I'm so excited about the Special Needs Fund campaign! My dog, Olive, came to me through ETAA but was originally an HES dog (Tasha). She came in with an injured leg and it had to be amputated. Thanks to this fund, she is happy and healthy and living the best life ever!! Three legs never slows her down- she loves to play, run, and hike. I'm spreading the word about this campaign as obviously it hits home with me. I thought those of you who cared for her might enjoy some photos too. She's such an amazing part of my life. THANK YOU!!Kate

File this under "Why didn't we think of it?" Fred Ice Kebabs are extended ice cube trays with an extended slot for a swizzle stick. Fill 'em with water, put in the stick, and freeze 'em, and then you can pull out the sticks with the ice right on them. This is a very cool way to make your cocktails a bit more distinctive, and one of the only ways we can think of that you'll be able to make the ice a conversation starter.

Michael style tenets
Published 27/01/2013 | 06:00
Michael Kors rules for dressing
On coats
"A beautiful slim, tailored coat automatically makes your jeans look dressed-up and polished."
On tailoring
"The right tailoring can make you feel taller and thinner."
On trousers
"When buying trousers, it is important to know how you look in them from every angle."
On baring flesh
"If your hemline is short, cover your arms. You want to bare one thing, not everything."
On jeans
"I don't care if you live in Lapland, nothing is more glamorous than white jeans."
On evening dresses
"The right evening clothes have no season, no year. I love those pieces."
On belts
"I love a men's-style belt worn over everything from a super-feminine dress to a pair of jeans."
On looking great
"Figure out your best attribute and always put a star over it."
On colour
"The majority of the closet should always stay neutral, but that does not have to be black. It can be chocolate, olive, tan, camel or white – that's what allows you to play with colour."
On red
"I'm a true believer that red is the one bright colour that is like a neutral. It is powerful, feminine and sexy; men love a woman in red."
On ageing
"You want to look the best for your age. You don't want to look another age."
On youth
"When you are in your teens and your early 20s, if you want to go crazy and have fun, that's the time to do it. Don't get so conservative so soon."

ABOUTLearn More
The A/P/A Institute brings together accomplished scholars, community builders, and artists from New York City and beyond in interactive forums, reflection, and new research.
COLLECTIONSLearn More
The Asian/Pacific/American (A/P/A) Institute connects New York's Asian/Pacific American (A/PA) communities with students and scholars, promoting exchanges of knowledges to encourage change. Founded in 1996 in response to student interest, the A/P/A Institute nurtures the production of academic, literary, and artistic work about the largely marginalized experience of A/PAs. The building of collections and archives is a crucial component of this mission. Archives preserve physical documentation of the past. Scholars, artists, activists, and community members need access to the materials from which their present has been created. A/P/A Institute is facilitating the process of finding an accessible, permanent home for New York Metro region and East Coast A/PA materials. Our vision is to provide collections that allow for engagement with and dialogue about the experiences of A/PAs.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
When I first saw that this game was coming out for Xbox, about a year ago, I was amazed. Puzzle games are great, and I love this one. I was disappointed that I had no Xbox and couldn't play it. Then I found this. Awesome, just completely awesome.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very nice.
Ran into a few bugs in the later levels, and it was tough, but great.

Are you tempted to turn to one of the several Augusta "Buy Here Pay Here" lots for your next automobile purchase? Beware of the tricks they use to deceive customers into paying more than they should for a vehicle they should not drive. An increasing number of savvy shoppers are choosing DriveTime to help them find and finance their next vehicle, benefiting from superior inventory, more payment options, and better customer service in the process.
At DriveTime, we believe our customers deserve to choose from among the best available used cars in the area. Sadly, too many Augusta "Buy Here Pay Here" lots subscribe to a different ethos. They fail to inspect and maintain the few vehicles they offer, yet charge inordinate amounts for these cars. The high monthly payments and maintenance costs often lead to repossessions; a misfortune we aim never to have happen at DriveTime.
Working with Augusta "Buy Here Pay Here" dealers frequently means customers work directly with an in-house financing department to make payment arrangements. Although these establishments say their financing is "convenient" and "easy," it fails to take into account the unique circumstances of each individual. At DriveTime, we work with multiple financing companies to find the best payment plans for each of our customers, giving them the best chance to establish on-time payment histories.
When it comes to poor or no credit financing in Augusta, "Buy Here Pay Here" dealers simply cannot be trusted. With limited selections of cars and financing options, these companies use a business model that "stacks the deck" against customers. To ensure you receive the best customer service and the most flexible payment plans when buying your used car, truck, or SUV, call on a DriveTime dealer today.
