Dharma (Righteousness) is not a casual word to be bandied about. Repeating often quoted phrases such as "Righteousness is that which sustains" (Dharayateeti Dharmaha) or Righteousness protects its protectors (Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitaha) is a very common practice, but is not enough. What is needed is the practice of righteousness. Right conduct alone constitutes Dharma. The person who leads a righteous life is bound to find peace. Whoever goes into towns and villages to propagate righteousness must remember and practice these four important injunctions, "Do not cause harm to anyone", "Do not abuse anybody", "Perform your duties with loving devotion" and "Make your heart pure". Even though most of our actions are related to worldly concerns, realisation of Divine is the goal. The only way to sanctify all our actions while leading our daily life is to do every act as an act of worship, as an offering to the Divine. Thus your whole life will be transformed into a sacred existence. (Divine Discourse, Jan 7, 1988)

Int. Cl. A61k 7/02 U.S. Cl. 424-63 1 Claim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Water-resistant liquid makeup for the skin of the eyelids may be formulated on the basis of an aqueous dispersion of water-insoluble addition polymer in combination with polyhydric alcohol, pigment, water-insoluble inorganic silicate and optional ingredients as detailed in the disclosure.
CRASS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application is a cont-inuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 419,575, filed Dec. 18, 1964, now abancloned.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention is concerned with cosmetic compositions for application to the skin, and more particularly with rub-proof, stain-proof liquid makeup.
In the past, both dry and liquid makeup preparations, i.e. face powder, cake makeup and makeup cream, have been applied to the skin for cosmetic purposes. Each of these preparations, however, will rub off on the clothing, and they are therefore particularly unsatisfactory for application to the neck. Furthermore, the conventional cosmetics are subject to staining and smearing by moisture, and may be rendered unsightly by perspiration or rain.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A novel group of water-based makeup compositions have now been discovered which are entirely free from these important disadvantages. They are not only waterresistant, but rub-proof, and stain-proof as well. Accordingly, they may be applied to the face and neck to a point below the clothing line without risk of soiling the blouse or coat. These elegant new cosmetics are also excellent for application to the arms and legs, as well as to the face and eyelids. When applied, they quickly dry to a natural-appearing film which is permeable to perspiration and oil. In spite of their moisture-resistance, the novel cosmetics of the present invention are readily removed from the skin by cleansing cream or by soap and Water.
The compositions which exhibit these significant advantages are aqueous dispersions of water-insoluble addition polymer, containing polyhydric alcohol humectant, finely divided inert pigment and finely divided inorganic silcate.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Any non-toxic, water-insoluble addition polymer in aqueous dispersion is suitable. The expression non-toxic as used herein is intended to exclude substances which would have irritating or other adverse effect on the skin or eyes in normal use. Polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl butyral, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, vinyl pyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymers, and polyacrylic esters are a few of the polymers which provide excellent tackfree, flexible films. Others will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Particularly preferred for their excel lent film-forming properties are the polyacrylic esters, especially copolymers of alkyl acrylates and methacrylates, e.g. ethyl acrylate with methyl methacrylate. These resins are commercially available in aqueous emulsion from a variety of sources, and usually contain small concentrations of one or more anionic and/or nonionic surface active agents. The commercial resins are usually prepared by copolymerization of about 3040% by weight methyl methacrylate with about 6070% ethyl acrylate; a minor proportion of an afi-unsa-turated carboxylic acid such as acrylic, methacrylic or itaconic acid may also be included in the copolymer. There is, of course, no need to rely upon commercially available resins for use in the new cosmetic formulations; appropriate addition polymer aqueous dispersions may, if desired, be specifically prepared by standard polymerization methods, particularly by emulsion polymerization. The techniques employed are quite well known, fully described in the literature, and exemplified hereinafter. Interpolymers of ethyl and bultyl acrylate with butyl methacrylate give excellent resu ts.
The proportion of water-insoluble addition polymer employed in the new cosmetic formulations may vary over a wide range. For most applications, a level of about 3-7% w./v. (i.e. grams per ml.) will be preferred for an optimum combination of permanence and natural appearance, but levels below 3% or above 7% may also be used if desired.
The humectant may be any polyhydric alcohol, for example, a glycol such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, or the polyethylene glycols marketed under various trade names. Alternatively, other polyols such as sorbitol or glycerine may be used. A particularly preferred humectant is propylene glycol. Levels of about 2.5% w./v. or higher are usually appropriate, but even lower concentrations also offer beneficial effect. For face-, armand leg makeup, humectant levels of 2.55% are best.
The inert pigment or pigments, which may be inorganic or organic in nature, are employed in the form of fine powder. They should, of course, be pharmaceutically acceptable, i.e. non-irritating to the skin and eyes, and free of adverse or unpleasant properties or effect at the level of ordinary use. Suitable pigments include the various red, yellow and black iron oxides, titanium dioxide, the Drug and Cosmetic colors, eye shadows such as Prussion blue, ultramarine blue, iron blues, chrome green, carbon black, and the like. For optimum hiding power, a total pigment level of at least about 5% w./v. is desirable; there is usually no added advantage in employing more than about 20% W./v., and higher levels than this may detract from the natural effect. The color may be formulated in a variety of shades, to match the skin, or to lighten or darken the complexion, as desired.
In addition, a finely divided inorganic silicate is included as a dispersing and fiatting agent. Various magnesium silicates, calcium silicates, magnesium aluminum silicates, aluminum silicates, and colloidal silica itself, are among the silicates which are suitable for this purpose. Specific examples include bentonite, fullers earth, talc, kaolin and their synthetic counterparts. All of these are substantially water-insoluble. They are widely availab in fine particle size, exhibiting high bulking properties. At least about 0.5% w./v. should be employed.
The new aqueous-based makeup preparations should be substantially neutral, having a pH between about 6.5 and 8. A pH of approximately 7.5 is best.
Among the optional ingredients which may be added are the pharmaceutically acceptable surface active agents. While all types are usable, nonionic and especially anionic surfactants are preferred. Suitable agents include triethanolamine salts of alkanoic acids, sorbitan monoalkanoates, and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monoalkanoates, such as the stearates, palmitates, oleates and laurates; as well as polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, including the stearyl, cetyl, oleyl and lauryl ethers. Emulsion stabilizers such as glyceryl monostearate and stearyl monoglyceridyl citrate may also be included. An appropriate surfactant level is 1.5% w./v. or higher, and preferably 3% or higher, although there is little or no added advantage to levels above about 6%.
Where the foregoing surfactant levels are employed, it is frequently beneficial to incorporate an oleaginous emollient, for lubricant or plasticizing effect and most natural appearance. A preferred class of emollients is the ester type, including vegetable oils such as safflower oil and other glycerides, as well as alkyl myristates, e.g. isopropyl and isocetyl myristates. Another preferred class are the mineral or hydrocarbon oils. Other suitable emollients include lanolin and lanolin derivatives, silicone oils, and the higher alkanols, such as cetyl and stearyl alcohols. An emollient level of about 1% w./v. or more is preferable, especially between about 1 and 3%. Even higher levels can, of course, also be used.
If no surfactant is employed, beyond the trace already usually present in the water-insoluble addition polymer, it is best to include a water-soluble resin in the formulation to aid in dispersing the pigments. Any non-toxic, Water-soluble addition polymer can be used, such as polyvinyl alcohol or the salts of various polyelectrolytes, e.g. polyacrylic and polymethacrylic acids. Levels between about 2 and 4% w./v. are appropriate.
Cosmetics such as eye shadow and eye-liner, for application to the skin of the eyelids by pen or brush, may be formulated in accordance with the invention, and these possess all the advantages set forth above. These will ordinarily employ the darker shades of pigment, such as the blues, greens, umbers and blacks. For eye-liner, the level of the finely divided inorganic silicate is preferably at least about 2% W./v., and levels of 1530% or more are often appropriate. Likewise, in this particular type of formulation, the humectant level ought to be at least about 5%, e.g. about 510%, for an elegant product, and the oleaginous emollient will then usually be omitted.
As with most liquid and cream cosmetics, it is prudent to include a preservative or fungistat in the new products of this invention. Those suitable include formaldehyde, alkyl parahydroxybenzoates, Orthophenyl phenol, sorbic acid or its salts, tetrachlorosalicylanilide, p-chlorophenyl glycerol ether, and similar agents. Concentrations of about 0.1-0.8%, depending upon the particular agent selected, are customary.
Perfumes, antiseptics, stimulants for peripheral circulation, and sun screen agents are other optional ingredients. Examples include hexachlorophene, resorcinol, allantoin and sulfur preparations. Some of these may be used if a mildly medicated product is desired, e.g. for users with acne or incipient facial blemishes.
The various ingredients chosen are merely combined, with suitable agitation, to produce a stable, uniform dispersion in liquid or cream form. The resulting cosmetic products when applied to the skin exhibit the highly desirable rub-proof, stain-proof properties detailed hereinbefore; they are readily removed with cleansing cream or soap and water when desired.
The following examples are provided for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims.

Favorite interview questions to ask a product manager?
Curious to hear what are others favorite interview questions to ask a product manager? Not looking for broad base advice, but rather actual example questions or processes.

UX Strategist, Product Manager, Phase II
Hmmm...interesting question. Of course, part of the problem is what you mean by "product manager." Just in the past several months I've witnessed my prior, rock-solid definition get blown away by a variety of different roles.
So, perhaps that would be the first question to ask the candidate: How do you define the role of product manager?
Others include:
- Tell me about your recent experience researching <the market your company is serving>
- Describe your optimal arrangement/organization for the product definition team (who should be on it, what is its role, who is responsible for what)
- What is the difference, in your experience, between a Product Manager and a Product Owner?
- What is your working relationship with UX? Between the two disciplines, how is the product lifecycle addressed?
And so forth.
Stevan Vigneaux Advisor
Director of Product Management and Marketing at Mimio
Agreed, definitions are changing. Then again, I have always found them to vary from company to company. In some places product management includes much of what product marketing does in other companies. In other firms product management is narrower. Which model is right? Truly not meaning to be flippant - the one that works for your people in your culture at your time.
My definition has always been broad - the product manager is responsible for making sure the company builds and launches products that generate profits for the company. That doesn't mean the product manager builds them, that's engineering's role, but this is a team that needs a leader - the product manager. It doesn't mean the product manager necessarily runs the launch, that may be marketing's role or it may fall to product management.
One of the most important interview goals is determining if this candidate will be able to "see around corners" so we can spend the next few months or quarters building the product that is at the exact intersection of market wants and needs the day it launches.
The product manager absolutely must understand the customers. Great product management has never been primarily about the technology. Getting the product built - that's heavily about technology. But figuring out what we ought to start building today for delivery 6-24 months from now, that's about people.
It's about coming to understand their work (my career has been 99% B-to-B), seeing inefficiencies that are just "the way things are" to the users, finding out what motivates the Choosers (who actually, or effectively, make the buying decision), divining who are the Influencers and what are their concerns/wants/needs, and developing a view of what could be, a view of what customers will pay for - even if they might laugh at you right now if you described it. After all, we're not shipping this new product tomorrow.
By the time we are sitting down with each other the first set of questions are about the people side of the candidate. I ask questions along the lines of:
- To candidates currently working as a product manager
- What product or features are you working on now in your current position that most customers would say they don't want or need?
- How do you prioritize features in a new product or a release of an existing product?
- Who are your three favorite customers? If they have a hard time answering that they likely do not have three favorite customers which probably means they are not in customer facilities often enough and/or are not breaking bread with them (an incredibly effective way to enable people to talk about work without feeling they are being interviewed or pumped).
- To candidates currently working in engineering
- How will you determine products and/or features to recommend to the team? This can reveal whether the candidate is an "I'll figure it all out and tell them" product manager or a "I'll spend time with the team to learn how they think, to get a sense of how they have worked together thus far and then I'll work with them to develop lines of research and I'll ask some of them to come along on customer meetings" kind of product manager.
- What makes a good product? I always hope "one that sells many units at a large profit" is at least part of the answer. If the majority of the answer is about elegance, feature set, and UX - bad sign. Zillions of such products have crashed and burned - along with the companies that offered them.
The second major area is about communication skills. Even the most glorious product plan is of little value if the engineers do not clearly understand what they have been asked to build and why this is a good thing to be building. And they need to understand the timeline and why this is the timeline. One of the best tests of a well communicated product plan is to ask the engineering team to describe what they have been asked to build and see if it matches with the product manager's view. If not, the product manager has a problem, and so does the company.
In this area I usually ask the candidate to explain his/her current product. I don't generally say much more than that just so I can see where the presentation goes. Does it unreasonably assume certain knowledge on my part, does it start with some basics to assure we have sufficient a common knowledge to enable communication, does the explanation start with target market/Chooser/User or benefits or value proposition or, bad sign, the technology.
Then I'll usually ask them to tell me about the product they least liked. Again, not a lot of framing, just an open question to see where it goes. Same general goal on my end - determining if they can communicate clearly and concisely to a range of audiences.
Lastly on the communications front, and assuming things have gone well so far, I'll ask about the product they would love to build, their dream assignment. Most don't do well at this but the ones that do get loads of points - and it doesn't need to have anything at all to do with our company.
All through this I am looking for personality and culture fit. Can they handle the culture of our company, will they complement it or be drawn into it and thus possibly not be an addition to us. Will they be comfortable being contrarian when needed and then getting on board with whatever is decided, or will they remain a grousing and dissonant voice if it doesn't go their way?
I hope that helps a little. Obviously, it's not the most scientific approach, there's no point scoring system, no super clear in/out metric. But it's worked well enough. Not perfectly, but well enough.
Lastly, Matt LeMay published a great piece recently - herethat has many similar sentiments and is very well presented.
Andrea Raimondi Entrepreneur

So far, I haven't seen a lot of product managers around. However, one thing that strikes me about the "good ones", or - at least - the ones I consider good ones, is their industry knowledge. I do not think that a product manager can reach certain high levels of success without industry knowledge.
So, here are the things I would be looking for in a product manager:
1) Industry knowledge
2) Understanding of SDLC and understanding of programming (two different things)
3) Understanding of pro/cons of every major technology/platform
This basically means they must have been in a software development role in the past and must keep themselves up-to-date.
Hence, the most important question I'd ask would be something like this:
"$Product uses $Technology: what is the missing feature that you think would be best to implement and why?"
This gives you all the insight you need in the following areas:
1) Industry knowledge: he/she knows $Product and its features/limitations
2) Tech knowledge: Does the technology help in implementing it? Does it go against the grain?
3) Customer understanding: best bang for the buck

Personally, I believe when you are dealing at the PM level, ability to execute is critical. It should become clear very early on in the interview if the candidate has a good grasp of the industry and the technology. However, you can have those qualities in spades but if you can't execute, you don't have much except some great ideas.
I will ask the candidate to take you through a project they took from concept to delivery and probe on specifics on the process they used and how they worked with their cross-functional team members.
Hope that helps.
Will Murphy Entrepreneur
Cofounder & VP Product at Talla
It depends a lot on factors like what industry are you in and what phase your company is in. Off the top of my head, here are some thought-starters:
1) What products and services are you are passionate about and why?
Good: They will get excited - and tell you about design, customer experience, price, performance of how the product or service works,the operational design (how it is built), how it gets to customers, how it gets sold, and how it is branded/ marketed.
Bad: XYZ product, because they look cool
2) Tell me how you resolved a conflict between people.
Product Management is about leading people as well as the product.
3) How many years experience in software development (or some other area for different industries) do you have and what did you accomplish?
4) How many years of customer research experience do you have and what did you accomplish?
5) What do you do to uncover customer needs?
Good: They look for customer needs and why they are needed in context of the customer's life, sometimes unspoken - also track macro trends and what the future will look like
Bad: Ask the customers to provide feature requests
6) How does the job change as your product grows?
7) How do yo balance incremental product improvements with game-changing improvements?
8) How do you prioritize features?
Good: Based on roadmap/ vision validated by what you know from customers, trends, etc.
Bad: First-in, first out based on feature requests
9) How do you know which customer requests to ignore?
10) Tell me why you do research. What to you want to discover?
11) How do your competitors impact your feature planning?
Good: Good to be aware, but we set our own vision
Bad: We create a comparative feature grid and match it
12) How do you collaborate with the people building the product?
Good: We meet to make tradeoffs based on the future vision
Bad: I ask for features, they code the features with little context of the future

Hi Bill,Being a PM myself I can always tell if interviewer has a good understanding about the PM role. Questions are very indicative.I would say questions the best questions are like following: what product line/s you have managed (revenue, SKU, profit margin), what phase of the life cycle youenjoyed the most and why, how such/such methodology/implementation helped you on such/such stage and what was the outcome; lunch strategy, roadmaps.Hope it helps,let me know if more questions,Nataliya

Lovely Relaxing Holiday
We spent 2 great weeks here from mid to late June. My wife and I and our 2 children (2 and 4 yrs of age) had a really relaxing break. The villa is comfortable with well laid out accommodation with an open plan living kitchen dining room and bedrooms all on one level perfect for our needs. The pool area is one of the best we have experienced in terms of privacy as the mature gardens shield the property from the neighbours to create a little oasis in which to enjoy the sunshine the lovely pool and the wonderful garden area. Perfect holiday really and we would definitely recommend to our family and friends and we will go back again! Locatoin wise you need a car but with many lovely villages within a few minutes drive and the glitzy coastal resorts within an hour's, you are close to everything.

Discussion?Finance Organization and Long-Term Planning-Considering Genesis Energy?s aggressive growth
Question;Assignment 1: Discussion?Finance Organization;and Long-Term Planning;Considering;Genesis Energy?s aggressive growth plan, Sensible Essentials suggested that its;client should broaden the scope of financing beyond short-term loans and;consider long-term financing options. These options would greatly enhance the;ability of the operations management team to fund the capital investments and;growth in operating expenses.;One;option is selling more equity in the company. A public stock offering might be;a possibility, however, a company as young and small as Genesis Energy might be;hard to value.

Another option is a long-term bank loan.;Acting;as the finance expert for Sensible Essentials, respond to the following;?;Determine the cost of debt and equity for;Genesis Energy and its weighted average cost of capital. Go towww.yahoofinance.com and look under SEC filings. Use a US;publicly traded company, such as Apple;Google, DuPont, etc.;?;Identify the sources of long-term financing for;Genesis Energy.;?;Analyze the potential costs and benefits of;each option.;?;Explain how relative risk (from the investor?s;perspective) impacts the cost of capital for Genesis Energy.;?;Determine the cost of debt and equity for;Genesis Energy and its weighted average cost of capital.;?;Calculate the required rate of return for;Genesis Energy using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). What is the;required return for Genesis Energy shareholders?;Write;your initial response in 300?500 words.

As police scoured mountain peaks for days, using everything from bloodhounds to high-tech helicopters, the revenge-seeking ex-cop they wanted was hiding among them, holed up in a vacation cabin across the street from their command post.
It was there that Christopher Dorner apparently took refuge last Thursday, four days after beginning a deadly rampage that would claim four lives.
The search ended abruptly Tuesday when a man believed to be Dorner bolted from hiding, stole two cars, barricaded himself in a vacant cabin and mounted a last stand in a furious shootout in which he killed one sheriff's deputy and wounded another before the building erupted in flames.Continue reading on www.foxnews.com

This thesis explores interactions between the formal qualities of three experimental novels and the experiences of their characters. When the interactions are mimetic our ability to accompany and develop affection for the characters is enriched, but when they are not the formal qualities can direct us towards more abstract concerns within and beyond the novels. I will focus upon the relation between mimetic and abstract formal effects and have chosen each novel because of the intricate way in which it entangles these. Georges Perec's A Void demonstrates how perilous a rigid interpretation of form's mimetic effect can be for the characters, but the novel rescues readers by directing them towards a host of more abstract formal effects which emphasise innovation rather than mimesis. A Void thereby asserts the importance of separating these two types of formal effect. I will, however, experiment with ways of using the abstract effects to create a new type of appreciation of character. Christine Brooke-Rose's Next generates formal effects which seem abstract because they frustrate our access to character, but these can often be reconceptualised as means of representing the experiences of the marginalised characters. The formal qualities of Next also create an abstract set of relations which increase our understanding of the notion of accompaniment itself and thereby heighten our appreciation of the themes of the novel. Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho focuses upon a character whose self-centred perspective functions like a formal quality which limits our access to the narrative. While this perspective is emblematic of the superficiality of Bateman's world, it also occasionally enables moments of meditative withdrawal which provide an alternative to that world. Yet even as such moments distinguish Bateman from the superficiality of his surroundings, they produce the type of detachment which can be used to sanction his horrific behaviour. Consequently, Bateman provides a warning against over-indulging an abstract perspective. These synopses show that while abstract formal effects can separate readers from character they may also assist readers to develop creative responses to character. This thesis aims to negotiate that fine line between an innovative and an insensitive response to literary form.

Clawdd Coch (also Clawdd-coch or Clawddcoch) is a hamlet in the Vale of Glamorgan. It lies to the northeast of Tredodridge in the parish of Pendoylan. It is located near the edge of the Vale of Glamorgan Golf Club and Hensol Castle.
It translates as "Red Ridge", coch being the Welsh language word for "red".[1]
Clawdd Coch is documented as having some degree of importance as a Roman settlement and it is believed to be the final resting place of Ostorius.[2][3] One of the roads leading into the hamlet was built by the Romans, known as Via Media.[2] A notable smelting operation of lead and copper took place in the vicinity at what was known as "Dol-y-felin-blwm".[2]
In the mid 19th century, the hamlet was known to be owned by a Mr. Asterley who farmed the land here.[3] Presumably he lived in what is Clawdd Coch guest house, a long farmhouse which was built in the 1650s. It was a favourite of Ivor Novello, who would often spend relaxing weekends here, to gain inspiration for his works.[4] It underwent renovation in 1988.

Random Thoughts
If you're staring at one stock all session, chances are you're too big in the name.
"So, maybe portfolios ought to be stress tested both for a hard landing and no immediate landing." Minyan Michael Santoli, discussing the financial outlook in his always excellent Barron's missive.
I, for one, am looking for clarity. And I, for deux, think we'll find some on December 1st. I mean, if we can't shake some actionable ideas in the afternoon, we can most certainly have fun looking for 'em at night. A Festivus for the rest of us? You betcha!
We continue to hear angst in the ranks from underinvested portfolio managers. I told them that I want to pull out my bear costume (with defined risk slightly above S&P 1365) but breadth, as it stands, is simply too snazzy to do so.
Can that change? On a dime. Just make sure it doesn't change on your dime.
Speaking of costumes, can you really blame 'em for smiling?
"I view Mattel's (MAT) earnings beat and 5% stock rally as a classic "Good News/ Bad News" conundrum. On the happy side of the ledger, it's nice to see the consumer stepping up to buy the classics like Seizure Elmo and Anatomically-Impossible Barbie. Mattel is better than they were, operationally, but toys remain on the bloody edge of economic slow-downs; if MAT is beating estimates and saying good things about Christmas, I don't want to be shorting the consumer just yet." Television's JeffMacke on today's Buzz.
I pared some longs in energy (Weatherford) and metals into the quick morning pop. I've yet to touch Golden Star (GSS), which remains a 'core long' for now.
The laggy banks (Wachovia is off 3%) also support further slippage, particularly if BKX 114 morphs back into a ceiling.
Note to self: Do not wear a Yankee hat to Shea Stadium. Particularly when they lose.
We've recently seen big buyers of calls in Phelps Dodge (LBO chatter), Broadcom (ahead of earnings) and Yahoo! (takeover speculation--no, really!).
If you're staring at one stock all session, chances are you're too big in the name. Balance, mon frere, brings good things to life.
Mini-Minyan Mailbag
"I just wanted to share that I made the worst bet of my life. I bet $50 in Vegas in August on the over 6 1/2 wins for season wins for the Raiders. When they are on their game they are one of the most exciting teams in the NFL. Just goes to show that one needs to remove emotion when investing. At this point, however, like a declining stock, should we cut our losses and move on to another team? Tell me no." Minyan Ron
MR- I've always said that bad seasons define good fans. As such, the Raider Nation must be the best fans in the NFL. It is a sorry state of affairs for our once proud franchise--no chemistry, no teamwork, no excuses. We had our shot--three seasons with a legitimate chance--but lost to the Patriots, Ravens and Bucs in kind. Heck, I was sitting next to Tom Brady Saturday night and I had to stop myself from telling him to go "tuck" himself. I didn't, of course, and chose instead to give Bridget the benefit of my attention.

The Reflect Sideboard was designed by Søren Rose for Muuto. Its unique look is the result of the circumstances under which it was designed: the designer Søren Rose was inspired by the incidence of Scandinavian lights.
The wood, from which the front of the Reflect Sideboard is made off, possesses different depths and curves. The edges from the single cupboards are arched to the front imitating the shadow fall and the reflection of the light on top of the wood.
