Fil-Am's feature film wins raves, gets screenings in US
After screenings in Miami, Los Angeles, San Diego, New York and Austin theaters, Filipino-American Ron Morales' second film, "Graceland," is showing in other US key cities.
It will be shown at the Facets Cinematheque in Chicago until today; from tomorrow to May 16, at Magic Lantern Theater in Spokane, Washington; and from May 17 to 23, at Grand Illusion in Seattle, Washington.
"Graceland" has earned glowing reviews from major publications like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, New York Post and the movie web site Twitchfilm.com.
New York Times' Jeannette Catsoulis summed up Morales' film as "a tense and tough-minded family drama."
It follows a driver (Arnold Reyes) out to save his daughter (Ella Guevara) from a kidnapper (Leon Miguel) out to settle old scores with the hapless driver's boss, a corrupt politician (Menggie Cobarubbias).
Catsoulis noted how Morales "steers his story in unexpected directions." While the film "embraces the breathless beats of a crime thriller," she said, "it holds tight its concern for exploited children."
LA Times' Gary Goldstein hailed "Graceland" as "brimming with complexity and intriguing shades of gray." He added: "Morales masterfully juggles the brisk thriller's … puzzle pieces to create an unpredictable portrait of desperate times—and desperate measures. [It is] a gritty, well-shot picture that often plays like a tighter, more realistic version" of the Liam Neeson abduction actioner "Taken."
New York Post's Farran Smith Nehme agreed: "[A] nerve-shredding, Philippines-set thriller made with such skill that its low budget barely registers." Nehme praised the "uniformly marvelous" actors. He found "Morales' spin on the old ransom plot fresher and more gripping than most big-budget Hollywood products."
Inquirer honoree
Twitchfilm.com's Andrew Mack concluded that Morales' years of work as a grip in Hollywood had "nurtured him into an efficient filmmaker."
He commended Morales' storytelling. "He twists his screenplay around enough to keep even the most seasoned thriller aficionado second-guessing up to the end."
Mack was sure that Morales could "pull off something bigger" in his next projects. "There is nothing that would make us second-guess his ability to handle a script that twists the thumbscrews a bit more."
Morales is one of the honorees in last year's Inquirer Indie Bravo! Tribute.

Riots erupt as Christians protest in Cairo, 6 dead
CAIRO Fierce clashes erupted Sunday between Christians protesting a recent attack on a church and the Egyptian military, leaving six people dead, security and hospital officials said.
They said the dead included four protesters and two soldiers and 40 people were injured in the riots outside the state television building along the Nile in Cairo. Witnesses said some of the protesters may have snatched weapons from the soldiers and turned them on the military. The protesters also pelted the soldiers with rocks and bottles.
The clashes spread to nearby Tahrir Square and the area around it, drawing in thousands of people. They battled each other with rocks and firebombs, some tearing up pavement for ammunition and others collecting stones in boxes. At one point, a group of youths with at least one riot policeman among them dragged a protester by his legs for a long distance.
The Christian protesters said their demonstration began as a peaceful attempt to sit in at the television building. But then, they said they came under attack by thugs in plainclothes who rained stones down on them and fired pellets.
"The protest was peaceful. We wanted to hold a sit-in, as usual," said Essam Khalili, a protester wearing a white shirt with a cross drawn on it. "Thugs attacked us and a military vehicle jumped over a sidewalk and ran over at least 10 people. I saw them."
Wael Roufail, another protester, corroborated the account.
"I saw the vehicle running over the protesters. Then they opened fired at us," he said.
Khalili said protesters set fire to army vehicles when they saw them hitting the protesters.
Television footage of the riots showed some of the Coptic protesters attacking a soldier, while a priest tried to protect him. One soldier collapsed in tears as ambulances rushed to the scene to take away the injured.
Christians blame Egypt's ruling military council for being too lenient on those behind a spate of anti-Christian attacks since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak in February. Egypt's Coptic Christian minority makes up about 10 percent of the country of more than 80 million people. As Egypt undergoes a chaotic power transition and security vacuum in the wake of this year's uprising, Christians are particularly worried about the increasing show of force by the ultraconservative Islamists.
Sunday's rally began in the Shubra district of northern Cairo, then headed to the state television building along the Nile where men in plainclothes attacked about a thousand Christian protesters as they chanted denunciations of Egypt's military rulers.
"The people want to topple the field marshall," the protesters yelled, referring to the head of the ruling military council, Field Marshall Hussein Tantawi. Some Muslim protesters later joined in the same chant.
Armed with sticks, they chased the Christian protesters from the TV building, banging metal street signs to scare them off. It was not immediately clear who the attackers were.
Gunshots rang out at the scene, where lines of riot police with shields tried to hold back hundreds of Christian protesters chanting "This is our country."

High School Sports
Balint, Swindle, Byrnes & Stephenson as MaxPreps/NFCA National H.S. Players of the Week
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Sophomore pitcher/first baseman Maggie Balint (Avon Grove (West Grove, Pa.) H.S), senior infielder Jordan Swindle (Evangel Christian (Alabaster, Ala.) H.S.), junior outfielder/third baseman Alexis Byrnes (Lockwood (Lockwood, Mo.) H.S) and freshman pitcher/utility player Lainey Stephenson (Veritas Prep (Phoenix, Ariz.) have been selected as the MaxPreps/NFCA National High School Players of the Week for games played over March 24-30.
North Region
Balint helped the Red Devils to a 3-0 start to the 2014 campaign, batting .400 (4-for-10) with two extra-base hits and two RBIs while picking up all three victories from the circle. Over the trio of pitching appearances, she registered a 0.00 ERA and struck out an impressive 37 hitters over just 14.1 total innings. Arguably her finest effort came during an 8-3 triumph over Downingtown East (Pa.) as Balint struck out 14 in a complete game while going 2-for-4 at the dish with a double, a triple and an RBI.
South Region
Swindle powered the Lightning offensively last week, batting .643 (9-for-14) with nine runs scored, four stolen bases, six doubles and 11 RBIs. Her top performance came against Ezekiel Academy on March 24 as she went 3-for-4 at the plate with three tallies, two two-baggers and five RBIs. Overall for the year, Swindle is hitting at a .549 clip with 33 runs scored, 17 doubles, three HR's and 30 RBIs.
South Central Region
During the Tigers' opening eight match-ups to the 2014 season, Byrnes batted .611 (11-for-18) with nine runs scored, four doubles, a remarkable 13 stolen bases and 13 RBIs. Included in her week was a 3-for-3 performance with a double, three thefts and a trio of RBIs during a 16-3 win over Hurley (Mo.), and a 2-for-2, three-RBI effort in a 20-4 rout of Fordland (Mo.). Byrnes posted at least one base hit, one RBI and one steal in seven of Lockwood's eight contests.
West Region
Stephenson led the way for the Falcons from both the circle and at the plate, posting a perfect 7-0 pitching mark with a 0.00 ERA, consecutive no-hitters and 98 strikeouts over 41 innings while also batting .545 (12-for-22) with three doubles, a triple, a HR and 10 RBIs. She tossed her consecutive no no's (now has five for the 2014 season) during wins over Coronado (was 4-for-5 at the plate with three RBIs) and Coolidge (Ariz.), striking out 13 and 12 in those match-ups, respectively. Stephenson wrapped up her week with back-to-back 17-strikeout efforts in complete game shutouts over Arizona Lutheran Academy and Ray (Ariz.). For the season she is a perfect 13-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 177 K's over 72 frames, while also batting .652 with 17 extra-base hits and 27 RBIs.

Joseph and Karen James
Age: 44 and 46
Residence: Oceanside
With three school-age children at home, finding employment is crucial for Joseph and Karen James.
The spouses have been looking for work since November, when Joseph left his position as a military policeman in the Army.
He said they receive unemployment benefits, which don't cover all the bills. The only jobs they have found pay even less than government assistance, he added. That leaves the couple less willing to apply for entry-level positions.
"That's the conundrum," he said. "I could get a job tomorrow at Home Depot. ... (But) there's nothing that pays (enough)."
James said he plans to take a security guard certification course "to make me more marketable" as a management candidate for security and transportation posts.
He also said Friday's news that the local unemployment rate dipped in March leaves him "cautiously optimistic." He believes the economy won't see a full rebound until more full-time and well-paying jobs are added.
Karen James said she's seeking a management position in sales or marketing, after taking time off to be an Army wife. Without success so far, though, she might broaden her scope — perhaps into hospitality.
Luis Perez
Age: 27
Residence: Escondido
Luis Perez "absolutely" knows he can land a job. But the 27-year-old from Escondido said he "would like to land a career" and start living the American Dream.
Like many at Friday's job fair in Carlsbad, Perez said he was disappointed by the lack of career-track positions available. Still, he said, he made a few contacts and won't give up.
"I'm not going to sit at home and do nothing," said Perez, clad in a black suit and tie.
He has worked several low-paying jobs, as a security guard and in sales and marketing, following his seven and a half years of service in the Marine Corps. He lost his most recent position at a marketing agency three months ago, he said.
Perusing the tables at the job fair, Perez said an internship program with Palomar Health sparked his interest in Friday's event. He said he'd rather volunteer his time with such a program so he can develop career skills, rather than take a dead-end, low-paying job.
Currently, he's volunteering for a San Diego nonprofit group that refurbishes used computers.
Amid the difficulties in landing solid employment, Perez said, it could be easy to sell drugs or resort to other ways of making money illegally: "It's always a temptation. It's easy money," he said.
That's not the direction he wants to travel.
"I'm looking to be rewarded for the hard work I put in. To me, the (employment) system is not rewarding productivity as it should," Perez said. "I've got to find a job that satisfies me not only financially, but also personally."
Mayu Hayakawa
Age: 38
Residence: Rancho Bernardo
Mayu Hayakawa said she's not surprised by the lack of accounting jobs advertised at the Friday job fair in Carlsbad. She wasn't discouraged, either.
"I'm not here at the job fair just to find something. I'm here to network, to have conversations," Hayakawa said while taking a break from the busy event. "Somebody will know somebody who needs an accountant."

2009 BEST Lingerie
Agent Provocateur
When we need support, we wade through the beige and white underthings at Intimacy and Nordstrom, where polite ladies wielding measuring tapes thoughtfully correct our ignorance in thinking we were a B cup. When we need lingerie, however (the kind of thing that revs our engine, and hopefully yours, too, hot stuff), we head to Agent Provocateur. New this year on Newbury Street, the British retailer deals in flashy-not-trashy revisions of boudoir basics: satin corsets, push-up bras in tartan plaids, tasseled pasties…okay, maybe not too trashy.

Pink giraffe 'security' blankets sold at Target Stores nationwide have been recalled due to a possible choking hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Rashti and Rashti of New York, announced a voluntary recall of about 44,000 of the pink giraffe blankets because the balls on top of the giraffe's horns can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.
No injuries have been reported. The blankets were sold exclusively at Target stores from January 2009 through August 2009 for about $9. They were manufactured in China.
The recall involves the pink "I Love You" security blanket with a giraffe plush head. The blanket measures about 14 inches wide by 14 inches in length. "I Love You" is embroidered on the blanket. Style number Y22230H and "Just One Year a division of Carter's" are sewn into a label on the blanket.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled blankets away from children and contact Rashti and Rashti toll-free at (888) 594-3730 between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday for a full refund, or visit the firm's website at www.rashtiandrashti.com

Operate Your Closet Business with Transparency
By Kris Costa | Posted: 08/06/2014 10:17AM
Years ago, opening a business was a time consuming series of applications, red tape and waiting. Now, with the advent of online accessibility, all it takes is a few hours of online filing and the purchase of a domain name. Although a successful business requires much more than that to thrive, it is true that the internet provides information in lightning speed, information that is available to all.
At a time when many companies are struggling with today's global economy, yet another attribute of online access, maintaining operational transparency has become much more than a corporate choice concerning integrity or regulatory compliance. In a sense, every business now has to learn, if it has not adapted such a culture from the onset, to manage its' corporate and public image as a press agent would. Bad press can go around the worldwide web as quickly as an endorsement or testimonial will, and rarely is one able to erase that which has already formed a digital footprint.
Business best practices today not only include reputable products and the like, but has evolved to include company personality and reputation almost as if it were of a living being. Businesses have come to be thought of in terms of the people behind them and reflect the values of its leadership. Never more than in recent years has the public become more intimately involved with the CEO's , etc., behind big business, and the mistakes they have made. The key is to do away with the "behind the scenes" corporate mentality and realize that this practice will become increasingly important to owners, executives and managers, across the world. Adapting a company culture of honesty and integrity may quite possibly be one of the most important factors in building brand identity and trust.
True transparency means that that your business is clear and honest and easy to understand when potential customers are looking at you. It means that there are no hidden costs, add on extras or polices that are difficult for the public to understand. It means that your business is in collaboration with your customers, and that you both have the same agenda as posed to a hidden agenda, which ultimately is a happy customer, which equates to a company reputation that is trustworthy.
If your company needs a revamp of its internal operations, there are a few simple steps that can be taken. Begin by reassessing policies. Take a look at employee directives. Encourage collaboration between employees toward the common company vision as this can go a long way to genuine customer service practices. Employees in competition with each other for a sale or other benefit will only serve to deliver disingenuous interaction with customers.

When it comes to third-line agents, Henry said, another factor may be price. Some medications aren't always available in generic form, which may make them significantly more expensive.
If you have specific concerns, such as weight gain or cost, Henry said it's important to bring these concerns to your doctor's attention when you're talking about adding another diabetes medication.
"If a third medication is needed because glucose control isn't adequate, get one that's tailored to your unique needs," he advised.
"We think that the results of this study offer a wide range of choices of anti-hyperglycemic agents that might be used as the third option in patients with type 2 diabetes not controlled using metformin and sulphonylurea based on efficacy. The final decision would depend on the effects in weight and risk of hypoglycemic episodes," said Gross.

Overall a positive stay
Lovely looking hotel
Friendly staff
Room very clean and shower was great
However a couple of issues ...we stayed on the ground floor directly looking into the car park which was noisy and a lot of footfall outside our door also caused a disturbed night
I would probably ask for a different room if I stayed again. less
We just stayed the one night as we were attending a function locally. We've stayed in hotels all over the country and never had such good service as we did here. All the staff were excellent and it seemed that genuinely nothing was too much trouble. (A special mention must go to the young man waiting at breakfast).
The room was small (but not cramped) and had everything you needed. The shower room was spotlessly clean and didn't have that 'seen better days' look a lot hotels have.
As we were going to a function we didn't have diner but did have a breakfast. There was an excellent choice, with some items you don't expect to find in a hotel in this price range. The breakfast was cooked to perfection. less
Had an enjoyable weekend stay ,with tasty breakfast and efficient staff.Good location if you're visiting Haywards Heath. Could do with a lift for people who have difficulty with climbing stairs.Sky Sports on room TV a bonus. less
Booked the room well in advance, when co-workers and myself check in we discover our rooms have single beds and no baths. Some of the rooms over look into the resturant so you have to have your curtains closed at all times. Don't really expect this from a hotel, better off staying in the premier inn in Burgess hill. Dinner and breakfast is poor, either burnt or undercooked, the pasta was still swimming in water. The wifi is free for a reason because it doesn't work most of the time in the rooms and when it does, it's very slow. When asking to move rooms they said they was fully booked despite being booked in from January, still got given the worst rooms. less
We checked in and given 234, on our return found we could not get into our room. We were told we had not paid or checked in, although we had a receipt. We were told we could have room 104 and the porter would bring our bags down for us. This is un- exceptable we did not receive an apology for being given the wrong room, the whole business was quite distressing my husband is disable and felt we had been treated very badly as this was 10 o clock at night when returned to the hotel. less

You have horrible misinterpretations in your one-liners.
EDIT: On topic:
Jaime, I can't say what you went through will never happen again. In Battlefield, there's always this group of people that, with their asses, type "noob team," or "raped" at the end of the game. In roleplays, I wouldn't expect it to be any different. The only difference, is in Battlefield, if you're good, you can mindfuck them and give them a really horrible day with a sniper rifle and some C4. My point is, you really can't fight back against elitist RPers as easy as elitists in other games; you have to see them for what the are and ignore them, and the ones haughty enough to actually /callgm against you... my solution for that problem would be to find a new server or something if at all possible. I'm sorry but that's just absurd. Do know, there's some of us out there, who, if you're not going to deliberately defile us, will gladly help. There's a bunch of nice 80s out there who will run a complete stranger for free if you know where to look. Same concept.
People that put themselves above others put me in a bad mood.

RoleCraft: The Rule of Roleplay

Some people are always going to be skeptics. Some of them may be just trying to defend and rationalise their own «identification» as being a hard-core role-player. I will tell you of my experiences with a so-called «roleplay-focused» MUD (MMOs were once MUDs back in the day) from long ago.
This article hits several accurate points, but believe it or not, does not reveal how TRULYUGLY it can get. The MUD I once played on FORCED you to become PK-Able before you could advance past L25. Not only that, unless you were a coder and/or builder for that MUD, survival of your character was EXTREMELY difficult.
Topping that off, well, actually, not even reach the top yet, was the fact that there were cheating staff-members who manipulated the game-mechanics and designed areas specifically to give their ANTI-SOCIAL characters maximum advantage, and they would STEAL from you. Thieving was RAMPANT. I don`t care if they knew you, whether you were a newbie to the game or not, you were GUARANTEED to be STOLEN from, and after having spent incredibly pain-staking efforts in order to collect your valuable merchandise/equipment which was crucial to your survival against the regular monsters.
Not only this, I read through every single help-file, all of the lore in the game, and pointed out some flaws that were associated with the in-game world and the lore-history. Apparently, one of the IMMs decided to take offense, for not only did HE write that history, I was blatantly confronted by him in the OOC Room and told that I was an idiot and that he wrote that particular history, and that it was one of the best-written out of all the histories on that MUD (how`s THAT for an Elitist EGOtistical Mind-Set for you?).
I saw many, Many, and I mean MANY otherwise strong/good friendships dissolve, DISSOLVE, I tell you ! I suspect that there are those ass-hole so-called hard-core role-players who just want to cause drama and end up spreading lies, deceit, etc. Here is one thing I have noticed about most, but not necessarily all, people who do this so-called role-playing. WHAT they choose to role-play also tends to reflect upon their own real-life personality/character (even if they claim to separate OOC and IC which they in fact do not which I can elaborate on quite a bit).
Attempting to post accurate and fair information after one of those ass-hole so-called hard-core roleplay-focused cheating staff-members decides that, just because you`ve been able to prove that the lore he wrote is conflicting to the game-mechanics and in-game lore, suddenly you`ve become his arch-enemy ? I will tell you what happens. They are the types of people who have a million bazillion accounts, and will log on to EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR CHARACTERS, and they will all post AGAINST any and ALL notes that you`ve written, a form of disinformation-agent operation to discredit you. Sure, they will make it LOOK like it`s a bunch of people who disagree with you, but it`s ALL from the SAME person, who posts under MULTIPLE different accounts.
Not only that, this particular MUD which I speak of is one where your character was able to be killed off PERMANENTLY, even after you had spent over a year to level it up and get it developed (and it does NOT help that most-likely at least SEVERAL of their staff-members were cheating to give themselves maximum advantages for their in-game characters). PvP is one thing or another, but when you are FORCED to go PK (i.e.: PvP), constantly being FORCED to watch your back if you bother to even re-materialise in that such realm... then, believe me when I say, this article does in fact hit it DEAD-ON when it references those clique role-players causing so much drama that it would put most, actually, I might even dare to say ALL soap-operas to shame in terms of how much griefing went about over thatparticular entire population.
Needless to say, I opted to NEVER associate with that MUD again and found a much better one with a MUCH more mature community, and I suggest to everyone who likes their freedom (just as long as you believe in the idea of having fun which does NOT come at the expense of others), then stay CLEAR away from ANY communities which considers itself a role-playing «focused» game/community/what-ever. Each and EVERY single time, UNLESS EVERY single leader within that community believes in fun WITHOUT doing it at the expense of others, you WILL find ass-holes who simply go about insulting or maybe even going so far as to attacking you when you`re a genuine newbie who`s simply trying to ask questions about how to learn the mechanics of the game... just trust me on this one. Only ONE corrupt leader within those communities is enough to GUARANTEE ruination and drama within about a year`s time of your involvement with that group... I have told you my story so don`t come complaining to me later on if you fail to heed my advice and wish that you had listened in the first instance. You have been warned.

I remember the RP on virtue server in the game City of Villains was mostly led by de facto leaders, one of which required "sex" to get into their clique (if your char was female, disregarding the player gender).
Multiple CoV RP groups have/had close ties with american hentai industry circles that leak into other games like Second Life. dmitrys is known to be regularly commissioned by it's players to make naughty artwork.

Excuse me for not clarifying in the previous post... some of those delinquents go about causing grief and trouble everywhere all behind the guise of so-called «role-playing» ...I am sorry but role-playing is one thing and being a complete and total jerk is another.
Yeah, why don`t you go try role-play «rape» that girl without her permission, that was the style of jerk I speak of with my posting. Imagine being forced to have ALL of your most-valuable HARD-earned goods stolen from without your role-play permission. Imagine getting attacked, literally back-stabbed, and left in a cess-pool of blood without your permission, and imagine receiving a barrage of insults from dozens of different characters (all of which belong to the SAME person), simply because he has too much time on his hands and using those two-faced characters to make your otherwise maybe once-friends into enemies of both each other AND you.
How do you like THAT for hard-core role-playing ? Like I said, role-playing is one activity, and I believe it SHOULD in fact be FUN, but being an ass-hole in the guise of role-playing is what sparks articles like this one.

No other art and antique fair can claim superstar status like Grosvenor House, a veritable London institution on view until June 15. At 70 years of age, this is the Queen Mum of all fairs, and in the eyes of the British, the most glittering. In fact, the late Queen Mary lent her royal patronage to this event.
And the Brits are not wrong in steeply scoring this show. With the venerable London firm Partridge joining the 92-dealer roster, there are more important examples from the great age of English furniture than ever. Call this fair a precious blend of commerce and antiques brilliance.
Fabulous Chippendale, outstanding Sheraton, then spectacular silver by Paul de Lamerie and Paul Storr. Interspersed are Dutch and Flemish Old Masters along with the high points of British painting from the Sir Anthony van Dyck straight through to the 20th.
For the best of British antiques, London dealer Ronald Phillips is featuring a Chinese Chippendale mirror that rivals one sold at Christies in the Doris Duke collection last week. Dating from 1765, this beauty bears its original gilding and mirror plates, too. Its touched with Gothic temples at the top and dotted with ho-ho birds: mythical exotic creatures dreamed up by humorous 18th century cabinetmakers. The price is princely: 385,000 pounds but then the Duke mirror went for over $1 million
In addition, Phillips is boasting another rarity: a Chinese Chippendale mirror with a nod to Swedish country. This 18th century beauty with restrained carving complete with small Neoclassical urns is glazed with its original white and blue paint. Its the first one of its kind on the market, says Jeremy Garfield-Davies of Phillips.
Also on this stand is a 1720 gilt gessoed low boy with a surface embossed with miniature double rings and overlaid with raised foliate sprays. In candlelight, this piece of furniture literally glows. Plus, the provenance is powerful, too. It had been owned by Major John Courtauld, the brother of the famed industrialist and Impressionist painting collector Samuel Courtauld. Major John paid a then hefty 135 for the low boy in 1925. Then that sum could purchase an entire 19th century London townhouse.
Such lavish furniture in gold was the height of sophistication then and today these antiques encapsulate the rich essence for the 18th century. Another example can be found with Mallett. Their 1720 secretary in gilt gesso on view had belonged to the Portuguese royal family.
Overall, glittering gilt seems to mark more antiques than in recent memory. For example, Harris Lindsay is showing a pair of late 17th century gilt wood stands in the shape of full size robust eight year olds. They are possibly German or Italian. Matthew Boltons gilt bronze creations from small urn perfume burners to weighty mantel clocks as well as Svres porcelain with ormolu mounts and fine German silver gilt vessels are dotted throughout the fair. Call this the age of unbridled rich taste. Why such ostentation? One Floridian fair organizer sniffed: Theyre trying to appeal to the newly rich Russians.
For sheer scale and bold architectonic furniture nothing beats the massive mahogany breakfront library bookcase shown by London dealer Jeremy. Topped by a broken pediment and trimmed up with delicately carved miniature vines and roses on the slender panels banking both sides, this antique demonstrates the bristling prowess of 18th century cabinetmakers. Originally owned by the first Marchioness of Aberdeen, the bookcase is now 450,000.
Not to be outdone, Apter Fredericks is showing a rare field maple secretary stained to look like tortoiseshell. That exotic shell material had to be the leopard print of its day. Another best of its kind example is a Sheraton secretary in blond satinwood from 1790. With silver plated hardware, this refinely designed but hardly fragile secretary costs 235
For a confectionary-like accessory, Mallett is touting a rare treat: a domed temple created from thousands of tiny pink and white seashells brought back by a 1770 ship captain from the West Indies. Its totally fanciful and comes complete with seashell roses twirling up its columns and a magnificently carved mahogany tripod stand accentuated with carved shells by William Ince. Such a time-consuming craft project is hardly modestly priced. But then this is a real rarity that had been tucked away in a private collection for centuries. Its 375,000.
Enthusiasts of 20th century British painting are bound to zero in on dealer Peter Nahum. Hes got one of the last available Patrick Heron paintings (works by the English artist burned in the tragic warehouse fire last week along with those by Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin). Already this painting in emerald green and vibrant orange dubbed appropriately Emerald with Reds and Ceruleum is receiving rapt attention. Before the fire, the Heron would have been priced at 180,000. Now, Nahum may sell it for 250,000 or it could go even a tad higher. An early Heron, small in size, made 90,000 at auction recently, says Nahum.
But now, who knows?
To tempt the most doting parents and grandparents, Manhattans Kentshire Galleries brought over a dollhouse looking like a limestone townhouse, c. 1780. It had belonged to children of King George III against whom we waged our American revolution. His princesses made the small needlepoint rugs and embroidered bed hangings. They even trimmed up the dressing table mirror with lace, a dcor patterned exactly after their mothers. This dollhouse descended in the family of screen star Helen Bonham Carter, reports Kentshires Robert Israel. Though sold, its remaining in England as the charming toy has been acquired by Kew Palace.
If such 18th century frivolity and masterpieces are not your fancy, then fast forward to the millennium by stopping by the stand of C.L. Burman. This London glass dealer has corralled the ultimate in high tech furniture: a computer woven carbon fiber plaited day bed in a wonderful cylindersque shape. Its one of a limited edition of 12 and no less than the Museum of Modern Art owns an example.
That oh-so trendy example proves Britains best show spans the centuries with style like no other.

My friend and I were extremely happy with our stay at this hotel. The room we stayed in was fantastic, and the service from the staff at the front desk was second to none. I would especially like to recommend the Gluhwein in the reception area, it will definitely put a bit of lead in your pencil. I'll admit that we were both a little bit disappointed when we discovered that the rocket in the back yard area wasn't real, but it's forgivable. All in all, we had an out of this world experience.

He was born Aug. 29, 1928, in Columbus. He graduated from Sandusky High School in 1946 and from Heidelberg College in 1951. In 2007 he was inducted in the Northern Ohio Blood Services Region Hall of Fame Inaugural Class, having donated more than 32 gallons of whole blood.

It's like asking patients to survive on rice porridge or gruel by consuming twice a week. The patient may survive but the sickness and other health complications will continue.
This is the situation in which chronic kidney ailment patients, utilising government-run free Arogyasri dialysis, find themselves in.
Inadequate facilities
Inadequate dialysis facilities in government hospitals are forcing patients to opt for cheaper dialysis options outside which are making them prone to infections.
Arogyasri dialysis patients have also complained that medical equipment like tubing, dialysers and filters are not changed frequently, which poses a high risk of infections.
Ideally, chronic kidney patients need anywhere between three to four sessions of dialysis in a week. Patients enrolled under the Arogyasri scheme can just have two dialysis sessions of two hours each in a week.
"We are grateful that the government is providing free dialysis. But, two dialysis sessions a week are not enough and due to that, I am going to a private clinic for one more dialysis session. There is a constant fear of infection because health workers here tend to reuse certain equipments like dialysis tubes and dialysers, which are supposed to be discarded," says Md. Akram, a kidney patient at Gandhi Hospital.
Due to weak immunity levels, chronic renal patients, especially those under dialysis, are at a high risk of catching infections.
Several Arogyasree dialysis patients have said that the dialysis equipment like dialyzers, component parts such as tubing and filters are being used multiple times.
Unsafe practices
"There are occasions when the dialysers, which should be used only for one month by only one patient, are being used for three months. Because of such unsafe practices, fluids started getting accumulated in my body and that's when I decided to stop using Arogyasri dialysis facility," says another patient.
Many patients have also complained about lack of supply of erythropoietin drugs for them under Arogyasri dialysis.
Almost all dialysis patients are anaemic and after each dialysis session, it is mandatory for such patients to consume erythropoietin tablets to normalise red blood cells levels. Arogyasree dialysis patients are given free erythropoietin once a month.
Keywords: Arogyasri, dialysis, health complications, erythropoietin, infection, hospitals

Three vehicles were involved in the accident.
Emergency crews were on the scene.
The freeway was closed between Greenway and Bell after the crash. It was reopened about 6:15 p.m.

At the time, Allan was a first-year reporter at the States-Item, New Orleans' afternoon paper. The editorial pages of The Times-Picayune and States-Item were adamantly opposed to the civil-rights movement then gaining steam throughout the South. The newspapers' opposition to civil rights was based on the theory of "States Rights," which held that the federal government had no right to impose an end to segregation on the sovereign states of the United States. Today, we all know how that has turned out in the last 50 years but, at that time, it was legal linchpin to the fight conducted in the courts by segregationist entities. Continue reading »

New Orleans: if you live here, you're married to it. Along with the betrothed come all the perks of city government with assorted departments therein, and Parks & Parkways, I'm looking at you.

"You went to my home, you terrorized my wife, you're violating federal law, you're violating state law, you're trespassing, you're a nasty cowardly little spud," Letten shouted. He also called O'Keefe a "hobbit" for some reason. Continue reading »
Investigation and mourning continue after shooting death of 1-year-old
The day after a 1-year-old was shot to death in her babysitter's arms on Saratoga Street sent a cascade of strong emotions coursing through Central City.
At dawn, neighbors awoke to an armed standoff at a Central City home involved in the investigation. The day progressed with an intense burst of grief from the child's parents and their supporters at Cafe Reconcile, followed by an angry denunciation from city leaders for the lack of information in the case, and ended at dusk with a vigil mourning the slain child.
"She was my world," said her father, 20-year-old Keion Reed, in a brief public address Friday afternoon. "She was my everything. She was my reason for getting up in the morning." Continue reading »

Go-cups dominate discussion, but parking issues around proposed Pizza Domenica split planning commission vote
Any observer might be forgiven for assuming that Pizza Domenica's plans were scuttled by their request to allow patrons to take their drinks out the door in a plastic cup to-go. After all, go cups dominated Tuesday's discussion of the restaurant, just as they have the New Orleans media scene in the two weeks since go-cup rights activists began warning of a looming "go-cup battle" out of City Council.
But the commissioners who voted against Pizza Domenica on Tuesday said afterward that, surprising as it sounds, the go-cup issue was not even a factor in their decision. Continue reading »
jewel bush: Will New Orleans ever be 'post-Katrina'?
When President George W. Bush's motorcade drove down St. Claude Avenue on August 29, 2006 — the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina — there were many signs, like sentries, stationed along his route to Fats Domino's house in the Ninth Ward, one stop on his itinerary of ceremonial rounds.
The messages, posted on signs lined along the neutral ground and on the actual storm-clobbered buildings, weren't flattering greetings from the city's welcome committee. The collective reverberation to the commander in chief's obligatory pilgrimage to the place he neglected a year earlier was that of a shimmering rage, pithy and piercing in delivery.
One of the strongest indicators of this sentiment was a lop-sided, green Port-a-Potty positioned on the very edge of the neutral ground somewhere along St. Claude, a strategic locale sure to catch the eye of, if not, the president himself, someone in his party. Among protest notes scribbled in gold spray paint on all four sides of this freestanding structure, the standout read: "Reserved for Bush."
Mr. President, welcome to New Orleans. Continue reading »

Owen Courreges: Rearranging the deck chairs on a collapsing house
The official motto of the Landrieu Administration's blight eradication efforts should probably be: "We can't do much, but we'll do more of it!"
Case in point: A week ago, I read an Action Report from Bill Capo at WWL about a house in Central City that is nearly collapsing onto another. An entire wall has become detached. A couple of two-by-fours mounted between the homes is all that is preventing it from completely falling over. Continue reading »

Allan Katz and Danae Columbus: Not all Civil District Court judges ready to move to Charity
Several weeks ago, we wrote a column listing a number of reasons why Mayor Mitch Landrieu's plan to move City Hall to the iconic but empty Charity Hospital was an excellent idea.
In the course of our interview with him, Pres Kabacoff said he hoped that the Civil District Court judges would reconsider their plans to build a new Civil District Court building in Duncan Plaza – adjacent to the current City Hall on Loyola Avenue – and instead decide to join Mayor Landrieu's administration and the City Council in the move to Charity.
That all seemed reasonable enough to us, but then we received a visit from Civil District Court Judges Michael Bagneris and Kern Reese who told us the court is dead set on building their own structure and won't be swayed by the mayor to move to Charity. Continue reading »

NEW YORK, NY- September 16, 2014 – Baruch College has been placed at #9, up from last year's #25, on the "Top 50 Undergraduate Programs for Entrepreneurship" 2015 list released today by The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine. In addition, Baruch is listed at #14 on the list of "Top 50 Graduate Programs for Entrepreneurship."
With 590 enrolled students in Baruch's entrepreneurship courses for Fall 2014; eight full-time faculty including three endowed chaired professors; and 12 adjunct faculty – the entrepreneurship program at Baruch College stands as an educational leader in entrepreneurship in the country.
Robert Franek, Princeton Review Senior Vice President and Publisher, praised the College for its exceptional programs and said, "We recommend Baruch College…this year not only for their superb faculty and wide range of courses in entrepreneurship, but also for their out-of-class offerings. Their students have extraordinary opportunities to network with established entrepreneurs, interact on teams that turn promising ideas into possible start-ups, and develop skills to launch their own successful businesses."
For the seventh year in a row, the College was chosen for this annual list from more than 2,000 schools surveyed by The Princeton Review for Entrepreneur magazine. Evaluations were based on key criteria such as teaching entrepreneurship business fundamentals in the classroom; staffing departments with successful entrepreneurs; excellence in mentorship; and providing experiential or entrepreneurial opportunities outside of the classroom.
Undergraduate and graduate academic programs in entrepreneurship at Baruch College are under the auspices of The Lawrence N. Field Programs in Entrepreneurship based at the Zicklin School of Business. In addition to academics, the Field Programs conduct internationally recognized research and offer an extensive array of counseling and consulting services through the Baruch Small Business Development Center (SBDC)and the Lawrence H. Field Center for Entrepreneurship.

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
My successful quest to recreate a New Orleans favorite in two flavor profiles: Southern classic, and Asian-inspired. Plus I accidentally discovered shrubs!
another reason to drink! yay!
Strawberry cocktail recipes are a perfect summer cocktail. When vintage cocktailia meets new mixology you get a strawberry shrub cocktail.
This drinking vinegar is wonderfully sweet and tangy, and is quickly becoming my beverage of choice on hot days!
A combination of fruit juice, sugar and vinegar, Blood Orange Shrub goes well in cocktails, vinaigrettes or just stirred into sparkling water. You may also know this sort of thing as a drinking vinegar.
A delicious fall take on a classic shrub.
For those of you who have not gotten in on these amazing vinegar-based cocktails, now is the time!
You won't look back.
This infusion of strawberries, vinegars and sugar is a great way to preserve the (very last) strawberries of the season, and is one of the most surprisingly delicious recipes I've stumbled on in a long time.
Preserving the best of summer in an effervescent drink with a little vinegar and sugar and sparkling water.
