Vienna, Austria, and seven European locations
Focus: Fine and decorative art
Dorotheum began as the Vienna pawn and Query Bureau,? a government endeavor initiated in 1707 by the Holy Roman emperor himself. Over time, it evolved into one of the largest auction houses in Europe, eventually relocating to the Dorotheum palace and changing its name accordingly. The auction house was purchased by an Austrian consortium in 2001 and has since expanded its operations, holding some 600 auctions annually. The house's 2012 results were led by Lorenzo Lippi's Triumph of David, which shot past its high estimate of €150,000 to reach a final price of €869,800 on April 18, 2012, and an untitled blue mirror work by Anish Kapoor that realized €754,800 (est. €400–600,000) on May 24, 2012.

Integration Point Free Trade Agreement Management Software provides companies with a complete web-based platform allowing them to fully benefit from multiple free trade agreements on a global basis.
Free Trade Agreements
With over 300 preferential trade agreements now in place across the globe, the focus on reducing existing trade barriers, including lowered tariffs and the creation of more stable trading regions, has never been higher. Companies can take the steps necessary to benefit from the preferential rates and lowered trade barriers that come with free trade agreements (FTA).
The challenge, though, is that in order to leverage any trade agreement, let alone multiple trade agreements, companies are required to manage and maintain updated free trade agreement rules of origin, research each product classification number and qualification status, as well as obtain product information and certificates of origin from suppliers. These are time-consuming and daunting tasks when done manually.
For those companies looking to automate their current list of FTAs being managed, considering expanding the number FTAs managed, or wanting to implement a solution to better manage FTAs with an automated solution, Integration Point Free Trade Agreement Management Software significantly reduces the time needed to qualify goods for any free trade agreement.

Purchased at iHerb
I was diagnosed a couple of months ago with Hashimotos and told that it was irreversible. I immediately started using 3 tablespoons or 3 capsules of coconut oil along with Lugols Iodine. After only a couple of weeks my bloods showed that it was reversing and I was only borderline, on the good side. These capsules make it easy to keep this regime going when I don't make my daily smoothie so I can still get my coconut oil intake.

I have been a loyal iherb customer since about 2007 and there is a good reason why, they have consistently lower costs then their competitors online and off, amazingly fast/cheap shipping even with the free basic shipping. I have never waiter more then 4 days for any order. (I live in NJ USA) The NOW brand of supplements are high quality and generally much cheaper then their competitor. They also offer cheap powdered versions of most of their supplements when applicable which I enjoy because if you can handle the taste of some of the supplements without the capsules you get MANY more servings (I'm talking 30 servings compared to 100+ for powdered)for the same price. Now on to coconut oil,I used to consume the oil, but like many people the taste and even smell started to make me nauseous and I couldn't handle it anymore. I take it for inflammation in my knee which is completely alleviated when taking it. I also notice improvement in my skin and hair. It also is great for candida. After changing my diet to much lower carb and taking coconut oil I started noticing clumps of fluffy spongy like material in my stool which couldn't have been something I ate since my diet was devoid of bread or anything that would cause something like that. If you are on the fence about coconut oil or just don't like the taste this stuff is for you. True you don't get the same amount if you are consuming the oil but trust me even 2 to 5 capsules a day is more then enough for most people to get benefits from it.:)

After having read an article about coconut oil and alzhemier's I decided to buy this for my aunt. It has alredady, after only one month, made a difference in her memory and behaviour. Adding coconut oil to PS, neurozyme, alpha gpc, astragalus, rhodiola, ashwagandha, lion's mane and turmeric seems a good idea.

I had only taken one capsule (nowhere near the suggested 4-6 per day) when I started having alarming palpitations. Thank goodness I remembered another reviewer mentioning this, or I would have been running for the aspirin bottle and calling 911. It looks like I've wasted my money; I don't think I'll be brave enough to try these again!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Five years ago, I sat in a Wal-Mart at midnight waiting for this new MMORPG based on the Warcraft universe. My best friend and I were sure that the game would be popular, so we showed up two hours early to stand in line, on my birthday. We were the only ones who showed up.
We went home, more excited than we'd been for a while, opened our boxes (my friend bought a collector's edition,) logged in, and we've been playing ever since.
My paladin has been with me ever since that day, through the race to beat MC (We were on Shattered Hand, one of the top servers at launch,) lazy days 40-manning it through Molten Core, the introduction of ZG, the Hakkari plague, Burning Crusade (still got my tabard from the opening event,) tanking Kara, the introduction of dailies, The Zombie Invasion, Wrath, up to today.
Things I remember:
When crafted items meant something, then didn't, then did again.
When maximum sized raids of Horde and Alliance would duke it out for Doom Lord Kazzak. (and the nerfs that accompanied it)
When Mara was patched in (yes, it was a patch.)
When Dire Maul was patched in, and everyone was soooo happy that we had another 3 end-game 5-mans to run (Up from the 4 at the time.)
When warlocks were the scariest guys on two legs (and Doomgards killed a person when you summoned them)
When all of those places in the old world that were full of Elites got nerfed.
Furbolg rep.
I continue to play to this day, and likely will play long into the future. LONG LIVE WORLD OF WARCRAFT.

A menu (menu: A list of commands that is displayed when you click a menu name on a menu bar or other toolbar.) displays a list of commands. Some of these commands have images next to them so you can quickly associate the command with the image. Most menus are located on the menu bar (menu bar: The horizontal bar below the title bar that contains the names of menus. A menu bar can be the built-in menu bar or a custom menu bar.), which is the toolbar at the top of the screen. Toolbars can contain buttons, menus, or a combination of both.
Menu bar
Menu command
Displaying only the commands and buttons that you use
Microsoft Office automatically customizes menus and toolbars based on how often you use the commands. When you first start an Office program, only the most basic commands appear. Then, as you work, the menus and toolbars adjust so that only the commands and toolbar buttons you use most often appear.
Displaying all the commands on a menu
To look for a command that you don't use often or have never used before, click the arrows at the bottom of the menu to show all the commands. You can also double-click the menu to expand it. When you expand one menu, all of the menus are expanded until you choose a command or perform another action. When you click a command on the expanded menu, the command is immediately added to the short version of the menu. If you do not use the command often, it is dropped from the short version of the menu.
Positioning toolbars on the same row
Toolbars can be positioned next to each other in the same row. For example, the Standard toolbar is positioned next to the Formatting toolbar when you first start a Microsoft Office program. When you put multiple toolbars in the same row, there might not be enough room to display all of the buttons. If there isn't enough room, the buttons that you have used most recently are displayed.
Seeing all of the toolbar buttons
You can resize to display more buttons, or you can show all buttons on a toolbar. To see a list of buttons that won't fit on a built-in, docked toolbar (docked toolbar: A toolbar that is attached to one edge of the program window. When you drag a toolbar below the program title bar or to the left, right, or bottom edge of the program window, the toolbar snaps into place on the edge of the program window.), click Toolbar Options at the end of the toolbar. When you use a button that is not displayed on the toolbar, that button is moved to the toolbar, and a button that has not been used recently is dropped to the Toolbar Options list.
Customizing menus and toolbars
You can customize menus and toolbars yourself; you can add and remove buttons and menus on toolbars, create your own custom toolbars, hide or display toolbars, and move toolbars. You can customize the menu bar the same way you customize any built-in toolbar (built-in toolbar: A toolbar included with Microsoft Office programs; it is not created by the user.) — for example, you can quickly add and remove buttons and menus on the menu bar — but you can't hide the menu bar.

Must Read: If you are going through a foreclosure or know someone that is facing that hardship, then this is a must-read article at usawatchdog.com. The article is about how bankers are still not looking at the paperwork before foreclosing on homes! Always demand to see the paperwork and verify it is legal.
Drought: Over at drought.gov drought.gov it clearly shows that Texas is still struggling with water issues. A good portion of New Mexico is also suffering from the Summer heat. This is a good time to remember NOT to water your lawn. It is perfectly natural to let the grass turn brown, and it'll come back with the rain.
Survival skills: www.trackerspdx.com is conducting a four-day wilderness Survival training, going on August 4-7. If you want to spend less money or only have a few hours, they have 3 hour "taster" courses.
Lesson Learned or Not: Robert Wible wrote a good article about lessons that were still not learned by government officials after traumatic events. Go to www.emergencymgmt.com for the full story. We need to start being proactive after these events instead of being in constant reactive mode.
Solar Activity: This comes directly from spaceweather.com "Sunspot 1261 has a "beta-gamma-delta" magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares"
Time to kill: If you find yourself bored or have time on your hands, swing by Sciencedaily.com. The article, "Fire Brings Communities Together and Increases Trust in Government" www.sciencedaily.com talks about how communities set aside the distrust of local government in times of need.

NESThe Video Game Critic
This relentless vertical shooter is similar to 1942, but far more intense! Your P-40 fighter plane has modest firepower initially, but is also equipped with bombs that can decimate large areas at a time. The jungle and sea scenery are plain but attractive, and the music is absolutely terrific. The action begins slowly but ramps up in a hurry, with enemy missiles approaching from land, air, and sea. Shooting down a squad of eight red planes produces a power-up that incrementally increases your firepower. Going after these power-ups is a risky proposition, and some might even call it "glory seeking". One good piece of advice is to avoid the corners at all costs! Sky Shark is difficult but not insurmountable, and it keeps you coming back for repeated punishment. The only thing lacking is a two-player simultaneous mode.
AmigaACE (Advanced Computer Entertainment)
A straight port-over of the ST version, so it is just as impressive. Fabulous graphics and very demanding wave patterns. The sound effects and music were so good that they haven't had to be changed much either.
ZX SpectrumACE (Advanced Computer Entertainment)
With so much ground detail it can be a little difficult to see the enemies bullets - sometimes you're left wondering what hit you. Sound is limited to spot effects (naff) and the odd tune (good) but that doesn't detract from the games sheer playability.
ZX SpectrumACE (Advanced Computer Entertainment)
Good graphics, good gameplay, what more do you need in a shoot-em-up?
ZX SpectrumThe Games Machine (UK)
Although the playing area is monochromatic, the drawing is so highly detailed, using effective shading to highlight the different terrain, that it wins out. A problem with other mono scrolling shoot-'em-ups, that of the bullets blending with the background so they become hard to see, is overcome in Flying Shark by making them large and so simple to spot. It is also more playable than the Commodore version, with more fair levels of difficulty.
ZX SpectrumComputer and Video Games (CVG)
Wiping out the blue planes gives you the chance of an extra life. And that's basically the game. It's ever onwards into the wide blue yonder. Finger on the button.
Amstrad CPCThe Games Machine (UK)
For Amstrad-owning fans of the arcade original, it comes highly recommended, and even for those who don't know the Taito game, it should still prove to be one of the better blasts on the Amstrad.
Amstrad CPCACE (Advanced Computer Entertainment)
Rather slower than the Spectrum version and not a great deal more colourful, this one's still entertaining stuff as vertically shoot-em-ups go. The bullets could have been made a little easier to see, but you can't have everything.
Atari STThe One
Flying Shark on the ST features detailed and colourful backdrops and sprites accompanied by functional effects and music. What we have here is a fairly accurate interpretation of a derivative but playable coin-op which drops on US Gold's conversion of 1943 from a few thousand feet.
Atari STComputer and Video Games (CVG)
So - to buy or not to buy? If you were crazy about the coin-op then definitely yes. This is a more than competent conversion. If, however, you are just looking for a good scrolling shoot 'em up for your ST then I would consider Xenon by Melbourne House instead. It has the edge in playability and graphics.
Commodore 64Datormagazin
Ett bra spel för folk som tycket om shoot'em-up-spel som inte är så rysligt snabba. Tilläggas bör att jag tycker det är väldigt tråkigt att Firebird inte lade in tvåspelaresmöjligheten även i 64:a-versionen.
Commodore 64The Games Machine (UK)
The attractive coloured graphics make Flying Shark pleasing to play at first. But after a few attempts, frustration seeps because playability is sometimes unfairly tough, and new enemy squadrons appear infrequently enough that building extra fire power is difficult. A shame, because the competent programming means the graphics and sound work to good effect. If only the playability could have been tweaked to match the quality of the Spectrum version, Flying Shark could have made an first-rate game.
Commodore 64ACE (Advanced Computer Entertainment)
If you've played the arcade or Spectrum versions of this game, then the C64 version may disappoint. The gameplay has suffered through being speeded up dramatically. This only detracts from the game, and your interest will die that much sooner.
AmigaCommodore User
This is a sort of game which holds few surprises. Five levels, icons for extra lives, extra smart bombs and so on. Flying Shark is aiming at quality rather than originality. Given its crisp graphics and addictive gameplay, it would be a game to recommend – especially considering the weakness of some similar conversions – if it were not for some serious niggles.
Commodore 64Happy Computer
Kein sehr geistreiches Vergnügen, aber kurzweilig und auf dem C 64 gut programmiert. Was sich da an Sprite-Getümmel abspielt, ist sehenswert.
AmigaThe Games Machine (UK)
Comparisons with the ST are inevitable, but the game remains just as challenging. The concept is dated but it provides simple, enjoyable and addictive gameplay.
Commodore 64Power Play
Flying Shark bietet auf dem C64 viel Scrolling, viele Sprites und Action satt. Kein sonderlich intelligentes Spiel, aber zum Abreagieren gut geeignet.
NESAll Game Guide
Sky Shark is a very good game for shooter fans who aren't looking for something unique or overly complicated. It's a good translation of a fun arcade game that will provide hours of enjoyment for those with quick reflexes and a happy trigger finger.
NESNintendo Power Magazine
Navigate carefully as you only have four planes to complete the mission. Your ammo is unlimited. Bombs cover a wide range and can take out a lot of enemies. However, you only have three bombs per plane, so use them wisely. "Safe journey, Shark." A challenge even for experienced aces!
Commodore 64Commodore User
Flying Shark on the 64 is one of the better coin-op conversions available - though certainly not in the same league as Bubble Bobble.
As arcade conversions go, this is rather weak, but as shoot 'em ups go, it isn't too bad. Once you've got over the fact that Firebird hardly seem to have bothered how accurately they've converted the game, it's quite enjoyable to play. It is a little unfair at times, though – especially when you lose a life to a team of fighters pumping bullets in all directions – but you soon learn the tactics to overcome this. A high price for an average conversion.
Commodore 64Computer and Video Games (CVG)
Wiping out the blue planes gives you the chance of an extra life. And that's basically the game. It's ever onwards into the wide blue yonder. Finger on the button.
NESElectronic Gaming Monthly (EGM)
Sky Shark has great background detail with little screen flicker. Even with these positive features it's just another 1943-type flying and shooting game. Nothing extraordinary, but a solid, well-playing game nonetheless.
Amstrad CPCPower Play
Vertikales Scrolling ist nicht gerade eine CPC-Stärke. Das sieht man dem Spiel auch an, das recht langsam scrollt. Von der superschnellen Action des Automaten bleibt da nicht allzuviel übrig, obwohl sich die Programmierer Mühe gegeben und relativ viel aus der Hardware geholt haben. Im Gegensatz zur spannenden C64-Umsetzung macht die Schneider-Version aber nicht sonderlich viel Spaß. Ein langsames Action-Spiel hat's nicht leicht im Leben.
Atari STRetrogaming History
Desiderare una valida conversione di Flying Shark su Atari ST non equivaleva a voler la luna nel pozzo. Titoli realizzati negli anni di avanzata maturità del sistema dimostrarono in pieno che un coin-op con tali caratteristiche poteva essere dignitosamente riprodotto anche su un hardware non customizzato come quello del 16 bit Atari. Purtroppo il porting dell'arcade hit Taito / Toaplan fu affidato ad un team di non particolare rilievo in un periodo in cui l'ST non era ancora pienamente valorizzato in ordine a questo genere di titoli. In questa conversione un grave errore di valutazione degli sviluppatori unito ad un coding poco efficiente hanno contribuito a snaturare e compromettere la giocabilità dell'coin-op facendo, così, precipitare questo Flying Shark in versione ST come un Curtiss P-40 abbattuto dalla contraerea nemica

The Fujitsu Stylistic S01 is designed for seniors with a new look for Android that anyone can use.
Pricing not available
Despite admirable performance and good battery life, an uninspiring screen, terrible keyboard and high price keeps us from recommending the U772 to either consumers or businesses.
Typical price: $2,488.00
The SH771 is a decent laptop that provides power and flexibility thanks to its full complement of ports, battery options and weight-saving features.
Typical price: $2,188.00
Businesses with very specific Windows 7 tablet needs may find some value in the Q550, but it's a very slow performer at a serious asking price that is otherwise easily passed over.
Typical price: $1,688.00
Fujitsu's convertible tablet has a strong business focus, but businesses on a tight budget may wish to look elsewhere.
Typical price: $1,599.00
The AH530 cuts a striking figure due to its colour scheme, but there's just been one too many corners cut, especially in terms of battery life.
Typical price: $1,139.00
The LH530 is one step up from entry level — it's a capable laptop that Fujitsu has cut some corners on to keep costs down. If your needs aren't that great, you could do much worse than having one of these; but if you want greater flexibility, you're going to have to spend a bit more.
Typical price: $999.00
The SH560 is a light, portable laptop that sits comfortably in the mid-range field. We'd love to see more RAM in there and better speakers, but everything else makes sense. For more power in the same package, check out the SH760.
Typical price: $1,699.00
Fujitsu's LifeBook SH530 is a competent performer, and portable enough to lug about as a medium-level productivity machine. Just don't expect the battery to last too long.
Typical price: $1,399.00
With a thick chassis and features that don't rise above the pack, the Fujitsu M2010 will have a hard time breaking through the clutter of less-expensive systems.

A word from Harry Cipriani
Harry Cipriani is located at 59th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City. This fashionable restaurant is almost an exact duplicate of the original Harry's Bar in Venice. It is packed daily with chic New Yorkers and visitors from all over the world. Harry Cipriani offers the classic Harry's Bar menu of unique Cipriani specialties and classic Italian favorites. Service is superb; and whether you are a regular with your "own table" (many customers have lunch or dinner at Harry Cipriani every day!) or a first time guest, you are received with warmth and enthusiasm.Continued

- Tired and DatedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/16/2014With so many restaurants near by, don't bother with this tired and dated spot. Average food, way over priced and tables packed very embarrassingly close together.
- great dinnerdescafeinadaDined on 9/12/2014Had a great time, the place is lovely and food was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic*****AngelKimberlyDined on 9/9/2014From the moment that you arrive your experience is amazing!!! Wonderful service, energy in the room is fantastic, the food is heavenly and the service is out of this world!!! The vanilla cake is my very favorite! I can not wait to return. We dined three times in our four days in New York. Yummy!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Total Experience Fell Short!Critic4gfoodVIPDined on 8/30/2014I so wanted this dinner experience to meet the overall cost of the meal, starting with the Maitre d who did not appear receptive when we arrived. We started with the calamari appetizer, followed with baked chicken, a Harry's Bar Classics, and grilled salmon. I give the total experience a 6 out of 10. We will not return. The service does not measure up to cost of the meal, which is extremely important to me.Special Features:
- It's Just IdealLuxuryDinerDined on 8/28/2014I try to eat at Harry Cipriani's every time I'm in New York. The menu goes on and on, but I look forward to a Bellini, the Baby Artichoke and Avocado salad and the Veal Milanese. These are spectacular. I've never seen the salad elsewhere and, while Veal Milanese is a pretty common item, Cipriani's consistent perfection isn't at all common. I make my desert choice on what looks good at the moment. The service is always first rate. Nowadays, it seems like there's always a question that the server at another restaurant isn't prepared to answer. This doesn't happen at Ciprani's. They know. And it all seems to take place in the first class dining room of a 1950s luxury liner slipping silently between Europe and New York.Special Features:
- A landmark but annoying serviceVicvicDined on 8/26/2014Excellent place, delicious food, amazing scene, but,.... the waiters have a terrible attitude. Starting with the fact that they "pretend" to be Italians and followed by the fact that they have the illusion of being more important than their guests makes the experience short of impeccable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A NYC treasure!KeithDined on 8/20/2014my wife and I never miss a visit to Harry Cipriani's when we visit NY. A wonderful NY experience!Special Features:

- Surprisingly goodlondondubaiVIPDined on 8/1/2014Having had a bad experience in Cipriani in London years ago I was surprised about the quality of Harry Cipriani in New York. The crowd was an eclectic mix of locals, bohos and tourists. Service was efficient and swift but pleasant, the food was good. We had the burrata which was delicious, there was a variety of fresh breads and my husband's halibut was delicious. I had the scampi in curry, maybe not the best choice to have in an Italian restaurant. The cakes for dessert looked all very tempting but we skipped dessert this time. The tables were a little bit cramped at the front of the restaurant where we were sitting. Towards the back they were spread out a little bit more. Not cheap, but you wouldn't expect that in a place like that.I would recommend this to a friend.
- A list lunchTamTechHaxDined on 7/17/2014Met some friends for a business lunch and was impressed with all the other notables also meeting for a business lunch. Power lunching at it's finest with impeccable service, wonderful bread and varied menu. My guest had the chicken sandwich and said it was fantastic, my chicken salad was a bit bland, but fresh with lots of chicken. Sadly we did not stay for dessert, but the tray looked excellent. Will go back in the future, eating lunch in such a lovely area can be addictive.Special Features:

- disappointedEnnaDined on 7/11/2014When the appetizer is just good and both main courses are dull, one starts to wonder what the reputation of this place is based upon. Beautiful crowd is certainly not enough.
- Great food, regular servicelvillanuevaDined on 6/30/2014Food at Harry Cipriani is increible! Definitely one of the best kitchens in NY. The service is OK. The restaurant is constantly packed so it makes it tough on the waiters who even have to make time to plate your food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Houston1951OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/30/2014The Regulars, and there were many, were seated at the front. The tourists were seated way to the back of the restaurant. The Regulars all seamed to know each other, and the staff knew them, too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Astronomical Prices, Attitude!!!fififliesVIPDined on 6/22/2014Our second visit to Harry Ciprani. First visit was vastly different from our most recent visit. Service was excellent and food better. This time we had a very arrogant server who did not listen to our orders and then argued when he brought the incorrect item. Prices are way too expensive for the quality of food--even for NYC. Salads start at $20, desserts (simple cake selections or ice cream/gelato) at $15. Cocktails, as well, are expensive for quantity--tiny martini at $22. Perhaps at one time this was the place to go, but there are so many other better restaurants with better services at more reasonable prices one should not bother to try Harry Ciprani.

- Off night at great placeAlwaysTryingDined on 5/31/2014A bit of an off night at Harry Cipriani's. Normally one of our favorite dining spots and we have dined there many times and usually receive a warm welcome as a repeat guest. Upon arriving we were seated at a table in the front; then approached by the new person manning the reception area and asked to move to the worst table in the restaurant in front of the door because the table we were seated at was reserved. We did not move. The initial contact by the wait staff was brusque at best. Once we ordered and added cocktails and wine, service improved greatly. I was surprised our waiter went off shift during dessert and did not approach the table and turn us over to someone else. After he left, service essentially stopped.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, good service.DanielVIPDined on 5/31/2014Having tried the other Cipriani restaurants in NYC, I was looking forward to dinning in this one. It's as good, if not better, than the ones downtown and at Grand Central. For the most part, service was good. (There was only one incident of forgetting my beverage order.) Food wise, we were all satisfied. The homemade deserts were interestingly and tasted good. However, when you consider that the dinner costed close to a grand for four adults and one 7 yr old (we ordered a $200 wine), this is quite expensive.Special Features:
- The following 328 reviews are from the Harry Cipriani reviews archive.
- Stay away!DrBranchVIPDined on 5/24/2014Stay away is the best advice I can give you. I have attended a fair amount of private events at the flagship Cipriani. Unfortunately, this one is attached to a not-so-great hotel. So you get the overflow from the hotel---tourists dressed in casual wear (shorts, jeans etc.). On the evening that we dined, it was filled with loud and obnoxious children. The service was so disconnected. We had multiple waiters who couldn't keep up with what the other waiter was doing. The food was, at best, a two star experience. However, the prices were definitely five star. There are so many great restaurants in NYC for that price point. My $28.00 starter salad was corn poured from a can, sliced cucumbers and a few cherry tomatoes.
- Stuffy and overpricedmattg8VIPDined on 5/24/2014The food was good, the drinks are about $20, and it is the least relaxed place to eat in the city unless you just like that kind of stuck up atmosphere.
- ExcellentLuNiederauerDined on 5/19/2014The service, food, staff and ambient are so friendly, softly and each client is VIP!! Congrats!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go for an Classic NYC experienceRobRoyVIPDined on 5/17/2014Given the prices, there are far better restaurants on the Upper East Side to choose from. What Harry's has going for it, is its iconic status on the corner of Central Park. It is a mix of old money New Yorkers, new money New Yorkers that want to look old money, and tourists. The food and service is average, particularly given the prices, but it is still a place everyone should go at least once.Special Features:
- Not in line with expectationsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/17/2014We looked forward to a special dinner on a special day. Our expectations were not met. Service was without personality and confusing. Wine recommendations were difficult to get. When we complained on one of our main courses, there was no response. The prices are high but neither food nor service are on par with prices.Special Features:
- Very good italian foodPerpetuaDined on 5/15/2014I love this place. Food is always good and the portions are generous. You are always treared nicely by the maitre D. Some of the personnel are a little rough, unless they know you or you are " part of the frequent crowd that visits the restaurant". Overall very goodSpecial Features:

- Pasta cooked without saltAriesVIPDined on 4/22/2014We ordered the grilled pasta which we have eaten many times in this restaurant. This time the Cheff forgot to put salt in it, so our 4 main courses were tasteless!! Also the Vitello tonnato was dry, thick and presented in a bread plate. Simply unacceptable in a restaurant that expensive
- below expectationsMarianaDined on 4/22/2014Service and ambiance is good, but food although the quality is not fenomenal. Does not make us want to comeback. Overpriced on the food.Special Features:
- Extremely Pricey for the QualityOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/19/2014Expected a lot for from a 80 dollar per person dinner... food was ok but not as good as it should have been. Noise, waitresses complaining to each other.... not good.
- Always a winnerNorwegianGirlDined on 4/19/2014I make sure to visit Cipriani whenever I'm in New York - either to just drop in for one of their delicious signature bellinis, or for a long lunch. The waiters are so friendly, and the atmosphere is great. I will, without a doubt, keep my tradition and come back the next time I'm in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Manage your book collection with the Alexandria collection manager
As your book collection grows, you might lose track of your volumes. Alexandria lets you catalog your tomes quickly and easily without a pesky database server.
Even modern electronic media, such as ebooks on the Internet, have not been able to force the printed book off the market thus far. But, bibliophiles tend to lose track of their steadily growing collections over the course of time, and this makes the use of an electronic filing system a good idea. Thanks to Linux and a small program named Alexandria, you can quickly and easily bring order to your collection. The program is also suitable for managing collections in small libraries because it supports entry of new arrivals with a barcode scanner and also has a lending function.

In the fall of 1990, some 25 students joined Diana Eck for a course at Harvard University on "World Religions in New England." Each week, the class would divide into teams to visit religious communities in the Boston area and then meet to discuss what we had learned. From Sri Lakshmi Temple, located close to the starting point of the Boston Marathon, to New England's first mosque, established in the shadows of the cranes of Quincy's shipyards, we began to discover and document a religious landscape being transformed before our eyes. The guidebook World Religions in Boston: A Guide to Communities and Resources grew out of this initial research.
Based on our findings in Boston, we set out to investigate more broadly the changing religious landscape of other American cities, and to consider the implications of this more complex religious landscape for American public life. From the beginning, it was clear that diversity alone does not constitute pluralism. Pluralism requires a degree of engagement with our diversity and the knowledge — both of others and of ourselves — that such engagement brings. And so, in 1991, the Pluralism Project was born.
The Pluralism Project engaged the best energies of Harvard students from both the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Divinity School in "hometown" research in such cities as Denver, Houston, and Minneapolis. Some had a more specific focus: Hindu summer camps in Pennsylvania, Vietnamese Buddhist struggles with zoning laws in California, the annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America in Kansas City, or the history of the Interfaith Conference of Metropolitan Washington, D.C. Each year, during the subsequent fall semester, the researchers presented their work at a Pluralism Project research conference. And for one semester each year, all the researchers participated in a working seminar to revise their research into substantial papers.
Beginning in 1994, a team of students from Harvard University worked toward the production of a multimedia CD-ROM. We expanded the scope of our work to cover key cities across the country, to include the many other religious traditions of the United States, and to explore the historical and contemporary challenges posed by religious diversity. In 1997, On Common Ground: World Religions in America, was released by Columbia University Press . The CD-ROM serves as an introduction to the new religious landscape of America, from a Cambodian Buddhist temple set amidst the farmlands of Minnesota, to a multiethnic storefront mosque on a sloping San Francisco Street. On Common Ground makes the findings and insights of the Pluralism Project available to teachers, students, researchers, and religious leaders in a dynamic, informative, inviting, and data-rich multimedia format.
The CD-ROM has three main sections: "Exploring the Religious Landscape" provides portraits of some 300 communities of faith in 18 cities and regions of the United States, including mosques, gurdwaras, churches, and temples. "Discovering America's Religions" includes an introduction to fifteen religious traditions in the American context, from Afro-Caribbean traditions to Zoroastrianism. "Encountering Religious Diversity" looks at the ways America has responded to religious difference historically, and studies the current challenges as communities, schools, and public institutions take stock of America's new religious diversity. On Common Ground received considerable critical acclaim, and a number of awards; it received the EDUCAUSE Medal in 1998, cited as "an extraordinary resource" and a "pioneering work." The CD was a Media and Methods 1998 Awards Portfolio winner; on Choice's 35th Annual Outstanding Academic Books list; and a finalist for the 1998 EdPress Distinguished Achievement Award. These achievements are a credit to the efforts of our students, academic advisors, and staff, especially Susan Shumaker and Terry Rockefeller.On Common Ground 2.0, an updated web-based version of the On Common Ground resource is slated to launch in 2012.
As we completed the CD-ROM, we also began developing an online presence with our website, pluralism.org. This site, first launched in December 1996, began as an online flyer for the Project; over the years, the site has emerged as our most important tool for outreach and education. In 2003, the Pluralism Project website was named "Best of the Web" in the Spirituality category at the 7th Annual Webby Awards. Webby Award nominees are judged on six criteria: content, structure and navigation, visual design, functionality, interactivity, and overall experience. This award is a tribute to the hundreds of individuals who have contributed to the work of the Pluralism Project and to the richness of resources we are able to offer online; it also recognizes the efforts of our Webmaster, Alan Wagner, who has worked on the site for more than a decade. The Pluralism Project website was re-designed and re-launched in November of 2006.
One of the key resources of the Pluralism Project website is Religious Diversity News which began in 1997 to track news articles related to religion in multireligious America. The Pluralism Project newsfeed highlights media coverage of interfaith relations and issues related to religion in the public square, with a special emphasis on Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, Muslim, and Sikh communities in the United States. In 2003, Religious Diversity News expanded its coverage to multireligious societies around the world. Today the Pluralism Project staff compiles Religious Diversity News from major newspapers and regional media, as well as from ethnic media and religious advocacy organizations. The Religion Diversity Newsfeed enabling subscribers to view updated article listings several times a week. The Religious Diversity News archive (which ran from 1997-2011) is available Religion Diversity News Archive. News articles in the RDN Archive are searchable by tradition, key themes, state or country, and date. Key themes cover a range of topics, including: religion in public life; statistics on religious identification; religious discrimination and accommodation; and women and gender relations.
Shortly after the release of On Common Ground and the creation of our website, we extended our research on America's new religious landscape by engaging affiliate religion departments, theological schools, and researchers in the work of the Pluralism Project. Mini-grants enabled professors and departments to involve themselves and their students in research on the changing religious life of their own city or region, with special attention to the new presence of Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Sikh, and Zoroastrian religious communities. This work further expanded our geographic reach and extended the impact of the Pluralism Project.
Since 1998, we have hosted annual gatherings of the Pluralism Project at the American Academy of Religion (AAR). In 2011, we celebrated the Pluralism Project's twentieth anniversary at our reception at the AAR in San Francisco with over 100 guests. These receptions bring together many former student researchers who are now leaders in the field of religious studies, along with advisors, affiliates, and other friends of the Project. We provide opportunities for informal exchanges among students and scholars in disparate but related fields of study, and highlight new and innovative research being conducted by our affiliates. The AAR is also an opportunity for us to share with our colleagues the exciting new initiatives we are undertaking at the Pluralism Project. In addition, we have hosted bus tours for scholars of religion in many of the host cities.
In 1999, we hosted two groundbreaking consultations on multireligious America, where for the first time, activists and representatives of diverse advocacy groups shared a common table. Long-established Jewish and Christian organizations were represented, as were their counterparts in the Hindu and Muslim communities. Representatives from major advocacy groups, such as the ACLU, the Freedom Forum, and the NCCJ participated alongside representatives from Baha'i, Buddhist, Jain, Native American, Sikh, Wiccan, and Zoroastrian communities. The first "Consultation on Religious Discrimination and Accommodation" was held in May 1999 at Harvard University and was followed a "Symposium on Civil Society and Multireligious America," in November 1999. The second meeting took a broader look at the issues of civil society, included a panel on public and private schools, and involved representatives from the White House, the Armed Forces Chaplains Board along with some of our affiliates and advisors.
Among the many outgrowths of these symposia were a greater awareness of the importance of teachers on the front lines of pluralism, and the need to highlight women's voices in the context of religious diversity. In 2000, the Pluralism Project hosted a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar for Schoolteachers. The seminar, on "World Religions in America," brought together teachers from across the United States and from a range of disciplines and subject areas to explore together the new religious diversity of the United States. Through seminars, field trips, and informal gatherings, we learned alongside these teachers, who represented some of the strength and diversity of American educational systems. Participants included an African American Muslim educator from Atlanta; a Brother from a West Philadelphia Catholic High School; and a Monk from a Buddhist school in California, Developing Virtue Boys High School. We involved teachers from esteemed institutions such as Phillips Exeter Academy and the National Cathedral School as well as educators from public and private schools in Washington, Louisiana, Texas, Illinois, and North Carolina.
This seminar helped us to re-ground our work in the concerns of secondary school teachers. Schoolteachers are truly at the forefront of grappling with America's religious diversity: there is no place where the impact of our new religious reality is felt more forcefully. After the NEH seminar, we developed additional Teachers' Resources and began offering specialized teacher affiliate grants. We also began offering grants to independent researchers, photographers, and filmmakers so that we could explore and document the many dimensions of our religious landscape. In addition, we began making research grants available to students from colleges and universities across the United States, with an interest in developing the next generation of scholars and researchers of religion.
In September 2000, we began to convene a series of lunch discussions with faculty across Harvard University who are interested in immigration and religious pluralism. The Interfaculty Working Group has included professors and visiting scholars from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Faculty of Divinity, the Kennedy School of Government, the Graduate School of Education, and the Harvard Law School. These discussions include presentations from leading thinkers and activists from diverse religious communities, particularly those with acute concerns about current policy issues. This interface between religious communities and the academy, and across fields of study, is a special emphasis of the Pluralism Project. Over a period of five years, we have developed and expanded these collaborations and conversations through an emphasis on American civil society.
In 2001, we embarked on a new initiative to convene, and cultivate, Women's Networks in Multireligious America. At our first consultations of religious advocacy organizations, we recognized that women rarely held formal leadership positions, but played critical roles within the community. The common concerns of religious women represented important opportunities for collaboration, yet their voices were rarely heard within the public conversation, or the traditional structures of interfaith dialogue. We hosted the first in a series of multi-religious consultations with women leaders, activists, and academics in April 2001 at Harvard University. The first meeting served as an introduction to a range of individuals and organizations, providing a much-needed forum for conversation across difference and identifying important points of intersection.
In November 2001 we held a second consultation, one that had not been originally planned, as a means to respond to the crisis that minority religious communities were facing in the aftermath of September 11. This meeting, held at the Harvard Club of New York City, powerfully illustrated the urgency of multifaith conversation as we navigated new fault lines and worked to build stronger bridges. The following spring, in April 2002, we hosted a consultation focused on public policy, planned in conjunction with the Women and Public Policy Program at the John F. Kennedy School of Government. In April 2003, we incorporated an international perspective, uniting our women's networks members with participants from a groundbreaking 1983 gathering, "Women, Religion and Social Change." In the fall of 2004, we hosted "Women's Votes, Women's Voices" at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. This public forum took place as the nation approached the 2004 presidential elections; it served to amplify diverse religious women's voices and forged new linkages with secular women's organizations.
In 2004, we began working with Rachel Antell, a former Pluralism Project staffer and award-winning documentarian, to develop a film that would enable the concerns of the women's networks to reach a broader and more diverse audience. Acting on Faith: Women's New Religious Activism in America is a documentary film that offers an intimate look at the lives and work of three American women – one Buddhist, one Hindu, and one Muslim – for whom faith, activism, and identity are deeply intertwined. The film premiered at Harvard University on April 26, 2005 to a standing-room only audience. Since then, the film has been used as an educational tool and has been featured in film festivals, conferences, and special events.
In 2005, we launched four research initiatives related to religious pluralism and civil society:
As we look to the future, we will continue to emphasize the role of student research in the documentation of our new religious reality. Student research is at the foundation of the Pluralism Project: students contribute as field researchers, affiliates, interns, and staff members. Students have made critical contributions: from the initial fieldwork on religious diversity in Boston, to the development of On Common Ground; from their work on convenings and special events to the creation and ongoing content development for the website. For many years, we have hosted annual Student Research Conferences at Harvard University to highlight some of the best student research efforts in a public forum. Beginning in 2004, we developed a summer internship program, which has drawn top students from across the U.S. and abroad. We look forward to expanding this program, and developing new ways to integrate the energies of students into the work of the Project.
Senior staff who have guided the Pluralism Project and share in the leadership of its programs and initiatives include Elinor Pierce, Research Director; Whittney Barth, Assistant Director; and Ryan Overbey, Postdoctoral Fellow. All hold degrees from Harvard University, and began working with the Project as student researchers.
Finally, the history of the Pluralism Project would be incomplete without mention of the role of the religious communities themselves. We would like to recognize the generosity of the countless individuals who have been our gracious hosts, learned teachers, informed contributors, and fellow researchers. Thank you for your contributions: our work is inspired by your example, infused with your spirit, and informed by your wisdom.

The Brazilian tanning industry has been demonstrating its commitment to business sustainable management. The industry is continuously motivated to fine-tune its sustainability tools and strategies for the improvement of its activities.
The evolution achieved over the years in the application of these concepts can be seen along the production chain and is recognised internationally. Brazil is one of the countries with the highest number of tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group, a multi-stakeholder group aimed at the development of best environmental practises and a protocol to assess the performance of the certified tanneries. Not forgetting to mention that most of the certified plants in Brazil have very good grades for traceability, a challenge for other countries around the world which have difficulties in achieving the same success.
The sector is continuously improving its environmental performance in areas such water consumption, management, treatment of wastewater effluents, emission reduction, raw materials traceability and waste disposal among others.
"With these initiatives, we want to ensure greater transparency of our businesses and encourage our partners to expand and enhance their responsibility to society", says José Fernando Bello, executive president of the Centre for the Brazilian Tannery (CICB). "These actions will certainly bring more credibility and strength to the entire sector, with positive effects on the industry, the environment, and the public. Brazil is a land of great opportunity, ready to take its place as a global leader and high-technology hot spot for innovation and investment", he concludes.
CICB is the organiser of the CICB Sustainability Forum. The event takes place once a year, getting together some of the greatest specialists in the enviromental, social and economic issues of the leather sector worldwide. In 2013, full registration and professionals from different countries and sectors, composed the second edition of the event. More than 600 people attended the panels presented by some of the greatest experts in the world on current and innovative themes within the sustainability tripod.
A notable audience - with massive attendance and very active participation - the meeting demonstrated the wide interest and concern of the leather and footwear industry related to sustainability issues. Its interdisciplinary format has motivated the debate and brought together numerous experiences within a topic that gathers the economic, social and environmental pillars.
1. Why is sustainability a top priority for Akzo Nobel and how do you ensure it's at the heart of the leather production process?
Sustainability is integral to everything we do at AkzoNobel. It is integrated into every part of our business, from our own operations to the products we deliver. The world needs sustainable solutions so this approach makes sense for us as a business. By doing more with less, we can help tackle the most important issues our customers are facing. The world needs sustainable solutions which presents us with an important business growth opportunity. The driving force behind our innovation work at AkzoNobel is delivering products that enable our customers to do more with less. Our DeMythe LDD technology will deliver great positive impact to our customers in the leather industry, from the fewest resources, across the value chain.
2. There are many benefits to DeMythe technology, but can you specifically detail how it helps to reduce waste (both water and chemical) and improve working conditions?
The use of DeMythe LDD technology directly addresses two of the major environmental impacts of the leather industry:
3. How long will it take for tanneries to see substantial cost savings using DeMythe?
They will benefit from the described benefits immediately with the implementation of DeMythe LDD technology.
4. What does the leather industry need to prioritise when it comes to treating hides in a more environmentally responsible way?
There are several criteria to be used for prioritising the investment and innovation fields in which to act, but the most reasonable seem to be according to the ratio of environmental benefit (the impacts addressed by DeMythe LDD are clearly amongst the previously defined as most urgent) and positive economical impact. Hurdles and more accommodative approaches such us low investment, use of same existing equipment or steading in a comfort area of process knowledge should not be the making decision keys to go ahead for a goal tending to zero emission process.
5. What will be the consequence if processing of hides continues the way it is going now?
The continuation of the current situation can lead in future to a dead end. The leather industry is moving progressively to countries more permissive with environmental impacts but, after a certain time, these countries will also increase the normative pressure on the industries to reduce their footprint. We are currently very close to this situation and there is a growing awareness of not moving the problem anywhere else, but to solve it as a real answer to the challenge. That means there is no way to disregard the technological progresses in leather processing, as with DeMythe LDD.
6. What responsibility does a big company like Akzo Nobel have in terms of changing not just methods of operations in leather processing around the world, but overall attitudes to the bigger picture of environmental impact for years to come?
Everything we do is underpinned by a commitment to sustainability - reducing the impact of our operations and products on the planet and helping our customers reduce theirs. We already source 33% of our energy from renewable sources and are increasing this. We are committed to reducing total waste and eliminating hazardous waste from landfill and aim to ensure fresh water management is in place at all of our manufacturing sites by 2015. Our products and technology are designed to help our customers do more with fewer resources. We strongly focus our RD&I on eco-premium solutions which bring benefits to our customers. DeMythe LDD is an example of a sustainable customer solution in degreasing and dehydration of animal skins for the leather and protein industry. Another example is Ecosel mTA Salt which enables our customers in the chemical transformation sector to become more energy efficient.

According to luxury group Salvatore Ferragamo chief executive Michele Norsa, travelling Chinese shoppers buying leather goods will boost sales growth in 2014. Norsa said the group met expectations at the close of 2013, but that it was imperative to wait until Chinese new year on January 31 to make forecasts for the year.
"Travelling keeps being a strong driver of growth," Norsa said.
Chinese luxury consumers make up nearly a third of the market and are increasingly shopping abroad due in part to easier visa procedures in the US and European, according to consultancy Bain & Co.
"Shoes are our core category and in fact a shoe is not a gift, shoes are something you buy for yourself," Norsa continued.
Originally a women's footwear maker established in Florence in 1927, the group reported net profit up 61% in the first nine months of 2013.

Reporter Gets Revenge
A WGN reporter gets revenge against video bombers. You have to see this.

this guy is mean.
Leather man was funny.
Most of this was pretty funny, but when he rubbed that (non-pregnant) lady's belly and asked when she was due, that was NOT COOL.
Molten chocolate cakes with fudge sauce are a delicious and decadent dessert to enjoy any time of year.
really?? I dunno...that last poor couple...all she did was smile at the camera and he says her toddler is "average"? he seems really petulant.
its impossible to hear a video on this site with the other hidden ad videos playing. does anyone else have this problem??
wow i would have kicked his arse.
I couldn't stop laughing...though the preggers thing was mean. He should have chosen a super skinny chick to do that to.
He was funny until he touched that lady's belly and picked on the child and his parents. I dare someone to talk about my children that way, even as a "joke".
If you we're a regular viewer you'd know he's jesting. He's the sportscaster. Hawks just won the cup, cubs& sox suck, not much to report. It's entertainment. They do crazy things all the time.
Well, perhaps you should get a sense of humour about your precious snowflakes, Ashley G. The world already has enough hysterical, entitled parents. Hint: Why don't you focus on producing decent human beings with critical thinking skills who care about others and can laugh at themselves and not go searching for dumb shit to get humpy about? You represent the worst.
simmer down, Unknown
wow unknown, fuck off. my children ARE precious snowflakes and I wouldn't think it was funny to even pretend they are anything but.My sense of humor is fine but my kids are on the very top of my DO NOT FUCK WITH list. Maybe if you had some you would understand, if you do have children I am sorry they have to live every day feeling the way you must make them feel. If I'm representing the worst who the hell are you representing?
WGN in Chicago is the most entertaining and I love watching them. They don't take themselves too seriously. And honestly, people waving and acting stupid while someone is trying to do their job = deserving of ridicule. Bring it.
But you ARE the worst, Ashley. I represent everyone who has to deal with you and your kids. Just so you know, people hate your kids because you are training them to be entitled little shits. Nobody is "fucking" with your children by not thinking they are great. And you wouldn't need to swagger and bluster about it if you were actually a decent parent. You are not doing Madysson or Hunter any favours by teaching them to expect acclaim where it is not deserved.
