Pleasant Grove, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/20/2014 -- CTS introduced their high quality labels as an alternative to expensive, laser engraved labels. Instead of receiving one label, CTS customers get four identical labels they can attach to their scopes. If you change the load with a laser engraved turret, it renders it useless. With four durable turret scopes, CTS provides longer lasting and more convenient products for a fraction of the price. Customers are finding this alternative to be an effective and smart choice, improving their accuracy and saving themselves money. Now, with an increasing amount of orders and demand, the company is offering their services on an international level.
For people still uncertain about converting to the affordable rifle turrets from CTS, the company assures their durability by creating a product that is capable of lasting through the impact of the outdoors. They are UV resistant and waterproof, ensuring that they will last through intensive outdoor activity. The company prides themselves on the effectiveness of their adhesive, a vital component to the durability of their product. The label won't peel off or come undone. They also have a clear laminate over the top, making them scratch proof as well. This allows the numbers and marking to stay clear, ensuring their clients always get the most accurate shot.
For clients across the world, location is no longer an issue for acquiring high quality and durable turret scopes. CTS boast easy to use online forms that allow anyone to order their scope turrets to the specifications they need. They require individuals to create an account, which allows them to save their turret specifications. Creating the correct numeric measurements for each specific scope is vital to accuracy once the turrets are attached. Their website guides users through the process, ensuring they get the best fit for their rifle. They offer guidelines and measurement tools as well. For more information about the company and their process or to order a customized scope turret, visit their website at http://customturretsystems.com/.

Putrajaya General Information
While Putrajaya may not attain the lofty standards of Oscar Niemeyer's Brasília, Malaysia's purpose-built administrative capital is a well worth a side trip from Kuala Lumpur. The bulk of the federal constitutional monarchy's government apparatus left the congestion-heavy metropolis of 7.2 million people for Putrajaya in 1999. In 2001, Putrajaya was made a Federal Territory but happily, for tourists in the area, the planned-city unfurls some memorable attractions of note. Best of all, Putrajaya is a mere 30 km from the Petronas Twin Towers and Kuala Lumpur City Centre. ... Read more »
With some 65,000 people, Putrajaya is a core component of the "New Malaysia", whose vision includes vast infrastructure improvements and colossal risk-reward knowledge economy ventures like Cyberjaya science park and the Multimedia Super Corridor. As a result, above and beyond the seat of national government, Putrajaya aims to be the heart of Malaysia's version of Silicon Valley, California. Important points of interest in Putrajaya include Melawati National Palace, Istana Darul Ehsan, Putra Mosque, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque and Seri Wawasan Bridge. Outdoor recreation comes courtesy of Putrajaya Lake and Putrajaya Wetlands Park.

While Kuala Lumpur has a vibrant late-night scene, most notably in the Golden Triangle district, viable nightlife in Putrajaya has yet to take shape. As a result, the city's reputation as a tame seat of government becomes most apparent after dark. If you want to drink and dance the night away, get your fill in KLCC.
Putrajaya has a tropical rainforest climate, with moderate to heavy rainfall and temperatures between 23°C and 33°C for the year.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Thank you again for your inputs. I am preparing an analysis that describes
tools the MPLA relies on to obstruct oppoents, such as SIE and SINFO
operations like you described, in Pointe Noire. I was able to verify the
identity of those FLEC generals killed. I hope that this analysis can
examine MPLA behavior in a way that you have consistently mentioned. I
hope the analysis reflects your descriptions.
In return, any further info you can have access to, such as assassination
projects like in Pointe Noire, or even this defense cooperation, can be
helpful to me. I can work to publish that to examine the behavior of the
MPLA, and plenty of people will then pick that analysis up to better
understand what is going on in Luanda.
Thanks again.

Transportation in Marseille
Buses are particularly useful when travelling south along the Corniche, especially the 83. In the centre, the Grand Tour bus leaves from the Vieux Port and stops at 18 tourist attractions. Buy one or two day passes onboard.
The main ranks are at the Vieux Port and the St-Charles train station. Only climb into a car with a "taxi" sign on its roof and check that the meter is working upon departure, or secure a fee.
Walking is the quickest and most picturesque way to get about for short distances. Venture from the Vieux Port to watch steep, cobbled streets and shaded squares make way for grand 19th-century avenues, bustling markets and chic shops.
Marseille's underground network, or 'Métro', is cheap and user-friendly. Two lines cover the centre, running from 5am-10.30pm daily (until 12.30am on Fri and Sat). Tickets are valid on trams and buses within a one hour period.
Rent your car
The A7, A55 and A50 autoroute might lead you into the heart of Marseille, but navigating the city centre requires some patience. The easiest place to park is at your hotel, if it has onsite parking, but there are numerous city centre car parks costing up to €2.50 per hour.
Transportation tips
The Pass Journée/3 jours gives unlimited travel in Marseille on buses, trams and the Métro for one day and three days respectively. Tickets are sold in the Métro, on buses, at tramway stations, in certain Tabacs (cafés selling tobacco) and magazine kiosks.
At the Tourist Office, you can also pick up the handy City Pass which includes free entry to museums including the Château d'If (and th boat ride to get there).

Two senior judges in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, have taken a plea agreement under which they will serve seven years in prison. The judges are "alleged to have pocketed $2.6 million in payments from juvenile detention center operators". After helping the center operators secure a county contract, according to their critics, Mark A. Ciavarella Jr. and Michael T. Conahan then proceeded to railroad hundreds of kids to the centers on petty charges to provide the operators with a clientele to serve (Philadelphia Inquirer, Legal Intelligencer, Wilkes-Barre Times-Leader and more via Instapundit)

This is the first Megalast polish I have tried. I don't know if all the polishes in the line are like this one or not.
I'm not a huge fan of the brushes in these polishes. I find them a bit mop like.
The polish itself, did not have the opacity that I would have liked. It took 3 coats to achieve a look that was not sheer. I found that this chipped fairly quickly, even though I had used both a base and a top coat. I was disappointed that it chipped so much after only about 2 days. I really like the gunmetal color of the polish.

I was talking to interior designer, Karen Vidal of Design Vidal, a few weeks back about remodeling ideas for a historical craftsman home. She is an expert at restoring historical homes and has many years experience working in design and construction. Her latest project is a charming craftsman house in Los Feliz (Los Angeles), California, that needs a handful of updates to bring it back to its original glory.
Over the next few months, we are going to document the progression of the remodel and Karen is going to be offering remodel and design tips for specific rooms in the home. Today we are sharing the before pictures for the first post in the Renovation Ideas series with Design Vidal.
LAMPS PLUS: You have designed quite a few historical and Craftsman homes in Los Angeles, but really fell in love with this Los Feliz Craftsman. What makes this home so unique and special?
KAREN VIDAL: I think I fall in love with all the homes I design! The more I see the potential - that it's a place that I can truly transform - the better. This project is that kind of project; it feels like a home from back east with funny angles, the wide front porch, and the upstairs sleeping porch. It just sucks you in with its charm.
LAMPS PLUS: What is your vision for the design of the home?
KAREN VIDAL: I see it as a family home with a farmhouse vibe. I am opening the kitchen up to the dining room and creating a counter between the two spaces so when someone is cooking they are not cut off from everything else that is happening. That's a big difference from how it was when we started.
The other radical re-do is the upstairs bathroom; I am still in the same footprint, but I have moved everything around. We built a large separate shower and am putting in a double sink. It's the only bathroom for the 3 bedrooms upstairs, so it really has to work!
Both spaces will showcase lovely tile with quite a bit of added detail - deco liners, quarter round trim - details that will give it a vintage vibe and of course amazing bathroom and kitchen lighting fixtures.
Meanwhile, in terms of function everything will be totally updated - all new plumbing valves and fixtures, lighting with lots of separate switching and dimmers, lots of outlets - so it's the best of vintage charm blended with modern functionality.
LAMPS PLUS: When remodeling Craftsman style homes, what special considerations do you make for this particular architectural style?
KAREN VIDAL: The finish choices are key: color, tile material, light fixtures, the style of moulding around doors and windows. These are the elements that are really going to establish the "Craftsman" look.
LAMPS PLUS: What is the general rule of thumb for knowing when building permits are required during a remodel?
KAREN VIDAL: Generally, in Los Angeles, you need a permit for everything that isn't just cosmetic. They have some general "remodel" permit designations if you are designing a kitchen or bathroom and only changing out finishes. More extensive work requires drawings to be submitted and reviewed in order to get the permit. The City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) website has all the information on permits. If you live outside Los Angeles, check with your local city agency regarding permits.
LAMPS PLUS: Developing a budget for a complete home remodel can seem very overwhelming. How do you approach the budgeting process?
KAREN VIDAL: Experience! We have done this so much we have it down, but there was a huge learning curve. Now we have a budget form that we have developed and we keep a running job actual so we know where we are at all times.
LAMPS PLUS: What is your advice for hiring and working with contractors?
KAREN VIDAL: Make sure you go and see finished jobs, talk to previous clients, check out their license online with the Contractor's Board, make sure you can communicate easily and share a vision - you will be working together for some time and it's always easier to work with someone you like.
Also, consider working with a designer! We are not a luxury, but a necessity! I know that I save my clients time and money by knowing what they need to provide the contractor and when. I also establish the look of the job and make sure everything is conforming during the renovation. I am able to purchase materials at a discounted price. I talk to the contractor about any issues that arise - aesthetic or budgetary.
LAMPS PLUS: Are all contractors required to have a license for their particular trade? If not, what types of construction professionals must have a license to perform their trade?
KAREN VIDAL: General contractors have a General license, bond and worker's comp. Depending on the general contractor, he may also work with subcontractors who have their own license for their trade - commonly plumbers and electricians. But the general contractor is ultimately responsible for the work of everyone on the job.
LAMPS PLUS: What is the next step in the renovation process?
KAREN VIDAL: Things will start to close up. I will finish all of my rough work, framing electrical, plumbing, and start to put up drywall. We will begin prepping the bathroom for the tile, and the cabinets will start getting fabricated.
Thanks Karen! Stay tuned for tips on remodeling the bathroom next and also be sure to check out her prior interview, Tips for Remodeling and Restoring Historical Homes with Design Vidal.
Page after page of wedding blogs and magazines across the globe feature gorgeous weddings with shabby chic touches, like pendant banners, tiny pastel accessories and paper-cut flowers. However, when it comes to our homes and businesses, currently we are crushing on a Mid-Century look a'la Mad Men. In Buenos Aires, however, the shabby chic, DIY look has never been hotter, with no shortage of cafes, restaurants and clothing and decor stores designed in this style. Below is a guide in how to achieve this eclectic look.
The key element of this look is mixing together contemporary home decor and vintage pieces in an "elegantly disheveled" way. None of the spaces appear cluttered, but if you take a closer look there are things everywhere. A tip to achieve this look is to make sure that everything is extremely organized. While there are a lot of accessories, as you can see, they are all placed with precision and spaced evenly.
Another key element of this look is scouring flea markets for the best vintage "everything" you can find. Picture frames, plates, cutlery, artwork and especially furniture can all be found with a good amount of time and effort spent at the flea market - or online thanks to sites like eBay. If the things you find have an endearing amount of wear, this only adds to the charm of the look. If you find a great piece that is a bit too tattered, remember that you can always repaint or reupholster anything as long as the bones of the piece are in good condition.
Lighting fixtures are often rustic and charming and give off a lot of light. There are no dark corners or mood lighting involved with achieving this look. Here you see vintage baskets that have been painted and strung upside down: instant chandeliers. Simple globe pendants offer a huge amount of light and don't detract from the details and accessories. Large windows let in a lot of natural light, which is important to the organic, rustic style.
Color is very important in achieving this look as well; those who are intimidated by color need not apply. Bright, bold primaries and pastels dominate, usually with a crisp white base. Feel free to mix as many colors as your heart desires, as you can see the more color, the more successful the look. Just make sure that you are within the same color temperature, don't use a maroon when a violet will serve better.
Even if you are not a DIY maven, you can easily find DIY-style accessories to complete your look. Handwritten notes for freshly baked pastries can easily be translated to the home; adding handwritten labels to storage jars in the kitchen, or cheeky quotes as wall art achieve this look. Using chalkboards and writing out notes is another way to personalize the look. Take an old frame, spray the glass with black matte spray paint and, voila, you have a repurposed chalkboard that you can use for reminders, shopping lists, to-dos and much more.
Don't be afraid to infuse this style into your life. It is very home friendly as the major characteristics of the look are rustic comfort and vintage charm, something that almost everyone can relate to on some level. And if all else fails, find some attractive Latin men and put them in vintage, eclectic aprons and you're good to go!

Getting away from it all doesn't mean you have to leave home, especially if you want to create beach inspired rooms. Too often people are far too literal when designing with a theme in mind, so please don't toss a few seahorse prints on the mantle and think you have created a beachside getaway... yikes. I was totally enraptured with the beach photographs by Cheryl Maeder, who captures the essence of what a day at the beach is really about: color, shapes and mood. I thought it would be an interesting idea to find rooms that mirror her images.
This dining room captures the serene and uncluttered feeling from the beach scene above, pale blues and pale sandy colors keep it simple. Matchstick window treatments, a natural wood table and wicker style parsons dining room chairs maintain a link to nature. Genius how the drum ceiling light is in a pale, sky blue.
Here is a living room that combines the sandy tones of the beach with the pale blues of the sky. Notice how the designer has mixed up the use of a hanging curtain at the French door and uses a contrasting roman shade on the double-hung window? Don't be afraid to add variety. Cute tripod table lamp!
A serene corner of this sunroom captures the feel of a deserted, pale and sandy beach.
This bedroom also echoes the serenity of a relaxing and pristine beach. Remember to keep the color scheme watered-down, just shy of pastel. Even a remote control ceiling fan has an easy-going, island feel.
The bold colors of this image feels more like an island beach, but can easily be adapted to interior design without looking too Caribbean-kitsch.
Look Ma, no papier mache birds! Bold ocean colors without looking cheesy. No doubt that after a trip to the flea market to find the right chest or buffet, coupled with a few coats of paint could result in something similar.
Seriously? The bold blue desk is so chic. I love this home office. Please try this at home!
This coastal living room screams beach. Am I insane, but I actually think this fish tank works in the room, and I never think they do. The nod to the great outdoors is also accomplished by using the large-scale, lantern-style ceiling light.
A tale of two blues. Does this capture the photograph or what? Simple, beachy and yet the space remains elegant.
This final image captures a busy day at the beach, which from a distance is a cacophony of color dotting the landscape. Not serene, but joyful.
The summer getaway bunkhouse captures the mood of the busy beach. Vibrant color and pattern punctuate the simple pale cream walls and watery blue of the floor. The tongue and groove wood, bunk beds and retro metal ceiling fan are a nod to lazy summer days and summer camp. Summer escapes, why must they ever end?

Who needs 50 when the perfect shade is all you need. Do you like my literary reference? I always knew that fashion could influence home interiors, but it's refreshing that books can do the same. Shades of grey are the new neutral and allow you to do so much with accent colors or you can simply leave it as a soothing monochromatic backdrop in your calming abode. Speaking of backdrop, the first way to incorporate grey into your home is with paint. Look how the simple act of painting the back wall of this bookshelf helps to make the decorative objects pop. It's so much more chic than white or cream.
This study is a washed-down version of grey. The pale wood tones and cream marry harmoniously with the pale grey linen sofa and chalky grey table lamp. This room is a perfect example to show how grey has become a standard neutral color in interior furnishings and home decor.
Table lamps need not always be chrome or ceramic. This grey leather buffet lamp is amazingly beautiful. It's sleek and modern and the nickel finish makes the simple design shine.
Grey or monochromatic artwork can also be a way to make a pale grey room more interesting and give it motion. Photographs can work wonders. This large scale image of horses balances the simple deco design scheme. It also makes the Jean Harlow inspired room totally up-to-date.
What about a bold but still subtle wallpaper? Although this leaf pattern wallpaper is busy in design, the soothing grey color turns it into a simple and almost monochromatic backdrop for the series of drawings.
Could these simple grey traditional dining chairs be more understated? Pale grey is the order of the day throughout this room. From the simple paint to the charcoal grey lamp shades.The unadorned windows let in light to counter the deeper tones.
This Belgian still life is harmony and simplicity at its best. Could anything ever go wrong in a room like this?
Lamp shades can change the look of any room. This classic trellis pattern would look great on white or clear Lucite lamps.
Grey leather? Why not. Consider the glamour grey can add when paired with chrome, white lacquer and Lucite.
Of course my literary referenced post must end with a luxurious bedroom shot, n'est pas? While I have yet to read the 50 Shades of Grey, based on what I have heard, I throught it was a fitting end.

Who says the best designs require an unlimited budget? Some of my favorite looks are actually DIY design ideas! It's all about rolling up your sleeves, getting creative, and finding the hidden potential in an old piece. Not sure where to begin? Try decoupage!
I love decoupage because it allows me to bring in so much self expressionism and personality! Whether you're using fabulous wallpapers, old playing cards, or even sheets of music, you can showcase your vibe and what matters to you most with the material you choose to cover your furniture. Best of all, it's eco-friendly, budget friendly DIY design, and makes something old new again.
Do you love a wild wallpaper print but don't feel ready to commit to using it on an entire wall? Incorporate the look with decoupage. All you need is white glue or decoupage medium (available at any craft store) and a paint brush or cotton swabs. Tips: start from the center and work out, pressing out any wrinkles or bubbles as you go.
Are you bored with your old lamps, candlesticks, or door knobs? Try having them plated in nickel or white brass for a sleek and chic makeover. I especially love white brass and have been using it in clients' homes for a while now. It's a great middle ground between gold and silver and having old pieces dipped in white brass will create a major transformation for little money. White brass works especially well in a bathroom, but to really reinvent your look throughout your home, try plating your hinges and hardware, too!
Lighting illuminates your home, but it can also illuminate your mood. Covering an old lampshade in a fresh, new fabric is another one of my favorite DIY design ideas. Find a swatch of fabric that puts a smile on your face or spices up your interior and recover an existing shade with a little patience and a good old fashioned glue gun. Or, skip the hard labor entirely and just design your own art shade light.
Lamps Plus custom art shades are not only made just for you, but you can also change the colors in any lamp shade pattern to perfectly match your personal decor. I promise you'll love unleashing your inner interior designer and letting your imagination fly with custom shades of all shapes, sizes, and colors. DIY design ideas should ideally incorporate an element of fun and these custom shades most definitely deliver.

We were so excited to interview Jessica of Black.White.Yellow. Jessica is no ordinary design blogger, she is also an architect! Therefore, she has a unique point of view and as you can see, she is inspired by black, white, and yellow hues.
LAMPS PLUS: What was the inspiration behind your blog, Black.White.Yellow?
JESSICA: I started {Black.White.Yellow} in 2007 when there was far fewer design blogs, no Pinterest, and it was more challenging to share and find inspiration. I wanted a place to share my projects and designs as well as things that I find inspiring.
LAMPS PLUS: What makes you love the hues black, white, and yellow so much?
JESSICA: I have ALWAYS loved the crisp contrast of black and white. The combination is so modern and clean. One day it occurred to me how often the color yellow appeared in images and designs that I liked, almost always in small doses and in combination with black and white. I love a bright pop of color to add a focal point to a clean black and white palette.
LAMPS PLUS: Being an architect, how do you differentiate your content compared to other design blogs?
JESSICA: I try to include inspiration from all sectors of design: architecture, interiors, art, fashion, and nature. I honestly don't intentionally make an attempt to distinguish the content of my blog, but we all have our unique perspective and put our own spin on things.
LAMPS PLUS: You went to school in New Orleans, but now live in Los Angeles. What do you love most about Southern California architecture and design?
JESSICA: I absolutely love the indoor/outdoor living aspect of Los Angeles.
LAMPS PLUS: What is your favorite home in Los Angeles?
JESSICA: One of my favorites is definitely the Stahl House, or Case Study House #22, designed by Pierre Koenig. It is such a perfect example of minimalist, modern architecture so perfectly suited for LA.
LAMPS PLUS: What is one trend that you wish would go away and one trend that you would like to last forever?
JESSICA: I LOVE real flowers and try to have fresh flowers in my house as often as possible. Floral inspired graphics are good, but generally speaking I'm not a fan of floral prints that are popular right now.
I have really embraced this neon pink trend and I kind of really don't want it to go away! It looks good with black, white, and yellow too!
LAMPS PLUS: What are 3 tips for making your house a home?
LAMPS PLUS: How do you create dramatic lighting in a home?
JESSICA: It's important to strategically place lighting throughout your home and make sure it's the right intensity for the area.
LAMPS PLUS: What are your favorite architectural light fixtures from Lamps Plus?
Jonathan Adler Black and Brass Antwerp Floor Lamp
I love the lines and shapes of this lamp, so modern yet timeless.
Jonathan Adler Meurice Collection 30-Light Nickel Chandelier
I really love a modern take on Hollywood Regency, this chandelier would look good in so many rooms.
LBL Isla Clear with Satin Nickel Pendant Light
I also love clean and simple designs. Several of these pendant lamps would look great hanging together.
Thanks Jessica!

Many people who have not traveled to South America do not know what to expect when they arrive in Buenos Aires. The massive city has an immensely European feel and an incredible energy. Many say it is the New York or Paris of South America. It is a stunning city, made only more so by the beautifully maintained historic architecture and interior home decor. A great number of buildings have been preserved, restored and repurposed which adds to the charm of Buenos Aires and gives us glimpse back in time to the origins of this metropolitan city. There are so many great design styles that make up the city's diverse style. Play close attention to the indoor wall lights and other lighting fixtures as a clue to the design style of the various historical buildings in the city.
The most formative years of construction in Buenos Aires were between the 1880s and 1920s, when many immigrants were coming to live in this newly established, wealthy and rapidly growing city. Three dominant architectural styles emerged during this time: Neoclassical, Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Each style is clearly depicted throughout the construction, iron work and detailing of the buildings. These architectural styles reflect the utopian ambitions of the designers as well as their immigrant heritage. They now serve as a marker of the thriving, cultural melting pot that was and still is Buenos Aires.
Neoclassical architecture is very hard to miss as you wander the streets of Buenos Aires. With strong Italian and French influences, neoclassical construction is very dominant throughout the city. Classical Greek architectural markers are strewn across these buildings: think columns, goddesses and classical ornamental detailing such as laurels, wreaths and cartouches. From large-scale government buildings to neighborhood homes, you can still see many well maintained examples of this impressive architectural style.
1. Imperial Iris Bookends 2. Mary McDonald Josephine Brass Crystal Black Shade Table Lamp 3. Murray Feiss Bellini Collection Wall Sconce 4. Carving with Gold Paint Four Panel Screen Room Divider
Art Nouveau was prominent in all major cities at the turn of the century, including Buenos Aires. Curving, asymmetrical lines, feminine figures and nature inspired motifs dominated this style, a rejection of the rigidity of the neoclassical aesthetic. There are some beautiful examples of art nouveau construction across the city. From designs imprinted into the facade of a building to the intricate ironwork, this immensely detailed architectural style remains beautifully displayed throughout Buenos Aires.
1. Metal 3-Bud Vase Holder 2. Flower Flute Double Necked Accent Lamp 3. Metropolitan Amber Murano Glass Wall Sconce 4. Momeni Nouveau Area Rug
Art Deco was an extremely popular architectural style in Buenos Aires, as its world debut in France correlated with the construction boom in Buenos Aires. All the aesthetic signifiers of the art deco period are beautifully preserved in the architecture in Buenos Aires such as intricate geometric shapes, hard running lines and influences from archeological discoveries of Ancient Egyptian style and design. Can you believe that you can even see examples of Art Deco styling in ceiling fans with lights (see below).
1. Bronze Finish Fan Fire Screen 2. Period Arts Paris Bronze Ceiling Fan with Light Kit 3. Kathy Ireland Espresso Deco Trophy Floor Lamp 4. Set of Two Art Deco Lady Candleholders
One of my favorite summer destinations is the Hamptons. The eastern tip of Long Island is home to an extremely wide array of diversions from the beach and fishing to sailing and antiquing. While homes in the Hamptons can range from traditional colonial and farmhouse to sleek modern, they all have one thing in common, comfort and ease with a sophisticated beach feel. Think white slipcovers, nautical blues and many shingled houses. Natural fabrics and fibers rule design and a classic old school house and lighting is the norm. Getting the quintessential "Hamptons Look" is easier than you think and here are some Hamptons eye candy to get you geared up for summer.
Blue stone pools sunk into green grass lawns... simple and elegant.
Don't forget clean and tall hedges.
Pool houses as big as normal homes!
Busy New Yorkers finally get to slow down at the beach and love to entertain outdoors not only by the pool, but on porches and terraces as well. How great are oversized outdoor hanging lights? The overall design doesn't try too hard and for that reason it's timeless.
Simple and natural furniture equates to an unfussy lunch on the porch.
This outdoor room is as sumptuous as indoors. Naturally the fireplace makes it cozy for night, but outdoor ceiling fans make an outdoor area cool and comfortable for a hot and sunny afternoon.
The historic Maidstone Arms Inn, East Hampton.
The American Hotel, Sag Harbor.
Filled with nautical accessories, this casual Hamptons room is the epitome of summer.
I love this living room. It's beautiful, but not intimidating. The walls are a simple white, which allow the other colors to pop.
Here is another detail of the room.
Even restaurants take advantage of the beach environment, but retain an air of style. The decorative lighting fixtures almost look like fishing nets without being too literal.
This hallway is clearly inspired by the sand. The runners and wallpaper have a decidedly beach feel. Traditional wall scones are placed high on the wall, which is very smart in such a narrow space - no bumping heads! Again, crisp white paint is all that's needed for the woodwork.
Easy breezy slipcovers.
A modern country bedroom.
Don't neglect the summer guest room. Keep the look and color scheme coherent. Welcoming bedding, flowers, books and a reading lamp are basic.
The Hamptons bathroom is chic in its simplicity. You will never go wrong with all white.

Modern monochromatic rooms don't need to be cold and sterile. I think this decorative play between an older room and modern furnishings is beautiful. One way this type of room stays comfortable is that it is filled with soft furnishings and curved lines. Avoiding sharp corners and edges makes a room soothing and feminine. The color scheme makes it more masculine and zen-like. While we can help you achieve a similar look, naturally, it's your job to find the right room!
This is a similar room, with some variation. The room has a much more ornate ceiling which makes the contrast between the room and furnishings even more noticeable. One way you can "cheat" this look would be to have ornate and very large chandeliers in lieu of an ornate ceiling.
Both rooms use a large scale chrome floor lamp. Having chrome lighting offsets the plush furnishings and flooring. A nice contrast, don't you think? Also, it mimics the lines of the curved seating.
Both rooms also have a mid-century influenced, white round tables. Whether they are dining or side tables, they reinforce the overall design.
This white swivel chair envelopes you like a space-age wing back chair. The timeless Mid-Century design is very "of the moment."
This is a more basic white slipper chair. It's not as stylized as the swivel chair above, but does replicate and is reminiscent of the room above.
A wonderful and inexpensive way to fill a space along these monochromatic rooms is through the use and placement of small round tables and ottomans.
There are ways in which you can infuse modern white elements in your home assuming you don't want to commit to an entire room like the one above. What about white kitchen bar stools?
Or, how about updating your ceiling with modern white ceiling fans with lights?
Regardless of how you go about doing it, the modern white room can still be a place of rest and relaxation.

Steve Jones of bettershelter is a well known house flipper in Los Angeles. He finds a house that is a "hot mess" (as he calls it) and completely rehabs the home while staying on a tight budget. His method for investing in homes is simple - buy it for a good price, renovate it on a budget, and sell it for a resonable price. As long as he can keep the cost down on all levels of the project, everyone wins (his design team and the future buyer).
Steve has developed a bettershelter look over the years and many potential buyers stalk his properties that most often end up in a bidding war. Keep reading for inside tips from the designer himself...
LAMPS PLUS: How would you define your style in 3 words?
STEVE JONES: Modern Vintage Surf
LAMPS PLUS: You get a lot of flack for being a house flipper in a down market. However, your renovation and design expertise actually helps the local community.
STEVE JONES: We buy many homes that would not qualify for a typical home mortgage because they are in such terrible shape. Our homes improve communities and neighborhoods and nearby home prices. Who would not want that? We try to preserve the authenticity and integrity of the homes that we renovate; we strive to fit in rather than stand out. McMansions these are not!
LAMPS PLUS: Many of your homes utilize wall light fixtures and chandeliers versus recessed lights as the primary light source. Why do you prefer to use a more focused light versus overall lighting?
STEVE JONES: I like indirect lighting as opposed to recessed can lights; the light is much more flattering on a person's face. I also like dimmers for the same reason.
LAMPS PLUS: You have a fantastic outdoor area for your own home. What are 3 basic tips for outdoor lighting?
STEVE JONES: I use old school colored bulbs - I prefer blue and green bulbs. I like to project the light up through the trees and branches; the effect is magical. I use solar light stakes for my pathways; they are easy and effective.
LAMPS PLUS: What is on your current Lamps Plus wish list?

This lightweight primer has a silky texture just like most foundation primers. But this goes the extra mile by offering skin a good range of beneficial ingredients, making it more advantageous if you prefer to prep your skin with a product labeled "primer" instead of one labeled "serum." In truth, any well-formulated serum does double-duty as a primer, but perhaps the serum you prefer has a texture that doesn't pair well with your foundation. In that case, a primer like this is worth a look, especially if you have normal to oily or combination skin.
This does a very good job of smoothing the skin's texture while slightly filling in large pores and leaving a soft, slightly absorbent matte finish that works (for a couple hours at least) to keep excess shine at bay. In terms of filling in large pores, the effect is minor but noticeable, and of course, it's temporary, lasting a few hours or less depending on how oily your skin is and the type of foundation you apply after this primer.
One last attribute of this primer is that it's fragrance-free. It contains many of the same great anti-aging ingredients Lauder includes in their serums, but most of their serums contain fragrance, which isn't helpful for anyone's skin.
Water, Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Polysilicone-11, Silica Dimethicone Silylate, Sucrose, Isopentyldiol, Hypnea Muciforms (Algae) Extract, Poria Cocos Sclerotium Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract, Scutellaria Baicelensis Root Extract, Laminaria Saccharina Extract, Morus Bombycis (Mulberry) Root Extract, Algae Extract, Caffeine, Amorphophallus Konjac Root Powder, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Polysorbate 20, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Saccharide Isomerate, Laureth-7, Sodium Hyaluronate, Stearyl Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Polyethylene, Isododecane, Acrylates/Ethyl hexyl Acrylate Copolymer, Laureth-21, Caprylyl Glycol, Tocopherol Acetate, Magnesium Myristate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Hexylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol May Contain: Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Bismuth Oxychloride, Iron Oxides
From its humble but attention-getting beginning in 1946, Estee Lauder has grown to become a multibillion-dollar company whose products are sold all over the world and advertised in just about every fashion and women's lifestyle magazine you can think of. Their product assortment is mind-boggling and would be much more frustrating to wade through if their tester units weren't so well-organized and their salespeople so well-trained. (Although most of what they talk about is claim-driven and not worth paying much attention to, they do know their way around the huge assembly of products.)
We suppose the biggest compliment We can pay to the venerable Estee Lauder line is that their state-of-the-art moisturizers and serums have had a hand in redefining how we evaluate products. They (and some Lauder-owned companies, notably Clinique) are so far ahead of their department-store competition in these two areas that they alone have been consistently raising the bar as new research comes to light. In fact, we are confident telling anyone who asks me where to find the best moisturizers in the department store to sail right past Lancome, Chanel, Clarins, Shiseido, and Elizabeth Arden (among others) and park themselves in front of the Lauder counter (or a Lauder-owned line specializing in skin care such as Clinique—definitely not Origins, but you have to read about Origins to see why). We don't agree with most of the claims Lauder makes for their products and the fragrance is often intrusive, but when it comes to formulary excellence culminating in products that give skin what it needs to function optimally, they are tough to beat.
Despite Lauder's formulary innovations, they're not immune to problem products. Some of their cleansers contain irritating ingredients, jar packaging is prevalent, and their sole product for acne isn't going to help anyone's blemishes improve (actually, Estee Lauder is not the line to shop if managing acne is your concern). The company has also taken a somewhat "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" approach, much like the many skin-care companies with cosmetic products targeted at women considering cosmetic corrective procedures. Some of the claims (and statistics) about what their skin-care alternatives (to these procedures) can accomplish still stretch the boundaries of what's possible, but most of them have impressive ingredients that benefit skin. They just can't change skin in the same effective way a cosmetic corrective procedure can.
There are more reasons than ever to consider Estee Lauder. Their products (surprisingly) don't address every skin-care need or concern, but few lines in this book received so many Paula's Pick ratings, and congratulations are due for developing products that, claims aside, keep Lauder on the cutting edge of a very competitive industry. And, by the way, all of this praise is coming from the standpoint that Lauder was resolutely unhelpful in sending us any information for this book.

Although Estee Lauder has made some impressive strides with its skin-care formulations, their makeup collection has become a frustrating mixed bag. We were genuinely surprised at how many average makeup items have recently appeared. Of course, there have also been some improvements, most notably in the foundation, eyeshadow, and lipstick categories. But for such an established, worldwide brand to not have more to extol is almost embarrassing. That attitude of bigger and better things is there in the descriptions, but the products tell a different story.
The most frustrating element by far is the number of foundations with sunscreen that either lack essential UVA-protecting ingredients or carry an SPF rating that is below standard. In contrast, the sunscreens in Lauder's skin-care lineup are almost all top-notch. Even more perplexing is that Lauder's sister company Clinique really has its act together when it comes to foundations with UVA-protecting ingredients, and they feature a lower price point for superior products.
Despite the shortcomings, many women will continue to shop for makeup at their local Lauder counter, and there is still reason to do that—just not with the same blanket sense of confidence you may have had in the past. This is an exhaustive makeup line, with seemingly endless choices. We like that Lauder's makeup tester units are much more user-friendly, particularly for foundations, powders, and concealers. Their sales staff is more enthusiastic and present (often to the point of hovering) than the staff of many competing lines, but also quite helpful and up-to-date on product comings and goings. We feel strongly that you won't be disappointed with any of the Lauder makeup rated Paula's Picks below. Without question, those products are shining examples that prove Lauder has the capability to elevate the current state-of-the-art, raising the bar for their competitors. If only such innovation were evident in the entire line, there would be few reasons to shop elsewhere, save for the prices. As is, and more than ever, it pays to be a savvy consumer when you're about to navigate the cosmetics department.
I've used this product since it was introduced. It is a great product, but too pricey for my budget (I think I'll give NYX's primer a try). The PC review is on point, just don't apply too much or you will get residue balls on your face also, wait about a minute before applying foundation. I have oily skin and it stands up to the Texas heat with a light dusting of powder after by foundation. Sometimes I mix in a little of PC's SunCare Non Greasy Sunscreen SPF 50 into my primer.

The Plaza in Evergreen Park got its start in 1952 as the Evergreen Plaza Shopping Center. | File photo

They should turn the Plaza shopping mall in Evergreen Park into the new casino for the Southland. How about that?
Rick from Evergreen Park
Can someone explain to me the logic behind the U.S. Postal Service being subject to congressional control while at the same time it is an independent agency that receives no funds from the government? It's a recipe for failure. Let the post office operate like a business in the 21st century.
It's the modern definition of being between a rock and a hard place. You are in retirement. Your ability to enhance your annual income has all but faded away. Your health is getting poorer. They've upped your property taxes again and tell you about all the unfunded pension liabilities that have to be paid though property taxes. You lost the equity in your house. You can't sell it even at the depressed price. The politicians know they have you where they want you, and you can't do a thing about it.
Maybe if the Illinois politicians were actually concerned with real business and running the state properly, then we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. This state's credit rating is ranked lower than Mississippi and Alabama. I think we are the laughingstock of the United States. Instead of trying to get our budget in order and running things right, it seems like Gov. Pat Quinn and Congress are worried about gay marriage and giving driver's licenses to criminals. I think our congresspeople and governor are morons.
Has any one noticed the eyesores that are left behind when the satellite dishes are no longer in use? There should be a policy to have these eyesores removed or turned back in. Why can't the companies regulate this situation? It's a shame to see so many dishes on one building and there's only one in use.

To Kim from Park Forest: Some people see the need to send school supplies to Niger because the kids there don't have access to them. There is no doubt in my mind that Native American kids are not getting what they need either. I think in America our government is not held accountable for the money supposedly allocated to provide school supplies and an education for all American schoolchildren. I applaud individuals that choose to help those in need wherever they may be. If our elected officials would follow their lead, the U.S. financial picture would be much brighter.
MJ from Worth
When we watch WGN-TV (Channel 9) weatherman Tom Skilling, we notice he repeats the forecast at least four times during his airtime. Is this really necessary? He shows way too much unneeded jargon in a short time. His time-elapsed maps cover 48 hours in two seconds. How are we supposed to comprehend that? Please, Tom, just tell us the forecast once and slow the time-elapsed maps down so they mean something.
Regarding the 80th Avenue train station: I think the Tinley Park powers that be finally got what they wanted. It's a pizza place serving the commuters coffee in the morning. Congratulations.

My aunt was my dad's executor of estate. When he died she sold everything and left the state of Illinois.
Barb from Bridgeview
Around the world in places like Egypt and Tunisia, people are dying, fighting for freedom from government rule limiting their freedom of choice and thought. Here in the United States, I think we're giving up our freedom of thought, speech and choice to our corrupt government. Our ancestors are rolling in their graves.
Why is the pope always in the news? As far as I know, he is a leader of a billion religious fanatics, not based on reality. Catholicism is not the only religion in the world, so why is he so prominent? Once again, you do not need a make-believe deity to be a moral person. I think religion has been a major cause of hate and war through the centuries.
Willow Springs
Please give me one specific example of how President Obama does not follow the Constitution. I bet you can't. There are so many ridiculous comments like this without any facts to back it up. Enough with the nonsense! Start worrying about all the cuts the Republican Party want to make to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and all other programs that help the working class.
There are fresh Chicago police desk jockeys who are back out on the streets. I think all that will come from that is more idling squad cars and an increase of doughnut and coffee sales.
Ted from Frankfort
I want U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius to exempt me from Obamacare. From what I've seen, unions and politically connected folks and corporations are applying for wavers. I want that privilege too. Since it seems like the government wants to use Medicare money to pay for Obamacare, then they owe me.
Regarding Hollywood Casino's Reve nightclub: How in the world did we manage to exist without this fine establishment up until now? Now, as marketing manager Jill Green explains, we have a place with a chilled-out vibe where, not only are you welcomed in a black bra and/or bikini, but "you don't have to wear a bra at all." Hopefully we will allow equality for the sexes and encourage men to come pantless. And some would term this "dressing to impress"?

Trout Fishing Regulation Changes Meeting
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will hold a public meeting to take comments on changes being considered to the trout fishing regulations for the Guadalupe River below Canyon Lake Dam.
When |
Oct 22, 2013 from 07:00 PM to 08:00 PM |
Where | McKenna Events Center, Meeting Room A; 801 West San Antonio Street, New Braunfels, TX 78130 |
Contact Name | Marcos De Jesús |
Contact Email | email@example.com |
TPWD is considering changing the regulations in the section of the Guadalupe River extending upstream from the easternmost F.M. 306 bridge crossing to a point 800 yards below the Canyon Lake dam. Harvest regulations would be changed to a 12- to 18-inch slot length limit (only trout smaller than 12 inches or 18 inches and longer may be harvested). Anglers would be allowed to harvest five trout, but only one trout 18 inches or longer could be harvested per day.

Seller is identifying it as a 1920's walnut side board. It's been painted (badly, I might add) I think it might have potential refurbished back to it's original wood.
What do you think? I think it's probably a good deal (it will be for resale) the seller is asking $100 for it, but would probably sell it for $75, $80. IF it's solid walnut, how would I tell with the paint over it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
boy...that's a mess! I'd offer him $25 and see what happens. I don't think it's walnut....that style was most often a mix of wood and veneer. It would sure be improved by stripping, but that would be an awful job! Look on the inside of the drawers and bottoms of the edges of the drawers wehre maybe it has worn. Learn to recognoze the grain of walnut....an old geezer pointed out to me years ago how to recognise walnut....and I have never made a mistake since!....he used to take a coin and scratch off a bit of paint on a drawer top.... Linda C |
And I think the seller is right on about the age of the piece..... But I don't think it's walnut....just perhaps it was walnut color under the paint. I once bought a piece as "walnut" because it had a stencil of the word walnut on the back.....stripped the paint off and found bass wood or some other cheap stuff. The stencil meant it had been stained a walnut color.! Then I learned to look at the wood and see for myself. Linda C |
I like the piece, like the lines and no doubt it would look FAR better stripped. But.....BTDT too many times to count and it is a bear of a job because that white paint really wants to settle permanently into the grain. I agree with Linda about the price but even at $25 the time you put into stripping will probably make you bang your head against the wall! Here's how I look at it - if I loved it and wanted it in MY home, I'd consider it a labor of love. But as a money making proposition, no way. |
Oh God, did they ever ruin that piece. I'd also guess that at least part of it is veneer. That was typical. You can find a decent surface under veneer (and I doubt you can successfully get that paint off the veneered part without ruining it) but don't expect the wood type of the top to necessarily match the front or legs. Because the solid parts will be a different wood than the body of the veneered parts. And yes............white paint is hard to completely remove. Agreed also that I wouldn't venture much more than twenty or thirty dollars on it, if I even wanted to invest time in making it presentable. Prolly the best you'll come up with is sanding off the globs of paint, repainting it and turning a fine old piece into more 'shabby chic'. What a shame. |

What a mess! It's probably one of the 1920s cheap veneer things. painted because it was in bad condition, and can't be stripped. I wouldn't touch it for $100 ... |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Thu, Feb 11, 10 at 17:04
Rhonda, I wouldn't pay more than $60 for the piece. I have my limits as i'm sure you do, and w/re-sale pieces usually triple the price. I think I would paint/antique glaze rather than bring it back to it's original condition, but that's just me. ;o) |
- Posted by someone2010 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 11, 10 at 20:52
You might check the type of wood by removing the drawers and looking at the inside with a flashlight. |
- Posted by peachydeva (My Page) on Thu, Feb 11, 10 at 21:28
I would not mess with this piece, period. It is not that cool not matter what it's made of. jmo, Di |
Passing on it. She could not confirm what the wood was like before she painted it. and It had actually been painted tan before it turned white. And you are right, it's really nothing special. I guess I was attracted to the possibility of it being a nice wood underneath. |
It is a 1920's sideboard and if I had to guess I would agree that it is Walnut under that paint. The drawer faces top and sides should be a straight cut Walnut veneer and the two raised pieces on the doors should be either a burled Walnut or a birds eye maple veneer. How do I know this ? I've seen this style piece come through my shop year after year . Is it possible that there is no Walnut on there at all , yes it's possible but very unlikely. This is not a job for the unmotivated..... There's a ton of hours involved and that's if it were being stripped and refinished in my shop.For a hobbyist , you will not have any fun with this piece . I would stick to the under $100 price range , $50 or less would be great . |

From the time of Heraclitus' saying, 'The only thing constant is change itself', we have sought to make sense of our changing world. It can be argued that architecture in both the academic and professional realms is experiencing pressures as never before, and is shifting due to multiple factors. These forces include globalisation, the expanding roles of technology, rapid urbanization, new energy policies, and regulatory agencies, among many others. What are the forces for change being exerted on our academic institutions and where do they come from? Are we still teaching in a way that is relevant to the contemporary practice of architecture, or perhaps we wish that practice would change?
The relationship between schools and the profession can be very permeable and often imprecise. Each informs the other, at times leading to greater relevance, at other times leaving disconcerting gaps. What role should schools and academics play in the face of our changing world? Will we be leaders or followers? The 2012 ACSA International Conference will focus on CHANGE, and will explore these issues in relation to seven themes, Civic Engagement, Academia, Practice, Technology, Cities, Globalization, Sustainability and one flexible open category.

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 Evinrude!
Facts about Evinrude
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Evinrude's Info...
I am up to date with shots.
Evinrude,( E v v y for short), is so named because she purrs like an outboard motor; loud and long! She is about 8-9 weeks old, has had her 1st FVRCP vaccine, tested negative for all parasites, FIV, and FeLV. She has lots of energy and plays all day long. She enjoys playing with toys, but loves running her foster brothers ragged. Please come to meet her!
Though it is not required, adopting TWO kittens, or mother and a kitten, is STRONGLY recommended.The only time they are not with one, or more other littermate(s) is when they are separated for a photo session. Cats and kittens are much happier when they have a feline pal to play and cuddle with when the human family members are not around.
Other Pets at The Humane Association of Northern Kentucky Shelters
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Evinrude, a Florence Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Florence, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Florence.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Florence 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 Florence 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Florence paves the way for another one to be saved.

On my 2d visit to this eatery, I indulged in their fabulous hushpuppies...better than any I've eaten in their home South. Unfortunately 9/28/13 was their last day.
Such a nice surprise. I had the smoked chicken sandwich with the homemade the house sauce "Ghost Pepper" yum, yum. The Hush Puppies are second to none and very tasty. I'm not a big coleslaw but it's obvious the small staff make their slaw with luv and fresh garden ingredients. Check out their giant Jalapeno Poppers wrapped in bacon...amazing! I... More
Staff was attentive and kind! The food was wonderful. Hushpuppies fresh, cole slaw was wonderful fresh from the garden cabbage. The beef brisket was like meat candy! Highly recommend
Was fine for lunch. They expected a large party so we sat on the patio. Said patio is somewhere between the trash and the latrine in an alley with no view. Food was good nothing to write home about.
No view but food is great, five different sauces, got the pulled pork and the ribs, excellent food, if you are coming by boat wait before eating, the times they are not busy for dinner is between 4:45-6. We got there and had the place to ourselves. Food is great, service is very good.
Ok so this is BBQ.... Wow. So good we came back twice during our short stay!! What to choose? The amazing ribs? The brisket?? Hush puppies or potato salad??? The fab stuffed Jalapenos???! All this plus great Pike place beers and good service. Truely a great BBQ place...we're still dreamin' of it!!
We had our dog with us when we came upon this place and decided we were hungry so we had to order it to go. They did a very good job of including everything we would need and gave us small samples of all the sauces. The brisket was really good, the hush puppies just so so. My favorite was... More
We went whale watching and stopped here for lunch. We ordered some pulled pork sandwiches that were great! They also have a cool outdoor patio area to eat. I would def stop here if you are looking for BBQ!
Definitely get some hush puppies - they were delicious in the true Southern style! My BBQ chicken sandwich came with a very generous portion of meat and was yummy. Pulled pork was good too. The 6-pack of BBQ sauces offers something for every taste. Some have a delayed heat so if you're sensitive, take a small taste before burying your... More
This was without a doubt some of the finest barbecue I've ever had! First off the service is amazing. I got there pretty much after closing and they still served me wonderful food with a smile on their face. This is a lovely little place with a Southern barbecue shack style. Light and enjoyable atmosphere. I ordered the two meat... More

Les Miserables Boosted by Christian Viewers
No surprise here, but the recent success of the film adaptaion of Broadway hit Les Miserables has been due in part to the influence of Christians. Targeting evangelicals was a key element in the film's promotional strategy. Themes of grace, human dignity, and redemption made for a pop-hit among believers, especially given the strategic marketing of the film to Christian thought and culture leaders by NBC Universal.
More at CNN's Belief Blog. For one pastor's take on the Christian themes of the film, see Tullian Tchividjian's recent article "Give Me Law or Give Me Death".
