Here in Miami, Art Basel and related fairs are now far-past, full-swing. Art has been shown. Parties have been thrown. Many flights have departed, and tents will now come down. For now and a little longer we are all hung-over on Art, Basel and our drugs of choice. Mine is graphic design.

Like many new inventions, the automobile was, at first, an expensive novelty accessible only to the wealthy. When production techniques improved, the automobile became more affordable for the masses in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The ability to travel, day or night, opened up a whole new era of freedom. As automobile sales increased, as did the subsequent demand for fuel, roadside filling stations began popping up offering not only fuel but service for those with a flat tire or mechanical difficulties. Standard Oil of California was the first to open a chain of service stations on the West Coast. They probably looked something like this illustration from an...

Whitney describes the last 14 years of her life as living in a sea of beige. When she moved to Austin, Texas, from Arizona, she wanted her new home to have color and texture with more of a barn/farm/rustic look. "It's Texas Hill Country with a little bit of lodge and farmhouse thrown in for good measure," Whitney says. "I like to call it 'farmhouse chic.'" When she and her husband began the building process, she turned to Pinterest for lighting inspiration. "I found Barn Light Electric on Pinterest and fell in love. At that point, I knew I wanted barn lighting for the exterior," she notes. For the front door, Whitney... Read MorePosted by Betty+ on Jan 16, 2015 | 0 comments
We all fell in love with silver, didn't we? When those sleek, high-tech-looking finishes took over the design world, they pervaded every room of our house from stainless steel refrigerators and nickel plumbing fixtures to chrome chandeliers. In recent years, however, another shiny metal has been sneaking back into our lives. And we're happy to say that the bold, and warmer, look of brass is back! This centuries-old metal, known for its gold-like appearance, is actually a copper and zinc alloy. It conveys a sense of luxury and timelessness that many people desire for their home. Warmer than its silver cousins, brass harkens back to a simpler time when... Read MorePosted by Betty+ on Jan 14, 2015 | 1 comment
Working from home has its perks. Absolutely. If you're a blogger or a consultant or anyone who works from a home office, you probably have people tell you all the time how lucky you are. In reality, no matter what you do, the job has its downsides. You can never really escape the office because it's always right there. Our good friend Sommer Collier, food and travel blogger on A Spicy Perspective, worked out of her home for more than four years, mostly in the kitchen but also from a small office just off the busiest room in the house. Last fall, Sommer decided a change was in order. "I loved having my office so close to the kitchen, however the... Read MorePosted by Betty+ on Jan 2, 2015 | 0 comments

SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/17/13 -- Dr. John Hilinski is a double board-certified San Diego facial plastic surgeon and recognized expert in the field. Among the many cosmetic facial surgeries he performs, Dr. Hilinski also offers his patients eyelid lift treatments (blepharoplasty) to re-contour the upper and/or lower eyelids.
Dr. Hilinski says the benefits of eyelid surgery are largely related to the cosmetic enhancement of the eyes. While upper eyelid surgery can remove heavy, weighted excess skin and yield a rejuvenated look, lower eyelid surgery can tighten up and contour the lower eyelid while enhancing the general appearance of the adjacent cheek. Dr. Hilinski notes that in addition to the aesthetic benefits, there are potential functional benefits to the procedures.
According to Dr. Hilinski, candidates for eyelid surgery seek to:
- Remove excess skin
- Relieve the eye of a "heavy appearance"
- Relieve the eye of puffiness or "bags"
- Allow for an easier, cleaner application of eye shadow and liner
- Restore impaired vision
Dr. Hilinski notes that upper eyelid surgery can be done readily under local anesthesia, but patients can also be provided with an oral sedative to feel more relaxed. An upper eyelid blepharoplasty can typically be performed in about an hour in Dr. Hilinski's ambulatory surgery center.
Lower eyelid surgery can be a bit more sensitive for patients and usually requires at least IV sedation, according to Dr. Hilinski. This surgery can be performed without any external incisions and no visible scarring.
During both surgeries, any incisions that are used to remove skin and tighten the eyelid are carefully placed in the patient's natural skin creases to minimize any visible scarring. When patients opt for both upper and lower eyelid surgery, stitches are usually removed after 4-5 days and most swelling and bruising resolves in 7-10 days.
"In today's day and age, I am performing upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery more commonly than lower eyelid lifting," says Dr. Hilinski. He believes his San Diego facial plastic surgery patients choose upper eyelid surgery in large part because only local anesthesia is necessary. Nevertheless, he still sees a large number of patients who opt to undergo combined upper and lower eyelid surgical enhancement.
About John M. Hilinski, M.D.
Dr. John Hilinski is a double board-certified plastic surgeon in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Head and Neck Surgery. He earned his medical degree at Harvard Medical School and completed his residency at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Medical Center. Dr. Hilinski is extensively trained in a number of procedures including rhinoplasty and facelift surgery. He is available for interview upon request.

The Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate.
The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads.

Josh Romney would consider lieutenant-governor position
Lt. Gov. Josh Romney?
Romney, the son of former Salt Lake Olympic leader Mitt Romney, told the Deseret News on Monday that he won't run for governor himself in 2010.
But he didn't rule out serving as soon-to-be-governor Gary Herbert's No. 2.
"It's definitely not something I'm actively campaigning for," Josh Romney said. "If it were offered to me, I would give it serious consideration."
Romney, 33, said he and Herbert have already talked several times since Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. announced he would step down once the U.S. Senate confirms his appointment as ambassador to China.
The lieutenant governor's spot "didn't come up in conversations," Romney said. "There's nothing official or serious at this point. But I'm considering all options. I find it to be a great thing to give back to the community, to serve in public office."
Herbert is in Washington, D.C., much of this week, attending a U.S. Election Assistance Commission board meeting. He told the News in a recent interview that he expected to begin interviewing candidates over the next few weeks and announce his choice after Huntsman leaves office.
Just when that will be remains to be seen. The Senate has yet to schedule Huntsman's confirmation hearing. Herbert also said he's had plenty of suggestions offered about whom he should choose. Romney's name has been mentioned repeatedly in political circles.
The two know each other through Mitt Romney's unsuccessful run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008. Herbert headed up that campaign in Utah because Huntsman backed the eventual Republican nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain.
Romney, a real estate developer and the only one of the five Romney sons to live in Utah, considered his first run for political office last year when party leaders talked to him about challenging Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah.
Herbert had sought the younger Romney's endorsement for his planned 2012 run for governor. Now, because of Huntsman's midterm departure, a special election will be held in 2010.
Romney said he was not interested in running for governor in 2010. "There's no chance of that happening," he told the Deseret News. Romney said there are already a number of "great people who would do a great job" as governor looking at the race, including Herbert, University of Utah Hinckley Institute of Politics director Kirk Jowers and Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce head Lane Beattie.
He said he's not ready yet to endorse any gubernatorial candidate, even though he said Herbert is "a great leader" who shares many of the same political positions as both Romneys. "I'm on the sidelines for now," he said.
But Romney said he is prepared to be lieutenant governor — if it's offered, and if he decides it's the right move for his young family and career.
"I've had a lot of good experience, both on the campaign trail and politically," he said. "I've learned a lot. This is a position I could handle. Is it the right time for me and my family? That's a different decision."

E-readers may be fix library's seeking
Buy 'em some Kindles.
That strategy might be the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh's best approach to solving its chronic financial problems, especially if city residents reject next week's ballot question that supporters contend is critical to the 19-branch system's future.
It's on a 0.25-mill property tax hike that would generate about $3.5 million annually for the library system. What would it cost city homeowners• On a property assessed at $100,000, an extra $25 a year.
That's less than the list price of John Grisham's latest hardback, but there are two good reasons why the proposal probably is doomed.
Reason one: Most city residents are aware their taxes support the library, largely through the Allegheny Regional Asset District. Funded by a county sales tax increase in 1994, RAD was supposed to keep the library and other regional attractions permanently on solid financial footing.
That hasn't worked as well as anticipated.
Reason two: People are allowed to attend just one library board of trustees meeting each year, so the levy would amount to taxation without representation. Most Carnegie branches probably have several tomes detailing how well such situations go over with the public.
If the referendum fails, what then?
One possibility is to try other recommendations in a Carnegie task force report on library fundraising, released in January. It mentions, for example, pursuing more individual, corporate and foundation donations, and attempting to establish an endowment.
Those suggestions are so stunningly obvious as to be virtually useless. It's akin to saying you should try to raise money by trying to raise more money.
Another possibility is a more radical use of the library's RAD money. Perhaps the Carnegie should ditch many of its branches and simply purchase e-readers for the folks who no longer could visit their local libraries.
A far-fetched proposal• Not from a financial perspective.
For nearly the same $23.9 million it costs to operate the system this year, the Carnegie could purchase a $79 Amazon Kindle for nearly each of the city's 305,000 people -- even those too young to read, or those who prefer watching "Two and a Half Men" to reading "The Three Musketeers."
The bargain-end Kindles subject readers to advertisements and sponsored screensavers. But it's possible to download on them myriad classic books and pay the same amount as you would if you physically checked them out -- nothing.
People probably would have to trek to an actual library if they wanted to read Grisham for free. But the Kindles would enable the Carnegie to cut building maintenance, utility and staffing costs while maintaining free access to voluminous amounts of reading material.
It's far from a perfect solution, but so is the referendum.
Sometimes you have to think outside the book.

Vesuvio is a must-stop at Carmel-by-the-Sea
As temperatures begin to soar into numbers generally reserved for referencing very recent decades, sensible Angelenos seek cooler climes up and down the coast. One of the most popular destinations is a mere five-hour drive, the first of which is merely getting out of town: Carmel-by-the-Sea.
The city, located just south of Monterey, is home to world-class golf, art galleries and most recently, wine tasting rooms. And it's the wine, much of it grown in the nearby Santia Lucia Highlands, which has attracted an influx of younger people from San Francisco and Silicon Valley – and when they come, they want to eat well. Thus, a burgeoning food culture has begun to spring up in a town where early-bird specials had been the defining characteristic of the dining scene.
Italian food, however, still remains among the most popular options, and one of the most beloved is family-run Vesuvio. Chef Richard Pepe and his two sons share the hospitality for which Italians have become famous.
Why you should go:
The restaurant is renowned for its pizza. Sons Christian and Gian Pepe are certified pizzaioli, having trained at Verace Pizza Napoletena. And, as pizza aficionados know, Naples is the home of the brick-oven pizza.
What to order:
The menu features the best of Southern Italian cuisine. A signature feature is the Mozzarella bar, which allows diners to customize their own Caprese.
Popular dishes include Meatball Lollipops in marinara; house-made spicy sausage, with peppers in Fontina sauce; and delicious pasta dishes like Veal Osso Buco Ravioli, with mixed mushrooms and porcini cream; Lobster Ravioli Sophia Loren in a lobster-Champagne reduction; and Spinach-and-Ricotta Cannelloni in marinara with crema Parmigiana.

Brewers Retail fined $175,000 after worker dies drinking windshield washer fluid
The company that runs the Beer Store has been fined $175,000 in the death of a worker who drank windshield washer fluid mislabeled as vodka.
Brewers Retail Inc., the company that runs the Beer Store, has been fined $175,000 in the workplace death of a man who drank windshield washer fluid mislabeled as vodka.
The man, identified by the Beer Store as John Whitcombe, was an employee of Brake Mobile Wash, which had been hired to wash delivery trucks at the Beer Store's distribution centre in Brampton.
On April 8, 2012, Whitcombe and another worker found a liquor bottle filled with blue liquid, with a vodka label still attached. They both drank from the bottle, and he took it home and finished it that night.
The bottle contained methanol windshield washing fluid. Whitcombe later died of methanol poisoning. The other worker was hospitalized but survived.
The Ministry of Labour found that workers at the distribution centre regularly dispensed windshield washer fluid into empty liquor bottles, said spokesperson Matt Blajer.
Brewers Retail pleaded guilty to failing to acquaint a worker with a hazard in the handling, storage or use of a liquid chemical agent. In Tuesday's sentencing hearing, Justice of the Peace Lisa Ritchie imposed the fine and a 25 per cent victim surcharge.
Beer Store president Ted Moroz said that immediately after the death, workers were told to stop pouring windshield washer fluid into liquor bottles.
"I wouldn't say it was a practice, but we unfortunately found out it had happened in a few of our trucks," he said. "We changed it right away."
He extended his condolences to Whitcombe's family and said the Beer Store has been working with the ministry to improve standards.
"We accept the findings of the court in this matter and we will continue to more than double and triple our efforts to ensure that we have the highest possible health and safety standards in place."

About Us
Retired September 01,1947 Died August 06,1987
Ira C. Eaker was born in Field Creek, Texas, in 1896. He was appointed a second lieutenant in the Infantry Section, Officer's, Reserve Corps, and assigned to active duty with the 64th Infantry at El Paso, Texas. On Nov. 15, 1917, he was commissioned a second lieutenant of Infantry in the Regular Army.
General Eaker remained with the 64th Infantry at El Paso until March 1918, when he was placed on detached service to receive flying instruction at Austin and Kelly fields in Texas. Upon graduation the following October, he was rated a pilot and assigned to Rockwell Field, Calif.
In July 1919, he transferred to the Philippine Islands, where he served with the Second Aero Squadron at Fort Mills until September l919; with the Third Aero Squadron at Camp Stotsenburg until September 1920, and as executive officer of the Department Air Office, Department and Assistant Department Air Officer, Philippine Department, and in command of the Philippine Air Depot at Manila until September 1921.
Meanwhile, on July 1, 1920, he transferred from the Infantry to the Air Service and returned to the United States in January 1922, for duty at Mitchel Field, N.Y., where he commanded the Fifth Aero Squadron and later was post adjutant.
In June 1924, the general was named executive assistant in the Office of Air Service at Washington, D.C., and from December 1926, to May 1927, he served as a pilot of one of the planes of the Pan American Flight which made a goodwill trip around South America. He then became executive officer in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of War at Washington, D.C.
In September 1926, he was named operations and line maintenance officer at Bolling Field, Washington, D.C. While on that duty, he participated as chief pilot on the refueling endurance flight of the Army plane, "Question Mark", from Jan. 1 to 7, 1929, establishing a new world flight endurance record. In 1930, he made the first transcontinental flight with in-flight refueling.
In October 1934, General Eaker was ordered to duty at March Field, Calif., where he commanded the 34th Pursuit Squadron and later the 17th Pursuit Squadron. In the summer of 1935, he was detached for duty with the Navy and participated aboard the aircraft carrier, "Lexington", on maneuvers in Hawaii and Guam.
General Eaker entered the Air Corps Tactical School at Maxwell Field, Ala., in August 1935, and upon graduation the following June entered the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., from which he graduated in June 1937. He then became assistant chief of the Information Division in the Office of the Chief of Air Corps at Washington, D.C., and in November 1940, assumed command of the 20th Pursuit Group at Hamilton Field, Calif.
In January 1942, he was assigned to organize the VIII Bomber Command and to understudy the British system of bomber operations; then in December 1942, he assumed command of the Eighth Air Force in England. Later, he became commanding general of all U.S. Army Air Forces in the United Kingdom. In January 1944, he was named air commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Allied Air Forces, having under his command the 12th and 15th U.S. Air Forces and the British Desert and Balkan Air Forces.
On April 30, 1945, General Eaker was named deputy commander of the Army Air Forces and chief of the Air Staff. He retired Aug. 31, 1947, and was promoted to lieutenant general on the retired list June 29, 1948.

General Eaker is co-author of "This Flying Game," "Army Flyer," and "Winged Warfare." Since 1962 he has authored a weekly column, carried by more than 35 newspapers, on subjects in the national security area.
On Oct. 10, 1978, the president of the United States, authorized by act of Congress, awarded in the name of the congress, a special Congressional Gold Medal to General Eaker, for contributing immeasurably to the development of aviation and to the security of his country.
Almost 40 years after his retirement, Congress passed special legislation awarding four-star status to General Eaker, prompted by Senator Barry Goldwater and endorsed by President Ronald Reagan. On April 26, 1985, Chief of Staff General Charles Gabriel and Ruth Eaker, the general's wife, pinned on his fourth star.

Arsene Wenger has criticised referee Martin Atkinson for his performance during Arsenal's defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday, ESPN has reported.
Wenger felt that Arsenal should have been awarded a free-kick in the build-up to Chelsea's first goal after Ramires challenged Francois Coquelin, while the manager also believed the Brazilian midfielder dived to win the penalty that Frank Lampard converted to score the Blues' second goal.
In his post-match interview with the television broadcaster Ramires appeared to admit he fouled Coquelin, while Wenger claimed that the referee's inconsistent decisions cost Arsenal, although he also reserved criticism for the performance of his players.
Wenger said: "The referee gave a lot of free-kicks today, and some much less than the Coquelin one. It's frustrating. It doesn't mean we should have conceded the goal but, in the big games, these decisions have big implications."
The Frenchman also conceded that goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny could have been shown a straight red card when he was adjudged to have fouled Ramires, as even though Wenger did not believe it was a foul - he went so far as to suggest Ramires dived - he felt that once the referee has signalled for the penalty the lack of a red card was "surprising".
Arsenal now find themselves seven points adrift of the top four of the Premier League in sixth, with local rivals Tottenham Hotspur holding on to the last Champions League qualification place. Fifth-place Everton can add to the three point gap between themselves and Arsenal by beating Southampton on Monday evening.

Representative has played down rumors that his client might join Camp Nou outfit amid growing speculation that Sanchez will move from Udinese.
The agent of Villarreal's Giuseppe Rossi, Andrea Pastorello, has cast doubt over the possibility of the Italian striker joining Barcelona during this summer transfer window.Despite the Camp Nou giants having a 45 million euro war chest to improve on their squad, bringing in both Udinese's Alexis Sanchez and Rossi is not likely, according to the representative.
Barca is thought to be closing in on Sanchez, and Marca reports that Pastorello said: ''Rossi signing for Barca would be very difficult. If there is 45 million euros to sign [new players] and Alexis goes to Barca for 30 million euros then there is no money to pay for the transfer of Rossi.''
The agent insists it is up to Barcelona whether it wants to sign the American-born forward or not, adding: "If the club wants Rossi, they must prove it. But if not, nothing happens. They are free to sign whoever they want. There will be no problem, football is football.''
Pastorello concluded by saying that if a move to Catalunya does not materialize, the 24-year-old could ''wait another year with Villarreal".
The Italian, who enjoyed a superb season in La Liga with the club from El Madrigal, scoring 32 goals in all competitions, was thought to be Barca's prime transfer target, but it now appears that the club has turned attention elsewhere.

Fact: Alicia Keys debut album, Songs in A Minor, was released in June 2001. Think about that folks, Alicia Keys has only been around for seven years. While this critic sat around, wasting his life, Ms. Keys has released four albums, won eleven Grammy's, had seven number-one singles, starred in two films, written two books, and become an African Ambassador to bring AIDS awareness to the forefront of international politics. Does anyone else feel like an under-achiever?
With so many accomplishments, Keys has arrived at a point in her career where anything she releases is going to sell, regardless of its actual quality. Some artists who reach this point keep focus and deliver definitive albums. More, however, slip and release musical debaucheries, that don't vibe with their level of talent. Just think Jay's Kingdom Come if you need an example. Sadly, Alicia Keys newest effort, As I Am, is of the latter sort, and comes across as unfocused and average.
Many tracks seem downright formulaic, following the path of a slow piano intro, to a frustrating chorus, to a two-minute breakdown in which she unsuccessfully tries to go outside of her vocal range, and instead, comes across as if she's trying too hard and just yelling. "The Thing About Love" and "Where Do We Go From Here" take that same pattern. Also, while most of her songs create an image of empowerment and strength, some just seem self-serving and unoriginal; in the chorus to "Superwoman", she sings "Cause I'm a Superwoman", the chorus follows up immediately with "Yes you are…""" The special guests on the album don't really much add too much to the effort either. The John Mayer produced, "Lessons Learned" and the aforementioned "Superwoman" by Linda Perry are among the weaker tracks on the album.
However, there are some great moments on the album. "Wreckless Love", "Go Ahead", and "Teenage Love Affair" see Keys delve back into a relaxed soul-groove where she strives. "Prelude to A Kiss" isn't bad either; instead of reverting back to the yelling typical of most of the album, she instead seems to realize the value of an understated sound.
All in all, "As I Am" is an average album by a great artist. Check it out if you're a fan, but if not, you might want to wait to see how she does come next time. – Michael Rodriguez

The annual Perseid Meteor Shower is taking place this weekend, and at it's peak observers should be able to spot more than a hundred shooting stars per-hour. It's expected to be a good year for the Perseids, with the first meteors coming into view at around 10pm Saturday and Sunday, and a moon that won't rise until after 1am. The skies are expected to be clear as well. The best viewing is projected to be just before sunrise on Sunday. Look to the northeast to spot the Perseids, which have been observed by mankind for over 2,000 years, and consist of dust particles from the Comet Swift-Tuttle.

The man who killed a New Plymouth jogger could serve a longer prison sentence if a Crown appeal is successful.
Matthew Kinghorn pleaded guilty in October last year to murdering Anne Elizabeth McCullough, 45. He was sentenced to a minimum non-parole period of 13 years in jail.
McCullough, a mother of two, died of multiple injuries after Kinghorn deliberately ran her down in his car on October 20, 2012, as she jogged along a country road on the outskirts of New Plymouth.
Crown lawyer Madeleine Laracy argued yesterday in the Court of Appeal in Wellington that Justice Rodney Hansen had made legal errors during sentencing, the New Zealand Herald reported.
The Crown had argued Kinghorn had killed McCullough during a sexual attack, which would mean he would serve the maximum non-parole life sentence of 17 to 25 years.
But Justice Hansen found there was not enough evidence and gave Kinghorn 15 years as the minimum sentence of imprisonment. He deducted two years because Kinghorn had pleaded guilty and appeared to show remorse.
The Herald reported Laracy saying yesterday that Justice Hansen had made comments during sentencing agreeing with the Crown's position.
McCullough's death was therefore a "reckless killing" resulting from the attack and Kinghorn's offending had been carried out with extreme callousness and depravity.
Kinghorn's lawyer, Julian Hannam, said Hansen's sentencing decision was correct and provided evidence showing the attack on McCullough had not been sexually motivated.
The Crown's argument that Kinghorn's crime was exceptionally brutal, callous and depraved was their "least powerful" argument and he expected it would be dismissed, he said.
Hannam said it was unusual for the Crown to appeal a sentence.
"It's to make sure the family gets a good hearing, so they know everything that can be done has been done. My client understands that."
