NBC NATIONAL NEWS — While Louisiana spent the weekend celebrating its 200th birthday, some people in the Florida Keys decided to spend the day in bed.
The "Conch Republic Red Ribbon Bed Race" is billed as "the most fun you can have in bed with your clothes on." Teams raced decorated beds down Duval Street on Saturday, April 28.
It's part of the Conch Republic Independence celebration, which commemorates the day when the Florida Keys staged secession from the United States after the installation of a border patrol blockade at the top of the island chain.

Palestinian refugees displaced by a battle in their camp in northern Lebanon are still waiting, two years on, for the rebuilding of their "temporary" home.
NAHR AL-BARED, Lebanon — Fadi El Tayaar's home used to be in the middle of one of Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camps, Nahr al-Bared. It was a bustling center of commerce in Lebanon's north, and he remembers how the main street was once crammed with Lebanese shoppers during holidays.
"The Lebanese were depending on the items and goods from here," he said. "It was a market, the prices were cheap."
Now Tayaar, who works for the United Nations, gazes out from the top of a recently reconstructed building overlooking the site of his old home. He points at a few trucks parked side by side.
"My home was near those trucks, over there, at the end of the hill," he says, pointing to a position on what is now a massive pile of dirt, about four football fields wide.
Nearly all of what Fadi once knew in Nahr al-Bared was destroyed during fighting that kicked off two years ago this month between the Lebanese Army and a band of armed Islamic insurgents who took over the camp. The battle displaced 30,000 people, many of whom now live in U.N. constructed shelters both inside and outside the camp.
The fighting began on May 20, when Lebanese security forces raided an apartment containing members affiliated with an Islamist militant group called Fatah al-Islam in Lebanon's northernmost city, Tripoli. The raid was in response to an alleged bank robbery by the group. Ten miles away in Nahr al-Bared, Members of Fatah al-Islam retaliated, ambushing Lebanese army checkpoints around the camp's entrances. The attack left 27 Lebanese soldiers dead, many of them killed as they slept.
The Lebanese Army surrounded Nahr al-Bared and began shelling the camp, as Fatah al-Islam fought off attempts by the army to enter. Shells continued to pour into the camp for the next four months. In the end, 168 soldiers, 226 militants and 52 civilians died in the fighting. The camp was all but leveled.
Now, two years later, Nahr al-Bared's reconstruction has yet to begin. The planning and preparation for what is intended to be a complete overhaul of the camp — which the U.S., as the largest single donor, is financing to the tune of $300 million — is being overseen by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA. The agency has completed the master plan for the camp's reconstruction, but the plan has yet to be approved by the Lebanese government. A discovery of ancient ruins amid the modern rubble has also slowed the clearance of destroyed buildings and has required additional building permits.

Two weeks are left until the trade deadline, and the rumors are heating up. Tim Dierkes revisits the stories surrounding Snell, Gorzelanny and Jarrod Saltalamacchia, and Dejan Kovacevic talks about the availability of Salomon Torres, Shawn Chacon and Damaso Marte. Jack Wilson's name pops up as well.
While I don't think that the Pirates will be acquiring the pieces necessary to make a run in 2007, Dave Littlefield certainly needs to find a bat to add to our current core. I can't keep watching this abysmal offense. Something needs to be done. You know it, I know it, and even Littlefield must know it.
Eight of the Pirates' regulars—defined by having 100 at-bats or more—possess batting averages lower than .260. Only Xavier Nady, Freddy Sanchez and Ryan Doumit are playing like legitimate major leaguers—and going forward, you'd have to believe that they'll come down to earth a bit.
Blame Jeff Manto all you want, but the lion's share of the problem is mediocre talent. The offense will improve as Bay, LaRoche, et al. climb out of extended slumps. But even if those guys turn it around, we're still a thumper or two short from a threatening lineup.
It's so frustrating to know that as soon as your opponent scores three runs, the game's over. What's worse is that Don Kelly is the most effective player you can call up from the minors when you need an injury replacement. There's no hope for the immediate future, and the farm system isn't developed enough to believe that anything will change in the next few years.
I'm back to believing the only way the Pirates will get better is by getting worse. Trade Brian Giles for Jason Bay and Oliver Perez and take another shot in 2010.

Guys, let 's stand back and reflect. NCFC are the top team in East Anglia, have been this decade, last decade land at least the one before. We were shipping too many goals last season and the strategy this time round is to fix that. Yes, we are not getting delivery into the front men as well as we should, but if you listen to CH he knows this. I think we have enough to stay up and strengthen the strike force in the close season. In fact, things are looking so good that latest rumours are that NCFC are planning a new store in 1p5wich!

Those of you who have been following us for a while might know that I used to work as an English teacher. Some of you might even have been in the same profession in the past. While I do love writing day in and day out, I do miss teaching at times – especially when I see humorous images like the one above. Ah, the present perfect tense. It sure did bring many an ESL learner to his knees. (Either that or the learner simply killed me in his mind.) While the infographic offers comic relief to English teachers and [Read more…]
Just How Important Is Grammar?
I honestly didn't think that I would be asking this question today, but an article published by The Wall Street Journal caught me off guard. Titled "This Embarrasses You and I", the article highlights the degradation of grammar in the workplace, leading to supposedly disastrous results. You all probably know by now that I am a stickler for grammar, but you also ought to know that I can be flexible. I have always been a strong believer in context and purpose. In some cases, I will not settle for less than prescriptive grammar. In others, I tolerate (even engage in) [Read more…]
How Consistent Are You?
Running is the thing right now. Everywhere I look, it seems that people are talking about running. My Twitter timeline is flooded with people's tweets about 5k, 10k, and LSD! (Apparently, that means long slow distance and not what I initially thought.) On Facebook, I see wall posts about runs left and right. It's the same thing with forums. Here's one post that caught my eye and gave me an idea for today's grammar post. i started running because i want to be more active. now i run because i love it and i'm obsessed with it.

Episode Information
It was only in 1939 that the Altamira Oriole was first found north of the Rio Grande River. Now it happily visits residents on the Texas side of the river, especially where a juicy orange half waits in a backyard feeder. Northerly breeding orioles, like Bullock's in the West and the Baltimore in the East, nest as far north as Canada, but winter mostly in Central America.

@pastanaga - The best thing about that museum is that it doesn't just have many of her oil paintings depicting the Pomo tribe, it also has a large and beautiful collection of Pomo artifacts, like woven baskets and so forth.
They also have a little garden containing some of the traditional plants used for Pomo tribe clothing and food, and other things as well. If you are interested in the Indian culture of the region at all, you should check it out.

for it to finally happen.
excuse the swearing. i'm actually in a terrible mood right now.
i just punched a hole in my bedroom wall.
yes, i have anger issues.
lets not get into that.
wednesday was ANZAC day.
which is a public holiday for us Aussies, cause of the battle in WWI.
so, me and three of my friends went out on tuesday night.
nothing went to plan at first.
then we ended up getting four pills of ecstasy.
drugs are bad. do not do them
on second thuoght, its your life, do whatever the hell you like =]
my ubercrush+friend with benefits T came along.
it was just us two from about 6 till 12.
so somewhere between 8-10 i got really drunk.
to the point of stumbling.
it was also raining, and cold, and dark.
we made out in a hut. or gazebo/whatever you wanna call them.
that was nice. but i was too drunk to really recall it properly.
we then walked around alot.
met our other two friends at 12:20
and at around 1 we took the pills.
they kicked in later.
and i'm too grumpy+tired to get into details.
but tripping on that, and peaking in the park with a playground and glowsticks and friends... fuck. i'd do it over and over again for the rest of my life if i could. that feeling, i've never felt such an amazing escape from life. it was indescribable.
T and i were being all kinda couple-ish.
and my two friends. we'll call them C and M (both girls, both straight) had picked up on it.
me and T were standing over a light (it made us feel like god, the greatest feeling on earth, it felt like we were ontop of the world. literally)
and our noses were touching and we were just looking at eachother talking about random shit.
and it got to about how we've liked eachother for almost a year now.
and gone through girlfriends and boyfriends and alot of shit, and liked eachother through it all.
and she called me perfect.
called me.
She touched played with my hair and called it perfect.
She touched my cheek and ran her hand along my face and called it perfect.
She looked into my eyes and called them perfect.
Fuck, she really is amazing =]]
She said something about how if she asked me out i'd say no.
and that she'd thought she wasnt good enough for me.
She walks along with this aura that places her above everyone else.
And yes, other people feel/see/think it too.
She's one of those people that naturally seems to be above everyone else, she just carries herself like that. its not just me that thinks it =p
and she, thought she wasnt good enough?
the girl thats too good for almost everything. I couldnt believe she'd said that.
I told her it was the opposite, I'd never felt good enough for her.
Not pretty enough, fun enough, 'alternative' enough, 'cool' enough, nothing.
She said i was, she said I was perfect the way I was, and we talked about how I'd drunkenly asked her out once to win a bet and she said yes so she wouldnt lose the bet.
then somehow (too tired to properly recall and type) there was a silence soon after, and we had our arms around eachother, still.
Then she moved her hands up onto my cheeks and looked me in the eyes, and she said "will you go out with me?"
i remember something inside of me warming up, something sparking, something amazing like the sun bursting inside of me.
a huge grin spread across my face and i said YES.
we kissed, it was perfect. the rain had stopped just a few minutes earlier.
I can't believe it, even now.
We talked and giggled about being girlfriends now. made promises like "it has to last more than seven days at LEAST, or its just lame =P"
and continued being mushy and uberhappy on drugs =]
and then C and M, who had been having their own conversation shouted out "LOOK, GUYS WE DONT CARE! GO OUT ALREADY WE DONT CARE! LOVE IS LOVE!" and T and me didnt know what to say so we tried to act all clueless and whatnot
and then M shouted "SERISOULYYY I DONT CARE IF YOUR FUCKINGG HAVING SEX!"
and then me and T jumped away from eachother screaming NOOOO! NO NO NO!
(that's just a wayy weird thought. plus, no sex for me till new years =] i made it my resolution after the start of my year..)
and then we all closed in and said random stuff.
then i looked across to T, who was standing to my left (as always. i have this thing with having to stand on the right hand side)
and she said "should we tell them?"
and im like "i dunno :S?"
and shes like "can we trust them?"
and C and M started yelling saying "YES YOU CAN, WHATEVER IT IS WE WONT SAY ANYTHING"
and T looked me in the eyes and slid her hand into mine, and we both knew what to say as smiles leapt across our face, ear to ear.
in perfect unison, we said "[insert eachothers names here] is my girlfriend" and smiled even more (if that was even possible)
then we looked at eachother and C and M started going CRAZY.
Jumping and screaming and smiling almost was much as T and I were!
C was like "OMGGG SINCE WHEN!?"
and T squeezed my hand and said "Since about five minutes ago!! =D"
And we all jumped around and squealed and hugged excessively (if there is such a thing!)
Then M was like ZOMGG HOOK UP! KISSSSS!
which was kinda creepy.
and oh god this entry was long :|
but we did, then pulled away realizing how creepy that moment was. lol
Ackk. I'll write another entry later on when I can be bothered :|
It'll involve the next day and yesterday afternoon+night when we went into town after school and she came over for a few hours =]
So content and just... yeah. content with life right now =]
that is still coolk that ur friends were cool like that.
Mental wounds not healing, driving me insane, i'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train- the ozzman
thats great!!! congratulations! i hope it all goes well :D (and im sure it will)
--i used to be a tomboy, now im a full grown lesbian--
**you must be the change you wish to see in the world**
OMG, that is so cute! Aw, you hooked up AND your friends were totally happy about it. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. SO CUTE!
~May the spirits guide your every move...to assure you please her in all the right places XD

composition and construction
Engineered Hardwood frame construction allows for greater durability and strength. Mortise and tenon joints have replaced traditional dowel construction used in frame construction. The mortise (hole or slot) is cut into one member and the tenon or tongue from the adjoining piece fits tightly so that, when glued, these joints act as if the wood has grown together. This method of interlocking joinery provides greater stability with fewer joints. Frames are constructed of 7-ply engineered hardwood panels for increased strength and durability. Frames are glued and stapled
Webbing construction is used for firm seating comfort in narrow style platforms. Minimal cushioning provides firm yet comfortable seating support.
The comfort soft seat cushion is designed and constructed to achieve a softer and supportive feel. A dense polyurethane foam core is laminated both top and bottom with a layer of soft foam and wrapped with polyester fiber to provide a comfortable seat and is encased in a non-woven ticking.
Tight Backs have sinuous springs that provide comfort, durability and minimize body impressions, through out the life of the product. The back is padded with a layer of polyurethane foam and polyester fiber.

The Robert D. Judge Family of MichiganUpdated December 4, 2005 |
3298 Tipsico Lake Rd.
Hartland, Michigan 48353 |
Welcome to our Family Web Site. Our heritage traces back to England, Ireland, France and other European countries. My grandparents and father migrated to the United States from 1910 thru 1920 and settled in Detroit, Michigan. But, seeing as most of the Judge decendents have passed away, we are having a difficult time tracing our roots back to Ireland. So far, we have only traced my grandmother, Beatrice Thompson-Judge, father, Thomas Joseph Judge and aunt, Mary T. Judge to Ilkley and Leeds, England. My grandfather, John Judge, who was Irish is so far a mystery. Any help would be appreciated. |

Inhibitory interneurons of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus modulate the activity of thalamocortical cells in response to excitatory input through the release of inhibitory neurotransmitter from both axons and dendrites. The exact mechanisms by which release can occur from dendrites are, however, not well understood. Recent experiments using calcium imaging have suggested that Na/K-based action potentials can evoke calcium transients in dendrites via local active conductances, making the backpropagating action potential a candidate for dendritic neurotransmitter release. In this study, we used high temporal and spatial resolution voltage-sensitive dye imaging to assess the characteristics of dendritic voltage deflections in response to Na/K action potentials in interneurons of the mouse dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus. We found that trains or single action potentials elicited by somatic current injection or local synaptic stimulation rapidly and actively backpropagated throughout the entire dendritic arbor and into the fine filiform dendritic appendages known to release GABAergic vesicles. Action potentials always appeared first in the soma or proximal dendrite in response to somatic current injection or local synaptic stimulation, and the rapid backpropagation into the dendritic arbor depended upon voltage-gated sodium and tetraethylammonium chloride-sensitive potassium channels. Our results indicate that thalamic interneuron dendrites integrate synaptic inputs that initiate action potentials, most likely in the axon initial segment, that then backpropagate with high fidelity into the dendrites, resulting in a nearly synchronous release of GABA from both axonal and dendritic compartments.

George Vradenburg stands in front of 800 people and tells them they are going to die.
It's April 21, 2005. Vradenburg's audience, in tuxedos and evening gowns, fills the ballroom of the Grand Hyatt in downtown DC for the second annual gala of the Alzheimer's Association. Vradenburg, an accomplished corporate lawyer who has just turned 62, is the gala cochair. He's a tall man. Commanding.
He draws an imaginary line down the middle of the room. "Everyone on the right side, stand up," he says. "Everyone on the other side, stay seated." The two camps look at each other. "All of you standing will have Alzheimer's disease by the age of 85. Those of you who are sitting will be taking care of them."
The audience has heard the statistics before, but not presented so forcefully. They know that 5 million people in the United States have Alzheimer's and that the number will multiply as the baby boomers age. They also know that the odds of developing Alzheimer's doubles about every five years after age 65. That by the year 2050 the annual cost of caring for people with Alzheimer's in the US will be more than $1 trillion, enough to overwhelm Medicare and Medicaid. They know that Alzheimer's is the only major lethal disease for which there is no effective treatment, prevention, or cure.
Yet those who are standing up might live longer with Alzheimer's than those who spend their life feeding, lifting, and diapering a sick loved one. Look at the person pushing the wheelchair, caretakers say. That's who dies first.
Vradenburg is an appropriately solemn messenger for such grim news. His wife, Trish, the blond woman in the red dress standing next to him, the former sitcom writer—she's the funny one. He leads with the hard truth; she softens it with a well-timed line. "People ask me, 'Who wants to live to 85 anyway?' " she'll say. "Eighty-four-year-olds!"
Trish Vradenburg, now 66, hopes to be so lucky. Her dream is to die after getting hit by a truck, with just enough time to eat a frozen Snickers bar before she goes. But she'll settle for any ending other than the one she's imagined for the last two decades. The one she feels trickling down her bloodline.
As the Vradenburgs stare through spotlights into a ballroom full of people, half of them standing, half sitting, they know they might as well be looking in a mirror. They know these odds. And they know they aren't good.
It was 1988. Trish and George Vradenburg were asleep in their home in South Orange, New Jersey, a few miles from Trish's mother, Beatrice Lerner. At 3 am, the phone rang. "There's a strange man here," Lerner said. "He's trying to rob me."
The drive took five minutes. George and Trish found Lerner's windows closed. Her door hadn't been forced open, but she was on guard. She pulled her daughter and son-in-law aside and whispered, "That's him. Who is he?" Lerner was pointing at her husband, Joseph.
After that night, she became more paranoid. And forgetful. And quickly she, too, became unrecognizable.
One day Trish took a bad fall and called her mother to take her to the hospital. The normally hypochondriacal Lerner—whom Trish could have imagined driving the ambulance herself, all the while terrifying her daughter with prognoses of infections and bone disease—arrived half an hour later.
"Mom, we have to get to the hospital!" Trish said.
"All right," her mother said casually. "Do you think they'll have tea there? How do you like my hat?"
Lerner had been among the most influential Democrats in New Jersey. In photos lining a wall in George and Trish's house, she stands alongside John F. Kennedy, Harry Truman, Adlai Stevenson, Frank Lautenberg, Bill Bradley, Jimmy Carter. In many of those photos, she's the only woman. A woman who once was on a list of Nixon White House enemies to be investigated by the IRS.
Eventually Lerner forgot her own story. Her brain filled with a normally beneficial protein that, in abundance, clumped in the space between brain cells. The hardened plaque blocked transmissions among synapses, the pathways the cells use to send commands that control the body, memory, the senses. With the brain's communications system jammed, a second wave of attack arrived. Another protein, what scientists sometimes call "the executioner," burrowed into the weakened cells, destroying them from the inside. Cell by dying cell, her brain shut down.
As the proteins flooded Lerner's brain, her body went rigid. She withered, immobile, in a New Jersey nursing home. By the time she died in 1992, she'd been so long removed from the world that no one from her storied political past remembered her anymore.
Watching her mother's descent scared Trish. And watching it scare Trish—seeing her wonder every time she misplaced her keys or her cell phone—scared George. How many times can someone forget something until the problem isn't just forgetfulness?
George knows the disease isn't just in Trish's blood. It's a constant presence in her thoughts and in her sleep. She dreams about her mother all the time.
The 2005 gala is supposed to be about triumph over that fear, measured in the money George and Trish will raise—more than $1 million—and in the personal affirmations the speakers will share. But Washington galas blend into one another in a season crowded with fundraisers for diseases. So when George goes off the usual script and puts the cold reality of the numbers right in the center of the room, his words unnerve people.
What no one knows yet on this night, not even George and Trish, is that the Vradenburgs are about to start a movement. It will be fueled by their fears and by an audacious goal: They plan to find a treatment or a cure for Alzheimer's in their lifetime.


text: 2/17/2011 I can't explain it. Most others I know afflicted with the same disorder face similar pains justifying their actions. Why would one spend countless hours hiking woodlands, clamoring up cliff-like precipices, wading through cattail jungles and tackling the worst of spring weather to pick up a cast antler? There isn't even the reward of a meaty venison steak after the laborious task. I've had those thoughts over and over again when questioned by my loving spouse on the collection of thousands of antlers cluttering my barn amid a hasty departure for yet another trip to look for more. Sure, some do it for the reward of a paycheck mainly from antler artists, but for most it is simply described best as an addiction dating to our caveman ancestors. Opening day isn't regulated by a game-and-fish commission, aside from a few Western states for the protection of wintering game. Mother Nature rings the opening bell, usually in March. And the "season" continues until the green grass hides sheds or mineral-hungry rodents gnaw antlers to barely recognizable nubs. Anticipation escalates by weekend scoping of local bucks and bulls from afar to measure when the bulk of them have jettisoned their headgear. My local community has a penned herd of elk, and come spring I check the daily status of the herd bull's antlers to measure when free-ranging cousins may finish shedding. If the winter has been particularly unforgiving animals may shed earlier, but most years antlers fall off in a timely matter comparable to the rising and setting of the sun. From that point on your take depends primarily on your available free time and your physical endurance. Locating an antler brings instant satisfaction, but once the warm feeling subsides it can also shed a wealth of information for those willing to look beyond the initial fortune. My best scouting for the coming season is from spring shed hunting. Why? I'm not afraid to venture into bedrooms, sanctuaries and other hideouts I deem off-limits most other times of the year in fear of spooking game into pattern-changing moves. Rubs, scrapes, wallows and heavily used trails all stand out in the bareness before spring showers vegetate the landscape. Of course the antler itself reveals whether a particular animal survived hunting season and winter's brutality. But you may also stumble across the carcasses of other big game less fortunate, giving you solid information on what animal densities to expect in the fall. If you hunt migrating game, use the location of shed antlers to backtrack and locate prime habitat to target in hunting season. Put it all together and you have a solid plan in place on where to begin next season's hunt. That's a goal equally as valuable as the shed antler in hand. Here are my trophy tips for all you shed hunters out there: ■ Hold off on shed hunting as long as possible. Early searching could force animals to move into new areas off-limits to you, making shed antlers unavailable. Plus, pressure on wintering animals causes them undue stress when they are most vulnerable after surviving a long winter. ■ Game can drop antlers at any moment, so look for sheds near food and bedding cover, and trails connecting the two. Crops like corn, soybean and winter wheat, and pastures that haven't received grazing pressure attract hungry big game. ■ Since big game spends considerable time on south-facing slopes it makes sense that a higher percentage of antlers are dropped there. Southern slopes attract game looking for protection from brisk north winds. They also provide the best locations to soak up warm winter rays. ■ For the biggest sheds, look for out-of-the-way micro environments offering isolation, thick cover and a nearby food source. Although the bulk of shed antlers will be near traditional locations, such as high-energy food sources or on south-facing slopes, mature animals don't always follow the crowd. Trophy animals like to detach themselves from the herd.

Despite the fact that the average New Yorker's apartment could generously be compared to a shoebox, the residents of Gotham sure do love their homewares. And nowhere do they more seriously indulge their passion for furnishings, light fixtures, rugs, antiques, draperies, and every kind of big-ticket tchotchke under the sun than at ABC Carpet & Home. Spread across multiple floors and two stores, the beautiful merchandising suggests little environments that could easily be transposed straight into a New York loft. Silk pillows, handblown glass, artfully scuffed French country furniture, delicate glass chandeliers—add several floors worth of exquisite rugs and floor treatments and you have the makings of a swoonworthy afternoon's shopping. The best part: They ship all around the globe. If you're looking for a bargain, you can make the trek up to their outlet store in the Bronx (1055 Bronx River Avenue, 718-842-8772).

What makes Barneys New York a must-stop for the fashion-forward isn't the comprehensive selection of popular designers (Prada, Manolo Blahnik) or the witty window displays (which would stop any New Yorker in her stilettos). Rather, it's the store's unerring eye for emerging talent. The noteworthy selection takes shape on the main level with jewelry from Lanvin and Sevan, plus a well-curated mix of handbags from brands like Miu Miu and Devi Kroell. In the basement, the revamped beauty level offers the entire lineup of L'Artisan Parfumeur, and cult faves Frédéric Malle and Care by Stella McCartney. While high fashion comes with the uptown prices you'd expect, private label Barneys Collectionformerly helmed by New York fashion darling Behnaz Sarafpourhas more affordable separates and tailored outerwear. Barneys got its start in the 1920s as a men's store, so it's no surprise that the gent's department is an incubator of cool, best known for its made-to-measure dress shirts and edgy accessories, including Berluti shoes and buttery-soft men's bags from Leonello Borghi.
The cheeky, youth-oriented spin-off, Barneys Co-Op, offers a more accessible version of the Barneys experience, be it through vibrant print dresses from London designer Duro Olowu or sustainable fashion from Edun. The basement level is devoted to denim of every stripe, from 18th Amendment to Helmut Lang. Bargain hunters, take note: When Barneys cleans out seasonal merchandise, prices are often slashed over 50 percent at the biannual warehouse sale in Chelsea.

Most department stores have cloned themselves endlessly, populating malls all over America. But there is only one Bergdorf Goodman. In fact, it has such significance in fashion circles that most designers would choose Bergdorf's if forced to display their wares in only one place. The original store and the Men's Store across Fifth Avenue house every important fashion name, both classic and cutting-edge, along with exquisite accessories, jewelry, and haute items for the home. Check out the fifth-floor womenswear (known as 5F) for a comprehensive range of affordable, buzz-worthy names such as Jason Wu and Alexander Wang, along with labels like Theyskens' Theory by Belgian wunderkind Olivier Theyskens. The young designer formerly helmed Rochas and Nina Ricci, and his streamlined designs for the popular mass brand Theory tend to send fashion devotees into a swoon. Recharge at the salonlike Kelly Wearstler–designed BG restaurant on the 7th floor.

This department store, known for selling designer fashions at heavily discounted prices, achieved a second degree of fame when it was seriously damaged in the World Trade Center attacks. Several months and millions of dollars in repairs later, it reopened in its original site, just across from Ground Zeroand as the women of Sex and the City famously put it in one episode, it is everyone's civic duty to go there and spend money. It's also in one's economic best interest. Prices on everythingmen's and women's fashions, shoes, housewares, cosmeticsare much lower than they would be anywhere else. You have to have nerves of steel to do hand-to-hand combat for the bargain goods, but the rewards are many.
Open Mondays through Wednesdays 7:45 am to 8 pm, Thursdays and Fridays 7:45 am to 9:30 pm, Saturdays 10 am to 9 pm, and Sundays 11 am to 8 pm.
Some of the city's most idiosyncratic and memorable shopping can be found in the East Village and the Lower East Side, neighborhoods which so far have remained immune to the plague of chain stores and franchises. Vintage clothing, street wear, and vinyl stores abound, and the narrow, awning-covered streets (particularly around Chinatown) can feel like a bustling Asian market, with noisy vendors and riotous, colorful stores whose wares spill onto the sidewalks.
Canny homemakers and stylists alike flock to Zarin Fabrics, a giant 1930s-era warehouse on the edge of Chinatown stocking high-quality fabric and draperyfrom damask to mohair to racy animal printsat discounted prices. Hunt for the perfect items to complement your draperies at John Derian. Plates, trays, and lamps are decoupaged with vintage prints and old typewritten letters, with French terra-cotta earthenware by Astier de Villatte and taxidermy and art by Hugo Guinness rounding out the eclectic mix.
Guys hungry for that happy medium between preppy and hipster frequent Odin, a men's boutique known for its butter-soft tees and well-curated mix of cutting-edge labels like Rag & Bone and Rogue's Gallery. Their girlfriends and wives flock to Sigerson Morrison, whose shoes are the Jimmy Choos of the downtown set. Also check out their less expensive line, Belle, in a separate storefront around the corner.
For grown-up womenswear with a slightly conceptual bent, you won't want to miss No. 6, a pared-back boutique owned by two friends—a stylist and a vintage collector—who stock designers such as Staerk, Stine Goya, and Christian Wijnants; vintage pieces; and their own line of clothing and shoes in an androgynous Belgian mode. More like a members-only club than a clothes shop (you have to be buzzed in), Alife Rivington is actually two adjacent boutiques where hipsters with deep pockets go to stock up on ironic tees, limited-edition kicks, and hoodies. The vibe is far from thrift store thoughthe shelves are spotless, the displays immaculate, and an air of quiet reverence prevails. Foley+Carinna, on the other hand, embraces the thrift-store vibe. Infectious dance music plays as you peruse sparkly, lacy garments; oversize costume jewelry; and vintage clothes and shoes. The fashion-forward line of tote bags is worth stopping for as well.

In years past, if Bergdorf Goodman was the glamorous older sibling and Barneys the avant-garde individualist, the original Henri Bendel was the fun, fashion-forward little sister of New York City department stores. This was the first U.S. store to stock Chanel and championed offbeat yet fabulous fashion brands like Sonia Rykiel and Matthew Williamson, after all. But in 2009, the parent company shut down the clothes department in order to concentrate solely on accessories and beauty products. While the loss was felt keenly by fashion followers, there's still glamour to be found in the flagship store, which is made up of three late-19th-century town houses with the original Lalique windows and glass-domed ceiling intact. The beauty department stocks brands such as Trish McEvoy, Laura Mercier, and YSL, and you'll find jewelry and bags from Rebecca Minkoff, Tom Binns, and Miriam Haskell spread around the shop. There are more affordable options, as well, including snakeskin wristlets for under $100.—Emma Sloley

New York ingenues hailed the arrival of French brand Isabel Marant's first U.S. store in 2010 as a fashion coup. A certain kind of cool girl was left disgruntled about it, however—the kind who used to be able to return from Paris with that covetable little item that all her friends would envy. Now those friends can just walk into Marant's quirky-cool NYC boutique, with its polished concrete floors and off-kilter blond-wood dressing rooms, and find those insouciantly glamorous things for themselves, without a transatlantic flight. Marant's genius lies in her way with textures that create a lived-in, slightly vintage patina, making every garment feel like an old favorite. Silky-soft boyfriend sweaters, superbly tailored blazers, and slinky cocktail dresses that hang off the body just so are the kind of pieces you reach for time and again, particularly when you're keen to be mistaken for a cigarette-dangling Parisian chanteuse.—Emma Sloley

Jeffrey Kalinsky is nothing less than a New York legend: The former Barneys shoe buyer has made thousands of fashion-hungry downtown men and women very happy since opening his eponymous store in the Meatpacking District in 1999 (long before it was de rigueur to open up shop here). His was the first high-end designer department store in the neighborhood, and these days the Chanel-and-diamond-wearing crowd happily makes the pilgrimage downtown to see what's he's got in store. The long narrow space isfittingly enoughreminiscent of a catwalk, with an elegant fountain breaking up the various sections. Staff are surprisingly free of snootiness (in fact, we'd venture to say it's one of the friendliest upscale retailers around) and it's a sheer delight to browse the racks for red carpetready offerings from names like Valentino, Gucci, and Giambattista Valli.

Kiosk is a well-curated design shop that sells products from different countries, available for several months at a time. The inaugural exhibit in December 2005 featured Japanese designs, more recent collections have come from Germany, Bulgaria, Turkey, and India. To describe the offerings as quirky sounds like a cliché, but there's no one word to encompass the selection, which could include ceramics, office supplies, baby products, electronics, and anything else that catches the eye of owner Alisa Grifo, a former set designer and props stylist. Prices are very reasonable, and the products, for the most part, won't be found anywhere else in town.

The owners of this trailblazing Soho boutique, Beth Buccini and Sarah Easley, think like fashion editors: They sift through the endless sartorial offerings that come down the catwalks each season and manage to choose exactly what the cool girls want to wear right now. The light-filled space reads like a contemporary gallery for fashion, with a Lucite roof, glossy red railings, and low-slung sofas (all the better for viewing the works of art hanging on the racks). Part of this downtown institution's appeal is the blend of reverencehigh style devotees can name-check the fashion world's most important labels (Lanvin, Alaïa, Balenciaga, Nina Ricci)and kitsch (supplement your museum-worthy dress purchase with a limited-edition, Japanese-inspired Kirna Zabête toy or some old-school candies). Downstairs you'll find children's wear, pet accessories, and lingerie.
Open Mondays through Saturdays 11am to 7 pm, Sundays noon to 6 pm.
In spite of calling Paris home these days, Marc Jacobs will always belong to New York, the city where his multifarious design talents reached their nexus. It's possible, given a few hours to spare, to experience the entirety of Jacobs's creative genius, from the refined, avant-garde lines of his ready-to-wear collection on Soho's Mercer Street, to the quirky-cute accessories stores in the West Village. Bleecker Street lays claim to four of the most sought-after shopfronts in the empire, including his diffusion line, Marc by Marc Jacobs, which has a devoted cult following. Window displays change with the seasons (and the whims of the design team). Expect anything from a sexed-up Santa posing with shoppers for Christmas portraits (Polaroids which are then plastered all over the windows) to beds of tulips heralding spring. While young women comprise Marc's most ardent fan base, he doesn't neglect the rest of the family: The West Village empire extends to a children's line, Little Marc, and a men's ready-to-wear store. To get the best perspective on just how beloved Mr. Jacobs's vision is in this town, drop by the accessories store, where his coveted handbags and shoes inspire mob scenes every weekend.
It's no coincidence that when people think of shopping in New York, they think of midtownthe buzzy commercial center of Manhattan harbors some of the country's best, and most expensive, retail space. Upper Madison Avenue is a virtual encyclopedia of the world's finest luxury brands, while tony Fifth Avenue has its own share of gilded names (many top brands have outposts on both). New York's great department stores, including Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys, and Henri Bendel, can each warrant full-day excursions in themselves.
There's no such thing as downtime at Tiffany & Co.'s Fifth Avenue flagship. From the moment those hallowed doors open until they clang shut at night, the place is crawling with dazzled tourists, Upper East Side dowagers looking to add to their collections, and starry-eyed couples shopping for the big one. There's no surer way to qualify for parent of the year than by taking junior family members to FAO Schwarz. File past the toy soldier doormen into a cavernous space filled with everything from life-size stuffed animals to charmingly old-fashioned wooden toys. Art and design lovers find nirvana at the MoMA store, with for-sale versions of the high-design exhibits, Alvar Aalto glass vases, wacky Lomo cameras, and plenty of oddball items such as oversize novelty phones that really work and a modernist Flexus glass menorah.
Tom Ford's three-story flagship near Barneys is tricked out like a gentlemen's pied à terre with everything the modern dandy needs, from a tailoring service to a fragrance department. A few blocks north is Christian Louboutin, whose iconic red-soled heels are the cornerstone of many a New York woman's shoe collection. You don't have to be a bride-to-be to appreciate the wares at Vera Wang, a study in understated chic, from the vases of dark purple lilies to the racks of beautifully tailored resort and ready-to-wear at the top of the spiral staircase. (Viewing bridal wear is by appointment only.)
It might not be on the gilded retail strip, but Jean's Silversmiths is a gem worth hunting downan insider source for vintage and estate jewelry as well as over 2,000 flatware patterns and sterling silver sets from American, English, Danish, and European designers.

It would be easy to mistake Moss for a bite-size museum: Items in this design store range from porcelain plates from the 18th century to the latest Scandinavian furniture. But yes, it's all for sale, from the pocket flashlight by Lexon Design of France, which costs less than $20, to a bright-red, vintage Borsani articulating chairto the tune of $6,500. Owner Murray Moss picks the goods himself and originally built a reputation by selling housewares and objets d'art by heavyweights like Ted Muehling, Hella Jongerius, and Tord Boontje. You never know what to expectyou might find a classic Sèvres porcelain bust of Molière in the corner or a set of Laguiole knives with candy-colored handles by the counter. There is also an art gallery next door.
Open Mondays through Saturdays 11 am to 7 pm, Sundays noon to 6 pm.

This Soho boutiquewhose proudly '80s font hints at the decade most revered within displays work by a different country's designers each year, plus a smattering of Americans for good measure. Back in 2006, the favored nation was England, with a mini Topshop installed on the second floor (complete with the trendiest offerings, including the store's famous super-skinny jeans). In 2007, the focus switched to Swedish designers. Recently, the store commissioned Chloë Sevigny, the It girl of downtown style, to design a capsule range: Standout items included a floral dress with built-in bustier and a high-waist pencil skirt. Regardless of the country, the mix here is avant-garde and never boring (if occasionally verging on the unwearable). Less daring shoppers should stick to the prettier offerings, like fun cocktail dresses from Vena Cava.
Open Mondays through Saturdays 11 am to 8 pm, Sundays noon to 7 pm.

Part of Miuccia Prada's undisputed genius is her ability to fuse fashion with art, and that talent is on impressive display at the New York flagship in Soho. Conceived by Dutch starchitect Rem Koolhaas, this former downtown branch of the Guggenheim Museum features a dramatic staircase (populated by headless mannequins) that faces a giant wooden halfpipe, subterranean display rooms that feel like the costume department of a theater, and enormous wall murals running the length of the 23,000-square-foot space. While the main level feels more like a deserted showroom than a retail environment, downstairs houses a warren of small rooms displaying the latest collections, handbags, and shoes. It's all a bit of a trip, and one you'll be talking about long after you get your purchases home.
Open Mondays through Saturdays 11 am to 7 pm, Sundays noon to 7 pm.

Along with being two of the nicest people in fashion (not to mention rather, ahem, easy on the eyes), British transplants David Neville and Marcus Wainwright create designs that suggest the wardrobe of an off-duty model, an influence no doubt gleaned from the coterie of actual models and early adopters in the pair's orbit. Inspired variously by classic English tailoring, traditional American workwear, and military motifs, Rag & Bone hits that perfect, ever-so-slightly androgynous urban-warrior note every season with their jeans, T-shirts, and Henleys. The men's flagship is on a once-gritty stretch of Christopher Street in the West Village (the women's shop is a couple of doors down at number 104). The pair has also opened Soho and Upper West Side branches.—Emma Sloley
Open daily noon to 7 pm.
The area south of Houston has come in and out of fashion over the years, but one thing remains consistent: its high-hip shopping status. Weekends can be chaotic in these parts, between the harried locals, out-of-towners window shopping, and beautiful people clogging the cafés (Downtown Cipriani makes a prime coffee-break spot, if only for the chance to ogle the Euro jet set who frequent it). If possible, visit Soho during the week, when things are quieter and shop attendants aren't quite as preoccupied.
Start on Broadway, worship at the altar of Prada, and work your way over to Sixth Avenue by way of the neighborhood's cobblestone side streets. 3.1 Phillip Lim, an airy, uncluttered space, highlights the architectural dresses and diaphanous cardigans of one of the city's biggest design stars. For something a little racier, head to Kiki de Montparnasse, an upscale lingerie and "intimacy products" store that feels like the parlor of a particularly sophisticated dominatrix. Ina is the place to go for near-new designer wear like Chanel and Balenciaga that's often only a season out of date (sometimes less).
Natural history buffs will love Evolution, where every kind of fossil, bone, skull, medical model, and animal skin can be found, as well as less startling specimens like tribal art and seashells. Continue the theme at Distant Origin, where you'll find antler-based table lamps, zebra-skin poufs, and fur throw pillows mixed with Lucite stag heads, Fortuny silk lamps, and black glass chandeliers. Further east, drop in on Filipino jeweler Federico de Vera, whose madcap shop is filled with interesting antiques like Khmer sculptures, ivory combs, tortoiseshell boxes, and blown-glass insects. Moss feels like a small museum with carefully curated items that run the gamut from porcelain busts to Scandinavian side tables. You'll find more classic pieces at Ted Muehling's small shop on Howard Street, on the neighborhood's southeast fringe. The delicate silver and gold pieces include slightly asymmetrical oval bangles and earrings resembling grains of rice.
The West Village lays claim to some of the city's best microneighborhoods, from the upscale far reaches of the Meatpacking District to the gourmet wonderland of Bleecker Street at its southern end (for foodies, Murray's Cheese at No. 254 is a worthy pilgrimage all on its own). Spend your way down Bleecker between West 10th and Hudson to see big-name haunts like Ralph Lauren, Juicy Couture, Mulberry, and Intermix, leaving plenty of time to pay homage to the block between 11th and Bank Street, also known as "Marc Jacobs Land".
Veer west after Bleecker meets Hudson and you'll find the Meatpacking District, which long ago transitioned from blue collar to boutique. Two blocks up Hudson Street is Elizabeth Charles, home of hard-to-find Australian and New Zealand labels such as Lover, Jayson Brundson, and Karen Walker.
Most of the noteworthy Meatpacking retailers are clustered on and around West 14th Street. Neighborhood pioneer Jeffrey is haute without attitude and is the place to go for both mens and womens footwear. Stella McCartney's flagship has her trademark floaty dresses, sexy separates, and animal-friendly accessories next door is the inventive DDCLab, a design studio known for its futuristic fabrics and sophisticated takes on denim. Blink and you'll walk right by Ten Thousand Things, a small jewelry store showcasing David Rees and Ron Anderson's understated, sculptural pieces. Diane Von Furstenberg's sexy, Pop-bright space on the corner of Washington Street highlights her famous wrap dresses. Skip across over the road to one of Scoop's four neighboring stores for a great edit of right-this-minute labels like Anya Hindmarch resort wear and Alice Temperley bags.
For those with energy (and cash) to spare, you can continue your retail rampage south or east of the Meatpacking district to shops like Flight 001 on Greenwich Avenue, which stocks Orla Kiely roll-ons, quirky luggage decals, passport holders, and more. Then head around the corner on Jane Street to the Pierre Hardy boutique, the brand's first outside of Paris. The opening was greeted with grand enthusiasm by the six-inch-heel set, which flocks here for architectural stilettos, fabulous wedges, and sexier-than-they-have-a-right-to-be pumps. There's also a selection of beautifully made brogues and high-end leather sneakers for men.

What's true of most cities also applies to New York: If you want to take the temperature of the town's tastes and style, get to a market. The Young Designer's Market, which operates out of a church gym on weekends, is a good primer on the future generation of fashion tastemakers: Designers, milliners, jewelers, and accessories makers set up (and usually man) stalls displaying their designs, which offers visitors the unique opportunity of conversing with the creators firsthand. Sure, there's a bit of dross to sift through, but there are always gems to be found among the crowded aisles. The labels on display change from week to week, but some recent standouts included cute, vintage-inspired cloche hats by Charm NYC; waist-cinching leather belts from Jetta Boone; and some gorgeous beaten-gold cuffs at the stall of Jennifer Young, who designs under the name Chameleon. The best part of finding something you like? You can expect to pay a mere fraction of the price for comparable pieces in high-end stores.
Open Saturdays and Sundays 11 am to 7 pm.

If you don't have kids, Yoyamart will make you want to raise a family just so you can shop here. On the eastern edge of the Meatpacking District, it was conceived as a shopping experience for a cool dad, and stocks things that would be equally at home in a kid's room as in an adult's. You'll find the requisite cool kid-sized Y3 Adidas sneakers, miniature Diesel and Juicy Couture frocks, and removable vinyl wall graphics, as well as novelty toys from Japan, Lomo cameras, Dinh Van jewelry, and a selection of DVDs including Schoolhouse Rock and films by Hayao Miyazaki (of Spirited Away fame). There's a baby store with modernist nursery furniture one block away.

Obafemi Martins is pushing for a quick sale out of Levante, as Seattle Sounders look to tie up a €3m purchase.
The Nigerian only joined Levante in the summer after cutting short his stay with Russian club Rubin Kazan.
Whilst making an initial impact in the team, reports emerged this week that MLS outfit Seattle Sounders were travelling out to Valencia to negotiate a deal at a €3m price.
Speaking on Radio Valencia yesterday evening, the 28-year-old confirmed whilst that €1m of that fee will be for him, this move is not about money.
"It's a good deal for everyone. It would be nice for my family to go to America. Seattle's offer is good and I want to leave," Martins revealed. He is said to have been offered a two-year contract paying €2.5m a year.
"I'm not happy here, because I was promised something that has not been met. I help the team, but there is something that Levante have not met. It is not a question of money and I want out.
"It is difficult to speak publicly about it. Ask Manolo [Salvador, Levante's sporting director], he knows what it is.
"Of this €3m, two are for Levante and one is for me. I came to Levante for very little money and they will receive more than what it cost to sign me, so it would be a good deal for Levante."
However, Levante have communicated via their official Twitter account that they: "will not negotiate now the exit of any player and if there is an offer then it must be at the termination clause."

Rotana Hotel Management Corporation, the Abu Dhabi-based hospitality company running a hotel chain in the Middle East and Africa, will open its five-star resort hotel in Salalah by the end of 2012 and a business hotel in Sohar in early 2013, according to a company official.
In an e-mail reply to Muscat Daily enquiries, Omer Kaddouri, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Rotana, said that the company will operate its first property in Oman - Salalah Rotana Resort & Spa - through a strategic alliance signed between Rotana and Orascom.
"Our strategic aim is to have a property located in every key city in the Middle East and Africa. In line with this strategy, we have announced the opening of the two properties in Oman."
The five-star Salalah Rotana Resort & Spa will be operational by the end of 2012 and will offer 400 luxury rooms and suites, a wide choice of bars and restaurants, a private beach and Zen Spa. Centro Sohar will open early 2013 with 300 rooms. Appealing to large corporate entities, small and medium business owners, and individual travelers, Centro by Rotana will be a modern, stylish and affordable business hotel brand providing unique living spaces in a contemporary environment.
"Centro Sohar will feature amenities specifically geared to the needs of the travelling executive including a well-appointed executive centre, meeting rooms, gymnasium and swimming pool," said the executive vice president.
"A property in Oman will allow us to cater to the business individuals and leisure travellers. The MICE (meetings, incentives, conference, exhibitions) segment will also be attracted by the business opportunities in the country as well as the amount of activities that incentive groups can do," he said.
According to Kaddouri, Oman has seen a huge economic development in the past few years and the country has potential to develop more its internal as well as external commerce which has attracted the hospitality group to invest in the sultanate.

He was a war-hero fighter pilot. He was an MIT rocket scientist. He was a lot of impressive things, and then Buzz Aldrin went to the moon, which is maybe all you know about one of the most famous men on earth—a guy who's been frozen, like a footprint in lunar dust, in America's mind for forty-five years now.
