Looking for a tailor to make me a bespoke suit, the first place I went to, just of Dong Khoi, was not very encouraging. The owner struggled to tear himself away from the TV to tell me that a suit would cost minimum of $500. I passed on the offer.
By chance I entered a tailors near Zen Plaza that looked quiet. The lady was very helpful, spoke good English, and had a good selection of catalogues for me to choose the style I wanted, and a good selection of material also.
When the suits were ready for fitting several days later, she was very attentive and more than happy to make the adjustments I requested. The quality of the final product was first class. I continue to wear the suits regularly to the office and am almost totally happy with them. Only 1 thing – there is no lining on the inside front thigh of the trousers so maybe you would need to ask for that.
What to buy:
The lady also makes and sells silk shirts, ladies' wear, everything in fact.
What to pay:
I bought 4 suits in total, and paid $100 each for them. I never tried to negotiate the price down as I think I got a good deal as was.
Saigon Square is another step forward in the modernization of shopping in Vietnam. It is new, clean and modern. There is a large supermarket in the middle of the Square (Citimart) surrounded by almost 20 small shops including upmarket brands such as Longines, Boss Perfume, Motorola and Nokia. In other shops you can buy eyeglasses, watches, furniture, air conditioners, film and inexpensive clothes, luggage and shoes (Beware, most are knock offs or counterfeit).
You can eat while you shop or take a nice relaxing break for lunch in between shopping at one of the nearby restaurants. Everything from sushi and Chinese food to sandwiches and pizzas is available. The clothes available are trendy and cheap. Cute trendy T shirts can be had for as low as 2 USD. The place is less crowded than the markets in Cholon and since it is roomier easier to move around in.
What to buy:
Come here for cheap local and Chinese-imported copies of designer sportswear, anything from the latest temples for your toes to winter coats. The quality is, well, fake, but the price is right and the stuff is good and rugged. It's not a bad place to stock up on travel items or on things you'll need heading home in wintertime. The massive Saigon Square complex also houses all manner of small budget fashion boutiques, jewelry sellers, and accessories vendors (a good place to pick up copies of the latest Prada or Burberry bag).
What to pay:
knock off shirts at 30,000 VND, Counterfeit Ralph lauren Jeans at 80,000 VND, Knock-off Rolex watches at 700,000 VND, Local shirts at 25,000 VND.
Cao Vinh is a small Clothes Shop on Pasteur Street. Once they have your measures, they also take orders by e-mail and send it to you.
What to buy:
Tailored suits and shirts.
What to pay:
USD 200 to 300 for a Suit with one pair of pants.
You can find many shops selling T-shirts but in Ben Thanh market, you can find many, many stalls where you can choose & bargain from
You can buy T-shirts from the upscale souvenir shops e.g in hotels but expect to pay 10x - 20x more!!
What to buy:
I'm not going to encourage anyone out there to purchase any fake designer shirts even though they do come in very tempting prices. However, T-shirts made in Vietnam are pretty nice to bring home as souvenirs or gifts to pass around because not only they are inexpensive, they come in nice designs too especially the ones with the embroidery
Personally, I find the cheaper T-shirts are quite thin (but good to wear in a hot & humid place like Saigon) but with the low prices, it's value for money. Plus, they're pretty handy if you forgot to pack extra clothes
What to pay:
Some stalls are notorious because even after I bargained for half the price of the item, I found other places that sell them for less than that. I guess they know the trick so they push the price higher
So, the cheapest T-shirts I bought were US$1 for printed tees and US$2 for T-shirts with embroidery
Some of the shops in Saigon (and Hanoi for that matter) are very interestingly decorated and have a particular style which caters to the more individualist type. If you like mainstream type shops like Next and M&S you will feel that here is not the place to go shopping.
What to buy:
Original pieces like dresses and hats...
What to pay:
cheaper that average
The nice ladies (Ms Hiew and her sister Ms Vicky) are so helpful in your selection of the shirts,pants and all types of clothes. Speaks wonderful English and helpful in many ways. Ah...prices of the shirts, depends on the quantity you buy.
I was there 2 consecutive days buying t-shirts and t-shirts at BARGAINABLE prices. You got to check this place out and if the price fancies you, buy your tshirts, sportswear, pants from here. You don;t need to go anywhere else
Ms Hiew and Vicky's aunt - Nga, is also so helpful. But she can't speak English but gives all kinds of ideas what you may want to buy. (Note: You have to get a size larger to allow for "shrinkage". My mistake, I didn't know this until I machine washed the tshirts)
What to buy:
All types of clothes - Shirts, sport shirts, women sport shirts, pants, working shirts, khakis, shorts.
What to pay:
Ooo... you have to bargain the best price. I think I got the best price for my shirts....but then again, you may get better prices.
This is a perfect place to pick up silk, mens suits, womens clothing and more. The silk robes are perfect gifts. The "ao dais", a long gown with slits on either side that is the traditional woman's dress of Vietnam, the blouses and dresses where the best I found anywhere in the country or for that matter south east Asia. Ask for Ms. Nguyet Yen. If she still works there you will have an exceptional experience at the hands of a very lovely young woman.
I bought something here for a girlfirend, an ex-girlfirends, a daughter, my ex-wife, my Vietnamese hairdresser and a good friend. All agreed it was one of the nicest gifts I or anyone had given them.
Come on - any time you please six women something is working right.
THe Nam Phan's are a family that also own at least two of the better restaurants in HCM City.
What to buy:
The traditional "ao dai", a long gown with slits on either side
Custom tailored pants, coat or suit
Intimate wear
Silk Robes
Blouses - formal and casual
Anything else that strikes your fancy. Be sure to go upstairs!!!!!!!!!!
What to pay:
I paid about $250 American for mine and I got a lot ( I mean over six high quality items) of stuff.
There are many tailor shops in HCMC, especially in areas like Dong Khoi and De Tham Street that will tailor an ao-dai in 24 hours or less. Yes, at first I was a bit sceptical but how could I resist tailoring an ao-dai for a lot less than what I would pay at home for a blouse?
What to buy:
Get a lovely , tailor -made Vietnamese ao-dai ( say ow-yai ) for USD20 or less. These lovely dresses go for USD10 at Ben Tanh Market but they won't fit you properly as they are catered for the local sizes. I had my Ao Dai tailored at a small shop in De Tham St and it fitted me like a glove. Naturally, I choose Vietnamese Silk as they have a very lovely sheen. Needless to say, drive a hard bargain. I got mine at a US20 or so after I agreed to make 2 suits. Just walk away if you feel that the price is not right. But take this advice with a pinch of salt, afterall, some of my friends have commented that I'm the customer from hell.
Tip update: Though there are a number of good tailors in De Tham St, you can go to "Nha May Cuong" owned by Mr Cuong. He has shops at 59 Ly Tu Truong and at 247 Le Thanh Ton. Best of all, this tailor will escort you to Ben Thanh Market to help you select the fabric first. Another fine choice is Albert Thanh, whose shop is at 22 Vo Van Tan Street District 3.
Note:I'm tempted to remove this tip. Honestly, after I posted this, I received more than a thousand emails asking me how much a tailor-made suit or dress would cost. To be honest, I don't know since I'm pretty much a pret a porter girl when it comes to western dress. I've only tailored traditional dresses like the ao-dai, cheong sum and the kebaya since these dresses need to fit like a glove and will not be available in your average calvin klein store.
What to pay:
Do expect to pay about USD 30- 40 per ao-dai. cp
When in Saigon you must be fitted for an Ao Zai, the Vietnamese Traditional Dress, if you are female. These are very beautiful garments made out of the most wonderful silks. Make sure you demand that they dry clean the garment before you purchase it. An Ao Zai should not cost you more that $25 US dollars. If more you are getting ripped off. Also a lot of these same shops, also have beautiful silk ties available for men for a fraction of the cost back in the US.
T-shirts bearing Uncle Ho (Ho Chi Minh that is) and the Vietnamese Flag are very popular items with the backpacker's crowd. Plenty of stalls are selling them - everywhere - for cheap. Do bargain. You can get them for as low as 6000dongs or less if you buy more. Check for quality though as the quality does varies. Pull the neck especially and make sure they spring back or you will have a lovely evening gown after a few washes. Usually they are made from Polyester or Nylon, and not cotton. I bought some at some stalls near Ben Thanh and the colour washes off. But some I bought from a shop off Dong Khoi, turned out to be pretty good stuff.
Embroidered silk bags, silk scarf
Just as in any other Asian market transaction, tell them you'd buy more than 1 and you'd get a discount.
It's good that there's a price tag for each item. I almost bought the same scarf for 2x its price in Ben Thanh market.
What to buy:
Silk Scarf/pashmina - that you use when you wear your little black evening dress.
What to pay:
Silk scarf/pashmina- $3 for 1 or 2 for $5 depending on quality, good ones can go as high as $8
I have never been to another Asian country, but Viet Nam has a huge black market. You can buy just about any "designer label" items. A large Luis Vuitton travel bag goes for about $35. Channel purse - $5 to 20. Ralph Lauren polo shirt - $4. Shoes are like $5 a pair. You can even buy movie DVDs for about a little over $1. I saw DVD's for "Shrek2" and "Shall We Dance?". Warning, you get what you pay for. Last year, my stepmom gave me a Versace wallet that won't close if you have more than 3 credit cards in it. My brother said that all the buttons on his "knock-off" polos have fallen off. Also, these items can be confisicated by US Customs once you return to the United States (it's call copyright).
When taking a trip round HCMC one of the most "attractive" places that draw lots of attendence of tourists especially women that's is Tailors where u can have a silk or embroidred shirts made , for girls that is Ao Dai.
Ao Dai is traditional custume of Vietnam,it looks modest but still "sexy" hehehe!!!
If u dont believe ,get one and try it on u will see how beautiful ur (for girls only ;)!!!)
U can find such a tailor on Dong Khoi or Le Loi streets or round Ben Thanh Market, but on Dong Khoi it's a bit more expensive,but it's ur choice to have a "good-look" custume.
Saigon is a bargain basement in more ways than one. Clothing is probably cheapest. My companions bought fabric and had several dresses tailor-made. I myself had some suits made for somewhere around $20/each. However, to get the best deal, you'd have to bargain. This is unnatural even for me, who speaks Vietnamese fluently. You don't have to be an expert haggler, but as a rule of thumb shouldn't fall for the first price the vendor quotes. Or the second. Or the third.
Backpackers (known as Tay Ba Lo or "backpack-westerner" in Vietnamese) mostly concentrate in the Pham Ngu Lao area of District 1. Many domestic tourists come here to "see the hippies" :) I saw a street vendor with a stack of reproduced Lonely Planet guidebooks for less than $5 each. Hmm, but I already got my VT!

I recently implemented Dijkstra's algorithm to practice Java. I'm now considering how to build random test graphs (with unidirectional edges).
Currently, I use a naive method. Nodes are created at random locations in 2d space (where x and y are unsigned integers between 0 and some MAX_SPACE constant). Edges are randomly created to connect the nodes, so that each node has an outdegree of at least 1 (and at most MAX_DEGREE). Indegree is not enforced. Then I search for a path between the first and last Nodes in the set, which may or may not be connected.
In a more realistic situation, nodes would have a probability of being connected proportional to their proximity in 2d space. What is a good strategy to build random test graphs with that property?
I will primarily use this to build graphs that can be drawn and verified by hand, but scaling to larger graphs is a consideration.
The strategy should be easily modified to support the following constants (and maybe others -- let me know if you think of any interesting ones):
- MIN_NODES, MAX_NODES: a range of sizes for the graph
- CONNECTEDNESS: average out-degree
- PROXIMITY: weight given to preferring to connect proximal nodes

Many people will, at some time, have perused a seed catalogue. This is the one that probably comes through the door unexpectedly, tempting us to buy multitudes of seeds in packets. The promise of glorious displays of vegetables or flowers in the coming months is very tempting. This kind of business generally does very well. So why not go up to the next stage and try an online service offering already grown trees or plants delivered by post anywhere in the UK? These could be for your own pleasure or maybe intended as a gift. Plants and trees purchased online and sometimes with the option of free delivery is a very popular option nowadays.
An example of a situation where you would need to allow extra time would be if you had ordered plants online to be delivered to addresses in Northern Ireland or the Highlands of Scotland. It is not a problem even to send trees by post to these locations but delays can be experienced, particularly where ferry transport is involved. It is certainly recommended that an extra day or two is factored in to the plan if you want your delivery to arrive by your preferred day. You can be sure, however, that the company will do its very best to make your plants online shopping experience a good one.
Naturally any company will charge for delivery of such orders but the charges are very reasonable and, in fact, you might even get free delivery on some occasions. Top Topiary, for example, will sometimes run a promotion such as orders over 25 are delivered free anywhere in the UK, but this only applies to deliveries from Monday to Friday. Saturday deliveries will attract their standard delivery charge to mainland UK addresses, currently standing at 19.95 per order. Trees or plants by post in the UK on any weekday are usually 4.95 per order. Anyone considering buying plants or trees online should note that the delivery charge is per ORDER, not per item. So, the more you spend, the better value it can be!
The only parts of the UK that you cannot get plants or trees delivered are those offshore parts comprising the Hebridean islands, the Isle of Man, the Scilly Isles and the Channel Islands. The shipping costs and unpredictability of ferry services would make online orders to these locations impractical. In the unusual event that something is out of stock a customer would be contacted and offered a later delivery date or an alternative choice of plants or trees by post. The decision to buy a plant or tree online is a big one and successful delivery, particularly FREE delivery, will guarantee customer satisfaction.

As a father I strongly believed that I had a moral duty to take action and as an artist I wanted to be a humble catalyst.

Is Zillow About to Tank Like Other High-Beta Stocks?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- After the close Wednesday, real estate information company Zillow (Z - Get Report) will report its latest results.
Zillow is expected to post a loss. In a market environment where companies hitting profit marks are experiencing large stock price slides, the prospects for Zillow do not look good.
Current analyst estimates call for Zillow to report a loss per share of 8 cents vs. earnings per share of 1 cent posted in the year-ago report. Sales are expected to grow to $63.2 million, for a 62% growth rate. That sounds great, but it's the lowest quarterly growth rate since the company went public.
A look at the Zillow chart shows serious downside risk to the 200-day moving average, currently at $85.70. Zillow saw this area a mere week ago when the stock fell from $102.50 to $86.87 in one trading session.
Price drops of $15 to $20 occur with regularity for Zillow stock, and today's earnings report is likely to kick off the latest drop. A break below $85 puts the next support zone for Zillow at $70 to $77. A breakout would occur on a move above $111.35, an unlikely scenario in today's market environment. With high-beta growth stocks seeing their shares hammered in recent weeks, Zillow has seen its stock price trade to new all-time highs. Today's report may finally take the shine off this bloated tech stock if the action in other high-flying stocks such as Twitter (TWTR) or Zulily (ZU) have proven in recent days. In Tuesday's earnings report Zulily beat and raised its guidance for the year -- yet the stock shed 17%. Tomorrow may see Zillow finally join the recent tank party seen in many other over-valued stocks. >>Read More: Surviving Whole Foods In a Walmart World >>Read More: Jim Cramer: Alibaba Is an Unstoppable Freight Train >>Read More: Tesla and the Curious Case of Elon Musk At the time of publication, the author owned Twitter but held no positions in any of the other stocks mentioned.

Greene County Bancorp, Inc. Announces Quarterly Cash Dividend
Greene County Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GCBC), today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the continuation of the Company's regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.175 per share. The dividend reflects an annual cash dividend rate of $0.70 per share.
The cash dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 will be paid to shareholders of record as of February 15, 2013 and is expected to be paid on or about April 1, 2013.
The Company is the majority-owned subsidiary of Greene County Bancorp, MHC (the "MHC"), a federal mutual holding company, which owns 55.1% of the Company's outstanding common shares. The MHC intends to seek the approval of the MHC's members (depositors of The Bank of Greene County) to waive the MHC's receipt of this dividend, as well as on any future dividends declared by the Company on its common stock during the twelve months subsequent to the members' approval of the dividend waiver proposal, at a special meeting of members scheduled for February 19, 2013.
Historically, the MHC has waived its right to receive dividends declared on its shares of the Company's common stock, and the MHC has waived the receipt of dividends for the quarter end December 31, 2012, subject to the non-objection of the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted interim final regulations that impose significant conditions and restrictions on the ability of mutual holding companies to waive the receipt of dividends from their subsidiaries. If the MHC obtains approval of its members at the special meeting of members to waive the dividend, it will then seek the non-objection of the Federal Reserve Board for such dividend waiver. If this non-objection is obtained prior to April 1, 2013, the expected payment date of the dividend, the MHC intends to waive its receipt of the dividend.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Ross suspended by Traip Academy
Friday, October 18, 2013
KITTERY, Maine — After more than a decade overseeing the Traip Academy football team, Ron Ross will not be coaching Traip in its game against Oak Hill on Saturday.
But the Rangers are struggling this fall, hindered by low participation, with fewer than 20 players on the team, as has been the case in recent years. |

Very nice artwork. I just wondered how made it digital? Did you scan it and then fixed the black colors in photoshop or something?

CAN WE TALK: Upgrading the supply chain for the common good and greater change was the takeaway at a July 21 panel discussion moderated by Julie Gilhart at Glasgow Caledonian University's SoHo outpost. Loomstate and Rogan founding partner Scott Mackinlay Hahn spoke of his environmentally-minded uniforms for Chipotle and Kevin Cassidy of the United Nations' International Labour Organization touted the upsides of transparency.
Another panelist, Cara Chacon, who is Patagonia's director of social and environmental responsibility, talked about how one of the problems plaguing brands that produce goods overseas is finding out what goes on in the factories, as well as ensuring workers are properly documented. She made the point that when employees are interviewed about their working conditions on-site, workers are usually very nervous to speak openly about working extra hours, child labor, safety conditions.
Through new technology available through the nonprofit group Labor Link, workers are offered cards and asked to call a number to answer a telephone survey about their working environment. As an added incentive, the factory workers are told that they will get monetary credit on their cellphones to complete a 10-question survey, Chacon said. "It's very expensive to have a cellphone overseas so they will get like two U.S. Dollars worth of credit which is like a month's worth of talk time," she said. "But you really get a lot of real data and truthful data that helps you understand the happiness level in the factory or validates something you might be trying to fix in the factory that the management might be trying to hide from you."
In addition to empowering the workers to have a voice with the brands whose products they are making, it helps to verify corrective actions have been done in the factory or to better understand workers' needs.
After polling workers in India, it was determined they needed raincoats for the monsoon season so that they would not get drenched en route to work and would have to spend the day discomforted by their heavy, wet saris. "It was eye opening to learn that all they needed was raincoats or a roof over their motorcycle bikes so that they don't get wet," Chacon said.

Gorgeous garnet, well constructed setting and quality clasp.

I got this for my God daughter's 21 Birthday. she love's it.
Lorna, Franklin, MA – February 2014
It's a pretty necklace. I've never owned one where the stone is fixed in place and the chain is attached to the pendant. The clasp is VERY hard to open. I'm hoping it will loosen up. This a major downside to the necklace b/c it takes time to put it on and kind of hurts my fingers.

Panama City Beach, Florida opens brand new mikvah. Residents gathered to celebrate the opening of a dream. Their very own mikvah. Previously the closest mikvah was in Tallahassee, Fl, a long and difficult drive. Not everyone could take the six hours that it took to make the round trip. But now, with a mikvah of their own, fifteen families committed to embark on lives of taharah.
With some women still having to break the ice for water in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Chabad wants to break ground for a new Mikvah instead.
The Jewish community in Petersburg marked a double celebration - the opening of two most luxurious and state of the art Mikvahs at the Maor Center.
Brand New Mikvah in NYC seeks Mikvah Attendant! Please email email@example.com for more information!
In honor of the birthday of the Rebbe Rashab, who invented the Chabad method of building a mikveh with a double well, a new mikveh was dedicated in eastern Rishon Letzion.

Former congressman Steve LaTourette takes swings at the D.C. crowd
October 18, 2013 2:26 PM
Since he left Congress last December, former U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette has sharpened his sense of humor and his bite. And he was in top form Friday, Oct. 18, at the City Club of Cleveland.
The Republican hasn't been on the firing line during the recent shutdown of the federal government, but the City Club gave him a chance to reflect on the recent actions of his former colleagues, especially those he used to caucus with, along with his friend Speaker John Boehner.
Mr. LaTourette, who before he retired from Congress dubbed Tea Party members as "chuckleheads," started the panel discussion with David Cohen of University of Akron and National Public Radio correspondent Tamara Keith by answering a question from moderator Henry Gomez about the likelihood of a second government shutdown when the current spending authority expires next Jan. 15.
"There is no education in the second kick of the mule," he said, believing that a second shutdowns is unlikely.
Then he vented his frustrations with the Tea Party caucus, calling many of its members, "accidental members of Congress," because they came to Washington without prior legislative experience, riding a wave of discontent among conservatives with President Obama.
"They don't know how to be legislators," he said.

"The control room encompasses the entire 7th, and top, floor. Obviously."
Printable View
"The control room encompasses the entire 7th, and top, floor. Obviously."
"Top floor, like Rina said, are we on the top floor right now?!" Lindsey asked, looking around for anything that looked like a control room.
"You are really starting to annoy me with that word. Your call, Ral."
You haven't called me by my name for many years. It is a good feeling. Now, let's go! Gallade used Teleport.
The top floor lacks hallways. You are not on the top floor. Well, now you are, but...
A young man was tied to a lab table, screaming.
Now we are. And, apparently, we should have made a subtler entrance.
Of course. Hmm, I don't know why there's a subject up here...
Ozias produced his two sword halves, then sent out his entire team. "Everyone, cover us if they attack. I'm counting on you." He cried out in pain as he became a Merge again. He placed the shards of his sword on the ground, and began to use a combination of Psychic and Fire Blast on it.
"You know, I was probing Sandy's mind a bit, and I came upon a valuable bit of information; There is a way to reverse the Merge."
"REALLY!? HOW?!" Mallory blurted out, "Oh, sorry for blurting out again. But seriously, how?"
"A Deoxys-Mew Merge can undo the process. However, The Project never created one, and doesn't plan to." Rina nervously turned away. "I was just making small talk, that's all."
OOC: Oh, you know what I'm in the mood for?
Well that just ruined my hopes of becoming normal again... she thought.
Just a heads-up,I'm telepathic. Okay, so... There's no such thing as normal.
"Well, it's good to know," Sophia shrugged. Ozias then finished his sword, cooling it off with a Hydro Pump. The Merge picked it up, and in a wave of blue light, became part Keldeo again.
"Woohoo! I give my cardiovascular system a very hearty welcome back!" he joked.
"Punning is Nix's job," Kuroi reminded him, "And, for the record, that was terrible."
Nix turned away from the table, right after having cut the guy on the table free. "Huh?"
The young man giggled impishly. "You silly girl. My name is Aramis." Both Helen and the man stated at once.
"Aha! Head of the Project, then! Honour to meet you, sir! We're turning the system off, if that's alright."

Can Deepika Padukone bake cookies? What kind of marriage will Anushka Sharma have: love or arranged? What does John Abraham's bedroom look like?
Are these questions enlightening, inquisitive or plain intrusive? Whatever your answer may be, one thing is clear — they are successful TRP propellers.
Indian television, like most of the country, is unabashedly start-struck. The universally accepted mantra appears to be, "get a star on the show, sell it better".
So while a very 'pristine' Simi Garewal extracts useless information about the actors on her show, Karan Johar uses every trick to extract juicy gossip out of his guests. Johar's strategy worked well, as the last season managed to make news despite not having many A-list stars.
Just as Bollywood stars have invaded fashion runways, replacing top models as the show-stoppers, they are increasingly taking the place of seasoned T.V. anchors too. So what if they are not great at it (Remember Abhishek Bachchan and Govinda)?
Makers of the very popular 'Big Boss' series still depend on a Bollywood actor to host it even though the show's format is enough to grab eyeballs. Kaun Banega Crorepati, though not the roaring success it used to be, still needs an Amitabh Bachchan to sell it. Master Chef's Indian version had Akshay Kumar judge the show!
Regular fodder
Lifestyle channels also use Bollywood as their main fodder. Bollyfood (NDTV Good Times) tells its viewers about the diet of one star every week — from what soup they like to how to make their favourite pasta.
Similarly, various shows on Zoom have the smallest details of what these stars have been up to — which part of the planet they were on yesterday, what clothes did they wear (or did not), who did they fight with and who did they go home with!
Ex-files on Zoom digs out the skeletons from Bollwood actors' romantic past, while Channel V's Behind the Sins and Zoom's Follywood 'inform' the viewers about the mistakes the stars have made in their past.
The list is endless. Are we so star-obsessed that we don't care that we are turning voyeurs?
Do we need to blow out of proportion someone else's faults to make us feel 'entertained'? Not to mention being fooled by apparent publicity stunts by way of "leaking" private information by the stars themselves.
Keywords: Indian television, Bollywood stars

How is Bangkok Centre Sukumvit 25 Hostel rated on other websites?
Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
Centre Sukhumvit 25 hostel's website boasts that it is one of the best hostels in Bangkok, and examining its amenities and credentials, it would appear that this is the case. Certainly, with its well-equipped rooms, handy location, and breakfast at its own on-site Italian restaurant, the Hi hostel promises a lot, but it fails to deliver one important thing: personality.
The great white walls of this hostel appear to be completely devoid of any kind of individuality or personality, but it is not a bad place to catch your forty winks.
Located on Soi 25, near to a Sky Train station and within walking distance to a number of nice bars and restaurants, the hostel itself is on a quiet street. In fact, everything about the hostel is quiet: the "common room" (two couches in a blank white room) is always deserted, and while the outdoor veranda would be perfect for party-animals, we didn't see another guest during our entire stay.
This hostel is not recommended for those backpackers travelling alone in the hope of meeting people along the way. Hermits, however, would probably have a very nice stay indeed.
The rooms themselves are nice; more like hotels than the usual hostelling effort. The dorms are particularly swanky (relatively speaking!) with cable tv, hot showers, a fridge etc. Nicer still are the private rooms which would be quite suited to a three star hotel. Bathrooms are immaculate and well-equipped, and the beds are especially comfortable.
If you choose to stay in Hi Hostel Sukhumvit 25, you may enjoy the bubble of peace and quiet within a city that it always too busy and always too loud, but to say you are experiencing the real Bangkok would be untrue, and sadly, this hostel is about as lively as a funeral. — Stephanie, Scotland (2009-07-29)
Great this hostel is clean, people are friendly and can speak good english, and also very responsible staff. you can keep your valuables in the room and not worry about it being stolen. there is even cable TV. its location is very good as it's near main road if you wanna catch a tuk tuk or a taxi and it's also near the BTS sky train or subway. the staff are very responsible and honest. there is a family mart within one minutes' walk away and there's massage parlours on soi 24 not far away. overall a great place to stay in! — mascherano, singapore (2008-04-04)
Antisocial box. It is clean. That I will say for it. But if you like hostels as a place to meet interesting people from around the world, don't stay here. There isn't even a common area! I hated this hostel. What's more, they don't even provide towels, which would be forgiven if they weren't an HI hostel. but if you're paying that extra little bit for an HI hostel, you expect to at the very least be provided with a towel, not to mention a room for you to meet other travelers. Stay away. — Thurgoode, Canada (2008-03-02)
I loved it. Away from the backpackers' area, it makes you feel in Bangkok. It's really clean, quite, people are friendly. It looked pretty new. Good price. You get a tasty breakfast (included) at the close Italian restaurant Pizza Aroy where people are super friendly as well and the food is excellent. You can decide to have a great meal there at any time of the day. Tha subway/skytrain is close, there's the Soi Cowboy area nearby, if you decide you like this kind of entertainment. Lot of massage shops (ask Luigi from Pizza Aroy) all around. There's even a gym two minutes away if you decide you need sport. — Elisa, Italian (2007-03-29)

The announcement that Paige Rense will finally, finally hand over the reins at Architectural Digest is the coda to an era that climaxed before collapsing into the recent closings of Metropolitan Home and House & Garden. Chintz no longer rules. Nor, for that matter, do dogs, who stood in for that frilly fabric as the humanizing touch in the more modernist spreads in MetHome, as we liked to call it. "Shelter magazines" will continue to exist, but the days when they ruled the domestic market are gone, and Rense had become an empress without a realm.
Rothschild Interiors
In its day, Digest did rule. I only wrote one article for them, back in the early 1990s, but I always aspired to be admitted into that fat "book," or advertising-swollen magazine. Not only did they pay what to me seemed like a ridiculous amount of money for few words strewn among the lavish photographs (not to mention the expense account, of course), but every architect designing houses aspired to be in that magazine. Making it into Digest meant a ride on the gravy train of rich clients, or at least so most designers thought. The pesky little problem was that most of the designers whose work I would want to write about might want to be in Digest, but they did not want to design in such a way as to be natural candidates for the magazine. And, truth be told, it did not come naturally to me to write in such a way that I might find my words in print there.
I did do a lot of writing instead for Metropolitan Home and for almost two decades was listed as a contributing editor on their masthead. For a while, I was their agent from the avant garde, the purveyor of mainly West Coast weirdness. As long as there was a dog in the scouting shots, decent-looking furniture, and the indefinable, but distinct sense of hominess, even the work of the purveyors of Dead Tech or Neo-Constructivism had a chance in that magazine.
But MetHome was an outlier, a magazine that started by showing modern apartments in New York and that wound up surfing the trend toward Neo-W Hotel modernism, only to be outmaneuvered on that wave by such upstarts as Dwell. Over the decades, Digest lorded it over all. It was not the fanciest of magazines (that would be Town & Country), nor was it particularly beautiful in its design, writing, or photography, but it somehow caught what every middle class homemaker wanted to make and the home to which arrived arriviste wanted to come home to.
Architectural Digest
It is easy to make fun of Digest, and even easier to dismiss it as just a decorating rag. But that would be to dismiss the immense skill of the designers who did create the interiors Digest showed. It would also miss the fact that the domestic stage sets on display there were infinitely more successful at creating a seamless, sensual, and sensible environment than most architects are capable of even imagining. You would also miss Rense's not always infallible, but consistent, ability to find the most successful of all these rooms and give them room in her pages. Whomever fills her shoes, and her pages, will have to figure out how to take us home again in a world in which the ceaseless hunting and gathering of an electronically enabled global economy has turned homemakers into homepage keepers and in which Ebay trumps any designer discount.
P.S. For all the Gehry, Libeskind, and Las Vegas haters out there: Wow. I did not know that trying to make a measured assesment of a building could be a task as arduous as arguing for Obama's American-born status in Wyoming. Can't wait to read what y'all make of the above. — A.

Call it a shipping snafu or a "Christmas miracle," but one Amazon delivery mix-up has led to a hilarious Twitter rant that's gone viral.
Reality-TV host Josh Gates ordered a $9.99 T-shirt from the online retailer Dec. 6, but received a pair of hamburger earmuffs last week instead.
Instead of sending me the #DestinationTruth t-shirt I ordered, @Amazon just shipped me hamburger earmuffs. pic.twitter.com/gFa1wUs1mn
— Josh Gates (@joshuagates) December 12, 2013
After that initial pang of confusion and hint of retail rage, the hamburger earmuffs turned out to be exactly what Gates didn't know he needed.
"I was immediately confused because there were hamburger earmuffs looking back at me," Gates told GoodMorningAmerica.com. "I was then immediately amazed and overjoyed by it. They are just so hilarious. Of all the things that could accidentally have been shipped to you, hamburger earmuffs are probably the best thing."
The host of the SyFy reality show "Destination Truth" took to Twitter, documenting his surprise and delight with his hamburger earmuffs, with the hashtag, #HamburgerEarmuffs, and chronicling their journey with him around Los Angeles.
"When life hands you hamburger earmuffs, you make lemonade," Gates said.
Here are some of our favorite tweets:

"I am basically now forcing her to model the hamburger earmuffs for my amusement," he joked.
"Help me Obi Wagyu Kobe. You're my only hope." #HamburgerEarmuffs pic.twitter.com/XfrvjxZgWQ
— Josh Gates (@joshuagates) December 15, 2013
While Amazon offered to re-send his initial order, a "Destination Truth," T-shirt, Gates (politely?) passed.
Amazon: We're happy to resend your order. ME: Sorry, I can't hear you through all the lettuce and cheese. #HamburgerEarmuffs
— Josh Gates (@joshuagates) December 12, 2013
Indeed, he was so taken with them that he even wrote his first-ever comment on the retailer's site and gave them a glowing (and poetic) 5-star review.
"This is my first ever customer review of a product from Amazon. On December 6th, I ordered an XL Destination Truth t-shirt. Today, a box arrived with a set of these Hamburger Earmuffs, or as they're officially called, "Adult Cheeseburger Hamburger Earmuffs Ear Muffs." When I opened the box, I was confused. My first thought was, "this does not look like an XL Destination Truth t-shirt." I'm pretty astute after all. My second thought was, "did someone just ship me two delicious cheeseburgers?" But I quickly realized that these were no ordinary burgers. Trembling, I lifted the twin sirloins to my head. The soft fur of the faux-brioche bun gently cradled my ears, and the layers of genuine felt cheese and lettuce all but muted the sounds of the office copying machine. Proprietary Hamburger Earmuff technology blocked out a wide range of frequencies, and I was immediately transported into a quiescent world of zen-like contemplation. Closing my eyes, I feel deep into thought, deconstructing some of the universe's most mind-bending mysteries such as…ketchup. When I opened my eyes, nearly 9 hours had passed. It was night, and I was alone in the otherwise empty office. But more importantly, I was WARM. The heat from the Hamburger Earmuffs radiated through me like warm, mustard-flavored sunshine. Thanks, Amazon. You may not have shipped me my t-shirt, but you did deliver a holiday miracle."
The shipping mistake was seemingly a win for Amazon, too. The hamburger earmuffs, made by vendor ThatsRad, are now sold out. (Good news, ThatsRad said it is working to restock). The only loser might be the real person who didn't get the earmuffs, making Gates an "earmuff hamburglar."
"Is there somebody somewhere who is holding a 'Destination Truth' T-Shirt right now who is having the exact opposite reaction?" said Gates, who initially ordered his show's T-shirt for a Twitter giveaway.
Gates's Twitter escapades were first spotted by Buzzfeed.com and his #HamburgerEarmuffs hashtag has gone viral since Dec. 12. From gaining a few thousand Twitter followers to the earmuffs, Gates said he really feels like he has come out on top.
"I feel like I won here. Dollars and cents wise, I'm ahead. I just feel like it's a gift. I don't want to return them," Gates said. "[Amazon] would be happy to fulfill my original order. … They have not asked me to return them. They'll have to pry them out of my cold dead hands at this point.
"They are weirdly kind of great. They are warm and fuzzy and kind of amazing. It's a Christmas miracle," said Gates, who even brought the earmuffs with him to on a trip to the East Coast today. "Now, I am going to get to see what they can really do."

China and Japan also dispute an undersea oil field east of Shanghai, while Japan claims the Dokdo islets that are controlled by South Korea.
Beijing also claims the 1.4 million square-mile South China Sea – rich in fisheries as well as undersea oil and gas. In April it entered a tense standoff with the Philippines over rights to part of the ocean. Malaysia, Taiwan, and Vietnam claim all or part of the South China Sea as well.
Then there is the matter of the US being obligated by security pacts or acts of Congress to help defend Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines – all located off the east coast of rising military power and US cold-war rival China. But today the US also needs China, a low-cost manufacturing base and major market for US exports. An open conflict among disputants could throw US trade, shipping, and naval exercises out of whack.

I have a cat. She has been with the family for more than 10 years now and after her second year, her size hasn't changed in the slightest. It would be interesting to know what breed she is, but we got her from someone I never met, I am far too lazy to bother searching, and it may just be an alley cat in the end.
We call her "Nike" since she use to sleep in our old sneakers as a kitten. She is stubborn and likes to hog the bed, so after a few years of struggling and fighting, I finally decided to get her her own couch so she wouldn't keep nipping at my feet. Call it absurd if you will, but who can sleep with that going on all night?!?

The waterproof 5-inch handset is expected to cost around $600 and is equipped with a 21-megapixel camera and up to 256GB of expandable storage.
Edit, share and synch pictures taken on your Android smartphone with Adobe's photographic companion app.
The new SIM-free phones can be activated at the carrier of your choice, starting at $649 for the 16GB iPhone 6.
T-Mobile customers can now pre-order LG's latest G3 flagship before it hits the carrier's retail stores on July 16.
Pricing and availability for Sony's 2015 lineup of 4K TVs has leaked, targeting a release date of May for all of the models and prices from $1,300 up to $8,000.
At last you can order the much-sought-after smartphone, and even get it in time for Christmas.
Many people fear that as they do their holiday shopping, they won't be able to get an iPhone 6. This reminds some of the great 1983 Cabbage Patch Kids disaster.

$60 home movie? Sure, but it's still in theaters
LOS ANGELES — (AP) - Movie studio Universal Pictures and its new parent, cable TV giant Comcast, will test out giving film buffs a chance to watch a movie that is still in theaters from the comfort of their living rooms. But the price tag for a single movie could have consumers spitting out their popcorn: $60.
The test involves "Tower Heist," a PG-13 rated comedy caper starring Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller due out Nov. 4. Subscribers of Comcast Corp.'s digital cable service who have a high-definition TV that live in Atlanta and Portland, Ore., will be able to rent the movie starting Nov. 23 and watch it unlimited times in a 48-hour window.
Studios are looking for ways of making revenue amid sagging DVD sales but want to avoid hurting box office results.

Cowboys CB Jenkins not cleared to practice yet
OXNARD, Calif. (AP)
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Mike Jenkins needs more strength in his surgically repaired right shoulder before he will be cleared to practice.
''I can still do everything,'' Jenkins said Tuesday. ''Just the strength. Everything else was there.''
A day after visiting Dr. James Andrews in Florida for a follow-up on his shoulder, Jenkins said he hopes to be ready for the season opener Sept. 5 at the New York Giants (No. 3 in the AP Pro32). The former Pro Bowl cornerback will have another follow-up in a couple of weeks with Andrews, who performed the surgery in January.
For now, Jenkins will continue to do rehabilitation and conditioning work.
''We felt like the report was good. The timetable they have given him is at least a couple more weeks before he goes back to see Dr. Andrews again,'' coach Jason Garrett said. ''The big thing for Jenks is to continue to get his rehab done, continue to get his conditioning done and try to inch the process along as quickly as he can.''
Garrett said it wasn't a surprise that Jenkins wasn't cleared to practice yet and called it a ''medical decision'' for the player. Jenkins remains on the physically unable to perform list for Dallas (No. 15).
At the start of training camp, Garrett had expressed hope that Jenkins could practice and get into a preseason game before the season starts. The coach isn't sure that will happen, and wasn't ready to make any predictions.
''It's probably guarded optimism, to be honest with you,'' Garrett said. ''We are certainly hopeful of that.''
Jenkins, a first-round pick in 2008 who went to the Pro Bowl the next year, is going into the final season of his rookie contract. It comes after the Cowboys signed free agent Brandon Carr to a $50 million, five-year deal in March and traded up in April's draft to get LSU All-American cornerback Morris Claiborne sixth overall.
Claiborne was working with the first-team defense, but will likely miss the preseason opener Monday night at Oakland. Claiborne has a sprained MCL in his left knee and has been out since leaving practice early Friday.
''We have corners on our roster that we like. Guys who have been with us, guys that we have added,'' Garrett said. ''We don't think Morris Claiborne is going to be out for long, so we are hopeful he gets back fairly soon and can start practicing and playing in some of these preseason games.''

Holy crap this upcoming DLC looks awesome, Miranda will be returning which I can only assume means we might have other ME2 characters involved, plus Robin Sachs (the voice of Zaeed who unfortunately passed away just recently) is also confirmed so it'll be great to hear him one last time.
All in all it just seems like they're really going to be focusing on characters this time around which is what I have always wanted from these games as opposed to the repetitive actiony feel of Omega's DLC; and the mention of new love interest content has me particularly excited (for obvious reasons relating to my mshenko obsession).
Just bittersweet that it's the last one for Mass Effect 3 but hopefully that means they'll really deliver this time.

Quick and Easy Paint Transformations
Quick and Easy Paint Transformations: 50 Step by Step Ways to Makeover Your Home for Next to Nothing
By Annie Sloan, Photography by Christopher Drake
Gifted by CICO Books
Reviewed by Melissa Conner
For the crafty DIY'ers of the world, there's no better feeling than to find an awesome thrift store find and make it your own. Painting and redecorating old dressers, tables, chairs, and shelving units is a hobby millions of men and women share…and with the help of Annie Sloan, paint transformations just got easier…and cheaper.
Quick and Easy Paint Transformations is a great book for bargain hunters and DIY enthusiasts. Filled with tons of projects covering everything from aging and distressing to crackle painting and decoupage, Quick and Easy Paint Transformations takes the daunting fear out of revamping old furniture and provides step by step instructions to achieve several different painting techniques.
I particularly found the chapter on hand painting very useful. Annie Sloan has lots of great ideas on how to add a unique hand painted touch to your furniture. For example, her cow parsley chest project uses a match to create a unique and beautiful cow parsley design on the front of a set of drawers.
That's one thing I really liked about Paint Transformations. Even the most complicated of projects had a materials list that I could easily assemble with stuff I had in my house already. With some left over paint, a few brushes, and an old dresser drawer that's seen better days, you can create something truly beautiful and inspiring with the skills and techniques you'll learn in Quick and Easy Paint Transformations.

It covers the most critical event in his life (I won't ruin this), which takes place in his early years and then jumps to him in his teens and his quest for revenge.My two biggest issues in this movie were#1 The Acting. The kid who plays a young Lector tends to over act and it hurts the performance, of course when put up against Anthony Hopkins, who wouldn't look bad? The woman that plays his aunt also puts together a bit of an awkward performance. #2 The Aunt Storyline. It just seems out of place. It works at some points, but at others it just feels like it could have been done a tad bit better.Overall I would say if you were a fan of the first 3 and have some time to burn go check it out, if not then just wait for it to come out on dvd.
