Nuri Bilge Ceylan is one of the most celebrated Turkish filmmakers working today. His background in photography has translated to a highly formal visual style featuring long, static shots and natural light. He often works with non-actors and on extremely tight budgets.
Once Upon a Time in Anatolia is only his sixth feature, yet Ceylan's body of work has collected an impressive array of awards. Clouds of May (1999) was nominated for the Golden Berlin Bear at Berlinale and won four awards at the Istanbul International Film Festival. The Town (1997) won the Caligari Film Award at Berlinale and several awards at Istanbul as well. He has enjoyed particular success at Cannes, where he has been nominated for the Palme d'Or four times—for Anatolia, Three Monkeys (2008), Climates (2006), and Distant (2002)—won Best Director for Three Monkeys and the Grand Jury Prize for Anatolia and Distant.

In his deposition, Bloomberg conceded that the most the company offered to do was to transfer Olszewski out of Lewis's unit, meaning she would still be working on the same wide-open sales floor, without any offices or partitions, as Lewis, who was regarded as a powerful figure within the department. Asked why the company didn't offer to move Lewis, Bloomberg said: "He seemed content with where he was." Lewis was not Olszewski's supervisor at the time of the alleged rape in 1993, but became her boss shortly afterwards, a sequence that assumed great importance in Bloomberg's deposition. Though Lewis was a senior executive within Olszewski's department, Bloomberg said it was only a violation of company policy if supervisors had sex with subordinates who "reported" to them.
Within a month of making the rape charge in 1995 Olszewski's attorney provided Bloomberg with the results of a lie detector test confirming her belief that Lewis had raped her. On the other hand, Lewis did not even take a polygraph during the company's supposed yearlong investigation. Instead he tookand passedthe test four days after he and the company were served with Olszewski's suit, contending that their hotel sexual encounter was so consensual she "guided" his "penis into her vagina."
In her own subsequent deposition, Olszewski said she and Lewis had been drinking, first in a larger group of coworkers and then alone and that she'd gone with him to his hotel room. She said he disrobed, surprised her from behind, pushed her pants down, and "all of a sudden" penetrated her. "He never touched my lips, never, ever," Olszewski testified. "All I can remember is, I kept trying to push this thing off me. He was so heavy. It was so frightening. It was weird. It was so alien. I remember my legs were all over going like this, my hips. I couldn't get him out of me." Lewis claimed she took her clothes off, told him what time to set the alarm for, and freely joined him.
Olszewski decided not to report the incidentclaiming she "didn't want to acknowledge that something like this happened"and tried to avoid social contact with Lewis, who, she said, pressured her repeatedly to go out for drinks. He also kept telling her she had "to prove" herself to him, which Olszewski took to mean that she should have sex with him, if she wanted to get more accounts and higher bonuses within the unit. She says she finally confronted Lewis when he cut her accounts during a reorganization and he allegedly said: "Well. You never proved to me that I should give you the accounts."
"What do you mean 'prove' to you?" Olszewski asked. "This is personal." Lewis testified that she then threatened to "show" him "just how personal I can make this." A day or two later, she, Lewis, and Eccleston had the 1995 meeting, and a frustrated Olszewski soon stopped coming to work, leading to her termination.
The Olszewski and Garrison cases combine to depict a sales floor where, as two men who formerly worked there, Jim Feingold and Rowland Hunt, put it in court documents, women "wore very short skirts, racy, unbusinesslike." Sexual comments and body-shot drinking games at company parties were reportedly commonplace, as were incidents like the office display of a brochure for sex toys, a female blow-up sex doll, and rubber breasts that squirted liquid from the nipples.
When Olszewski's attorney failed to file response papers and the suit was dismissed in March 1999, she dropped her lawyer and represented herself on appeal against Bloomberg's white-shoe law firm, Wilkie, Farr & Gallagher, losing again that December. But in 2000, another attorney, David Mair, began pressing a motion to vacate the default judgment against her on the basis of her prior lawyer's alleged "mental illness." Bloomberg attorneys resisted, arguing that Olszewski's lawyer had handled other cases in the same time frame "aggressively" and competently, leading U.S. District Court Judge Robert Patterson to quash Olszewski's subpoena for her prior lawyer's medical and disciplinary records.
But Pattersonthe same judge who'd dismissed the case in 1999was clearly conflicted, saying at an October 2000 hearing that his concern was that "there be justice here and not be some technicality standing in the way of justice," and speaking sorrowfully about "any possible injustice to the plaintiff." He also spoke of a possible settlement with Bloomberg, saying he was "sure that the parties have discussed settlement from time to time," but that he didn't "have any insight as to why, at this stage, there would be any hope of a settlement."
Accusing Olszewski's prior attorney of "raping this defense by not responding in a timely manner," he issued a ruling on December 12 safeguarding the lawyer's "privacy rights" but giving Olszewski 28 days to file the vacate papers he all but solicited. Had Olszewski submitted a motion to overturn the default ruling and Patterson granted it, the case would have been very much alive during Bloomberg's mayoral campaign. Patterson even extended the deadline but Olszewski never filed the motion, and the judge closed the case on February 20, 2001.
Within six days of the closing of the case, Olszewski, who was described by her attorney as unable to pay $14,769 in court disbursement costs, moved into a luxury condo at 300 South Pointe Drive in Miami Beach and set up an investment firm there. Bob Lennon, the broker for Portofino Towers, says Olszewski has expressed an interest in buying the two-bedroom, 2042-square-foot apartment, which rents for $5000 a month and would sell, he says, for about $840,000. On February 28 she closed the office of a Manhattan hedge fund firm she ran, changing the name to Madison Financial Management LLC and operating it out of her apartment in Florida, where she has five unlisted phone lines.

New Knowledge Base from Narconon Helps Parents Thwart Inhalant Abuse
International drug rehab and prevention network offers parents a new knowledge base to help them save young lives from the threat of inhalant abuse.
(PRWEB) January 24, 2014
Among pre-teens, inhalant abuse is an ever-present threat that parents may know little about. Many parents talk to their children about marijuana and alcohol abuse but may say little or nothing about inhalants and other drugs. But it is safe to say that every home in the country has a few or many sources of an inhalant "high" within reach of children. After all, even colored markers and whipped cream containers can be abused.
Each year, more than a half million young people try inhalants for the first time. They never realize that their first use – or any use after that – has the ability to kill them in seconds. According to the Monitoring the Future survey of students, two-thirds of the children surveyed did not think that abusing inhalants once or twice would be dangerous. By the time America's children turn twelve years old, nearly 7% have abused an inhalant, as reported in the annual National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
"Parents may not have a comprehensive source of information on inhalants," said Bobby Wiggins, drug prevention specialist at Narconon International. "To give them one location where they can learn all about this substance abuse problem and find solutions as well, we have released a whole package of helpful tools for the parents of teens and pre-teens."
This new information can be found at http://www.narconon.org/drug-abuse/inhalants/. Here, parents can find just what they need to start educating their children on this threat. Articles provided for parents include:
- What products in home or stores may be abused
- Effects and signs of abusing inhalants
- How to tell if someone is addicted to inhalants
- The six ways inhalants can kill
- The physical risks and harms of inhalant abuse
- Exactly how to approach this subject with children
- And many others.
"This is a complete package for parents," said Wiggins. "A short time on our website can provide the knowledge to make a parent comfortable with bringing the subject up and effective in preventing inhalant abuse. It is impossible to lock up every abusable product in a community, so parental education is vital."
This series of articles on inhalants joins others published by Narconon International. On the web page http://www.narconon.org/drug-abuse/, more than a hundred educational articles on dozens of drugs can be found.
For nearly fifty years, Narconon has been helping the addicted find stable recovery and preventing drug abuse through effective drug education. For more information, call 1-800-775-8750.

Move over Angus Young, I think I just bumped you from my list of all-time favorite guitar players, quite in favor of the belusted India Reynolds flashing her axe and her twin cans of goodness in this month's Loaded magazine.
Now, I wouldn't normally put topless sextastic women playing instruments as my favorite fantasy land motif, but I must say, seeing the smoking hot brunette, few clothes, and her six-string, well, I'm starting to have some rocker chick fantasies like you would not believe. Or, you probably would actually if you're already here. Enjoy.

Awesome Aussies
An extra-special relationship.
Sep 29, 2003, Vol. 9, No. 03 • By ROSS TERRILL
Downer answered the left-wing intellectuals: "They're obsessed with anti-Americanism," he told me. "It doesn't worry me, to tell you the truth. If that makes them feel good, so be it. But if you're a policymaker, you have to think about consequences. What sort of world would we live in if the United States took the advice of the gratuitous left and said it would wash its hands and go back to an earlier tradition of isolation? What would happen to nuclear proliferation? Everyone agrees we have to stop the spread of weapons of mass destruction. But who is actually going to do these things? People say through the U.N.: I have no problem with that as long as it is done! What do we do when the U.N. can't agree? Should we then leave the issue unaddressed? Would it have been right to allow Saddam Hussein to continue to defy international law? The anti-American mob are emotionally driven, not intellectually driven."
The Australian not-so-very-intelligentsia is in the grip of an illusion. The Labor party opposed the Iraq war because it said one more U.N. resolution was needed to give a green light. The head of the Centre for International and Public Law at a leading university with a straight face equates domestic law (of a democracy) with international law (presumably enforced by the U.N.). Such people would have Australia march down the impeccably multilateral path of the "no more war" Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928, whose futility led directly to the failure to deter Japan and Germany and hence to World War II.
The elite anti-Americanism is abstract, a wild anger at the state of the world, indeed at life itself. The left gatekeepers cannot reverse Howard's three electoral victories (1996, 1998, 2001), so they rail against the vast hovering cloud of American power and influence and denigrate Howard for being caught up in it. The environment is going to hell, the multinationals are everywhere, Africa writhes, war clouds terrify the kids, love and harmony are in short supply--Bush must be to blame! Call it foreign policy as psychology.
A disrespect for the views of ordinary Australian people is more serious. The alienated left has nearly given up on the democratic process. They "know" Howard is illegitimate just as they "know"--emails from American academic friends!--that Bush's victory over Gore was illegitimate. When the journalist for the Financial Review doubts that Australia any longer has a "fully functional liberal democracy," what he means is that the Labor party has lost three elections in a row.
For us in the United States, one lesson of Howard's eight-year ascendancy is that, vacuous as Blair's New Labour may be, Australia's Old Labor, trade union-based and mesmerized by an out-of-date academic left, is much worse. Another is that nothing Bush could ever do would sway Australian academics and the ABC (and others like them in Europe), so why not forge ahead with what he believes is right.
Finally, the democratic process faces real danger, in more than one country, from a stratum of left gatekeepers who simply don't believe in the legitimacy of a period of conservative rule. If any threat of a "repressive state" is on the horizon in Western democracies, it comes from the self-righteous left rather than from Bush, Blair, and Howard, who have reinvented themselves by responding to the common-sense instincts of their people.
Meanwhile the New York Times, which gave front-page coverage to anti-Howard protests over Iraq in Melbourne and Sydney, has never published an in-depth profile of Howard (compare its attention to Chirac, Schröder, de Villepin, and Joschka Fischer) or an examination of his three electoral triumphs.
Ross Terrill's new book is "The New Chinese Empire" (Basic Books). His "The Australians: The Way We Live Now" was published in Sydney in 2000 (Random House).

Five things to know about Stan Wawrinka, Grand Slam champion
Stanislas Wawrinka. Household name.
Tennis types have known him for years, but the new Swiss No. 1 is only now introducing him to the world stage after beating top-ranked Rafael Nadal on Sunday to win the Australian Open for his first career Grand Slam title.
FUN IN MELBOURNEThe Australian Open is in the books, and what a fortnight it was. Check out some shots of the lighter side of the event.
Not familiar with Stan the Man? Here's five things to know:
He is no fluke
Those not paying close attention will point to Nadal's injury problems during Sunday's final and say Wawrinka got lucky. But the Swiss was outclassing Nadal from the get-go and was actually up a set and a break before there was any hint of a problem with Rafa's back. Wawrinka actually played worse after that, dropping the third set to a clearly hobbled Nadal.
Beyond that, don't forget he also beat three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals one year after pushing him to the brink in the fourth round. Wawrinka is now the first man to ever beat Djokovic and Nadal in the same Grand Slam.
And it isn't just at this tournament that Wawrinka has found success. His quarterfinal run at Roland Garros in 2013 was his best result ever there, as was his semifinal showing at the US Open later on. Many have credited a new coaching partnership with former player Magnus Norman for Wawrinka's ascension.
He may have brought an end to the "Big Four" concept
It's strange these days to see a name etched on a Grand Slam trophy that isn't Nadal, Djokovic, Roger Federer or Andy Murray. Since the 2005 French Open, those four have combined for all but one of the game's most coveted prizes -- an unprecedented run in the Open Era for such a small number of players.
CLASSIC RIVALRYRoger Federer and Rafael Nadal have given us plenty of historic moments over the years. Relive the matches.
Enter Wawrinka, who joins Juan Martin del Potro (2009 US Open) as the only players besides the Big Four to get a taste in the past nine Slam cycles.
It's too early to say what the future holds for the 28-year-old Wawrinka, but he has the tools to be a contender. Del Potro, though still a top-10 player, has battled injuries ever since his breakthrough and has never returned to a Slam final.
He's done living in Federer's shadow
For the first time in 12 years, Roger Federer is not Switzerland's best player. Wawrinka will rise to No. 3 in the ATP rankings when they come out Monday, putting him ahead of his far more famous countryman and behind only Nadal and Djokovic.
Federer and Wawrinka have a close relationship. They won gold at the Beijing Olympics as a doubles tandem and Federer tweeted out support for Wawrinka during his Australian Open. Wawrinka will never achieve the status of Federer, but adding a Grand Slam title to the Swiss trophy case (the country now has 18 of them -- Federer's 17 and Wawrinka's one) assures him a piece of his own history.
He has an excellent, and appropriate, tattoo
A Samuel Beckett quote, written on his arm in blue script:
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail Better."

Wise words for a guy who needed 36 cracks at a Grand Slam main draw before winning a title.
He gave us two iconic Rafael Nadal photos

Takes quite a player to do that to Rafa. Well done, Stan.

Kelenna Azubuike's people say he'll be ready for the Knicks season opener
Sep 7, 2010, 6:43 PM EDT

Luis Scola looks like the best player at the World Championships
Sep 7, 2010, 4:56 PM EDT
Holy Scola Batman! Luis Scola made a pretty convincing case that it is he, not Kevin Durant, who has been the best player at the FIBA World Championships. Tuesday Scola had a stunning performance. Even the shots he tried to miss went in. Scola dropped in 37 points, shooting 13 of 19 inside the arc,…
Can Mario Chalmers become the Heat's spot-up guy?
Sep 7, 2010, 3:21 PM EDT
Mario Chalmers will be the starting point guard on opening night for the Miami Heat. But he will be a point guard in name only, at least in the classic definition. With Dwyane Wade and LeBron James on the floor, Chalmers will not be the guy with the ball in his hands dictating the offensive…
Toronto may be getting better Linas Kleiza than the one who left Denver
Sep 7, 2010, 2:55 PM EDT

Scout's list of five guys due for a breakout season
Sep 7, 2010, 2:13 PM EDT
A handful of things we know about this NBA season. The Lakers will be good. The Celtics will lose three straight and some columnist in Boston will write them off seemingly forgetting last season. Cleveland will struggle. But it is the surprises that make the season fun. The unexpected. Like the guys who surprise the…
Jamal Crawford still wants an extension or trade, still nothing happening
Sep 7, 2010, 1:40 PM EDT
We said it before but it bears repeating, the Atlanta Hawks are in no rush to move or extend the contract of Jamal Crawford.

Nate McMillan has plans for Rudy Fernandez in his training camp. What trade demand?
Sep 7, 2010, 11:39 AM EDT
Very vague trade speculation continue to float around Rudy Fernandez. The Bulls have some interest. The Knicks have some interest but they and Portland are not talking. Nothing seems to be moving on that front. Basically, despite Rudy Fernandez throwing a tantrum and threats of a holdout by his agent, he is still a Trail…

Cube-shaped robot balances on one corner and can move on its own
Cubli balances on one corner
The robot measures 15 cm (5.9 in) per side and contains three "momentum wheels," each one powered by its own brushless motor, and each located on a different face of the cube
Cubli stays balanced even on a tilted surface
Article Summary
Back in October, we heard about MIT's M-Blocks – they're metal cubes that use internal flywheels to hurl themselves around, sticking together magnetically to form simple structures. Now, scientists from ETH Zurich have unveiled something similar. Their Cubli cubic robot also uses flywheels to move around, plus it can actually balance on one corner.

Hides all the Gigya plugins that are displayed as popups (dialogs).
This is in particular important for AJAX pages, which "navigate" to another page in consequence of the user causing a popup to open (e.g. by clicking the 'edit' link on a Connect plugin).
Note: This method does not hide plugins that are embedded inside the application. A plugin is embedded inside the application if the containerID (for JS) / container (for AS3) parameter is passed to the plugins' method calls. In such case you may hide the plugin by erasing the content of the <DIV> / container object.
Method Parameters
The following table lists the params object members:
|A reference to a callback function. Gigya calls the specified function along with the results of the API method when the API method completes.
The callback function should be defined with the following signature: functionName(response).
The "Response object Data Members" table below provides specification of the data that is passed to the callback function.
|A string of maximum 100 characters length. The CID sets categories for transactions that can be used later for filtering reports generated by Gigya in the "Context ID" combo box. The CID allows you to associate the report information with your own internal data. For example, to identify a specific widget or page on your site/application. You should not define more than 100 different context IDs.
Note: This parameter overrides the value of the identical parameter in Global Conf (the global configuration object). If the parameter is not set for the method, the value from Global Conf is used.
|A developer-created object that is passed back unchanged to the application as one of the fields in the response object.
Response Object Data Members
|The result code of the operation. Code '0' indicates success, any other number indicates failure. For a complete list of error codes, see the Error Codes table.
|A short textual description of an error associated with the errorCode for logging purposes.
|The name of the API method that generated this response.
|The context object passed by the application as parameter to the API method, or null if no context object has been passed.
Code Sample
function printResponse(response) { if ( response.errorCode == 0 ) { alert('All the displayed Gigya Plugins, were hidden'); } else { alert('Error :' + response.errorMessage); } } gigya.socialize.hideUI({callback:printResponse});
- This sample is not meant to be fully functional code. For brevity's sake, only the code required for demonstrating the API call itself is presented.
- To run the code on your own domain, add your Gigya API key to the socialize.js URL. A Gigya API key can be obtained on the Site Dashboard page on Gigya's website. Please make sure that the domain from which you are loading the page is the same domain name that you used for generating the API key.
- In some cases it is necessary to connect/login the user to a provider? prior to calling the API method. You can learn more in the Social Login guide.

It's only a cup of coffee if you make it just a cup of coffee....
About me": Hmmmmm....I'm from a tiny town in Central NY. I'm tall and quiet, a little quirky but generally good company for someone who could care less about social norms. I like to cook, enjoy a cold beer, people watching, wandering aimlessly, sarcasm, un-pc (because people need to lighten the hell up and get a sense of humor again), anything that looks like a cheeseburger that ISNT a veggie patty, Van Halen, led zeppelin, newer country music, kissing, hugging (I'm very affectionate and think there isn't enough PDA in this world). I'm a JETS fan and invite you to publicly criticize me for that, college football, x-tra crispy chicken wings, British TV, Dr. Who, StarWars, fishing, getting dirty, giving back rubs, getting back rubs, getting a text from a pretty girl, the dirty rice at Cheddar, face timing with my kids, steaks at Longhorn, steaks at Chilis, steaks at Outback, steaks at home. Perhaps you are seeing a trend? I'm brand new to San Antonio and looking to make a new friend. It can be a casual dating thing or something more. I do tend to travel a lot for work but if I find a reason to stay in one place I certainly would... In a perfect world, and why can't we all have a perfect part of one at least, I would meet the one girl who would be my other half, missing puzzle piece and the person I share everything with. What's wrong with being each others real one and only and pretending the rest of the world "just doesn't get us"?

I applied the following java script:
function Confirm(e) {
if(!e) e = window.event;
//e.cancelBubble is supported by IE - this will kill the bubbling process.
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.returnValue = 'To be effective you need to complete the process and press [Finished].'; //This is displayed on the dialog
//e.stopPropagation works in Firefox.
if (e.stopPropagation) {
THat did the trick of warninghte user but it pops up when the user also clicks on
the button neceseary to complete the process i.e. the content-page buttons.
What I need is that this confirmation only appears when a button on the
master-page navigation is clicked WHILE looking at the content-page.
Any suggestions how to achieve that?
My idea is to add a check to the 12 buttons of my master-page navigation but
this check needs to check a value that is handled by the content-page.

Hi Helori,
The problem , as with all Java confirm pop ups, is that
they fire on WHATEVER button is clicked.
they even fire when I press the very SAVE button on my page itself.
I have at least 40 buttons that add,delete and select rows hence
it is a pain to write an exclusion list.
Is there a way to only fire the pop up when a button on my MASTERPAGE
is pressed i.e. not a button on the page BUT a button not on the page
i.e the masterpage(outside) ?
Oct 14, 2009 01:47 AM|ruki|LINK
The confirm popup fires on all your button click as your buttons does a postback to the server. the asp unload event is called not only during the window close event but also on postbacks and refreshes which is why your javascript have been firing on your
buttons. i do not know any easy solution for you but maybe you can try adding a "return false;" on the onclientclick properties of the buttons that you do not want to trigger the javascript

[about us] | [help]
[submit] | [clear] | [finish]
It has been a while but I need to bring this issue up again:)
Maybe I describe it better. Basically the user MUST click on FINISH before
clicking on submit,clear,about us, help. I will have to give
a warning every time (java pop up or modalpopup) unless he/she clicks FINISH.
The problem here is as well that some buttons are not on the form itself but
on the masterpage.

As you have already been told, window.onbeforeunload fires on EVERY unload of the page. A PostBack unloads the page. Here is how I have got around the problem:
<script type="text/javascript">
var g_isPostBack = false;
function windowOnBeforeUnload()
if ( g_isPostBack == true )
return; // Let the page unload
if ( window.event )
window.event.returnValue = 'Are you sure?'; // IE
return 'Are you sure?'; // FX
window.onbeforeunload = windowOnBeforeUnload;
// -->
In the CodeBehind:
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
this.ClientScript.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(this.GetType(), "OnSubmitScript", "g_isPostBack = true;");
Or in the Page_Load event handler, for EVERY control that you do NOT want the message to show, add:
Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "JavaScript: g_isPostBack = true;");
All other controls would show the alert message.

On SZA, Ferguson, and the New Black
|Screenshot of SZA's Tumblr comment
In her final comment, a Tumblr post, she backtracked, but stumbled, conceding that the situation in Ferguson was "absolutely" racial but asking her critics to stop seeing race: "Stop trying to make us different for the sake of frustration. I mentioned earlier that I've been saddened by ALL spectrums of hate and death be it black on black or white on black my mother raised me to believe ALL lives are valuable... I'm aware some of you will find a way to turn this into something negative as well. So be it."
Just so we clear #Ferguson is ABSOLUTELY about race I was merely noting the insanity of granting Martial Law and it's true foreshadowing.— SZA (@sza) August 14, 2014
See also: Exclusive Premiere: Stream and Download SZA's New EP S
Ain't nobody ever said we can't hurt that we can't fight for change. We don't have to treat EACH OTHER like fuckin dogs n the street. My God— SZA (@sza) August 14, 2014
Elsewhere in social media land, artists Jhene Aiko and Childish Gambino were also getting branded as New Blacks for their opinions on Ferguson. Aiko urged protesters to "pray for your enemy" while Gambino wrote a strange Twitter poem dismissing hashtag activism. Of course, The situation in Ferguson has, for the better, prompted many black artists to speak out - John Legend has been especially outspoken via his own Twitter while rapper J. Cole recently traveled down to Ferguson to join in the protests.
What's most interesting about these artist-fan exchanges is how passionately and vehemently fans react to artists who apparently fall in line with a kind of "we-all-bleed-red" or "I-don't-see-color" post-racial ideology that derails conversations about racism rather than contributing to them.
In a way, it's as if they feel lied to when an artist is conceived of as one "kind of black" -- conscious, deep, political -- and disappoints by seeming to be the opposite. In most of these cases, though, it's the myth of authenticity, the very myth that there can be any kind of right "blackness," that causes the confusion. Should SZA have anticipated the backlash and online hate she received for sharing her feelings on the tragedy? Probably. But the question also remains: should the fans have been all that surprised?

Here are five unique ways to celebrate with the bride.
With help from the Curious Grape (703-671-8700; curiousgrape.com), an Arlington wine shop, friends can host a private two-hour winetasting tailored to the bride. For $20 to $30 a person, Jed Gray and his staff come to your location with eight wines, stemware, decorations, and cheese and chocolate to pair with each pour. Most of Gray's wedding clients are brides—from novices to wine collectors—though he also hosts couples showers. Some tastings have themes: One bride wanted wines from South Africa, her honeymoon destination; others choose wines based on family origins. "We had a great one where one side was from Spain and the other from Argentina," Gray says. Other wine shops offering private tastings include Best Cellars in Dupont Circle and Arlington (202-387-3146; 703-741-0404) and Arrowine in Arlington (703-525-0990).
After hours at Sylene, a lingerie and swimwear boutique in Chevy Chase, a bride and her friends can have the store all to themselves. Customized bridal packages often include one-on-one tutorials on choosing flattering and comfortable lingerie, swimwear, and sleepwear. The staff will set out wine and cheese, Champagne, dessert, or other requests as guests mingle and shop.
Co-owners Cyla Weiner and Helen Kestler talk to the bride ahead of time about what she likes to wear, then help her set up a registry. For surprise showers, guests choose gifts that day. "At one party, each girl picked a sexy sleepwear piece for the bride to try on, and everybody voted," Weiner says. Prices start at $150 for a two-hour party with ten guests; goody bags include a $10 Sylene gift certificate. Call 877-953-6332 or visit sylenedc.com.
Nail Taxi, an Alexandria-based mobile nail boutique, arrives with cocktails for a manicure/pedicure party. For $29 to $72 a person, four or more guests choose from classic manis and pedis or specialty services including "cool citrus breeze" and "cinnamon bun," a brown-sugar-based treatment that moisturizes hands and feet. Sara Franklin, a planner with Northern Virginia Bridal Services, was invited to a Burger & Beauty shower: "They had ladies doing manicures and pedicures and food from Five Guys. What could be better?" Call 800-290-1853 or visit nailtaxi.com.
Cooking instructors Ed and Jinny Fleischman of Company's Coming in Northwest are fitting hosts for a prewedding party: They've been married and working together for more than 30 years. Company's Coming (202-966-3361; companycoming.com) offers in-home cooking classes during which the bride and her friends prepare a three-course lunch or dinner.
The Fleischmans, who trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, provide recipes, drinks, and hors d'oeuvres. Their specialties include Italian and Portuguese cuisine, but they'll help make any meal the hosts request—often the bride or groom's favorite dishes. At a recent bachelor party, a first for the Fleischmans, the groom did all the cooking. "His friends thought it would be fun," says Jinny. "They spent most of the time with Ed talking about grilling." Prices range from $70 to $85 a guest for three hours.
Who says pole dancing is only for bachelor parties? Amy Staten's Clinton-based company, Pole Divas (301-675-4391; poledivasonline), organizes parties for 6 to 25 women to learn basic pole-dancing moves—what Staten calls the "12 steps to sexy." She sets up a pole in the host's living room, along with a fog machine and props including feather boas and pink leopard-print hats. Staten, a Web designer, has introduced more than 300 people to pole dancing since starting Pole Divas last year.
"We were a little timid at first," says Holly Clarke King, who cohosted a bachelorette party in Alexandria in March, "but Amy managed to bring out the wild side of a group of conservative, preppy girls—without making us feel uncomfortable." Prices start at $180 for a group of six; it's $35 for each additional guest.

Originally Published: June 17, 2003By Jim Caple | ESPN.com
It may be the fiercest rivalry in baseball history, with the possible exception of Peter Gammons and Bobby V.
The Yankees and Red Sox? The Giants and Dodgers? The Cubs and Cardinals? Nah, I'm talking about the Seattle Mariners and the San Diego Padres, a rivalry that extends all the way back to the late '90s.

BYD Rises After Report Electric Cars Exempted From Usage Tax
Jan. 16 (Bloomberg) -- BYD Co., the automaker partly owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., rose to a two-month high in Hong Kong after the People's Daily today reported China's government will exempt three of the company's electric car models from vehicle-usage tax charges.
BYD gained as much as 6.7 percent to HK$22.20, the highest intraday level since Nov. 15, before changing hands at HK$21.50 as of 1:45 p.m. in Hong Kong. The stock has risen 28 percent this year, compared with a 3.1 percent increase in Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index.
As many as 42 electric passenger cars were exempted from payment of vehicle-usage tax earlier this month amid efforts by the Chinese government to encourage use of electricity and other alternative energy in personal transportation. The existing annual usage levy ranges between 60 yuan ($9.50) and 5,400 yuan based on engine size.
BYD, which started sales of its E6 electric cars to individual buyers in November, is counting on such vehicles for future growth as it faces slowing demand and mounting competition with gasoline-run autos. BYD sold a total of 309 E6 cars to taxi-fleet operators and individual motorists in the first 11 months of last year, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.

Whether the love of great watches stems from the perspective of a collector or a lover of jewelry, there are various upscale sources from which to select.
Many vaulted manufacturers of wristwatches are with histories preceding the 18th century. However, there are relatively new firms. But they too are steep with experience, as one does not ascend to being a master watchmaker overnight. There are various limited-edition wristwatches available meriting a look-see. Here is a dozen of the best we have encountered over the past year. As our list expands, we will update our findings and report those to you on a timely basis.
Richard Mille has wonderful gift solutions when the plan involves buying for two. For the couple inextricably linked, Richard
Mille offers limited-edition wristwatches of extraordinary quality for both sexes that are appreciatively masculine and feminine, respectively. Let's add a femme twist to chivalry and begin with the men's item.
Most women don't want to be associated in any way with a whale...unless they're eating caviar or wearing an Ebel watch. The Beluga line represents, ironically, a graceful and uncompromising interpretation of seductive elegance.
Blancpain has produced haute timepieces for men and women since 1735. Yearly the prominent Switzerland-based watch manufacturer puts up a one-off wristwatch for auction to benefit the Monaco Association of Muscular Dystrophy (Association Monegasque contre la Myopathie) during the Monaco Yacht Show. This year's selected timepiece for the
Only One auction was Le Brassus. Its suggested retail price is $135,000. The results of the auction have not yet been officially announced.
