The Perfect 3.1 Phillip Lim Dress, Found at the Barneys Warehouse Sale
Everyone has that one item of clothing that, for some inexplicable reason (like a looming credit card bill), never made it into their closet. That one special dress/top/skirt that would have worked perfectly with those shoes/bag /jacket. In my case it was a 3.1 Phillip Lim purple, Grecian-draped silk jersey tulip dress. It was the perfect color (purple is surprisingly flattering color for a lot of skin tones); the perfect shape (it nips in at the waist and falls rather nicely over the thighs); and the perfect work to weekend, summer-to-fall piece. I saw myself wearing it with heels and a long gold necklace at night, and tights, a turtleneck, a leather bomber, and long leather boots for day. This past weekend, I entered the chaos that is the twice yearly warehouse sale at Barneys. And after a serious scrum with a number of hungry shoppers, sharpened elbows at the ready, I found myself staring at 'my'/THE dream dress. Eureka!!!! The only one on the hanger; it was meant to be.
Check out the Barneys Warehouse Sale now on at 255 West 17th Street in NYC. And if you stop by, let us know what you scored in the comments.

"We went on a Sunday at the tail end of the Brunch. Food had been sitting out for a while. The waitress was very friendly and into beer. Unfortunately all of the beers tasted like they had been cut half and half with tap water. The Honest Abe brew was the best of the lot, but everything else was very disppointing. Food is very pricey here also. I had to make the trip to Mickey Finn's the same afternoon to get some decent beer. Please take the few extra minutes to travel north to Mickey's."

Chapel begins at 11 a.m. in Ram Hall on the UMobile campus, 5735 College Parkway, Mobile, Ala. The public is invited and admission is free. For information, call the UMobile Media Relations Office at 251.442.2215. Hailed by a New York Times writer as a "modern-day Will Rogers who has quietly become one of the most influential people in America," Andy Andrews is an internationally known speaker and novelist whose combined works have sold millions of copies worldwide. His newest book, "The Final Summit," will be released nationwide April 12. He has been received at the White House and has spoken at the request of four different United States presidents. His speaking style is filled with humor, and he is in demand as a speaker by corporations, civic groups and the nation's military. Andrews' best-selling book, "The Traveler's Gift: Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success," remained on the New York Times bestseller list for four and a half months and was translated into nearly 20 languages. His two-hour PBS special, "Andy Andrews: The Seven Decisions," received outstanding reviews. He is the author of numerous books, including the New York Times best-seller "The Noticer," released in 2009 and based on his life. Andrews, of Orange Beach, Ala., lived a relatively normal life until the age of 19, when both of his parents died – his mother from cancer, his father in an automobile accident. Within a span of several years, the young man found himself homeless, sleeping occasionally under a pier on the gulf coast or in someone's garage. "The Noticer" blends fiction, allegory, inspiration and the true story of Andrews' life to inspire readers to take a first step toward a major life change.

Happy Halloween, once again, one and all! This year I ask that we consider some choice old horror anthologies, in whose pages lurk all sorts of scares and shocks. The horror tradition in comics has long been dominated by a model developed by the EC comics company in the 1950s, whose titles like Tales from the Crypt featured cornball "hosts" (the Cryptkeeper and his ilk), pun-filled narration, surprise twist endings (the werewolf was his brother!), wide-eyed bigfoot cartooning, and endless! exclamation! points! I admire EC and its murderer's row of artists as much as the next comics reader, but our attentions now turn to those collections that worry the boundaries of the EC-style anthology, or pounce outside of them altogether.
* * *
In 1962, late in his career, kiddie comics master John Stanley briefly turned his hand to the horror genre. The indispensable Stanley Stories blog has lately been posting his strips from Ghost Stories and Tales from the Tomb in their entirety. The typically incisive commentary over there covers much of what I would want to say about these, frankly, kind-of-insane comics, so I urge you to click through.
I'd like to emphasize, though, just how much Stanley got away with, thanks to working under the aegis of Dell Comics, the innocuous, kids-only publisher of titles like Donald Duck, Little Lulu, and Fairy Tale Parade — atypical fare for the gore-and-guts set. Dell's spotless G-rated record allowed it to publish beyond the censorial eye of the Comics Code Authority, who in the mid-'50s had neutered or foreclosed upon bloodthirsty troublemakers like EC and its imitators. Stanley's first stabs at horror were allowed to revel in threats of dismemberment, ghastly suicide, child-killing monsters, parents devoured by malevolent forces, and a scissors-wielding grandma who wants to knit you.
These ghost stories are another order of spooky altogether, the kind that confounds expectation, logic, and often comprehension. Stanley's uncredited collaborators stiffly delineate these dreamlike tales, and though the results are sometimes crude, they are always very far from inept. Underlying every panel and every page is Stanley's visual sophistication, which grants even the most wooden or unpracticed renditions the stark and primal quality of nightmare.
When we break through the muddle of the story to those final, gigantic panels, the effect is authentically startling, if absurd. We come forcibly out of the tale as though we're waking up in a cold sweat, breathless, puzzled as to what our fevered brains have conjured up. Like, the psychiatrist's head is a quilt?
* * *
Six issues of Skull appeared between 1970 and 1972. Gary Arlington, proprietor of the renowned San Francisco Comic Book Company, came up with the bare bones idea for a horror anthology in the EC tradition; artist Greg Irons fleshed it out, and underground comics had another addition to its onslaught of horror books. Most of Skull featured the grim crosshatching grotesquerie of Irons and Jack Jackson, as well as the first UG work from the smooth and heavy metal-friendly pen of Richard Corben, among others. Some less out-and-out examples of the genre formed part of the scene, too, though I'm less familiar with them, having only caught the barest glimpses of Slow Death, or Insect Fear or, most tantalisingly, the gruesome cute brut of Rory Hayes's Bogeyman (send in your unwanted copies c/o The Walrus).
Skull is worth singling out if only because it distinguished itself, late in the series, by taking EC's literary aspirations and turning them inside out. So where EC's go-to pulp auteur was the square and kind of respectable Ray Bradbury, the Skull crew gave over two entire issues to groovy, eldritch H.P. Lovecraft adaptations. True, the influence of Lovecraft and his Cthulhu Mythos in literary horror has been as pervasive and maybe pernicious as EC's in comics. At the time of the undergrounds, though, horror comics had as yet been been unmolested by the man's tentacles, so an infusion of the Old Ones into the genre could at least boast the virtue of novelty. And at best, transposing Lovecraft to this setting helped connect with the UG's flair for depicting goings-on in extremis (hence Michael Smith's flesh-melting psychedelic freak-out in "Cool Air"). The gleeful, de trop stylings of many of the artists match well with Lovecraft's squelching purple prose ("a nightmare caked and clotted with bloody shreds of alien flesh and hair, embraced by a malignant retinue of sleeping bats").
In Skull's final issue, the full-length "A Gothic Tale," Irons and Corben — the twin poles of slick and dirty UG professionalism — took turns illustrating writer Tom Veitch's centuries-spanning Lovecraftian story of mad science, gross monstrosity, and weird old religion. It's a fine capstone to an interesting series, one of those fully conceived, self-contained little packages of which the underground was sometimes impressively capable.
* * *
In the 1980s, having helped redefine monster comics as part of the all-star Swamp Thing team (who, if you're wondering, had nothing to do with the film), artist Steve Bissette had yet further services to perform in his favoured genre. Determined to continue setting an example for seriousness in horror comics, rather than uphold the cheesy old punch-pulling norm, Bissette cofounded and edited a series called Taboo. The books were thick tomes rather than floppy pamphlets, whose bold conception was on occasion actually matched by the capabilities of their contributors. Taboo's publication history is fascinating and convoluted and depressing, tied as it is to the various industry implosions of the time. The result of this tortuous past is that the series is a record of projects interrupted, delayed, or left unfinished. Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's Jack the Ripper saga From Hell concluded elsewhere, for instance, as did both the Moore-written porno epic Lost Girls and Jeff Nicholson's Through the Habitrails, a sort of anti-Dilbert.
But the real one that got away was Throat Sprockets, an amalgam of not-quite-vampires and not-quite-snuff-films from Video Watchdog mastermind Tim Lucas. He completed the tale in prose novel form, but it's forever to be regretted that his working relationship with initial artist Mike Hoffman fell through. Hoffman's angular photorealism evinced a real feel for the sharpness and seediness of well-worn film prints, and Lucas proved remarkably adept at splicing and manipulating the language of comics.
Beyond this impressive array of halting serials, an above-average number of Taboo's highlights arrived in isolated contributions. There were some very pretty stand-alone stories from neo-pre-Raphaelite Michael Zulli, including a jaw-dropper written by Neil Gaiman's then-five-year-old daughter (Gaiman and Zulli's take on Sweeney Todd is another Taboo-fostered project that screeched to a skidding stop). Chester Brown wrung an unsettling amount of pathos out of funny animals falling prey to the food chain. Al Columbia, standard-bearer of modern-day horror comics, contributed some vivid, frenzied outpourings. What continues to haunt me, though, are a handful of candidates for career-best work from underground legend S. Clay Wilson: his graphic and sweaty and desperate "This is Dynamite" in particular strikes me as truly taboo, so relentlessly did his penlines scratch away at deep human ugliness.
We could've used another couple dozen volumes of horror comics under Bissette's stewardship, especially as the years have worn on and the talent pool has gotten deeper and darker, allowing for an easier skimming off of the dross. Imagine a thick regular instalment of something like Taboo, where Renee French's soft-penciled parables of death and deformity, or Josh Simmons's claustrophobic wrongness, or Columbia's cartoon apocalypses, all rub scabby shoulders. Ah well, such dreams are for Halloweens yet to come.

Blechman, whose far-reaching career making perfect little drawings should provide much to talk about. Details are here. Toronto readers, I'll see you at noon in Harbourfront's Brigantine Room.

Bahia Principe Travel Guide
Bahia Principe Local History
The Dominican Republic has the honour of being the first European settlement, as the Capital of the New World. Having the first University, first Church, first Cathedral, first Mass and first Royal Court, the importance of Santo Domingo declined when the continent became the target for conquest and colonization. The French established the colony of Haiti on the eastern side of the Island, where the slaves claimed and secured freedom in 1804.
After 1822, the Haitians held control of the whole island for 22 years, until 1844 when the Dominican Republic secured independence from Haiti, before becoming a Spanish colony once again in 1861. In 1863, independence was regained. To guarantee payment of debts with US and European banks, the United States occupied the Dominican Republic for 8 years, from 1916, and in 1930, the dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo took power, which he held resolutely until his execution in 1961.
Trujillo's death was followed by some years of upheaval. Juan Bosch was elected President in 1962, but was ousted by a military coup. Thereafter there ensued a series of short-lived interim governments until a revolution broke out in 1965.
After overcoming the political crisis of 1994, and as a result of controversy surrounding the results of that year's election, the "Pact for Democracy" was signed, with the approval of Dominican civil society, friendly governments and international organizations such as the OAS. This pact reduced Joaquin Balaguer's last presidential term to two years, so another general election was held in May 1996.
Dr. Leonel Fernandez, the Dominican Liberation Party's candidate, was elected and started his term on 16th August 1996.

search Program, Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, NCI, personal communication, December 16, 1998):
Funding for this four-year extramural grant is approximately $4 million per year, with a total award of approximately $16 million.
The division has established an Outcomes Research Section to examine outcomes measures used in clinical trials and to monitor the national burden of cancer. The section will support research in the areas of measurement of quality of life, cost, and quality of care. Aspects of clinical trial organization and financing will also be addressed (e.g., integrating trials into routine care) (Martin Brown, Head, Health Services and Economics Section, Applied Research Branch, Cancer Surveillance Research Program, Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, NCI, personal communication, December 16, 1998).
Office of Cancer Survivorship. In 1996, NCI established the Office of Cancer Survivorship to develop and support a research agenda that explores the long-and short-term physical and psychological effects of cancer and its treatment. The office has provided $4 million to supplement existing cooperative agreements, grants, and contracts. An additional $700,000 was committed by the Susan Komen Foundation. Investigator-initiated research will be funded with an additional $3 million per year for five years. Most of the research funded to date has focused on treatment complications (e.g., effects of cancer treatment on gonadal function and reproductive health) and quality-of-life issues (e.g., quality of life for adult survivors of childhood leukemia), but a few awards have addressed health services research issues (e.g., medical care costs of cancer). Box 7.3 shows prioritized areas of research for the Office of Cancer Survivorship.
Health services research supported by the NCI is shown for breast cancer in Box 7.4, other cancer sites in Box 7.5, and other general research (i.e., not cancer-site specific) in Box 7.6.

September 22, 2009: India faces an acute deficit of power. Almost half of Indian households (44%) do not have access to electricity. Average annual per capita consumption of electricity in India was only about 30% of the world's average in 2007- 2008. Generation capacity is insufficient to meet the existing demand for electricity, and transmission and distribution networks that carry power to consumers are inadequate.As the development of India's power sector is vital for the country's sustained and inclusive growth, the Government of India has embarked on an ambitious program to provide power to all its people by 2012. It plans to increase generation capacity from the present 147 GW to 200 GW, including through mobilization of private sector investment to the maximum extent possible. Cleaner energy sources – biomass, hydro, solar, wind, and nuclear – are also being developed.
As India's energy resources are spread unevenly across the country, the efficient transmission of power from surplus to deficient regions is critical. There is, therefore, a pressing need to strengthen and expand the all-India national transmission network - the national grid. Accordingly, by the end of the 11th Plan (2007-2012), the Government of India plans to substantially increase the cumulative transmission network of Powergrid - the national transmission system operator – enabling it to transfer 60% of the power generated in the country as compared to only 45% today.World Bank SupportIn response to the global downturn and at the request of the Government of India, the World Bank is extending a loan of $1 billion to Powergrid. The loan will help Powergrid to strengthen five transmission systems in the northern, western and southern regions of the country. This will facilitate the transfer of power from energy surplus regions to towns and villages in under-served regions of the country. This will also increase the integration of national grid, resulting in increased system reliability and a reduction in transmission losses.
The World Bank will finance 64% of the total project cost on average. All schemes are likely to be completed by 2014-15. The loan will be an IBRD flexible loan with a variable spread, a maturity of 29.5 years and a grace period of 5 years.The World Bank has supported Power Grid since its inception, during which time the company has nearly tripled its transmission network to become one of the world's largest electricity transmission system operators.
1.What is the development imperative for the proposed loan?
More than 44% of households in India do not have electricity for their daily needs. The shortage of reliable power supply is also constraining economic growth, with various regions facing energy shortages that vary between 4% and 16%. As the country's energy resources are spread unevenly across the country, the national grid has been set up by the national transmission utility, Powergrid, to connect various regions and transfer power to consumers efficiently.
With the Government of India embarking upon an ambitious program to increase power generation and bring electricity to all by 2012, there is a pressing need to augment and strengthen the existing transmission network so that this additional power reaches the entire country efficiently. According to plans, the cumulative transmission network of Powergrid is targeted to increase substantially over the 11th Plan (2007-12) allowing Powergrid to transfer 60% of power generated in the country as against 45% today.
2.What is the level of financing needed for this program?
The national transmission expansion plan is estimated to cost Rs 75,000 crore (approximately $16.5 billion), of which Rs 20,000 crore is expected to be brought in by private investors, while the major portion --- Rs 55,000 crore (approximately $12 billion1) – will be mobilized by Powergrid from internal resources and external financing such as the World Bank's loan.
Powergrid's robust financial position ensures that it will not face difficulties in raising domestic financing – in fact it issued bonds of $750 million in 2008/9 and intends raising close to another $3 billion in the capital markets over the next three years. However, faced with a contraction of capital flows into the country following the global financial crisis, the Government of India requested World Bank financing to ease Powergrid's need for commercial financing for its expansion program. This project will thus also contribute to GOI's efforts to stimulate the economy by enhancing investments in infrastructure. World Bank financing also comes with easy terms of interest.
3.The World Bank has supported Powergrid in the past. What has that experience been like?
The proposed project builds on the Bank's successful 15-year partnership with Powergrid that has seen the company emerge a world-class professional entity. The Bank's engagement with Powergrid has not only financed its investment programs with cumulative assistance of $3.1 billion to date, but it has also supported Powergrid's ongoing efforts to achieve world-class operations and management standards, improve its social and environment practices, and attract greater private participation.
In the 15 years it has been operating, Powergrid has achieved manifold growth and has contributed significantly towards development of the Indian power sector. Through steady improvements in planning, operations, management and overall governance, Powergrid now serves as an institutional role model not only for other transmission companies in India, but for other state-owned enterprises in developing countries. It operates and maintains one of the world's largest extra high voltage (EHV) transmission systems, with state-of-the art national and regional load dispatch centers. In recognition of its sound governance practices, the Government of India conferred the coveted "Navratna" status on Powergrid in May 2008, the highest honor for a public sector enterprise. In addition to its core transmission functions, Powergrid is providing consultancy services both at the national and international level, most notably in Afghanistan for all activities related to setting up and running efficient transmission systems.
The partnership with the Bank has also helped Powergrid adopt higher corporate standards in protecting the local environment and in safeguarding the social well-being of people who may be affected by its activities. One of Powergrid's most successful achievements lies in managing the possible environmental impacts of its operations. It has made several technological innovations that seek to minimizing damage to natural resources and human habitats. For instance, geographical information system (GIS) and satellite imagery are used to determine the least-intrusive routes for transmission lines and sites for substations.

Marine Places
Sandcliff (S) Reef
The boat moors over a sandy area fi lled with patch reefs. The wall is only a short swim away where divers head south along the drop-off. Divers swim through a short, deep channel that leads to the back reef, which is littered with sand patches, crevices, small swim-throughs, and a pair of old anchors resembling sea mines.
Points of Special Interest
1. Queen conch zone – The queen conch is the largest snail in the world; its giant shell alone can weigh as much as a bowling ball. If you can't see the conch follow the tracks in the sand
2. Goby cleaning station – Watch cleaning gobies remove parasites from client fish, who open their mouth and gills wide to get a thorough clean
3. Tunnel – Look inside this tunnel for the club-tipped anemone, a rare and distinctive variety, which uses its tentacles to draw food into its central mouth
4. Overhang – Schoolmaster snappers and Nassau grouper prefer to hunt as the light fades and often rest in recesses such as this during the day
5. Stingray zone – Southern stingrays feed in sandy areas. Look for hungry bar jacks accompanying the ray in order to snap up creatures disturbed by their friend
6. Pillar coral – These beautiful corals grow in tall columns. Their large polyps are extended even during the day, when most corals keep their polyps hidden, making the coral appear furry
7. Midnight parrotfish zone – The midnight parrotfish is rare across the Caribbean, but large individuals can sometimes be seen in the southern part of this dive site

Fibre-optic implants could be used to monitor healing wounds for signs of infection if research by Aston University scientists is successful.
A team of researchers plans to study how to turn fibre-optic technology that can measure temperature and detect biological signs of disease into a device for implanting into a wound at surgery.
Doctors currently tend to check for infection by monitoring a patient's temperature, but catching the problem before it has had a chance to affect the whole body could stop it becoming more serious. Click HERE to read more.

Okay, we've got it: The Academy Awards are like Hollywood's fairy-tale wedding. And the Golden Globes? Well, they're like the family bar mitzvah. Think about it: a glitzy sit-down dinner, buckets of weepy sentimentality, and, for many TV and film stars, an official coming-of-age. Among the celebs who reached award adulthood at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's 56th-annual big night: The Truman Show's Jim Carrey, who provided the night's biggest jaw dropper by scoring Best Actor in a drama over Tom Hanks; The Practice's Dylan McDermott and Felicity's Keri Russell, who both walked away with their first notable career awards; and Gwyneth Paltrow, named Best Actress in a Comedy for Shakespeare in Love.
Reflecting on Paltrow's victory at the Miramax post-show bash, proud studio cochairman (and Paltrow career godfather) Harvey Weinstein was sufficiently verklemmt: ''I can't even talk thinking about it,'' he gushed.
Then let's change the subject...to the Oscars. Though the Globes are widely considered a glamorous party with a few trophies sprinkled in, their Oscar foreshadowing is undeniable (five of last year's six big Oscar winners won Globes). Carrey even thanked ''the Academy'' in his joshing acceptance speech. ''They have to have some influence,'' said presenter George Lucas. ''All the Oscar voters watch the Globes.''
If that's the case, then Shakespeare and Truman, which have been taking an awards backseat to Saving Private Ryan, would earn the biggest boost from the night, having racked up three prizes each. (In addition, both John Madden and Peter Weir received Directors Guild nods.) Nudged Weinstein, who produced Shakespeare, ''I'd never make a statement like 'It's a real race now,' would I?'' You just did, Harvey.
Still, not everyone was counting his Oscar noms come evening's end. Carrey's win ''puts [our] movie in a position where it has to be considered,'' says Arthur Cohen, marketing president at Paramount, the studio behind Truman. ''But it doesn't mean that the Academy members can't choose entirely differently.'' One sign that he may be right: Carrey and Michael Caine, Best Actor in a Comedy for Little Voice, both failed to receive Screen Actors Guild nominations, which, like the Oscars, are voted on by industry actors.
If nothing else, the Globes' guests of honor will at least enjoy their contact high until next year's rite of passage: As Best Actress in a Drama Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth) noted just after her victory, ''I've been hugged more in the last 4 1/2 minutes than I have in the whole of my lifetime.''

Is the Stock Market Passing You By?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Is the Stock Market Passing You By? Don't be fooled. Slow down. There are significant risks in rapidly rising equity markets and I don't want you to be a casualty. Recent short sale squeezes and the central bank induced euphoria are only contributing to the problem facing disciplined, conservative investors.
Right now, I liken the situation to your typical, congested interstate. As the stock market races to new highs, many investors begin to feel the need for speed and switch from slow moving conservative investments to the faster moving equity investments. Driving in the right lane at the speed limit can be a frustrating experience as you watch faster traffic zip by at high speeds.
Equity rallies, particularly mature ones, have the same dangerous, emotional pull on individuals as they tend to change lanes near the end of the highway to capture the time lost by playing it safe along the way.
For instance, buyers of Apple (AAPL) in the last year, who perhaps felt they were plodding along with dividends and interest from bonds, are now full of regret as that company's stock price resembles a pile-up in the left lane.It can be hard to remain disciplined, especially when there seems to be evidence to the contrary. Take the recent meteoric rise of Herbalife (HLF), from $26 to $46. The jump in price gives the impression something positive is occurring at the company when in reality it's just a short sale squeeze.
These occur when many investors have sold a stock short, betting it will go down. If the stock in fact rises, these investors are forced to cover their bets by buying the stock, driving it further upward. In fact, the recent fall and rise in HLF is just a fight between hedge fund titans. Investors who saw the momentum and got in, were betting on an illusion.

Bee: My Little Neighbor

'Bee, sit down,'
'Bee, don't go out'
'Bee, don't run, don't shout'
All day, the flat next door
Reverberates with the sound of 'don't'
Amidst lives Bee… an 8 year old
girl. Thin body, dark hair
With large eyes full of fear.
The girl stands quiet
in the balcony. The eyes,
so full of despair,
stay fixed on the road where
Boys of 6,7, 8,9,10,
play cricket with abandon
Joy. Nobody asks them not to run
or scream, or to slow down.
I see her heave
a deep sigh.
a few yellowed leaves
of a tree nearby
fall on her head, as though
in sympathy. A strong gush of wind
comes and goes carrying
that sigh away. The sun starts setting.
In the ray of pink sun and yellowed leaves
Stands my little neighbor
Free, yet chained.
This evening again, laughter echoed
on the road outside,
and next door,
a childhood got robbed.

Red Lights – Official Trailer.
Sigourney Weaver shows up in another trailer alongside Cilian Murphy and Robert De Niro in Red Lights. Murphy and Weaver play scientists who discredit self proclaimed psychics. But, when Bobby De Niro comes into town, weirdness ensues and they begin to question their beliefs.
It basically looks like De Niro has real powers and uses them for evil to end lives. I'm sure Ben Stiller is first on his list.

I purchased this mirror for the main bathroom in my house. I decided to do away with the traditional medicine cabinet, and go with a unique, one-of-a-kind mirror. I have been very pleased with my purchase and it is the focal point in the room. I love the distressed look, and how the frame has been pieced together. Because of the piecing with teak scraps, the browns range from fairly light to the darkest of chocolates. Some triangles are smooth and others are very distressed. I didn't want a box store's wall mirror, and this mirror provides the unique focal point I wanted.
It's very good looking...just as the picture shows. The triangular pieces on the front of the frame are irregular which adds to the great looks of the frame. Since each mitered corner joint was loose and caused the frame to flex, I had to reinforce the four corner joints with glue and screws to create a solid frame.
The mirror is really great but like other reviewers have said the size is off. Mine was 26' by 20' so if you need the specific size listed, don't get it. That's the only reason I didn't give it an excellent rating because if you pay for a 28' by 22' mirror I think you should get it.
Ordered this for our great room. Love the mirror. Wish it was a little bigger, but very nice quality and color!
very oriental & original piece i used it for my bathroom yes it is nice but the size is a little bit smaller than the describe
This mirror is in our hallway and love it. The wood is a great color and the imperfections make it beautiful. Would recommend.
I didnt end up using the mirror in the bathroom I had intended it for. I put it in the entry way. It is attractive and unique. I was disappointed it didn't work for the bathroom.
I LOVE this mirror. Finally, a mirror that has high quality image and the frame is breathtaking! I love it.
This mirror is beautiful. Not perfect, many imperfections, but non the less, beautiful. I don't know who is measuring these frames but mine is not 22 x 28 as stated. Mine is 20 x 25 which definitely makes a difference on the wall. Aside from the size, it is EXACTLY what I have spent months looking for. Very, very happy with purchase:)
Would recommend this mirror for someone who appreciates unique craftsmanship.

At Havana South Restaurant and Bar, a conga line of authentic Cuban entrees parades out of the kitchen, transporting diners to the Caribbean with dishes such as picadillo a la Cubana and ropa vieja in criolle sauce. The chef draws on his culinary experience to populate the menu with true Cuban cuisine.
Meanwhile, drink enthusiasts can marvel at servers using guava, mango, and passion fruit to brew up refreshing batches of house-made mojitos. The tropical flavor carries over to the eatery's decor as well. A life-size painting of palm trees and domino players on the beach may fool diners into thinking that they're dining on the coast, whereas crimson-hued walls compliment heated salsa nights that are speckled throughout the eatery?s event schedule. Spanish music constantly pours from the speakers, inspiring guests to get up and dance, a practice encouraged by the staff.
Psychedelic lighting, clouds of fog, and thumping beats fill Laser Tag of Buford's 7,000-square-foot, two-level arena. From behind rectangular obstacles and stacks of barrels, up to 28 players dodge incoming laser blasts while firing at foes during battles that commence every 20 minutes. Throughout each bout, computerized weapons and sound system¬–equipped vests help participants stay abreast of their score, while a large scoreboard updates sideline observers and astronauts watching from space. After their game, guests can explore the facility's remaining 4,000 square feet, which house an arcade with more than 20 games and a concession stand stocked with snacks and drinks.
Diners take a whiff of grilled meats and slide into dark-wood booths upon entering Famous Joes, waiting to be greeted by the chilly handshake of a cold glass of beer and the calming glow of baseball games emanating from the 21 42-inch flat-screen TVs hung on terra-cotta-colored walls. As a karaoke singer croons on, chefs pull ribs and pork from a 12-hour marinade, toss glistening chicken wings in 16 varieties of sauce, and hand-sculpt ground beef into half-pound patties and busts of Woodrow Wilson. Behind a row of stools, bartenders pour from 10 drafts and 30 bottled beers hailing from domestic and overseas breweries.

At Jones Dance Ballroom Studios, dancers of all skill levels teach their bodies to spin, shake, and shiver with the self-expressing movements of multiple dance styles, including tango, foxtrot, salsa, samba, West Coast swing, paso doble, merengue, and beyond. Up-and-coming motion maestros can begin their journey to stardom and dancing with a pair of private lessons ($37.50 each). During both of the half-hour twinkle-toe tutorials, a skilled, supportive instructor will work one-on-one with you and carefully teach your feet how to woo the haughty ground with the stately swirls of a Viennese waltz, the dazzling blur of the quickstep, or the swiveling bobble-hips of the cha-cha. Once they've learned how to light up the dance floor with controlled-burn fires, students can showcase their sizzling steps to new dance partners during a 60-minute group class ($15; check the calendar for more information about specific classes and times).

Break the rules: become a pro at using backlight to add drama to any photo
Read any guide to successful photography and it will invariably advise you to shoot with the sun behind you to illuminate your subject from the front. This is sound advice, and of course this will often produce very good, evenly lit images. However, rules are sometimes there to be broken – what about shooting directly into the light to create dramatic backlit pictures?

CINDY UOMO: Art exhibition "Cindy Sherman: Early Works" will be unveiled at the Gucci Museo in Florence on Jan. 10, during men's international trade show Pitti Uomo. The exhibit, to run until June 9, is curated by Francesca Amfitheatrof.
"Over the years, I have greatly admired Cindy Sherman's body of work, especially the manner in which she uses feminine instruments to create her characters and her wit," said Gucci creative director Frida Giannini. "It is an honor to present this exhibition at the Gucci Museo, bringing our visitors her unique style and creativity."
Using photography as an art form, Sherman works alone, acting both as actor and director, transforming herself and portraying different characters with the use of makeup and clothes.

Should Royal Caribbean make a tweak to the itinerary of Oasis of the Seas?
That's the question the line is asking its most loyal fans this week as the much-ballyhooed vessel heads towards its fourth month in operation.
In a blog post at Royal Caribbean's website, executive Craig Milan notes the record-size ship, which sets sail from Fort Lauderdale every Saturday, normally visits St. Thomas on Tuesdays, St. Maarten on Wednesdays and Nassau, Bahamas on Fridays. But over the Christmas and New Year's holidays the line switched up the itinerary by moving the Nassau call to Sundays (making it the first port call of the voyage instead of the last).
ALSO ONLINE: Parent of Princess Cruises signs agreement for new ships
ALSO ONLINE: Former 'Love Boat' to sail around South America
ALSO ONLINE: Are sexually-themed cruises the latest industry trend?
Milan asks the Royal Caribbean fans who regularly visit the site whether they think the line should make the change permanent.
"Both versions have worked well but it would be nice to hear from you all as to if you think we should stay with the current Friday call in Nassau or the Sunday arrival," writes Milan, who is president of Royal Celebrity Tours.
Milan also notes the flow of Oasis passengers on and off the ship in Nassau and at the other ports has been going, in his words, "extremely well," as have operations at the line's new terminal in Fort Lauderdale.
At 225,000 tons, Oasis of the Seas is by far the largest cruise ship ever built, and it can carry up to 6,296 passengers -- a number so large it had raised the specter of bottlenecks at the vessel's gangways.
"We have been able to maintain our goal of getting our guests from curbside to ship (in Fort Lauderdale) in 15 minutes or less," he says. "This terminal is easily the most efficient of any within our worldwide system."
Cruise Loggers, what do you think about Oasis of the Seas' itinerary? Should it be tweaked? Let's discuss the topic in the comment area below.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Blade!
Facts about Blade
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Jack Russell Terrier Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Blade's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Blade is a VERY cute and sweet apx 1 year old boy. He is on the small side of medium, around 25-30 lbs. He is low key and loves to cuddle. He is very good with other dogs and kids, is crate trained and potty trained. He would be the perfect appartment dog or for a older person looking for a companion. He is small, low key and easy going. Blade still enjoys playing and would really do well in any situation. I can't say enough about this cute guy. Having been hit by a car, he will always have a lump on his one shoulder and could have a small limp. He has been cleared by a vet and is otherwise is great health. To begin the adoption process please visit our website and fill out an application- www.pitifulpups.com/availabledogs. You can also call 407-476-6364 for more information. Blade's adoption fee is $200.
Other Pets at Pitiful Pups
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Blade, a Orlando Labrador Retriever/Jack Russell Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Jack Russell Terrier for sale in Orlando, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Jack Russell Terrier dog from a breeder in Orlando.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Orlando already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Orlando breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Jack Russell Terrier breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Jack Russell Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Orlando paves the way for another one to be saved.

Girls Basketball: Heady helps Hillcrest storm past Shepard
By Tony Baranek firstname.lastname@example.com December 19, 2013 9:52PM
Updated: January 21, 2014 11:31AM
Sherrise Heady had a game to remember Thursday night to help Hillcrest in an 84-36 South Suburban crossover victory over Shepard.
The 5-foot-11 guard/forward hit for a trio of three-pointers and finished with 11 points.
Her big sister, Shannise Heady, to be sure, will hear about it.
"She'll tell me, 'Good game. Keep it up,' " Sherrise Heady said with a smile.
Sherrise is following in some pretty large footsteps.
Shannise Heady was a leader for a Hillcrest team in 2011-12 that advanced to the Class 3A state finals. She closed her career as a Hawk as the 2011-12 SouthtownStar Player of the Year, and is now a sophomore at Eastern Michigan.
"She is my idol," Sherrise Heady said. "I want to be just like her. It's very hard, though, following in her footsteps. Sometimes I try too hard. But I know I have to be myself. I can't be her."
Tanzania Sherrill (14 points), Nadika Jackson (14 points), Shayla Joyner (11 points, 9 rebounds) and Aliah Acker (11 points) all contributed to a balanced attack by Hillcrest (7-3, 4-0).
Shepard (2-9, 0-4) was paced by Dae Jae Williams (13 points) and Courtney Dalton (5 points, 8 rebounds).
Heady's first two long-range buckets came during a 17-0 run by the Hawks after they had fallen behind 1-0 on a free throw by Shepard's Heather Banis.
The Astros made a spirited run at the end of the first period to close to within 21-14, but a big second period by Joyner helped the Hawks begin to ease away.
The win gives the Hawks a bit of momentum going into the Hillcrest Holiday Classic, where they are seeded third behind Joliet Catholic and Bolingbrook.
"I'm ready, and I think we're going to do well and get far," Sherrill said. "I think we've been doing better than what people were expecting of us.
"It's tough because we've got a lot of seniors, and for me (as a junior) to lead is tough, but I think I've been doing a nice job at it."

Best tank available.
I just bought one of these, and by far they are the best tank available. I spoke to the manufacturer, and it is recommended to store these on a flat concrete surface. Do not store this container filled on top of a pallet, because over time the open spaces in the pallet + the pressure on the tank could cause the tank to deform. If you don't want it to have contact with the floor, they told me to just cut 2x4's to length, and just place them tight next to each other to cover the area the tank will sit on.

Well worth the money
This water tank is what is known as "Plug and Play". I received it, installed the included faucets and gaskets (2) and filled it, drained it, and refilled it. Has an inspection hatch with a vacuum valve. Plug for fill hose inlet. It is very well made. The pallet it came on is what I used as a stand for it. I highly recommend this tank.

- Additional Info
Q: Can I put this tank in-line with my house water?
A: Because your house water is pressurized and the tank is not, you cannot run water back into your house without a pump. You can, however, put your tank "end-line" using standard 3/4" male hose-thread and connecting it to the utility connection on the upper front of the tank.
Q: Will my tank freeze over?
A: It is not common for the tanks to freeze all the way through. If frozen, find water through the center cap.
Q: Should I clean my tanks before filling?
A: Tanks are sterilized prior to delivery through an extremely high-temperature molding process. Rinsing your tanks may be helpful but washing them prior to filling is not necessary. Vacuum drills are used in the manufacturing process to minimize plastic shavings inside your tanks. To remove any shavings that may have fallen in during assembly you may use a vacuum or simply fill as normal then scoop the shavings off the top. Plastic shavings are harmless and will float on top of your water. Chlorine, chlorine tablets, and other substances approved for treating water may be used upon filling your tank to kill bacteria that may have appeared during delivery.

hehe i wanna see it too i wonder if he got 100 points next mission
hehe i wanna see it too i wonder if he got 100 points next mission
The OP has an interesting idea... It seems impossible for Izumi to be revived otherwise unless the group got desperate and decided to tolerate the fact that he killed them for some firepower. I mean, we haven't even seen him use his new weapon yet.
I can see it happening.
May those who accept their fate be granted happiness; to those who defy it, glory.
That's the theory anyway.
No one else knowsright now , but dont you think if someone considered reviving Izumi either Kei or Sakurai would tell them he was the one who killed them?
Sakurai would not, me thinks, because he already tried that, and Sakata stopped him then. So, due to Cherry's respect to his mentor, he would not do that. Kei would not probably care... it is more plausible that He is the one to revive Izumy. 'In the name of justice' or smth like that.
That's the theory anyway.
Seeing as it is most likely the Catastrophe will hit before another mission, it seems like whatever happens, the Gantz team will have the ability to get points, as it would be random of Oku to give Hoi Hoi points and not lead it into something.
An alien army does seem possible as the Catastrophe then, I'm guessing (because the Oni and Nuri hunts were large, it'll be a full world sized colony) with all the teams across the world acting at the same time to stop the invasion.
Just where that will leave everyone after I dunno (if that is what Gantz was built for). Maybe everyone with 100+ points goes free whilst everyone else dies.

(ethiodized oil) Injection
A Low Viscosity Radio-Opaque Diagnostic Agent
Ethiodol, brand of ethiodized oil, is a sterile injectable radio-opaque diagnostic agent for use in hysterosalpingography and lymphography. It contains 37% iodine (475 mg/mL) organically combined with ethyl esters of the fatty acids (primarily as ethyl monoiodostearate and ethyl diiodostearate) of poppyseed oil. Stabilized with poppyseed oil, 1%. The precise structure of Ethiodol (ethiodized oil) is unknown at this time. Ethiodol (ethiodized oil) is a straw to amber colored, oily fluid, which because of simplified molecular structure, possesses a greatly reduced viscosity (1.280 specific gravity at 15° C yields viscosity of 0.5 - 1.0 poise). This high fluidity provides a new flexibility for radiographic exploration.

Does Bloomberg's app portal offer a new ecosystem for publishers to tap into - or is it just a me-too move from an institution keen to lock its customers into contracts?
At this stage it is a bit difficult to tell. The Bloomberg App Portal launched on Monday with around 45 apps developed by third parties - which can use Bloomberg data and combine it with their own in order to, as the company puts it in the modern argot, "add value".
App developers can charge a subscription, of which Bloomberg takes a cut of (you guessed it) 30 percent.
Bloomberg isn't the first financial data firm to open up as a platform - Thomson Reuters runs a similar scheme. But the opportunity to tap into the high-value customer base and financial data of the market leader should be pretty alluring for publishers.
Yet so far partners offering their apps on the portal are weighted towards the technological side rather than the publishing side.
Bloomberg's PR people provided two examples of apps on the portal at launch:
-- Stealth Analytics: An app providing fighter plane cockpit-style visualisations of trading data.
-- Social Media Indicator: A social media analytics app providing sentiment analysis data on how stocks are being referred to on social media.
It's easy to view Bloomberg's app portal as merely an attempt to keep up with the latest fashion. But Bloomberg has been talking about "open data" for a while now and it is pursuing a collaborative approach with partners.
Yet, the business priorities driving the move are more about its role as a technology company, built on selling terminals and focused on locking customers into using its services.
In that respect it has a lot of in common with Apple. The Cupertino gadget giant has shown how building an ecosystem around your core products is a hugely powerful customer retention tool - and that means the content is in many ways a secondary consideration.
Bloomberg's app portal has a similar raison d'être, especially as competitors are doing similar things. That means that while there shouldn't be anything stopping you working with Bloomberg, content is the bait to sell and retain more subscriptions, rather than the product itself.

Stock coils leak and caps fail.
These are the Newer NCY Coils that have an upgrade to wire and cap and do a good job but if you want the best upgrade to the NGK wire and cap with a NCY coil.
The newer NCY coil, wire and cap are NOT orange like all the cheapo fake ones, please do not buy on color its silly buy on what the dealer has tested and knows the product.

By Lucas Gulotta, Associate College Basketball Editor
FACTS & STATS: Site: BankUnited Center (7,200) -- Coral Gables, Florida.
Television: ESPNU. Home Record: Virginia 15-1, Miami 11-0. Away Record:
Virginia 3-5, Miami 10-1. Neutral Record: Virginia 0-1, Miami 0-2. Conference
Record: Virginia 8-4, Miami 12-0. Series Record: Miami-Florida leads, 9-5.
GAME NOTES: The Virginia Cavaliers look to end the Hurricanes' perfection as
they tangle with second-ranked Miami-Florida in an Atlantic Coast Conference
matchup at the BankUnited Center.
This will be the first meeting of the season between these conference rivals.
Miami holds a 9-5 all-time series edge versus the Cavaliers.
Jim Larranaga's Hurricanes have still yet to be defeated at home (11-0) and in
ACC play (12-0) this season. Miami survived a thriller on Sunday night,
overcoming a late four-point deficit to down Clemson, 46-44, for its 13th
consecutive victory. The usually reliable Hurricanes struggled against the
Tigers as Durand Scott and Shane Larkin combined for just 10 points on 3-of-16
shooting from the field, but Kenny Kadji came through with 12 points that
includes a late go-ahead 3-pointer.
Virginia will be looking to bounce back from a forgettable performance that
resulted with a 93-81 loss at North Carolina. Tony Bennett's Cavaliers have
been known for their superb defensive prowess that limits foes to an ACC low,
54.0 ppg. The Tar Heels had no trouble finding creases in the defense as they
connected on 49.2 percent of their shots from the field including 13-of-28
from beyond the arc. Joe Harris paced Virginia with 27 points in the setback
while Jontel Evans tallied 12 points and five assists.
Miami's road victories have not been easy to collect, but it is much more
dominant at the BankUnited Center. The Hurricanes' last four home wins have
come by an average of 24.8 point margin. Scott paces the team with 13.4 ppg,
while Larkin adds 13.2 points, 4.3 assists and 2.1 steals per outing. Kadji,
Julian Gamble, and Reggie Johnson form a tremendous frontcourt that produces
on both ends of the floor. Larranaga's squad is submitting a very balanced
effort with only 58.7 points allowed per tilt to the 69.5 it produces.
The loss to UNC snapped the Cavaliers' three-game winning streak and dropped
them to an 18-7 overall record. Harris has been stellar all season long and is
scoring a team-high 16.7 ppg and is shooting at a 49.2-percent clip from
beyond the arc (63-of-128). Akil Mitchell is next in line with 12.6 points to
go along with a team-best 8.8 rebounds per tilt. The duo's production has not
been enough to raise Virginia any higher than 10th in the ACC in scoring
offense (65.0).
The Hurricanes may have had a few uninspiring performances during their
journey outside the Sunshine State, but they should be able to regain their
footing at home. Virginia will struggle in this one as it also fails to play
up to its potential in away games.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Miami-Florida 74, Virginia 64

Green signs with Presbyterian
Kevin Green could have played any number of sports. He's that talented of an athlete.
During his high school career, he's been on the basketball and track teams — and even the golf team. But, throughout his prep career, he wanted to be a college football player.
That's why Green, a standout defensive back at High Point Central, has signed to continue his career at Presbyterian College at the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision level.
"It's been a goal of mine since my 10th-grade year to play Division I football," says Green, the son of Kevin and Sharon and brother of Sharonda, who played basketball at Appalachian State. "I accomplished it, so it feels great."
He started playing football at 6 years old when his dad, who also played football in college and was Green's first coach, signed him up. Basketball was his first love growing up. But when he came to Central, he focused more on football.
He was determined to work hard, both during the offseason to prepare himself — growing from 5-foot-4 with no muscle early on, he says, to now 5-foot-11, 180 pounds — and during the season to ready himself for games.
"In my ninth-grade year, I said that I wanted to be one of those players that coaches come talk to," he says. "You've got to do work when nobody else wants to. It's something that if you want to play in college, especially Division I, you can't stop.
"You have to prepare yourself, and you can't just do that during the season. So, going to run in the morning, then going to school and working out during school and after school — it doesn't seem difficult when you love the sport."
But during his junior year — a key year for recruiting — Green suffered an ankle injury during the third game and sat out for the rest of the season. But he continued to work, rehabbing through the winter and running track in the spring.
Then, just before his senior season, the Bison coaches needed him to switch from cornerback to safety. Green, who was a team captain, embraced the new position and played well — well enough to still earn D-I looks while coming off an injury.
"Kevin's done a great job coming in, learning our system and playing wherever we ask him to play," Central coach Wayne Jones says. "He didn't always play the position he wanted to play, but he did a good job wherever we asked him to play.
"He's just one of those kids who's worked hard, he's a good student and just a good character person. All those things paid off for him. … He cared about what he was trying to do and what he wanted to accomplish, and he worked to come back."
During his recruitment, Green got looks from schools including Appalachian State, Marist and a couple Division II schools. But he decided on Presbyterian, where his friend Ed Britt and Southwest Guilford's Ryan Bristow also play.
"It felt like where I needed to be," says Green, who wants to study engineering or business management. "They were very sincere about everything. … I'm just thankful I'm going to a great school. And I just thank God for the opportunity to play football."
