Great Armoire
Very well made and sturdy. It is the perfect size for any bedroom.Read More
Great piece
This was my first furniture purchase on Overstock and I couldn't be happier. The shipment arrived sooner than expected, no damage to the box or contents, and it was EXTREMELY easy to put together. All you have to do is attach the legs and the top/mirror. It comes with the Allen wrench for the legs and you just need a Philips head screwdriver for the top. It's a relatively small piece, but don't let that make you think that you can't fill it up. I have LOTS of jewelry and I was able to fit everything in it. I especially love the side doors with hooks for your necklaces. Great find, I highly recommend it.Read More
Not Happy
I was really excited to get this item. It came really fast which was great! and it wasnt very heavy in its box. When I pulled all the pieces out of the box to get a look at it everything seemed fine. It all seemed great. Loved the color, the look. It seemed pretty easy to put together. Until I started to look closer.... The screws in the legs ot attach them to the body were not even so you cant get the allotted two screws per leg in. Which wasnt a huge deal. But when I looked a the top of the amoire that has the mirror.... thats when I got upset. The top of the lid on the two sides have a rough not even layer on top of the wood that was darker than the rest of the lid and it was chipping away so you could see a white wood under the stain. It looks like the lid was damaged before being sent to me and someone had tried to fix it before sending it to me but did a ....... job of it. I spent $* dollars on this item and it came to me in less than perfect condition. Luckily contacting customer service was easy and getting the process to get this sent back and refunded started was easy as they emailed me the return lable so I didnt have to wait on it. I ordered four total items and this armoire was the first to come so now I am a little nervous about the condition of my other items. I will jsut go buy a different armoire at the store so I can see it first.Read More

Nice armoire but doors can't hold many necklaces
The jewelry armoire was easy to assemble but as another reviewer stated on a darker stained chest the hooks inside of the doors to hold necklaces are glued to a velvety paper and falls down after hanging too many necklaces on it. I was amazed to come home to open one of the doors only to find the paper falling down along with my necklaces. The piece of wood that attaches to the paper which contains the hooks for the necklaces needs to be either screwed into the doors or glued on with a stronger glue directly to the doors... not too the velvet material. Overall, the drawers to hold rings, earrings, etc serve their purpose and the armoire stands up well. I would only recommend buying this armoire to store a few necklaces since it's obviously not designed to hold more than maybe 5 on each door. Heavy necklaces are better hung or kept elsewhere.Read More
Made poorly
Product has paint chipped off.. Spots that are different colors... Drawers are made very cheap! Overall product is very cheap. Spend money on a better product. Would not recommend. VERY disappointed!!Read More

When you think of treasure, you might picture mounds of gold in an ancient castle vault. Modern-day treasure does exist, however, and you probably have a few precious pieces of gold or silver in your jewelry collection. A jewelry box is like your contemporary treasure chest; you wouldn't leave piles of gold strewn around the house. A jewelry armoire is one of the best ways to keep your precious baubles safe and organized.

If you love jewelry, keep your collection safe with jewelry boxes. You couldn't have guessed that the locket you received for your 12th birthday would lead to a complete jewelry takeover in your bedroom, closet and bathroom. You bought your first bangle bracelet in high school and a collection of sterling silver cocktail rings in college, and now your home is filled with your beloved jewelry treasures.

These jewelry cabinets usually stand on the ground or are mounted onto the wall. Consider these tips when shopping for jewelry box armoires to invest in the best jewelry storage options for your home.
Tips on Different Types of Jewelry Boxes
Keeping your jewelry safe and in good condition requires quality jewelry storage. Jewelry boxes feature a variety of designs; some are dainty keepsake boxes and some jewelry armoires are as large as your bedroom furniture. What type of jewelry case or jewelry organizer is right for you? It depends on the size of your jewelry collection and what kind of jewelry storage needs you have.

As you update and expand your jewelry collection, you'll want to update your jewelry organizer system to match. Jewelry cases feature a variety of styles. Many are beautiful furniture accessories made of oak, rosewood and other fine woods and inlaid with mahogany or mother of pearl. Others have the classic travel-case design, with a carrying handle and leather or fabric exteriors. Use this guide to choose a jewelry box for your collection.

For the first time in three days, Shaye Baker is not leading the Wild Card tournament. Of course, that's very unofficial, but it's got to be disappointing to his family and friends. Still, there's lot of fishing to be done. Three of the top five anglers on BASSTrakk and four of the top eight are from Alabama. I think those guys may want this win more than anyone else simply because the Bassmaster Classic will be on Lake Guntersville, and they really like their chances there next February.

Steve Wright reported a little earlier that Shaye Baker is flippin' a black and blue Medlock jig this morning. I wonder if it's the same Medlock Double Guard Jig that Ish Monroe used here in March of 2012 to win the Elite Series tournament. Either way, that bait has produced a lot of fish and a lot of prize money over the past few years.

It's hard to believe that 470,000 surface acres can fish small for a 49-boat tournament, but it happens here at Okeechobee. As you can see from BASSTrakk, most of the competitors are in the same general area, and during the course of the fishing day they'll likely see each other on the water.
Long before I was a tournament manager for B.A.S.S., I was a huge fan and anxiously waited for Sunday evenings and The Bassmasters on TV. Today, technology allows us to bring the fans so much closer with this live blog and, of course, the BASSTrakk phones that instantaneously bring us "unofficial" scoring from the water. My hat's off to all the marshals that help to make that happen throughout the season. And specifically, I want to thank the Florida B.A.S.S. Nation for their efforts this week.

An estimated 37% of U.S. adults can't swim 24 yards, the length of a typical recreation-center pool, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Adults—including those who are able to swim—make up more than 70% of drowning deaths in the U.S. each year, according to the CDC. Adults may miss out on learning to swim if they come from a culture where swimming isn't widely popular, or they grow up in metropolitan areas without easy pool access. Others are simply afraid—a fear sometimes fostered by overanxious parents or a terrifying incident early in life. Teaching late learners tends to take longer and requires different techniques than those used with children. WSJ's Sanette Tanakabreaks it down to The Wall Street Journal This Morning.
Before the insanity of the school, soccer, dancing and CCD schedule resumed this fall, my family and I shoehorned in a quick trip to Rocking Horse Ranch, in Highland, New York, a tiny hamlet located halfway between New York City and Albany, NY along the Hudson River.

Brownstein: Jim Gaffigan relies on his kids for creativityComedians tend to wake up later in the day than most, particularly after performing the night before. Jim Gaffigan is not like most comedians. The sun has barely risen and Gaffigan is up and ready to schmooze on the phone — and he worked long after the sun had set the night before. Evidently, his five kids don't give him much slack in the sleep department. He rises when they do.

The Story: Cindy was a shy country girl from countryside Georgia until she moved to Los Angeles to go to Nursing School. She outgrew her small town girl ways and become a blonde bombshell.

Ashley is a girl I met at a strip club down in Long Beach few weeks ago. I was there with some of my friends and they bought me a lap dance with Ashley. At first, I was just there hanging out not thinking about "recruiting" but this girl had these moves and was looking so slutty I ended up doing 4 lap dances with her. I told her about my hobby and the possibility of her being having a website and she got really excited about it.

I met Angel back in February but we didn't get together because at that time she had a boyfriend and could only models for girl/girl pictures, etc. She knew I really wanted her and throughout all this time we kept in touch by email.

Simple Tip: Line Cake Pans With Parchment Paper
Like us on Facebook
A couple of weeks ago when I made my half-birthday cake, I ran into some technical difficulties. Although I buttered and floured the cake pan (as the recipe specified), the cake was difficult to remove from the pan. Some chunks of cake ended up sticking to the pan, which did not make me happy.
Normally, even if a recipe doesn't call for it, I line cake sheets with parchment paper. However, this time I was out of it and decided to see if it's really necessary. In my opinion it is: I've never had a problem getting a cake to come out of a pan when using parchment paper. Here's what I do:
- Place the cake pan on top of the parchment paper.
- Trace the outline of the pan onto the parchment paper with a pencil.
- Cut out the shape just inside the penciled line.
- Butter the pan, place the parchment on the bottom, and butter again.
- Follow the recipe to finish the cake.
Do you line your cake pans with parchment paper? Have you ever had a cake that wouldn't come out of its pan?

I have a metal cake pan; my other pans are in storage; can I line the pan with parchment paper? I don't have money to buy a new pan & the storage unit is too far away to go try to find the bakeware

norabora: you can find parchment paper in any regular grocery store in the same aisle as the foil and saran wrap.

I line my tins with baking paper. I've had a couple stick. I just run a knife around the edge and give the base a couple of taps on the kitchen bench, then it usually comes out clean. If I get a bit that sticks the bottom I just ice it upside down!
norabora 5 years
where do you buy parchment paper? i've been meaning to get some for a while.
Spectra 5 years
I have silicone cake pans and absolutely nothing sticks to them, so I don't use parchment on them. I do use it when I bake cookies, though. It works great! I have a coworker who told me that she once tried to re-use the liners of the cereal boxes as parchment paper and it melted all over her cakes. So yeah, you can't substitute that for parchment!
aimeeb 5 years
I've never had this issue either, a little cooking spray and I'm good to go. Yum you could also tip the cake upside down on a rack when cooling and it will come out much easier, I do that all the time as well.

Quick Fixes
Did you hear? The pope has officially declared evolution and the big bang theory to be real! It's a huge, world-changing news story about something no pope has ever done before ... except for Pope Benedict XVI, Pope John Paul II, and even Pope Pius XII back in the goddamn '50s. Yeah. Turns out that's just a thing the Vatican has been down with for a long time, so why all the hubbub?
If we had to guess, the hype probably has something to do with our forever-part series about the media eating its own dick when it comes to minutiae like "fact-checking" and "being the news." Strap in everyone, because the bullshit merry-go-round has begun ...
#6. Listening to Beyonce Doesn't Make You Stupid
The beauty of any dubious Facebook-prone pop culture "study" is that they are satisfying enough to validate people's already-established opinions while inconsequential enough for nobody to actually fact-check. For example, you might have seen the following headline shared across the social media profiles of your brightest, most mature, least annoying friends:
"It's cool. I- uh, actually have Beyonce friends."
While you weren't paying attention, the Christian movie industry has gone Tyler Perry on us and spit out a buttload of movies. In 2014 alone we've seen Left Behind, God's Not Dead, Heaven Is for Real, and the wildly underrated Hey You Guys, Let's Jesus This Town Up! And guess what? Some of these movies have done all right at the box office. Noah, for example, did better at the theater than The Edge of Tomorrow did (and yes, we know-a Noah was from the Old Testament, not Jesus-themed). But you get the drift: religious movies are hot! Or are they?
With 83 percent of Americans and 32 percent of the entire planet self-identifying as Christian, you'd think that movies with an overtly pro-God theme would make perpetual bank. That really hasn't been the case. Here's why you won't see a $200-million reboot of Bibleman any time soon.
Tommy Nelson
You all remember, Bibleman, right? RIGHT?
#4. Too Much Theology Drives Everyone Away
Before we figured out that Mel Gibson is batshit insane, he pulled off something no one thought possible: a commercially successful movie based on the pummeling of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion. Viewers vomited out $600 million worldwide to see a dramatization of the Son of God getting curb-stomped by Romans.
"Bring the kids! Pack some Peeps!"
In an effort to out-hype Marvel's colossal cinematic future, DC and Warner Bros. recently released a calendar mapping out their slate of upcoming superhero films for our dark, brooding pleasure. As a response, Marvel out-hyped DC's super-hype by uber-hyping their upcoming Phase Three -- which will feature Thor's Ragnarok storyline, Captain America fighting Iron Man in Civil War, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Guardians of the Galaxy teaming up with The Avengers in Infinity War: Part 1 and 2, plus Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Inhumans, and a new golden retriever puppy for everyone in the world. Sick burn, Marvel.

"It'll make sense when Inhumans drops."
Hey buttheads, did you hear? The hoverboard is a real thing! Great Scott! Power of Love! Some other Back to the Future thing! It appears the Zemeckis vision of the future is finally upon us, at least according to every Marty McHeadline on the interweb:
Look out for Steven Spielberg's "Help Me Finance 15 Jaws Sequels in a Year" Kickstarter.
For those awful human beings who have never seen the BttF movies, a hoverboard is exactly what it sounds like: a skateboard, except with air instead of wheels. But wait, before you throw your life savings at a crate full of flying future-toys, give us a minute to explain why this whole story stinks worse than a truckload of manure ...

Light Green Mache Seeds?
I saved these seeds from two mache plants I grew over the winter. They look a lot more green than the ones I bought in the original seed packet, but, they totally fell right off the plant so I couldn't have waited any longer to collect them.
I ended up leaving them outside for a day since there were some tiny bugs that fell off the plant with them. The next day the bugs were gone, and the seeds had all turned beige in the sun so I brought them inside.
Has anyone collected them before, and if so, do you think these seeds will be good?
Here's a pic when I first collected them, before they browned the next day:
Hi Aubade,
I've not collected them before, but I'll answer best I can. There are a few plants that make seeds that are ripe and green. Peas are a good example. So it is quite possible they come from the plant that way and are good. The color green does fade with time so purchased seed could be fairly devoid of green even though they came off the plant that way.
I realize bugs that were hanging out needed to go, but having them in the sun though is not good. A spot protected from the sun would of been better. It may not of killed them, but it certainly can shorten their viability.
To check to see if they are actually good, a simple paper towel germination test is all that is needed.

The Anti-Defamation League has urged Urban Outfitters to stop selling a tapestry with a design resembling the uniform that gay male prisoners were forced to wear in Nazi concentration camps.
The ADL complained about the "insensitive" design of the tapestry, which features pink triangles over a gray and white pattern, in a letter to Urban Outfitters CEO Richard Hayne.
"Whether intentional or not, this gray and white stripped pattern and pink triangle combination is deeply offensive and should not be mainstreamed into popular culture," the ADL's national president, Abraham Foxman, said in a news release Monday.
Prisoners in Nazi camps were forced to wear uniforms with inverted triangles of different colors. A pink triangle indicated that the prisoner was homosexual.
Urban Outfitters has faced previous criticism from Jewish groups. In 2012, the retailer sold a T-shirt with a six-pointed star that resembled the Star of David patch worn by Jews in Nazi Germany. In 2008, the company sold a T-shirt with a picture of a Palestinian boy holding a machine gun between the words "Fresh Jive Victimized."

The subject line, I realized, went straight to the point: "The Simpsons go to Auschwitz" — a series of drawings by the controversial Italian artist Alexsandro Palombo, depicting the popular yellow cartoon family as famished inmates of the Nazi death camp.
Marge, Homer, Bart, Lisa and Maggie wearing yellow stars, in striped prisoners' garbs, and undressed in what seems to be the inside of a gas chamber… you get the idea. The "Arbeit macht frei"-sign, the emaciated legs, the fake showerheads — no question, the imagery was painful and upsetting to look at. And the bright, big-eyed cartoon characters with the funny-shaped heads definitely felt out of place.
Well, I thought, let's try to find out what the artist's message is. "We must educate the new generations and tell them what happened," Palombo said, at least according to the email sent out by his press office. And then: "We have to do it without filters, bluntly, over and over again, through the memory of facts and terrifying images that reflect the horror of the Holocaust and the extermination of millions of human beings."
While I agree (and who wouldn't?) that future generations need to be taught about the Holocaust, I don't think that doing it "bluntly" and "over and over again" is the right approach.
January 27, 2015 marks the 70 year anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and International Holocaust Remembrance day. With many of the survivors getting older, for some this may be the last year to commemorate the horrors and loss. Here are some moving pictures of the commemorations from around the world:

(Reuters) — Hollywood director Steven Spielberg said on Monday he hoped that the Holocaust commemorations taking place in Poland on Tuesday will be a warning for future generations, in light of a rising tide of anti-Semitism and intolerance against Jews.
Spielberg was talking to Holocaust survivors in the southern Polish city of Krakow, ahead of the main event marking 70 years since Soviet troops liberated the Nazi German Auschwitz death camp.
"If you are a Jew today, in fact if you are any person who believes in the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom in free expression, you know that like many other groups, we are once again facing the perennial demons of intolerance," the Oscar-winning filmmaker said.
The director won an Academy Award for Best Director for "Schindler's List," his 1993 movie about a German who saved more than a thousand mostly Polish-Jewish refugees during the Holocaust, warned of spreading anti-Semitism.
John Denno
One John Denno, of Liverpool U.K., was given a pretty standard high school history assignment: to illustrate the events of the Holocaust.
Denno took the project to the next level. Instead of drawing the usual stick figure Hitler or putting together a run-of-the-mill bristol board poster (ah, good times), he used pieces from his massive collection to build a Lego Holocaust timeline.
Denno starts out his visual narrative in January 1933 ("Adolf Hitler is appointed Chancellor of Germany") and ends in April 1945 ("Hitler commits suicide"). Though he used mostly standard bricks and figures, he also had to improvise when necessary. According to Pixable, Stalin was "a combination of Chancellor Palpatine, Uncle Vernon from Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker."
But laugh-factor aside, Denno seems to have learned a valuable lesson through this effort. "The biggest thing I realized about the Holocaust through making this project is just how long the persecution went on. From 1933 Jews slowly lost all their rights until they were being murdered in their thousands," he told Pixable.
Not bad for a class assignment.
Check out some of Denno's constructions here:

(Reuters) — A 1914 watercolor by Adolf Hitler to be auctioned on Saturday could fetch up to 50,000 euros ($62,685) given strong global interest, a German auction house chief said on Tuesday.
Auctioneer Kathrin Weidler said the painting entitled "Standesamt und Altes Rathaus Muenchen" (Civil Registry Office and Old Town Hall of Munich) is one of about 2,000 works Hitler painted from about 1905 to 1920 as a struggling young artist.
Asked about criticism that it is tasteless to auction the Nazi dictator's works, generally considered to be of limited artistic merit, she said complaints should be addressed to the sellers - an unidentified pair of German sisters in their 70s.
"Those who want to get worked up about this should just go ahead and get worked up about it," Weidler told Reuters at her Weidler Auction House in Nuremberg, where Hitler held mass Nazi party rallies from 1933 to 1938.
"They should take it up with the city of Nuremberg or with those who preserved it. It's an historical document."
Hitler wrote in his autobiography "Mein Kampf" that his hopes as a young man of becoming an artist were dashed by his repeated rejection by Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts.
"We've had inquiries so far from four continents and the interest in this particular painting appears to be quite high," Weidler said. "The interest has been high from America, Japan and across Asia. I don't know if all these bidders will actually come to the showroom in person. It's possible but the last time we had a painting from this artist, that didn't happen."
Five other Hitler paintings previously auctioned fetched as much as 80,000 euros while others went for just 5,000.
"It's impossible to say how much it'll go for - anything from a few thousand to something around 50,000 euros," she said. The minimum bid has been set at 4,500 euros and 10 percent of the earnings are to be donated to charity.
Weidler said the original handwritten bill dated Sept. 25, 1916 came with the painting and was a rarity for Hitler's art.
But that has raised doubt among critics about the painting's provenance. They recall how hoaxer Konrad Kujauused supposed certifications of authenticity to trick some historians when he marketed what proved to be bogus "Hitler's Diaries" in 1983.
Is it me, or has there been an unusual amount of inappropriate Nazi-themed pop culture lately?
Fans of Nicki Minaj are calling for the singer to take down her controversial new video, "Only You," featuring Drake, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown. With hoards of SS-style troops goose-stepping in an ominously drab fascist landscape while sporting swastika-like armbands, it's more than a little suggestive of the Third Reich.
At the center of all this is Minaj herself, seated on a red throne overlooking her stormtroopers (is she Hitler in this scenario?).
See for yourself:
Of course, the ADL is "deeply disturbed" about the whole thing. Abe Foxman, who is himself a Holocaust survivor, released the following statement:
Nicki Minaj's new video disturbingly evokes Third Reich propaganda and constitutes a new low for pop culture's exploitation of Nazi symbolism. The irony should be lost on no one that this video debuted on the 76th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the "night of broken glass" pogrom that signaled the beginning of the Final Solution and the Holocaust.
It is troubling that no one among Minaj's group of producers, publicists and managers raised a red flag about the use of such imagery before ushering the video into public release.
This video is insensitive to Holocaust survivors and a trivialization of the history of that era. The abuse of Nazi imagery is deeply disturbing and offensive to Jews and all those who can recall the sacrifices Americans and many others had to make as a result of Hitler's Nazi juggernaut.
Alina Voronina from Moscow poses for the contest
Last week, Vocativ reported that VKontakte, essentially Russia's version of Facebook, was hosting a Miss Hitler Pageant.
As one would expect, people got a little upset about it.
Hosted on the site's Adolf Hitler page, the Miss Ostland pageant, as it's officially known, called on women "who hate Jews" to share their most "sexy Nazi pics" of themselves. Admirers of all things Hitler (the page had 7,000 followers) would then vote for the most beautiful anti-Semite in all the land (to see pictures of the main contenders, click here).
Fortunately, people seemed to have regained their sanity, and the contest has been cancelled. Vocativ reports that the page has been taken down. VKontakte's head of public relations George Lobushkin told Vocativ that "loading, storing, publishing, disseminating, making available or otherwise using any information which: propagandizes and/or contributes to racial, religious, ethnic hatred or hostility, propagandizes fascism or racial superiority," violates the site's Terms of Service.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest Aryan of them all? I guess we'll never know.
Danny Green poses for selfie at Holocaust Memorial in Berlin/Facebook
San Antonio Spurs star Danny Green went to the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, where his team was playing an exhibition game. Nothing wrong with that.
He took a selfie amid the stark granite reminders of the millions who died in the Shoah. Nothing really wrong with that, although some might find his pose a bit insensitive, as noted by Deadspin, which first reported the incident.
Then he posted it to Instagram with the caption: "You know I had to do it one time lol #Holocaust." Plenty wrong with that.
To my knowledge, there seem to be only two Hungarian films that address the plight of the country's Jews during the Holocaust.
One is the 1983 gem "Revolt of Job." Now, there's the puzzling macabre "The Notebook" ("Le Grand Cahier") which hints at Hungarian Jews'— one scene shows the Jewish population of a small rural town being taunted by their Hungarian neighbors, another, filmed by an overhead camera, shows men, women and children being herded through a narrow street passage — suggesting cattle being driven to slaughter.
With a cast of characters out of a Grand Guignol theatre piece, one of the few people in the film to show kindness to the film's central characters — real life twin brothers Andras and Laszlo Gyemant — is the town's Jewish shoemaker. Improbably another is a menshlich — and possibly a pedophile — Nazi officer.
Sony Pictures Classic
It's WWII, and the boys have been brought by their loving, doting, cosmopolitan mother to their peasant grandmother for safekeeping. A huge grotesque apparition brilliantly acted by Piroska Molnar she singlehandedly manages a farm set on a bleak barren landscape. You recoil — yet can't take your eyes off the screen — as in a modern day version of the Hansel & Gretel fairytale, the grandmother — aka "The Witch" — works the boys to within a breath of death. Still, the boys, as they had been joined in utero by an umbilical cord, continue to cling to one another training themselves to withstand the often hard-to-witness brutality at the hands of the townsfolk and others. Each day they write everything down in their notebook.
In a rare emotional display they exact brutal revenge for the murder of the Jewish shoemaker who had shown them kindness. Based on Agota Kristol''s best- seller "The Notebook" (Le Grand Cahier) I was stunned by director Janos Szasz's merciless j'accuse showcasing the brutality of his country and landsmen. Perhaps it is intended to validate what I have heard many a Hungarian survivor aver, "I will never again set foot in Hungary!"
In "Revolt of Job" it is a Christian child adopted from an orphanage by an elderly barren Jewish couple — in exchange for two cows —who, in the end, witnesses his adopted parents taken away by Hungarian authorities to what was understood to be their death. In "The Notebook" the ultimate cruel twist is the grotesque grandmother who wins the allegiance of the boys when their mother and later father — separately — –return to reclaim them, holding onto them for her own reasons.
Grippingly filmed by Christian Berger there is no resolution or answers at the end when the twins make an unexpected final decision about their post war future.
In worst idea ever, Zara sells shirt similar to that of Nazi camp inmates. On Israeli site too http://t.co/Kqs3PfXq31 pic.twitter.com/PRuEfn6Wsr— Oren Kessler (@OrenKessler) August 27, 2014
The international clothing chain Zara has apologized for offering for sale a blue and white striped shirt with a six –pointed yellow star on the chest.
The shirt, for toddler boys, is identified on the Zara Israel website as a "striped sheriff t-shirt," but Israelis on social media have called it everything from poor taste to anti-Semitic.
The yellow star has the word sheriff cut out in small letters.
The company has removed the stock from its warehouses and plans to destroy it, according to the Israeli business daily Globes. The shirt also was available on Zara's French, Albanian and Swedish websites.
"We express our sincere apologies for any hurt to our customers' feelings," the company said in a statement.
The shirt remained on the Zara Israel internet site as of early Wednesday afternoon.
In September 2007, Zara removed a handbag with swastikas embroidered in it. The handbags were manufactured in India and inspired by commonly used Hindu symbols, which include the swastika.
In 2009, the Spanish retailer removed Christmas trees from the windows of its stores in Israel after complaints from customers.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Anti-Defamation League made a statement about the shirt.
"The shirt emblazoned with the yellow star is in poor taste and is deeply offensive to Jews and Holocaust survivors. To anyone who knows their history, this kind of imagery should be off-limits. We welcome Zara's recognition of the shirt's potentially offensive imagery and removal from sale," said ADL National Director and Holocaust survivor, Abe Foxman.
How about a side of Hitler with your pasta?
Taiwan restaurant owner Tsao Ya-sin caused quite an uproar when she unveiled her latest Italian special: "Long Live Nazi Spaghetti."
Why the Third Reich theme? Tsao explains that the dish has German sausage in it.
Tsao was also quoted as saying that she just "wanted to get customers attention" — but sharp reprimands from both the Israeli and German embassies in Taiwan was probably not was Ya-sin had in mind.
What's more, the dish has apparently been on the menu since Rock Hill's grand opening — last year. But don't worry: In light of the controversy, the dish has been renamed to "World Champion Spaghetti" — in honor of Germany's World Cup victory.

Robin Williams wasn't Jewish. But he was close.
Though raised Episcopalian in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan (his mother was a Christian Scientist), the comedian had an affinity for Jews which shaped and even defined many of the roles he took on. He used Yiddish, danced a mean hora and did a killer Barbra Streisand impression.
With his death — in the words of Steve Martin (also not Jewish — but, come on) — we have lost a "mensch, a great talent and genuine soul."

A Romanian watchdog on anti-Semitism complained to police about the sale online of an item advertised as a lampshade made of the skin of a Holocaust victim.
The lampshade was advertised online by an unidentified individual from Targu Jiu, located 145 miles northwest of Bucharest, who priced the lapshade at $26,800, the Antena 1 news channel reported on Saturday.
The Center for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism in Romania, or MCA Romania, wrote a letter to the county's police and to Romanian Police Chief Viorel Salvador Caragea to prevent "this despicable trade," which MCA Romania said is "outrageous and macabre."
The group was not able to verify the claim that the lampshade is made of human remains, Maximillian Marco Katz told JTA.
"We will let the authorities to deal with it," he said. "The fact is that the ad is still published so the seller was not bothered by the TV's inquiry of the matter. Even if this is a hoax, the seller should be brought to justice for abusing the Holocaust for personal gains."
Mieczyslaw Weinberg's 1968 opera "The Passenger," which Lincoln Center Festival and Park Avenue Armory co-presented at the Armory, offered a soupcon of "Titanic" vibes with its 1960's Brazil-bound ocean liner's huge white funnel and its first class carefree passengers — elegant in all-white suits and gowns — waltzing to an orchestra's calming beat.
Among the dancers, Walter (Joseph Kaiser), a 50-year old German diplomat and his 37-year old wife Liese (Michele Breedt) who suddenly panics when she recognizes one of the passengers –a former inmate of Auschwitz—at a time when she was a 22-year-old SS Overseer.
The below deck set is a can-almost taste, smell, and touch recreation of a concentration camp setting with women's barracks housing an assemblage of multinational, head-shaved, inmates in striped garb: Polish Marta 34, French Yvette 22, Czech Vlasta 20, Polish Krystina 28, Bronka, 50, 21-year old Russian partisan Katya, 18-year old Jewish Hannah and 25-year old Teadeus, Marta's fiancée.
Performed in English by members of the Houston Grand Opera, directed by David Pountney with Patrick Summer conducting the Houston Grand Opera Orchestra, the program notes inform that the work was "deemed a perfect masterpiece by Weinberg's mentor Dmitri Shostakovich". In the realm of Holocaust re-creation, the presentation of the wretched women with their heads shaved and loose striped dresses "The Passenger" stands alongside the visceral cinematic "Shoah" masterpiece "The Last Stop" "(Ostatni Etap") by Wanda Jakubowska which she shot in 1948 at Auschwitz (using some of the camp's survivors) and the only Holocaust film directed by a woman.
Polish-Jewish Weinberg — who escaped from Warsaw and ended up in the Soviet Union during WWII — never lived to see the opera performed. In the program notes Pountney notes "the Soviets didn't want anything to do with pity for the Jews' anything that did no actively further the Communist agenda was officially condemned as 'Abstract Humanism'" a phrase Pountney noted "used by the Nazis vis a vis Red Cross inspections of the camps.'" Admitting that "The Passenger" is not a modern opera but a "time capsule," he mounted its first full production in 2010 at the Bregenz Festival in Austria."
Liese's brutality to the woman as an SS Overseer is staggering. There is a love sub-plot, but mainly the opera is a musical j'accuse plea. As each woman prisoner sings her lament—the Russian (Kelly Kaduce) opts for a lullaby —the depth of each woman's despair and hope is spelled out in a plea "Do not forget!" and to the fellow women prisoners, the promised: "I swear I will never forget you!
Most likely the nearly 1000-strong audience sitting on the floor-to-Armory ceiling highly raked tiered seats will not forget "The Passenger" operatic voyage.
As Germany hammered Brazil during the World Cup match yesterday 7-1, Twitter exploded in reaction tweets. With a record 36.6 million tweets were sent out during the match, the Germany-Brazil match became the most discussed sports event in Twitter history.
Unsurprisingly a large fraction of those tweets were, well, Nazi jokes.

Walmart has always had a knack for building its reputation as a soul-crushing corporation.
Nevertheless, it is still shocking to find that they are selling a poster with an image of the gate of one of the Holocaust's most notorious concentration camps — Dachau.
Screenshot via Heeb
The description reads "Gate with inscription Arbeit Macht Frei, Dachau Concentration Camp, Dachau" and mentions that the poster "would make a great addition to your home or office." That's right – because why wouldn't you want to be constantly reminded of the Shoah every time you enter one of your favorite rooms?
Heeb reports that some concerned customers complained to Walmart customer service and got some unintentionally humorous responses. One heard back that they "have this product in stock because there are some customer[sic] who like to buy this type of item, but this doesn't mean [Walmart] are supporting any ideology related to this item."
Another heard back that customer service had "escalated this matter to [their] corporation so they can release the nazi related propaganda." Release? Through a bit of inference one can realize that they mean that they would get rid of the posters, but on a touchy subject like this, they should probably rethink their word choice.
Eric Clapton headlined the fifth annual Life Festival in Oswiecim, Poland late this month. Yes, you read that right. Eric Clapton just played Auschwitz.
Well, kind of.
The Oswiecim Life Festival started in 2010, and was created by Darek Maciborek, a radio DJ, who wanted to change the negative associations brought up by his hometown. Because of its close proximity to Auschwitz, Oświęcim, has always carried part of the legacy of the death camp, which was where over 1 million people died, 90% of whom were Jewish.
The Life Festival Oswiecim is meant to combat anti-Semitism, racism and xenophobia through music and the arts. Various Polish and foreign bands play in the festival. James Blunt played in 2011, and Peter Gabriel in 2012. Last year, the festival pulled in Sting to headline.
Clapton preformed the closing number at the festival, which was his final stop on his four-month world tour.
More than 10,000 people came out for the event, which took place from the 25th – 28th of June.

In documentaries and live testimonials, survivors of Dr. Joseph Mengele's "Right [life]-Left [death]" selection at Auschwitz, remember him as exceptionally handsome.
And so is Spanish actor Alex Brendemuhl, who eerily and seductively portrays the toxic physician in Lucia Puenzo's film "The German Doctor." An uncanny Mengele Dopplelganger, Brendemuhl — a Spanish actor working in Germany — had to learn Argentinean Spanish and finesse Mengele's German articulation.
Meeting Puenzo, — author of the book on which the film is based — what struck me was how young (37), tall and beautiful she is. She said: "I need to say that the German community…helped us make this film. All the actors speak [German] by phonetics."
Did they know who Mengele was? "I remember in secondary school we knew who Mengele was, what happened during the war [but] I could not remember one fiction film about the subject in Argentina."
Were members of the German community that helped with the film descendants of the earlier [Nazi] Germans? "No! No!" she was adamant. "These are Germans who had no connection at all…something very delicate for them. There is the misconception that every German in Argentina has to have a Nazi background…. They want to defend the idea that it was not all of them."
Why did she name the little girl— on whom Brendemuhl/Mengele experiments with growth hormones— "Lilith"? Puenzo mused: "I know everything that goes around the name, but strangely, when I began to write the novel, that's the name that appeared. I tried to change it but it came back as Lilith…. certain characters are born with a name."
Was Lilith supposed to be Jewish? "No! No! …but she is a victim." And the Israeli woman, Nora, who suspects the doctor's identity? "She is based on a real live character…. She was a volunteer from the Mossad…They all say she was murdered…. [that] people from the Israeli embassy took her body [from the lake].
Was she influenced by "The Boys from Brazil" in which Gregory Peck portrays Mengele? Puento responded: "I saw the film several times…a very strange film…. what I don't like about that film is the idea of the stereotype…from the moment I wrote the novel — and film — I did not want to stereotype this man as a monster who had the word written across his forehead — but a very complex psychopathic personality….
"For me, most horrifying was that when all these men {Nazis] began to be found in Argentina — forty years after being such a monster — people said [of Mengele] 'He was such a lovely man, such a good citizen!'"
Has it been seen in Germany? The film has been released in 35 countries," she replied. "It's been seen by Germans, but has not been released in Germany."
Currently playing at Lincoln Center Cinemas and IFC Centers. Go see this eerily fascinating film.
I was once of the mind that there is no such thing as a bad "Friends" mashup. I was wrong.
Behold "Reich Friends", a spoof of the much-loved sitcom brought you by Spanish-language comedy collective Marca Blanca. Using historic footage of Adolf Hitler and his besties, Himmler, Goebbels, Göring and Eva Braun, the group recreates the opening credits, complete with "I'll Be There for You" by The Rembrandts (you probably know it as "The Friends Theme Song.")
Hitler's Bavarian retreat, The Eagle's Nest is the new Central Perk. In the wise words of Chandler Bing: Could this BE any more offensive?

How about slacklining? Defined, it's the act of balancing along a narrow, flexible piece of webbing that is low to the ground and usually held by two trees.
The sport originated with climbers. Now it's also done by members of the U.S. ski team, snowboarders, skateboarders and other athletes, says Derick Cole, vice president of sales for Gibbon Slacklines (www.gibbonslacklines.com).
Slacklining combines the mental focus of balancing with physical activity to increase core strength and balance. Gibbons has a fitness-specific slackline coming out in early 2014, Cole says.
"The beautiful thing about slacklining is it's not age-specific," Cole says. "We regularly help people get started who range in age from 3 or 4 to those who are retirement-aged individuals."

While Wong Tai Sin Temple is characterised by its crowds and the lure of money, Chin Lin Nunnery is a haven of Zen-like simplicity and meditation. The superbly restored nunnery was built in the Tang style, which had a strong influence on Japanese architecture. The serene, smiling Buddhas are surrounded by a decor in which every detail inspires tranquillity: pools adorned with lotus flowers, noble architecture, the gentle tinkling of bells, and birds singing in the bougainvillea bushes.
