"Southern hospitality meets the undead. Perfect!"
Satire, witty, humor
No other books in the vampire/romance genre compare. This book is in a leauge of its own. No matter if you loved or hated other series like twilight, you will appreciate the way that this book is able to poke fun at the entire gere in a light and amusing way.
love her voice. perfectly accented. She pulls off the sarcasm and wit without being whiney
i think the title is enough of a tag line
I love books!
"It's a sit-com that's what it is."
I am not at all sure that I would want to listen to another book from the Jane Jameson books.It is kind of entertaining and I do not think it is bad. I just feel like I am listening to a sit com about a newly made vampire, her sire, her best friend ext. the thing is I find myself waiting for a laugh track. there are some funny moments but there are lots of times I feel the author is trying too hard and is missing the mark. I seriously could see this as a TV series and some people would like it a lot. I am very picky about sit- coms I would compare "Nice Girls Don't have fangs" to "New Girl" as a vampire
"Just what I needed."
I've given this book 4 stars. This means I really liked the book and will read more from this author. If the author proves true to herself and her work future ranks will be higher. I simply like to compare authors to their own work and their progression and ability to keep their characters moving and interesting. I have no interest in comparing, I want each book to stand on it's own merits.
I don't like to compare books, authors or performers. I don't even like to write reviews. However, for the sake of this review I would have to ask why this is being compared to Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire series? Perhaps we need to break paranormal genre into many, many sub-genres if we are going to do comparisons. I would have to put this book in the Vamp/romance/Humor sub-genre. And if I were going to compare authors it would have to be with Mary Janice Davidson's Queen Betsy series. I'm sure there are others out there, but I haven't read them. I only became enthralled with the paranormal genre a couple years ago when I was looking for my own genre to write in (my hobby). I love the freedom of this genre to create characters that are of a different nature. I hate when reviewers make comments about what a vamp or shifter can or cannot do. It's fiction, these creatures/beings are figments of our imaginations, there are no rules or guidelines that must be adhered to.
So, after all of my blathering, I would have to say I enjoyed Harper over Davidson because the humor was of a nature that anyone could understand and laugh with the character. She dealt with things mostly in the way any intelligent, level-headed and caring woman would...overwhelmed, accepted she needed to deal with her new life and hilarious in her thought process while dealing with chaos.
Queen Betsy on the other hand was just as true in her character...I suppose for me I wouldn't have had her as a human friend, whereas Jane and I could have been great friends. Betsy is OCD over silly things, loud, and abrasive.
Amanda Ronconi performed very well. Characters were clear and distinguishable without going too far overboard. My criteria for a good performer is that they don't have a constant whiny voice, especially for main characters or overly gruff voices for the males.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it gave me exactly what I needed at the time I read it. I believe I listened to it between book 3 and 4 of the Ice and Fire series by George R R Martin. Definitely needed a little humorous reading at that point. ???
"Sure why not?"
The narration was very good, and I give Ms. Ronconi props for being able to get the range of voices out there.
Fantasy Romance books
Nope sorry
The ending, which I will not spoil, but the main character and her father share a moment.
"Great Listen"
A light, quick moving tale of vamps and werewolves, overlaid with snarky southern wit and charm. The performance was excellent, lending the proper southern twang without making me want to strangle her. Unless she was doing a character that needed to be strangled, of course!
It was cute, but predictable. I understand it's the first in a series, so it leaves you hanging.
It was a bit childish, except for the sex.
the author has an original perspective on a vampires life.
"A good laugh!"
Nice twist on the world of vampires. No better place than a southern state to have the protagonist deliver the frank description of
"A Fun Start to a Fun Series!"
I enjoyed listening to "Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs" so much that I went on to purchase the rest of the audiobooks in this series. I love the charaters, and Jane is just great fun.
"Juicy, Campy Fun"
This light read is strong on humor and characterization. Jane is extremely likable and engaging.
This story is a bit like the Sookie Stackhouse series, but it's funnier and lighter.
I was hooked from the scene at the bar where Jane is drowning her sorrows in electric blue lemonades.
It definitely made me laugh.
This book is great fun!
I am a retired Court Reporter and I LOVE books. All kinds of books but my favorites are mysteries and period books. I like civil war books and some biographies.
"Refreshingly funny delightful"
Love this series. I've always liked vampire books but really this is the best ever. It's different in so many ways. It has everything. She covers the southern ways in such a way that it almost seems like home. The family dynamics are so funny.

Thirty teams, 30 burning fantasy questions. Throughout the preseason, we put one of these questions to an ESPN.com analyst for an in-depth look at the most interesting, perplexing or dumbfounding fantasy facet of each major league team.
Who ends up with the most saves for the Cubs?
It's pretty clear Lou Piniella wants Kerry Wood to be the closer for the Chicago Cubs this season. He's all but said this, implying numerous times that Wood is the leader, has thrown well enough to earn the job and won't share the role. The problem is, Wood hasn't been a closer before, and there's no telling whether his body would comply anyway.
This has been one of the big stories in Cubs camp all spring training, along with where Piniella will hit Kosuke Fukudome in the batting order, who will be the fifth starter and whether all the talk about the Brian Roberts trade will ever become reality. The truth is, everyone wants to know who will get the ball for the ninth inning, and the leading contender for the role has never saved a major league game.
Not that Carlos Marmol and Bobby Howry are Bruce Sutter, but can Wood hold them off? Someone has to lead the Cubs in saves, right?
The problem for fantasy owners is that this is probably not going to be decided in the next week, maybe not in the next month. How about July? Will there be clarity here anytime soon? Not as long as Piniella insists on using Wood to close games when his other options manage to stay healthy.
Of course, this isn't news for Piniella. Since leaving Cincinnati, where the bullpen was arguably the strongest part of a World Series-winning club, Piniella has had some pretty interesting closers in Tampa Bay and Seattle. Danys Baez and Lance Carter got the saves for him in Tampa Bay. In Seattle, Piniella most often turned to Kazuhiro Sasaki, Jose Mesa, Mike Timlin, Norm Charlton, Heathcliff Slocumb and Bobby Ayala. If you've played fantasy baseball for a while, you know this isn't the first time Piniella has had decisions to make in his bullpen, and he's often made decisions that the team's fans and the general public haven't agreed with. Remember, Ryan Dempster kept the closer role much of 2007.
Each of Piniella's current options are flawed to some degree, so let's examine the combatants.
Kerry Wood: The undisputed leader in the clubhouse, Wood is the guy Piniella wants to close. It makes sense, you know. Then again, Piniella also wants to win 110 games, lose 20 pounds and ride a Harley to work each day. Wisely, Piniella sees Marmol and Howry as horses he can go to on a daily basis, and for more than an inning at a time if needed. With Wood, who knows when he'll be available? Once a dominating starting pitcher seemingly on his way to Cooperstown, Wood hasn't been able to stay on the field due to shoulder and knee problems, and it's not a one-year thing. In the past three seasons he's pitched a total of 110 major league innings. He can no longer start games, but can he finish?
Wood has pitched well this spring, better than the other closer hopefuls, allowing six hits in seven innings and three earned runs, walking nobody and fanning four. Piniella has used him carefully, never on back-to-back days, and this would seem to be the main hindrance to letting Wood close during the season. Wood's partially torn rotator cuff appears healed, as he had strong velocity and overpowered hitters late last season. He also struggled with his command, but that's nothing new for Wood. His latest setback is back spasms, and they likely pushed back an official announcement of Wood being named closer already. Once Piniella is convinced Wood doesn't need days off between outings, he'll let the world know who his closer is. This could happen if Wood pitches this coming Sunday and Monday.
It's quite possible this won't happen, however, as Wood isn't likely to suddenly become a pillar of durability. Look for Wood to get the first shot to close a game once April begins. He should pitch well, if not often. His stuff is not a concern, and we've seen plenty of other pitchers moved to the closer role when they couldn't start due to performance or injury. It happens all the time. Maybe you've heard of Eric Gagne? Joe Nathan? Wood could be a 30-save closer.
Prediction: Wood closes in April, and looks terrific. Fantasy owners fawn over him, trade for him, assume he's a key fantasy cog. Then Wood breaks down. It'll be something, a sore shoulder, a tweaked knee, blisters, you name it. Wood serves a DL stint, comes back to earn more saves, gets hurt again, loses the job for good in August and ends up giving fantasy owners 16 saves, but spread out over a few months.
Carlos Marmol:With Wood no longer hitting triple digits on the radar gun, Marmol becomes the hardest thrower in the bullpen, and owns the nastiest stuff. His breakout came in 2007, with 96 strikeouts in 69 1/3 innings, and it stunned fantasy owners who only saw the 6.08 ERA and 1.688 WHIP from his 77 innings in 2006. Marmol has always been a strikeout pitcher, though a wild one, and his lack of command and fly-ball rates probably don't make him the perfect closer in the first place. But he will get a chance.
Marmol was the preeminent relief pitcher in the Chicago bullpen, and fantasy owners waited all season for him to replace Ryan Dempster as the closer. It never happened. In fact, there were times when both Marmol and Angel Guzman became non-options for the rotation so they could get in line to close. Marmol is clearly a relief pitcher at this point, and Guzman is healing from August Tommy John surgery.
Prediction: Marmol is going to be worth owning in fantasy this season, so one needn't worry about drafting him. You want to draft him for the peripheral numbers and strikeout potential, and hope for saves. Few relief pitchers have the ability to fan more than 100 hitters in a season. Marmol can do this. He's Joel Zumaya, hopefully without the fluke injuries. He's Brad Lidge, hopefully without the home run issues. The saves will come when Wood is out of the lineup, but Piniella is unlikely to commit to him long-term until Wood is out of the picture. Expect Marmol to have an ERA around 2, a strong WHIP and about 20 saves. But no job security as closer.
Bobby Howry: When spring training commenced, Howry seemed to be the team's leader in the closer race. A bad spring quickly changed things. The truth is Howry has done well with his occasional save chances the past two seasons, but there are reasons for concern. One, he allows a lot of fly balls, and whether the wind is blowing out or not, too many of the fly balls go over the wall. Howry has permitted 16 home runs in two seasons, and the majority of them were blasted by right-handed hitters. He eats up innings, throws strikes and has a strong cumulative WHIP of 1.15 as a Cub, but his role is likely to be fortifying the seventh and eighth innings, bridging the gap to the closer. Certainly Howry could close if given the chance, and looking at some of the winners Piniella has chosen for the role in the past, he could keep the role and thrive. My guess is he's a clear No. 3 in this race.
Prediction: Howry starts the year in the seventh inning, and finishes in the eighth when Wood is out and Marmol gets the promotion. Howry can still help a fantasy team this way, piling on the safe innings, strikeouts and holds, but don't expect him to garner many saves. I'll set eight as his over/under, and take the under.
Ryan Dempster: Hey, don't forget this guy. Stranger things have happened than former closers regaining the role. Fantasy owners might think Dempster was a horrible disgrace the past few seasons, but the fact is only 12 pitchers in baseball have more saves since 2005. Dempster led the NL in save percentage in 2005, and was consistently undervalued in his three years as closer based on perception. Was he good? Well, his 3-16 record and high peripherals since 2006 weren't very good. I think Dempster will be a capable No. 4 starter for the Cubs and flirt with 200 innings pitched and 12 wins, but if there's trouble in the bullpen, he could easily be moved. It happened to Brett Myers in 2007. Who expected that?
Prediction: Dempster holds off the scary duo of Jon Lieber and Jason Marquis to remain in the rotation and makes 32 starts. He doesn't pitch in relief all year.
Michael Wuertz: Buried as a sixth inning guy for a few years, Wuertz has closed in the minors before, but his only Cubs save came as a rookie in 2004. Wuertz has thrown eight scoreless innings this spring, allowing five hits and no walks, with 13 strikeouts. If Marmol keeps walking people, and Wood can't stay healthy, Wuertz could become more relevant. For now, he's fourth in line for saves, at least.
In terms of fantasy value for this season, I'd rank Marmol as the best option from the Chicago bullpen, then Wood (for the saves) and Howry a safe, but distant third. It's going to be an adventure in Piniella's bullpen, and judging from past seasons, it seems he'd have it no other way.

Petrus, if I could give more stars I would! This was wonderful as our appetiser (with the bread) tonight. Russell cooked and used canned, chopped tomatoes, otherwise no changes to a fantasic recipe.
We had a shrimp boil today with some friends and decided to try your recipe. OMG!!! It was wonderful!! Everyone LOVED it! As it was a spur of the moment thing I used canned tomatoes w/ garlic and onion. Very good!
I served this as a main meal with salad and Lebanese bread to mop up the juices. The ouzo is an inspired addition. I used a combination of fresh and canned tomatoes, and this worked well. Tnanks PetsRus for a flavorsome Mediterranean dish.

Its the top of the ninth inning in a tie ball game. All you are looking for is to get an easy 1-2-3 inning under your belt so you can go back into your dugout and win it in the bottom of the ninth. The question here is who do you bring in to pitch that you have 100% confidence will shut the other team down? Your closer right? I mean he is supposed to be the wrench you throw into the gears and stops the other team right in its tracks. He is the dominating force that runs into the game to his own song to get pumped up. He is the intimidating presence on the mound that when is in the game you know the game is over before he even throws a pitch. That is of course unless the game is tied and it is not a save situation.This is exactly the case for the great future first ballot hall of famer Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees.
For years his mid 90's cutter bore into the hands of lefty hitters and then painted the outside corner for strike three. When you saw him exit the bullpen to Enter Sandman you knew it was over. But for some reason this year whenever the Yankees have desperately needed him to stop the bleeding in a tied game to give the Yankees a fighting chance in the bottom of the ninth he hasn't delivered. He has given up 10 runs and 8 of them have come in non save situations, usually when the game is tied. This takes the wind right out of the Yankee sails and is a crushing blow.
Just last night against the weak Royals who came in losing 7 of 8 the Yankees squandered opportunity after opportunity to get big hits with runners in scoring position, Rivera came in for the top of the 9th. I knew what was going to happen and i know every Yankee fan feared it as well. Sure enough Rivera in a 3-3 game got himself into a pickle and gave up a run making it 4-3 going into the bottom of the ninth. Betemit got a hit and Christian came in to pinch run only to get picked off by Soria at first base. A couple hits later Giambi came up to the plate with the bases loaded and just as the Yankees have done this year he didn't deliver, making Yankee fans all around the world wonder what's wrong.
Now I am not saying it is 100% Mo's fault that the Yankees lost the game because there were many things that went wrong before he came into the game. But after all the other things went wrong, it was Mariano Rivera, no one else, who gave up the go-ahead game winning run to the Royals
Why Mariano and most closers can't seem to shutdown a team if it is not a save situation is still a debate, and we probably won't know. It could be nerves or the lack of adrenaline without the crowd as loud as it normally is. Whatever the case, if the Yankees are looking to make a run for the wild card in which they now find themselves 7 back of the Red Sox, they need to get every win they should get. That means Rivera shutting the opposing team down during a tied game in the 8th, 9th, and 10th inning.

At the beginning of last November, I purchased a new 13-inch MacBook Pro to replace my aged 2007 MacBook. I had decided to hold off on purchasing AppleCare, saved up, and this week figured that since I was going to be in the Mall where the Apple Store is located on Saturday, thought it would be the right time to make the purchase before the year was up. I wanted to purchase AppleCare with cash rather than a credit card, so when the store opened at 10 am, I was there. As I walked in with everyone else, staff members were at the entrance asking everyone what they were there for. When the guy at the door asked me, I told him I was there to purchase AppleCare for my MacBook Pro. He asked me when had I purchased it and I told him last November, November 4th, to be exact. The guy looks at me and says…

Boy we touched a nerve somewhere with TONS of feedback from the listeners! And we LOVE it! Guy makes mistakes and gets called on the carpet for it (don't worry folks, he's used to it). More iMac hard drive talk, Godzilla makes a special appearance, and we both agree on AppleCare (if by agree we mean Gaz says no thanks and Guy says yes). Apple tells LodSys to get stuffed and developers cheer (yea)! Lastly, the Apple Stores turn 10 and Apple celebrates with…more iPads?

Guest report from occasional contributor Susan
A month or so ago, I noticed that my iPhone 3G was not updating when I made changes to either my Address Book or iCal on my one year old MacBook, so I made an appointment at my local Tucson Apple Store. Things have changed at the perpetually busy Genius Bar; iPhone techs now meet their clients at the front of the store, which is always very crowded with customers. These days, there are often more people in the Apple Store than in the rest of the stores combined in the upscale shopping plaza where Apple is located. Sad for those others, but I wish Apple would move into larger premises.

One of the joys of buying consumer electronics is having to decide whether or not to purchase a warranty for your shiny new toy. Most warranties are fairly limited, expensive, and generally worth thinking about carefully before deciding to purchase. But not so with AppleCare. AppleCare is a no brainer. If you're considering buying an Apple product, and you're not planning on getting AppleCare, then Lucy, you have some 'splainin to do.
Apple's web site shows AppleCare options for Mac and Apple display, iPod and Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad. What might not be obvious is that if you purchase AppleCare for your Mac, it will also cover things other than the Mac and an external Apple display, such as a Time Capsule or Airport Extreme. I'm not sure how Apple handles it if there's any question about the other device being purchased at a different date than the Mac, but I have firsthand experience that they will honor it.

This crib bumper is adorable and very affordable. It has become a questionable topic if crib bumpers are safe nowa days due to overly plush bumpers causing harm to the baby. Well this bumper is made from a soft, smooth fabric and not overly stuffed. I am a very satisfied customer!
I've looked over several choices and since I don't know my child's gender Simba was the cutest thing I could have chosen for both a girl and a boy! The bumper fit perfectly in my Graco 4 in 1 Free-port and makes the color of the crib pop. =)
Great gift for my money!!! I love both the bumper and the blanket!!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!! Worth every cent!!!!
We ordered the 3 piece Baby Simba crib set, and got this to go with it. It is absolutely gorgeous. The best part is that unlike the crib bumpers that are all one piece, this one is not. That makes it much easier to get a good fit against the crib railings. Then entire Baby Simba line is gorgeous and could be used for a boy or a girl. We happened to purchase this for a baby boy but would not have any trouble using it in a girl's room as well.
I will definitely recommend this to a friend, great product for the price compared to all the other expensive Crib bumpers I came across. Great buy!!!
It is really nice and goes well with the crib set i like the different designs it has and for this price you cant go wrong.
This fits great to any standard crib and matches the bed set (sold separately) perfectly. It is also very soft.
I bought this with the crib bedding set and I am so happy with this purchase. great quality too.
Bought this to go with my son's crib bedding set.. I have no complaints about it its so cute and fits well on my son's thick very wide crib legs. It has the perfect amount of padding its not too plushy. I would recommend.
I purchased this bedding for my grandsons crib. It is very good quality and the pattern is super cute.
I love this product its really comfortable n beautiful thn it looks in pictures.
goes perfectly with the simba crib set!(:

you poor fool
That's what happen's when give into emotions. Glance at the big picture, that is why this company will survive.
Sentiment: Buy
What's so bad about ER and restructuring? Sounds like those are two things they should do.
Sentiment: Hold
sounds like what I'm waiting for, that and the DOE getting back on board with warren buffet and tesla , and how bout pepsi, they could put cans in the blink chargers and ppl would be tempted to buy a cold drink while they plug in.
You know nothing about ECTY .. The earnings report would of actually been very good, a small loss ...This is about ECTY demanding more money from the DOE to help support the expansion that is costing more then originally expected ...
eh, huh?
Huh? What? Who are you?

Arlo is a very sleek, conservative frame with a universal shape that accommodates a wide range of face shapes and can be worn by men or women. Kaenon's SR-91 polarized lenses and 5-barrel metal hinges make the frame perfect for an outdoor adventure or casual excursion. Italian Tr-90 injection-molded frame keeps Arlo strong yet flexible. The ultra-grippy Variflex nose piece keeps the frame securely on your face.

Wicked Pictures helmer goes big with his latest effort
Posted Apr 17th, 2007 00:00 AM by
Mike Albo
LAKE VIEW TERRACE, Calif. -
Most porn shoot locations are similar: a rented house in Chatsworth or some other Valley burg, or a warehouse next to a glass-strewn lot. But Wicked Pictures usually does things in a big way, so for the final shoot day of director Brad Armstrong's
Coming Home
, the location was a small rancho just inside the entrance to the Angeles National Forest.
Sycamore trees, oaks, century plants, scrub jays and woodpeckers were everywhere, and it was hard to believe that a major metro area was a short drive down the hill.
Armstrong and assistant director Jessica Drake were having some breakfast as the crew prepped for the next shot and greeted reporters as they pulled into the driveway.
"I've been planning this with Kirsten [Price] for a long time," said Armstrong, who also plays a major role in the movie. "Originally, this was supposed to be a little three or four-day movie, but it kept getting bigger and better and more involved."
Drake, who also performs in the movie, said of her expanded duties, "I've been the A.D. on this movie. I've been doing a lot of that for Brad lately. And I've been doing a lot of writing and art direction and I'm getting ready to start directing...but I want to learn everything from the ground up. So this is our sixth day on the shoot and we've been on a lot of remote locations...we're here in the middle of the Angeles National Forest and nobody's got a cell phone that works!"
Armstrong, in keeping with his character's military status, has shaved his head for the part. Drake explained, "We did two days here to get the continuity right after the haircut. We were all a little nervous about the haircut. Nobody knew if he had a decent-looking head under his hair because he never shaved his head before."
Drake directed the haircut scene, because, as she said, "Brad was in the chair and couldn't move, so I directed that scene. I was scared. There was so much pressure. It's hair. Once it's gone, it's gone for that scene."
Kirsten Price, about to get into character and recite some dialogue talked about the movie, "It's an amazing war movie that we're shooting. I do a lot of reading letters because my man is in Iraq. It's very sad. It's a very emotional movie."
Price's real-life man Barrett Blade is also in
Coming Home
, and he explained some of the movie's emotions. "There's the big fight scene I'm doing today," said Blade. "The script called for Brad to take a baseball bat to my character's car, but I suggested that he should take a bat to me because I think that would make it more dramatic."
Blade also talked about a particularly uncomfortable scene that was shot earlier in the week. "I had sex with my wife Kristen," he said. "On a log in the middle of a swamp. It was one of those things where you think, 'Damn. This'll look good, but it's going to suck working on that.'"
And with that, a driver arrived to carry the cast across a ravine to the actual location and the dramatic magic began.
Coming Home
will be released by Wicked Pictures later this year.

Various: Beer Price Index (Vladivostok)
Beer is normally sold in 500ml or 1 litre cans or bottles, although it is often sold in larger volumes as well.
It does depend a bit on the brand but typically 500mls of Russian beer is sold in the shops for 35-40 rubles (just over 1USD) and 1 litre for 70-80 rubles.
In restaurants typically Russian beer is 70 to 90 rubles, and imported beer around 150 rubles and up.
Vladivostok prices are typically a bit more expensive than European Russia.
State Department Store (GOUM): GOUM: Gothic shopping
A most AMAZING department store.
Built some time in 1900 by German architect Junghendel, it is among our few Gothic architectural marvels. Have a thorough look at its facade decorated with monsters' faces from the German epic mythology, as well as... cupids!
It was originally owned by two Swiss entrepreneurs who came to trade in Vladivostok at the turn of XXc.
Now it is rather a museum than a shop. As there has not been any major refurbishment since 1970, it looks quite deplorable inside and crammed with useless random boutiques. But as its web page presents an awesome renovation project including the reconstruction of the interiors, the locals are waiting for a miracle.
So, the main activity is to roam around the building and spot what is left of those peculiar 100-year-old interiors - the staircases with the lamps, the lampstands resting on the lion's paws, the floor tiles, the full-length mirrors, and historic doors.
(Check pit all PICS)
What to buy: There are souvenir departments on the first floor, only these are of interest; and there are hordes of Asian tourists buying them out, as they like Russian amber at a reasonable price.
What to pay: From $10.00 for a Russian doll up to $1.000.00 and higher.
The prices in the souvenir department are ok, though there are places with slightly lower prices in the downtown area.
There is also Doushechka Cafe in there, it has got a Soviet touch and its prices are surprisingly reasonable.
Address: 33-35 Svetlanskaya St
Directions: Downtown

Golden Horn (Zolotoi Rog) shopping senter: Ladies' Shopping
In case of this chopping center the building itself is of more interest than what in has got inside.
Built in 1880 by a local merchant as a hotel with a concert hall in burnt down in 1095 and was completely rebuilt. It subsequently housed a youth theater, a drama theater, a then became one of the first shopping centers in Vladivostok, and at that point its development got stuck.
What to buy: Here everything is ONLY for women: clothes, lingerie, shoes, jewelery, accessories and other stuff.
What to pay: Prices from moderate to hooked up.
Address: 13 Svetlanskaya St
Directions: Downtown
KnigoMir: Book shopping
This green-and-white historic building houses a good two-level bookstore "KnigoMir" that belongs to a huge bookstore chain.
What to buy: Anyone can choose something out of their 55.000 books.
Find some Vladivostok post cards on the first level. Do not miss the underground level - go downstairs to browse the English language section, it is not huge, but it will do if you suddenly feel like reading some English classics.
What to pay: Post card/Vladivostok guide prices are ok.
Book prices are unreasonable.
Address: 23 Aleutskaya St
Directions: Downtown

Green Bricks Store+Passazh flower arcade: Flowers and stuff
Two adjacent shops:
Check Passazh Flower Arcade for flowers and stuffed toys.
Adjacent to it is the Green Bricks Store (Zelenie Kirpichiki), with nothing so very remarkable inside but Chinese and Turkish clothes and accessories. But the building is unique. Built in Chinese style it was originally owned by a Japanese gangster woman who turned it into a casino with all-you-know-what facilities to please its male clients lol
(see all PICS)
Address: 25 Svetlanskaya St
Directions: Downtown
Tsentralny Chopping Center: Smart Shopping
So far the best shopping center with some ambiance.
Marble interiors, panoramic lifts and a glass dome add up to the pleasure of shopping.
Check out all levels, and when too exhausted drop into the cafe or a Japanese restaurant on the top level.
What to buy: Men's and Women's clothes, lingerie, shoes, accessories, jewelry, cosmetics and perfume.
There is an amazing Greek cosmetics boutique.
What to pay: Prices range from moderate to costly for European brands.
Address: 29 Svetlanskaya
Directions: Opposite the Central Square.

Kiosks at Sportivnaya: Souvenirs
When you are walking by the Sportivnaya, you will see many ladies selling souvenirs. You will not that many varieties anywhere in the city. Bargain is a must in Russia.

What to pay: Around 100 - 150 ruble per item.

B. PAZER: Nice Supermarket and Shopping Mall Here!
The shop in the photo is a supermarket on the ground floor and a household goods and appliances shop on the 1st. There is a complete stock of foods, daily necessities, and it was interesting to see the household appliance as well. Many seem to be imported from Europe. Also for tinned foods and health items, there are are locally manufactured as well as many imports from all over, specifically Korea and the US.
The spot from where this photo was taken is called Ignat. Here is a nice multi-storey modern shopping mall. There are many Chinese tour group buses which stop here, and we found that many shops here offered better quality souveniers. Here is one of the few places which accepted credit cards.
Directions: At the intersection of Okeansky Prospect and Ul. Komsomopyskaya. This intersection is located about 1-2 km away from the downtown district, and is accessed by the local bus or tram.
All over town: Shopping Military Memorabilia
What to buy: Being a military port town almost all memorabilia in regards to the Russian Army and Navy can be bought all over town. It appears that some soldiers even sell their own uniform in exchange of some foreign money.
What to pay: Prices vary also depending on your negotiation skills
- Trains
- Budget Travel
- Arts and Culture
All over town: Shopping Mamuschkas
What to buy: One of the most famous Russian souvenirs is also available here in Vladivostok – the Mamushkas painted with Russian or International personalities – or as is with the face of the Mamushka.
What to pay: Prices vary also depending on your negotiation skills
- Arts and Culture
- Trains
Watch Shops in Vladivostok: Many Russian Watch Companies
What to buy: I was looking for typical Russian watch, and though there were also many Japan-imported watches, I found this. It was nostalgic Soviet design which is maybe boys like this design.
What to pay: around 600-800 rubles per watch

Supermarkets in Vladivostok, or in Hotel Shops: Russian Seafood Goods!!
We found these in a random supermarket, and suppose that the price was better than that in the hotel shops.
What to buy: Salmon or Sturgeon Roe in tins or bottles, Smoked Salmon in Vacuum Packs, Scallops and many assorted dried seafood snacks such as squid or fish.
What to pay: Relatively inexpensive for all, sturgeon roe was much less than what you'd pay at say, international duty free shops, but the taste was more jelly-like and semi-transparent.
- Food and Dining
"apteca" = pharmacy, and it's open 24 hours!!: This was one of the best parts about Russia
Most any kinds of medicines, cosmetics, soaps, etc.
About 1/2 of the selections were imported, and with my handy Russian Phrasebook, the shopkeepers very helpful recommending the type of stuff I was seeking!
Directions: You'll see the sign "apteca" scattered all over the city.
Various shops all over Vladivostok: I fell in love with all these matrioshka
What to buy: There are matrioshka of all sizes, shapes, beauty, craftsmanship and of course price. Mostly they depict pretty ladies, but I saw some of Vladimir Putin, George Bush, and even one of Osama Bin Laden!!! (I honestly wonder how the US customs inspection would react if I bought one and it was seen bringing it in the US...)
Great gifts for girls, but I wasn't inspired to buy the selections available for boys. If any matrioshka craftsperson finds this message, how about painting someone like First Astronaut Yuri Gagarin, or other time-tested historical figures?
What to pay: A few dollars for 3-5 nests simple designs to severall hundred dollars upwards.
Some dolls have 10 nests or even 20 nests!

Court Finds Netherlands Liable For 300 Deaths In Srebrenica Massacre
A court in the Netherlands ruled today that the country's government was partly liable for the deaths of 300 Bosnian Muslims whom Dutch peacekeepers failed to protect in Srebrenica in 1995.
But The Associated Press notes that the court decision clears the government of liability in the deaths of the thousands of others who were killed in Srebrenica.
"Relatives of the dead welcomed the limited finding of liability, but lamented that it did not go much further," The AP added.
The court did not specify how much compensation the families of the 300 victims should receive.
Teri Schultz tells our Newscast unit that the decision could have a far-ranging impact on countries' willingness to serve in U.N. missions. She reports:
"The court says Dutch peacekeepers should have known they were sending hundreds of Bosnian Muslims to their deaths when they kicked them out of the U.N.-declared safe haven near Srebrenica during the Bosnian civil war. The Dutch soldiers handed the Bosnian Muslims over to the Bosnian Serb army, telling them they'd be 'safe.'
"Instead, most of the men in the group became some of the 8,000 victims in the Srebrenica genocide, the worst massacre in Europe since World War II. The court says the Dutch government is partially responsible for the deaths and liable to pay compensation."
The ruling comes just months after the country's Supreme Court ruled that the government was responsible for the deaths of three Muslim men in Srebrenica.

Okay so im overweight and ten weeks and 3 days pregnant... I am getting worried about my weight through the pregnancy so if I didnt really walk before I got pregnant.. ( I would do it on and off)... is it safe to do it now????????????? I just kinda want to balance my weight gain.... and look a little firmer.. I dont want to look like a straight whale during my pregnancy please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Working out...
Comments (6)
You can walk. That's just fine. What people aren't supposed to do is dive head long into a new, strenuous exercise routine, even when not pregnant. Just take it slow and easy to start out with, to get used to walking more, and then build from there. You can slowly start lifting weights, doing a stair climber if you like, and doing yoga.
Talk to your doctor of course. If you start working out and get dizzy or winded, be sure to stop, and always stay hyrdrated. Might take a little while to get used to, but if you have no problems it will help you alot physically, mentally and emotionally. Being more fit definitely helps during L&D too.
Tanja - Mommy to Peanut (1.05), Bean (3.10) and Chicken Nugget due 09.26.12!
Having kids is a lot like being pecked to death by a chicken.
I HIGHLY suggest swimming. Trust me, go swimming like 4 or 5 days a week and that will help a lot, not only will it keep you in shape, but they say that swimming is one of the best exercises you can do during pregnancy, and that it helps your equilibrium. Plus when you do swimming, it works out every muscle in your body, you dont even have to swim intensely, just take it easy, take your time, it is a very non-strenuous and relaxing exercise. Walking is also very good, its okay to walk, just dont start an intense exercise like running or basketball or anything like that.. Good luck!
I would definitely talk things over with your doctor and make sure you are monitoring your weight while beginning a new fitness program. It can be dangerous beginning a new program if you didn't do it before pregnancy. Just be careful.
Do you belong to a gym? At the YMCA, I take water aerobics, which is easy on the joints but is still a cardio workout. You can definitely walk, and you can add hand weights for resistance. Any type of exercise will help you, and it really does make you feel better. I am overweight too and I try not to get too obsessed about the weight gain. A plus for exercising is that its supposed to help make labor easier.
Good luck- Tina 30wk
mommy to Holden born 3/20/09
my suggestion is start an exercise program as soon as possible. The further along you get the harder it will be. I jogged and worked out regularly before I was pregnant, fell out of it during the first trimester (morning sickness and being so tired). I'm 30 weeks now and getting into a routine again is hard, back pain and round ligament pain and even your joints loosing up can also make it a challenge to stick with. Swimming and yoga are great suggestion! Walking is good but can take a toll on your back. Take it easy and listen to you body, Good Luck

Released: Jul 01st, 2004
Running Time: 61
Company: Heatwave Entertainment
Cast: Ginger (I), Pedro (I), Andrea Nobili, Carolina (I), Fausta Moreno, Claudia (I), Others
Critical Rating: A
Genre: Specialty
Enticing packaging might move one copy off your shelf.
This release is lost somewhere in it's own identity crisis. The production values are convincing, but the she-males are not. The male performers are more masculine than usual, but so are the she-males. The inter-scene chapter breakdown provides easy navigation, but there's nothing remarkable to skip to within each scene. The packaging is first rate, but the cast is not accurately reflected in the feature. Covergirl Ginger illicits some extremely erotica moments of androgenous sleaze, but before you know it, the vid is over after a pitifully ineffectual hour.
With no special features (despite the semantics of listing five of them!) and nothing special about the feature, this title is a step back for the genre.

City of Lewisburg – Marshall County Schools
The City of Lewisburg, in cooperation with the Marshall County Schools, is proud to announce the upcoming Walk to School Day to be held Wednesday, October 10, 2012.
This activity held in conjunction with the Tennessee Department of Transportation Safe Route to School's program, is part of a grant awarded to the City of Lewisburg that includes improvements to sidewalks and crosswalks on Tiger Boulevard and Jason Maxwell/Old Columbia Road. These improvements also include flashing lights, crosswalk warning signs, and pavement markers.
Wednesday's walk will include students in grades 3 – 8 from Marshall Elementary School and Lewisburg Middle School. Walkers will gather at Westvue Church of Christ and walk to school accompanied by city officials, school staff, community volunteers, and members of the Marshall County High School marching band and MCHS Baseball Team. The Walk to School will begin at approximately 7:45 AM and all community members and parents are invited to participate.
The grant's goal is to take steps to make pedestrian safety a priority, improve the health and environment risk related to physical inactivity and air pollution, and join together to establish walking and bicycling pathway in our communities.
Mayor Barbara Woods proclaimed the month of October as "International Walk to School Month" and encourages everyone to consider the safety and health of children this month and through the year.

Volatility ETNs can serve as tools to protect assets that you already have in your portfolio. For example, 80% of the time over the last year, the iPath S&P 500 VIX Mid-Term ETN (NYSEARCA:VXZ) moved in the opposite direction of the S&P 500 itself. It follows that an active investor could purchase exchange-traded note protection if he/she is concerned about the magnitude of this seasonal stock rally.
How should you do it? Rather than sell economically sensitive U.S. stock ETFs in your mix - possibly subjecting yourself to short-term capital gains or potentially "throwing off" your allocation - you might purchase VXZ with a weighting of 5%-10%.
The downside of doing so is fairly straightforward. VXZ is likely to drift lower if the market moves sideways. It's likely to sell off sharply if the S&P 500 experienced a parabolic rise from current levels.
Examining the downside risks, the likelihood of the S&P 500 going on a rampage after a 26% jump off the October lows seems somewhat remote. (Even bull markets tend to take "breathers.") What's more, the CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) is testing lows that haven't held up for very long during the three-year bull market period.
Click to enlarge
Even if the VIX broke to new lows, and the S&P 500 surged through 1400, iPath S&P 500 VIX Mid-Term ETN (VXZ) would probably be confined to a 10% drawdown from current levels. One can even use a stop-limit loss order to make certain of the outcome.
Now let's look at the flip side of the coin. Stock assets across the board are technically overbought, Greece could still go awry, Syria and Iran are wild cards, market gains have removed some of the pressure for Europe to act quickly to prevent debt contagion, and the U.S. economy is still growing at a pace that is far below trend. (Why else do you think that Bernanke is committed to 0% rates until 2014?)
In a pistachio nut shell, a flare-up is well within the realm of possibility ... if not the realm of probability. Even a health-restoring pullback can occur with little-to-no provacation. That's why a volatility note like iPath S&P 500 VIX Mid-Term ETN (VXZ) may act as a buffer if you're more actively-inclined.
Over the course of the last year, "VIX" volatility spiked on three occasions: (1) February tsunami-March "Arab Spring", (2) August U.S. debt ceiling debate/September Eurozone debt fears and (3) November public referendum disaster by the Greek prime minister. From the low to the highs, VXZ gained 19%, 65% and 26% respectively.
Briefly, then, one might anticipate a 20%-plus gain in VXZ during a significant spike in volatility. Moreover, it happened on three occasions last year alone, suggesting that the phenomenon is hardly infrequent.
While the small weight in the portfolio will not change your returns dramatically, it may certainly reduce total portfolio losses by 1.5% to 2%. That can be attractive when the world appears to be coming apart at the seams.
Again, iPath S&P 500 VIX Mid-Term ETN is best used as a trading tool, not a buy-n-hold-n-forget-it investment. I would consider VXZ at this particular moment because it is the furthest below its 50-day moving average (14%) at any point during the three-year stock bull. That's a seriously "oversold" ETN in a seriously "overbought" market.

Looks are certainly in the eye of the beholder, but I think this pen looks very nice. There are no markings on brushed steel at all, the only indication of brand and model being a faint stamp on the pocket clip. It's classy.
I have used many many pens, and I know all about how annoying it is when you have to "wipe" off the sides of the tip on a ball point to avoid it leaving tiny blobs of ink on the page which you will inevitably smear later with the side of your hand. I have also had many a pen that skipped so badly I needed to go back over half of my notes to "connect the dots". I'm not sure what zebra does to their ink cartridges, but they are doing something right. This pen writes very smoothly, and I have heard the same about the refills. If there is a fault, sometimes after not using it for awhile, it will take a millimeter to start, but that's rare.
I'm not sure what else to say really, it is after all only a pen. A pen that I love. I seriously think I will never use another pen. These are cheap enough to be quite cost effective, and sturdy enough that even if they weren't cheap, I'd consider them a good investment. Buy one, try it out. I just ordered two more so I'll have one for school, and one to replace the one my wife says she's taking.
My only wish is that Zebra could deliver a slightly blacker ink. Unfortunately, every pen I've ever used with a blacker ink also leaks and smears. Zebra works perfectly every time.
If there is a better pen, I haven't written with it yet. Well done Zebra.
It's not an entirely stainless steel pen, how this pen is assembled is that inside of the steel barrel, is a plastic insert to which both ends of the pen, tip and clicker retaining ring, screw into. A barrel within a barrel if you will. Also the clicker retaining ring is plastic as you can see in the pictures; the black ring at the top. So while it may be made of steel, the parts are still screwed into plastic which pretty much defeats the entire purpose of constructing a pen out of a metal only to have both ends screw into the same cheap plastic that the disposable dime a dozen pens are made of.
The reason the above info is relevant is because my pen broke, but it didn't get lodged in some gears, get run over by a forklift, or get thrown across the building. It rolled off top of an office laser printer, 3.5 feet tall, onto the steel floor and BAM, the clicker retaining ring broke and all of the internals of the pen shot out. LAME! So much for heavy duty, ay?
This is kind of a long review for a simple pen but I'm pretty disappointed that I bought a single pen plus a pack of 2 refills for like 10 bucks (from Staples), then have it totally and utterly fail from something as simple as a 3.5 foot drop. On that same printer is a plastic clicky pen that you can grab for FREE from your bank and it's lasted through far more abuse than this "heavy duty" pen has.
If you want a Zebra pen stick with the F-301 and skip this.Read more ›

This plugin is okay, but the call to home for the purpose of pushing ads earns it a 1 star rating. Not only do ads get pushed to the plugin itself, but to the Dashboard also. Sorry, in my opinion, self-promotion in this manner amounts to spam.
Dude, if you're going to bother developing a free version of your plugin, don't use it to spam. If I really want a "Cyber Monday" deal on your plugin, I'll come to you. Don't come to me.
Refer to paragraph 3 of section 7 of the Detailed Developer's Guidelines - In general, things like banner or text link advertising should not be anywhere in a plugin, including on its settings screen.
I would think this ESPECIALLY applies to the Dashboard.

It tells you what signal is out there
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I like how it warns you by speaking. Ka, k, x, bands and laser. Which is useful. I have already spotted 3 cops using Ka bands. Warns you from a low signal all the way to a solid signal if they literally by you. Works well, helps me regulate my speed in areas that are highly policed.
Pros: Talks. KA, K, X, LASER, POP. Red-light camera and speed camera. And yes they all work.
Cons: Updates could be better. The cord is short, needs a longer one. And it doesn't come with a USB cord for the updates. You have to buy that separately.

This is the address of my site, it is still being built http://www.type4screen.com
I have been battling with trying to make the current navigation link remain highlighted...it just seems impossible. I feel really stupid posting this again.
I have followed previously posted topics (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/27626) and I have tried to decipher (http://codex.wordpress.org/Dynamic_Menu_Highlighting) and I just can't understand (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/keepingcurrent/) in the context of a WP site.
Can anyone tell me how to apply this in the context of wp kubrick theme? For example, my navigation is in the sidebar.php and it doesn't list each page in the code the way the examples cited above show it like this...

Page One

Page Two

Page Three

Page Four
In my sidebar.php, as I understand it the navigation side bar is generated from the way wp pages and categories are created - so each item on my navigation bar is not listed explicitly as it appears in the examples. How do I specify ids for each of my pages and categories that are created within wordpress and where do I put these ids the sidebar.php code? The code from my sidebar.php is at the end of this post.
Also in the header.php, what code do I write instead of the following (listed in the examples).
if ( is_page('Page One') ) { $current = 'one'; }
elseif ( is_page('Page Two') ) { $current = 'two'; }
elseif ( is_page('Page Three') ) { $current = 'three'; }
elseif ( is_page('Page Four') ) { $current = 'four'; }
In the header.php, how should I specify each page that I have created eg. Introduction, Articles, Literature review etc...
if ( is_page('Introduction') ) { $current = 'introduction'; }
elseif ( is_page('Articles') ) { $current = 'Articles'; }
elseif ( is_page('Literature Review') ) { $current = 'Literature review'; }
Also this is the inline css that I put in the header.php, can you tell me what is wrong with this...

After reading about ferrofluids (liquids with magnetic properties) in MAKE, I started trying to make my own. I learned how to electrolyze water with iron electrodes to create magnetite — a jet-black iron-oxide — and realized the same process could be used to make simple metal oxide pigments. Instead of just buying supplies at the art store, I wanted to make a painting truly "from scratch."
Electrolysis is the process of using direct current to cause a chemical reaction that would not otherwise occur. It requires an electrolyte, 2 electrodes, and a current source. It has many applications, but the most common is probably electroplating, which is used, for example, to coat a large piece of cheaper metal with a small amount of a more expensive one that is more attractive or a
better conductor.
My pigment-making process is dirt simple. The current source is an old cellphone charger with the plug cut off. The electrodes are pieces of common metal hardware, and because they're identical I don't have to pay attention to the current's polarity. The electrolyte is just salt water.
The reaction takes 3 hours and produces a brownish-black mixture of iron oxyhydroxides. It can be repeated with copper electrodes to give a vibrant orange.
This process creates a small amount of hydrochloric acid in the dish. It won't be a lot, but if you keep your hands submerged in it long enough, you could get a rash. It also creates a small amount of chlorine gas, which is poisonous! Work on a small scale in a large, well-ventilated room. Do not attempt to use this process to make large quantities of metal oxides. Finally, it creates large amounts of hydrogen and oxygen gases, which can be explosive if allowed to build up. Again, stick to small scales and work with plenty of ventilation, away from ignition sources.
Water on its own is a poor conductor, so we add an ionic chemical — in this case sodium chloride — to increase its conductivity. Pour a small amount of salt into the glass dish. Fill about halfway with water and stir to dissolve.
Plug in the charger. You should see bubbles coming off the screws. Stir occasionally with a small paintbrush, breaking up any chunks and brushing off the electrodes. Unplug the charger after 3 hours.
The water should begin to turn yellow within minutes. After an hour, you should see black iron hydroxide settling on the bottom of the dish (photo 2). The bubbles will probably have lifted some to the surface, where it will turn red or orange. After 2-3 hours, the water should be almost completely opaque (photo 3). The cathode should be covered with scale.

The European Union has frozen nearly one billion euros in funding for Polish roads, as prosecutors here pressed charges against 11 people suspected of price fixing tenders in road works co-funded by the EU.
"The (European) Commission has, as a precaution, interrupted payments until the situation is clarified, the necessary control measures are taken and the extent of the problem is established," it said in a statement Thursday, adding that the "Commission has ZERO TOLERANCE when it comes to to fraud".
The EU is demanding the Poles investigate and act "to protect themselves and to remedy any damage", including "recovering any public funds".
"We would like to see these payments resumed as soon as possible and are hopeful this will be the case as the Polish authorities have an excellent record in managing funds well and efficiently," the Commission statement said.
Polish prosecutors charged 10 senior managers from top construction firms -- including Austria's Strabag and France's Eurovia -- and a director of the country's GDDKiA road agency on suspicion of being involved in a price cartel.
The total 957 million euros ($1.3 billion) frozen by the Commission are part of a larger four billion euro package destined to upgrade the country's communist-era road infrastructure.
The Commission's move, coming just days ahead of an EU summit next week aimed at thrashing out the bloc's seven-year budget, sparked furore in Warsaw.
Elzbieta Bienkowska, minister for regional development, termed the funding freeze "very strange".
"Poland is the victim in this case, because it's the Polish justice administration that discovered the alleged illegal price cartel among road works companies," she told reporters.
Deputy transport minister Patrycja Wolinska-Bartkiewicz slammed the freeze as "unjustified" insisting that "the Polish system managing and auditing European funds works correctly".
Warsaw hopes to resolve the issue before the end of March in order to be able to keep planned road works on schedule, Bienkowska said.

Who is the hottest girl in gown?
[ Sun, Feb 2, 2014 ]
Awards season is on full swing! From Filmfare to Screen and Star Guild to what not - Bollywood walas are busy hopping around from one event to the other looking perfect to the T dressed in the most stylish ensembles.
When all eyes are on who wore what, 'putting their best foot forward' becomes a mandate for the stars.
While men slip into their best tuxedos, Bollywood beauties prefer to make a style statement in gorgeous gowns.
So, here are some of the most ravishing and bedazzling gown-moments straight from the red carpet...
Deepika Padukone
Everyone knows that Deepika outshone every contemporary to emerge as the all new queen bee of Bollywood.
And at the recently held Filmfare Awards, her bright and bedazzling future reflected in her Gaurav Gupta gown.
It was a gorgeous golden gown for Deepika, with strategically placed cut outs.
We loved it on her and how! Add to it the 80's hairdo and the red pout and she was a head turner on the red carpet!
Priyanka Chopra
She's one lady who rarely gets it wrong.
For the award night PC, picked up McQueen for the red carpet and gorgeous she looked.
From jewelery to hairdo, everything shouted perfection.
This woman taken image makeover to a different level.
From being a careless dresser to one of the most well-dressed mommies of Bollywood, Kajol has come a long way.
For the awards night, Kajol opted for a Nandita Mahtani gown.
Not that we don't like her. She looks stunning in the black and white number, if only she would have chosen something more elaborate to suit the event.
This one has a little casual appeal to it.
Shruti Hassan
Hale and hearty after her recent surgery, Shruti Hassan rocked the recently held Filmfare awards dressed in a black Gauri and Nayanika Gown.
The halter neck gown did everything to flatter her slvette figure, while the high knot was an intelligent choice considering the neckline.
What more? We loved her choice of red pout and Valliyan by Nitya earrings that completed her sexy look.
Vaani Kapoor
Shuddh Desi Romance babe, Vaani Kapoor appeared like a dream dressed in a Nikhil Thampi gown.
She looked mesmerizing in the cutout gown and Louboutins.
We also love those stack of bangles.
Soha Ali Khan
Apart from beau Kunal Khemu, it was a Fen Ferns strapless gown for Soha Ali Khan on the red carpet.
While the colour and the fit suited her to the T, if only she could have done something better with her hair.
Huma Qureshi
After many heart-breaking appearances, Ms.Qureshi impressed us with her latest gown outing.
The Dedh Ishqiya babe chose a Gauri and Nayanika gown with thigh high slit and ruffles for the occasion and looked gorgeous.
Swara Bhaskar
The Ranjhanaa star chose a Geisha Designs cape-let gown for the Filmfare awards night.
The lace gown in pastel shade looked elegant, but a dash of colour would have uplifted the mood of the dress as well as suited the event.
Even some rouge on the lips would have done the trick.
Swara completed the look with hair tied back and Renu Oberoi earrings.
Southern beauty, who made her Bollywood debut with the torturous Himmatwala attended the award night dressed in a red hot Gauri and Nayanika gown.
She looked breath-takingly sexy in the otherwise simple ensemble, which was uplifted by the right smokey make-up and puffed hairdo.
Sophie Choudry
This singing star is known for making stupendous appearances.
It's a rarity that she gets it wrong and even in her last outing she looked stunning.
Recently, Sophie was spotted in an orange BCBG gown, which looked great when teamed up with diamond and emerald drop earrings and box clutch.
Pallavi Sharda
Before you ask Pallavi who? She's the Besharam girl...err... leading lady of Ranbir Kapoor starrer Besharam.
So, at the awards night she chose a ABS by Allen Schwartz jersey gown.
While the front of the gown was simple, it was the plunging back that was an eye grabber, especially the zipper detailing.
Illeana D'Souza
Illeana D'Souza, who is seen on Mai Tera Hero posters these days, was spotted wearing a Pucci gown in black.
We didn't find her impressive at all. She has done far better on earlier occasions.
The Mere Dad Ki Maruti gilr Rhea, looked stunning in the cobalt blue Sailex.
Even in this ensemble the magic lied at the back and the lady carried it off well too!
Aditi Rao Hydari
First word that comes out as we look at Aditi is - Black Swan! She chose a Gaura Gupta Couture gown for the do.
She completed the super shiny look with a up do and beaded silver head-band.
Only put off - those metallic sandals.
Richa Chaddha
Lady in red Richa looked supah hot in the Leger ruffled gown.
How we wish she could have done something about those ruffles and shoes.
Prachi Desai
Petite Prachi just lost her Jolie moment to hemline issues in this Swapnil Shinde gown.
Embellished bodice, thigh high slit and sheer paneled neckline - a lot was happening in the ensemble that took away the attention from Prachi.

The German completed a transfer deadline day move to Arsenal for £42.5 million and Mourinho this week compared his former player to all-time greats Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane.
"Ozil is unique, there is no copy of him, not even a bad one," he said.
"He is the best No.10 in the world. He made things easier for me and his team-mates with his vision of the game and the decisions that he made.
"Everybody loves him and you can see a bit of Figo and Zidane in him."
Arsenal made an approach for Ba on the final day of the summer transfer window and looked set to take the Senegalese striker on a season-long deal, but their signing of the 24-year-old Ozil resulted in Mourinho personally blocking the move.
"I did not accept Arsenal's offer for Demba Ba because added to their signing of Ozil, they would have been title contenders," he said, in quotes reported by various national newspapers.
Wenger had prioritised a new striker all summer, but, with Olivier Giroud his only fit and recognised striker available, he was forced to call off the proposed sale of Nicklas Bendtner.

U.S. home prices climbed 5.6 percent in the 12 months through November as buyers competed for a dwindling inventory of properties, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
Prices rose 0.6 percent from October on a seasonally adjusted basis, the FHFA said Wednesday in a report from Washington.
The average estimate of 15 economists in a Bloomberg survey was for a 0.7 percent advance.
The index is 15 percent below its April 2007 peak and about the same as the August 2004 level.
Home prices have been climbing as growing employment and low borrowing costs fuel demand.
Sales of existing homes fell 1 percent in December to a 4.94 million annual rate, restrained by the tight supply of available properties, figures from the National Association of Realtors showed Tuesday.
"Rising prices are good news at this point and they are making the difference," Patrick Newport, an economist at IHS Global Insight in Lexington, Mass., said in a telephone interview. "It brings in more buyers and sellers and lubricates the housing market. It's going to stimulate sales."
The 12-month advance was led by a 15 percent jump in the region that includes Arizona, Nevada and Colorado.
Prices increased 11 percent in the area that includes California, Washington and Oregon.
The smallest gain was in the region that includes New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where values rose 0.5 percent.
The FHFA data, which is based on single-family houses with mortgages backed by Fannie Mae (OTC: FNMA) or Freddie Mac (OTC: FMCC), doesn't provide a specific price.
The median price of an existing single-family home, as measured by the National Association of Realtors, was $180,800 last month, up 12 percent from a year earlier.
The real-estate agents' report Wednesday showed a total of 4.65 million homes were sold last year, up 9.2 percent from 4.26 million in 2011 and the most since 2007.
The annual advance was the biggest since 2004.
