That is exactly what Toronto Football Club did in the off season. Toronto FC management spent $100 million US dollars by signing US international midfielder Micheal Bradley from the Italian League's AS Roma, forward Jermaine Defoe from the Premier Leagues Tottenham Hotspur, Brazilian GoalKeeper Julio Cesar, forward Gilberto and Canadian National Team Captain Dwayne De Rosario.
What did they get for their money? A season opening 2-1 road victory against the Seattle Sounders FC. The win over the Seattle Sounders FC snapped a five game losing streak for Toronto FC. Toronto FC finished the 2013 season ninth in Major League Soccers Eastern Conference with just 29 points. Third lowest in the league.
To say Toronto FC needed a good start to the season is a Major League understatement. To start the season on the road against Seattle Sounders FC is about the biggest ask one can get in Major League Soccer.
"The most important thing is to win games, to win and score two goals in your debut is a dream, " Jermaine Defoe said of his brace against Seattle Sounders FC." It is always going to be difficulty when you come to places like this, the atmosphere is electric and they have good players."
Defoe opened his Major League Soccer account 17 minutes into the game when he received a perfect through pass from team mate Jonathan Osorio and right footed the ball to the back of Seattle Sounders FC net. His second goal came seven minutes later off a back pass gift from Seattle Sounders FC defender Djimi Traore.
US National Team Captain Clint Dempsey scored his first goal of the season for Seattle Sounders FC in the 68 minute to give the Seattle Sounders FC faithful hope.When the dust settled the hope was in vain and Seattle Sounders FC lost there first match of 2014.
Game Notes:
Attendance was 38,441. Sounders next game will be a road game March 22nd vs the Montreal Impact. Toronto FC's game will be there home opener March 22nd against DC United.
Seattle Sounders FC - Stefan Frei, DeAndre Yedlin, Chad Marshall, Djimi Traore, Dylan Remcik, Lamar Neagle (Chad Barrett 79'), Osvaldo Alonso, Brad Evans (Gonzalo Pineda 29'), Marco Pappa (Kenny Cooper 66'), Clint Dempsey, Obafemi Martins.

It starts as a small freckle. Hmm, you say as you gaze into the mirror. Then you notice another and another! And then one more! And they keep getting bigger! Suddenly you feel as though you are looking at an Appaloosa! (Side Note: Nothing, not Clinique, L'Oreal, Avon, Oil of Olay, Revlon or even Mary Kay will help. Not unless you can purchase these items in a 55 gallon drum in which to soak your entire body.)
Again, it does not stop here. We go forth from sun-kissed beauties and morph into something with skin resembling fine Corinthian Leather. Ahh! To have such coverage of the upholstery in my car would look amazing and last forever!
We now slip down to the neck. Seriously?! This just keeps getting better and better. Your once swanlike neck has been replaced by a wattle. Better known as turkey neck!
And why in the hell is my chin now connected to my collarbones? Where there once was a defined jawline, is now jowls that melt into my collarbones making me appear to be somehow related to Jabba the Hut!
If by now you have not committed suicide, I shall continue.
You're still reading this, aren't you? O.K., O.K., moving along.
Ah! We have come to the junction of the chest and arms. Which to cover first? Hmmm.
Let's go with the arms! Those once, proudly displayed, finely muscled appendages that we loved to show off wearing sleeveless blouses, tank tops and little strapless dresses, have morphed into flabby, sagging, pendulous underarm "kite-like" wings, making us look, for all intent purposes, like flying squirrels!
Not a pretty sight when waving goodbye, and sadly, they keep moving long after you've stopped waving!
O.K., so now we switch to long-sleeved blouses in an effort to cover these monstrosities from public view.
Traveling further down the arm we pass by the abysmal crags called elbows. There is not enough lotion in the world to soften them, so we'll just move along.
Ah! The Hands! Those once-so-diminutive hands. Jeezus! More age spots!
And why in the hell are all of those veins sticking out of the backs of my hands? Looks like a bad map of some small, underdeveloped country! And why are all of my fingers starting to turn and bend into positions once thought impossible to achieve??
(Kind of reminds me of those coin operated machines just inside almost every store in America, "The Claw!")
And, just try putting nail polish on those babies! Not an easy task when they're all pointing in different directions! We've spent enough time here, so let's move back up the arms, across the bat wings and over to the chest.
Frack! What in the heck happened to my boobs? Those once proud and perky orbs are now drooping and pendulous. They look like two cantaloupes dropped into a pair of pantyhose! (Note: Substitute any other fruit to conform to your particular size.)
Gravity is not your friend, my ladies!
Remember when you could go braless? Well, not anymore! Now we have been blessed with another attribute — sock boobs.
Yep! Ya just roll 'em up like a pair of socks and stuff um in your bra. And, please! For the love of God! Get a bra that fits! Nobody wants to see 12 inches of cleavage!
Oh! And there is another new development. Your boobs, which now appear to look like two-day-old water balloons, no longer point toward the ceiling when you lay down. They slip quickly to your underarms resembling water wings.
One minute you have soft firm skin, and the next, crepe! Oh, come on! You know what I'm talking about. You wake up and look at yourself, and it looks as though you're entire body is wrapped in crepe paper! Wet crepe paper!
Is there no relief to this torture? Well, kinda. Your now pendulous boobs are not all that bad! When you take your bra off at night, you can dust off the tops of your shoes without bending over!
Cold? Throw them over your shoulders and wrap them around your neck. Tah-dah! Instant scarf!
Wanna take a bath? Use one to plug the drain and soap up the other to scrub your back!
May as well have fun with 'em cause they ain't goin' away. My God! My waist has gotten huge!
Oh, wait. My boobs blended into my waist. Here, let me get them out of the way.
Oh! There's my waist or what's left of it.


text: The name is over-the-top in an "I am woman hear me roar" way, but this kit is pretty much true to its billing. It holds four eye shadows in a range of brown shades, a shimmery plum lipstick and matching liner—plus the proceeds from sales go to breast cancer research. Amazing.

The MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour wrapped up its fifth and final stop of the 2010 season over the weekend in downtown Knoxville, where the world's top professional riders hit the waters of Volunteer Landing for their last shot at the Pro Tour title.
Just as the current points leader, Phillip Soven, predicted, the title came down to the wire in Knoxville. Six riders squared off in the Pro Men's division final today, with top seed Phillip Soven and defending titlist Harley Clifford in the hunt for the overall win.
Soven and Clifford entered the Knoxville Tour stop as the frontrunners for the Pro Tour title, separated by 15 points in the standings. Both riders finished off the season with impressive runs, but Clifford took top honors in Knoxville, after landing a Heelside Frontside 900 off the double up. Soven and Olivier Derome rounded out the contest podium, respectively.
Clifford's first-place finish narrowed points gap in the overall standings, but Phillip Soven still managed to maintain a five-point lead, giving the Florida native his third Pro Tour title in four years.
Soven, Clifford and Rusty Malinoski finished as the top three riders in the Pro Men's division on the 2010 MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour.
The Pro Women's division saw a huge upset today during its final round of action. Top seed Nicola Butler had three uncharacteristic falls in her run, opening the door for the five other female finalists to win in Knoxville.
Aussie Amber Wing took full advantage of her opportunity on the water today, taking first place in the contest – her first win of the 2010 season.
"I didn't get to do everything I wanted to in my run, but overall I thought I rode pretty well," said Wing. "This is my first win on Tour this year, so tonight I need to go out and celebrate."
Emily Copeland Durham and Raimi Merritt rounded out the contest podium, respectively.
Wing's win in Knoxville places her second overall in the Queen of Wake standings – an all female pro wakeboarding series. Despite a poor showing in Knoxville, Nicola Butler still leads the series, with Raimi Merritt taking third overall. The Queen of Wake will wrap up its 2010 season in Orlando, Fla. next week.
Despite a hairline fracture in his right forearm, 18-year-old Steel Lafferty rallied to a first-place finish in the Jr. Pro Men's division finals – his first ever on Tour. Aussie Ryleigh Pfitzner and Nick Galotifore rounded out the top three, respectively.
"My arm was killing me, but I overall I was really happy with the way I rode today," said Lafferty. "I hurt arm riding in Orlando right before I came out to Knoxville, so I was a little to frustrated heading into the contest, but it all worked out."
Lafferty's win today places him third overall in the Jr. Pro Tour standings. Florida native Daniel Powers took second place overall, with Nick Galotifore claiming his first Jr. Pro Tour title.
"It's unbelievable," Galotifore commented on winning the title. "Not everyone gets to win it, so I'm really stoked about it. Next year I turn pro, so it's awesome enter my rookie season with a Jr. Pro Tour title under my belt."
All the winners in Knoxville, as well as the overall titlists received to trophies at the Tour's award ceremony and after-party, hosted by Indmar Marine Engines and the MasterCraft Boat Company at the Bijou Theater.
To catch all the high-flying, rail-sliding, water-sports action of the Knoxville Pro Tour stop on television, tune in to FUEL TV on Oct. 11 at 8 p.m. ET.

Child Advocates at the Human Rights Council
At the end of March, Edmund Rice International, one of the partner organisations of the FI Geneva office, hosted a group of three children from the Edmund Rice Network in India. Vijay Kumar (17), Rikida Shadap (16), and Aditya Garg (15) came to lobby UN member states on behalf of eighteen children who wrote a submission for the UPR of India which will take place this month. The children are members of the Nine is Mine campaign, a children's advocacy initiative which calls for the allocation of 9% of India's GDP to children's health and education. Their message was warmly received by the permanent missions and NGOs who met them. Rarely do children come to the UN to participate in the processes that shape their futures. Vijay, Aditya and Rikida's contribution to the meetings and discussions in which they took part was an important reminder to both UN and civil society actors that children have a voice and it must be listened to. Before he was chosen to be part of the delegation, Vijay "couldn't imagine that a boy from Bapudham would make it to Geneva and engage with the powers that be at the Mecca of Human Rights." Read his reflections on the experience here.

Feb. 10, 2010
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Alabama senior All-American Charlotte Morgan was selected as the top overall pick in the National Pro Fastpitch College Senior Draft by the USSSA Pride Wednesday night from the Heritage Key Resort. Morgan became the eighth player in Alabama history to be drafted in the professional league.
"It is an honor to be able to have the opportunity to further my career," Morgan said. "To be able to play professionally has always been a goal of mine. I wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for the coaching staff and my teammates at Alabama."
Morgan is coming off a junior campaign in which she was named a NFCA First-Team All-American for the second consecutive season. The Moreno Valley, Calif., native became the first member of the Crimson Tide to be named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year.
"What a great honor for both Charlotte and Alabama softball," Alabama head coach Patrick Murphy said. "Charlotte will bring a lot to the NPF and in particular the Orlando franchise. She's a very self-driven athlete who will thrive in the professional game."
Morgan led Alabama in all three major hitting categories last season. She paced the Tide with a .406 batting average, 11 home runs and 59 RBI. She also led the team with a .673 slugging percentage and a .505 on base percentage.
Alabama has had a player drafted in three straight seasons. Ashley Holcombe was the 21st pick overall, selected by the Rockford Thunder last season. Jordan Praytor was drafted by the New England Riptide with the 22nd pick in 2008.

Second Annual Allstate Sugar Bowl Collegiate Bowling Invitational
Oct. 18, 2013
Photo Gallery/ Day One Results
KENNER, La. - It was a day that Tulane head bowling coach Hayley Veitch hoped would have seen better results, but the Green Wave did record a pair of wins on the first day of the Allstate Sugar Bowl Collegiate Bowling Invitational on Friday at the AMF All Star Lanes.
Tulane (2-3) defeated Jackson State and 19th-ranked Prairie View A&M in Baker matches on Friday. The Green Wave got past JSU, 704-668, in the second game and defeated PVAMU, 764-646, in the fifth and final game of the afternoon.
"We definitely ended on a high note," Veitch said. "I wouldn't say it is what I expected today. We left a lot of pins out there and missed a lot spares. We had a really bad performance against Sam Houston, but we brought it back. I can't really complain about being 2-3, but we know there are more pins out there."
Tulane fell to Alabama A&M, 803-693, in the first game, lost to No. 6 Sam Houston State, 812-618, in the third and was edged, 675-674, by Texas Southern in the fourth game.
Friday's Baker games were decided by total pin fall.
All eight Green Wave bowlers rolled on the opening day of the 2013-14 season, including the three freshmen Kierstyn Rush, Angela Falgoust and Jessica Quebedeaux all rolling collegiately for the first time.
Ninth-ranked Stephen F. Austin, Texas Southern and SHSU all posted 4-1 marks on Friday. SFA dropped 3941 total pins on the afternoon to sit on top of the team standings that will determine Sunday's bracket seeding.
SFA posted the day's top game as well, rolling an 877 in the fourth game against Alabama State.
The 11 teams will return to the lanes on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. CT for five team games.
"Tomorrow is another day and it will be an uphill challenge for us," Veitch said. "I know there are more pins out there and we are certainly going to shoot for it."
In the five-person team game, starting members of the competing teams will successively and, in regular order, bowl one frame on one lane. Once completed, the team members shall move to the alternate lane of the competition pair. This pattern of play continues until all 10 frames of a game are complete. The same substitution rules as Baker will apply.
The tournament concludes Sunday with a tournament at 8:30 a.m. CT. The tournament, consisting of Best 4-of-7 Baker matches, will determine the champion. The 11 teams will be seeded based on the performance on Friday and Saturday.

We've all got a horror story about the time our mom gave us a box filled with tampons and a training bra in front of our entire family that one Christmas, or the time our new boyfriend gave us a membership to an S&M club, or, worse still, diet pills. In honor of the worst gifts we, the Outblush staff, have ever received, we present a special holiday edition of Doubtblush: Wreck the Halls, where we'll tell you the stories of the most awful gifts we've gotten, and find a modern counterpart to it.... You know, just in case you've got a White Elephant party coming up.
Robin writes: Everything was going fine when I opened the gift box to find a soft chocolate brown velour hoodie, but it turned from snuggly to ugly pretty quickly when I realized my dear mom (who knows full well the curvy body I have) had purchased not only a hoodie, but also an eeny weeny velour bandeau top and cropped velour pantaloons*. Thankfully, there was no stifling my own guffaws and attempting to act like I might possibly like the outfit. After putting the outfit on for a good laugh and a picture that will never see the light of day, we all moved on. Mom admitted the holidays had made her crazy, and with that I caution you - if you think something like this Arrogant Cat Crystal Velour Pant ($25 on sale) and matching crapped jacket is a good idea, it's time to stop shopping for a few and have a glass of eggnog.
*That's right - pantaloons. Gathered at the bottom with elastic for a nice pouf just below the knee. WTF?

Photographic journey of a two months self-drive safari in Botswana, Namibia & South Africa.
The empirical eye of the Swiss photographer Cedric Favero has toured several countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia to capture everyday life and the wild, that of humans and animals, faces and landscapes. His lens records with careful sensitivity issues that obsess him: travel, animals, street and human life routines, fashion and portraits, so it is not free that you find in one of his pictures a beautiful model looking like a fearsome lion, while on an another you find an elephant as the most careful of mothers. His portfolio is diverse, as his travels: Buddhist temples in Cambodia, parades of zebras in Kenya, a sleepy cat in Thailand, a rice plantation in Laos, King penguins of Antarctica and the stillness of buildings in colonial Quito stuck in time. All this fits in Cedric's camera. He currently lives in Pretoria from where he often travels to various countries of Africa whose life, architecture, people and contrasts he records on his camera.

A statement released on Feb. 1, 2014 by Pray at the Pump (PAPM) founder, Rocky Twyman, indicates the group is organizing a "unique Super Bowl party" in an effort to raise funds for the family of missing Michigan doctor, Teleka Patrick.
According to Twyman, a plea will be made during the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime for "donations to help defray the cost of the Patrick family's private investigator and to help increase the reward money."
He notes that he believes the reward should be increased to $100,000 because it would likely encourage "those with information to talk to authorities."
PAPM's Super Bowl event will take place in Urbana, Md., however, Twyman hopes that all those around the country having parties and holding gatherings for the sporting event will stop during the football game's halftime and donate to the Teleka Patrick Fund.
View slideshow: Photos of Missing Michigan Doctor, Teleka Patrick
Teleka, 30, failed to show up for work on Dec. 6, 2013.
The night prior, police found her car abandoned in an Indiana ditch alongside an interstate about 100 miles away from Kalamazoo where she worked with her wallet still inside the vehicle.
Teleka's cell phone was left at her place of employment, Borgess Hospital.
According to CNN, Dec. 5 surveillance video from a local Radisson hotel shows Teleka at the front desk just after 7:30 p.m. She is dressed in all black and spends about 10 minutes speaking with the reception desk. Teleka then leaves after failing to book a room.
She can be seen exiting out the hotel's front doors at about 7:48 p.m. and getting on a shuttle bus, which took her to her car, CNN reports.
On Jan. 23, 2014, Indiana authorities searched frozen Lake Charles in the hopes of finding clues to Teleka's vanishing, but no evidence was discovered.
Police urge anyone with information about Teleka's whereabouts call the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office at 269-383-8748, or contact Silent Observer at 269-343-2100 or www.kalamazoosilentobserver.com.
WWMT reports the Patrick family has increased the reward to $20,000 for information that leads investigators to Teleka.

The Art Maverick, 4-9: French Art Beat (illustrated)
New director at the Louvre; battle over a Signac; bring me the head of (Courbet's) 'Creation of the World' (just don't try showing her naked body on Facebook); Delacroix defaced; where's Corot?; where to buy Delacroix, Corot, Laurencin, Sisley, Millet & more for peanuts

French newspapers were aflutter last week with the story of Jerome Cahuzac, a former Socialist budget minister who confessed to having squirreled away 600,000 Euros in a Swiss bank account to avoid paying taxes on the income after previously having denied doing so and denounced others who did. The headline-grabbing 'cultural' news was the death of a doctor participating in "Koh-Lanta," the French answer to "Survivor." One had to scroll to the bottom of the websites of Le Monde and Liberation, two of the major Paris dailies, to discover political and artistic news that France has reason to be proud of: That a new president has been named for the Louvre -- chosen by President Francois Hollande, who personally informed the lucky man, chief of the Louvre's department of Greco-Roman antiquities Jean-Luc Martinez, 48, a sign of the importance France places on culture. That Hollande's selection over-rid the preference of his culture minister, Aurelie Filippetti -- who was determined to nominate a woman for the position -- signaled that the French president, who spoke little about the arts in his 2012 electoral campaign, is finally taking cultural decisions seriously. Still, if you'd rather not trust your art conservation to politicians -- and if you want a legal place to bank your money -- we're including in this update on French art news a special preview of some of the bargains available at upcoming Christie's sales from the likes of Corot, Delacroix, Utrillo, Sisley, Rodin, Laurencin, Millet, Fragonard, and others, at pre-sale estimates of as little as $8,000.
Filippetti, who was awarded the Culture portfolio after serving as head cheerleader for Hollande during his campaign, has so far seemed more interested in playing politics than in setting a clear cultural agenda: On taking office she immediately cancelled the previous administration's plans for national museums of French history and of photography, citing budget constrictions. (Never mind that as auction prices for photography soar, France is in danger of losing much of its legacy there as it lost so many Impressionist masterworks 100 years ago to more savvy American buyers.) And she seemed more interested in scoring political points by condemning the cancellation of the marquee exhibition celebrating the centennial of the birth of Albert Camus in which annulation the right-wing mayor of Aix-en-Provence played a role than in actually picking up the mantle herself and giving France's most heroic philosopher / resistant / journalist / novelist the commemoration he deserves. (The centennial of another giant of letters and everyman's rebel, Jacques Prevert -- in France, taxi-cab drivers are as likely to break out in ditties by the lyricist of "Autumn Leaves" as savants -- also risks passing un-noted by French cultural officialdom.) For the Louvre post, Filippetti's preference was Sylvie Ramond, chief of the Beaux Arts Museum of Lyon -- which is more inclined towards modern and contemporary art.
Le fait accompli, Filippetti maintained a stiff upper lip last Wednesday and, speaking to the Agence France Presse, hailed Martinez as "someone who comes from a very modest milieu," referring to his origins in the Paris suburban department of Seine-Saint-Denis, and who wants to "give to all the children of France, all the citizens of France, but also all the citizens of Europe and all the tourists access to the most beautiful oeuvres which are exposed and conserved at the Louvre," and whose mandate would be "the democratization of the collection of the Louvre," whatever that means. (When Socialist officials start talking about 'democratizing' art, watch out.) Martinez, who speaks fluent Latin, Greek (ancient and modern), German, English, Spanish, Italian, and even a little Japanese, apparently won over the president, Liberation reports, by his plans to restore to the Louvre a mission that is social and societal, including being less snobbish in cooperating with relatively resource-strapped regional museums who have previously suffered from the "egoism" of the Louvre, as he put it, adding that he also wanted to re-consider the politics of numbers. "To have five, then seven, then 10 million annual visitors" -- as the museum did in 2011, an increase of one million from the previous year -- "is all very well, but it's time to pose the question: to what end?" Martinez, Liberation reported, would like to re-double attention to the welcome visitors receive, and to getting them to return to see the permanent collection. (Henri Loyrette, who he's replacing after 12 years, had shown an annoying tendency for introducing contemporary art into the museum's august environs; do William Forsythe and Toni Morrison really belong in the corridors of the Louvre? Some were worried that a more contemporary-inclined successor might soon have the Mona Lisa smiling at Damien Hirst's tulips.)
If M. Martinez wants to mis en valoir the Louvre's permanent collection, he might start by making it easier to find Camille Corot. Chronologically straddling two eras as he does, Corot has been schizophrenically divided between the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay, and in a way that doesn't even make sense chronologically: "Woman in Blue," the chef d'oeuvre of his late career, painted in 1874 in his Paris studio on what is now the rue de Paradis, is tucked away in a hard to find room at the Louvre, while pastoral canvasses from the 1830s and '40s are downstairs at the Orsay, which otherwise focuses on later art than that in the Louvre. Perhaps Martinez's Louvre could acquire the (painted) head of the headless naked woman who modeled Gustave Courbet's 1866 "L'origin du monde" -- said head discovered in 2010 (as revealed recently by Paris Match) by a collector who bought it from a Paris antiquarian for 1,400 Euros, and experts having determined the painter lopped it off from the rest of the portrait to create his masterpiece -- and trade it to the Orsay, owner of the vagina-centric rest of her, for its Corots so that both institutions could offer complete versions of the oeuvres of these two fonts of pre-Impressionism. (Just don't expect to find the Origin du Monde on Facebook in her full glory; the American web network recently censored the Facebook page of another French artistic institution, the Musee Jeu de Paume, and threatened to remove it for good after deciding that a photo by a renowned artist which included nudity threatened "community standards," prompting the museum's director to accuse the American web site of "obscure fundamentalism." Apparently Facebook can bombard me with images of buxom women seeking 'relationships' with men over 40 without offending community standards, but G-d forbid it should expose me to great art. (In fact, whenever I try to include a thumbnail in a link to our magazine on my Facebook page, Facebook routinely censors the item, no doubt because of the nude Matisses on our Home page. To see how the image Facebook doesn't want you to see, click here.)
.... Of course if you can't find Corot at the Louvre or the Orsay, you can always go out and buy some Corot of your own. This is precisely what the Fondation Custodia, a Netherlands institution based in Paris (not far from the Orsay) whose collection is viewable by appointment only, recently did, securing the master's 1851 "View of Rochefort-sur-Mer, Charente" (which anticipates Jacques Demi's Catherine Deneuve - Grover Dale vehicle "Les Demoiselles de Roquefort" by about 100 years) at an undisclosed price for its Collection Frits Lugt, which has quietly been building the most unexpected collection of 19th century art in Paris (by which I mean it will cause you to revise your own impression of some of the Impressionist contemporaries traditionally derided as 'academic,' such as William-Adolphe Bouguereau). "The Corot was painted in the summer of 1851," notes the fondation's announcement, "when the artist spent three weeks in La Rochelle and visited Rochefort-sur-Mer in the Charente.... Corot worked on capturing the effect of the bright sunlight on the ramparts and the houses. He simplified roofs and walls such that the painting makes an extremely modern impression. He must have sat under a parasol, eyes narrowed against a sun that would force us to put on sunglasses, looking out on the world and challenging himself to capture on paper what he saw before him."
Indeed, while many of Corot's paintings show him finding solutions for problems of light and its reflection he would later impute to the Impressionists, some of them directly (Corot was Pissarro's first teacher in Paris in his studio on what's now the rue de Paradis in the 10th arrondissement, and also instructed Morisot), he was apparently no stranger to night. "Paysage au clair de lune," a 1874 oil painting measuring 35 1/4 x 46 inches and one of several Corot tableaux on offer at Christie's New York's April 29 sale of 19th Century European Art, shows him neatly solving the problem of capturing the reflection of moonlight on the water, which he does in a subtle sliver, along the way capturing the more nuanced nocturnal gradations of sky light. If the pre-sale estimate of $300,000 - $500,000 is too rich for your decorating budget (personally I'm hoping that Martinez will ask Filippetti to pre-empt it for the State, to keep company with the Woman in Blue), the more compact (10 1/4 x 7 in.) "Paysage aux bouleaux argentes" (top of the page) painted circa 1860-65, is estimated more modestly at $50,000 - $70,000.
And if that's STILL too much for your budget, if you can swing the price of a Metro ticket, hop on the line 9, debark at the last stop, the Pont des Sevres, and hike up to the large pond in the Ville d'Avray. En route you'll pass a church in which Corot, a week-end resident of the village, painted the ceiling frescoes. At the large pond -- stocked with fish -- after saluting a statue of the artist erected by his local coterie, circle the pond until you come to a bench which backs on the reedy woods and you'll suddenly feel like you're IN a Corot painting, the artist having executed many studies of that particular corner.
"In museums, city halls, and national monuments you can find treasures," says Marie Delion, lawyer for the Paris suburb of Montreuil, located in the same department where Martinez the new director of the Louvre is from. She was commenting not on the Corots on the ceiling of the church in the Ville d'Avray but defending Montreuil's right to hang on to Paul Signac's "Au temps d'harmonie," a massive utopian canvas painted between 1893 and 1895 and given to the then-Communist town to display in its city hall in 1938, in the waning days of the utopian Popular Front, by the neo-Impressionist's widow Berthe Robes. Only their great-granddaughter, Charlotte Liebert Hellman -- after reading about minor damages to the painting which the city spent 15,000 Euros to repair -- recently contacted officials in Montreuil, now presided over by Green politician Dominique Voynet after 70 years with a Communist government, and requested that it be transferred to the Orsay, which she says is better equipped to conserve the masterpiece and where more people could see it. (The museum had 3.1 million visitors in 2012, no doubt more than might view the canvas on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the city hall where it's currently displayed.) To support her claim -- scheduled to be heard in court again April 9 -- Hellman is insisting that there is no paperwork confirming her great-maman actually gave the painting to Montrueil, and that she rather temporarily parked it there after moving to an apartment that was too small for the work. Additionally, her lawyer has furnished a declaration of succession dated 1936 in which the artist leaves all his possessions to his daughter Ginette, to argue that even if his wife did give it to Montreuil it wasn't hers to give.
The painting was initially titled "Au temps de l'anarchie," but was quickly de-baptized for the 1895 Salon after the assassination of French president Sadi Carnot, as Le Monde reports. Noting that Signac originally wanted to give the painting to a maison du peuple in Brussels, the paper cites Frederick Genevee, archivist of the French Communist party and director of the living museum of Montreuil, as asking "why must art be reserved for the (Paris city) center, and the (tony) 6th and 7th arrondissements of Paris?"
On the other hand, Francois Duret-Robert, an expert on legal rights and the art market, told Le Monde that in general the artist and his beneficiaries maintain a certain moral right to ensure that the works are protected from things like little wet pieces of paper, before noting as an aside that minute re-touches by conservateurs are not out of place for a work by Signac, because of the similarity to pointillism, in which the eye re-composes the little dots from a distance.
Speaking of art conservateurs and restorers, and of the regions which Martinez wants to reach out to, another master-work by a major pre-Impressionist was recently in the news in France, when a 28-year-old woman visiting the new Louvre museum in Lens and marked up its signature loan from the mother museum, Delacroix's "La Liberte guidant le peuple." A team from Paris had no problem repairing the damage. "The graffiti was traced by a classic Bic," declared Vincent Pomarede, head of the team from the Louvre's painting department, "of which we were able to rapidly figure out the composition." "We were able to conduct tests on a separate palette to make sure we could find the right solvent," he said in Le Monde. "The protective varnish was not affected. Happily, the author of the deed did not press down, and therefore didn't leave an impression on the varnish" or the base of the picture.
With even master works by Delacroix not safe in museums, you might want to consider constructing one of your own. This is a particularly propitious time to do so, with several minor masterpieces available at Christie's Paris this week, starting with Delacroix's
"Jeune femme nue debout," a plume and brown ink drawing on filigrane 'J. Berger,' on auction at Christie's Paris's "Ancient and 20th Century Drawings" sale April 10, with a pre-sale estimate of just 6,000 - 8,000 Euros (about $7,679 - $10,238). The woman in the drawing is Mademoiselle Rose, a celebrated model who also posed for Bonington, and who posed for. Delacroix numerous times starting in the 1820s. Herewith a sampling of some of the other work on sale for less than $100,000, by order of preference and interesting price -- what we'd buy first if we were building our own museum.

There are majority of people who are looking of ways to spend less on clothing and more on other stuff. However, this is not the case always. People tend to spend more on clothes and less on other things. Let's talk about saving some dollars on clothes. It's your choice either dress to impress or be modest; be the fashion icon or be the typical geek!
Some people love to shop, shop and shop till they start dropping their bags around or wait, until they go bankrupt! Don't worry, there are some people who just love to shop without spending a dollar, yes, we are talking about window-shoppers wasting hours and hours, feasting their eyes with the sight of stunningly beautiful dresses, mesmerizing stuff and what not! Choice is up to you which one would you prefer to be? Play Safe!!
Today, I will b sharing few tips on how to dress for less while saving your time and energy at the same moment. Here we go with our list:
1. Save every cent on your clothes. Best way to make money for new clothes is to sell what you are not wearing at a consignment shop. Sound's Great?!!? So, search for all those items that you haven't touched in a year and take them all to a consignment shop. Use this money to buy some new outfits.
2. Look out for off-season clothes. It would be a great idea buying your coats and sweaters in June or July or summer dresses in January.
3. Avail your discount coupons. Never let go your sales coupons to waste, use them wisely!
4. Buy cheaper sweatshirts or tees and mix them wisely with other accessories to make them look chic and trendy.
5. Avoid over-washing your clothes. You might don't want to wear them out so soon. Avoid washing them with bleach, hard detergents and dry-cleaning, too.
6. Set a budget plan to know your limits. Avoid spending too much on your clothes especially when you don't want to burden your wardrobe with "regretting-later" kind of outfits.
7. Remember trends are not friends. Make your own fashion statement. Surprise people with your low priced outfits. Unleash your creativity and play with your clothes.
8. Research is important. Make the most of your online shopping skills. You may never know what you can get on internet before hitting the mall.
9. Never buy when you are feeling low. Shopping won't boost your self-esteem; it would only make you dull with huge bills.
10. Make sure you know your size before making the final move. Don't buy a figure hugging dress when you are planning to shed some pounds. Stop fooling yourself.

Western Sydney missed a chance to close the gap on Brisbane Roar on Saturday night as they fought out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Newcastle Jets at Hunter Stadium.
The Jets lost Emile Heskey in the warm up after he suffered back spasms forcing him out and seeing Nick Ward come in to the starting XI while Josh Mitchell was promoted to the bench.
That change nearly worked out for Newcastle in the 12th minute as Andrew Hoole sent a cross along the ground that saw Ante Covic dive out and stopped the ball at Nick Ward's feet.
The Wanderers were able to have solid chances up the other end with corner after corner threatening the Jets goal but they couldn't take the chances that were offered.
Newcastle kept on working and in the 26th minute they had the opener as Adam Taggart gathered a loose ball that he smashed at goal from distance that left Covic with no chance.
Not long later Newcastle nearly made it two as Craig Goodwin was able to get in to the box and hit a shot that was parried away by Covic.
Right at the death of the half Aaron Mooy hit an impressive free-kick from distance as he looped his shot over the wall and in to the top corner to level the scores at one at the break.
Just after the break Taggart nearly restored Newcastle's lead as he again let fly from distance but was denied as Covic tipped it over the bar.
Joel Griffiths made his return to Newcastle just after the hour, to the delight of the crowd but his impact wasn't what the Jets would have liked as Western Sydney hit the lead shortly after.
It was horrible defending from Newcastle that allowed the goal as the shot from a corner was cleared off the line right into Michael Beauchamp who it deflected off, crediting Beauchamp with the goal.
Labinot Haliti nearly wrapped things up for Newcastle moments later as he hit a shot that snuck its way through a crowded penalty area only for Mark Birighitti to be equal to it and make the save.
In the last minute of the match a Jets corner resulted in another goal mouth scramble and again it found a goal as Taggart tapped it home.
There was still time for late drama as Joel Griffiths continued where he left off in the A-League, doing little to endear himself to the referees, earning a red card for dissent after a challenge by Covic on Taggart.

Miami Dolphins Stock Report: Week 3
Because I'm not spewing hot venom DAILY at the Miami Dolphins I've been accused of getting soft.
Claims from the misinformed usually don't bother me. However, I did realize I haven't put up a stock report the first two weeks of the season.
I didn't do it the first week because of the quick turnaround after that Monday night loss to the Patriots, which overpowered the Dolphins in EVERY aspect of the game.
But I admit to not doing a full stock report (one player in each category was on my new Wednesday column) after the week two loss to Houston.
However, I wasn't pulling punches. I did write the accountability blog instead. But to be honest, there just aren't enough hours in the week for me (I've promised my wife I'll only work 50 hours THIS WEEK, and I'm working hard to stick to it so I can be a better father and husband).
But enough of Mr. Nice Guy. Accountability is my theme for the 2011 season. I'll accept no excuses, and that means I must continue to point fingers at the Dolphins falling short of expectations.
I can't, and won't promise you a stock report every week, but I'll keep it in the rotation.
The first of the 2011 season doesn't strictly center on last Sunday's gut check loss to the Browns. It encompasses the team's 0-3 starts.
Stock Up
RB Daniel Thomas – I'm cautiously optimistic about the Dolphins second-round pick. He jumped on the scheme two weeks ago and made his disappointing training camp and exhibition season performances disagree with a strong 107 rushing effort against Houston. I gave Mike Pouncey plenty credit for that showing. But he followed it up with a 95 yard rushing total against the Browns. He also caught three passes for 27 yards, one of which produced the Dolphins' only touchdown of the game. However, Thomas did whiff on a block that got Chad Henne sacked.
WR Brian Hartline – He's consistently made tough catches this season, and the 38-yard sideline grab he caught against the Browns was probably the best of this young season. Hartline's extremely efficient as the team's third receiver. He's a good run blocker. Gets open deep enough, and makes though catches. He came 13 yards shy of producing his first 100 yard game, but I get the feeling he'll break the century mark this season.
DE Randy Starks – He's the most consistent performer on the team's deepest unit, which hasn't been playing up to their talent level. But Starks has been delivering his share of forceful stops, and edge setting. It'd be idea if the Dolphins put him in the nickel and dime sets again, allowing him to pass rush more often. Starks, who made the Pro Bowl last season as an alternate, does need to improve on his pass rushing. He can, and should be doing more. But there's a loooooooong list of players on defense who fit into that category.
Stock Down
RT Marc Colombo – When Nate Garner has to play 10-15 snaps a game as part of an overloaded line, and only lines up on the right side, it's clear the Dolphins understand there's a problem at right tackle. When Anthony Fasano has to spent more than half the game max protectioning on the right side, how can the coaches conclude there aren't issues? However, the fact nothing has been done to explore replacing Colombo, who has allowed a sack a game, is troubling. At this point Vernon Carey's right shoulder injury could be a hinderance, but something must be done.
ILB Kevin Burnett – He hasn't done a single thing worth mentioning in the first three games of 2011, and this defense has gone from good to bad very quickly. With Karlos Dansby's participation limited by his groin injury Burnett became the primary coverage linebacker who was responsble for defending tailbacks and tight ends. Those two positions caught 11 of the 19 passes Colt McCoy completed. What's more troubling is the fact he struggles to shed blocks. Burnett is clearly falling short of this playmaker reputation he came to Miami with.
SS Yeremiah Bell – The Dolphins' leading tackler the past three seasons has failed to make an impact in three games. While he hasn't exactly been a liability like Reshad Jones in the first two games, Bell has been about a step slow on nearly every play. He's not a factor on blitzes, is getting abused by tight ends (like everyone else), and can't cover much ground in zone coverage. While Jimmy Wilson took the bullet for the game-winning touchdown Mohammed Massaquoi scored in the closing minutes of Sunday's loss ot the Browns, Bell was supposed to be in that area helping.
So, who do you think has exceeded, or fallen short of meeting the team's expectations in 2011?

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - Rihards Kuksiks matched his career high with 27 points and Arizona State dominated No. 24 Washington from the start in a 67-51 victory Friday night.
Ty Abbott added 17 points for the Sun Devils (1-2 Pac-10, 11-5), who led by 11 in the first half and 19 in the second in the Huskies' second Pac-10 loss in a row.
Trent Lockett had 11 points for Arizona State. The Sun Devils had an 18-point advantage at the foul line, 30 of 37 to the Huskies' 12 of 21.
Isaiah Thomas led Washington (10-4, 1-2) with 20 points. Elston Turner was the only other Washington player in double figures with 10 in by far the Huskies' lowest-scoring game of the season.
Arizona State made 8 of 19 3-pointers, 5 of 8 by Kuksiks, while Washington was 3 of 14.
The Huskies were coming off a 90-79 loss to Oregon last Saturday that snapped Washington's 18-game home winning streak. Arizona State was swept at UCLA and USC last weekend, the latest a 47-37 loss to the Trojans.
Neither team shot well as Arizona State took a 28-19 lead at the break, the fewest points in the first half this season for the Huskies. The previous low was 24 in their 63-59 win over Montana on Nov. 29.
The Sun Devils were worse from the field in the first half, making 6 of 22 (27 percent), but they were 5 of 13 from 3-point range to Washington's 1 of 6.
Washington went the first 7:17 without a field goal, missing its first nine shots.
The Sun Devils started the game 5 of 15, but all five were 3-points. Abbott's second 3 of the night put Arizona State up 17-9 with 6:49 to play. The lead reached 22-11 on Abbott's two free throws with 4:58 left.
Quincy Pondexter's layup cut it to 28-21 in the first half, but Kuksiks followed with a 3-pointer and Washington never got within single digits again.
The biggest lead was 51-32 on Abbott's layup with 8:33 to play.
Washington got it to 61-49 on Venoy Overton's layup with 2 1/2 minutes left, then the Sun Devils put it away with free throws.

VIDEO: Florida 'turtle cam' catches loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings headed to sea
KEY WEST, Fla. - About 100 loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings were captured on the Key West "turtle cam" making their way to the ocean.
On Friday, the three-inch hatchlings made their way from the nest to the ocean's edge, just before 9 p.m. Key West time.
The camera uses infrared lighting so the baby turtles aren't confused by artificial light.
They are guided by moonlight to reflections on the water, instead of venturing in the wrong direction to land.
The live stream has been showcasing the high-definition video from the Florida Keys beach on a website.
The camera is part of continuing efforts to raise awareness about the importance of preserving and protecting sea turtles.
The three-inch loggerhead sea turtle babies will grow to be about three feet long.
A female loggerhead comes up to the beach once every two to four years to lay nests.
A loggerhead can live up to 65 years.
