The furniture selection blends Conran's own designs (Content by Conran) with modern classics from large distributors like Kartell, Vitra, Herman Miller, and Magis. More eclectic designs from Moooi, Moroso and much smaller designers are thrown in, too. A portion of the designs are exclusive to the Conran Shop and in some cases, The Conran Shop is the only distributor in the United States. This is what makes this store so special — there is always something new and unique. Prices at Conran range as greatly as the kinds of things they sell. From the very expensive ($10   [more...]

Different womens trendy clothing by Good Orient | Trendy Women's Clothing Online, Boutique Shoes & Purses
unique gifts score: 50 from teamsugar -- Connect. Share. Enjoy.Increase the User Rating for this item! [100%] Decrease the User Rating for this item!
I was recently reviewing the new Spring 2009 trend reports on style.com and from all the fashion shows I liked the most the so called “marrakech express” trend. It includes all the exotic “Ali Baba” pants, sexy silk jumpsuits, djellabas and all kind of orient apparel. Pretty much everything giving the different look will be modern this season. So I tried to find an online store for trendy women's clothing that is going to offer us something fresh and unique. My choice for today's post is Good Orient - established in 1997 they are now the leading Asian Specialty E-store. They are the first one to bring traditional and modern Asian apparel, exotic home decor and unique gifts online. The design of their trendy clothes is inspired by Asian actors like Jackie Chan, Jet-Li and Zhang Ziyi. Because of the unique design and high-quality materials, Good Orient apparel is not very cheap and affordable, however for the purpose of this post I have chosen only items that cost less than $50.

What is rakhi
Rakhi is one of the most important festivals of India. It is celebrated all over India but the ways of celebrations vary from region to region. The Rakhi festival is popularly known as the 'Rakhi' or the 'Raksha-Bandhan'. 'Raksha' is the word for protection. 'Bandhan' is the bond. So it signifies the bond of protection. The protection is from the dark hands of the evils and against all perils. The protection that connotates - not just physical, but the spiritual one as well. It is also an important day for the agriculturist as they start sowing the grain seeds in their farms on this day.

How to celebrate Rakhi
In India, Rakhi is celebrated with lot of fun. Besides tying rakhis on the brother's right hand, gift exchanges, relishing tempting and mouth watering sweets, lots of other elements are also present. These acts make the Rakhi festival all the more interesting and one is always looking forward for this day to arrive.People wear new cloth's on that day and go to t   [more...]

Giannini Extends its Giannina Coffee Makers Family
unique gifts score: 45 from At Home with Kim ValleeIncrease the User Rating for this item! [0%] Decrease the User Rating for this item!

I used a French press to make my coffee every morning. The problem is how to keep the coffee warm without redoing new batch for my second cup of coffee.

The new insulated press-filter coffee makers by Giannina may provide the solution I was looking for. Feiz design studio went one step further to keep the heat inside by installing a directional knob to close and open the spout.

The insulated press-filter coffee makers are new additions to the Giannina series. In fact, Feiz design studio redesigned the classic 1968 Giannina stovetop espresso maker plus added new elements to the collection. Besides the insulated press-filter coffee makers available in two formats, the stainless steel milk and sugar set, the fine porcelain cups and saucers, and a unique style serving tray complete the family.

I have no words on where and when the new collection will be available in store. The products were presented at the MACEF in Milan and the Ambiente in Frankfurt. Keep your eyes open because th   [more...]

A NATION OF COWARDS

Jeffrey R. Snyder

OUR SOCIETY has reached a pinnacle of self-expression and respect for individuality rare or unmatched in history. Our entire popular culture -- from fashion magazines to the cinema -- positively screams the matchless worth of the individual, and glories in eccentricity, nonconformity, independent judgment, and self-determination. This enthusiasm is reflected in the prevalent notion that helping someone entails increasing that person's "self-esteem"; that if a person properly values himself, he will naturally be a happy, productive, and, in some inexplicable fashion, responsible member of society.

And yet, while people are encouraged to revel in their individuality and incalculable self-worth, the media and the law enforcement establishment continually advise us that, when confronted with the threat of lethal violence, we should not resist, but simply give the attacker what he wants. If the crime under consideration is rape, there is some notabl   [more...]
