Showing off her amazing physique, Kate Mara is featured in the new issue of Esquire magazine and it turns out she's much more than a pretty face with an amazing body.
They had such a good time with their last collaboration that Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne couldn't wait to work together again.
The 22-year-old up-and-comer poses next to the legendary Ms. Moss in a new spread for Burberry's new fragrance My Burberry, under the watchful eye of famed photographer Mario Testino.
Showing off her charitable side, Bella Thorne got all gussied up in a two-piece white jumpsuit and headed over to the Beverly Hilton Hotel last night (June 30).
Joined by boyfriend Gregg Sulkin, the "DUFF" dame attracted plenty of attention as she flirted up a storm for the cameras.
It's one of the most-anticipated films of the fall season and "Steve Jobs" just got a brand new trailer to begin building the hype.
His new movie "Magic Mike XXL" is already stirring up all kinds of excitement and Channing Tatum may even consider doing a Vegas show down the road.
It's almost time for the Fourth of July, and Sports Illustrated just unveiled a slew of sexy snapshots of Hannah Davis for their Summer of Swim feature.
Shot by photographer Justin Marquis at the Gansevoort Park Avenue, the new feature finds Ms. Davis in a variety of provocative poses while wearing some seriously skimpy swimwear.
They've gotten to know each other pretty well on the set of their show "True Detective" and it sounds like Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch have taken a shining to each other.
Following a dinner date at Osteria Mozza on June 2nd, the "Mean Girls" gal and the "John Carter" hunk have become an official item.
Gearing up for an outbound flight, Miranda Kerr was all smiles as she showed up at LAX International Airport on Tuesday (June 30).
The 32-year-old supermodel looked lovely in a blue and white dress with a black jacket and white sneakers as she scurried inside to avoid the shutterbugs.
"I am proud of my position as a boss, as a person that runs my own company. I'm an entrepreneur… I don't want to shy away from it. I actually want to kind of grab it by its balls."

This mod will add three new armies with new features. First is ASI, this faction was spawned by five scientist from the Black Hand which saw after much research, had decided that the best way to ascend is through technology, not Tiberium. Thus creating the first true Artificial Intelligence known to man. The second army will be a monstrous creature army that the Scrin have feared for many years, "The Colony." These creatures will be tiberium infested and will leave nothing left standing. These mindless things also don't know what technology is and they do not use power. They are a sickness that has no cure, but to destroy them... Lastly is Dream 51, an army that is a remainder of the United States government military force.

Hey, he loves his job, give the guy a break. This is NBA referee Joey Crawford making a blocking call on Chris Duhon at the end of the LA Lakers vs. Indiana Pacers game last night. The call came with 1:15 remaining in the fourth quarter and the game tied at 74-74. The Pacers ended up winning the game on a last second layup by George Hill. Who Let the Dogs Out, Joey Let the Dogs Out. Check out the dance video below. Someone sign him to a music video contract.

Noooooooo! Why Sheryl Crow? She's given us 20 years of happy beach music and this is how the universe repays her? "I worried about my memory so much that I went and got an MRI. And I found out I have a brain tumor," the singer admitted to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Luckily, Crow's tumor is benign. Seeing as how she famously wrestled breast cancer to the ground in 2006, we have faith Crow's going to be back on stage in no time. But still! It ain't right.
In her interview, Crow also discusses that gig in St. Petersburg, Florida last month when she straight-up forgot the lyrics to "Soak Up the Sun," a pretty conspicuous flub considering every American below the age of 90 and above the age of 9 knows that song by heart. "Oh, what's the words? It's live! Nothing on tape here!" Sheryl joked at the time, telling the crowd, "I'm 50 what can I say! My brain has gone to s—!" Man, if we ever forgot any Sheryl Crow songs, we're gonna to start freaking out. Doctors should start including "Crow forgetfulness" in the list of benign brain tumor symptoms. If you can't at least get through the chorus of "My Favorite Mistake," straight to the MRI machine you go!

Dear Stan,
Concerning your statements on certainty: I can refer you to my remarks:
'The evidence of the above lends weight to the validity of AGW but 100% certainty will only exist after the fact. '
'The big IF precludes faith. Faith involves 100% belief in something regardless of the evidence. Empiricism follows the evidence and provides no guarantees, changing its mind as new evidence comes to light. '
What this means is that I do not have 100% firm confidence where there is genuine uncertainty, due to both known unknowns and unknown unknowns. Thus, I am about 95% confident in AGW.
What I notice, (but I am not accusing you of this) is that some are more confident in their belief than I, and more convinced that AGW in not happening than I am that it is.
I cannot reproduce your error with the Nature link so regretfully I cannot help you in this regard.

I'm a self-taught artist and crafter to uses crafting as a way to tell my story and discover new things about myself. After leaving my 15-year career as a board-certified Music Therapist, I stared my blog CraftTherapy as a way to share what I was doing with my family and friends. Soon, though, I found that many folks- NOT just family and friends- were interested in my opinions and experiments with craft products, and so CraftTestDummies.com was born in January 2009.
At CTD, you'll find plenty of craft and art product reviews, inspiration, learn about the craft industry, follow me on crafty field trips (even visits to the Martha Stewart Show!) , and of course there are plenty of free, step-out tutorials so you can make your own crafty goodness. My motto is "Make something of yourself" and I try every day, with every blog post, to educate and encourage my readers to do just that!
You can also connect with me on my Facebook Page, Twitter (@crafttestdummy) and even follow my Stumbles and Pins on Pinterest!
When I'm not crafting, I'm a musical mommy and social media consultant living in the greater Cleveland area with my husband of 15 years, 2 kids, a dog and assorted outdoor koi, just trying to keep it all straight! : )

26 year old woman | Red Hook, NY, USA | Seeking men 25-35 within 25 miles
Life is a two way street....
I am a down to earth person, with a sense of humor, and completely random. I'm looking for someone who can compliment those qualities, but who can be fun, spontaneous, and just as random back. I'm honest and loyal and I expect the same courtousy. I'm a laid back and an easy going person, but i'm very independent at the same point. Im looking for someone who will dance with me at 2 am when I have the sudden random urge to dance. ( ok maybe not 2 am but you get the point...) But I want someone who I can hold a conversation with and tell my day to. Someone who will randomly just go for a drive with me, or go air ballooning, or hiking through the woods, or just curl up on the couch with me and watch a good movie. I'm looking for someone who wants a commitment and not just a fling. I'm looking for someone who is good with kids. My son is the highlight of my life and the apple of my eye, but when it comes to him, I'm very protective. Which I assume is the nature of any parent. If you want to know anything else, just ask.

I haven't been to many places but would love to travel abroad one day. I love building sand castles in the sand, so any beach is good. Locally I enjoy hiking where the climb is a slight challenge, but the views are amazing.
Keiser University, Fort Lauderdale, FL
I like a wide variety of music, from today's hits, to country, to the rock n roll, to anything. Depending on the day will depend on what i listen to. Just not a fan of classical.
I spend most of my time with my son, but I enjoy hanging out with friends, going to the movies, hiking around the area, and reading a good book.
When I find a new author I tend to read almost everything they have written, but my new authors are James Patterson, and Nora Roberts.

State integrity news for Oklahoma, from the Oklahoman:
While it is common for caucus meetings, which are private, to involve strategy and policy discussions as well as internal votes on issues or leadership picks, it's unusual for a closed caucus to be made the forum for final action on a bill.
Each party's caucus names members to leadership positions for a reason. Those leaders have to be willing to take the heat for hard choices if they want to enjoy the perks of the power.
Read the rest of the story at the Oklahoman.

Indexing and Search Service Web Service API
This information provides an overview and describes the HTTP GET parameters currently supported in Indexing and Search Service (ISS).
Overview of ISS Web Service API
The ISS web service API is a RESTful web service. It takes a URI through HTTP GET and returns search results by following the OpenSearch 1.1 specification in either RSS 2.0, Atom 1.0, or JSON format.
The search URI consists of http://iss-host:port/rest/search and mandatory q= and optional parameters. The default port is 8080.
These examples assume that you are already logged in to ISS. To log in, navigate to http://iss-host:port/rest.
The following search returns all emails with test in the subject line for user1 on the email server demo.example.com.
More sample URIs can be found at the welcome page, http://iss-host:port/rest.
HTTP GET Parameters
The following sections describe the HTTP GET parameters that are currently supported.
- Search Query Parameter
- Optional Data Type Parameter
- Optional Format Parameter
- Optional Sort Parameter
- Optional Start Index Parameter
- Optional Count per Page Parameter
- Optional Content Format Parameter
- Optional Thumbnail Parameter
- Optional JavaScript Callback Parameter (JSON Format Only)
- Optional Timeout Parameter
Search Query Parameter
The search query needs to follow the Lucene query parser syntax using a specific list of Lucene field names that were used for indexing the content. For more information, see Indexing and Search Service Query and Sort Criteria Summary.
Optional Data Type Parameter
The optional data type parameter enables you to search across all data types or a specific data type within ISS indexed data. Currently, ISS supports only the email data type.
Optional Format Parameter
The optional format parameter enables a client to receive search results in either RSS 2.0, Atom 1.0, or JSON format per OpenSearch 1.1 specification. The default is RSS.
Optional Sort Parameter
The optional sort criteria enables you to sort search results based on particular criteria. Currently, only a subset of indexed field names can be sorted on by ISS. You can find a complete list of sort criteria for the email data type here.
Optional Start Index Parameter
The optional start index enables a client to choose from which number to return the search result. The default start index is 0.
Optional Count per Page Parameter
The optional number of search results per page enables a client to request a specific number of returned items. The default number of results per page is 10. This number can be used with or without the optional start index parameter.
Optional Content Format Parameter
The optional contentFormat selector enables a client to request additional formatting for results returned from a search call. The default format is standard format (for email, currently). When the standard content format is specified, the results contain IMAP URIs providing a compact representation of the account, folder, and UID of the message with the match.
The IMAP URI should be consumed by an IMAP client to provide access to the data. The URI will not be directly usable by a web browser.
Other formats that can be specified are attachmentOnly, simpleUID, and MJS. When attachmentOnly is specified, each result contains URLs to the original attachment and any thumbnails that correspond to it (refer to thumbnail= option below). Also, the totalResults and count-per-page values returned refer to the number of attachments located, not the number of emails. When simpleUID is specified, the result for each entry contains only the UID number of the matched email. This option applies only when format=ATOM. It is intended to speed up queries to a single folder, such as those queries through IMAP. When MJS is specified (only valid when format=JSON), the output is formatted in compact WMAP (webmail) format.
Optional Thumbnail Parameter
The optional thumbnail size enables a client to request the size of the thumbnail referenced when the contentFormat=attachmentOnly option is also specified. The DEFAULT size causes no thumbnail URL to be generated. Other sizes that can be specified are S, M, L, and XL for small, medium, large, and extra large. If one of these sizes is specified, a URL reference for that size thumbnail appears in the description field of each result.
Optional JavaScript Callback Parameter (JSON Format Only)
This feature is available starting with Indexing and Search Service 1 Update 1.
function_name({ "title": "iss-host:iss-port search: search-query", "link": "http://iss-host:iss-port/rest/search?q=search-query&c=100&format=json", "modified": "Mon Feb 08 22:02:48 GMT 2010", "opensearch:totalResults": "0", "opensearch:startIndex": "0", "opensearch:itemsPerPage": "100", "items": [ ] })
Optional Timeout Parameter
This feature is available starting with Indexing and Search Service 1 Update 1.
The optional timeout parameter enables a client to request how many milliseconds to wait for a search query response before returning from a search request. If the search response was not obtained before the timeout, a 500 error (Waiting for response timed out on request) is returned. The default timeout is specified in jiss.conf with the iss.searchsvc.response.timeout parameter.

5 Guns to buy before a potential ban
Will an actual ban on certain guns- or all guns- actually happen? Maybe not. But what if….?
Will an actual ban on certain guns- or all guns- actually happen? Maybe not. But what if….?

"They were babies" echoes in my head as I contemplate my position on gun ownership. A stalwart defender of the right to bear arms, I have been in troubled contemplation these last few days over the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.
The evil committed was and is indefensible, reprehensible.. devil himself kind of thing. Even if Mr. Lanza were so imbalanced, at what point did going after 6 year old children seem like an outlet? My daughter is 7.
I was unable to write a single news story, tweet or facebook post for days. We even had our Christmas party and I could not intelligently address the questions asked by all those who knew me to be an avid hunter, collector, competitor and gun business owner. I just couldn't talk about it then. I can barely do it now.
I remember reading one of the first articles after the tragedy. The very first reader comment said "It is now time to repeal the second amendment". I lost my breath. Could any American really believe that their government could never become so all-powerful as to abridge their basic human rights? Could this tragedy be the tipping point where Americans cede there rights in order to feel more safe?
This tragedy against innocents, children, was something no one can get a handle on and it is forcing irrational moves. The attack makes no sense and humanity seeks a God-like solution in the absence of God. That solution for them is government. Our society has nothing left to turn to but a government bent on taking as much power as the people will give it.
Many are calling for a national discussion on firearms restrictions. Throwing out odd comments like "I only put three bullets in my gun when I hunt", the left is pushing a false narrative to achieve their ultimate goal – total gun control.
Gun ownership isn't just about hunting. The second amendment wasn't contemplated so that 236 years later we could hunt deer. Restricting that right limits the threat to future tyrants. How would the revolutionary war have gone if King Henry's Redcoats had muskets and the colonists had been disallowed the use of current firearms? Our second amendment is about giving the rest of the Constitution the teeth it needs.
Now we watch as our representatives discuss how sharp or how many our teeth may be. Soon they will discuss whether we need teeth at all. I worry that the majority in America are willing to disarm in the false belief that they will then be more secure. Benjamin Franklin knew better when he said "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Killers like Harris, Klebold, Loughner, Holmes and more were going to do what they did. Their souls were dark. All of them Atheists, some from broken homes, on some sort of psychological medication and unfit for society.
I worry about one of these soulless creatures driving a Toyota through the car pick-up line at my children's school now. Seemingly, parents, teachers and medical professionals are unable to either diagnose, treat or even identify people with these afflictions.
I am an unassailable champion of individual liberties. Those liberties should extend so far as they do not imperil another's freedoms. This kind of tragedy brings into question for many where that line lies.
Should Loughner and Lanza have been committed? I believe so. Why weren't they? Many around them thought they were both "bombs soon to go off" so why wasn't that the indication that psychological evaluation was necessary? When will our school and medical professionals be better able to identify warning signs?
Mental instability is certainly at the heart of the Newtown murders. There is no other explanation for a 20 year old man killing 6 year old children – none. It is also the cause of the Colorado theater tragedy, Columbine and so much more.
We've focused on the methods those men used to kill at every opportunity, but when will we focus on the reasons? Because politics drives so much of what we do these days, I expect we never will. Perhaps because we have been taught that it is impolite or not politically correct to point out that someone might have a mental illness. It is far easier to blame the inanimate object – the weapon.
Had it not been a rifle, it would have been plowing through the bus line in his mother's car, a homemade bomb or some other means to accomplish what he had already planned – he was committed to this outcome.
The previous assault weapons ban was in place when Columbine happened. In fact, it had been in place for five years. What thinking American believes that those Godless young men would not have found another way to do what they did no matter what laws had been passed? Once someone reaches the level of conviction that includes their own suicide, there are no deterrents – NONE.
Of course the anti-gun lobby will focus on the gun(s) as the reason for the tragedy. To them, it is totally logical that tragedy is impossible if guns are restricted. If wishes were horses…
Just last week in China a man stabbed 22 kids with a knife at an elementary school. In 2010, 20 children were killed in knife attacks.[2] Those evil men found other means in a society where guns are highly-restricted. The real question should center on why these men feel it necessary to take out their anger on children and how to identify them earlier.
We rarely, if ever, hear about the Americans saved each year by conscientious, gun-owning citizens. Although it is estimated that between 2.5 and 7 million crimes are prevented each year by someone using a gun in defense[1], those stories don't make headlines – it takes a tragedy to make headlines. How many lives have been saved by gun ownership? How many were saved by a gun owner with a concealed gun permit when he stopped a mass killing from happening in Oregon? That story was successfully buried.
Gun crimes committed by legal gun owners is infinitesimal. Regulating those people more will do nothing and is a shameful way to honor those children murdered by an evil human being. If we are having an honest dialogue about how to prevent tragedies such as Newtown, we have to admit that we cannot legislate a perfect world and focus on identifying and helping troubled young men like Kliebold, Loughner and Lanza – or at a minimum, getting them off the streets before they harm others or themselves.
We seem focused on the manner instead of the intent. There is no law that can be passed that would prevent someone bent on the death of innocents from carrying it out – especially if they are willing to take their own lives in the process. An honest discussion would focus on the murderer and how to identify people like him before more tragedies erupt. If an honest discussion was what everyone at the table actually wanted.

West Virginia Democrat Senator Joe Manchin, a member of the NRA, calls for Congress to move toward restricting assault weapons, saying of the Newtown, Connecticut massacre: "It has changed me."
Just like the majority of police officers who never have to fire their gun during the course of a career, most civilians will never be shot at while watching a movie, browsing in a shopping mall or attending school. But for those few that do have the misfortune to be an unwilling participant in an ambush here are a few rules of thumb you may find useful.
The police can't protect you. The Aurora, CO police force is a fine, highly motivated department — I know because the police association was formerly my client. There were officers already at the theatre for the midnight showing of Batman to deal with the anticipated crowd. Only 90 seconds elapsed between the first 911 call and officer's arrival on scene. This is a spectacular response time. Yet 12 people were already dead and 58 wounded. Which is why they are called "first responders" and not "first preventers."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D–Disarmed) won't protect you. Feinstein wants Congress to renew her "assault weapons" ban. "Assault weapons" or "assault rifles" are no different from regular rifles, they only look scary. For example: the bayonet lug on the muzzle. (Yet, when is the last time you read of bayonet wounds during one of these attacks?)
"Assault weapon" is simply a propaganda term designed to alarm the public. Federal law already bans machine guns, which are authentic military assault weapons. The Washington Times points out FBI figures "show just 358 of the 8,775 murders by firearm in 2010 involved rifles of any type. By comparison, 745 people were beaten to death…but no one has called for outlawing fists."
Cinemark won't protect you. Colorado citizens with a permit are allowed to carry a concealed weapon. Cinemark corporate minions know themselves to be much wiser than a mere legislator, so they banned weapons inside the theatre. Sure enough not one of the law–abiding citizens had a gun, but the law–breaker had plenty. Cinemark is already being sued, but it's the wrong lawsuit. What we need is for Cinemark know–it–alls to be sued by a permit holder left defenseless by their asinine policy.
Gun–Free Zones = Sitting–Duck Zones. When is it going to dawn on liberal gun–grabbers that gun–free zones only notify the shooter he won't be subject to return fire? One gun owner in the audience could have made all the difference. At Columbine the police officer assigned to the school engaged those two shooters before they went inside.
During the brief gunfight, the shooters were so rattled they couldn't even hit the cruiser the officer was crouched behind! These cowards don't want to die, they want you to die. If the Aurora gunman had heard a round whizz past his ear it could have changed the entire complexion of the evening.
Unless you've been shot and can't get away, avoid talking to the media. "Father of the Year" nominee Jamie Rohrs is a perfect example. During an interview with CNN, Rohrs described his reaction when the shooting started. "My son's on the floor, as I turned to, like, find Ethan in the dark of the theater, with the gas, like, I'm so disoriented and I lose him, I just lose him. Then he opens fire again. So I jump, and I run."
During the time three other men are dying while they shield their girlfriends from the bullets — and are consequently unavailable for interview— Jamie thinks, like, "feets, don't fail me now" and leaves his 4–month–old rolling around on the floor, like, during a stampede. Safely outside he generously hopes his son and his girlfriend get out alive. Fortunately, his girlfriend only had a "small bullet wound" so Rohrs subsequently proposed to her in the hospital. I'm sure the ceremony will be fine unless when Jamie says, "until fear of death do us part" brings back bad memories for his girlfriend.
Only you can save you. I urge conservatives reading this to apply for a concealed carry permit and take the training necessary to use a gun to defend yourself and your family. Liberals, who believe merely being in the same room with a gun — let alone owning one — is sign of serious mental illness, are more difficult to advise. Progressives might try shopping at pawn brokers. Employees are usually armed, which deters shooters. Or stay at home and use Amazon. Always sit near the exit in theatres. Wear a bullet–proof vest. Avoid hip–hop concerts or events that attract hip–hop performers. Marry a police officer. Stay hydrated. (Whoops, wrong column.)
NRA-ILA is starting a new campaign to inform gun owners and those that want to become gun owners of the dangers the current administration poses to their second amendment rights.
The second amendment to the constitution does not afford the government the right to decide how you exercise your right to bear arms, it instead restricts the government from infringing upon that right.
For those that have a gun for the occasional trip to the range or that don't hunt regularly, the idea that the government is already trying to strip them of their right to do so may not be apparent. The NRA has distilled the actions and plans of President Obama into a shareable and informative fact sheet (click the image below to download your own larger version to share with others).
Share this post and the fact sheet with every gun owner or prospective gun owner you know. If you don't protect your right to bear arms, who will?

How to Pack Your American Girl Doll for a Vacation
Finally the time has come, it is time for your vacation. But there is two questions. What doll should you take and how should you pack for her?
First, what doll should I take? You don't want to bring a doll with curly hair or hair that will be hard to manage while you are on vacation, while you bring your doll, you may not always want to care for her on your trip. Bring a doll with short hair, or straight hair. Something like Julie, Kit or Isabelle GOTY 2014.
- It's best to bring one pair of pajamas, a travel outfit, a loose dress, and a dinner dress.
- For accessories bring hair supplies, your doll's pet, and a few purses.
- For long-haired dolls, a braid would keep it together.
- If you are bringing accessories make sure to put them away when done, and for travel keep them in a bag.
- Make sure all the velcro is together on the clothes, or they will stick together and get messed up... You don't want that!
- If you go somewhere that's really hot, you can bring a bathing suit for her.
- If you are going to take pictures, there might be some clothes that you want to iron before you bring.
- If you bring two dolls you might want to use the same clothes for both
- Also, a French braid is a good idea for hairstyles to use on the plane.
- If you want to bring a lot of clothes, fold tightly.
- If you have time, buy a small reusable bag to put your Doll's items in. They are extremely inexpensive, and are really cute! Also,if you can buy an 18 inch (45.7 cm) Doll carrying case and it will be just fine!
- Make sure you don't take accessories like :glasses because they might fall off.
- Don't put your doll down!
- You might lose her.
- Make sure that you don't bring accessories like glasses because they might fall off.
- Put her hair back in a ponytail.
Things You'll Need
- 1-5 outfits
- 1-2 pajamas
- 1-4 accessories
- A duffel, or tote bag
- Hair care items
- Skin care items

The Treasure of San Gennaro: Baroque Silver from Naples
- Dates: October 28, 1987 through January 18, 1988
- Collections: Decorative Arts
... more
Date unknown, 1987: The Treasure of San Gennaro: Baroque Silver from Naples, an extraordinary exhibition of 48 works of art -- including fourteen large silver sculptures, as well as other silver objects, paintings and textiles -- never before seen outside that Italian city, will open at The Brooklyn Museum October 28 and remain on view through January 18, 1988. The works, drawn from the riches of the Chapel of the Treasure of San Gennaro in the Naples Cathedral, date primarily from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and reflect the luxury and splendor of Neapolitan Baroque and Rococo artistic production.
The Treasure of San Gennaro is part of Italy on Stage, a cultural festival sponsored by the Italian Government. The exhibition is held under the sponsorship of the Regione Campania, the Soprintendenza ai Beni Artistici e Storici di Napoli and the Delegazione della Reale Cappella del Tesoro di San Gennaro. It was made possible, in part, by grants from the Regione Campania and Italstat, Rome.
"These astonishingly expressive silver sculptures, which resulted from the expert collaboration of inspired artists and master craftsmen, speak to us of religious fervor, material wealth and consummate artistry," commented Robert T. Buck, Director of The Brooklyn Museum. "Along with the other masterly objects in the exhibition, they successfully span the gap between art and folklore, between objects of worship and creations of universal aesthetic significance," he said.
The Honorable Francesco Corrias, Consul General of Italy in New York, in commenting on the Italy on Stage festival that will be held in New York City, stated:
"This two-month long artistic and cultural event is a panoply of Italian theater, opera, cinema, chamber and orchestral music, sculpture and painting. I am pleased that this festival, which celebrates the Italian creative spirit, will be a significant contribution to the Italian Cultural Month taking place in October, and more generally, to the cultural life of this great city itself."
San Gennaro, the patron saint of Naples, was Bishop of Benevento, near Naples, at the close of the third century A.D. He was imprisoned, tortured and finally beheaded in A.D. 305 by the Emperor Diocletian. His blood, collected in two vials at the time of his martyrdom, is said to liquify twice a year in what has come to be known as the "miracle of San Gennaro."
The cult of San Gennaro reached its height in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the building of the Chapel of the Treasure was begun in 1608 with an architectural competition won by Francesco Grimaldi, an architect-priest renowned at the time. Work on the Chapel continued until the mid-eighteenth century, with famous artists and craftsmen -- among them Luca Giordano, Domenichino, and Jusepe Ribera --commissioned to supply frescoes, sculptures and ornaments. Working in precious materials, artists such as Lorenzo Vaccaro, Giuseppe Sanmartino and Michele Lofrano created ornamental candlesticks, objects for the mass and large reliquaries in the form of busts of the saints.
Among the more notable works included in the exhibition are: the sculpture of young Tobias with the angel Raphael (1797), cast in silver by the brothers Giuseppe and Gennaro del Giudice from a clay model created by Giuseppe Sanmartino, one of the foremost architects and sculptors of the period; a pair of monumental silver candelabra, which measure over eleven feet in height, by Filippo del Giudice; and the twelve silver busts of popular saints, some of which measure over five feet tall.
The installation at The Brooklyn Museum is coordinated by Kevin L. Stayton, Curator of Decorative Arts.
Italy on Stage is sponsored by the Consulate General of Italy and the Italian Cultural Institute, New York. It is under the aegis of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Tourism and Performing Arts, and the Ministry of the Arts, with the patronage of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, and the participation of Italian regional administrations. Sponsors of the festival are: Alitalia, Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura, Banca Commerciale Italiana, Ente Nazionale Energia Elettrica ENEL, Enichem USA, Italia di Navigazione, Itaistat, Lega Nazionale Cooperative e Mutue, Sofin, Unioncamere, and Italcable. Italy on Stage is coordinated by Centro Servizi Spettacolo, Roma.

The Metro Baseball League is the largest independent youth baseball league in the country. We remain independent for many reasons, number one being, it gives our members more options to attend National Tournaments. Last year alone, many of our teams participated at Cooperstown Dreams Park, CABA, Super Series, AAU, USSSA, Babe Ruth, and Little League postseason tournaments.
We have a close working relationship with Cooperstown Dreams Park, CABA, AAU, and AABC but remain independent rather than requiring our teams to affiliate with any one group.
The Metro Baseball League has decided not to restrict or steer any of our teams from participating in any National Tournament, and to not penalize or subject the teams that don't participate to the fees that are associated with a National organization affiliation.

The Harlem Shake is everywhere. It's hit clubs here and abroad, giving soccer fans some really entertaining videos to watch.
And now the craze has even taken over MLSsoccer.com. Don't worry, it's only for a few seconds. Enjoy!
In an interview with EuroSport.com, French defender Pascal Chimbonda admits to following MLS and says he'd like to play in the US.
"I would like to play in the USA, this is a dream," Chimbonda said. "I feel close to this culture and I appreciate it."
Chimbonda is currently without a club since he left Doncaster the end of last season and hopes to give his career a jump start during this transfer window – and from the sound of it, the US seems to be his top choice.
When asked about the possibility of joining his former teammate Thierry Henry in New York, Chimbonda's answer only emphasized his desire to join any team in MLS.
"There are other clubs in MLS," Chimbonda said. "I know some clubs are looking for good defenders. I'm 33 and a right side, you are far from being cooked at this age."
What team do you think would the best fit for Chimbonda? Would you welcome him to MLS?
Could MLS be the next move for Cardiff City striker Robert Earnshaw? Well, that depends on who you believe.
Earnshaw's days as a Bluebird seem be over after returning to the Championship side on loan from Maccabi Tel Aviv, but the local papers aren't wasting any time linking him with Vancouver, where former Cardiff City man Kenny Miller plies his trade.
How much weight there is to this one is debatable, though. The only line suggesting Earnshaw has suitors in British Columbia isn't exactly full of specifics: "There is thought to be interest in his services from MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps."
He's got to go somewhere, however, because after returning from a brief stint with former Israeli Champions League side last month, where he dealt with rocket attacks and a way of life he simply wasn't comfortable with, Earnshaw found himself on the wrong side of Cardiff City's manager Malky Mackay's plans.
"I imagine Robert will be looking to play matches, which is not something he is going to get here," Mackay told the Cardiff City News.
Whether that means in Vancouver still remains to be seen. What do you think? Would Earnshaw be a good fit for the Whitecaps?
Thierry Henry simply can't be stopped.
Even though the quality isn't great, this video of Henry in Brazil shows why he is truly one of the best in Major League Soccer.
We're sure Red Bull fans hope Henry brings some of those quick tricks back to New York for the 2013 season.
If you didn't catch the trailer for American Football after it was accidentally posted in November, it's time to fire up that internet connection and block out six-and-a-half minutes.
The trailer is for an unfinished feature documentary on the Seattle Sounders FC, produced by Levy Films. And, well, the footage is incredible, truly capturing the beauty of the sport. It was shot in a way that makes you feel like you're part of the team – you hear personal struggles from some of the Sounders squad and are even witness to a post-game schooling from head coach Sigi Schmid.
It's an intimate look at the Seattle Sounders and will surely leave you wanting more. That is, unless you're a diehard Timbers or 'Caps fan.
Hopefully, Levy Films will finish the full doc soon, but it looks like the 2013 MLS season might kickoff before the film. But it seems it will be well worth the wait.

With rumors flying over who will step in as the next head coach of the Red Bulls, one name seems to be a step closer to taking the reins in New York.
Previous speculation centered around former Aston Villa caretaker manager and Scottish international, Gary McAllister, but those rumblings seems to have stalled in recent days, leaving the door wide open for Portuguese manager Paulo Sousa.
Making things even more interesting, Sousa just stepped down from his post at Hungarian club Videoton FC for "family reasons" – perhaps they prefer to be based in New York City? – which means his schedule is wide open for the 2013 MLS season. And, in the words of Alexi Lalas, Sousa is "a good bet to be the next coach of the New York Red Bulls."
Only time will tell who will take Hans Backe's place at Red Bull Arena, but the clock is definitely ticking as the MLS Player Combine and the SuperDraft are quickly approaching.
Do you think Sousa is the right choice? Can he help the Red Bulls break the Curse of Caricola?

IG Finds GSA Interference in Contract Negotiations
June 5, 2013
General Services Administration managers strong-armed their own contracting officials during negotiations with three large technology contractors, ultimately forcing the agency to pay higher prices while demoralizing acquisition staff, according to a watchdog report.
The GSA Office of Inspector General found in a report released Tuesday that the companies — Oracle, Carahsoft and Deloitte — all complained to GSA management in 2011 about contracting officials raising concerns about their contracts.
But instead of backing their own contracting officers, GSA managers — whom the IG report did not identify — took the side of contractors, resulting in questionable pricing, terms and conditions, according to the report.
Overall, the three companies held contracts worth about $900 million.

The Russians want to open a Naval Base in Cuba? The chess pieces are falling into place. Do you really believe the November elections will be legit? The Tea Party rookies still don't get it, because they refuse to look outside the box.
These Glenn Beck sheep run from my page, because this is only site that really "Questions with Boldness".
Putin and his Muslim buddies in Iran want Obama to be re-elected no matter how much they bitch about him publicly.

This court order by the judge blocks the University of Colorado from releasing the school records of James Holmes (the suspected Colorado shooter) has been something that I have been calling for. This court order seems to only be against the University of Colorado and not against the University of California where Holmes was a student also.
The media and their paid shrinks seem fixated now on the Neuroscience program for some reason. I believe that this is a distraction from looking elsewhere in Holmes's school records. There seems to be claims that a possible incident happened at the Univ. of Colorado that sparked Holmes to drop out of the school. Still, his entire academic history needs to be examined. Especially any essays that were written on Darwinism, Society or Karl Marx, but I have a feeling that will never be released.
I was the only journalist calling for the school records to be released and examined thoroughly as the script readers in the media would just call Holmes "deranged, lost, a loner and crazy". Yesterday a former classmate stated that the media allegations that Holmes was a 'loner' are false, because he was not a loner.
I have a feeling that James Holmes's school records will be hidden in a vault next to Obama's Kenyan birth certificate.

Why do Democrats lie about them being socialists and communists? The propaganda that is being spewed by 'the left' on the Internet is clearly a war against capitalism that is 100% Communist. Their agenda is obvious.
Do these commies take into account that the population of the USA is much higher than it is in Canada? The US population is 10 times higher than it is in Canada. Canada only has 34 million people as compared to the US population of 300 million and growing.
The US Government is already going broke and it can not sustain 300 million people or even half of that number. This is why the Elitist thugs want as much abortion and restrictions of freedom on the people, because they believe that they own you all.
The propaganda to get people off of eating meat to save the environment is really a way of saying "You peasants eat dirt; as we fly in our private jets eating caviar and filet mingon".
Why are the Democrats and their communist plants in the media hiding their agenda if it is that much better than Capitalism? The answer is that "it is a scam", a lie". Socialism enslaves the people better than Capitalism and that is why the Elite support it and Obama.
This is really about power and control over the people.
Steve Cooper
Every idiot in the media that I have seen the past week reporting about the Colorado shooting suspect James Holmes believed his 'crazy act'. Don't try to tell me that the media has to be impartial, because these Obama loving frauds are far from impartial.
This Daily News report reports that one of the workers inside the jail that is holding James Holmes states "Nobody is buying his act" when asked about Holmes being crazy or having amnesia.
I confronted Fox News shrink Keith Ablow on his Facebook page about him claiming that a possible tumor could have caused this violent outburst. That is ridiculous since Holmes allegedly planned this attack for months.
I left a comment on Ablow's page asking "How come nobody in the media is asking to see college essays by Holmes about society, politics, Darwin or Marx?" Ablow has been MIA from that post since…
Steve Cooper
These chemical weapons belonged to SADDAM…
The Democrats voted for a war and then they lied to undermine the troops once the boots were on the ground. Kennedy and Murtha should be burning in hell right now.
The Democrats are the West Wing of Moscow, because they are protecting Russia's involvement with moving Saddam's WMD's to Syria. Bush kept this secret to avoid a larger conflict with KGB Putin and his Democrat affiliates.
I have spoken to many 'anonymous' soldiers that were in Iraq and they know Saddam had the WMD's, but they are not allowed to say it publicly due to the Communist conspiracy to lie about it. This is a free country?
Steve Cooper
The media has been portraying James Holmes as a 'loner' since day one, because they are trying to influence and brainwash people into accepting the lie that Holmes is 'crazy'. Why was the media reporting false information? I never reported that Holmes was a loner, because I didn't have the facts and I didn't believe the initial reports.
Anyone that allegedly plans a 'terror attack' this complex knows exactly what he is doing. I am not buying the crazy act that Holmes displayed inside the courtroom in the other day.

The Garrett Collection 1834 Capped Head Half Eagle1834 $5 Capped Head, Crosslet 4 MS64 NGC. B. I-3, Breen-6500, Bass-3166, Miller-172, R.6. This is only the ninth time we have handled an 1834 Capped Head half eagle in the past dozen years. Prior to the present offering, only three of those were Mint State, and this example is clearly the finest we have ever offered. Considering all varieties, NGC has certified four examples in MS64 grade and two Gem MS65 coins. It is possibly that this coin does not actually appear in that Census, however, as it has been incorrectly identified by NGC as "Crosslet 4, Classic $5."
By 1834, and actually long before, it was realized that gold coinage production could not continue as it had, for the gold content actually exceeded the face value. Congress passed new legislation lowering the weight of all our gold coinage, promoting renewed circulation. The Act of June 28, 1834, which was to take effect on August 1, specified a new weight of 129 grains of standard gold for the half eagle. The same Act specified that half eagles coined previously were to be receivable at the rate of 94.8 cents per pennyweight, or $5.095 each, very nearly the actual gold value at the time. At the time, the Bechtler family, producers of private gold coinage in the Carolinas, adjusted the weight of their own coinage to meet the Federal standard.
Few examples of the 1834 Capped Head half eagle survive today, and seldom are they found any nicer than this. It is a very sharply struck example with fully brilliant, prooflike surfaces and excellent cameo contrast. The surfaces have bright greenish-gold color with only a few tiny blemishes. Searching for pedigrees can sometimes be a difficult task, especially when the coin is nice enough to have few visible pedigree markers. Such is the case here, although we believe that this is the Garrett Collection specimen. There is a faint patch of roughness at the left top of C and the right top of A in AMERICA. These appear to match the plate in the Garrett (Registry values: P6) (PCGS# 8161)

GQ's digital edition designed specially for your device

By Tabatha Leggett 15 January 13
Speakeasy bars are springing up behind practically every unmarked door in town, but what about hidden restaurants? Herewith, the best in-the-know dining destinations.
Originally published in the January 2013 issue of British GQ


text: American performer Joan Rivers, whose show played at the Edinburgh Festival Theatre during Fringe 2001, may be heading for the West End. Rivers has made no secret of her desire to play in London, and has anticipated arriving here within the next year. Whether this would be performing solo, or as part of a larger production is unclear at present. Rivers, the child of Russian immigrants, began her career as an actress before a guest comedian slot on the Johnny Carson Show opened several doors for her. By the 1980s she had created her own TV show, starred on Broadway and launched a publishing career. Never one to avoid controversy, Rivers' penchant for wearing fur garments has seen her become the target of several well-publicised attacks from animal welfare groups.

Qatar Airways Reviews
"Very Poor and Arrogant Cabin Crew in Economy Class"
I used Qatar Airways a year back.The inflight service was bad.But the chief of cabin crew came and apologized for my displeasure and promised to improve.So,after lots of reviews I decided to risk and took a flight to Chicago from Kuwait Via Doha on 20 Jun 2015.
My daughter's warning while booking was right.The moment we boarded 0721 I realized I made a big mistake.We had seat numbers 17 d e and f. I was trying to put my brief case and lap top bag in the over head loft.The guy started shouting you are allowed to put only one piece and others are to be put under the seat.I was trying to tell him that we are three passengers.He was not ready to listen. Finally I managed to comfortably put the two pieces one over the other in the loft.
Half an hour after the flight took off I had a splitting headache and asked for water to take tablet.The guy refused to serve water telling that I'll get in break fast.My wife who is a doctor has to explain him it is a basic need to finally get water. My god, almost all the cabin crew of QA treat the passengers as criminals and untouchables.
Unfortunately,my return from Washington DC on 27July in QA and exploring other options.I must add the ground staff of QA are excellent. Frankly I understand that the cabin crew get hassled when they see full flight. I understand their job tension. But I have never experienced such a rude behavior from any other airlines. After all the airlines make profits due to satisfied passengers reusing their services. But unfortunately QA thinks that their job is to satisfy only business class. They don't realize that they gat more revenue from economy class. If I have done something wrong I'm ready to apologize. But I'm sure I'll never use Qatar Airways even if it is utter emergency.
"The check in process at IAH was awful"
I checked in online thinking it would help me expedite the checkin process at the airport. Boy was I wrong! I waited 45 minutes at the web check in line and saw all the other economy passagers at the regular check in that arrived later than me left. I suggested to one the Qatar personnel to have more counters to help with web check in, he rudely dismissed my suggestion and said "it is not going to happen". Then another passager out of nowhere tried to cut in front of me and shockinly no one from Qatar tried to intervene. It turned into an argument. A "floor supervisor" named Donna finally came but she was very rude to my family and did not help us at all. She even threatened not to let me board the plane if we did not "comply". I am extremely frustrated with Qatar but not too surprised since I have read terrible reviews about their service. I will definitely tell all my friends and family about this awful experience and will never fly with Qatar again.
"35 Hour Delay"
I'm very frustrated at Qatar Airways, I was suppose to travel on the 4th of January from Dubai to Doha, then Doha to Montreal, but our flight was suspended and they delayed it for six hours, I was suppose to take off from Dubai at 7:30 AM, but they did not let us take off from 1 or 2 PM. They couldn't answer our questions, at the Dubai airport, they had no knowledge other than only saying "The airplane is still at Doha" but that wasn't an answer we were looking for, and no one at the Gate or information desk knew anything about it, but I don't see how there was a problem to travel because of weather issues, as every other airline was flying in and out of Dubai with the same exact weather. Once they finally told us our gate, after changing it four times, we all went to the gate and it was pretty hectic. Once I got to Doha, I had to take another flight to Montreal, but since the delay happened I missed my connection flight and so then I went to the transfer desk, the main Qatar Airlines office, they took our passports and connected flight tickets, and they said "In 25 Minutes we will call you" I waited, then went to the desk again and asked and they had no answer for me, and that was for most of the passengers on the same flight, the supervisor was hiding in the office and it seemed like he was trying to avoid all questions. They didn't give us vouchers so we can go eat or anything, they gave us a box of chocolate and juice, which caused me to get more angry because I was waiting hours and they couldn't even give us a proper meal. Some of the Qatar officers were saying they're going to send us back to Dubai and we'll find more solutions, which made me very angry because it was getting out of hand. It was either they'll send us back to Dubai or we keep waiting, time was running out of time, and groups of people would yell at Qatar and they would no answer or anything, and even that in Dubai they didn't send any Qatar officer to answer questions or anything. Qatar told us that we'll spend the night in a hotel, even then we had to wait two hours just to get a ride to the hotel, the hotel was a disaster, poor service, poor food, it was horrible. We then took a flight to Chicago, and there an two hour delay before the flight took off, which was quite crazy because we had enough of delays, once we got to Chicago, our bags took two hours to get there. Then we board Air Canada and once we landed in Montreal, Qatar didn't even put my bag onto the airlines, and I still don't have my bags, this is the last time I use Qatar, the airlines can't make customers happy, and I don't know how they have the title of a five star airline, because they treated us badly and couldn't find solutions.
"Do Not Fly Qatar Airlines If You Value Your Time"
atar Airlines is lousy. IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME, DO NOT FLY THEM. I am a United Million Mile Frequent Flyer and well versed in good airlines. KLM, United, Air France for the most part, Emirates BUT stay away from these clowns. In September, flew from Bahrain to Paris to meet my Wife. Was told I would be issued my Doha - Paris boarding pass in Doha. No problem. Get to Doha and guess what? Flight is over sold and no seats which explains why I was not given a boarding pass. QATAR AIRLINES LIED TO ME IN BAHRAIN. I was then stuck in the Doha airport at midnight after working all day. Did get to Paris, but only after an act of congress. Qatar gave me a voucher for $150 for my troubles, but you have to go to some offsite ticket office to get your money. They take your money at the airport but can't refund it at the airport. Then on Friday October 17th flew from Bahrain to Kuala Lumpur. Flight was late getting in and I missed my connecting flight. Qatar did put me up in a hotel for the night BUT I was late by one day getting to my consulting assignment. To the idiots at Qatar, time is money and you waste a lot of my time. Today, when I went to check in, Qatar had cancelled my return flight back to Bahrain. Got this fixed and made the flight ONLY TO ARRIVE LATE in Doha and miss my connecting flight to Bahrain. Again to the idiots in Qatar airlines Management, 50 minutes to connect from one international flight to another is not enough time given you land in a billion dollar plus airport but have to ride a bus to the terminal, then clear screening again even though you are in transit. The airport is beautiful in many ways but lacking when it comes to a true travel hub. Qatar airlines must have something to do with this. To add injury to insult, I am now missing a meeting with Aramco that was set for later this evening because of the incompetence (and that is what it is) of Qatar airlines. To compensate me for my lost 3 hours, Qatar airlines gave me a voucher to get a meal. Problem is the voucher was only for 15 Qatari Riyal. A bottle of water cost 12 QR. A hamburger at Burger King cost over 30QR. Qatar airlines is out of touch and a joke. DO NOT FLY THEM.
Update: Previously I had a problem with my flight
changes resulting in connection problems with
long waiting times which I believed
could not be resolved.
As I am old and diabetic and not in good health
I was very upset about this.
But this was brought to the attention of
the excellent senior management.
Of the Airline who offered me a number
of options to resolve my situation
and they fixed my problems.
So I want to bring this to your attention.
And would recommend this Airline after
my experience problems can be resolved.
"Changed my ticket"
Made a Big mistake of paying for my ticket months in advance of the flight I am an old and trusting person I might even add fool to this anyway
Original ticket Outbound:
Manchester to Phnom Penh via Doa with a short transfer time between planes just over one hour for the next flight to Phnom Pen with a short technical stop in Ho Ch Min City on the way
I later found out this short stop is actualy one and a half hours .
Return Phnom Penh to Manchester via Doa second flight leg transfer time just over two hours.
My ticket now is outbound:
Manchester to Phnom Penh via Doa transfer time between planes twenty five hours
they cancelled my connection and now it is the following day.
Return Phnom Penh to Manchester via Doa second flight leg transfer time over eight hours.
I complained to the Airline they do not want to know told me to contact
the agency I booked through they do not want to know also
told me Airline will mail me? still waiting
Booked through travel trolley Southall travel.
Once they have got your money they don't care about you
from my experiencer I would avoid.
"poor customer care"
The airline lost my baggage in Doha transferring between their own planes. When we asked about it in Colombo airport their staff where not sympathetic, I received my bags 24 hours later with no apology from them. When I arrived back in Manchester on 23rd July 2014 I was given the customer care email. I emailed them and have not heard anything back from them.
"All aboard Qatar Airways SPEW-Liner"
I went to bali from London with Qatar and what a disgrace. No leg room at all for starters, shockingly cramped seats. asked for a bottle of water and told i get a maximum of two cups per flight and thats half filled tiny plastic cups. Dirty toilets that are never cleaned during flight. Cold drinks and food that has given me horrendous food poisoning. This truly was a trip from hell. AVOID THIS AIRLINE AT ALL COSTS
A budget airline charging REAL airline prices
"Muslem women should not drink alcohol"
My wife and I where traveling to Shiraz Iran.on the way she had some alcoholic drink
Upon our arrival to doha they tricked us to separate and I was piton the plane to Shiraz whilst they
Took her to prison and never let her call solicitor / myself of the embassy.
They told her that a Muslim women should not drink alcohol and stamp her passport with arabic word that reads
" disobey god"
They then dumped her after 3 days in the transit section of doha airport with no money or ticket.
They also canceled her ongoing ticket to Shiraz and banned her from traveling with qatar air.
I was not told of the terrible situation they had put us and later they refuse to release her luggages.
The events are just hard to believe but it looks alike qatar air has done the same to helpless passengers
Specially from Iran.
If you look on Internet you will see same customer abuse that took place in doha airport.
I sent 39 emails to qatar airways but they have not yet responded to all points on concern.
What the have done is criminal / inhuman /unacceptable for a 5 star airliner .
"Worst flight ever"
Ive tried to fly with emirates before and there's not even 1% comparison between these two flights emirates is the best!!! Qatar is the worst ever flight yes it keep passengers fed but they are the worst rude mean staff, they r not organised toilets dirty and they suck money in every chance they can i really regret for travelling with them lthough many told me not to but anyway never everr again
