Because here's the thing with rose wedding bouquets...its pretty difficult to make a bouquet of roses not look its best.

Excellent learning tool!
By Ginny

A great tool to help your child learn. My Grandson is 4 an will be entering Kindergarten soon. He has used this book every day since I purchased it. Loves it. He has learned to count to 20 and knows many of his phonics already. The pen makes it fun and he loves listening to the sounds.

LeapReader Taught Our 3 Yr Old Alphabet
By TicoandTina
from Wellman, IA
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
As a long-time lover of LeapFrog products, our family was excited to have the chance to review the LeapReader!Big Pros:- It really is a big improvement over the Tag pen, which we have two of - the ability to recharge the Reader directly is HUGE for a family that already uses way too many batteries =)- Another favorite new feature is the larger storage capacity for stories and songs.- I really love that the pen teaches writing and correct stroke order - our daughter has had a problem with that.Possible Cons:- I haven't been able to test this out for myself but I've heard that files for the newer books are larger than the old Tag books, which cuts down on the implied benefit of more space on the LeapReader.- I also know that not all Tag books are compatible with the LeapReader, so that could be disappointing.- I really wish that the pen would write on regular paper because the special paper gets used up quite fast - I know that a lot of other parents appreciate that it doesn't write on other surfaces, though =)All in all, the kids have found the pen so easy to use and we are really happy with the upgrade. In fact, my husband had been working with our 3 yr old to learn his letters but he only knew a few of them. After a couple of days just playing with the LeapReader and the alphabet book that comes with the system, we discovered that our son had learned almost all of the other letters by himself! If that doesn't show the value of the LeapReader, I don't know what does LOL.*we received this product free for our honest review - all of the opinions are our own*
Great for Reading and Penmanship
By marta28
from Woodbury, MN
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
My son is 6 going into the first grade this fall and this has been especially perfect during the summer when its so easy to forget everything you had learned during the school year. Personally, I like how I don't necessarily need to take a lot of time to sit down and work with him on it because the directions are very clear and easy to follow. Plus, it's fun which sitting with mom and a piece of paper and a pencil probably wouldn't be. I also like how the leap reader will read audio books. My son will often listen to a story as he's going to sleep which is just a great added benefit or he will listen to the music.It's similar to the Tag, but much more advanced because of the writing integration. His penmanship was something that definitely needed to be improved and I feel as though by practicing and having the automatic feedback from the leapreader he's improving.Definitely recommend!
Another Great Learning Tool From LeapFro
By Amy @ PK
from Upper Peninsula, MI
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
The LeapReader is a great addition to the learning tools in our house. I love the LeapFrog philosophy of learning through fun and games - it is almost sneaky in how much kids pick up.Learn to Read: The LeapReader functions largely like the Tag Reader when using books from that collection. You can play games on the pages of the books, sound out words, spell words, answer comprehension questions, and listen to the book as a whole or page by page.Learn to Write: I have never used Mr. Pencil, so this is a first in our house. I love the paper that is included for kids to practice writing letters. The LeapReader actually make marks on that special paper, but not on the books or anything else, almost like magic! You have to be careful that you do not use the paper stacked on top of each other otherwise the marks made on the top page transfers through to the pages underneath. I am looking forward to holding short "Pre-School Mornings" with my 4 year-old when school schedules start again for the big kids. Of course, as I was looking through the material, the almost second grader wanted to try out the writing pages claiming she needs the practice. The Learn To Write Letters workbook incorporates a story with different motions of writing letters working though the simpler straight-line skills, to the zigzag and on to the squiggly motions. The skill progression is perfect for young children to learn proper technique and avoid frustration in the process.Learn Through Listening: The best feature of the LeapReader is the ability to download up to 100 audio books, music, and trivia games from the LeapReader Library (some titles not available until the end of 2013). Included with the review material was the Magic Tree House Book #1: Dinosaurs Before Dark by Mary Pope Osborne. As we happen to have the book in our house, my kids are currently occupied listening to Mary Pope Osborne read her book to them on this foggy, cool summer day (awesome)! The learning songs have a fun beat that parents will tolerate and kids will learn from – punctuation and blends were two song topics that stuck in my mind. The trivia facts appeal to any person interested in the subjects - I look forward to browsing the Leap Reader library.
Learning Made Fun
By Aleks (BusyWorkingMama)
from Atlanta, GA
About Me First Time Parent
With a daughter starting Kindergarten next month, learning to read and write has been a focus in our house for this past year or so. We like to supplement school work at home and find ways to make learning fun during the school year and summer months. Recently we had the opportunity to review LeapReader, the new learn to read and write gadget from LeapFrog. The LeapReader is geared towards kids ages 4 to 8. My 5 year old took to it quickly and enjoyed exploring the different functions the LeapReader had to offer.The LeapReader kept my 5 year old interested and engaged. We have been practicing reading this summer, but focusing as much on writing. As a result, I was glad to see the Learning Paper writing sheets that were included with the LeapReader. I also liked the trivia challenge and the music album. All in all, the LeapReader has some great features for kids! I also like that it comes in green or pink.We have previously used the Tag reading system, and the LeapReader works with select Tag books, too, though not all of them.We received this product to review free of charge. My opinions are my own.
Every Child Should Have One!

About Me Parent of One Child, Stay At Home Parent
As a family who already owns a few of the LeapFrog family of products, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the LeapReader Reading and Writing System. This is a perfect learning toy for my four-year-old son. He loves it and is excited to use it, he often chooses this over screen time. (YAY!)I love that the device is rechargeable via USB port, instead of using batteries. This cuts down on the expense of batteries, saving money is so important.We are practicing writing letters and LeapFrog included amazing paper with the unit. There is a guide directing you on how to properly draw the letters and the unit talks you through it. The paper is "magic" in that the writing doesn't show up on other surfaces. No mess and no worrying about cleaning up writing off of other surfaces.The device is a bit bulky for my son to hold in his small hands, but I realize that it is designed for ages 4-8; there is plenty of room to grow with this device.I'd recommend this to any parent, grandparent, or friend wanting to buy a quality educational toy for a child aged 4 -8!Disclosure: I received a complimentary LeapReader for review purposes. All statements and opinions are my own.

MyEclipse: Maven support and subscriptions

Maven support and subscriptions
I have been using MyEclipse as a professional for many years now so I don't see why I should have to pay extra for the privilege of using maven in MyEclipse when I can using standard eclipse for free.
I was happy paying the subscription for all the extra's that come with MyEclipse but I do not understand why genuitec have introduced a multi tiered subscriptions - surely we are all using MyEclipse "professionally" - who does this stuff for fun!
- Mar 02, 2010 - 11:07 PM
Post subject:
RE: Maven support and subscriptions
First, thanks for your support over the years! However, it appears that there's a bit of a misunderstanding here as we don't charge you to use plain Maven in MyEclipse at all. What we provide within MyEclipse is a highly integrated version of Maven support, based on an enhanced version of m2eclipse, that we call Maven4MyEclipse. Our implementation has been enhanced to work well with MyEclipse project types and contains numerous other enhancements and simplifications to m2eclipse that are useful for MyEclipse users. It's for these enhancements that we're charging for as part of our Professional edition.
However, if you'd like to simply use "plain" m2eclipse, with a MyEclipse Standard subscription you can certainly do that easily. Just open the MyEclipse dashboard and select that you'd like to uninstall Maven4MyEclipse and install m2eclipse from the catalog instead. When it reboots you'll have MyEclipse Standard plus plain Maven support for no additional charge.
As for why we have different versions of the product, they're simply because adding new features costs us time and money and we don't want all our users to pay for things that might not be of value to them. So, we break features up basically like this:
MyEclipse Standard: All Java EE tools and servers
MyEclipse Professional: Standard + non-Java EE stuff that's really useful in many development scenarios
MyEclipse Blue: Professional + tons of WebSphere-specific add-ons.
Hope that helps clear things up a bit and keeps you as a happy MyEclipse user.

It's an affliction I've suffered for some time now. Historically, vampires are the most over-used cinema monsters, but lately it has only gotten worse. They're everywhere now.
Between Twilight, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries, my tolerance for the romanticizing of evil, bloodsucking, feral, scary bastards has taken a bombardment of pop culture's ongoing fascination.
So, it's probably to Cirque Du Freak's benefit that it isn't much of a vampire movie. That'll have to wait for the sequel.
Clearly aiming for Harry Potter territory, Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant is a conglomeration of the first three books of The Saga of Darren Shan, a series of teen-lit vampire novels written, unsurprisingly enough, by Darren Shan. (Full disclosure: I've read none of them.)
The Darren Shan of the film (Chris Massoglia) is a nerdy but generally well-adjusted high school kid who pals around with his troublemaker best friend Steve (Josh Hutcherson). Darren recoils at the college/marriage/family/life-plan his parents have mapped out for him. Steve, however, has been completely alienated by his absent father and alcoholic mother and takes refuge in reading about vampires--when he's not convincing Darren to help him commit random acts of vandalism.
When a flyer for a travelling sideshow called Cirque Du Freak falls into their possession, Darren defies a grounding to sneak out with Steve and see the show. There, they are greeted by the cadaverous Mr. Tall (a scene-stealing Ken Watanabe) and are treated to a cornucopia of sideshow attractions, from werewolves to a Snake Boy with rock-star dreams and culminating in Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly), a Willy Wonka-esque magician who Steve recognizes as a Vampire.
Steve confronts Crepsley after the show--unknowingly witnessed by Darren--in a bid to have Crepsley turn him into a vampire. When Crepsley refuses, Steve swears an oath of vengeance.
Everything that follows is an origin story made to beget a new franchise, and you are either a newbie or a fan. Aptly directed by Paul Weitz (American Pie) from a script he co-wrote with Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential), Cirque Du Freak wears a certain pedigree on its sleeve if only to get the attention of people who have never heard of the books.
Being an origin story for the uninitiated, the film carefully lays out its rules about everything. Vampires are actually fairly benign creatures who drink human blood in the most non-invasive way possible, but there's a splinter faction, the Vampaneze, who are of a much more murderous frame of mind. They live under a shaky truce, which is enforced by the unseen Vampire Council, with the vampires. Even though the vampires would rather keep a low profile, there are those amongst them that are looking for a war. In the middle of it all is Mr. Tiny (Michael Cerveris), a bloated, Sydney Greenstreet type who seems more than a little anxious to recruit Darren for that war after he becomes Crepsley's assistant.
There's nothing inherently bad about Cirque Du Freak. It's actually a playful piece of work that is too good-natured about itself to genuinely dislike. Some of the quirky casting goes a long way.
As Crepsley, John C. Reilly sinks into the role in a way not expected bringing a strange gravitas, even as he's asked to be somewhat of a Willy Wonka knock off. He gamely plays it up with an inherent comedic timing that doesn't overpower the character.
An extended cameo by Willem Dafoe (Wild at Heart) as Gavner Purl, a vampire who wants Crepsley to take up his old mantle as General and go to war with the Vampaneze, is delightfully weird as only Dafoe can be.
Salma Hayek gives a bodice-busting turn as Madame Truska, the Cirque's resident Bearded Lady and Crepsley's love interest. Hayek plays her with a cheekiness that reminds you that this is somewhat a kid's movie, despite her sexy curves. She's clearly having fun with that while cashing a check.
As the protagonist of the piece, Darren Shan, Chris Massogila turns in a convincing, if unremarkable, performance. If this franchise takes off, his nascent skills will develop, not unlike Daniel Radcliffe's. I'm sure that's the plan.
That plan is also Cirque Du Freak's biggest problem. Why is it that films like this come with the promise of a trilogy, by default? It introduces you to the world, but only resolves the most fundamental conflicts. That world is well thought out and looks dense, detailed by a bevy of high dollar special FX (some of them very practical and effective, some just very cheesy CGI). It also has Burton-esque art design and visual creativity to spare, despite that, Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant hamstrings itself with its own ambition to be nothing more than a 108-minute teaser for movies that will be green lit if this one does well.
Still, I'd be lying if I said it didn't amuse me a bit.
Taking Flight
Prestige picture season is nearly upon us. If you need proof, look no further than Amelia, a film with Oscar bait written all over it. Let's go down the list, shall we?
An inspiring story of a woman driven by obsession who goes on to make an indelible mark on the world? Check. A period piece steeped in the Americana of a romanticized time in our history? Check. A-List cast led by statuette-magnet Hillary Swank portraying the film's namesake? Not to mention her emotional and tragic ending that anyone who made it out of middle school has read about? Check and check. The only thing Amelia is missing is an endearing kid with a speech impediment.
Written for the screen by Ronald Bass and Anna Hamilton Phelan (from a pair of books by Susan Butler and Mary S. Lovell) and directed by Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding), Amelia tells the story of Amelia Earhart (Hillary Swank). Earhart was the first woman to complete a solo transatlantic flight, and damn near the first to circumnavigate the planet by airplane or any other means.
Almost completely ignoring her earlier life, the film tells Earhart's story in a series of long flashbacks intercut into the highlights of her final voyage. We see her meet and fall in love with future husband and business partner George Putnam (Richard Gere) and do the same with her paramour Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor).
We see her first solo transatlantic flight and other high altitude moments of her life, both literally and figuratively. The resulting film, though, often feels as if the writers adapted Amelia Earhart's Wikipedia entry instead of two biographical novels. The cut and paste script cherry picks the most widely known elements of Earhart's life but really doesn't do much to give her depth outside of those Hallmark moments. The lazy script is complemented by Mira Nair's choppy direction. There were glaringly edited scenes and conspicuous character disappearances that led me to believe a good chunk of Amelia hit the cutting room floor, which makes sense. Probably an attempt to pick up the pace a little, but the film drags rather heavily, particularly in the overlong finale.
Nair knows how to get some gorgeous shots, and she does capture a couple of beautiful flight sequences on film. Despite that, there were precious few moments when I felt like the film was close to hitting on all cylinders.
At its lowest ebbs Amelia is sometimes fairly boring. While it feels like homage to a more vintage style of a big cinematic, Hollywood biography, the mere act of going for that look doesn't make the obtuse script any more exciting.
It's a shame too, because there was some good work being done here. The performances by Hillary Swank, Richard Gere and Ewan McGregor are fine across the board, though honestly none of them are really nomination-worthy.
Gere and Swank in particular have an easy chemistry, and they all have on-screen charisma to burn, making it fairly easy to get sucked into their performances even when the film itself has you counting the reel changes.
Swank affects an on-again off-again, steeped Midwestern accent that seemed unnecessary given the detailed make-up work that makes her look the part (though in reality, Earhart looked more like Mia Farrow). Swank captures the character's essence and really doesn't need to resort to mimicry to own the role.
Gere just turns up his natural roguish charm and lets that do most of the work. George Putnam is a character with layers though, and Gere finds them--even when they aren't on the page. Christopher Eccleston turns in a typically genuine performance as Fred Noonan, the navigator on Earhart's final flight; a performance made more impressive by his limited screen time. Eliciting good performances should be considered one of the things Mira Nair got right with Amelia, but given the talent she had to work with, that really shouldn't have been difficult.
Amelia is a pretty film to look at. It certainly looks at home on the silver screen. Stuart Dryburgh's rich cinematography imparts golden warmth to the proceedings, and his painterly compositions go a long way in bringing the period art decoration to life, as well as the vastness of the big blue yonder. But that and the performances alone aren't enough to lift the pedestrian script off the ground.
Make no mistake, the story of Amelia Earhart is an amazing and inspiring one. One that is deserving of more than a paint-by-the-numbers film that comes off as somewhat of a shameless Oscar grab. I hope it is not the last time someone takes a stab at this material because there is certainly a great film in there that, in more imaginative hands, might turn out to be the film I wanted Amelia to be.

Watertown— The American Tax Relief Act of 2012 has extended until December 31, 2013. The relief act enables certain businesses, tax incentives and individual residents the opportunity to partake in these incentives by taking an economically depressed census that is otherwise known as "empowerment zones."
New York's 21st District, Congressman Bill Owens highlighted this past Tuesday, how the tax relief act will benefit small businesses:
"There is work ahead to reduce federal spending and get our fiscal house in order, but even as this process plays out we must ensure small businesses have every opportunity to thrive and create jobs," said Owens. "I remain confident we can achieve this in the year ahead if we work in a bipartisan spirit and keep the needs of small business owners in mind as we proceed. Extending certain small business tax relief as part of the fiscal cliff deal was a good first step."
H.R. 8, the American Taxpayer Relief Act, extended various tax credits and other policies intended to support small businesses activities, including family farms. These include:
· Extension of the popular "New Market Tax Credit" for an additional two years. The program was established in 2000 to spur increased investment into operating businesses and real estate projects, typically in small communities like those in Upstate New York.
· A 100 percent exemption on Qualified Small Business Stock through 2013. This provision applies retroactively to investments made in 2012, creating additional incentive for outside investment in startup businesses in need of capital.
· Extension of 50 percent "bonus" depreciation for businesses on qualified capital assets placed in service before January 1, 2014.
· For S-Corporations, an extension of the five-year built-in gains holding period for tax years beginning in 2012 and 2013. The bill also extends certain basis adjustments regarding stocks of S-Corporations to incentivize charitable contributions.
Congressman Owens also reaffirmed his commitment to reducing unnecessary federal mandates that hamper small businesses, calling on local business leaders to stay in touch with their elected officials.
"As Congress looks to cut its own costs in the months ahead, businesses should stay in touch to let us know when government overreach is hampering growth," said Owens. "Every dollar businesses spend on mandates and paperwork is a dollar that doesn't go to help create jobs. If I can help reduce these burdens or work with agencies to find solutions, I'm eager to do so."
Congressman Owens keeps and open form on his Congressional website where businesses and individuals can suggest federal regulations that are overly burdensome or costly so the Congressman address the issue. In the 112th Congress, Owens introduced legislation passed in the House and Senate that would eliminate a mandate levied against auto dealerships across the country.

Two leaders at risk after byelection 0
The best advice I have for Tim Hudak is this: Watch out for the night of the long knives.
It's not so much the Progressive Conservative leader's failure to win last October's election. And he can almost be forgiven for losing long-time Kitchener-Waterloo MPP Elizabeth Witmer. Losing her seat Thursday is more problematic, but it could be managed.
What has sealed his fate as someone who'll never win government was his astounding reaction to Thursday's votes.
In a statement the night of the byelection losses, Hudak said, in part: "Tonight's result has shown that public-sector unions from across Ontario were provided with the perfect opportunity to concentrate their resources and lash out against the wage freeze we've been consistently pushing. They bought Kitchener-Waterloo and now we can expect the rest of Ontario taxpayers to pay for it as the NDP cut more budget deals to keep the Liberals in power."
He went on to say that Premier Dalton McGuinty "rolled the dice with an expensive appointment to trigger a byelection to try and gain his coveted majority." In a bizarre news conference Friday morning, Hudak maintained the combative tone, constantly referring to the way "union bosses" had targeted K-W, rolling in massive amounts of volunteers to work for the NDP. Look, I understand his frustration. But this isn't what you say after a byelection defeat.
It's insulting to voters in K-W to suggest they've been "bought." It shows a petulance people don't like. Hudak should have taken the high road. He should have said voters have sent him a message and that he'll study what they said and respond to their concerns.
Voters like to elect people who are magnanimous, who are gracious in victory — and defeat.
We want to be represented by statesmen, not by mealy mouthed whiners. And that's how Hudak's coming across — blaming everyone for the byelection defeat except himself.
There's no doubt Hudak was up against it in the byelection. Both the Liberals and the NDP poured vast amounts of resources into K-W. But that's what politics is all about.
Instead of complaining about the strength of the other parties, Hudak should try galvanizing his own supporters and getting them behind him — preferably not with knives in hand.
Hudak's biggest problem now isn't from the Liberals or NDP, it's from his own party. Before the byelection, he was starting to look and sound better than he did during the last election. This bizarre response to the byelection will set him back and increase the grumbling and rumblings within the Tory ranks.
There are plenty of candidates for his job. Some are in the ranks of his own provincial MPPs. There are even more on Prime Minister Stephen Harper's backbenches in Ottawa.
Even Coun. Doug Ford, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's brother, has speculated about taking a run at the job. Hudak's problems have only started. His lacklustre showing will make it difficult for him to raise money. If the cash dries up, he'll have a big problem financing an election campaign that could come at any time.
I suspect there will be a vote soon.
McGuinty has realized that voters aren't stupid. They won't be conned into giving him a majority. He wants out and his party needs to rejuvenate. There are several ways the premier could pull the plug: He could tell the lieutenant-governor that this minority government is unmanageable and ask him to pull the plug. Or he could set up a confidence vote he knows he'll lose.
One way or another, my guess is that by this time next year, we'll have two new party leaders.
Do you think Tim Hudak is the right person to lead the PC party in the next provincial election?

CEO's guide to bespoke suitsIf you have been eyeing dress shirts from big-name brands such as Ermenegildo Zegna, Giorgio Armani and Dolce & Gabbana that cost at least half a million won, you are recommended to think twice because alternatives at lower prices that are still designed, tailored and made just for you are available in Seoul. As business attire or for special occasions, almost every man needs at least one high-quality suit. What most guys do, however, is rush into high-end label shops and pick a ready-to-wear suit. Of course, Zegna and Armani will satisfy your desire to look stylish. But the point is that their suits aren't made just for you. If you are obsessed with details from stitches to shirring on shirts, a bespoke service is the right choice for you. And a wide range of bespoke services mean that your taste is guaranteed to be catered to. Steady-state Steady-state is all about the details on dress shirts. "Design for women's apparel is relatively simple with a single dominant criterion of whether or not it is pretty. It depends mainly on color, fabric and silhouette of clothing," says Ahn Eun-jin, a creative director and owner of Steady-state. "In the case of men's clothing, however, there is an obvious limitation for design. That is why details are so important." From the number of stitches on an inch of fabric to the shape of threads sewed on a button, customers can order almost everything that one can imagine. It takes over 40 minutes for Steady-state to take an order for a shirt. Ahn asks customers as many questions as possible including the brands of shirts they usually wear and the jackets that he is going to match with the shirts in order to get to know the customer's preferences. Ahn believes that in order to make a shirt that perfectly matches a customer, she has to know as much as possible about their taste and favored styles. "I mostly care about where and on which occasion the customer is going to wear the shirts. How well the colors and patterns of fabrics and shapes of the collars complement a customer's face is also important," Ahn said. It's often difficult for women to design menswear, especially suits, because they have to depend on their imagination. That's the reason why there are no world-famous female designers of men's suits. "Designing shirts is a different matter," Ahn says. "Maria Santangelo and Anna Matuozzo, the famous shirts designers based on Italy, are my role models. I see the possibilities that I might grow to become just like them many years later, when it comes to designing shirts." Ahn believes that sewing styles and techniques _ the most important elements of business attire _ can influence business partners' attitude towards the person in the tailored suit. A neatly-made shirt gives them an impression this person consider the business serious, Ahn said. "Especially for a CEO who represents a company, I try to make shirts that are well matched with his visage and the jackets he often wears. I would say that this shop is the place customers can find the right shirts," Ahn said. JangMee This historic tailor shop, JangMee, is proud of its traditional bespoke tailoring. JangMee began as a department of Cheil Industries that tested various textiles to learn how appropriate the fabrics were to make suits in 1956, and became an independent company in 1988. Since the beginning, JangMee has been recreating the classic styles of Italy and London, the homes of bespoke suits. The shop is involved in the entire suit making process from taking orders to cutting out a pattern and sewing. When a customer walks into the shop, one of the well-trained stylists asks many questions to get to know everything about him, including his lifestyle, preferred color and measurements. Once the stylist picks the fabric to use and decides the overall style of the suits, a tailor is solely in charge of cutting a pattern and another sewing specialist exclusively assumes the job of creating a pair of unique suits for the customer. "Most of our customers care about details such as the color of the lining of the suit, colors of threads, and even the material of buttons," JangMee President Lee Young-won said. "But the overall silhouette and the aura that the person has when he wears the suit are more important than detail." In order to create the elegant silhouettes of JangMee suits, Lee always tries to keep a balance between the latest trend and traditional style. "Fashions change so rapidly, but we cannot compromise the basic standard of our men's suits," said Lee. "Customers wear our bespoke suits with grace and dignity. Although each design is different, maintaining the silhouette is our priority." The fineness of a suit is largely defined by the quality of the fabric it is made of. That's why fabric and materials for menswear are more expensive than for women'clothing, Lee said. The biggest strength of JangMee's bespoke suits is that they are a 100 percent hand-made product from materials of the highest quality. Lansmere Lansmere, the first select shop of classic clothing in Korea, offers not only tailor-made suits but also imported menswear of more than 50 brands from Napoli and London. The shop started as a bespoke tailor boutique under the management of Cheil Industries in 2005, before changing its identity to become a select shop. Lansmere's unique and exclusive feature beyond its tailoring technique is a unique service it offers, the Customer Advising Team (CAT). The team is made up of pattern specialists and sales representatives who visit customers and provide a bespoke service. It targets customers who are too busy to visit the shop themselves. The service requires an advance reservation and customers can choose the date, time and place they want. Lansmere's select shop has prestigious Italian brands such as Boglioli, which is famous for classic cotton jackets, and PT01, a world-renowned brand of men's pants. As its identity as a select shop suggests, customers can find not only formal and casual suits there but also a variety of accessories including leather shoes, ties and cufflinks. |

"Marjan from Amsterdam writes:
'When I miss just one episode I can't follow
this strip anymore and it really annoys me...'"
"Can't we screen these letters before I read them?"
Jean-Paul Arends studied graphic design and created the increasingly popular comic strip 'Scribbly', which is published daily in the Metro newspaper. Inspired by comic characters like Bill Watterson's 'Calvin & Hobbes' and Luc Cromheecke's 'Taco Zip', Scribbly and his friends have bizarre adventures set against the background of a mental institution.
The minimalist style of 'Scribbly' (no text balloons or backgrounds) and its surreal story-line earned Jean-Paul Arends some criticism from newspaper readers, as well as a crowd of devoted fans. Scribbly's first album, 'Ik Hoop Dat Die Ene Goeie Erin Staat', was published in May 2001 and several more collections have followed. Arends has additionally made the editorial comic strip 'De Eerlijkheid' with Patrice van der Linden for MYX Stripmagazine.

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
I'm Brian -- this is keeping score make sure to watch FOX & Friends every day from six anonymously kill -- -- friends from nine to -- First things first one of the biggest stories in sports is the demise of the lakers little by little -- whittled -- at the court.
Not only their legendary coach Phil Jackson now though without guys like there abstaining.
Derek Fisher at point guard because he's got the best of him perhaps but they did -- -- off.
When you're defending a guy -- runner test excuse me that it world peace I think there is an issue of those who think -- front and I contend for a championship.
Have to have another thought in mind because the lakers and the management team the we'll get another guy in here they'll allow him to compete for a title -- his name is Dwight Howard.
The -- no -- just fired their coach they weren't getting along with him here's the big secret that everyone knows.
-- it turns out -- They're really like -- abilities to look at Dwight Howard it's somewhat selfish.
He had problems -- -- with the injuries and I think they think that they can preempt that salaried try to get a good draft pick for the future down the line.
-- combine that maybe three -- situation in Pao Gasol goes down to Orlando which by the way -- -- it would desirable location for the Big -- employers because of the tax situation and state.
I think something -- the lakers will make a move and actually have to make a move now there's no question.
They actually have to make a move and one of the guys he could good and Orlando is if you find who is -- -- case.
The Yankees are no where there are struggling like no time I've seen over the last five years Iraq's not hitting rob -- and those not being marked a share is not hitting and the Yankees are losing.
They were shut out by the royals the second game -- lost two of the worst teams in baseball.
Here's the thing with that -- -- -- to bail them out late I think it's gonna be way to July to the Yankees turn it around at that time will be too late.
-- a real would be when you open up the paper a couple of weeks and see the Red Sox and yankees at the bottom of the division.
Another said news and world sports.
There's a ton of women's soccer players it's not a big need to in the Olympics starts of the World Cup happens you all watch -- talking about 70000 packed stadium.
And millions watch around the world but they cannot sustain a pro league business model doesn't work and you know what women -- going -- to watch.
Maine usually watch women usually -- at some point if they bring a man.
A man does not need to go oddity to go to a baseball or football game but it seems women can't get themselves to support a sport that -- with a likely play it.
With a foundation of youth soccer with women playing a greater numbers at the highest levels -- -- -- being the best or among the best in the world.
I think the foundation is here there's only one answer.
W and analysts before most MLS games promise -- double header.
Women play first and a couple of dollars to the tickets at first this out to be a lot less.
When there's a huge game with some big -- of course maybe you don't need to compile the men's team but for the most part -- could be soccer afternoon to bring your daughter bring your son.
And make it a total soccer.
A soccer weekend.
That's the only shot I believe the women's league has been good enough athletes -- -- -- is so press friendly.
He could only hope that they can make it work but for now another pro league goes down in flames.
I'm -- Kilmeade what do you think about what I think keeping score at coxnews dot -- Twitter dot com's list you'll need a few next time we keep score to get.

Good location.
couldn't check out after one night, they were going to charge me anyway. Being on the second floor was noisy with the subway nearby. They did change my room the next day but then I had to deal with a cold shower the morning I left .
Comfy beds
This was all around a negative experience. We were in NYC for a wedding...family and friends stayed at Hotel Azure. The rooms were extremely small. One couple got bed bugs...bites, infestation in personal items that had to be discarded (play pen, stroller, luggage). Drain issues in the shower. The worst reminder was the daily disgusting odor of rotting vegetables in the only elevator. An air freshener was usually sitting in one corner, but did nothing to cover the odor. The staff had stock responses when we complained, trained to verbally respond but do nothing to correct the issue. Our party of 7 (3 rooms) will not repeat Hotel Azure.
too expensive for one night...but location was prime!
All of it.
Shaking from subway trains passing by
Location was good - near Tribeca & SOHO. Room was reasonably priced but there are better values available for the same price.
The room was shabby, broken picture frame, paper hanging from ceiling, floor level cubby holes instead of drawers and the room shook when the subway trains passed under the hotel (which was frequently).
The cost and location were nice.
Sooooo much traffic. The rooms are right over the street an subway ( the Room was either vibrating from the train, or to L
Very convenient to subway, shopping and restaurants. The room was very small but it was clean, bed was comfortable and had coffee/shower amenities. All that we needed for our short stay.
Given the location of this hotel you will hear the subway trains and if you are not an early riser your wake up call will be the trash and delivery trucks.
Shower and bed
Size of room
Good facilities, though its in Chinatown, easy access to Metro.
Good if a Microwave is available in the room/ pantry. A bottle of complimentary water will go a long way for those who are on the move.
Overall pretty quiet hotel, clean rooms; great valve for location
Website does not reflect what hotel really looks like. . . very... Very diseasing
Price/ value, location
Small size of rooms
The hotel was clean and convenient to everything we wanted to do. The room was compact but had all the amenities we required.
Typical downtown noisy city life...But ear plugs work really well!
The bed and the room were big
The smell in the lift and the corridors was nasty. Everything shaked every time the subway passed
Central location.
The room I stayed in was small and shabby with a horrible carpet. Internet access was very weak. The walls and ceiling needed new wallpaper. The hotel is too expensive for the services received. You even have to pay for leaving your luggage a few hours at the reception!
Only location
Noisy and room very small,if u want to sleep ,dont go to there!! No heater at bathroom!!
Location next to Broadway Room clean but nothing special
Extra charges to leave package
The only thing that made this stay, was Theresa at the front desk, she was awesome! Too good for that hotel I think.
First, graffiti on building, elevator smelled of old water like mildew, leftover bug killing on wall, hole in the wall, no bed sheet, the bathroom floor was so filthy, shower was gross with thick layers of dirt on the floor around shower Room 403. We took a tour and that's the area we returned too . We thought it might work because it was for one night before our flight. Big mistake. We slept in our clothes.
Great hotel in a great location. Friendly and helpful staff, clean and affordable.
Location is excellent, staff is friendly and competent, bedsheets are clean, beds are comfortable
Noise from cars
It was ok, room was very small, have no complaints with regards to facilities in the room or cleanliness in the room. However, the hotel lobby area, lifts and lobby to the room are very depressing and there was a very awful smell. We tried to draw the receptionist attention but he seemed disconcerned and fobbed us off.
For the price charged it would have helped to have some breakfast at least. So not good value for the price paid.
Location, all needed services provided, helpful, accessible staff, nicely appointed hotel, clean, very well-priced
The telephone was malfunctioning, and it couldn't be fixed, so I had to disconnect it.
The location is perfect, just by the Subway. The room is just the size required for NYC and the bathroom is big.
next to subway.
it is right on A main road by traffic lights, traffic honk their horns all day & all night, never had A good nights sleep in 1 week, we would never stay there again. too expensive
Clean, free wi-fi, flat screen TV, location, price
no closet, no hangars, no drawers, no iron

Losing a Broadcasting Legend: Pete Fornatale
For those of you who have never heard his voice, listened to his broadcasts or even heard of his name... my heart aches for you. He was that good.
I grew up listening to the very beginnings of free-flow music on radio in the 60's. The radio station was WNEW-FM 102.7 in New York City. It was the pinnacle of radio broadcasting and the standard by which every radio station should be judged. It was that good.
The line-up I best remember started with morning drive man Dave Herman, followed by Pete Fornatale, next up the legendary Scott Muni, Jonathan Schwartz, the Night Bird Alison Steele and ending with Vin Scelsa. In later years, Richard Neer, Carol Miller, Dennis Elsas, Dan Neer, Meg Griffin and many more DJs, who even today, can be heard on Satellite radio and college stations.They were that good.
Of all the DJs, Pete Fornatale was my absolute favorite. To this day, he would be the only celebrity to whom I would write a letter.
Pete would never just spin records…yes it was vinyl, skips and all. Pete would weave a story into his selections and see if the listeners picked up on what were his intentions. "Active and passive listeners," he called it. That was the phrase which caused me to write the letter. I so thoroughly got it. And, I so thoroughly enjoyed it. Of course, those were the days when DJs were able to play pretty much what they wanted. This was why you listened to specific DJs…you liked what they played and how they went about playing it. You didn't hear the same song 14 times a day. It was a time of great radio.
Pete Fornatale started out as a college DJ at Fordham University in NY, where he attended classes. After the commercial radio business went into the toilet, Pete returned to Fordham's station WFUV, one of the best known and well-respected college stations in the country. He worked at that station until his death.
Pete worked tirelessly for a cause he believed in. WhyHunger, a charity co-founded in 1975 by the late Harry Chapin and Pete's friend Bill Ayres. The annual Hunger-Thon was, and still is a staple of the Thanksgiving season. Over all these years, a lot of money and a lot of food has been donated to help the needy.
We lost Pete Fornatale yesterday, apparently all the musicians we have also lost recently, needed a good DJ to manage the music. There is no one better to choose than Pete. He was that good.
Easy journey Pete.

LOL - you beat me to it Calcav! Longstreet, that line about "there were more racists in the north than the South is pure opinion stated as fact. Unless of course you have some primary source, which would seem impossible since racism is not something that can be visibly measured. I also have a problem with the oft-repeated line that "it was a different time" or "putting yourselves in Southerners shoes". Look at a timeline of abolition, not just here but worldwide. Slavery was not as "commonly accepted" as some would have us think. The inhumanity of it was not unknown or misunderstood. It was understood and accepted by the South for economic reasons. |

Oh, I wasn't saying NOW there are more racists in the North than South. But I think we can all agree that in most places in the 1860's--North and South, were not exactly colorblind in the United States. There was racism everywhere you went, and there still, to a degree, is. And let me make myself clear that I am not justifying slavery. My apologies for straying of topic. Casey |

Calcav, if the Southern gentry had no fear of Northern political interference then there would have been no reason to go bananas everytime a new state was admitted to the Union. Beginning with Missouri, every state was contentious. Between fugitive slave activities and slavery in the territories, there must have been something that they felt threatened by. From reading various passages from Charles Sumner, I get the opinion that there truly was a band of legislators that was out to kill slavery. So, it was not so much the White House but the House of Rep. The Senate was balanced by the compromises, the White House was Southern for the most part, and the House was dominated by the North. |

I'd say the proof is in the pudding… Of the major political and social issues from 1820 to 1860, slavery was the primary motivator in over half (and virtually all in the 1850s) and secondary in most others. Here's my list of such issues, with the 'slavery premier' ones asterisked. I'd say none are 'slavery-free' issues. Feel free to add other major issues I have excluded... Clay's American System *Missouri Compromise of 1820 The tariff and Nullification Crisis Manifest Destiny and westward migration Industrial revolution Mexican War Social reform *Fugitive Slave Act *Compromise of 1850 *Publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin *Split of religious denominations *Kansas-Nebraska Act *Dred Scott Case HankC |

I have a long list of shortcomings. Not curious about things I'm not already passionate about, I'm also ignorant about geography, history, and most of The Important Information people learn in school. This, despite the fact I performed well in my studies in excellent schools through 19th grade. I pick at myself, the pantry, and my husband when anxious. I learn only enough about technology to get by (see: my yahoo account). I expect my children to hurry when developmentally they're programmed to stop getting dressed at underwear and one sock, in order to play with a delivery-pizza plastic center hubcap "sensei" dictating a multi-level journey to his plastic hubcap protégé. In Wolof.
Then comes the problem of music. It rarely occurs to me to put any on, unless I'm in the car. If you only think of music when you're in the car, your choices become naturally selected: radio with a crappy signal, two scratched "Music Together" children's music class companion CDs known to impair your driving more than texting (what with the all the triangle and wood block), and whatever decent music your husband left in the car during the past decade. Right now it's Dylan. See how I said "Dylan" instead of "Bob Dylan" like I meant serious in-group musical business? I nearly spelled him Bob Dillan, honest to God.
When someone else turns on music in my company I think Wow. Music... I should play that! A year ago I discovered Pandora and felt musically Roto-rooted for an invigorating three weeks. Then I lost the password. Password loss indifference falls just below musical constipation in my catalog of shortcomings.
My iPod is so busy updating free NPR podcasts it wouldn't recognize a riff if Terri Gross shredded it herself. Riff! Shred! Serious in-group musical business.
Worse even, Husband now suffers musical-constipation-by proxy. He played drums in shows all over Chicago in the 1990s: The Double Door, The Metro, The House of Blues—Billy Corgan even spent a day recording his band! (Name dropping comes after password loss indifference, but above repeating things I've said that made one person laugh once in my catalog of shortcomings). When we met, he lived out west and still loved Phish. In Chicago we both traveled a Rufus Wainwright phase together, and then he got really into Jazz on Vinyl. "Vinyl!" Serious. In group. Musical Business.
I love music. I Swear. I sing along with most every song that comes on our crappy car radio—at least the chorus, with the wrong lyrics, and in perfect harmony which would be a lot less embarrassing if I were being ironic. I love to get on a dance floor and get DOWN. But I am musically constipated and I blame showtunes. I recently heard that the music we most remember/identify with is that which we listened to at age 14. Did I read that on your blog Nancy Davis Kho? Well at age 14 I basically wanted to be the next Disney Ingénue more than I wanted a cruise to Acapulco AND a real boyfriend to give me a Black Hills Gold heart-shaped garnet ring. But instead of a ravishing Jewish Ingénue, Disney gave us Fievel, and I listened to Somewhere Out There on repeat and ruined my musical motivation forever.
I need a musical enema. Things have become so dismal I've found myself humming along to the Super Mario Galaxy Official Soundtrack by Mario Galaxy Orchestra. I know sometimes drunk drivers or frail elders have a hard time handing over the keys, but I'm begging you. I have good taste, I just lack initiative. Someone take our iPods. Take over my Spotify account, because I don't want to learn to use it. If you'll re-constitute our musical stylings, I swear I'll take better note of the passwords. I'm serious this time. "Stop picking" and "grow learned" are already among my New Year's Resolutions.

Odd that the reporter chose to use the "name change" angle. Anyone that was actually there that night or saw it on TV would recognize that Flynn brought up the name change issue almost as a passing statement during his comments on the branding goal. He brought it up as a reminder and that was it...there was no further discussion about it and they moved on.
So Star...he talked about the name change for all of 30-45 seconds in a meeting that lasted 3.5 hours.
Why didn't you report on the budget balancing efforts? The discussion about what to do with the redevelopment district elimination? Public safety efforts?? Transportation??
Sounds like the reporter must have come late and left early.

Is Demi Lovato Back with Ex Wilmer Valderrama?
Demi Lovato is no stranger to the ex factor — as in, ex-boyfriend.
The X Factor judge was spotted furniture shopping with former flame Wilmer Valderrama
The duo were on and off for years, but in 2012, shortly after the two were spotted partying at Beacher's Madhouse, reports of a relapse once more swirled...
Demi dismissed them, insisting she was still on track and revealing that she was actually living in a sober house in Los Angeles.
Demi moved out of that facility this spring, however, tweeting in April, "So happy to have my own apartment!
And Wilmer helped her pick out home decor items for her new pad at Urban Home in Sherman Oaks, California.

Yang Lu Ch'an (1799-1872), the founder of the Yang style heard about the famous Tai Chi Master Chīen Chang-hsing (Chen style) and because he had no chance to become student in the family he acted to be deaf and mute to become a servant in the house of Master Chīen. Secretly he studied the evening teaching lessons und during the night he practised what he had seen before. After many months he was exposed. He showed himself to be so talented, that after several examinations the Master accepted him as student. Later he travelled through China and won againts 18 famous Masters in combat using never more than two movements. Therefor he was given the name " Yang who does not fight". He started to teach the public in Peking. But he was stopped by the King, who took him to the Emperorīs Palce as privat teacher for himself. |
His sons Yang Chien-Hou (1839-1917) and Yang Pan-Hou (1837-1892) continued the style in the way of their father. Yang Ch'eng-Fu (1883-1936), a son of Yang Chien-Hou, was called the most famous Master of the last century. He travelled a lot and published the Yang style all over China. From the thousands of his students only few had been initiated in the tradition and the secrets of the Family style and later authorized as Master of the lineage. But other students who had not been accepted and trained in that special way, started to teach what they had leaned uncompleted. Therefore so many public variations of the Yang Family style are to be found today. In China itself the government published a short form which was called "Peking Form" in the year 1955 to bring Tai Chi to as many people as possible. But also in the West, first in the USA, in Canada and England and in the last years also in the continantal Europe, the Yang style is the most published form. It was on the first place Cheng Man Ch'ing (passed away 1975), a student of Yang Ch'eng Fu, who spread out Tai Chi in the West. He was a talented Master of poetry, painting and calligraphy. He was also skilled in medicine, but he had not been a disciple of Yang Ch'eng Fu. Therefore his Yang style differs a lot- not only in the succession of the so called Tai Chi form, which he abbreviated himself- from the original Yang style. |
The instruction of Yang Shou-chung (1910-1985), the eldest son of Yang Ch'eng Fu, started when he was eight. He also learned from his famous uncle Yang Shao-hu (1862-1929). After the death of his father he became the successor in the Family lineage. Three younger sons of Yang Chīeng Fu live in China. Yang Shou-chung had since 1949 in Hongkong only three disciples - the last of them was Master Chu King Hung, who lives and teaches since 1970 in London.
