Although children may not immediately come to mind when thinking about Sargent, they appear frequently in several types of paintings he did throughout his career—in commissioned and non-commissioned portraits and in genre (thematic) subjects. A survey of a selection of these works presents the idea that Sargent deliberately exhibited paintings of children at crucial points in his career to shape critical and public opinion of his art; that his art yielded the uncalculated result of elevating the theme of childhood above that of sentimentality; and that his alteration of the traditional iconography of childhood coincided with new attitudes about children that were forming in Europe and North America. Sargent's thoughts about these matters are not known, and any conclusions we may draw must rest primarily on looking at Sargent's art in relation to the cultural climate in which it was made and the reception it received.

: Elamaram Karim, State vice-president of the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) and the former Industries Minister, has urged the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government "to stop pursuing its neo-liberal economic policies in the light of recession faced by capitalist countries that had implemented liberalisation policies."
Inaugurating a delegate's session of the 19 {+t} {+h} all-India conference of the State Bank of Travancore Staff Union here on Sunday, he said the neo-liberal policies had resulted in a crisis in the agriculture and industrial sectors. Lakhs of industrial units had been closed down and millions of workers had lost their jobs. These economic policies had pushed a good section of the population into starvation and poverty, he said.
Mr. Karim alleged that the Planning Commission was interested in the economic development of the rich and the corporate giants in the country.
He said the move to give sanction to corporate banks would be disastrous to the banking sector of the country.
Inaugurating a public meeting organised as part of the all-India conference on Saturday, CITU State president K.N. Raveendranath said "if the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government did not stop implementing its neo-liberal policies in the financial sector, Indian banks would face destruction as had happened in the U.S."

The Clothed Body
Not available
moreDress is everywhere imbued with symbols that reflect different meanings in different contexts. This compelling book convincingly demonstrates how clothing is analogous to a working language and is similarly underpinned by deeper meanings and philosop hies. From tattoos and mini-skirts, to skin decoration, makeup and hair, Calefato unpicks the multiple functions of modern dress. Exploring intriguing commonalities - for example, between tattooed Egyptian mummies of 2000 BC and modern subcultural st yles - Calefato considers the psychological, cultural, spiritual and symbolic significances at play in what she aptly labels 'body cartography'. What we wear is a vehicle for the (often contentious) expression of politics, gender and identity, placin g clothing at the root of a complex set of messages, many of which are paradoxical. Clothing may, for example, liberate through the pleasures of masquerade and at the same time 'cage' or control the body. The Clothed Body shows how semiotics can prov ide a convincing template for understanding dress in a wide range of contexts and will be essential reading for anyone interested in the meaning of what we wear. less

Annmarie Fertoli, Associate Producer at WNYC
Annmarie Fertoli is an Associate Producer at WNYC, working with the afternoon news team to produce All Things Considered.
New Jersey's first black bear hunt in five years is underway. The state's Department of Environmental Protection says the hunt is part of a larger plan -- which includes public education, research and waste management -- to reduce the growing bear population and the number of complaints against them.
But Angie Metler, with the Animal Protection League of New Jersey, said killing bears won't solve any problems. "In Pennsylvania, just across the Delaware River, they've had record kills of bears in the last six out of seven years. The bear complaints are continuously rising, and the bear population is rising," she said.
Metler believes non-lethal measures like waste management are the answer. "Nationwide, studies have shown that non-lethal black bear management is the only solution that works in reducing bear complaints," she said.
The Animal Protection League of New Jersey and the Bear Education and Resource Group have filed a lawsuit to stop the hunt. The group was denied a temporary restraining order last week. An immediate appeal to the state Supreme Court is still pending.
According to the state DEP, the black bear population in northern New Jersey alone has grown to about 35,000 -- and the number of bear complaints exceeded 3,000 last year.
If people with too much money and not enough taste didn't feel the need to build 4000 square foot McMansions in the woods that were previously the bear's living rooms, we probably would have less bear-human encounters.
all of the bear hunt protesters probably have no clue of what it would be like to have a 400 lb or bigger black bear bust through ur house as an uninvited guest maybe the protesters should talk to those who have before they run their mouths . .. from Dingmans Ferry Pa. just over the bridge
The latest and most appalling black mark on this Governors record is the cold blooded murder of mother bears. Neither the lame "statistics of Mr. Martin nor the Department of Environmental Destruction can hide that this is a thank you to the governor's hunter friends who financed his campaign. This is not a hunt, it a butchery for trophys. Luring bears to their death by baiting the area with doughnuts is the depths of non-sportsmanship..
Bear- human contact has decreased since 2001 as non-lethal methods and deterants have been used. The blood of these innocent animals is on his hands and those of his hunter friends. A pox on both their houses!
All of natures animals are under attack because of human encroachment on their territories.Bears need ample protection with reserves that are strictly enforced.Maybe we should have bounty hunters and control this human population.

"It's great that the breast-feeding rates have gone up," said Shu, "but it's hard to know whether that improvement was because of the new policy or because the staff is now spending more time educating new moms about the benefits of breast-feeding."
For those who cannot breast-feed for medical or other reasons, formula is an "excellent alternative," she said.
"Low-income families who choose formula but are unable to afford it may end up feeding their babies unhealthy alternatives, such as water, juice or cow's milk," said Shu. "Having free samples available until these families can get on WIC [the Women, Infant and Children program] or otherwise find the finances for formula can save infant lives."
New York's Health and Hospitals Corp. said it would continue to make formula available for women who request it or are unable to breast-feed for medical reasons. Only 24 percent of the city's babies are discharged exclusively breast-feeding.
"From my perspective, that's a bogus argument," said Alan D. Aviles, head of the city's Health and Hospitals Corp., to The New York Times. "The reality is that there's nothing cheaper than feeding a child breast milk."
But in a society that provides little support for breast-feeding, the issue takes on larger political ramifications, according to Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women.
"There is no question that breast-feeding is better for babies and actually has some benefits for mother as well, but we as a society make it very difficult — and removing free formula coupons from [a] postbirth swag bag doesn't address those barriers," said Gandy.
"It sends a good message, but it doesn't make other options easier or possible for women," she said.
Most companies still only grant women 12 weeks maternity leave — barely enough time for mother and baby to bond or to establish a good nursing regimen, according to Gandy.
More than 60 percent of mothers of young children work. Only a third of large companies provide a private, secure area where women can express breast milk during the workday and only 7 percent offer on-site or near-site child care, according to a 2005 national study of employers by the nonprofit Families and Work Institute.
"We are saying you're a bad mom if you don't breast-feed, but we are going to make it impossible for you," she said. "It's a big guilt trip with nothing at the end."
The debate rages on and mothers are caught in the middle.
Freelance writer Ronda Kaysen just gave birth to her first child in Mexico and has been fighting a different kind of social attitude.
"Here they pressure you to formula feed," said Kaysen. "Wealthy women bottle-feed and poor women breast-feed. My friend who is a college professor and plans to have children is horrified I am breast-feeding."
Kaysen struggled to prevent the Mexican maternity ward nurses from giving her baby boy sugar water or bottle formula. She even switched obstetricians to find one who would support her decision to breast-feed.
Still, she understands the complexity of the choice women have to make.
"I think it is a personal decision," said Kaysen. "To me it seems like the easiest thing to do. Bottle-feeding just seems like so much more work."

The current it K-pop boys are taking the world by storm.
With 17 music videos, a European tour and a record for the highest decibel levels ever reached at the Le Trianon theatre in Paris under their belts, it is hard to believe that South Korean boy group Teen Top has only been in the industry for three years.
They made their debut under a record company founded by Andy Lee of legendary K-pop group Shinhwa, and members C.A.P, Changjo, L.Joe, Ricky, Niel and Chunji went on to release their first single album Come Into The World.
At the time of the release, oldest group member and leader C.A.P was merely 17, with the youngest member, Changjo at 14.
As the member's ages were revealed, fans began debating whether they were too young to be making their debut in the industry.
Nevertheless, the boys were unstoppable as they heated up their debut stage on MBC's Music Core, receiving positive reviews for their performance.
With a powerful debut and a growing fan base, Teen Top was quick to release their next single Supa Luv, a track originally written in English but translated to Korean.
Adding on to their dynamic year, the group was then featured on French TV show Le Grand Journal, where their single Supa Luv was shown as part of a section where they introduced three countries with three different musical performances.
The screening of the video was then followed by a discussion as to whether or not the groups shown could be a potential hit in France. While the other videos were harshly criticised, Teen Top's video received highly positive feedback from the panel.
On July 21, 2011, Teen Top released the first preview of their single No Perfume On You from their EP album, Roman.
During the promotional period of the album, Teen Top came down to Malaysia and took to the stage with acts like Park Jung Min, U-KISS, FT Island and 4minute as part of the Korean Music Wave 2011, held at Stadium Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur.
Needless to say, their Malaysian fans were delighted by the show, as the boys performed hits such as Clap, Supa Luv and Angel in front of an enthusiastic crowd.
Continuing on their incredibly successful streak, Teen Top released their second mini album, produced by the Brave Brothers, entitled It's in January last year.
The album peaked at number four on the Gaon Monthly album charts, and the first single Going Crazy became the most downloaded ring tone in Korea, beating out girl group T-ara's Lovey Dovey.
However, their biggest breakthrough came later in February as the group won their first ever K-Chart award on Music Bank, setting a record for the youngest group to have ever won on a music program.
Since then, Teen Top have been touring actively, including stops in Japan and Europe.
The five-city European tour was announced at the end of last year with dates scheduled for Munich, Dortmund, London, Paris and Barcelona. They hit the road in Europe on their very own tour bus.
Response to the tour was generally good, especially in France where the tickets were sold out almost immediately.
Once back in Korea, Teen Top hit the ground running with the pre-release of their song I Wanna Love along with a music video.
The song was well-received among fans, most of whom had been eagerly anticipating their return to the K-pop scene. The song reached number one on the Cyworld and Bugs music charts.
Coinciding with the release, Teen Top became one of the most searched phrases on Korean search engine Naver.
To the joy of many of their fans, the track list of Teen Top's first full studio album was released earlier this month ahead of its release last Monday.
The hype was further fuelled by the announcement that there would be a limited edition of the album, which would come with an 80-page photo book, photo cards and a large sticker picture.
Based on previews of their music videos, the boys seem to be transitioning to a more mature sound and image.
The video preview was split into two parts – the first one featuring C.A.P, Changjo and L.Joe, and the second featuring Ricky, Niel and Chunji.
Finally, on Feb 25, the album was released, and it was titled No. 1. The band travelled all the way to France to shoot material for the album jacket.
The music videos for I Wanna Love and Miss Right were also shot overseas, helping them to expand their fan base beyond Korea and Japan.
With age not being a limiting factor, Teen Top surely has a very bright future in the entertainment industry, having only made their debut three years ago and already accomplishing more than what many veteran artistes have.
Although the group has not officially performed Miss Right on an official music programme yet, many fans are expecting that No. 1 will live up to its name and top the K-charts.

YSL's L'homme
The title says it all. Obviously these frags are a bit different. La nuit de l'homme is better for night time. Which is your favorite of the two? State your reasons why.
Last edited by Isaac; 10th March 2012 at 11:54 PM.
YSL's L'homme
La Nuit is the better of the two imo
if l'homme is a 10(smell), la nuit wud be a 9 + 3-4 hours more longevity, i personally chose la nuit
la nuit de l'homme
La Nuit for me
L'homme. More versatile IMO.
L'homme but the longevity is not very great
L'homme. The longevity is fantastic and the scent is so much more enjoyable.
Both !
L'Homme for daytime at the office, lasts for 6-7 hours on me
La Nuit for evening/night time wear, lasts for 8-10 hours on me
Claus The Danish Viking
L'Homme, It's so versatile, and I get 12 hours longevity.
L'Homme has the better and more versatile scent but it is short lived. You can compensate that by spraying more.
La Nuit smells nice from the bottle but it lacks the development I was hoping to experience. Smells synthetic on my skin.
Damn ... Both are my babies. Absolutely love both. But if I could keep one, it would be La nuit.
I like both! but if I had to pick one it would be La Nuitt.. Better longevity and gets me compliments whenever I wear it.. I love it!
I gave away my bottle of L'Homme. It's nice, but boring to me. I have La Nuit De L'Homme and I find it to be more interesting, more intriguing, and more romantic.
"I am a robot and I like cheese"
Top 5:
1. Axe Kilo
2. Lectric Shave
3. Vicks Vapor Rub
4. Febreze Pour Homme
5. Preferred Stock
Both are great but I would have to go w/ L'homme if I had to pick, just by a hair though!
Do you want interest and compliments from women? Buy La Nuit
If you don't-buy L'Homme
I think L'Homme much better.
I have samples of L'Homme and after several tries, it's definitely not for me. So at first, I was a bit skeptical about his flanker, La Nuit, and didn't rush to try it. But when I sniffed it at the shop, I bought it the next time I went there.
La Nuit is very good juice, however I wouldn't recommend it as a daily basis fragrance, it could be too loud in some situations.
Top 3 : Jaisalmer | Bulgari Black | Body Kouros
La Nuit for me. Although L'Homme is more versatile, La Nuit is better choice in terms of longevity and its a good evening scent
Current Top 5:
1. Frederic Malle L'eau d'Hiver
2. Tom Ford Noir de Noir
3. Dior Homme / Dior Homme Intense
4. Thierry Mugler A*Men Pure Havane / Pure Malt
5. Creed Aventus / Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
Own both and like both equally. They each have their pros and cons, with L'homme the smell is magnificent IMO, you will like it and others around you will also, that is for a few hours. The longevity/projection is very poor. La Nuit gets tons of compliments and lasts very long but the scent to me is very boring and wouldn't wear it for my own benefit particularly
Well, ive only smelled the opening of l'homme, and I find it simlar to La nuid de l'homme. I however, love the dry down of la nuit. To me its a little earthy.
Go for which ever you prefer, they're both decent frags.
If possible, a small bottle of each might be a good idea.
Another one for La Nuit.
Re-reading all the posts, I can see the L'Homme and La Nuit complement each other. Why not get both, layer them together and be done with it? :-P
L'Homme. Of all my fragrances this one has gotten me the most compliments. I've been thru 2 bottles. I use to wear it all the time.
The one I have is actually from 2008 I'm not sure but it smells like it may have become a lil rancid smelling. Its only maybe 10-15 squirts left so I will be sampling this at Macy's to see if mine has turned rancid or if my nose may be a little turned off by it.
When I tried La Nuit I didn't care for it as much.
I dislike both of them equally.

Both are kinda boring to me but La Nuit's the less boring of the two.
I'd pick La Nuit but the two girl opinions (my girlfriend and my sister) that I check for every fragrance I try both vastly preferred L'homme.
love both. L'homme is more versatile as mentioned. I sniff the hell out of myself whenever I wear either.
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Creed Silver Mountain Water Creed Millesime Imperial
Gucci Pour Homme II YSL La Nuit de L'homme Versace The Dreamer
Burberry London YSL L'homme L'occitane Eau Des Baux
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie

9) X for Men (Clive Christian) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
Definitely La Nuit de L'Homme, L'Homme smells like hairspray to me...
Both are amazing. Honestly I cannot pick one over the other. I would say L'homme for daytime and La Nuit for night time.
Why not look for a deal on both? Or buy one 60ml of each instead of the 100ml of just one for a bit more.
Top 5 Favorite Fragrances:
1) Creed Aventus
2) Creed Millesime Imperiale
3) Kiton Black
5) Gucci Pour Homme II
I'd get both. Both have certain subtlety, trendiness and finesse which would genuinely stand out, once worn
Ehhh. La Nuit. Barely.
"The most beautiful sea hasnt been crossed yet. The most beautiful child hasnt grown up yet. The most beautiful days we havent seen yet. And the most beautiful words I wanted to tell you... I havent said yet "
-Nazim Hikmet Ran
YSL L'homme. La Nuit is a little too dark for me.
Does the La nuit come in perfume and toilette version. if so which is better in terms or projection and longevity?

Arizona Coyotes
Phoenix Coyotes unveil new ticket promotion
The Phoenix Coyotes unveiled a new ticket package promotion called "GOALden Ticket" on Thursday.
The packages are in the lower level, which are usually priced at $75 per ticket. To be considered "golden", the first plan starts at $100.
According to the Coyotes, "A fan will receive five goals on their GOALden Ticket. Beginning on March 9 versus the Dallas Stars, fans will be able to see up to 10 Coyotes home games until the team gives up five goals at Jobing.com Arena. Once that happens, the GOALden Ticket is void."
The second package will give fans 25 goals for the price of $250. After the Coyotes give up 25 goals, the ticket will be void.
If the Coyotes record a shutout during those final 10 regular season contests, fans with GOALden Tickets will get a ticket to Fan Appreciation Night on April 26 against the Colorado Avalanche.
The ticket plans will go on sale to the public on Monday, February 18.

Diagnosis of Sturge-Weber Syndrome
The diagnosis of Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) depends on numerous factors. One of these is a facial port-wine birthmark, which is a type of vascular birthmark. Vascular birthmarks are caused by larger-than-normal blood vessels under the skin, and can appear pink or dark, flat or raised, which partially depends on age. Similar abnormalities in brain blood vessels can usually be detected by MRI, and this is the basis for diagnosis of Sturge-Weber brain involvement. When eye involvement occurs, such vessel abnormalities in and around the eye can cause increased eye pressure, which may lead to glaucoma.
Many patients diagnosed with Sturge-Weber have a combination of two or more of these skin, eye, and brain criteria. A few patients only have brain involvement, which is called the "isolated intracranial variant of Sturge-Weber syndrome." Those with a suspected diagnosis of Sturge-Weber syndrome should seek neurologic, ophthalmologic, and dermatologic evaluations, which examine the brain, eyes, and skin respectively. These and other evaluations are recommended to confirm a Sturge-Weber diagnosis and to screen for associated complications.

A massive fire broke out at a plastic scrap market in Nangloi here on Sunday. No one was injured.
The fire broke out in the early hours in the market, locally known as "PVC Market Mundka", and rapidly spread across an area of one square kilometre, engulfing heaps of plastic waste material lying around.
"We received a call around 2 a.m. saying that a fire had broken out in the scrap market in Mundka. More than 40 fire tenders were rushed to the spot in view of the seriousness of the matter. It took them over seven hours to bring the fire under control," said a Delhi Fire Service Department official.
The official said no one was injured in the fire as it took place in an open space and away from the residential area.
On why it took them so much time to control the fire, the official said the material on fire was plastic. "Even after the fire is doused, the plastic smoulders for several hours causing smoke. The process of cooling takes seven to eight hours," the official said.
Five fire tenders were at the spot till late in the evening.
The police said the cause of fire was not immediately known. Ruling out the possibility of the fire having been started by miscreants, Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Sharad Agarwal said: "We have not come across any such thing in the investigation. No such complaint has been received so far. No FIR has been registered."
The incident came a day after huge export consignments of handicraft products, garments and several other items worth several crores were gutted in a fire at Inland Container Depot in Tughlakabad on Saturday.
Four incidents
Four persons, including a three-year-old girl, had sustained burns and two expensive cars were gutted in four incidents of fire in the Capital on April 2. One of the incidents had taken place at the residence of former Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan on Janpath.

Probably in a sexily way, knowing her.Wilde will play Ella, a woman who joins Craig's gunslinger in the uprising against an alien invasion. Shooting is expected to begin this summer.

Q&A: What will candidates do on college costs?
President Barack Obama has rallied college students at dozens of campuses, touted his record on student aid and needled Republican challenger Mitt Romney for advising students to "borrow money if you have to from your parents." Romney counters that despite the flood of federal financial aid unleashed during Obama's term, college costs and student debt have only grown.
The debate over rising college tuition is a microcosm of the broader debate over the economy: Obama argues he's taken bold steps that minimized the damage of a deep recession and will build for the future. Romney says the president's big-government interventions have backfired, and more private-sector solutions are needed.
Here are some questions - and answers - about the complicated landscape of college costs and the presidential campaign.
Q. What's happened to college costs under Obama?
A. They've gone up - a lot, at least at four-year schools. Since the 2008-2009 academic year in which he took office, the average public four-year college has increased its tuition list price 26 percent (beyond overall inflation). That's an increase of about $1,800, to $8,655, according to figures released Wednesday by the College Board. However, costs have been going up since long before Obama took office, and his term coincided with unprecedented college funding cuts by the states, which are spending 26 percent less per student on higher education than five years ago.
Largely because of a massive increase in federal aid under Obama, the net price - what the average student pays after accounting for grants and tax credits - has gone up considerably less than the sticker price. The net price is $2,910 this year, or $570 more than the year he took office. At community colleges, aid covers on average all costs.
Q. Can either candidate do anything about the increasing prices colleges are charging?
A. Both say they'll try. Obama has proposed a $1 billion "Race to the Top"-style contest to reward states for reforms, and said he could cut off aid to colleges that don't take steps to improve productivity. He's called for working with the states to cut tuition inflation in half within 10 years. A Romney campaign paper says Washington will no longer write a "blank check to universities to reward their tuition increases" and to support schools pursuing new models to drive down costs.
But the debate mostly concerns the enormous mix of federal aid programs for students, which will disburse about $175 billion this year in the form of grants and loans.
Q. What's Obama's record on student aid?
A. Obama can rightly claim he's transformed the federal financial aid system. Partly that means more money - Washington is on track to disburse almost $50 billion more this year than in 2008-2009. Spending on Pell Grants for low-income students has nearly doubled to about $35 billion, supporting about 10 million students, up from 6 million when he took office, and he successfully pushed Congress to postpone a scheduled doubling of the interest rate on subsidized Stafford loans.

The Kickdrums ft. GLC - Colors (Remix)
Artist: The Kickdrums
Featuring: GLC
Producer: The Kickdrums
Album: Meet Your Ghost
Avg Rating: 2.5 ( 6 votes )
Sometimes when an artist or group puts out an album, as the music begins to age, they become consumed with thoughts of what they could have done differently. This seems to be the atmosphere that has taken over The Kickdrums as they decided to remix their song Colors from their album Meet Your Ghost. This particular remix is more about addition than it is about deconstruction as they add a verse from Chicago's GLC, which reaches backwards to their Midwestern hip-hop roots. The original track itself is a fantastic electro indie rock jam, but with the addition of GLC's verse, the song goes in a direction that will make the standard hip-hop fan pleased while still allowing the hipsters to enjoy the 808 bass drum break down. As genres continue to merge and music moves further into a post-genre world, remixed records like Colors will become more common place and enjoyed by the masses. If you're feeling this re-creation be sure to check out a full stream of Meet Your Ghost right here.

Tea Tables
I've been working on a story for the magazine about coffee tables. At the same time I've been devouring every minute of the ITV/PBS costume drama Downton Abbey.
Of course you don't see any coffee tables at Downton Abbey. The drawing room (above), is devoid of the low monolith that acts as the central axis for virtually every furniture arrangement in a modern home.
Coffee tables were few and far between before the Great War. They didn't become a fixture in every home until well into the '20s. What you see instead are tea tables. So many tea tables. Every conversation worth anything on that show takes place over tea served by one of the faithful "downstairs" characters from a tea table. Most tea tables are oval or round and about 29 or 30 inches high. Some are small in diameter — about 24 inches — so that they can be moved around with ease. Some are larger in diameter and have a tilt-top table, so that when they're off duty, the top is tilted up and the table moved to the side of a room. I love a tea table and am happy to join the ranks of those heralding its revival.
Cora, the Countess of Grantham, takes tea in her boudoir served from a petite tea table by O'Brien, her scheming lady's maid.
At Crawley House, where Mrs. Crawley and Matthew Crawley live, the butler Molesley serves tea from a table that remains positioned along the wall.
Matthew, with his middle class uncouth ways, helps himself to tea. Molesley looks on, incredulous.
At Lady Grantham's, home tea service takes on a decidedly more formal character, with tablecloth and accoutrements to match.
One of the most ardent supporters of the tea table in contemporary interiors is Washington, DC, designer Darryl Carter. While I feel sure he'd get hives at the fusty remnants of Victoriana seen in Downton Abbey, he loves a tea table and regularly uses them either in concert with a coffee table (above) or in place of one.
I recently spied this 18th century American tea table (left) on 1st Dibs. It's a Chippendale carved walnut version with a pie crust top, 29" high by 29" in diameter, from Arader Galleries in New York. So pretty. And a contemporary version (right), The Hudson from Hickory Chair. This one is 30" high by 35" in diameter. I love its satiny finish and how the stripe detail punctuates the design.
I've experimented with a tea table as an alternative to a coffee table, too. Here's one in my Toronto living room. It's a small room so I like how the height makes the room seem less crowded with furniture than a lower coffee table does.
I'm in the process of decorating the living room at our weekend place in Tweed, Ontario (hence the lack of window coverings), so I'm not sure if this lovely antique tilt-top table will stay in place, but for now I love it here. It's fun to switch up the accessories on top. Usually I keep it simple — one large design book, a magnifying glass and a decorative box. In spring, summer and autumn I add flowers or branches from the garden.
For more table ideas, see our Traditional Living Rooms photo gallery.

And that is not the only place Eminem is number one this week. His incredibly popular current album single "The Monster (featuring Rihanna)" just hit number one on the Billboard charts, meaning that Eminem now ranks as the rapper with the most number one pop singles (a total of five). Meanwhile, the new album's first single "Berzerk" is a nominee for best rap performance in the upcoming Grammy Awards as announced by the organization last Friday. Furthermore, the Eminem song is being used in advertising for the Jan. 26, 2014 Grammy ceremony. However the full The Marshall Mathers LP2 is not eligible for a trophy in the 56th annual show because of the timing of its release.

More on it in the weeks ahead here on the Amoeblog. Another new release this week is DJ Mugg's Bass For Your Face on Ultra Music which finds the longtime hip-hop production talent venturing off into some electronic territory in addition to straight up hip-hop beats and includes cameos from a nice mix of talented emcees including Public Enemy's Chuck D, Dizzee Rascal, Freddie Gibbs, Danny Brown, and Roc Marciano.
Oakland emcee sOul recently teamed up with fellow Oaklanders Crown City Rockers members Woodstock and Headnodic to write and record a tribute to the influential late great Gil Scott-Heron. Simply titled "Gil Scott Tribute" the song was recorded in one take (captured in the video above - a video blog session recording with Headnodic who mixed the track) and features Woodstock playing the beat live on his MPC and sampling Gil Scott Heron's "We Almost Lost Detroit" (off Gil Scott Heron & Brian Jackson's 1977 album Bridges) as well as recreating previous hip-hop interpretations of the original sample. Intricate stuff, and it works nicely too, with sOul on the mic spitting socio-political commentary along personal life monologue.
The song was recorded simply as a tribute to Gil Scott Heron and is not for sale but available as a free download here. Gil Scott Heron, who died at age 62 in May 2011, has been called the "godfather of rap" - a term he himself dismissed, preferring to label himself a "bluesologist." After the artist's sudden death a couple of years ago Chuck D of Public Enemy saluted Scott-Heron as a highly influential figure saying, in a heartfelt tribute to the man, that, "We do what we do and how we do because of you!" I agree with Chuck D as to the impact on hip-hop and music in general that Gil Scott Heron has made.
Antonino D'Ambrosio's documentary Let Fury Have the Hour opens at the Balboa Theatre (3630 Balboa St., San Francisco) on January 18th, 2013. It's a one-week-only exclusive engagement, so you won't want to miss it! Plus, opening night features a live performance by Sean Hayes and a Q&A with Hayes and director Antonino D'Ambrosio after the 7:15pm show. The following night's screening (Saturday, Jan 19th) features a Q&A with director Antonino D'Ambrosio and Boots Riley after the 7:15pm show.
Featuring interviews with Shepard Fairey, Chuck D, John Sayles, Lewis Black, Eve Ensler, Tom Morello, Ian MacKaye, Billy Bragg, Edwidge Danticat, and Suheir Hamma, Let Fury Have the Hour is a charged journey into the heart of the creative counter-culture in 2012. In a time of global challenges, big questions and by-the-numbers politics, this upbeat, outspoken film tracks the story of the artists, writers, thinkers, and musicians who have gone underground to re-imagine the world.
Writer/director Antonino D'Ambrosio unites 50 powerful, of-the-moment voices who share personal and powerful tales of how they transformed anger and angst into provocative art and ideas. Mix-mastered with historical footage, animation, and performances, D'Ambrosio presents a visceral portrait of a generation looking to re-jigger a system that has failed to address the most pressing problems of our times . . . or human potential.

MANILA, Philippines–The Moro Islamic Liberation Front on Friday said that the composition of the members of its Transition Commission, which would work on the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law, would be "well-balanced and representative of the major blocs of the MILF and tribes in Mindanao."
This was according to MILF Secretariat chair Muhammad Ameen, in a statement posted on luwaran.com, the official website of the MILF Central Committee on Information.
The government and the MILF will select the 15 members of the commission–eight will be chosen by the MILF and seven by the government.
The TC will work on the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law based on the comprehensive peace agreement to be completed this year.
The comprehensive peace agreement is comprised of the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro and the annexes to the Framework on power sharing, wealth sharing and normalization.
The Framework Agreement, which outlines the general features of the political settlement between the government and the MILF, was signed in Malacañang last month.
The peace panels hope to complete the annexes in their next round of formal talks in Kuala Lumpur in December.
Ameen said the MILF's members in the TC would include one woman and one member of the indigenous tribes.
He also said that the MILF had its own selection committee which did not allow "recommendations" to be made so as not to "disrupt" the MILF's selection process.
Ameen said that the MILF's selection committee considered only two qualifications for the nominees to the TC.
These were "dedication, commitment, and loyalty to the cause" and having the "capability to discharge the duties and responsibilities required of the job."
According to Ameen, the second criterion was "indispensable" as it included "the experience in various engagements in the MILF-led struggle."

Seneca sophomore Tyver Butler took matters into his own hands as the Golden Eagles came away with an 11-10 overtime win against Clearview on the first Friday of the high school lacrosse season. Butler's game-winner came midway through the first and only 4-minute sudden death overtime period.
Dan O'Keefe led the Eagles with four goals and two assists, the final helper coming on Butler's first career goal. Kevin Gray, Nick LeSaint and Ryan Bradway each scored twice in the Olympic Conference Patriot Division win.

Top 10 owners you'd want running your favorite team
The best kind of NFL owner is the kind who either 1.) melts into the scenery while allowing his football decision-makers to make all the right decisions, or 2.) steps out as the front man of a team --- and in some ways, of a city -- that is successful because, dammit, his biggest passion is winning.
Conversely, the worst kind of NFL owner is the one who either 1.) makes himself front and center but either doesn't make the right personnel decisions or hamstrings the people who are supposed to be doing so, or 2.) is the kind of front man who's loud, boisterous and, ultimately, unsuccessful.
We examine the first kind of owner -- the kind of owner you'd most want running your favorite team. This isn't necessarily the best front office in the league, because you can have a front office that has done well at times for an owner who often doesn't do right by his city. A guy like Cincinnati's Mike Brown comes to mind. Or, on the other hand, you can have an owner whose teams haven't been all that good lately but whose passion to win still can galvanize a fanbase. I'm talking about a guy who's a slightly more successful, slightly less obnoxious Jerry Jones.
If I were a fan, these are the kinds of owners I'd want in charge of my team.
10. Pat Bowlen: Since taking over for the Broncos in 1984, the team has had three eras of winning. With Dan Reeves as the coach, with Mike Shanahan as the coach (which led to two Super Bowl titles) and with John Fox as coach. Sure, the Broncos have had some misses (Josh McDaniels, anyone?), but Bowlen's willingness to pay Peyton Manning for some late-career magic certainly looks like a good move at this moment. But Bowlen also has become more invisible in the last few years. "I have short-term memory loss," he told the Denver Post in 2009. "I know that some of the memories of the Super Bowl championships are fading." Still, with executive John Elway helping run the team, the Broncos are in good shape. Bowlen is one important reason for that.
9. Shad Khan: First off, Khan has the best mustache in the NFL, and that truly has to count for something. Right? Seriously, though, that's one helluva mustache. Aside from his facial hair, though, we don't really have much to go on with how Khan will run the team. He probably kept former general manager Gene Smith a year too long. But considering last season was Khan's first year in control, we can forgive that. And, obviously, we don't know how the Gus Bradley coaching hire will work out. Now, I'm not sure I agree with Khan's idea that the Jaguars can be an international favorite, and I'd be a little worried about the possibility of the Jaguars moving to London. But for a franchise that has averaged slightly more than five wins per season in the past five years, Khan provides something important: the hope that better days lie ahead.
8. Bob McNair: The people of Houston still don't like the idea of what Bud Adams did, taking the original AFL squad Oilers and moving them to Nashville after the city wouldn't help fund a new stadium to replace the Astrodome. That left Houston without an NFL team for six years until McNair was awarded the Texans squad that began play in 2002. Sure, it took the Texans eight years to field a team that produced a winning record (and two seasons after that before they made the postseason), but Houston has changed its fortunes in the past couple years. Really, the Texans have been a bit of a disappointment overall since the organization was established, but credit McNair with giving Houston back its NFL team.
7. John Mara: We enjoy long-lasting family ownership groups, and Mara is part of a pretty good one. His grandfather, Tim Mara, founded the Giants organization in the mid-1920s, and though John Mara didn't take over the team full-time until 2005, following the death of his father, Wellington Mara, New York has had a fantastic run since then, winning a pair of Super Bowls. One of Mara's best moves has been to resist the multiple temptations to fire coach Tom Coughlin. But best of all, Mara still corresponds with fans, as the NY Times wrote in 2012. He was one of the more outspoken owners during the lockout of 2011, but still, Giants fans can't argue with the success that Mara has helped continue since he became co-owner.
6. Arthur Blank: He probably would be higher on this list if he didn't recently pull the typical-NFL-owner move of threatening to move his team (to the suburbs) if he didn't get public funds for a new state-of-the-art downtown stadium to replace a dome that's only two decades old. It's the trend, but it always galls me when billionaire owners demand taxpayer money to help pay for the stadium that they want. But, other than that, you can't dispute that Blank has transformed the franchise since taking over in 2002. Though he missed with the coaching hires of Jim Mora Jr. and Bobby Petrino, Blank and company nailed it with Mike Smith. Now, the Falcons are one of the league's Super Bowl favorites heading into 2013, and that was hardly ever going to be the case if the Rankin Smith family was still running the franchise.
5. Packers fans: After the draft in New York, a couple of us hung out with some female Green Bay fans on the porch of their Manhattan apartment and, for a few minutes, they talked about their Green Bay fandom. Each owned one share of stock in the Green Bay organization, and though they (obviously) have no influence on the team's day-to-day decisions and, in effect, they simply own an expensive piece of paper with the Packers insignia, don't tell them that their ownership in the team is worthless. Because it certainly means something to them. Besides, the fact that the fans own the team always strikes me as such a cool thing.
4. Rooney family: You certainly can't argue with the team's track record with the Rooneys in charge. Which has been the entire life of the franchise, going from Art Rooney to Dan Rooney to Art Rooney II. The franchise is the epitome of NFL stability, utilizing only three head coaches since 1969 (not coincidentally, those three coaches have combined for six Super Bowl titles), and you might not find a better example of owners, general managers and coaches sticking to a long-term plan while maintaining an actual family environment. "Some owners treat you like a rental property," defensive end Nick Eason told the NY Times in 2009. "They have some maintenance guy to take care of it. They just come by to check on it. They look, and they leave. Mr. [Dan] Rooney comes around. He always sticks his hand out to you. 'Hey, Nick'-- and I'm like, 'He knows my name?'"
3. Steve Bisciotti: It almost seems like I'd have to place the owner of the reigning Super Bowl champs on the list, but that's not necessarily the case. However, Bisciotti makes it awfully easy to include him. Since he bought the team in 2004, the Ravens have suffered only two losing seasons and, in five of the past seven years, Baltimore has won at least 10 games. Bisciotti doesn't make himself a huge part of the story, but the decision to hire coach John Harbaugh in 2008 has worked out pretty well (firing Super Bowl-winning coach Brian Billick also couldn't have been an easy move). Luckily for Bisciotti, general manager Ozzie Newsome was already in his position when Art Modell sold the team to Bisciotti. According to Forbes, the team has doubled in worth since Bisciotti became owner, but he also understands how to raise morale. After all, this is the text message that he sent Harbaugh during the Broncos' double-overtime win against the Broncos last playoffs: "I've never texted you during a game. We are down 35-28. And I think it's the best game I've ever seen us [play] in the playoffs since 2000. Win or lose I am so proud of the team and proud of you." Pretty awesome, huh?
2. Jim Irsay: Compared to his father, Bob, who was much maligned by many of the people who knew him, the 53-year-old Jim is an absolute godsend for Colts fans. Even without the shadow of his father, though, Jim Irsay is one of the most fun owners around. He plays around on Twitter, and he gives away free stuff to his followers. Plus, he hires the right kind of personnel -- general manager Ryan Grigson so far, coach Tony Dungy and Jim Caldwell (for a time, anyway) -- and the organization's decision to draft Peyton Manning rather than Ryan Leaf in 1998 was obviously a huge difference-maker. But Irsay is an empathetic sort, and the sendoff given to Manning by Irsay and the Colts was representative of the NFL that we'd like to see more often. Not to mention how the team handled Chuck Pagano's cancer scare last season. Irsay is fun, and his team has been successful since he took over in 1997. What's not to love?
1. Robert Kraft: He made the best move of his career in 2000, when he forgave Bill Belichick's past transgressions (his reign as Browns coach, his tight relationship with Bill Parcells) and hired him to lead New England. Thirteen years later, the Patriots have been consistently the best team in the league. Yes, Kraft has had to navigate some rocky moments with Belichick in charge (the Spy-gate controversy that was a complete embarrassment, the fact the team has won only three of its last seven postseason games and hasn't touched the Lombardi Trophy since the 2004 season), but even the most ardent pro-union fan had to be touched by this moment after the lockout of 2011 was over (that photo was taken soon after Kraft's beloved wife had died). Even if you hate all other owners, it's awfully difficult for anybody to dislike Kraft.

Appe-tite budget
Stores offer money-saving foreign foods
People with special dietary needs, such as vegetarians, or those with gluten intolerance or food allergies, may find their dollar stretches further at international grocers.
The Celiac Disease Foundation estimates one in 113 people are affected by gluten intolerance or celiac disease. While only 1 percent of people have celiac, more than 15 percent say they purchase gluten-free items.
The Vegetarian Research Groups says 7.3 million Americans call themselves vegetarian. The prevalence of food allergies has increased 18 percent since 1997 and now includes about 4 percent of the population. Many countries have enjoyed traditional foods without wheat, dairy, eggs or meat and these foods are often cheaper and less processed than those found in chain grocers.
Mexican and Latin American stores, such as Carniceria Los Cuates on Broad, offer a wide selection of corn products, which are a staple for gluten-free households. Corn tortillas, chips, flour and masa (used for making tortillas and tamales) all are available, along with salsas, cheese, beans and rice.
International Grocers on Southwest Parkway carries Indo-Pak, Asian and Middle Eastern foods.
Owner Algaz Syed said he imports products wholesale, directly from their country of origin so items are fresh and at the lowest possible price.
Vegetarians will find frozen and boxed vegetarian meals including samosas, stuffed fried breads, curries and rice dishes.
Syed's store is the only one in the area that carries both raw zabiha halal meats and microwaveable complete halal meals. Muslims are generally required to eat halal, but Syed said many non-Muslims prefer the meats because the slaughtering process includes very strict standards for hygiene and respect for the animal.
He said the meat tends to be juicer and have better flavor.
People avoiding gluten can find many kinds of wheat-free flours including rice, gram (or lentil), corn, millet and sorghum flours.
A 4-pound bag of rice flour at his store is about $3; a similar product found at a grocery store was more than $6.
Syed said he has many vegetarian customers and they enjoy the frozen and self-stable meals and mixes as well as vegetarian stables like soy chunks, chick peas, beans and lentils.
Syed has individual spices in bulk-size bags at a fraction of the price of bottled spices.
For people with food sensitivities, premixed spice blends or marinades can be troublesome because of unsavory ingredients like monosodium glutamate or wheat-based products.
The store also carries fresh and seasonal herbs, fruits and vegetables and Indian-style ice cream that is egg- and preservative-free.
Syed said since opening the shop about three years ago, he's adapted his stock to the needs of the community.
Hung Thinh, an Asian food store on Tenth Street, carries many gluten-free products like rice noodles, wrappers, crackers, cooking rice wine and mochi (rice flour dumplings).
Tapioca starch can be used as a thickener in wheat-free recipes.
Coconut milk is a common ingredient, especially in Thai cuisine, and can be a tasty alternative to dairy milk. Whole coconuts, frozen coconut meat and canned milk are available.
For the vegetarian, Hung Thinh has fresh, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables and soy products such as fresh tofu and miso.
The store also has a fresh fish market each Friday with a varying selection.
Kathy Schroyer said she was a first-time visitor to the store. She heard about it from her son-in-law, who acquired an appreciation for foreign foods after being stationed in the Middle East.
She and grandson Tommy Nemett, 1, came to the store for seafood and also found produce, spices and some sweet treats. "I like to try new things. It's an adventure," Schroyer said.
People with celiac or serious food allergies should always read labels to make sure products are safe. If there is any question, ask the store owners, or call the brand's customer help line.
