I've had 3 losses, first when I was 23 due to a violent act upon me. Then 2 years ago only days after a bfp, and now today at 6 weeks 1 day. I have a d&c tomorrow. I still grieve about the first, the second I barely had time to know and I know it was God's way of taking something that couldn't survive. This one is very upsetting for several reasons, it was my last chance to have a baby as I am having major surgery next year and after that having children is not possible and really I can't go through this again. I feel very guilty and sad and angry. I know it could have been a million reasons why, but when ttc, I went over all the medications I was taking and the ob ok'd them, then at my appt today the other ob at the office told me 2 are Cat C and one a Cat D.
I'm sorry that this ever has to happen. If children are a gift, why are they taken away?

A ProstaScint scan uses an injection of low-level radioactive material to test for the spread of
prostate cancer
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This test is given to men who have
prostate cancer
to see if it has spread to the lymph nodes or other areas.
Complications are rare. But, no procedure is free of risk. If you are planning to have a ProstaScint scan, your doctor will review a list of possible complications. These complications may include:
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the test.
Your doctor may do a
bone scan
. This is a test that detects areas of increased or decreased bone turnover. It can reveal bone injury, bone disease, or cancer spread to the bones.
Before your test:
For the scan, you will be positioned next to a device that takes images.
The radioactive material that was injected into your vein is attracted to prostate cancer cells in the body. Whole body images will be taken to detect areas where the material collects. This is done to find out if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other organs away from your prostate.
You will be able to leave after the test is done. You can resume normal activities. You may need to return the next day for more images.
1-2 hours
Your doctor will review the images. The results will be ready in a few days.
Call if you have any questions or concerns. In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Step Perfect shoe, wrong size for me. The shoe is awesome! I love it! I really like the design and the feel of the shoe. The only problem is that I think I got 1/2-1 size too small of a shoe due to the chart conversion online. I've worn Converse for the past 7 years of my life, and I wasn't sure how the size would convert over to Adidas. I thought to myself, I wear a 6 in women's, which is a 4 in men's. This being a men's shoe, I look for a 4 on the men's size and bought the shoe. I should have looked on the women's side for a 6 and bought whatever size that was on the men's side of the conversion chart! Overall I am still quite satisfied with my purchase and do recommend it to others. June 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Emerald_Adder [miadidas] Custom - Good Buy I ordered a custom dragon shoes, and was overall pleased with the result. I was worried though since you can't return the customs - for obvious reasons. First, the quality is generally pretty good. What I designed in the picture was what I got exactly - no deviation. I was pleased about that. I generally wear an 8 1/2 or 9 in other brands, but my previous adidas from years ago (I had to check) were actually 10s. So I though I'd try a 9 1/2 after hearing that the size ran tight. Well, I think the width is perfect for me, but the shoe is probably true-to-size 9 1/2 since I have alot of extra room at the toe - so they're a bit longer than I'd prefer, they don't look like clown shoes or anything, so I'm still pretty pleased. The quality is generally good from what I can tell, though I haven't worn them for very long. Overally, I like them, and would recommend them - it is a tough gamble given the price and the inability to return, but my gamble happened to pay off! I particularly like this shoe because you can get each stripe in a different color - I got my in Germany's colors, and even added a German flag jewel which I think could've been over-the-top but no actually it looks pretty good. Good luck! Hope my review helps! March 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Clark Great shoe! I just bought these shoes from Kitson and they're pretty legit! I'm a college student so I'm always looking for cool shoes that will last and be comfortable. These fit the bill and everyone likes them! They're pretty comfortable but a little tight. I guess when I break into them they won't be as stubborn as they are right now. Unlike some other reviews of these, I believe these shoes have just the right fabric and have enough fabric to support the feet. I love the navy color which goes with pretty much everything in my closet. The gold font and brand logo are pretty legit too. It makes ya feel good that your shoes are Dragons haha. March 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by City Runner Good buy but be careful. I had the original Dragon shoes a little time a go and they were great.I decided to buy a new pair but they were quite different from the first ones. They were narrow and for guys with big feet I recommended a 1/2 to 1 size big and be careful before wear it,to see if both feet are not defective. I bought mine 3 weeks ago and the left foot was very different from the right foot. The positive point was ADIDAS customer service. They were "GREAT and EFFICIENT" as always, and send me a new pair after 2 days of my complain. In general, the Dragon Shoes are worth a try! July 28, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Back to the Future Cool shoes! Very comfortable shoes, I must say - it looks great (I love the old school style)! I took the "new navy / white / gold" - the best looking one for me ...You will not regret it if you buy them! + In my opinion, are not as tight (narow) as people described it here ... A perfect fit for my foot, in fact. April 22, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Anthonyace11 Look great They look great but after wearing these shoes for only two weeks they got a hole in them and all ive done is wear them to class. I dont understand how that can happen. needless to say im returning these and going with another brand, im not impressed adidas. April 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by The Kyle Nice looking but will they last? To be brutally honest, I'm not sure if these will last 2 years or 2 days. There's little to nothing in between your foot and the outside layer of the shoe, so they aren't exactly very comfy (the size is correct though). The etching and fabric designs on the outside rub up against your foot on the inside where the stitching comes together. It's both rigid on the inside but more or less pliable as an entirety. I'd most likely return them if I didn't have to cover return shipping myself. All in all, the experience has taught me to buy shoes in a brick and mortar store so I know what I'm getting straight away. July 27, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by nashiva Not what it appeared to be I bought these shoes based on their representation in the pictures, and based on other customer reviews. The appear to be much sturdier than they actually are. I was expecting a solid semi-athletic/pedestrian shoe, but what I actually received was what can only be described as a shell of a shoe. Virtually zero arch or heel support, and figuratively paper thin surrounding material. It felt completely unfinished both in hand and on foot. Needless to say, I'm returning them and trying something else. September 15, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by crazyberns This is the best! I have this for a few years now and I'm still wearing it. It fits well and suits your feet when you're wearing pants or shorts and very comfortable as well. Highly recommended! Actually, I'm buying another pair again. Cheers! July 11, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Dr. Berryman Looks can be deceiving. The Dragon is a great shoe - super comfortable, good to run in, and looks awesome with jeans. However, the picture of the black/white/gold dragons is not what they look like. I bought them because they look almost completely black and white, but when they arrived, the suede part is not even close to white - it's nothing shy of beige. If that's cool with you, go ahead an buy it, but if you're like me and wanted just a two-tone shoe, you're not going to like the way the beige suede looks. August 24, 2010

Does the AKC Deserve the Bad Press?
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by sam the cat | May 10 2013 | Permalink
Mr. Brandow raises an interesting point. The problem isn't that the AKC isn't doing enough inspections, it's that it supports the idea of breeds in the first place. Even if they claim to support responsible only breeders, by propagating the idea the there is some cachet in owning a "purebred," the AKC ensures that there is a market for the puppy mills' products.

Has everyone forgotten about the numbers of puppy mill dogs who are mixed breed designer dogs? Just wondering, because in my neck of the woods it is shi-poos, doodles etc.
Exactly. It's more about changing people's unreasonable expectations of dogs than forcing old-schoolers to do things they may not even be able to do. "Reproductive uniformity" and hyped-up lineage have been the main selling points for "purebreds" from day one in the dog fancy because English folk wanted to be seen with the same pets as aristocracy. Whether present-day purists purchase their cachet from a puppy mill, a backyard breeder, or some "reputable" one, nobody on the street is going to know the difference so long as a Bulldog limps like a Bulldog should and a Pug gasps for air like a proper Pug.—Michael Brandow

Mr. Brandow, you say that the AKC should join the 21st century, so what steps do you propose they take to do that? Should they merely relax breed standards -- or do away with them entirely and find some other raison d'être?
You can't have a breed without a standard and papers to prove it. The Swedish Kennel Club has managed to improve dogs somewhat while keeping "breediness." Their standards are more forgiving and a judge's decision must also take into account health and functionality. Still, the conformation part is always a distraction from any plan to improve.
Standards at Westminster are pure esthetics. Not only do they decide which dog becomes the next popular stud, the judge's latest ruling on "correct" conformation becomes the model for breeders around the country. Recent studies have shown that hundreds of health problems in dogs are directly or indirectly due to these arbitrary, increasingly extreme beauty pageant ideals.
I vote to do away with breed standards, and with breeds as we know them. People are too hooked on looks, and by mixing the races dogs might be bred for function once again. Genetic diversity and health would be the only standards, and perhaps some practical, no-nonsense concerns like size and energy level that individual pet owners think they can handle. That's assuming that pet dogs should be bred on any kind of large scale, because without a better way to monitor what goes on in kennels, and considering how many get dumped, maybe they shouldn't.—Michael Brandow

The reason why the AKC gets away with torture and eugenics, if not at times outright murder, is that they have succeeded in breeding out the initial wolf-like temperament of most dogs, creating mentally unstable and physically weak, unhealthy animals who can't really fight back. I'd like to imagine a Jurassic Park scenario where kennels try to breed raptors down to a manageable size and desirable decorator color--how quickly would the market react then to their products? Bravo, Mr. Brandow, for pointing to the "science run amok" antics of the AKC!
Interesting what you say about rendering dogs helpless. In my upcoming book I suggest this is exactly what happened to the Bulldog.
The first standardized breed to have its own specialty club devoted to furthering its "interests" in England, the Bulldog had a shady past in the fighting and baiting pits, not a selling point for "good" Victorian families. The repackaged Bulldog became a favorite in finer homes on both sides of the Atlantic where wealthy trend-setters bought these reformed fighters because it was the fashionable thing to do. But bulls weren't fully trusted at first and were on a sort of trial period for decades.
I think the reason for crippling Bulldogs, slowing them to a snail's pace and making heart attacks so common was to make them less threatening as house pets. This repackaging has not been innocent or without damage to the dogs themselves. This year the Bulldog is officially the most expensive breed in terms of veterinary care, but the poor things were a mess from the moment they were standardized and thrown into the ring back in the nineteenth century. The Bulldog just got bumped up to no. 5 in the AKC's "Top Ten" most popular breeds, so I guess this means they're "good with children."—Michael Brandow

I note the author has a book coming out titled "Dog Snobs...". I'm sorry but he is the one who comes off as a snob. I am not a breeder and have no affiliation with the AKC. However, recently, after 40 years of strays, shelter dogs and rescues (including on dog who was the product of a puppy mill, with all the expected temperament and health issues) I chose to add a purebred dog to my family. But first, I did research including reading AKC materials about how to choose a responsible breeder and healthy dog. I bristle at the idea that responsible breeders or the very concept of purebred dogs are the reason so many dogs are euthanized each day. People who do not spay and neuter and carelessly let their dogs breed, backyard breeders who do not take the care to have a structured breeding program, people who want their dogs or kids to experience birth these people are far more responsible for flooding shelters with dogs (and cats). The concept of a purebred dog goes far beyond "status" or the mere appearance of the dog. It's about predictability. When I select a purebred dog, I know what size it expected to be as an adult, I know what it's personality traits should be, I know whether it tends to be a barker, a chewer, a runner. Dog are individuals, but a properly bred dog will be true to type - not just "pretty". I chose the breeder of my dog carefully. I found many pretty websites that were clearly interested in breeding to make money. I also met many breeders who stressed that their breeding program considers minimizing health problems and producing dogs with a sound temperament as priorities (including those who health screen the breeding stock). I've never gotten such assurance with my shelter dogs. It is also important to note that a quality breeder will require an owner to return the dog to the breeder if they should become unable to provide appropriate care. Such breeders also require their dogs to be altered if they are not show dogs, and if they are to be shown, the breeder retains partial ownership. Most such breeders are even more selective about placing show candidates. Are their bad breeders? Yes. Are their puppy mills? Yes. The potential owner needs to take responsibility as well and understand that the less expensive puppy is less expensive for a reason. Do I hope for a world where every dog is purebred? No. But I do hope for a world where every dog is selectively bred and whose breeders take responsibility to make sure the offspring are healthy and sound, and will not be abandoned to a shelter.

I'm sure you have deep and abiding love and respect for all dogs regardless of breed and status appeal. But at the point of purchase, you were motivated by snobbish impulses and I'm sorry to hear that. A woman I know did something similar, reminding me we're all a bundle of contradictions and nobody's perfect. She'd been kind enough to rescue two Pugs (among the most inbred and unhealthy breeds on the market whether they come from puppy mills or "reputable" breeders), but then went against her nobler impulses and bought a third because, and I quote: "I felt I'd earned it."
Yes, I agree that dogs are "individuals," but as such they don't need to be "true to type." In fact "predictability" has been a sales pitch used by breeders, breed clubs, and kennel clubs for years to makes us believe, as they do, that you can manufacture animals not only for standardized appearance but for stylized skills and temperaments in the same way GM builds cars for "performance" on the assembly line. Not quite the same things.
Remember that dogs were first segregated into commercial breeds using a primitive understanding of coat color genetics and blunt cross-breeding for some "desirable" head shape. Only later, as an afterthought, were all the standard advertising clichés like "loyalty," "intelligence," "nobility," &c., added to each breed which had stopped being bred for behavior the moment it stepped into the show ring. Yes, it's possible to generalize about descendants of ancient fighting, guarding, herding and hunting landraces—not breeds—and terriers tend to be harder to handle than Collies. But I myself have lived in close company with hundreds of dogs in every shape, size, and color, and it has been my experience that owners of the "purebreds" first fall in love with an individual dog, then backtrack and rationalize all the distinctive qualities unique to their brand-name favorites. Breeding for "predictable" skill or temperament is difficult enough in lines actually bred to perform useful tasks. In fact there's a distinct trend toward cross-breeding service dogs because many of the "purebreds" are becoming too "pure" for their own good (and ours).
I see nothing to admire in a breeder who devotes more care to placing "show" dogs in good homes than dogs that don't meet the AKC's list of beauty pageant ideals. Also, allowing only potential prize winners to remain intact is a major reason why breeds became so sick in the first place. Every new champion marks the beginning of a new wave of "popular sire effect" which further decreases the genetic diversity and health of dogs.—Michael Brandow

The AKC doesn't always know what is going on at these places so in my opinion no. Now the thousands of people that support the people by turning their head when they see these sickly animals and those that buy them are supporting these people. Put the blame where it's due. And as long as their is a demand for people to have dogs with papers there will always be a majority that uses it for profit without care of the animal.

O.K., so the AKC doesn't guarantee health in the animals it endorses for purchase. On the contrary, it publishes a disclaimer relieving itself of all responsibility. If the AKC's stated role is to provide "education," then it's doing a miserable job of that, because a large number of the dogs it awards papers come from puppy mills.
So who, exactly, should the buyer beware of, if not the AKC itself? The "education" it does provide can be extremely misleading, and this I would call propaganda.
The AKC's role should be, at the very least, an exemplary one, which it is, and the AKC is fully aware of the weight it still has even with the puppy mill and pedigree health scandals nipping at its heels. By publishing the list of "Top Ten" breeds each year on the eve of Westminster, promoting these breeds on its website, and awarding them prizes in the ring without mandatory health tests and with disclaimers on health (even though both pet and show dogs with AKC papers are naturally assumed to come from "reputable" breeders), it takes an ACTIVE role in misleading consumers to believe these dogs are quality products, not only better than the average street mongrel, but better than other breeds because … well, because if everyone's buying them and they're getting prizes, then they must be good.
The AKC has traditionally relied upon the snob appeal of "purebreds" to override all other concerns of otherwise educated and thoughtful people. The same person who wouldn't buy a car without reading a consumer report gladly buys a Bulldog—among the most sickly breeds, and likely THE most expensive breed in term of veterinary care— because it's the no. 5 most popular breed ( based on AKC registrations).
Currently, five of the "Top Ten" most fashionable dogs to be seen with on the sidewalk also have the honor of being in the top ten for cancer:
Cancer is but one example among many other defects in not only the "Top Ten" but the "Top 25." And yet Westminster judges go on awarding prizes to dogs without mandatory health tests—dogs that will breed prodigiously if they win prizes, thus passing on their defects to untold numbers of animals— because the AKC does not guarantee health and so buyer beware.
So what is the AKC's role and what are its responsibilities as an accepted and trusted authority on dogs? The AKC has been playing both sides for a long time, only now people are wising up to its tricks.

My feelings on the puppy mill AKC are the following
Submitted by Jen Brighton | May 13 2013 | Permalink
I am looking forward to reading Mr. Brandow's book. I've only owned shelter dogs of unknown mixed breeds that are lumped in with the bully breeds, but when comparing my shelter dogs to many friends' purebred dogs, they are overall healthier, no allergies, skin problems, joint problems, neurological problems, etc.
As to the elitist concept and what I consider the Westminster snobbery, and by no means do I mean everyone with a purebred is a snob, I was recently told on another blog that my dogs were just "mutts," from which I inferred my dogs somehow weren't as worthy as purebreds. I love all dogs. I personally have no problem with healthy, purpose-bred dogs where maybe one or two litters are bred in a year where the most important aspect on the part of the breeder is the dogs' health and temperament. I also like to see people that do acquire purebreds use them for what they were bred for (hunting, herding, agility, service dog). However, it seems often purebreds are simply a showpiece for folks. In that case, I feel rescuing a shelter dog is more humane. Just the cost for a breeder dog is often ridiculous, especially as Dina points out, all the doodles are really mutts if you want to look at it that way. Even the creator of Labradoodles, Wally Conron, says he regrets what he unintentionally started with the doodle craze and the irresponsibility and capitalization of breeders pumping out these so-called designer dogs with no care for their health, temperament or concern for the homes they are placed in.

You say: "approved and regulated by them—on shape, size, and color rather than health, temperament, or function."
You say: "Of course there's no guarantee that every or any one single dog will turn out healthy and balanced, but it's a fact of nature that, on average and with vast numbers of AKC-registered puppy mill dogs tipping the equation, a tenth-generation mutt has better chances in life than a "purebred" or even a first-generation cross."
"The real bad guy is a bankrupt tradition of valuing companion animals for pedigree and for standardized shape, size, and color—and the belief that's it's alright to produce them in large numbers to meet these whimsical demands."
The AKC also has a program called the Breeders of Merit in which members must be actively involved in events and follow breed club health testing recommendations, etc. (again, not controlled by the AKC) so that puppy buyers are able to AVOID the puppy mills. This is beneficial to the AKC because these breeders are entering AKC sanctioned events - conformation, agility, etc. - and therefore if demand for these dogs increase, then more people would enter events and the AKC's revenue would increase from entry fees. Puppy mills are not entering these events.
They also provide a list of questions that you should ask your breeder and to avoid people that show no interest in the dogs welfare or placement (like puppy mills) and they suggest seeing the parents of the puppy you are considering purchasing when at the breeder's home.
All of the information on how to find a responsible breeder is available on the AKC site and more detailed breed specific information is often found on the parent club website. The problem isn't that the AKC and the parent clubs aren't putting the information out there. It's that the puppy buyers aren't taking time to research. I work for a rescue but when my family wanted a pure bred dog we took the time to research, went to the home of the breeders, met mom (dad was away at a tournament), got the results of the health testing of the parents, were able to ask questions and were able to stay in contact with the breeder. I know he came from a good place and he is exactly what we would expect from his breed - his conformation is not extreme and his health is no better or worse than the mixes/rescues we have had.

So your solution is to go on inbreeding dogs to a degree that's illegal in some states for humans to do? And to maintain some imaginary ideal of how dogs should look? This is how so many health problems in "purebreds" came about in the first place. You might be able to put a Band-Aid on one defect (the result of inbreeding), but continuing down this path is sure to create many more in the process.
I was amused to see you provided, as evidence, a link to Desert Wind Hounds and an article I read some time ago. This is the site of a woman who cross-breeds dogs with no concern for show ring conformation. I was going to say something, but I guess she already has:

This article reads like a rant on an amateur blog. So much bias with such broad, generalized statements and no supporting facts offer nothing to the reader. It was a complete waste of my time. If a writer is going to defend a stance on an issue, they should put a little work and research into it. The title of the article led me to believe that this was going to be an unbiased piece examining both sides of the argument. I was disappointed to find that it wasn't. Please note this is coming from a reader that is not for or against the AKC.

Once again another animal rights person, paints the world of purebred dogs and the American Kennel Club, with a paint mixed with biased emotion, and untruth. It is obvious that Mr. Brandow has never bred a dog and has zero knowledge as what goes into a happy healthy puppy. First of all , the AKC, does not set the standards, on how to breed dogs, the parent clubs own the standards to each breed, and it's members decide on how the standards are written. The AKC is a registry. They provide a number on a piece of paper, that says what breed it is, it's name and the name of the breeder. This allows a dog to compete in AKC sanctioned events. To say the AKC and the fancy is based on unsound breeding is an outright lie. There are thousands of caring people out there, that put their heart and soul into each and every puppy, and spend many dollars making sure they are bred well and wind up in good homes. The fact is Good breeders do genetic testing, and do breed out diseases. Mixes have just as many issues , but no one has any way of tracking it. It is so easy to point your finger at the AKC, but learn the truth, maybe get to know a breeder of merit, and you'll see that it is not what the uneducated, and biased animal rights would like you to believe.

I'd like to dispel a few more of the myths repeated to the point that people believe them.
First: You don't need to be "another animal rights person" to be against the AKC and puppy mills. I eat meat. But I do care about dogs (though I don't eat them) and I've taken part in raising and training a great many. Would I ever breed dogs? Certainly not when so many are being dumped and need homes.
You also don't need to be a breeder to know some important facts about genetics and poor health in pedigree dogs. Breeding within strictly closed registries (as the AKC and dog fancy demand you do) to maintain the whimsical traits we've come to accept as normal, to stay true to an archaic belief in "pure" blood (pure eugenics), or even to take a long shot at breeding for behavior, is not sound breeding. Never has been. Never will be. On the contrary, mixed-breed or out-crossed dogs have, on average, fewer health problems (ask the pet insurance companies) and they lead longer, better quality lives (read the many peer-reviewed scientific studies made public in the last decade and easily found on the Internet, or wait for my book). You can "track" congenital defects as long as you want, but it was the breeding within strictly closed registries that brought alarmingly high numbers of these about in the first place. This is why, strictly speaking, mutts are, on average, healthier than "purebreds." Picking and choosing the illnesses and deformities you are willing to tolerate in each breed (to "breed out diseases," as you say) is playing a dangerous and irresponsible balancing act (heard of recessive alleles? founder effect? popular sire effect?) that eventually leads to the sort of health crisis we're now seeing on both sides of the Atlantic.

DVD & Blu-ray review: Rise of the Guardians (PG)

Transform any home into a thoroughly modern palazzo with these locally woven, strikingly original Venetian linens. Whimsical cushions feature a chubby purple rhinoceros and grumpy scarlet elephants straight out of Pietro Longhi paintings, and hand-tasseled Venetian jacquard hand towels will dry your royal guests in style.
Wearable waterfalls and unpoppable soap-bubble necklaces are Venice style signatures, thanks to the Murano-born Sent sisters. Defying centuries-old beliefs that women can't handle molten glass, their minimalist art-glass statement jewellery is featured in museum stores worldwide, from Palazzo Grassi to MoMA.
Murano must be jealous: Santa Croce boasts the new studio-showroom of glass-making power couple Schantalle Menegus and Igor Balbi. Homes become castles with Igor's gossamer dragon goblets, poised for flight before you even finish your magic potion.
Burlesque dancers inspire curvy, red-hot wineglasses, crystal icebergs become champagne flutes and lagoon waters seem to swirl inside free-form, two-tone green and blue vases. Nason Moretti have been making modernist magic happen in glass since the 1950s, and the third-generation glass designers are in rare form in this showroom.
Gianni Basso doesn't advertise his letterpressing services: the clever calling cards crowding his studio window do the trick. Restaurant critic Gale Greene's title is framed by a knife and fork, and Hugh Grant's moniker appears next to a surprisingly tame lion. Bring cash to commission business cards, ex-libris, menus or invitations, and trust Signor Basso to deliver via post.
Booty worthy of pirates is displayed in this fishbowl-size window display: a constellation of diamonds in star settings on a ring, a tiny enamelled green snake sinking its fangs into a pearl, and diamond drop earrings that end in enamelled gold skulls. Though they look like heirlooms, these small wonders were worked on the premises by master jeweller Sigfrido.
Yes, you actually can take a gondola home in your pocket. Anyone fascinated by the models at Museo Storico Navale will go wild here, amid handmade wooden models of all kinds of Venetian boats, including some that are seaworthy (or at least bathtub worthy). Signor Penzo also creates kits so crafty types and kids can have a crack at it themselves.
Doyenne Emilia di Ammendola is a third-generation lace-maker and has passed on her skills to her son and daughter. You'll often find her son, Lorenzo, at the drawing board designing elaborate floral schemes, which are then brought to life by a team of local women.
Prison orange is out and plum silk velvet is in at this nonprofit boutique, whose hand-sewn fashions are the fruit of a retraining program at the women's prison on Giudecca. Designed and made by inmates, the smartly tailored jackets (€80 to €140) and handbags often incorporate opulent silks, velvets and tapestry donated by Fortuny and Bevilacqua.
At last the Sent sisters have opened their workshop in Murano, causing countless holiday hours lost in indecision. The two-storey space is as sleek as their jewellery: exposed-concrete walls, a double-height ceiling and white light streaming through the windows and setting signature pieces ablaze.
If you're lucky you'll find master glass engraver Luigi Camozzo sat at one of his diamond-point wheels etching painstakingly detailed scenes into all manner of glass objects.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A new document was made public Friday afternoon which indicates closer ties between Milwaukee Brewers' slugger Ryan Braun and a Miami clinic suspected of selling performance-enhancing drugs.
ESPN's "Outside the Lines" show revealed a handwritten list of four players, including Braun, purportedly written by clinic founder Tony Bosch last April.
The network cited a source saying the four received performance-enhancing drugs from Bosch, and they owed him money.
That list included Braun, Alex Rodriguez, Melky Cabrera, and Francisco Cervelli.
The list had the number $1,500 beside it. ESPN said it was the amount of money Braun owed Bosch."Outside the Lines" said the list is not definitive proof that Braun received or used PED's. Either would draw a new suspension.
Braun was first tied to Bosch's clinic in a recent Yahoo Sports report in which his name was on a different document that did not tie him to performance-enhancing drugs.
At that time, Braun said the clinic owner wanted $20,000 to $30,000 as a consulting fee – and there had been a dispute over that fee.
Braun reported to spring training Friday. Before the ESPN report came out, Braun had refused to answer questions about his earlier statement on his dealings with Bosch.
Celebrity attorney Martin Singer of Los Angeles told ESPN that Braun's name is on the new documents only because Bosch was asked to be a consultant in Braun's appeal from last year.
Two attorneys who represented Braun in that appeal – David Cornwell and Chris Lyons – refused to comment.
Braun repeated that he would cooperate with any investigation into the matter.
Major League Baseball is conducting a probe.

Secret Server to support theming in 4.0
One of the most requested features in Secret Server is theming. I have seen several customers skin Secret Server to fit their company's colors and logo. The only down side to that is, when Secret Server is updated, all of those nice changes were lost. A feature that we will be releasing soon is Custom Themes. It goes beyond just changing the style and images. We designed it to allow the administrator to create their own themes for Secret Server. The Administrator has the choice of allowing users to specify their own theme, or force a global theme. Here is a sample theme that we have been playing around with to prove that anything is possible!
We don't plan on actually shipping Secret Server with this theme

Valve Wants it Painted OrangeValve has announced that one of its in-store packaging plans for the Half-Life 2: Episode Two has been cancelled. The nixed concept--originally titled Half Life 2: The Black Box--was to be intended for players who already owned the previous titles in the series, and would have included only Half-Life 2: Episode Two (preview), Portal (preview), and the long-awaited Team Fortress 2. Instead, players looking for the game in stores will now be limited to The Orange Box, which will feature the full versions of both Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One.
"We're going to have one package, The Orange Box, available on the PC (US$49.99) as well as the 360 and PS3 (US$59.99)," said Valve's Doug Lombardi to IGN PC. "Those who purchase the PC version of The Orange Box will get three separate Steam product codes: One for the three new games, one for HL2, and one for Episode One. This way a PC Orange Box owner can give away their Half-Life 2 or Episode One unused Steam product codes if they don't need a copy of those games."
It is unknown whether this development will impact the Steam pricing models for the upcoming games. Shacknews has contacted Valve for more information, but had not yet received a response at the time of this printing.
