I've never really thought anything cropped was a good idea on me: I'm tall, and have always worried I'll look like the Hulk when he burst out of his clothes, or like I've been playing dress up in my nine-year-old cousin's closet. But seeing fellow tall girl Whitney Port in a cropped sweater ensemble is enough to make me wonder if going cropped can actually look cute on a bunch of different body types...
The way the top and shorts meet higher than usual, at Whitney's natural waist, is super flattering and slimming (not to mention it makes her legs look even longer than they already are!). Plus, beyond the figure-flattering aspects of the cropped top & high waisted bottom combo, it's also just really, really chic, right? There's something about those playful proportions that give the otherwise boring basics a bit of an edge..
Another upside to the cropped sweater? It's one of those rare things you can wear pretty much all year round (unlike the bikini I bought right after Labor Day, which made me feel like a kid with a new toy but no batteries) .
I love the idea of layering one in winter, and then rocking it with a pencil skirt for work in the spring.
What do you think, gals? Are you a fan of the cropped sweater, too? How would you wear it?

Through his engineering training at Sheffield Scientific School (Yale) he transformed Grove Farm from a small 900 acre struggling farm to a thriving sugar plantation which he incorporated as Grove Farm Company in 1921. His ingenuity and keen economic intuition helped him to develop a global-investment interest.Mabel I. Wilcox
The youngest child of Sam and Emma Wilcox's six children, she was determined to study nursing, to help with her mother's fragile health, and graduated from John's Hopkins Hospital School of Nursing in 1911. Shortly after graduation she served with the American Red Cross in France during the First World War. Both she and her sister Elsie saved the family history and homes as just part of their visionary legacy to Kauai.
Read about the History
Grove Farm museum's Sugar Plantation Locomotive Interactive Learning Park
Sugar cane was the chief agricultural industry on Kauai for over 150 years. Providing one of the last authentic experiences of Kauai's sugar cane heritage, Grove Farm continues today in its arrangement and operation as it did as a developing center of a 19th century Hawaii sugar plantation. Acquired in 1864 by George N. Wilcox, the son of missionary teachers, Grove Farm is a beautifully preserved one hundred acre homestead in the center of Lihue that includes the original plantation main house, owner's cottage, guest cottage, old office, as well as other resident and plantation workers' housing camp. The ongoing active household and farm with its animals, gardens, banana patches and pastures, maintain the same cleaning and agricultural schedules and practices that were established in the 1870's.

There are camera designs people tolerate in order to get the features and performance they want. Likewise, there are good-looking cameras that aren't necessarily the best performers. The Fujifilm XF1 falls somewhere in the middle, mixing an overall very nice design with solid photo quality and performance for its class.
The smallest of Fujifilm's X-series compacts, the XF1 is certainly styled to appeal to enthusiasts, with things like a fast f1.8 maximum aperture, raw capture, and semimanual and manual shooting modes. However, it's really a better fit for those who appreciate having those things, but will regularly shoot in auto modes and want to do so with a cool-looking, attention-grabbing point-and-shoot.
There's nothing wrong with that and the XF1 can be quite a lot of fun to shoot, especially if you like the idea of turning a camera on by twisting a lens barrel.
Picture quality
The XF1 has the same Fujifilm EXR processor and 12-megapixel 2/3-inch EXR CMOS image sensor as the higher-end (and older) X10 and the 26x megazoom X-S1. The sensor is larger than you would find in a typical point-and-shoot and fractionally larger than the 1/1.7-inch sensors in models like the Canon PowerShot S110.
The slightly bigger sensor buys you some extra flexibility when it comes to using ISO sensitivities above ISO 200. Subjects do lose detail and there are more artifacts visible when photos are viewed at full size, but it isn't until ISO 1600 that things look significantly softer at larger sizes.
Fujifilm XF1 sample picturesSee all photos
On the upside, if you can take advantage of the f1.8 aperture, you can shoot with less light without immediately needing to use higher ISO settings. You can also get better low-light results using modes that take advantage of the EXR sensor technologies, but they are, for the most part, automatic modes.
Colors are bright, vivid, and pleasing, but even in the camera's Standard color mode subjects look oversaturated. It may take a lot of adjusting of settings, shooting in raw (Silkypix software is included for working with the RAF file format, but Adobe Camera Raw supports the XF1), or experimenting with its EXR modes to get the best results. If that's not something you're willing to do, this probably isn't a good choice. Its EXR Auto mode is very good as auto shooting modes go, but even tweaking that mode's settings can get you better shots.
Video quality is good for Web clips or nondiscriminating TV viewing. There are some noticeable aliasing artifacts and colors, as they are with photos, are more pleasing than accurate. Detail is good, though, and the camera is quick to refocus if you use the zoom lens, and audio is clear and loud. If your video needs are just to capture the occasional 30-second clip, the XF1 is more than sufficient.
Shooting performance
Fujifilm lists some impressive performance numbers on the XF1 product page. While my lab tests didn't exactly match the listed speeds, they were close enough, which means that, yes, it's a pretty fast camera.
From off to first shot was just less than a second in my tests with the shot-to-shot lag clocking in at 1.2 seconds. Shooting in raw only bumped that up to 1.5 seconds. When using the flash, that time was a reasonable 2.5 seconds. The time from pressing the shutter release to capture -- without prefocusing -- was 0.3 second in both bright and low-light conditions.
Burst shooting at full resolution was 8 frames per second, which is faster than the 7fps Fujifilm claims. However, it noticeably drops off after six shots. Also, Fujifilm lists a burst speed of 10fps, but that's at a reduced 6-megapixel resolution. Shooting in raw slows the burst rate down to 6.3 seconds. Note: as with the burst modes on many compact cameras, focus and exposure are set with the first shot, so if you're tracking a moving subject there's a good chance not all of your photos will be in focus.

Sam is basically right, he's just cranky.
Hey, you've got some solid picks in there, mostly classic rock, it looks like. I would've thrown in some classic rock representation, but I assumed one of the criteria was that we had to actually own the album.

It was chaos at the pumps again!!! WTFFFFFFFF!!! Causing so much traffic jam!!! Can't get home fast enough to watch my latest episodes of 'Smallville' on my com!!! Petrol prices increased again?? Actually no, there was this wild rumor flying all over by SMS yesterday that petrol stations will be closed for 3 to 5 days to protest their non-increment in commissions. So we typical Malaysians panicked (as usual) and OOooopps, did it all over again. I'm not sure if KL were affected by this madness but here in Labuan and other major parts of East Malaysia, there was petrol-panic all over. My friend even went to the pumps on a motorbike and filled up 2 plastic bottles with petrol (is this even legal??!!) I wish sometimes everyone would just calm down and think first before panicking and not to cause other Malaysians like me to miss their favorite TV shows. GEEEEEEEEZZZZ PEOPLE!!!!!!
But in actually, the rumors were indeed quite true. I saw a quote from Charles Soong, the president of Sabah Petroleum Dealers Association on NST's website that read:
But in actually, the rumors were indeed quite true. I saw a quote from Charles Soong, the president of Sabah Petroleum Dealers Association on NST's website that read:
"The national association is asking the government to meet a few more requirements, including raising our commissions to an acceptable level and if that demand is not met, we plan not to sell fuel for eight hours tomorrow."
8 hours can easily turn into a few days can't it? So that's why people panicked. Sighhhhhhh. I thought life was about love, money and all that. Petrol is part of it too. How romantic.
I guess I'll just stay at home and blog about what happened to me in KL last weekend hehehe…..

|This article or section possibly contains previously unpublished synthesis of published material that conveys ideas not attributable to the original sources. (October 2014)
Millions of years ago, the Celestials performed genetic experiments on the reptilian ancestors of the Skrulls, resulting in three branches of Skrulls that eventually warred with one another. The Deviant branch—possessing the innate ability to shapeshift—were triumphant, and afterward wiped out all members of the other two races until only two were left: the Skrull Eternal, Kly'bn, and Prime Skrull of the original Skrull race. Kly'bn implored them to spare his life, as killing him would kill part of their heritage. The Deviants' leader, Sl'gur't, fell in love with him, with the two eventually becoming the gods of the Skrull pantheon. As Kly'bn could not change, Sl'gurt vowed to never keep the same shape for too long.[1] Prime Skrull escaped to Earth in the 20th century and later became a member of the Underground Legion.[2] From that point, the Skrulls began to expand their territory. The Deviant branch later split into two more groups, the modern Skrulls and an anomaly called the Dire Wraiths, a parasitic race that could still shapeshift and had use of magic, but were not as technologically advanced as the Skrulls.[3]
The modern Skrulls originate from the planet of Skrullos, and were originally a mercantile civilization, primarily interested in free trade and willing to share their technology with all races they deemed worthy. When they encountered a new race, they simply transformed themselves to resemble that race. The Skrull empire that resulted from these contacts was based on free trade and mutual cooperation. The empire is controlled by an emperor and each of the 978 worlds is controlled by a governor.
Kree-Skrull War
Eventually, the Skrulls developed long-distance space travel; a great tour of the universe was undertaken, led by Emperor Dorrek, and in a full decade of travel no civilization was encountered he deemed superior to the Skrulls. Finally, the Skrull delegation reached the planet Hala, home to the then-barbaric Kree and the peaceful Cotati, and held a contest to determine which of the races would represent Hala to the Skrull Empire. Seventeen members of each race were taken to different uninhabited planetoids where they were left with sufficient supplies for one year. At the end of that period, whichever group had done the most with themselves would be adjudged the most worthy. The Kree were taken to Earth's Moon where they built a great city while the Cotati were taken to another barren world in a different solar system and used their abilities to create a beautiful park. Realizing that the Cotati were going to win, the enraged Kree killed all the Cotati. When the Kree revealed that they had solved the question of who would represent Hala to the Skrulls by destroying their opposition, the Skrull delegates were appalled and vowed that Hala would forever be banned from their circle of favored worlds so the Kree massacred them as well, took over the Skrull landing spaceship by force, and developed their own technology from it.
Because of the immense distances involved, decades passed before the Skrulls learned of the Kree's activities. By this time it was too late. The Kree were now advanced and audacious enough to attack the Skrulls in their home galaxy. During the millennia that followed, the Kree aggression forced the Skrulls to become a militaristic civilization, and the Skrulls eventually developed the vicious streak needed to conduct intergalactic war. Their entire culture was remade in the warrior image. The Kree-Skrull War continued for thousands of years with only brief interruptions.[4] The Skrull Throneworld is later moved from Skrullos to the more central Tarnax IV, with their empire encompassing over fifty worlds.[5] The Skrulls also created the first Cosmic Cube, which later became the Shaper of Worlds; the Shaper related that, upon attaining self-awareness, he lashed out blindly, destroying two thirds of the Skrull empire and casting the civilization back into barbarism (suggesting this occurred before the war with the Kree broke out).[6]
The Kree Accuser Ronan had wrested control of the Kree Empire from the Supreme Intelligence and attacked the Skrulls, reigniting hostilities. The Avengers become involved once the Super Skrull kidnaps Captain Marvel, and in turn they battle a Kree Sentry robot, three of the original Skrulls that had fought the Fantastic Four, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, rogue Inhumans and legions of Skrulls. The Supreme Intelligence ends the immediate conflict by revealing to Avengers' ally Rick Jones that he has vast mental potential, which is then used to freeze all combatants in place. The Supreme Intelligence announces that, while the Kree and Skrulls have reached genetic dead ends, the human race displays incredible untapped potential.[7] It was revealed years later that the conflict produced a Kree-Skrull hybrid, Hulkling, who is the child of one-time lovers Captain Marvel and the Skrull Princess Anelle.[8]
Empire Changing Events
The Skrulls became aware of Earth when they discovered a space warp linking Earth and Throneworld. Later they discovered the Earth possesses an equidistant link to Hala. They see Earth as a world to conquer but they are content to hold off a full invasion. (Perhaps they are afraid the Kree would learn of the plot.) Because of their caution, the Skrulls have sent only a handful of scoutwarriors to infiltrate Earth, but fails to take into account the presence of the modern superhero.
In 1958, Skrulls attempted to sabotage Earth's space program. They battled 3-D Man, and set the Cold Warrior against 3-D Man.[9] Later a small scouting party used their shape shifting powers to impersonate the Fantastic Four, committing crimes so the country would turn against the Fantastic Four, the only ones with the power to stop them. But the Fantastic Four were able to locate the Skrulls and tricked their leaders into believing the Earth was full of threats. The fleet left and Mr. Fantastic made the Skrulls that were left behind shapeshift into cows and he hypnotized them to remember nothing about their true heritage.[10]
In retaliation the Skrull Emperor Dorrek VII dispatches Kl'rt, a Skrull known as the Super-Skrull, to Earth to defeat the Fantastic Four. Kl'rt possesses the powers of the entire Fantastic Four (in addition to shapeshifting and hypnotism), and he holds the team at bay until Mister Fantastic discovers the source of his power and uses a miniature device to jam the ray, before the Human Torch imprisons him inside a crater.[11] The Super-Skrull posed as the jailed Dr. Franklin Storm, after transporting him to the Skrull throneworld, and battled the Fantastic Four as the Invincible Man; another Skrull ultimately caused the death of Dr. Storm by attaching a bomb to his chest before he was transported back, although Storm turned to the floor, saving the Fantastic Four by using his body to shield them from the blast.[12] The Fantastic Four later travel to Tarnax IV and find the Skrull responsible for the murder of Susan and Johnny Storm's father (which turned out to be Warlord Morrat).[13] Skrulls were involved in other events such as sending the Super-Skrull to battle Captain Mar-Vell,[14] and abducting the Thing as a contestant in the Skrull Games.[15]
Later the cosmic being the Watcher adjudicates a duel between champions from both races: Colonel Bel-Dann of the Kree and Warlord Raksor of the Skrulls. After one year of conflict the duel remains deadlocked and is ultimately abandoned with no resolution.[16] Years later during a conflict with Xandar that included the Fantastic Four and the Champions of Xandar, Emperor Dorrek VII's wife, Empress R'klll, stages a coup and kills him to become ruling Empress.[17]
Empress R'klll's reign is short-lived, however, as the greatest blow to the Skrulls arrieves in the form of the World Devourer Galactus. After his Herald Nova annihilates the Skrull fleet, Galactus devours Tarnax IV, killing billions of Skrulls, including R'klll and the Princess Anelle.[18] With the destruction of the central government, the Skrull Empire has collapsed into hundreds of bickering factions. Their galaxy is filled with Governors who have declared themselves to be Emperor of the Skrulls and soon a civil war began. The Shi'ar maintain a heavy presence in the former empire as well, constantly dealing with packets of resistance.
Second Kree-Skrull War
Later Reed Richards discovered that yet another Governor-turned-Emperor, Zabyk, had created a genetics bomb, which, when it exploded made all the Skrulls lose their shape-shifting abilities. Whatever form they were in they were stuck in at the time of the explosion.[19]
In desperation, since without their shapeshifting powers they were vulnerable, they managed to kidnap the herald of Galactus, Nova, in an attempt to get Galactus to destroy Kree worlds for them. Their plot failed when the Silver Surfer helped Galactus rescue Nova in exchange for his freedom from Earth.
When the Celestials made an appearance, this scared the Skrulls into starting a second war with the Kree to show they were not powerless. The attack was first made by Kylor, one of five governors claiming to be Emperor. He had a spy in the Kree Empire, Nenora, who gave him the early edge. They tried to hide their secret weakness at all costs from the Kree.
Kylor was eventually betrayed by Nenora, as was the entire Skrull race. She assumed power of the empire and wished to keep it for herself. It was Empress S'byll who stepped up to control the Skrulls and finish the war. She was able to resurrect the Super Skrull and he returned to find the empire in shambles. They tricked the Silver Surfer into attacking a Badoon fleet, which he was not aware were allied with the Kree. Since the Kree waged war on the Surfer, he allied himself with the Skrulls to save Zenn-La from destruction.
To restore their powers, the Super Skrulls DNA needed to be transferred to S'byll, because only a female could spread the ability to the other Skrulls. The Surfer helped them to power a machine that would return the Empress' shape shifting abilities. The device was successful. With this power she was able to restore every Skrull she touched and became the true Empress of the Skrulls.
She and Super Skrull waged war with the Kree with the help of the Silver Surfer. She replaced Super Skrull with Captain Reptyl and he helped to change her into an emotionless reptile. But Reptyl was betrayed by one of his own and the Skrull fleet was utterly destroyed by the Kree. S'byll and Silver Surfer went alone to attack the Kree homeworld of Hala.
Gaining the knowledge that Nenora was actually a Skrull gave them the advantage. S'byll gave her shape-shifting abilities back to her, crippling her and showing the Kree her true self. A peace treaty was created.
The Skrulls eventually broke that peace treaty as they kept their military drive and prefer to fight rather than negotiate. Among the other races contained within the Skrull Empire are the Druff, Guna, Kallusina, Morani, Pheragot, Queega, Tekton, and Yirbek races. Other races remain independent, whether through treaties or open resistance. Such races include the Clegrimites, Gegku, Krylorians, Wilameanis, and Xandarians. The Skrull-Xandarian war with the Xandarians recently ended with the destruction of Xandar by the supervillainess Nebula.[20]
Other activities
Skrulls are meanwhile involved in numerous other activities. They were revealed to have conquered a medieval planet and abandoned it after its inhabitants perished.[21] Skrull Prime Ten battled the Fantastic Four and Captain Mar-Vell.[22] The Skrulls sent their own representative to witness the fate of the Phoenix, at her trial by the Shi'ar. There is a lone appearance of Queen Akilll of the Skrull.[23] A lone Skrull poisoned Vera Gantor to force the Avengers to seek the Resurrection Stone on his behalf.[24] The Skrulls sent their General Zedrao to give the dying Captain Mar-Vell the Royal Skrull Medal of Honor.[25]
A group of genetically-bred Skrulls called Warskrulls began infiltrating the Shi'ar Empire.[26] They used a Nexus Amplifier to assume total physical discorporation of their targets, adopting their super powers along with their physical appearance. They captured and replaced the Starjammers with members of their race as well as key components in government. The Warskrulls, acting under the direction of the paramount among them, posing as a Shi'ar called the Chamberlain, began committing murders and even genocide upon various Shi'ar affiliated races, such as the P!ndyr, in the name of the Shi'ar Empire. One Warskrull replaced the Imperial Consort, Professor X, called himself Warlord, and took mental control over Lilandra, the Majestrix of the Shi'ar. They were eventually defeated by the combined forces of Deathbird and the X-Men and later the Shi'ar vowed to weed out any other Warskrulls.[27]
Infiltrating Earth
Some time later a Skrull called Paibok mounts a campaign to invade Earth, using another Skrull called Lyja as an infiltrator. The plan involved secretly replacing the real Alicia Masters, The Thing's blind lover. The plan fell through when she instead seduced Human Torch and the two eventually married one another. The long running facade eventually came to light and the group discovered that the real, human Alicia was actually being held captive by the Skrull nation and Lyja defects, having fallen in love with the Human Torch. The Fantastic Four rescued her, but Lyja seemingly died in the process as she sacrificed herself to save Johnny when Paibok attacked.
Paibok later revealed to Devos the Devastator that she was still alive. Paibok, with the assistance of Devos, awoke Lyja from her comatose state, also bestowing her with the power to fly and fire energy blasts from her hands (becoming "Lyja the Lazerfist"). These powers were later revealed to come from a special device implanted into her. Joining them in search of vengeance, the three arrived on Earth, and isolated and battled the Torch at Empire State University. Panicking, the Torch burst into his Nova Flame and destroyed the campus. Alongside Devos and Paibok, Lyja witnessed a battle between the Fantastic Four and an alternate Fantastic Four. However, Lyja still bore feelings for the Torch and once again betrayed her cohorts to side with the Fantastic Four which ended with the Fantastic Four destroying the "Skrull War World", the Skrulls' largest attack ship.[28]
Cadre K
A group of Skrulls traveled to Earth where they began plotting to invade the planet once again. They were however at some point approached by Apocalypse who wanted to lure together twelve powerful mutants that he needs to ascend to godhood. At the same time, the body of the Living Monolith, who had been hurled out into the far reaches of space by Thor, is found and brought back to Earth. On Earth, a mutant Skrull named Fiz sneaked into Xavier's mansion to tell them urgent news of trouble: the Skrulls have allied themselves with someone powerful and the only thing he knows is that there are twelve mutants that can't be harmed and that something terrible is going to happen. Fiz also reveals the existence of a subtype of Skrulls that possess innate powers like the Earth mutants. Deemed outcasts by the others Skrulls, they were hunted by the Empire.[29]
After the eventual defeat of Apocalypse, Professor X left into space to train them, giving them the name Cadre K. Cadre K and Xavier returned to Earth during the Ruul's attempt to overtake the planet by turning it into an intergalactic prison. A wounded Z'Cann attempted to pass on vital information to Rogue. Their physical contact affected Rogue's powers for some time. The information was received and the X-Men were reunited with Bishop.[30]
The Skrull Empire is the first of the major interstellar empires to be invaded by the forces of Annihilus. The Annihilation Wave's superweapon, the Harvester of Sorrow, physically destroys dozens of Skrull planets.[31][32] In the aftermath the Skrulls unsuccessfully attempt to convince Hulkling to become their new Emperor.[8]
The Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire
A group of Warskrulls attacked a remote Shi'ar space station and took it over. Disguised as Shi'ar, they were taken aboard the space station willingly and slaughtered all those aboard except a few to keep working the ship. The group however was eventually defeated by a group of X-Men (Darwin, Havok, Marvel Girl (Rachel Grey), Nightcrawler, Professor X, Warpath). These Warskrulls are however revealed to be cyborgs.[33]
Secret Invasion
In the Secret Invasion series by Brian Michael Bendis and Leinil Yu, a flailing Skrull empire, under the leadership of newcomer Queen Veranke, makes an all-out effort to infiltrate and conquer Earth. A group of Skrull infiltrators first capture and replace many of Earth's heroes, and these infiltrators are later followed by the main assault group. This wave of Skrulls forms a new version of the Super-Skrull, with each possessing the abilities of several different heroes. Their invasion ultimately fails, costing the life of Veranke, and reducing their numbers even further.[34] Even their Gods are slain, and the Japanese God of Evil Amatsu-Mikaboshi takes over their Pantheon, leading to the events of Chaos War.[1]
Restablishing the Empire and Infinity
After the events of Secret Invasion, the Skrulls are now in smaller numbers and have since began plotting to rise back to power by orchestrating events for their benefits.[35]
During the Infinity storyline, several planets that the Skrulls settled on began being targeted by the Builders and while the Silver Surfer tried to save most of them, the Skrulls' population was once more decimated.[36] Kl'rt later represented the Skrull Empire as a member of the Galactic Council.[37] After the Avengers' victory over the Builders and Thanos, Kl'rt becomes the new Emperor of the Skrulls where they settle on Tarnax II.[38]
Appearance and abilities
|This article or section possibly contains previously unpublished synthesis of published material that conveys ideas not attributable to the original sources. (October 2014)
Skrulls are green-skinned reptilian humanoids with large pointed ears, red or green eyes, and chins with several vertical folds in the skin below their mouths. Skrulls are known for genetic and molecular instability, and genetic diversity, due to Celestial experimentation creating the Skrull "Deviants" (now the only surviving Skrulls). The Skrulls are known for their physical malleability and ability to shapeshift to any size, shape, or color at will, taking on the appearance but not the characteristics of other beings and objects within a volume range of .75 to 1.5 times the Skrull's original volume. Skrulls are able to assume virtually any form, be it organic (e.g., cows [10]) or inorganic (e.g., lamp [39]). As a result, the Skrulls excel at spying and infiltration. Skrulls are also able to use their shapeshifting abilities to form weapons (e.g., blades and clubs) with parts of their bodies, making them dangerous hand-to-hand combatants. Their sexual dimorphism is roughly the same of a human being, but their sexual orientation is more complex since they can change their genders at will. Indeed, Xavin once casually said that, for a Skrull, changing gender is comparable to a human being changing their hair color.[40]
The Skrulls later developed the ability to render themselves undetectable when using their shapeshifting abilities, even from telepaths and those with superior senses.[41][42] Reed Richards discovered a method to use technology to negate this ability and reveal a disguised Skrull's true form.[43]
Courtesy of their advanced technology, the Skrulls have also been able to augment their abilities in certain warriors, such as the Super-Skrull and War Skrulls—an elite group who with special encoding are able to emulate the powers as well as appearance of their templates.[44]
It is believed[by whom?] that Skrulls' eyes are incapable of subtle visual perceptions as those of Earth humans; Skrulls once mistook samples of drawn artwork for photographs.[10]

With its long, low profile and dynamic lines and surfaces, the S-Class Cabriolet showcases soft-top styling at its captivating best. Equally alluring with the roof raised or lowered, this is a car that simply demands to be driven. A range of eye-catching design elements includes OLED (organic light emitting diode) tail lights that create a unique lighting signature, while model-specific AMG bodystyling reflects the car's impressive performance. You'll also appreciate the powered soft-top roof, which offers outstanding acoustic and thermal insulation for long-journey comfort.
Sophisticated styling, exceptional comfort, and a wealth of high-end technology — these are the hallmarks of the S-Class Cabriolet's interior. Premium materials range from leather upholstery to a choice of elegant wood trims, while standard equipment includes a sporty 3-spoke steering wheel in nappa leather with intuitive Touch Control buttons. The impressive widescreen display is another highlight, along with ambient lighting and a Burmester® surround sound system. AIRSCARF neck-level heating and the AIRCAP wind deflector mean you can still enjoy top-down driving, even in cooler conditions.
Innovative OLED tail lamps are a new feature of the S-Class Cabriolet. The total of 66 ultra-flat OLEDs act like floating elements inside the tail lamp; in addition, they emit a highly homogeneous light pattern in all directions and form a unique day and night design. Locking and unlocking the vehicle is additionally emphasised by an animated dynamic light sequence with subsequent dimming-up of the tail lights.

The Social Network premiered at the New York Film Festival last night, and the celebrities in attendance were (mostly) dressed to impress, sticking to sleek suits and simple dresses.
I'm sure Katie Cassidy's dress was cute in person, but the creamsicle-colored top doesn't photograph very well, almost disappearing into the background.
The stars of the film, including Andrew Garfield (your new Spider-Man) all looked quite dapper.
Though I can actually hear you guys collectively asking Jesse Eisenberg to stand up straight.
Gina Gershon goes simple and chic.
Faye Dunaway's outfit was slightly more complicated.
Rashida Jones' dress is pretty adorable, no?
Kevin Spacey and
Michael De Luca Dana Brunetti producers of the film, both look quite sharp.
What do you think of the pink cutouts on Jane Krakowski's dress?
Brenda Song effectively pulls off that "gorgeous goddess" look.
And Mr. Timberlake brings it on down to red carpet ville.

A DOCTOR given a suspen-ded jail sentence for forging Viagra prescriptions is no longer employed by the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board.
Mansoor Mohammed Kassim is also being investigated by the General Medical Council, with a number of conditions on his practice licence.
The 37-year-old father-of-two was handed an eight-month sentence suspended for 12 months at Newport Magistrates' Court on January 9.
He was also told he would have to pay back close to £3,000 in compensation and costs to the NHS, after earlier pleading guilty to theft, fraud and forgery.
A spokesman for the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board said: "Mr Kassim is no longer working for the health board.
"He was working on a temporary contract which was due to end."
The Argus has previously reported how Kassim used made-up names of doctors and patients to fill out prescriptions for the drug sildenafil, better known as Viagra, while working at Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr hospital in Ystrad Mynach.
But staff at Pill Pharmacy in Commercial Road became suspicious as Viagra is not normally a drug prescribed in the trauma and orthopaedic department.
Handwriting analysis showed Kassim had written out the prescriptions,
A spokeswoman for the GMC said: "An investigation is ongoing, but there is no fitness to practice hearing scheduled at present by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS)."
The conditions on his licence prohibit him from prescribing any drugs, among other restrictions.
He must also confine his medical practice to National Health Service posts, where his work is supervised by a consultant.
In court mitigation, his actions were said to be "the most stupid thing he had done in his entire life".
Kassim, of Ilford in Essex, pleaded guilty to nine counts of theft, forgery and fraud between February 25 and October 24, 2013, at Caerphilly Magistrates' Court in December, when it was said marital difficulties led him to seek out the medication.
During this hearing, the court heard that Kassim was embarrassed to admit his problem to another doctor and faked the prescriptions.

The best part of working at BCG is that you can be creative, challenge conventional thoughts, and think out of the box.

This has tremendously helped me to grow as a better and more informed professional. BCG has provided me with a platform from which I can explore, enhance, and showcase my talents beyond legal facets.
It is the wonderful people at BCG that make this organization feel more like a family than a workplace. They instill confidence and faith in you to perform better. They put a spring in your step and propel you to go out there and perform your best.

I was given responsibilities with complete faith, and that made me feel more comfortable as a new person who joined the team.
