Pictures by James Vyn |
It was amazing to be surrounded by such a magical athmosphere, very inspiring as well. James and I loved discovering little details which bring so much to the hotel's outlook, for example the little bunny statues you can find next to your feet at their lunch and drinks bar or the Snow White apples on the Rubaciori restaurant matched to the heart shaped chairs. Quite impressive. So we only stayed for one night, which was extremely short and we had to rush like crazy to be sure to do and see all we wanted to. So after making a couple of pictures at the hotel James and I went out in Milan's town center for a little shopping and gelato time (ice cream in Italy is like nowhere else, believe me). Then as we had a dinner included in our weekend4two pack we came back and I simply switched for some highheels, adjusted my pony tail and was ready to rock the evening. Also another great news, I have started a little collaboration with Hermès, thanks to the lovely Yvonne I had the chance to take with me in Milan some Hermès jewerly and two beautiful bags which you were able to see in my goodies post. If you guys want to live the same experience as we did you can check out the Chateau Monfort offer on weekend4two by clicking here, or simply enjoy discovering the pictures!

A stuffy, overcrowded cell. At times, two or three men to a single bunk. Lockdown for 23 out of 24 hours.
Is this what awaits South Africa's Oscar Pistorius if he is not released on bail while he awaits trial for the murder of his girlfriend?
Some of South Africa's prisons are better than others.
But whichever one might house Pistorius, there's no question that conditions would be a far cry from those in his $560,000 home in the luxury Silverwoods Estate, on the outskirts of Pretoria.
South African prisons are frequently overcrowded, putting a strain on sanitation, ventilation and medical care, according to Nooshin Erfani-Ghadimi, project coordinator for the Johannesburg-based Wits Justice Project , a civil society group.
The overcrowding means three men may share a single cell, or communal cells for 40 people are jammed with double the number they were intended to hold, with men sleeping in double or triple bunks, she said.
"We heard of one person who for the first year in remand detention slept on the floor and then 'graduated' to a bunk," she said. Remand is the term used for pretrial custody.
Many inmates are kept locked up for 23 hours a day, with only an hour outside their cell. Some prisons go into lockdown as early as 3 or 4 p.m., leaving prisoners cooped up for 12 hours or more at a stretch.
"It's not a pretty picture," Erfani-Ghadimi said.
Overcrowding is a particular problem in remand prisons, where it runs at just over 200%, she said, citing figures from the Department of Correctional Services. Overall, overcrowding in prisons stands at about 133%.
And Pretoria Central Prison, perhaps the most likely destination for Pistorius if he doesn't get bail, "doesn't have a very good reputation," Erfani-Ghadimi said.
Special treatment?
The track star's high-profile case is likely to thrust South Africa's criminal justice system under the spotlight.
Questions have already been asked about why Pistorius, a gold medal-winning Paralympian, is being detained in a holding cell at the Brooklyn Police Station -- and not at Central Prison or Newlock, where other defendants awaiting trial are kept.
"If there is some special circumstance that permits this, authorities must share this with the public as they are setting a bad precedent," the women's branch of South Africa's ruling party said in a prepared statement. "All should be treated equally before the law no matter your standing in society."
Pistorius is getting special treatment, the African National Congress Women's League said, adding that his family can visit him outside visiting hours -- unlike relatives of other inmates.
"If Pistorius is denied bail, he must be moved to a proper prison facility with others accused of similar crimes," the statement said. "A strong message must be sent out that wealth and celebrity cannot give you an advantage over the law."
The 26-year-old has rejected the murder allegation "in the strongest terms," his agent said in a statement.
Pistorius' lawyers requested Brooklyn last week so that they could have access to their client over the weekend, following his arrest Thursday. The state did not object.
The case of Shrien Dewani, a British man accused of hiring hitmen to kill his wife on their South African honeymoon, cast the country's criminal justice system in an unflattering light. His lawyers argued last year that his extradition would breach his human rights under European law because he risked being attacked by other inmates in South African prisons.
While British High Court judges dismissed that part of Dewani's argument, concerns about potential torture and abuse in detention are warranted, Erfani-Ghadimi said.
South Africa is a signatory to the U.N. Convention on Torture, but it has yet to ratify it, so such abuses have not been criminalized.
"A legacy of apartheid is that prison cells are still unfortunately a place where prisoners can be abused," Erfani-Ghadimi said.
Amnesty International's Annual Report 2012, which looked at human rights around the world, also said that a draft law to make torture a criminal offense had not been presented in South Africa's parliament by the end of the year.

"The PARTICIPATE program has grown in size and substance since its creation in fall 2008," said Brian Browne '93C, '97G, Assistant Vice President for Government Relations, who joined the celebration at the D'Angelo Center. Browne coordinated this year's program, which began on September 17 when the University hosted Constitution Day debates at both its Queens and Staten Island campuses. "I was thrilled to see so much student interest in watching and engaging in this debate," said Greg Mitchell '10C, President of the College Republicans. Erin Kennedy '09C, President of the College Democrats, emphasized the importance of campus debates.

About Cruise Critic Star Ratings
If you were to design the ideal new luxury ship from scratch, it might look a lot like Seabourn Odyssey, though not necessarily from the outside. Cruise ships these days are more chubby than sleek, what with the need for big balcony cabins and more interior space for expanded spas, entertainment, and dining.
Inside, however, the classically elegant Seabourn Odyssey shines. Size matters. The cruise line's first three highly-rated luxury ships, designed some 20 years ago, are undoubtedly intimate, carrying slightly more than 200 passengers each -- but space for contemporary features, from private balconies to expansive sun decks and spas, is more limited. At 450 passengers, Seabourn Odyssey, like sister ships Sojourn (2010) and Quest (2011), offers three times as much space.
Having sailed on Seabourn's original trio, I wondered: Is Odyssey's design a clear improvement over the older ships? On a recent autumn voyage from Athens to Venice, I compared and contrasted.
First impressions? My ideal luxury ship is small enough so I don't feel overwhelmed and can get around quickly and easily (on Odyssey -- check), with public areas and dining rooms large enough not to be crowded (check). It's also intimate with the atmosphere of a private club, where service is special and someone anticipates my needs (check).
I want a roomy cabin with a private balcony, a bathtub and a walk-in closet (check), plus plenty of seating sprinkled about the ship so there's always a free place to plop (check).
There's a spacious and comfortable spa, never too busy (check); diverse evening entertainment so each night I could choose from, for instance, a show, an upbeat band for dancing or soft piano music (check); a low-key, daytime meeting place for coffee and pastries (check); a library and computers (check); and a comfortable, casual dining area for daytime meals with outside tables, as well as elegant choices for dinner, including romantic and in-suite balcony room service (check).
My ideal cruise has two other requirements: In addition to opportunities to relax, I want to sail with a group of fellow passengers with the intellectual and physical energy that usually accompanies a variety of ages (check); and I would prefer to enjoy the whole shebang in an environment where nobody is required to don a tie or put on a gown (check).
My feeling is that Odyssey is well-sized to task. I like the ship better than the older ones, both for the style, which seems less formal, and for the private verandahs, which are missed on the three earlier ships, despite the addition of French doors (essentially picture windows that open out without a balcony to step on) to some cabins.
Still, the ship may not appeal as much to Seabourn veterans who prize the intimacy of the line's smaller, older vessels. Other Seabourn veterans told me that, while they liked the additions Odyssey had the space to offer, they still preferred the more intimate vessels.
Their view of reality reminded me of one of my father's favorite sayings, back when I was growing up and working for him in the family hardware store in Ohio. Customers, my dad said, sometimes want to put ten pounds of nails in a five-pound bag.
Well, cruisers needed a bigger bag, and on Odyssey, I believe Seabourn got it right.
The Restaurant is the ship's main dining room venue, and it's an open-seating, choose-your-tablemates eatery. For me, the chic Restaurant was a joy each evening, without rush or crowd. My food, at half a dozen different tables with varying waiters, was served with style and efficiency. I don't remember a single conversation being interrupted by a waiter. I don't even remember the waiters, which is fine by me.
Standouts in the Restaurant included pan-fried Dorado, which the chef had bought the day before in the fish market on Corfu island, Greece; a foie gras appetizer with roasted apples and caramelized honey; sauteed prawns Saltimbocca; and the chef's dinner of curried cauliflower, cilantro shrimp tortellini, monkfish and lobster risotto; and mango creme brulee.
The Restaurant is open 8 to 9 a.m. for breakfast, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. for lunch and 7:30 to 9 p.m. for dinner.
Restaurant 2 is Seabourn's alternative venue, and it specializes in daring, seven-course tasting menus. The ambience is sleek and sexy, with red and black Asian-inspired decor and low lights.
Restaurant 2 is not the sort of place for passengers who lack a spirit of adventure in their eating. We ate tapas-sized portions of seared tuna with watermelon, salmon with root vegetables, lime duck with bok choy and chili balls, spiced halibut with foie gras and pineapple, hanger steak with poached tomatoes, and zabaglione custard with apricots, followed by white chocolate cheesecake that was almost anticlimactic for me, but perfectly enjoyable.
The menu changes each week in a seven-week rotation, so passengers on the ship for more a week will see a new menu.
The biggest challenge Restaurant 2 presents is getting a table. It seats only 50 passengers per night, at tables for six and two. It's easier to get a reservation if you agree to join a six-top.
Restaurant 2 is open nightly from 7 to 9 p.m.
The Colonnade is the ship's superb casual restaurant, offering both buffet and waiter-service options. It became my home for breakfast and lunch. It has tables inside and out, along the aft end and starboard side. The alfresco tables are the loveliest places to eat on the ship. Just inside the door is a series of high tables, designed for meal mingling, especially among single passengers.
There's plenty of fresh, healthy food -- such as fruits, antipasto, salads and plenty of comfort dishes -- on the buffet, and each day, the kitchen cooks to order from a special menu. There's also an anytime menu so that you can order various staples. Service was excellent, with waiters ready to carry dishes to the table, fetch an iced tea or glass of wine, or take a special order.
In the evenings, the Colonnade is transformed into a bistro-style restaurant with the addition of tablecloths and a waiter-only scenario. Menus are based on themes. One night, the Colonnade is an Italian bistro, the next night Mediterranean, the next French.
The Colonnade is open 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. for breakfast, noon to 2 p.m. for lunch, and 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. for dinner.
The Patio Grill, next to the pool on Deck 8, is the most casual venue onboard, with tables that are clustered around the main pool. Breakfast is continental fare; for lunch, there are burgers, hot dogs, salads and pizza. In good weather, the Patio Grill may be open for dinner, offering steaks, chops, shrimp and pizza amidst quite a country club-like social ambience.
The grill is open for lunch from 1 to 4 p.m. and for dinner from 7:30. to 9 p.m.
Early risers will find continental breakfast fare in the Observation Bar on Deck 10 from 6:15 to 8 a.m. and a full range of pastries and special coffees at Seabourn Square from 6:15 a.m. until closing at 6 p.m.
Tea is served daily between 4 and 5 p.m. in the Observation Bar, with piano music and a range of goodies. Tea selections include Himalayan Peak, Darjeeling Organic, Mandarin Rose Petal, Bleu Peacock Oolong and tisanes, such as Ginger Twist and African Amber.
Superb room service is available 24 hours a day -- at 3 a.m., for instance, you might order a Caesar salad, baked salmon, sauteed spinach, and a cheese plate. The room-service menu doesn't vary much; you can order hot breakfasts and a range of staples, such as steaks, chicken, burgers and surprisingly good pizza. During dinner, you can order off the Restaurant's menu, and the food is served course by course.
As Seabourn is one of cruising's more inclusive lines, most beverages, from cappuccino and house wines to martinis and soda, are complimentary. Plus, stewardesses will stock each cabin with two complimentary bottles of liquor. (You choose from a menu.) If you want a special wine or after-dinner drink, waiters and bartenders will add it to your tab.
Public Rooms
Odyssey's size (well, relative size, since we're comparing it with Seabourn's smaller ships and not cruising's mega-sized vessels) is deceptive, because interiors and deck spaces are designed to feel intimate and sociable. And yet, you might spend a week on this ship and never get around to exploring it all, as there are plenty of nooks and crannies that make perfect reading or chatting spots. I'm thinking of the fantastic hideaways around the whirlpool at the bow on Deck 6, the pool area at the aft end on Deck 5, the small sitting area on Deck 10 overlooking the main pool, and the Sun Terrace on Deck 11. There's also a lovely deck area, with wicker couches and dining tables, just off Seabourn Square.
Decor is tasteful throughout the ship, which has a contemporary feel -- from the sweeping Observation Bar on Deck 10 to the Grand Salon showroom on Deck 6 and The Club (with outdoor terrace), popular for dancing on Deck 5.
Seabourn Square on Deck 7, new to Odyssey, was a terrific idea, as it replaces the traditional reception area with a warm and comfortable meeting place for coffee, pastries, library books and computer use; it also houses a quiet space for ship concierges. I appreciated using Seabourn Square to connect with local tourism people who came aboard ship and were available, with maps and excursion ideas, for at least an hour after the ship pulled into ports. This was a helpful service for passengers who were not signed up for shore excursions and wanted to roam about on their own.
What the earlier three sisters of Seabourn -- Spirit, Pride and Legend -- lack is what Odyssey flaunts: 197 of 225 cabins have private balconies.
Seabourn calls all 225 of its cabins suites because each has sleeping and sitting areas. (But a heads-up: Standard suites are not designed as separate rooms.) The living rooms, complete with flat-screen televisions, couches and tables, are divided from the sleeping areas via heavy, silk curtains.
To get to a full suite, meaning that the bed is in a separate room, you would have to upgrade to the Penthouse Suite (see below) or higher.
All cabins are roomy. Seabourn Suites, the only cabins without balconies, and standard Veranda Suites, are both a spacious 300 square feet (though the extra 75 square feet afforded by the verandah makes those accommodations larger).
Each cabin has a walk-in closet with safe and is equipped with an interactive, flat-screen TV with a fantastic variety of music and movie selections (no charge). There's also an iPod dock. A bar (above a writing desk) and a refrigerator (below the desk) are stocked according to guest preferences, coordinated before arrival. I didn't put in a pre-cruise request, but upon boarding, my stewardess quickly inquired about my preferences, and a bottle of Jack Daniels soon appeared in my bar. Oddly, the refrigerator did not keep items particularly cold.
In the standard suites, bathrooms are comfortably large, with double sinks framed in granite and separate baths and showers, though only the shower has a handheld spray. The shower is roomy, with a wide, clear glass door and a big shower head. Amenities include soaps by Hermes and L'Occitane and bath products by Molton Brown. Stewardesses will draw warm, scented baths from the "Pure Pampering" therapeutic bath menu upon request or sprinkle rose petals on the bed at night at no charge.
Veranda Suite balconies, at 65 square feet, each come with two chairs, a dining table just big enough for two and one chaise. (The balcony is too small for loungers.)
Penthouse suites, at 436 square feet, are spacious and work especially well for entertaining. The bedrooms are totally separate from the living areas (sealed off by glass doors), which have dining tables, sectional couches, and comfortable chairs. They've also got powder rooms.
Penthouse bathtubs have whirlpool jets.
There are several other, larger suites, and the two Grand Wintergarden accommodations are the nicest of all. At 1,182 square feet, each of the two-bedroom suites has a vast living room with sectional sofa and huge flat-screen television. There's a dining area (the table can seat six easily) and a wet bar and butler's pantry. The separate master bedroom is equipped with the usual Seabourn tech accouterments (flat-screen television with interactive features and a range of music and movie options, and an iPod dock). The adjoining bathroom is superlative, with a large, glass-walled shower and a round tub with jets and sparkly ceiling lights that's easily big enough for two. It's not even the only tub in the suite; what really makes Wintergarden unique is its glass-walled solarium. The highlight? Its egg-shaped, stand-alone bathtub (draw the Venetian blinds when you're in port!) offers a magnificent soaking experience. Also cozy is a day-bed that's wonderfully comfortable for curling up and watching the world pass by.
Its main balcony is outfitted with wicker-style chaises, and there's a full dining table that seats four. This suite can also be booked as a one-bedroom. (The small second bedroom, with its own balcony, can be accessed through the suite or via the hallway.)
Seven suites -- in the Seabourn, Veranda and Penthouse categories -- are wheelchair accessible. At least two suites on every deck can be connected. (Beware, though: Noise travels easily between these cabins.) Balconies of Veranda Suites on Deck 5 are more enclosed than on other decks and carry a lower price than balcony suites on higher decks.
The only complaint I heard about cabins was that noisy cabin doors could wake the neighbors if slammed, though I never heard a slam the entire week. Each cabin key card comes with instructions on how to close the cabin door, using the key in such a way that the door is fully unlocked as you close it. I tried that, but I discovered that simply closing the door softly seemed sufficient.
Tipping is neither required nor expected.
Seabourn does not encourage children, and there is no facility to cater to them, though there is no policy prohibiting children younger than 18 when accompanied by their parents.
Fitness and Recreation
Odyssey's lovely main pool area is a vast improvement over the line's older trio of ships. The pool, with attendant whirlpools, is graced by wicker-style chaises and loveseats, and as it's ringed by two decks, there's generally plenty of room for all.
There's another small pool on the stern -- it's the quieter of the two -- just off The Club. And a third spot worth checking out is a large whirlpool on Deck 6, all the way forward.
The Spa at Seabourn covers two decks, though the space on Deck 10 is consumed by two private spa villas (each with a pair of treatment beds), an oversized whirlpool tub, double day-bed and wraparound terrace with lounge chairs for private sunbathing. The minimum cost is $500 for half a day. The villas seldom seemed busy. (Perhaps fortuitously, Seabourn limited the private villa concept to just one on Sojourn and Quest, Odyssey's younger siblings, and opened up Deck 10 to more seating).
The spa entrance on Deck 9 leads to a panoramic, sliding-glass wall to the outdoor relaxation area; six treatment rooms; a hydro spa pool; saunas; steam rooms; a fitness studio with Kinesis Wall -- with free Kinesis training on a pulley system to improve balance and strength; and all the usual gym equipment you find on new cruise ships. The cost for a spa pass to the pool and thermal area is $30. Several group classes -- including Kinesis training, yoga and Tai Chi -- are available, and there's no fee. However, you will pay extra for private lessons and sessions with a trainer.
One popular Seabourn trademark that's featured on Odyssey is its water sports marina on Deck 2. Typically open on one day per voyage, weather permitting (and only when the ship is anchored, not docked), it's fantastic. Offered is an array of toys, from a banana boat and kayaks to a most bizarre activity in which you sit in an inner tube and are pulled along by a speedboat to a swimming platform. A heads-up: On my autumn cruise, the cool weather meant the marina was closed.
Fellow Passengers
My cruise, a shoulder-season trip between Athens and Venice, attracted a younger, more outgoing group that stayed awake later, danced more and made the cruise livelier than I'd seen on trips on Seabourn Pride and Spirit. The ship is primarily suited to couples, though solo travelers are also cared for well.
Dress Code
Daytime wear is casual, but what Seabourn considers casual is more upmarket than big-ship dress codes. It's truly a country club-style of dress (loungewear at the pool, rather than shorts and T-shirts, for instance).
After 6 p.m., Seabourn recommends one of three categories for evening attire: formal optional, elegantly casual and resort casual.
Formal optional, typically once every seven days, is for passengers who want to dress more formally. It suggests a tuxedo or dark business suit with tie for men and a cocktail dress or formal apparel for women. Other passengers are asked to wear clothes considered elegantly casual. The typical dress most nights on Seabourn Odyssey is slacks and a jacket over a sweater or collared shirt for men and a dress, or skirt or slacks for women with a sweater or blouse.
Most evenings, passengers have three entertainment sources: piano music before and after dinner in the Observation Bar; dancing in The Club with several alternating singers and the ship band; and a show in the Grand Salon, which may be a Broadway revue or consist of variety acts, a magician, a comedy set or a classical music performance.
On my cruise, The Club tended to be quite lively, as singers took turns with pop and rock until about 11 p.m.
One area that Seabourn could really step up a notch is its daytime offerings. Admittedly, most of Odyssey's itineraries are port intensive and feature minimal time at sea, but the offerings were pretty tired for such a dynamic ship. They included shuffleboard, bridge, trivia, dance class, cooking demonstrations, Wii games, golf putting and occasional lectures focusing on the ship's itinerary or on history, art and culture. Kudos to Seabourn for offering shore excursions, usually one per port, that incorporate recreational activities (cycling, kayaking and the like). Otherwise, its tours are pretty much comparable with those offered by other lines. It does offer concierge-organized services for travelers willing to shell out for unique experiences.

Gangs of thieves hunting for lucrative copper wiring are causing power outages by stealing the metal from live electricity cables.
The Department of Education has been criticised by Children's Ombudsman Emily Logan over enrolment appeals and home tuition after a teenager missed nearly two years of full-time education when up to 30 schools refused him a place.
A nuclear war between India and Pakistan would set off a global famine that could kill two billion people and effectively end human civilisation, a study said.
The first gay marriages in England and Wales can be held from Mar 29 next year, Britain's equalities minister Maria Miller announced last night.
UK demand for Irish renewable energy is not as strong as plans to build hundreds of windfarms across Ireland would suggest.

Munster captains past and present last night warmly welcomed the news that Conor Murray has committed his future to the province until the summer of 2016.
SINGER PAUL CLEARY doesn't have butterflies — yet. But he will. "I'm not a confident performer," say Cleary, frontman of iconic Dublin post-punk trio, The Blades. "The 20 minutes before I go on are particularly nerve-wracking. You can't function properly. You are sitting in the dressing room, not talking. You just want to get out there, on stage."

Explore Undiscovered Food, Fashion & Fun.
Your last DIY attempt resulted in a hole (okay, tunnel) from the bathroom to the bedroom and a local shortage on caulk.
But before you vow to never try anything by yourself again, check out our new series of how-to videos aptly entitled Easy Does It.
First up: Hairstylist Julie Dickson, owner of Fox & Boy salon in NYC, shows us how to trim our own bangs. We know, we know, taking scissors to your mane seems pretty cray cray, but we promise it's easier than it seems, not to mention recession friendly.
As an added bonus, Dickson shows us the perfect way to tame our post-ocean coif in a looks-like-a-professional-did-it kind of way.
So prepare to be called a liar.
To submit questions you'd like us to answer in our next Easy Does It video, e-mail email@example.com. Feel free to ask us anything (anything!).
We like everything to have a little kick to it. So why not our fitness routine? In this video, Andie Hecker of Ballet Bodies in L.A. shows our editor how to tone her thighs and butt with a series of high kicks. Feel free to laugh at her kicks compared to Hecker's.
For more information on Ballet Bodies, go to balletbodies.com.
There's a reason dancers have calves of steel: frequent and constant jumping. In this video, Andie Hecker, founder of Ballet Bodies in L.A., gives our editor the workout of her life — seriously, she had trouble going up and down steps for a week — with petit allegro (the proper term for tiny jumps).
Your fridge is kind of like a graveyard: smelly and riddled with ghosts of meals past.
Resuscitate it (and your well-being) with today's video: a peek into plant-based expert Heather Crosby's fridge.
When not creating healthy recipes for her website, YumUniverse, Crosby can be found planting, sprouting, and engaging in otherwise enviable activities.
What she stores in the old icebox? Plenty of kale and homemade almond milk, to start.
It's incentive enough to change your habits.
So you can R.I.P.

Old Man Winter doesn't care about popularity; he prefers to sit alone at the lunch table.
Aesthetician Joanna Vargas isn't fazed by his cold shoulder (pun intended). In today's Pretty Smart video, she provides five crucial tips for getting rid of and preventing dry, flaky skin.
Use her tried-and-true methods to repair perpetually chapped lips and keep hands from looking twenty years older than the rest of you. She even shares a recipe for an exfoliating sugar scrub you can make in one minute flat.

Family dinner means treasured conversations, valuable teaching moments, and the dulcet glow of togetherness and love.
Too bad you haven't actually experienced it since you wore a scrunchie around your wrist.
Fresh Dish acts as a prep cook, helping you get supper from zero to table in 30 minutes flat — so you can sit down and enjoy your meal like a normal family (circa 1955).
The service features recipes like pork chops with mushroom gravy and orzo and oven-roasted salmon with olives, potatoes, and zucchini. Choose your meal, select the number of servings, and Fresh Dish takes care of the rest. It even hooks up DailyCandy readers who purchase one meal with a free one (use code FRESHDAILY).
Once a week, you receive a package with your dinner kit(s) of pre-prepped ingredients (measured and individually packaged) along with an easy-to-follow recipe. That means no planning, grocery shopping, or defrosting — and more time to hear about the epic playground war.
Your family's fly-by-night meals are history.
DailyCandy readers buy one meal kit and get one free with code FRESHDAILY; go to freshdish.com to learn more. You can also enter to win three months of free meal kits (winner receives two meal kits each month for three months).

You drink green juices and eat kale salads. And then pizza, beer, and Ben & Jerry's take you out in one fell swoop.
For those days when you don't eat like a glowing goddess, you need a little extra nutrition. In this Inside Story, we explore the vitamin cabinet of Whitney Tingle and Danielle DuBoise, founders of Sakara Life organic meal delivery service in New York.
Though the ladies maintain vitamins are best absorbed from food, they still recommend a magnesium supplement to calm you down, a natural anti-inflammatory, and a "life-changing" probiotic. Plus, they share a mouthwash they're newly obsessed with.
Because nobody's perfect.
For more information on Sakara Life, go to sakaralife.com. To learn where to buy these supplements, check out our flipbook. For more help on your resolutions, watch grocery shopping tips from Dr. Frank Lipman and nutritionist Kimberly Snyder's fridge tour.
New Year's Eve is amateur night in the big city.
Which is why we prefer to party with the kids — our kids.
Turn your living room into a family-friendly Times Square with a bright balloon drop. All you need is fishing net (not fishnets), balloons, craft putty, and a crowd of minis who think staying up past 8 p.m. is worth celebrating.
Use the putty to attach the net to the ceiling, fill with the balloons, and when the time is right (whatever time you decide), release the balloons and step back.
This party is about to pop.
Keep the fun going all winter break long with a DIY mask bar and craft center.
There's no place like home for the holidays. Unless it's someone else's massive Manhattan townhouse, replete with a huge Christmas tree and 4-year-old twins singing "Jingle Bells." (Yeah, we'll take that.)
It belongs to Candela designer Gabriela Perezutti. In today's Inside Story, she gives us a tour of the space she shares with husband Austin Hearst and daughters Olivia and Mia.
The house is currently decorated for the season, but evidence of Perezutti's upbringing on a cattle ranch in Uruguay remains. We especially love the black and white photos of her mom on horseback.
They make us happy in a million ways.
For more information on Candela, go to candelanyc.com.
Your daytime look (terry cloth, mostly) doesn't jibe with your nighttime holiday-party-hopping schedule.
Match your mood with a makeup how-to from Arch Apothecary's Betsy Branca. In today's Pretty Smart video (Chicago's first!), she'll take your peepers from sleepy to smoky in mere minutes. It's easy (we promise).
All you need is a brush, liner, shadow, and mascara — items you likely hoard — and a steady hand. So put down the Stoli. You've got prepping to do.
For more information on Arch Apothecary or to buy any of the products mentioned in the video, go to archapothecary.com.
Does life get any better than fried starch?
The answer is no, which is why we asked author and Top Chef judge Gail Simmons to make her mom's latkes for today's In the Kitchen video.
Simmons uses everything you'd expect (shredded potatoes, eggs, oil), but there's a secret ingredient (hint: Marcus Samuelsson also loves it) that'll make you ask, "Why do we make these only at Hanukkah?"
Even if you don't celebrate the Festival of Lights, we recommend mixing a batch immediately, since the gentile editors at our shoot pounded them.
No miracle there.
Want to taste them straight from Simmons's pan? Head to the Latke Sizzle (vodka tastings included), tomorrow at 8:15 p.m., at 92Y, 1395 Lexington Avenue, at 92nd Street (212-415-5500 or 92y.org). Enter code DCANDY at checkout for 20 percent off tickets. For more Hanukkah recipes, decorations, and menorahs, check out our flipbook.
If your skin could talk, it'd ask you to skip the month of December and head straight to January resolutions. (Grinch.)
Introduce your epidermis to Mimi Dakar Berry of the Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic in Beverly Hills (yes, they're daughter/mother). In today's Pretty Smart videos, she shares three DIY concoctions to erase the damage of seven eggnogs in one night.
Start with a clarifying probiotic scrub, follow with a brightening daisy-infused face mask (above), and end with a two-minute depuffing massage. Alone or altogether, these steps make your skin look ten times fresher.
And the best part? They're as easy as (five slices of pecan) pie.
For more information on the Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic, go to sonyadakarskinclinic.com.
Most of us know about taking a daily probiotic for digestion. But how about applying it topically for glowing skin? In this video, Mimi Dakar Berry of Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic shows how to make her tried-and-true face scrub, which rejuvenates your face in less than twenty minutes.
Mom always said don't touch your face. Mimi Dakar Berry is saying you can, so long as you do it strategically. In this video, she has a two-minute facial massage technique that hydrates, depuffs, and fights aging.
Two truths and a lie about New York designer/boutique owner Michele Varian: 1. She's one-third of triplets. 2. She was born on Christmas Day. 3. She's married to Crash Test Dummies lead singer Brad Roberts.
Okay, they're all true. Sue us. Then watch today's Inside Story video, in which we tour Varian's Soho loft.
The vintage-inspired space is filled with knickknacks from her worldly travels, instruments used by her husband to compose, and — the good news — items you can buy from her store.
Every nook is filled with something eye-catching, to the point it almost feels like you're on a movie set (say, Hugo mixed with The Royal Tenenbaums).
But we all know fact is better than fiction.
To shop Varian's store, go to michelevarian.com. For more Inside Stories, check out designer Heidi Merrick's Silver Lake bungalow, actress Mindy Kaling's closet, and designer Rebecca Minkoff's light-filled loft.
Parental responsibility No. 425: teaching your kids that Thanksgiving is more than a long weekend bookended by parades and leftover pumpkin pie.
Get the message across with a gratitude jar. Before the turkey is served, gather your pilgrims and ask them what they're grateful for. Write down each gem on a slip of paper (Mom and Dad, you do it, too) and tuck the notes into a jar.
When setting the table for your fall feast, use the jar as a centerpiece of riches to share with family and friends.
And because not everyone is so fortunate, we're using our bounty to spread the word about Future Fortified. More than 200 million kids don't have diets with enough essential nutrients — and Future Fortified wants to change that.
Join us on Twitter this week (#thankfulforthefuture) and share what you're thankful for.
So we can build a better future for all.
Our friends at Future Fortified have created a message template to help get your family's gratitude jar started. Find out more about their effort to rid the world of malnutrition at futurefortified.org.
It's not hard to make the mental leap from hot rollers to Golden Girl Sophia Petrillo running around in a purple bathrobe.
Heed her age-acquired wisdom: They're better for your hair, simpler to use than a curling iron, and yield just-as-great-if-not-better results when used correctly.
For proof, watch our tutorial with Julie Dickson, founder and head stylist of Fox & Boy salon in New York City. Dickson's easy steps require only two things: rollers (here are the ones we like best) and hair spray.
You'll be so amazed by the volume (easily adjustable with a brush) you may want to call Dickson.
And thank her for being a friend.
Want more of Dickson's tricks? Learn to cut your own bangs, give yourself a salon-quality blowout, or do a messy side bun. For more information on Fox & Boy, go to foxandboy.com.
Don't get us wrong: We love melted butter and gravy mixed with a spoonful of mashed potatoes and toasted marshmallows garnished with a bit of yams as much as the next American.
But this Thanksgiving we have healthier options, thanks to brothers Eli and Max Sussman, New York-based chefs and authors of the recently published This Is a Cookbook.
In today's videos, they show us two easy, inexpensive, no-stretchy-pants-necessary recipes: sauteed kale with almonds and raisins (above) and roasted cauliflower with caramelized onions.
It's possible we ate enough of the vegan-friendly dishes during the shoot to constitute three meals.
But that still beats French's fried onion rings plus or minus the green beans.
This Is a Cookbook is available at amazon.com or itunes.com (iPad version), $13.
So you think cauliflower is broccoli's ugly stepsister? This side dish from brothers Eli and Max Sussman will prove you wrong. The NYC-based chefs and authors of This Is a Cookbook serve the white florets alongside caramelized onions and tahini — and there's no going back.
Before we bring you today's regularly scheduled content, we want to mention our thoughts are with all those affected by Hurricane Sandy. To make a financial donation to help with disaster relief, go to redcross.org.
The appeal of dressing up as Honey Boo Boo tomorrow night is obvious (but you'd have to eat Cheetos the entire time to be realistic).
To get the necessary props, you'd need to elbow through the nightmarish Halloween store crowds and spend a Benjamin on wigs and boas.
Instead we've assembled ten costumes you can make with stuff around the house — from Fifty Shades of Grey and Ermahgerd Gersberms to something we're calling "Gingham Style."
None of them requires you to chug go-go juice (sorry).
But you'll still be the queeeeeeeen.
Check out our videos from Halloweens past to see how to dress up like Shark Week or a Kraft Single (yeah, that's right).
There are celebs, and there are celebs.
In today's video, we meet up with our favorite member of the latter: Uggie, a.k.a. star of The Artist, who takes time out of his busy A-lister schedule to show us how to do everything.
From spicing up your marriage to avoiding your landlord, he's been there, done that. For further proof, check out his eponymous new autobiography (that's right), Uggie.
And to answer your questions: Is he humble despite his millions? Yes. Is he shorter in person? Maybe just a little. Is he really a toddler dressed in a canine costume?
We didn't get that kind of access.
Uggie is available at amazon.com, $10. For more gratuitous animal footage, check out our videos on turning your dog into a painter and giving a canine massage.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-05895 RIN 3150-AI12 NRC-2008-0120 NRC-2010-0194 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Final rule. Effective Date: This final rule is effective on May 20, 2013. Compliance Date: Compliance with this final rule is required on March 19, 2014. 10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 51, 71, and 73 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations to establish security requirements for the use and transport of category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material. The NRC considers these quantities to be risk significant and, therefore, to warrant additional protection. Category 1 and category 2 thresholds are based on the quantities established by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in its Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources, which the NRC endorses. The objective of this final rule is to provide reasonable assurance of preventing the theft or diversion of category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material. The regulations also include security requirements for the transportation of irradiated reactor fuel that weighs 100 grams or less in net weight of irradiated fuel. The final rule affects any licensee that possesses an aggregated category 1 or category 2 quantity of radioactive material, any licensee that transports these materials using ground transportation, and any licensee that transports small quantities of irradiated reactor fuel. The rule also considers a petition for rulemaking (PRM-71-13) submitted by the State of Washington that requested that the NRC adopt the use of global positioning satellite tracking as a national requirement for vehicles transporting highly radioactive mobile or portable radioactive devices.

Bobbi Kristina won't read Cissy Houston's book
Whitney Houston's daughter says book disrespectful
Cissy Houston has opened up about losing her daughter Whitney in a new memoir, but her granddaughter Bobbi Kristina Brown doesn't appear to be happy about it.
On her Twitter account last week, the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown expressed her displeasure about the book, which is called "Remembering Whitney."
Brown, 19, tweeted that she and her reported beau, Nick Gordon, "personally have NOTHING" to do with Cissy Houston's book.
"I ask youplsRESPECT (that)," she added. "Haven't read&won't ... I find it 2B Disrespect2MYMOTHER & me being HERDAUGHTER won't tolerate it."
As reported by USA Today, "Remembering Whitney" is a frank examination of Whitney Houston's life and death from Cissy's perspective.
On her relationship with Bobbi Kristina -- or Krissi, as Cissy calls her -- the 79-year-old told the paper that they don't get to spend a lot of time together.
"We hope and pray for Krissi," Cissy says. "She lives in Atlanta while I'm here in New Jersey, so I don't get to see her that often. And you know how 19-year-olds are -- you call them on the phone, and they don't always pick up. It's difficult. But she knows how much I love her."

Ask A QuestionBat #1 size is 30" or 31". I need a 26" as this child is very small. Bat #2 is a 26". Can I get Bat #1 in 26"?
Unfortunately, the bat packs do not always have every size available. The COMBAT B2 Alloy: B2ALYB1 -10 Youth is a closeout model and we will not be getting any new sizes in.
Does it have the USSSA 1.15 stamp approved for playing little league?
Yes, the COMBAT B2 Alloy: B2ALYB1 -10 Youth does have the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp.
I just got this bat last Tuesday. I was batting at baseball practice and I heard something inside the bat, it sounded like a pebble going throughout the bat. I am just wondering if it is broken?
For your COMBAT B2 Alloy: B2ALYB1 -10 Youth bat normally there should not sound like anything is inside the bat moving around. If yours is doing this there may be a loose piece inside, and that would be a defect.
Product Description
After two long years of development, the COMBAT B2 Alloy is finally ready to hit the field. Since COMBAT has mastered the art of the composite bat, they tried to incorporate many of the same unique design elements in creating the best metal bat on the market. First and foremost, this one-piece design is constructed using COMBAT's TK999 Alloy that blends an array of exotic metal agents to give players a metal bat like they've never experienced before. TK999 along with COMBAT's new Hoop Controlled Technology (HCT) give the B2 Alloy a remarkably soft feel for a one-piece alloy bat. A long barrel design made possible by COMBAT's Tube Forming process, and precisely tuned and heat-treated barrel walls create a bat with a combination of performance and feel that isn't found anywhere else on the field! COMBAT: For Players, By Players! The B2 Alloy is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and USSSA. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
