AL blanks NL 3-0 as MVP Rivera gets a hold
NEW YORK (AP) -- American League pitchers shut down the best of the National League and blanked the Senior Circuit 3-0 to win baseball's annual midsummer classic, the All-Star Game. That ends the National League's three-game winning streak and means the American League team that advances to the World Series will have home-field advantage.
Ten American League pitchers held NL batters to three hits and combined on the shutout. The emotional highlight was 43-year-old New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, the all-time leader with 638 career saves, working a 1-2-3 eighth inning to cheers of the Citi Field crowd.
Rivera, who is retiring at the end of the season, received a 90-second standing ovation from fans, teammates and opposing players when he entered the game. Rivera doffed his cap and officially earned a hold for his scoreless frame in his 13th All-Star Game. He was named MVP.
Starter Max Scherzer of Detroit went the first inning. Winning pitcher Chris Sale of the Chicago White Sox worked two innings. Seattle's Felix Hernandez, Tampa Bay's Matt Moore and Oakland's Grant Balfour, Kansas City's Greg Holland, Toronto's Brett Cecil, Toronto's Steve Delabar preceded Rivera's eighth inning. Joe Nathan of Texas closed it out in the ninth for the save.
Toronto's Jose Bautista drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth. Baltimore's J.J. Hardy's fielder's choice drove in the second run in the fifth inning. Cleveland's Jason Kipnis had an RBI double in the eighth.
This was the ninth shutout in the 84-game history of the All-Star game, and second in a row. All-time, the NL holds a 43-39-2 advantage.
Cano leaves in first inning
NEW YORK (AP) -- New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano (kuh-NOH') hobbled off the field soon after being hit on the side of the right knee by a pitch from Mets ace Matt Harvey in the first inning of the All-Star game. Boston's Dustin Pedroia (peh-DROY'-uh) pinch ran for Cano and remained in the game. X-rays were negative and Cano said he ought to be ready when the season resumes Friday.
Cano, one of the few Yankees stars who remained healthy through the first half of the season, leads the team with 21 homers and 65 RBIs.
Here comes more replay
NEW YORK (AP) -- Major League Baseball says it is moving ahead with plans to expand instant replay for umpires' calls next year. MLB Executive Vice President Joe Torre told reporters, "we're pretty confident we'll have it in place for 2014."
An agreement would be needed with the unions for players and umpires.
Union says suspensions will not be this year
NEW YORK (AP) -- The baseball players' association says any suspensions resulting from the sport's latest drug investigation likely won't be served until next year if the discipline is challenged before an arbitrator. The head of the union, Michael Weiner (WEE'-nur) says he expects Major League Baseball will notify the union of its plans for penalties in the next month, and the union will maintain that any discipline should not be announced until after arbitrator Fredric Horowitz upholds a ban.
Former MVPs Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun are among the players under investigation for ties to Biogenesis, a closed anti-aging clinic linked with the distribution of performance-enhancing drugs.
Clark in line to be deputy union chief
NEW YORK (AP) -- Former major league first baseman Tony Clark, who joined the union staff in 2010 after a 15-year playing career, has emerged as the top contender for the deputy executive director at the baseball players union. Michael Weiner (WEE'-nur), the current executive director, is still on the job despite having been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and currently confined to a wheelchair.
Weiner took over from Donald Fehr (feer) in December 2009 to become the fourth head of the union since 1966. He was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor last August and remains at work. The union will appoint a deputy executive director within two weeks, and the union's executive board will decide whether that deputy will succeed him. The executive board meets in La Jolla, Calif., from Dec. 2-5.
Detroit Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter says it's tough to see Weiner's health in decline. "But at the same time, he's happy. He doesn't want the sympathy, and he still wants to work," Hunter says.

SOVIET RUSSIA'S PART IN SPANISH WAR REVEALED (1) By LUIS ARAQUISTAIN Inside facts of Russia's intervention in the Spanish civil war are told here by the former Republican Ambassador to France, who was closely associated with Francisco Largo Caballero when the latter was Spanish Premier and was combating the Communists' attempts to seize power. Señors Araquistain and Largo Caballero are now in exile. Soon after the beginning of the military insurrection against the Spanish republic in July of 1936, the name of Francisco Largo Caballero, the most popular Socialist leader of Spain, was being acclaimed in workers' meetings and at the fronts with the addition of "The Spanish Lenin." The order to use this qualifying phrase came from Moscow. The Communists needed a figurehead in Spain. In their own party there was not one outstanding intellectual, political or labour personality. The mental or moral level of its own best-known men and women — Jose Diaz, Jesus Hernandez, Vincente Uribe, " La Pasionaria," Margarita Nelken — was too low. They aspired to be directors of the Spanish tragedy on the republican side, while other men, of other parties, would be the visible actors. The chief rôle in the cast was assigned to Largo Caballero. They gave him a grand title: that of "Spanish Lenin." That was the greatest honour they could bestow upon a man who was not a Communist. A few months later, at the beginning of 1937, the Communists started to pull down the man they themselves had raised to tne clouds. The idol they had manufactured was made of clay. The man they had chosen for his diamantine character, for his energy as a ruler, for his popularity as a leader of masses, became exactly the opposite — a weak old man, vacillating, without roots in the working class. Why this sudden change? Nothing could be simpler. " The Spanish Lenin " had turned out to be excessively Leninian, too personal and independent, a Spaniard who wanted to govern his country according to the spirit and the interests of his fatherland and not to the dictates of a policy placed at the service of a foreign nation. It was the fable of Pygmalion in reverse — of a man whom the Communists wanted to make a lifeless puppet, docile in their hands When he rebelled against the Soviet Pygmalion, who was more dull than astute, the latter decided to destroy him. That and no other was the meaning of the May, 1937, crisis, in which Dr. Juan Negrin replaced Largo Caballero in the premiership. It meant the triumph of the Communist policy in Spain. The day of that crisis was the day the war was lost for the Republic. The Spanish war was lost through the fault of the Communists. Did they really want to win it? ON POLITICAL COMMISSARS The first conflict between Largo Caballero and the Communists hinged on the political commissars of the army. One day, Premier Largo Caballero learned that, without consulting him, though he was also minister of war, the commissar-general, Julio Alvarez Del Vayo, who was also foreign minister, had appointed hundreds of political commissars in the republican army. The majority were communists (1) These articles were distributed in the North and South American press by the North American Newspaper Alliance. The idea of the political commissars had also been imported from Russia. The Communists wanted to have a monopoly on commissars, not to educate and inflame the soldiers, but to compel them to enrol in the party, offering them advantages and promotions if they did and persecuting them by every means - including attempts against their lives - if they refused. From the first moment, the Communists were the most privileged part, the aristocracy of the republican army. For that they made use of the political commissars and for that Alvarez Del Vayo appointed them. Largo Caballero cancelled those appointments, which had been made behind his back and in favour almost exclusively of the Communist party - that is to say, of Soviet policy in Spain. On that day the Socialist leader signed his death warrant as head of the government. The Communists did not want a "Spanish Lenin" of flesh and blood, but of straw. It will surprise some that Alvarez Del Vayo, a Socialist, should lend himself to this policy of favouring communism. For those of us who know him from long ago, there is nothing surprising in it. Since much before the war, his conduct was that of a perfect " libellatic." (In the early days of Christianity the word " libellatic " was applied to those who, being already Christians, displayed a " libel " or certificate attesting that they worshipped the pagan idols.) That is, he was a Communist without officially having ceased to belong to the Socialist party. His body belonged to this party; his heart, to communism. The Soviet witches found in him an easy Macbeth. All of us who have had some contact with the Communists know this tactic of stimulating the ambitions and flattering those they want to seduce. When I was ambassador in Paris, a certain agent of the Comintern used to come every day to offer me I don't know how many political and social kingdoms in Spain. Finally, one day, tiring of so much adulation, I ended by saying to him: " Don't tire yourself. Neither am I Macbeth, nor do I believe in witches." Alvarez Del Vayo lent an ear to the witches of Communism and offered himself as the Macbeth of the Spanish proletariat. He would sacrifice his own party and the Spanish people, if necessary, to serve Russia. He would be the king of revolutionary Spain; the political and labour heir of Largo Caballero, the supreme leader of the Spanish workers united in a single labour party controlled by the Communists. This labour of unification, that is to say, of absorption of the Socialist proletariat by Communism, had its start in the youth groups. One had to unify the Socialist and the Communist youth. The preparatory operations were conducted in the home of Alvarez Del Vayo. I lived in Madrid one floor above Alvarez Del Vayo and could witness the daily visits made to him by young Socialist leaders with the purpose of interviewing the Comintern agent then operating in Spain, one Codovila, who used the false name of Medina and spoke Spanish with a strong South American accent. There it was that a voyage to the Muscovite Mecca was organised for them; there it was arranged to deliver the Socialist youth, the working generation of Spain to Soviet

We imagine a few of you might be bleary eyed this morning, if you stayed up to watch the results of the US election. You would have been in good company as stars from Beyonce to Lady Gaga cheered on Obama's victory and tweeted pictures of themselves visiting polling stations along with the hashtag '#IVoted'. The President himself received a huge amount of attention when he tweeted at 4am today (UK time) a confirmation of his win - 'Four more years' - along with a photo of he and his wife Michelle embracing on the happy occasion. It's unsurprising that this adorably personal snap has been retweeted over 500K times and favourited by nearly 200K followers, surpassing Justin Bieber's 'RIP Avalanna. I love you' tweet from September this year as the most retweeted tweet in the history of Twitter. Phew, try saying that after a few Mojitos!
Beyonce, who along with hubby Jay-Z has made it clear that she's a huge Team Obama fan, posted several pictures on her blog and Facebook page over the last 24-hours, including a photo of herself in a 'Texans for Obama' t-shirt and the statement 'TAKE THAT MITCHES' in references to Republican candidate Mitt Romney's supporters. Lady Gaga also looked in high spirits as she and a group of friends celebrated the final verdict tweeting 'We just couldn't be happier my goodness, the joy when freedom prevails.'

Is your family or class stuck inside on a blustery day? Escape into wilderness through a cozy book that reminds you and your kids of the great outdoors you love! Here are some we recommend you share with your children or students to foster appreciation and care for wild lands:
There's no question that the benefits that wilderness offers are plentiful, from the health and wellbeing of our families to that of our communities and economies.
In the past five years, several states and cities have adopted an outdoor bill of rights for children.
Hearing that Shell is drilling in the Arctic Ocean just 12 miles from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one thing, but seeing it is another. To observe a drilling rig so close to the Coastal Plain of the refuge – vital habitat for caribou and polar bears – is chilling.
The state of energy today is anything but clear. Is increased oil and gas drilling the way to lower gas prices? Are natural gas and renewables the best prescription for energy independence? Will the XL Keystone pipeline create more jobs for communities?
We want to hear your best idea. We've partnered with the U.S. Forest Service, the Ad Council, GOOD (good.is) and GOOD Maker (maker.good.is) to launch the "Discover the Forest, Get Your Community Outdoors!" challenge.
She stands on the rock, looking out over the water hole, over the sandy wash--a mountain lion in an Arizona summer. Looking past her shoulder we see what she sees.
Your go-to spot for American recreation is getting a make-over.
Solar energy is an especially appealing option for the rooftop of your home. Using private rooftops to generate solar energy helps save our wild public lands from development! And you can save money on your electric bill.
America's National Wildlife Refuges are some of the absolute best places in the country for wildlife. They offer unparalleled opportunities to see birds, elk, deer and bears in their most natural habitats.

Only Good Apples
in this Bunch!
Oliver was the first person I smiled at online when I became newly single. The next morning, I had a nice e-mail from Oliver sharing his geeky computer experiences. He had mentioned his family owned an apple orchard so I replied stating that I loved apples but that they gave me the "trots". Then I received no response. Worried that I'd scared him away, I continued to go on more dates. But then he replied! He had been taken away for work purposes and couldn't contact me. We made a date for two weeks later when he returned from abroad. When we met, it was instant chemistry. I knew he was the one when we shared raspberry gelato while we talked and walked for hours. We were married this October 10, 2010, three and a half years from our first date.
True Love Forever
In November 2008 I decided to go out of my comfort zone and try Lavalife. I was on the site for one month before finding my one true love. I did not know true love existed before I met my girlfriend, but now I know that true love is alive and well. She is my love, my life, and my everything and I cannot imagine spending one more second without her. Lavalife allowed me to express who I really was without having that fear of rejection. Now that I have my girlfriend, I am truly happy and know that we will be together forever. Thank you, Lavalife.
They Found Love in Lava Land!
I moved half way across the country and thought that Lavalife might be a great way to meet someone special. I didn't know what to expect but I thought patience would be the key to finding love in Lava Land. While I was starting with enthusiasm, "Smiley Face" had all but given up when she sent me an smile. Her smiling face lured me to her profile and after reading her "in my own words" I sent her a message. After a few message exchanges we agreed to meet. She was the first (and last) person that I agreed to meet in person. We met for coffee and, ironically, after our first meeting I received an errant text message congratulating me on my engagement. I was able to text back one year later and thank the mystery sender for those wishes! We've been married for over a year and thought we should send one last thank-you card out. So thanks, we definitely clicked!
For more information on Lavalife, read our help section or contact customer service.

Size & Fit Size :size
Availability :
Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joel Cool and sturdy The keychain is a really nice color, and it's made out of great, lightweight, sturdy material that doesn't bend under pressure. My only criticism is that the bottle opener portion of the keychain is almost too shallow to allow enough leverage to pry the bottle cap off the bottle (It still functions, just not as effortlessly as some of my other bottle openers). I understand this design choice, however, because making the keychain any larger would make it too cumbersome to fit comfortably in my pocket. January 19, 2013

notably the now fully established RTOs) to adopt an open transmission planning process that coordinates with stakeholders, including state authorities. 8 This process must include a "reasonable and meaningful opportunity" for stakeholders, including state commissions, "to meet or otherwise interact meaningfully," during which all assumptions underlying transmission system plans are disclosed. 9 Order 890 also provides for a resolution process to manage disputes arising from the planning process. The planning process is designed to be participatory to avoid discrimination or lack of independence, and to increase transparency, with a Section 206 complaint contemplated in the absence of consensus. The thrust of Order 890 is that its requirements are being imposed under FERC's authority pursuant to Section 206 of the FPA to prevent undue discrimination in open-access transmission service: "Transmission customers have complained that even in RTO markets there are instances when comparable transmission service is not provided, particularly in the area of transmission planning." 10
While FERC recognized that certain issues, such as retail load, fell within the states' bailiwick, and that siting is primarily a state concern, it stressed in Order 890 that the ultimate control over planning was within the RTO's authority and required compliance with the FERC-approved planning process in order to ensure open and equal treatment. Even if discrimination concerns do not arise in the generally understood sense, ( e.g., enabling a generation-owning transmission owner to block equal access to its lines) regional consistency in assumptions discourages discrimination and prevents disparate treatment as a general matter. In contrast, a state agency's statutorily authorized charge is state-centric ( i.e., to examine a proposed project solely within the prism of benefit to its citizens and ratepayers).
Reliability Planning
In enacting FPA Section 215, Congress explicitly gave FERC jurisdiction over all users, owners, and operators of the bulk-power system for purposes of approving reliability standards and enforcing compliance. Section 215 defines a reliability standard as:
[A] requirement, approved by the Commission under this section, to provide for reliable operation of the bulk-power system. The term includes requirements for the … design of planned additions or modifications to such facilities to the extent necessary to provide for reliable operation of the bulk-power system, but the term does not include any requirement to enlarge such facilities or to construct new transmission capacity or generation capacity.
Read in the context of Section 215 and the FPA as a whole, this provision envisions that FERC identifies through its reliability standards the extent of need for reliability purposes, while state authorities determine how to meet that need— e.g., whether to build more transmission or employ non-transmission alternatives. The remaining provisions in Section 215 support this conclusion, in that they identify federal and regional bodies as the arbiters of reliability standards.
Consistent with the definition of a reliability standard, Section 215 specifically states that it doesn't authorize FERC or NERC to order construction—as noted, a state is free to meet a defined need through non-transmission alternatives, such as energy efficiency and other load-reducing mechanisms. Section 215 goes on to provide that it also doesn't

I am now half-way through CD 1 of the NGS Home Study Course. Three lessons down, three to go. I just completed the library survey assignment and conducted my survey on the Wheaton Public Library. This local DuPage County Library has a large genealogical collection. Their website is so wonderful that I was able to complete part of my survey and report writing at home using the website. This then only required a couple hour visit to the library to finish the report.
Now I need to complete the other three lessons before May so I can get that and a few other things off my plate so I can enjoy the summer more fully with my boys. I plan to be a pool bum again with them as much as possible this summer.

As this pushchair sports the simplest of fold systems, trips via public transport are a breeze and you can squeeze any extra shopping into its mesh basket. Shrug off wet weather and play peek-a-boo with baby using the detachable showerproof hood and versatile viewing panel.I come with
I can find no fault with this product. This is my third buggy now and its a shame i didn't find it first, very very easy to fold away. The seat is lovely a deep and gives my son plenty of room, which is why i needed a new buggy. It was very easy to set up. I also wanted a lightweight buggy and this one is perfect, even with my son in there its easy to push around. An overall great product.
I switched to this product from another product, so glad I did. It is so easy to set up and collapse, it an even be done one handed. The fact that I have some boot space back too is fantastic. The basket underneath is great for storing items which I couldn't before. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a stylish pushchair, easy to use and good value for money.
Definitely recommend this pushchair. Its sturdy and still lightweight. I have purchased the bumper bar for it and that makes a nice touch. Helps my little one of 5 months able to pull himself up. The footrest is ideal as a little seat too... my 3 yr old refuses to use a buggy board but will more than happy get me to stop walking so he can sit too... even with both children in the pushchair it is still easy to manoeuvre. There is a huge pocket in the hood too which is ideal to hide anything.
Overall great quality pushchair. This product is exactly what I was looking for
Easy to use , light , will last a long time

This ring was just as described. It's perfect for an active lifestyle - easy to wear - and simply beautiful.
I was looking for a small diamond eternity band to wear with wedding band and engagement ring. I have small fingers and didn't want something so bulky. I was weary of ordering a ring online without really "seeing" it - touching it. I thought - well, I'll probably end up shipping it back - but I wanted to try it. I ordered two-day shipping, which worked very well for me. I am impressed with the quality and shine of this ring. It is exactly what I was looking and hoping for. If you are looking for a bulky ring, or a ring with big diamonds, this is not for you. If you are looking for a delicate, skinny band with small diamonds all around, this is a good choice.
I love this ring. It is for my 20 year anniversary. I wanted to add to my original set and this ring fits perfect.
Beautiful ring...bought 2....good quality for price...would recommend purchase :)

Movement 1: Allegro moderato e maestoso Andantino con moto Cadenza
Movement 2: Andante Cadenza Adagio
Movement 3: Allegro molto Allegro poco più moderato Vivo
Notable for the transparency of its scoring, d'Erlanger's concerto launches straight into the first subject, announced by the soloist in triple- and double-stopped chords without an orchestral introduction. The soloist soars away in running semiquavers, eventually presenting a more lyrical version of the theme and immediately moving on to the singing second subject. A succession of rising trills by the soloist leads to a cadenza-like unaccompanied middle-section before the first subject reappears in the orchestra. The lyrical second subject returns in various keys and with a short coda, Allegro animando, the horns herald the close and a brief gesture of dismissal.
The composer's treatment of the orchestra—with constantly varied touches of instrumental colour, and often with only two or three instruments playing, typically answering each other—is particularly characteristic in the gorgeous slow movement. A nine-bar introduction creates a nocturnal atmosphere with bell-like notes on flute and harp over hushed strings. The cor anglais then sings the plaintive first subject, immediately repeated and extended by the soloist. After thirty-one bars it is taken up by the clarinet, the soloist now accompanying with arpeggiated chords across the strings. The second subject follows on the strings with rising decorations by the soloist. The first theme is repeated, now in F minor, with muted accompanying strings. A haunting romantic motif is heard on the horns and will be heard several times before the end. Eventually a cadenza-like passage of running semiquavers presages the return of the cor anglais and a brief orchestral climax before, musing on the horn's romantic motif, the music fades on the soloist's long-held pianissimo top C.
The finale comes as a great surprise—a diaphanous scherzando, all fairy gossamer. The music falls into a succession of sixteen related short episodes. The first theme starts in 9/8 and proceeds in 6/8, its leaping triplet motion giving it the feel of a saltarello. A contrasted theme in 12/8 appears in the strings in the fifth episode, and in the next the first theme of the first movement returns in staccato crochets. The writing for the soloist is brilliant throughout, though d'Erlanger does not feel the need for another cadenza.

U.S. Online Travel Overview Twelfth Edition
While the economy - and the travel industry - didn't improve as much in 2012 as everyone hoped, U.S. travelers remain resilient. Phocuswright's U.S. Online Travel Overview Twelfth Edition hashes out the impact of the current economic uncertainty on the industry and delves into the dynamics of the industry's near future. In addition to market sizing and growth forecasts by travel segment and distribution channel - including mobile - the report tracks the technology trends that will shape the industry through 2014.

When They Get There (and Why They Go): Activities, Attractions, Events and Tours
While U.S. travelers spent nearly $27 billion on travel activities, attractions, events and tours in 2009, these activities have failed to penetrate and participate in the broader travel distribution ecosystem. This report analyzes the travel opportunity for events and activities in the U.S., and identifies opportunities and challenges for travel suppliers, distributors and technology providers.

U.S. Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition: Cruise
The cruise industry is experiencing a modest but welcome recovery in 2010 after a brutal 2009. The recession and subsequent collapse of demand forced cruise lines to slash prices, while the H1N1 crisis in Mexico in the first half of the year effectively killed a major destination market and created itinerary chaos in the Caribbean market. But the crisis has abated.

U.S. Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition: Online Travel Agencies
Like umbrella sales on a rainy day, OTAs do best when inclement conditions dampen the travel marketplace. But despite the countercyclical boost, the OTA segment as a whole skidded off its growth track for the first time in 2009. The decline was inconsistent across companies, however, and share shifts between the major players concentrated the loss to certain brands, while other brands managed to buck the trend.

U.S. Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition: Airlines
Although 2008 and 2009 were among the worst years for U.S. airlines, 2010 is shaping up to be among the best. The 2008 oil price spike, which led to untenable fuel prices for airlines, was followed by a steep economic recession. The result was a dramatic decline in corporate demand for travel and, for airlines, those precious premium customers.

LFW S/S '12 Show Report: Christopher Kane
Can swimming pool sandals ever be cool? No. But we love that Christopher Kane always picks something that is totally off kilter, and turns it into a 'fashion' item. Whether people will wear them or not is a different matter, but that's not the point. Yesterday Christopher chose to show in a vast empty office space in the shadow of St Pauls Cathedral. It was the third empty office we'd been in in three days, which was a sore reminder of the times, but was the perfect bright and airy space to showcase SS'12.
Traditionally Christopher picks a single theme and runs with it. But this season he opened it up a bit, although again he plucked inspiration from his childhood, drawing on a teenage girl's bedroom - no doubt his sister, Tammy's. How that explains the opening section of sharp shift dresses and separates, I'm not sure, but it makes sense come to the chinzy florals, and the 'sticker' dresses. While the crystal knee jeans seemed to be another one of his 'so wrong' pieces, he weirdly makes them right. Maybe I'm totally under his influence (as we all are), but I would seriously wear them. This collection was so refined, that it will have the longevity of the season and beyond, and will be harder to spot as an unmistakable Christopher Kane look, as the fluoro tattoo collection of a year ago, or the crochet and liquid dresses of last season.
And fittingly, like the teenage girls who influence him, after the show I immediately downloaded his haunting Lana Del Rey's 'Video Games' soundtrack, and listened to it on repeat when I got home.

It seems like we're always trying to make it to the gym, but many don't realize how a few simple Workout Accessories can help you get a full-body workout in the comfort of your home. Simple pieces of workout equipment like a jump rope, medicine ball or inflatable exercise ball provide resistance and aerobic training for an at-home workout, and can easily be stored in a closet. Or bring some of them to the gym to supplement the heavy-duty workout equipment.
Add variety to your home or gym workout. Shop workout accessories from brands like Body Solid and Life Fitness.
While hitting the gym for a workout on advanced equipment is nice, it's also possible to get a great home workout with a select amount of workout equipment and workout accessories. A jump rope is one of the greatest ways to get both aerobic and anaerobic workouts in, while push-up bars, a medicine ball and an ab-roller can work nearly all of the rest of the muscles in your body. They'll also contribute to muscle confusion, which is the key to many of today's most popular workouts. And many of these workout accessories can be easily stuffed in a suitcase or gym bag, or hidden behind the couch after a home workout.

Our Classics & Masters section contains many of the finest masterpieces created throughout the history of art until the beginning of the 20th Century.
Western art usually traces its origins back to the Italian Renaissance. Greatly influenced by ancient Greek and Roman sources, early renaissance art tends to be formal and restrained. The style of painting and sculpture later became more naturalistic as the human figure was celebrated in all its glory. Much art during that period was commissioned by or for the Catholic Church, and was often large scale, presenting the Life of Christ painted in fresco. The years of the Italian High Renaissance in Florence, Rome and Mantua were characterised by the harmonious yet restrained ideals of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo.
Following on from the high renaissance the Mannerists in Florence are notable for their freer handling of paint and theatrical lighting. The trend towards increased naturalism and drama reached its peak during the Baroque period of the 1600s with artists such as Rembrandt, Rubens and Caravaggio pioneering the use of chiaroscuro; a strong contrast between light and dark. In France meanwhile Nicolas Poussin drew on classical themes and developed a lighter palette.
During the 1700s David and Ingres were among the artists that drew on the influences of Poussin in developing neoclassicism. Entering the 1800s, Delacroix and Gericault were among the proponents of Romanticism, which drew inspiration instead from painters like Rubens and Titian. In England Turner drew on similar sources as well as creating poignant images of a changing world as the industrial revolution began.
Browse through our collection of historical masterpieces to discover far more about the artists and movements that have shaped our culture and choose one of these pieces as an enduring reminder of mankind's greatest achievements.

Gives the frame its character and provides the perfect setting for an artwork to be fully enjoyed.
Protects the artwork from dust and wilting so that it can be admired for many years.
Adds depth to an image and works with the moulding to enhance and protect the artwork.
Bonds to the artwork ensuring it is perfectly smooth and holds the whole frame together.
We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

Happy New Year hope you all made it without problems.
"Then at long last, Azmodan shall reign as the Prime Evil!"
There'll probably be at least an announcement at Blizzcon.Quote from iZara
Quote from Darwinian
Happy New Year! Here's to hoping for Diablo 3 to get better and better in the coming year. Expansion announcement perhaps?
From the leaked timeline awhile ago, the first expansion was slated for Q2 of 2013, obviously that's not going to happen. HotS was slated to be out Q4 of 2011, which is coming in March. I'd hope for an announcement by the end of the year.

Popcorn Basket
By Jackie
from Old Bridge, NJ
I paid $20.00 extra for special delivery and it was not delivered until 3 days after expected date. I was very disappointed with that. I have been ordering for years and that was the first time that happened. However, customer service did say I will get a refund of that money. I will see when my credit card bill arrives.

Mozart: Divertimenti K247 & 334
CDA67386 Archive Service
Movement 1: Allegro
Movement 2: Andante grazioso
Movement 3: Menuetto
Movement 4: Adagio
Movement 5: Menuetto
Movement 6: Andante Allegro assai
The following Andante grazioso shares its key (C major), mood, and instrumental textures (though not its rhythmical character) with the Andante of Eine kleine Nachtmusik. The simple binary form is extended with a coda, where, after a short episodic excursion, the opening idea is beautifully enriched and elaborated. The first of the two minuets is formed from alternating short phrases, forte and piano. To begin with, the alternations are quite formal, the dynamic contrasts pointed by having the full ensemble interspersed with the strings alone. But after a while Mozart disrupts the pattern he has set up, getting the horns to contribute to a quiet phrase, having the two violins on their own, and extending some of the loud phrases to double their expected length. A short solo for the horns introduces the minor-key trio; a feature that might seem like a purely functional transition until we hear the unexpected and witty way it is used later on.
The B flat major Adagio is, like the slow movements of many of Haydn's earlier quartets, designed as a violin solo. The dominating triplet movement creates a gentle, dreamy, serenade-like atmosphere, not dissimilar to the mood of the Adagio of the G major Violin Concerto, K216, composed the previous year. These pervasive triplets take different forms; they appear sometimes as part of the melody, or as a repeated chordal accompaniment, or with a variety of subsidiary ideas in the inner parts. At several points the second violin and viola combine in octaves, creating a striking, memorable sonority. And the places where the triplets cease, at the end of each main section of the movement, serve to make the form clear at the same time as providing touching, intimate points of concentration. The second minuet is full of colour and surprise, its bright, quirky mood enhanced by the prominent horn parts. The melody at the start features a folk-like sharpened fourth degree of the scale. Unexpected cross-rhythms alternate with suave, courtly phrases, and each section is rounded off by a sequence of four plucked chords. The trio, in the key of B flat and without horns, harks back, with its expressive violin solo, to the preceding Adagio.
The finale has a short Andante introduction whose solemnity makes one, for a moment, think forward to Sarastro in The Magic Flute. The main part of the movement is a lively, compact rondo, whose episodes revisit in turn the main key centres of the work: C major, D minor, B flat major. The rondo theme makes use of an F major arpeggio, allowing the natural horns in F to play a prominent thematic role. One of the most beautiful touches comes in the final bars, when this figure, always heard before in unison, is now given a soft, undulating accompaniment, and is presented in imitation, with the bass answering the horns and first violin.

If you're looking to ice your spirits without watering them down, this silicon mold produces a diagonal, ski-slope like slice of ice that simply won't over-dilute a drink. It's ideal for chilling whiskey and letting it open over time as ice slowly gives way to water, but works with basically anything, alcohol-based or other.

If you're reading this on your laptop, chances are your back is hunched, elbows are scrunched and your neck is craned. One solution to laptop fatigue is Pillar, a stand that lifts the computer up to eye level. It weighs just over five ounces, and when collapsed, fits into most notebook sleeves, messenger bags and backpacks.
Anxiety isn't a modern disorder, but in the past people didn't pop a pill to calm their nerves. Instead, they turned to the naturally soothing properties of the Melissa plant, a lemon balm used medicinally for the past 2,000 years. Premier Italian apothecary Santa Maria Novella derived their own Melissa-based formula in 1690, which is still as helpful today. Add a dash to a cup of water and let the good vibes settle in.
The unlikely byproduct of Cuba's trade embargo with the US is a previously undocumented preservation of lavish midcentury architecture and design in Havana.

Anybody who avoids the trans-fat saturated and sugary nut butter varieties knows the oily, separated gloop that becomes of a fancy—or just healthy—nut butter. Instead of stirring it with a knife (like a chump) try this logical, but very clever mixer.
