Paddy Considine and Diarmid Scrimshaw were awarded the Outstanding British Debut BAFTA for their film Tyrannosaur. Find out more about the winners and each of the nominees.
"As soon as I can get behind the camera again I will" Paddy Considine
Paddy Considine (Director), Diarmid Scrimshaw (Producer)
Tyrannosaur is the story of the unlikely relationship between Joseph, an unemployed widower plagued by a rage that is driving him to self-destruction, and Hannah, a Christian charity shop worker, who is hiding a secret which has a devastating result on both of their lives.
Paddy Considine is a well-known British actor whose film roles include The Bourne Ultimatum, My Summer of Love, In America, Hot Fuzz, 24 Hour Party People and Submarine (directed by fellow nominee Richard Ayoade). He is particularly associated with Shane Meadows following roles in A Room for Romeo Brass, Le Donk and Scor-Zay-Zee and Dead Man's Shoes, which he also co-wrote. He won a BAFTA in 2007 for his first short film, Dog Altogether, which was a treatment for Tyrannosaur.
Diarmid Scrimshaw produced Dog Altogether, for which he also won a BAFTA and also produced most of the visual content for the Arctic Monkeys including their feature-length concert film Arctic Monkeys At The Apollo (directed by Richard Ayoade), and the short film Scummy Man, which was nominated for Berlin's Golden Bear. Other producing credits include the short films Curtains (written and directed by Julian Barratt and Dan Jemmett), The Mighty Boosh Live: Future Sailors Tour (directed by Paul King), and most recently the intro cinematic for DJHero (nominated for a Visual Effect Society award).

Taking turns, we got onto the seats, while the elephants still knelt on the ground. There was no delicate way of climbing the elephant's back and squirming into the seat, and this was another job for the mahouts and the trainers—easing the timid and top-heavy guests into seated positions.
We set out in a long and straggling file, heading across the swamp water, looking for animals. The mahout seated on the elephant's neck talked much of the time to the elephant, urging it onward, cautioning it, mildly scolding it when—as frequently happened—the elephant took a hunger-determined detour from the route and, tearing at bunches of palm leaves, decided to eat a whole tree. We were aimed in a general direction, a long file of elephants, great and small, some of them with humans on their backs, and we saw impala and zebra and wart hogs, and a profusion of birds; but the strongest impression I had of this outing was of a herd of elephants, idly grazing.
"Move up, move up. Come on, Cathy—move up," Big Joe called out. And I could hear the other mahouts exhorting their elephants.
But the elephants were hungry, there was no way to dissuade a famished elephant from its food—and as far as the eye could see there was food in this glittering swamp. The elephants wrenched at leafy boughs, and crammed palm fronds into their pink mouths, and they twirled tall stands of grass with their trunks and uprooted whole sheaves of it to eat.
"Move it up!"
The cry "Move it up" did very little to provoke Cathy to move from her meal, and I could not really see the point of trying to convince this snorting and masticating beast that it was a better idea to keep moving than finish eating the tree she was stabbing with her tusks and tearing apart with her trunk.
But the experience of riding an elephant past the wildlife on the grassy banks and the herons in the channels under the high blue sky was something unimaginable to me, and though objectively I could see that the elephant was enormous, and I had always felt elephants were dangerous, I felt safe from any predators. What animal would dare attack this big-tusked creature? Its only true enemy was a human, armed with an enormous gun.
We proceeded to an island between two channels where there was a mud wallow. The elephants, relieved of their riders and seats, rolled in the soft muck and sprayed water over themselves, while we few guests sipped mineral water, seated in camp chairs, some snapping pictures, others making notes in journals.
Riding on a trained elephant, gazing upon wild elephants: It was like nothing I had ever done or seen, and, as far as I knew, it had no parallel in Africa. Added to the fact that Abu Camp was an island of luxury in the bush was the novelty of elephants for transport, and the staff working so hard to please the guests. I could understand the travel writer gushing for the magazine, writing pieces about where pachyderms play and recalling the meals: Antelope steaks sizzled on the grill as we were plied with wild mushroom risotto, cauliflower gratin, tiramisu, Veuve Clicquot...And as we sat drinking and talking an enormous hyena appeared out of nowhere....
I had seen elephants in Africa before—they are unmissable features of the landscape, visible from a mile away, and they are dauntless, never hurrying or circumspect and hunted-looking as most other African game seems. Elephants own the bush, where they are right at home, ambling in family groups, going wherever they wish. If they decide to eat a tree, they will do so, and are well known for tearing a baobab to pieces with their tusks, for the juicy pulp. If you are in their way, they will trample you and keep going. They never give the impression that they need anyone or anything. Because of their size and their appetite they spend much of the day eating. The oddity of Abu was that these elephants, born in the wild, had been captured and dominated, taught to submit to humans climbing on them.

One Last Flight
On silver wings the Phantom flies; A mighty steed across the endless skies,
She's searching for battle, for one more fight, Before she comes in from her
last flight. With thundering power, she banks and turns, And even her pilot can
feel how she yearns. She plunges ahead, begging for race, For not many a bird
can match her fiery pace. Her throttles move forward, her engines roar; The
clouds stream past, she asks for more. The wind strains to catch her and begs
for a chance, To waltz with her on her last dance. The music departs and the
wind blows by, As twilight's glow touches the sky. Her journey is over, her
battles all won, As she settles to earth, like the setting sun. Her engines are
silent now, she won't fly again, But her legend will live on in the dreams of
men. Author Unknown It It was a great privledge to have worked on such a battle
proven aircraft such is the F4 Phantom. I am a former Marine and I will cherish
those 8 years that I served, forever. God Bless and Semper Fi!! John D.

SAO PAULO (AP) - Scattered street demonstrations popped up around Brazil Wednesday as protesters continued their collective cry against the low-quality public services they receive in exchange for high taxes and rising prices.
In one of several protests, about 200 people blocked the Anchieta Highway that links Sao Paulo, the country's biggest city, and the port of Santos before heading to the industrial suburb of Sao Bernardo do Campo on Sao Paulo's outskirts. Another group of protesters later obstructed the highway again.
In the northeastern city of Fortaleza, some 15,000 protesters clashed with police trying to prevent them from reaching the Castelao stadium where Brazil were to play Mexico in the Confederations Cup soccer tournament on Wednesday.
Riot police used gas bombs and pepper spray to keep protesters from advancing past a barrier some 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) away from venue. A police car was burned by the demonstrators, who also threw rocks and other objects at the officers. The protest disrupted fans' efforts to access the stadium for Brazil's second match at the World Cup warm-up tournament.
'We are against a government which spends billions in stadiums while people are suffering across the country,' said Natalia Querino, a 22-year-old student participating in the protest. 'We want better education, more security and a better health system.'
Earlier, hundreds of protesters cut off the main access road to the stadium, and police responded by diverting traffic away from the road. Official vehicles of tournament organizers FIFA were among those struggling to reach the stadium.
In the city of Belo Horizonte some 2,000 protesters took to the streets in a peaceful demonstration, while others were reported to be gathering in Niteroi, across Guanabara Bay from Rio de Janeiro.
The actions followed another night of mass marches around Brazil and nearly a week of unrest that has shocked the country's leaders ahead of a papal visit next month and next year's World Cup soccer tournament.
Beginning as protests against bus fare hikes, the demonstrations have quickly ballooned to include broad middle-class outrage over the failure of governments to provide basic services and ensure public safety, even as the country's economy modernizes and tax rates remain some of the highest in the world.
Protest organizers, who have widely employed social media, said new mass demonstrations will be held in Sao Paulo and Rio on Thursday. The Rio action promises the most volatility, with protesters planning to march to Maracana stadium where Spain and Tahiti will meet in a Confederations Cup match. Police have said they will not allow protesters to interrupt the game.
Fortaleza, Rio, Belo Horizonte, Salvador and Brasilia have received soldiers from Brazil's elite National Force to bolster security during tournament games.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter urged protesters Wednesday to stop linking their anger against the government to the Confederations Cup. The cost of building stadiums for the FIFA tournaments has been a regular complaint at marches.
In an interview with Brazil's Globo TV network broadcast, Blatter said he could 'understand that people are not happy, but they should not use football to make their demands heard.'
Blatter added: 'We did not impose the World Cup on Brazil.'
On Tuesday night, tens of thousands of Brazilians flooded central Sao Paulo, with the protest following the rhythm of mobilizations that drew some 240,000 people across Brazil the previous night. Though mostly peaceful, small bands of radicals split off in Sao Paulo to fight with police.
Fernando Grella Vieira, head of the Sao Paulo state public safety department, said 63 people were detained during Tuesday's protests. He told the Globo TV network on Wednesday that police would guarantee the right to demonstrate but would 'repress all forms of vandalism.'
Local governments in at least four cities have responded to the unrest by agreeing to reverse bus and subway fare hikes, and Sao Paulo's fare hike could also be rolled back. It's not clear that will calm the country, though, with the protests already expanding to take on a wide range of other issues.
Beyond complaints about transit fares, protesters haven't produced any concrete demands even as they've waved signs, gone on social media and chanted their anger at the entire governing system. A common cry at the rallies: 'No parties!'
'What I hope comes from these protests is that the governing class comes to understand that we're the ones in charge, not them, and the politicians must learn to respect us,' said Yasmine Gomes, a 22-year-old squeezed into the plaza in central Sao Paulo where Tuesday night's protest began.
President Dilma Rousseff, a former leftist guerrilla who was imprisoned and tortured during Brazil's 1964-85 dictatorship, has hailed the protests for raising questions and strengthening Brazil's democracy. 'Brazil today woke up stronger,' she said in a statement Tuesday.
Yet Rousseff offered no actions that her government might take to address complaints.
The protests have raised troubling questions about the country's ability to provide security ahead of it playing host to some of the world's biggest events, including the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
And Brazil's media has scrambled to cover the sprawling protests, while at times sparking the ire of protesters, with the powerful Globo TV network in particular drawing derision.
Whenever what appears to be a Globo helicopter swoops over a demonstration, protesters hiss, raise their fists and chant slogans against what they say was the network's failure to widely show images of a violent police crackdown on protesters last week in Sao Paulo.
Such mass protests are rare in this 190 million-person country, with demonstrations generally attracting small numbers of politicized participants.
Many now protesting in Brazil's streets hail from the country's growing middle class, which government figures show has ballooned by some 40 million people over the past decade amid a commodities-driven economic boom.
The protesters say they've lost patience with endemic problems such as government corruption and inefficiency. They're also slamming Brazil's government for spending billions of dollars to host the World Cup and Olympics while leaving other needs unmet.
A November government report raised to $13.3 billion the projected cost of stadiums, airport renovations and other projects for the World Cup. City, state and other local governments are spending more than $12 billion on projects for the Olympics in Rio.
Attorney Agatha Rossi de Paula, who attended Tuesday's protest in Sao Paulo along with her mother, called Brazil's fiscal priorities 'an embarrassment.'
'We just want what we paid in taxes back, through health care, education and transportation,' said the 34-year-old. 'We want the police to protect us, to help the people on the streets who have ended up with no job and no money.'
So far, the mass gatherings have shown no evidence of any central leadership, although they've been tied to smaller activist organizations such as one asking for lower transit fares. Groups of Brazilians have also staged small protests in other countries, including Mexico, Portugal, Spain and Denmark.
A cyber-attack knocked the government's official World Cup site offline Tuesday, and the Twitter feed for Brazil's Anonymous hackers group posted links to a host of other government websites whose content had been replaced by a screen calling on citizens to come out to the streets.

Earlier this morning we posted a brief quote from Kobe Bryant about Jack Taylor, the Division III player who scored 138 points in a game last night. It was excellent (via Kevin Ding of the OC Register):
"Really? That's crazy. He must've been wearing Mambas, because only Mambas have no conscience to shoot that much."
Now we have the full transcript of what Kobe said from Lakers writer Dave McMenamin, and it's even better. The best bit:
"Would people be celebrating me if I scored 138 points? You know how it is, some people would, some people wouldn't. They can all kiss my a-- as I'm sure he feels the same way. If you score 138 points, you kind of have a license to tell people to f--- off."
Kobe has no filter this year. A timeline:
- During training camp he launched an unprovoked attack on former teammate Smush Parker, calling him, "the worst."
- During preseason, Dwight Howard made headlines by saying that doing the Gangnam Style dance was part of his rehab from a back injury. Someone asked Kobe why he didn't do the dance, and Kobe said, "I don't ride horseys."
- After a few games, Kobe called Lakers critics "stupid" and said everyone needed to "shut up."
- He shot a death stare at his coach.
- He praised interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff by saying, "He's good. He's getting the f--- out of the way."
It's refreshing.

Feb 14, 2012 at 12:34People that know me know very well that I'm very strickly ANTI-Junk food. Few months ago I was literally dragged into CBJ. A festival to my taste buds... a parade walked over my tongue... I saw fireworks and heard the hallelujah chorus. Since then, it's on my green allowed list of foods. Last time I visited was at the new Zaitounay Bay branch, cute setup, yet the waiters should be taught that there is a difference between being friendly and tooooooo friendly. The waiters were awfully loud, they were walking around joking and laughing with each other (few curses were heard)... My waiter actually tried talking me OUT of my order because he said it was "too heavy". This place is destined for greatness. I love the idea of how its 100% Lebanese franchise too! I'm in love with the food and crowds attracted there, not keen about the "friendly" waiters.
Jan 11, 2011 at 23:06Ok, it is burgers, again, but it is good burgers! Fresh food, clean polace, quick and smily service, and no smoking allowed: you need a burger, go there!
Dec 6, 2010 at 15:01Great burgers! looking forward for the opening of the new branch in Jal el Dib and what I like the most is that no smoking is allowed
Oct 21, 2010 at 00:27Lovely atmosphere, great burgers! I will come back for more.
Jul 1, 2011 at 22:52I would give it 5 stars just because it is a non smoking restaurant + the service in Jal el Dib is great, the food is good too.
Aug 8, 2011 at 13:56Great place, great food, great taste, great atmosphere. I'll give it a 10/10.PS: I am loyal to CBJ, you rock guys.
May 2, 2015 at 10:38The burgers are awesome. Can't ask for better. However the restaurant has basic facilities like seats and tables which limit comfort during the visit. I would prefer more comfortable atmosphere to have lunch or dinner at.
Feb 21, 2012 at 14:27The burger was good but I didn't like the atmosphere in the Jal El Dib branch (the lighting, the music...).Besides, I parked my car in front of the restaurant by myself and I had to pay the valet!
Jun 12, 2013 at 09:48First of all nice atmosphere in all branches.Second very special burgers.Third very delicious burgers.
Nov 22, 2014 at 09:57Visited the Hamra branch, ordered the classic burger plate which includes fries and coleslaw. I GOT THE SURPRISE OF THE YEAR; the coleslaw's portion was literally 1 tablespoon put in the smallest cup ever; the cup that restaurants use for dip portions. Hence the price is not right for the portions served. I won't visit again.

For Baylor's Seastrunk, happiness then Heisman?
WACO, Texas – Here is Lache Seastrunk's prediction, a few months back, on what he'll accomplish this season: "I'm going to win the Heisman. I'm going to win it in 2013. If I don't, I'm going to get very close."
Here is his explanation, last summer, for why he left Oregon for Baylor: "Honestly, I felt like I wasn't good enough."
PREVIOUSLY:Baylor builds Big 12 contender, perhaps more
COACHES POLL:Bears check in at No. 19
How to reconcile the comments? The junior running back doesn't really try. Maybe there's no way to do it – or perhaps there's no need. It's just honest confidence, and honesty about a time when he had very little.
"I speak my mind," Seastrunk says. "What you see is what you get. That's just my personality, I guess."
What we're seeing is the emergence of Seastrunk as perhaps the most dangerous weapon in one of the nation's most dangerous offenses. At 2-0, No. 19 Baylor has designs on a conference championship, and more. Rather than backing down, Seastrunk is upping the ante.
"Big 12 championship. National championship. Heisman Trophy," he says.
The Heisman prediction was initially made to The Sporting News last December before Baylor played UCLA in the Holiday Bowl. Seastrunk rushed for 138 yards and was named the game's offensive MVP, continuing a fast finish to his sophomore season, when he played for the first time since high school. Coming off the bench, he had 181 yards through the first seven games, then had 831 yards in the last six. He looked, finally, like one of the nation's most highly sought recruits out of Temple, Texas, a first-team All-USA running back along with Marcus Lattimore.
Given that performance, and with the context of what he saw firsthand in 2011, when Robert Griffin III won the Heisman at Baylor, why wouldn't Seastrunk think it was possible? But Seastrunk said it was more theology than certainty.
"You've got to speak your goals into existence," Seastrunk said. "That's the power of the tongue. So I speak my goals into existence. I want them to happen and I work hard for it, so why not? Why cannot my dream come true?
"Some people laughed, but I was always told if people don't laugh, your goals are not high enough. And they used to laugh – but now they're like, 'Maybe we really think he can.' "
Baylor coach Art Briles doesn't mind.
"It might not be the answer that everybody wants," Briles says, "but it's an honest answer and I'm OK with it. I want him to prepare to be the best in America. The higher the performance levels that you place on yourself, the harder you'll work to achieve them."
Anyone who's paid attention to Seastrunk's emergence isn't laughing. Through two games – though against inferior opponents in Wofford and Buffalo – the 5-10, 212-pound speedster has continued where he left off in 2012. He's averaging 130.5 rushing yards and 15 points, with an active streak of six consecutive 100-yard rushing games.
"He's very dynamic," junior quarterback Bryce Petty says. "It doesn't take very long to see that. He immediately jumpstarted our offense. Each time he touches it he's a deep-play threat."
So what happened at Oregon? Not good enough? Oregon running backs coach Gary Campbell says that's wrong.
"I think maybe he was saying what he thought, that we felt he wasn't good enough, and that wasn't true," Campbell says. "He was just a little impatient."
Seastrunk was also embroiled in a little intrigue. Until recently, he was primarily known as the player whose recruitment, aided by Willie Lyles, landed Oregon in NCAA hot water. Amid all of the turmoil, Seastrunk never got onto the field. The Ducks never even saw whether he was worth all of the trouble.
Lyles told several media outlets, and NCAA investigators, too, that he was paid $25,000 for "influence and access" to recruits. The most notable was Seastrunk, who was rated as highly as the nation's No. 2 overall prospect by MaxPreps. The check was cut just weeks after he signed with Oregon.
RELATED:Lache Seastrunk took roundabout route to Baylor
RELATED:No. 2 Oregon gets week off after dominant start
Seastrunk wasn't accused of wrongdoing. He says he chose Oregon on his own, and wasn't steered by Lyles. But from the time the story broke, his name was inextricably linked to the controversy.
"Every time he made a play or had an outstanding game, that would have come up," Campbell said. "It's probably better for him that he did get away and get a fresh start."
A few months later, in August 2011, he transferred to Baylor, 30 minutes from his hometown. His grandmother was ill. After a redshirt season at Oregon, he had started preseason practices behind LaMichael James, who'd been a Heisman Trophy finalist the year before, and Kenjon Barner. True freshman De'Anthony Thomas quickly passed him on the depth chart.
Seastrunk says he figured, "If I'm not gonna play, I might as well be home and take care of my family, take care of my priorities." Though he says he hasn't remained in touch with most of his former teammates, "there are no hard feelings, at all."
"I learned a lot from being at Oregon," Seastrunk says. "That taught me a lot. Life isn't fair. Everything happens for a reason, and God is going to put you through trials and tribulations to see where your faith is. I think I passed that, you know. It happened the way it happened.
"I honestly just feel like I just wasn't good enough. That's why I didn't play."
Campbell says Seastrunk hadn't practiced well enough or matured enough to push for playing time in a loaded backfield. He says if Seastrunk had stuck around, he would have had similar success.
"He went down there (to Baylor) and waited a year like he would have probably had to do here," Campbell says. "He would probably have had the same amount of success (at Oregon), but he felt like he needed to move. … He needed that maturity time. He just got it in a different place."
But the change of scenery might have been vital. Seastrunk says he was glad to be able to return home, to spend time with his family and childhood friends. Where he was known around Eugene as a quiet, shy guy, his new teammates and coaches describe an extrovert with, as Petty puts it, a "bubbly personality."
"It's a happy wife, happy what?" Briles says, then supplies the answer: "Life. If you're in a situation where you're happy, you have a lot better opportunity to really perform at a higher level."
But when it's suggested that Seastrunk's Oregon experience was an unfortunate chapter, Briles chuckles.
"It's unfortunate depending on who you're talking to," he says. "It's fortunate for us that he decided to leave and come here."

North Carolina asked the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday to put a hold on last month's federal appeals court ruling that struck down one of the nation's toughest voter ID laws, NBC News Reported.
The state is asking to continue to enforce its voter ID law, which was in effect during this year's primary, and also to limit early voting to 10 days instead of 17 as the state originally did, and to bar pre-registration by 16 year olds. It said these measures will "avoid voter confusion."
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals decided in July that the state legislature explicitly set out to discover what kind of accommodations minority voters use most often and then to roll back or eliminate them, targeting African Americans "with almost surgical precision."

Priest attends cousin's wedding, says reading; Reflected on permanent record
It's not exactly a newsflash that the Catholic Church doesn't support same-sex marriage, but Connecticut priest Father Michael Devito is making headlines this week after he received an official rebuke from his archdiocese for attending the same-sex wedding of his cousin, where he also delivered a reading.
The wedding announcement in the New York Times makes it sound like Father DeVito was assisting with celebrating the ceremony. However, in the archdiocese's official statement on the matter, it notes that "[DeVito's] participation in the ceremony was limited to doing a reading. He wore no vestments, but had worn his Roman collar."
The statement continues: "Archbishop Mansell informed Father DeVito that his participation in this ceremony was understandably perceived by many Catholics as an implicit endorsement of same-sex marriage, which is contrary to Church teaching. As a consequence, and in accordance with canon law, the Archbishop formally rebuked Father DeVito and informed him that the rebuke would be a permanent part of his record."
So, a Catholic priest saying a reading at the marriage ceremony of a family member constitutes an implicit endorsement of something contrary to church teaching, but when Cardinal Timothy Dolan delivered prayers at both the Republican and Democratic national conventions, he attended these political events "solely as a pastor, only to pray, not to endorse any party, platform, or candidate"?
DeVito said that he would not participate in any future same-sex marriages (which 53 percent of Catholics have expressed approval of).

A priori
For more information, see the Wikipedia article:
An a priori argument is one that does not rely on evidence but rather on logic and reasoning. This means that an a priori argument can never be proved wrong (as no evidence can be produced against it) but simultaneously it can never be proved right.
A priori arguments are generally considered weaker than a posteriori arguments.

Affordable Antiques: Tips on how to bid at auction
The time is right for value-seekers to land some real deals at auction.
Written by Doris Athineos
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 12
Emboldened by the current lull in the antiques market? The time is right for value-seekers to land some real deals at auction.
These are just the kind of chairs you're likely to bump into in a swank Art Deco hotel lobby. To own this pair of vintage club chairs trimmed in black lacquer, the winning bidder raised her paddle at Christie's South Kensington last October. The new owner snagged the Deco duo for the low estimate, $550 each.
- One technique for taking some air out of the auctioneer's sail is to slice the bid increments in half (politely state your bid in $50 or $25 jumps).
With the leftover dough, you can splurge on a striking cocktail cabinet made of figured walnut in the Thirties. A rarity in living rooms today, cocktail cabinets were once America's answer to Europe's curiosity cabinets. And if staycations remain popular, cocktail cabinets will too. This antique walnut mini bar opens to reveal bird's-eye-maple-lined shelves. At almost six-feet tall, the cabinet didn't create a stir at Christie's where it went for a bargain $1,948, not clearing its low estimate ($3,258).
- At auction, bidders must decide on the spot (always preview the goods a few days before the sale).
Like a killer sample sale, the competition can be fierce. Auction salesrooms are no place for lookie-loos. But it's not all celebrities and black-tie bidders chasing museum-caliber antiques. Value-hunters can find deals like vintage Hermès silk scarves for about $200 at Leslie Hindman auctions in Chicago.
- To complete the look, go for the classic Hermès tote--a Kelly bag in hot red sold for $4,148, half the retail price and no six-month waiting list.
- Keep in mind shipping costs when calculating your top bid (and stick to it).
For instance, a Victorian-style cognac-colored leather Chesterfield sofa hit the auction block at Butterfield/Bonham's in San Francisco last October. A leather lover carried it away for $854. Shipping and handling, however, may double your costs. Just factor shipping costs into your budget.
- The cash-and-carry crowd makes off with some of the best deals--a set of five neoclassical polished steel garden chairs for $366 at Butterfields.
- Also cash-and-carry: A Federal-style inlaid sideboard sold for $500 at Brunk Auction in Asheville, North Carolina. (Southerners prefer earlier editions and this figured mahogany beauty is 20th century.)
- If you live in Manhattan near Christie's auction house, you're sitting pretty. Some of the most fashionable and affordable furniture hits the auction block at Christie's interiors sales. While you read about the record-setting prices, more affordable bits and bobs are sold at Rockefeller Center. For instance, a stylish embroidered sofa by Billy Haines was estimated to sell for $1,000 to $1,500. Since an ordinary sofa goes for about the same, who wouldn't want to sip a martini sitting on this glam Sixties sofa designed by Hollywood's actor-turned-decorator?
Just remember that the hammer price doesn't include the buyer's premium, which varies (usually from 10 to 20 percent) depending on the auction house. Just one more reason to always read "terms of sale" both online and printed in auction catalogs.
- Strike strategically. Pay attention to what sells where. Look for modern design in the south where it's less popular. We found an Aero Saarinen large-oval (78-inch) pedestal table and four tulip chairs with original chocolate-colored cushions for an unbelievable $1,300 at Brunk Auctions in Asheville, North Carolina, last year. Even the reproductions go for triple that amount and that's just for the table.
- Visit estate auctions during unpopular times (for instance, a cloudy day at a flea market) and stay until the end. One of our favorite off-the-beaten track online sites is a Canadian auction house founded in 1850, Waddington's (Waddingtons.ca).
An aggregator of auctions around the country, auctionzip.com lets you track and sort sales by date, location and subject. That's how we discovered a collection of glittering gilt frames carved from wood at Dargate's in Pittsburgh (dargate.com), pictured on this slide and the next one.
- Both antique frames shown here were expected to go for less than $50 each. Just picture your child's drawing inside. Happy bidding.

Hello everyone, I was initially going to submit this as just a code snippet but I realised that it would be better if complemented by an explanation, so I made it into a short tutorial.
What's a "Zebra" table?
"Zebra" tables are tables where every other row has a different background colour, this helps a reader distinguish between adjacent rows and also makes it more stylish (in my opinion). A classic example of Zebra tables would be the iTunes interface.
Can't I do this all ready?
Well yes, but most implementations are less than ideal, typically relying on Javascript to add classes to every other table row which are then styled with CSS, or even worse coding it manually in HTML!
Below I have included an example of what I am talking about, here is its output. I've used some basic CSS styling to make it "pretty", the content of the table was actually generated with a small PHP script that I wrote but that's something else entirely, all that matters is that the table's content is tabular!
CSS 3.0 Comes to the Rescue!
As you can see, the above is clearly less than ideal, I have given the every <td> element inside every other table-row the even class which has a unique styling, but don't despair CSS 3.0 introduces the perfect pseudo-class for this.
By using the :nth-child pseudo-class I can style every other row in my table without having to change the HTML, making it much neater and more convenient to work with. If I use the style:
tr:nth-child(even) td { background-color: #F5E7F5; }
I can now achieve the same effect, I've included the code for the full example below, you can view the output here.
There's More
That's only touching the tip of the ice-berg of what can be done with this powerful new tool, it can be applied to many other HTML elements, e.g. unordered and ordered lists. You can specify numerical parameters for it as well, let's say I wanted to style every 2nd row, starting from the 5th, I could do that in a second like this:
tr:nth-child(2n+5) td { background-color: #F5E7F5; }
and that would instantly, dramatically modify the appearance of my table, regardless of how much data it contains.

Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey
195 Little Albany Street
New Brunswick, NJ 08903-2681
By Hetal Vig, MS, MGC, as published in the April edition of the New Jersey Department of Health's 'New Jersey Health Matters'
Many Americans have a family history of cancer. Therefore, they may want to know if they too will develop cancer and may choose to explore this through genetic testing and counseling. Not all cancers are "hereditary." Hereditary refers to a change (or mutation) in a gene that has been passed from parent to child resulting in an increased chance for certain types of cancer. This is why in families with hereditary cancer, typically there are multiple individuals with related cancers at young ages over many generations. The percentage of cancers that are hereditary varies, but for the more common types of cancer like breast and colon cancer, less than 10 percent of all cancers diagnosed are hereditary.
Although it may be difficult to hear that there may be a genetic mutation causing the cancer in the family, most individuals ultimately find this information very empowering.
If you have a cancer diagnosis, genetic testing will not tell you whether or not your cancer will come back or spread to another site. Instead, it will help you understand why you developed and your risk for a new cancer. Genetic testing will also inform management strategies for unaffected family members as well.
What is the first step? Consultation with a genetic counselor may be very beneficial if you have a family history of cancer that matches the description of "hereditary cancer" described above. At The Cancer Institute of New Jersey, there is a multidisciplinary team of board certified genetic counselors, medical oncologists who specialize in high-risk patients, surgical oncologists, and social workers to help patients understand their level of risk based on their family history and what they can do to detect cancer early or prevent it altogether.
Although it may be difficult to hear that there may be a genetic mutation causing the cancer in the family, most individuals ultimately find this information very empowering. Once equipped with this knowledge, individuals and their healthcare team can establish the best plan for prevention and early detection of cancer. Individuals with an inherited genetic change typically start cancer screening at earlier ages resulting in cancer prevention or early detection, such as colonoscopy every year if there is a high risk of colon cancer. Removing a polyp found at the time of a colonoscopy will reduce the risk of developing a colon cancer.
Determining if your family has an inherited genetic mutation may not only prevent you from developing cancer, but also your loved ones. After all, knowledge is power.
Hetal Vig, MS, MGC is a board certified genetic counselor at the LIFE Center in The Cancer Institute of New Jersey's Hereditary Oncology Prevention and Evaluation (HOPE) Program.

Protect Your eBay Transactions with Shipping Insurance
When you're shipping a large amount of eBay merchandise on a regular basis, you're going to have to deal with the issue of whether you buy insurance against damage or loss. You, as the seller, are responsible for getting the product to the buyer.
Self-insure your items
Some sellers on eBay self-insure their packages. In other words, they take the risk and use money out of their own pockets if they have to pay a claim. In this sense, self-insuring is considered seller's jargon, not an official legal status (only licensed insurance agents can offer insurance).
These sellers are usually careful about packing their items to prevent damage. They also use tracking numbers when using the Postal Service.
Insure through the major carriers
All the major shippers are in the shipping business, not in the insurance business. Insuring is an annoying — but necessary — sideline to their package-transit businesses.
Most carriers, other than the United States Postal Service, cover all shipments automatically for the first $100 of package value. By the way, the package value of an item sold on eBay is the final bid amount. Of course, you can always buy additional package insurance for your shipped items. Should a package get lost or damaged, making a claim opens an entirely new can of worms.
Note that FedEx and UPS clearly state that they offer "Declared Value Liability" instead of "insurance." Declared value indicates the carrier's liability for a shipment. Both carriers only cover up to $100, and you must pay fees for their additional liability coverage.
|Shipper Rate
|FedEx Declared Value
|$0.85 per $100 (after first $100 of value) $2.55 minimum
|UPS Declared Value
|$100.01 to $50,000.00 (after first $100.00 of value) plus $.90
per each $100.00 (or part of $100.00) up to $50,000.00 $1.80
|$1.95 for $0.01 – up to $50.00 value
|$2..45 for $50.01 – $100.00 value
|$3.05 for $100.01 – $200.00 value
|$5.10 for $200.01 – $300.00 value
|$5.10 for up to $300.00 value plus $1.15 for each additional
$100 of value over $300.00
Private, discounted shipping insurance
If you think that printing your own postage is slick, you're gonna love electronic insurance. eBay offers insurance through ShipCover when you purchase postage and print labels through eBay. Your insurance value may be declared in any amount from the selling price of the item to a maximum of $1,000.
When you purchase ShipCover insurance to cover your USPS parcels through eBay, you are also charged a surplus line tax and stamping fee.
As you know, USPS rates change from time to time, and those changes may not always show up immediately on the eBay site. Check for changes in postal rates.
|Insured value
|Price in Addition to Postage
|Surplus Line Tax*
|Stamping Fee*
|$0.01 to $100.00
|$100.01 to $200.00
|$200.01 to $300.00
|$300.01 to $400.00
|$400.01 to $500.00
|$500.01 to $600.00
|$600.01 to $1,000.00
|$9.90, plus $1.65 for every additional $100.00 over
An even less expensive alternative is the very popular Universal Parcel Insurance Coverage (U-PIC) service, which has provided discounted package insurance for over 22 years. U-PIC removes the post-office-insurance hassle because you can handle your insurance electronically. You can insure packages that you send through USPS, UPS, FedEx, and other major carriers. If you use U-PIC insurance on USPS-shipped packages, you can save up to 80 percent on insurance rates.
Here are some great features of the U-PIC service:
No time wasted standing in line at the post office: The U-PIC service is integrated into online postage solutions such as Endicia.
Quick payments on claims: If you have a claim, U-PIC pays it within 7 days of receiving all required documents from the carrier.
Blanket approval: U-PIC is approved by all major carriers. And turnabout is fair play: All carriers covered must be on the U-PIC approved carrier listing.
Savings: Again, depending on the quantity and type of items you ship, using U-PIC may save you up to 85 percent on your insurance costs.
FedEx charge $.85 per $100.00 of package value with a $2.55 minimum. And UPS charges $0.90 per $100 with a $1.80 minimum. By using U-PIC, you can insure your FedEx and UPS packages for $.25 to $.40 per $100.00 value with no minimum.
|$.01 to $50.00
|$50.01 to $100
|$.25 – $.40
|$100.01 to $200.00
|$.50 – $.80
|$200.01 to $300.00
You can visit the U-PIC website and poke around, but to get the best information, call U-PIC at the toll-free number. At the end of each shipping month, you fax, e-mail, or snail-mail your shipping reports to U-PIC.
Apply for your own U-PIC policy — with no charge to apply and no minimum premium.
To apply for the U-PIC service, you must fill out a Request to Provide (RTP) form. You must answer questions about who you are, how many packages you send, how many insurance claims you've filed in the past two years, and your average value per package. After you fill out the online form and agree to the policy (Evidence of Insurance), a U-PIC representative will contact you within 48 hours.
To place a claim with U-PIC on a USPS shipment, just go to the U-PIC website, click the Claims link, and then choose an option from the File a Claim Online menu. You must supply the following:
A signed letter, stating the loss or damage from the consignee
A completed U-PIC claim form (one claim form per claim)
A copy of the original invoice or the end-of-auction form
If you're a high-volume shipper, you can negotiate an even lower rate with U-PIC. To reach U-PIC, call toll-free at 800-955-4623.
