The other day I was casually looking at some works in my favorite gallery in Tel Aviv and the owner came over to me and handed me what he called a "must read." He handed me, "The $12 Million Dollar Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art" as a gift. After the first page I was hooked. It was a thriller. It took me into the world where the business of art and the art of business are so intertwined they can't be separated. Quickly you understand that suc... more...

Especially with those that provide valued services, it is usually the case that human beings are in charge of these operations. Such is the case for emergency cleaning service.

Both series were catapulted from being read by loyal urban fantasy fans to worldwide exposure due to wide and small screen projects. The Twilight movie grossed $70.5 million dollars in North American box-office receipts during its... more...

This is the second book in the wildly popular Southern Vampire Mystery urban fantasy books written by Charlaine Harris. This book opens with our heroine, the lovable, plucky, Sookie Stackhouse, finding the dead body of a friend in the backseat of the local police detective\'s car. Because the detective in question was at home at the time of the murder, it\'s obvious that the body was killed at a different location and placed in the car. Sookie learns that her friend had recent... more...

Anyone who\'s ever gone on a tour of the old plantation homes in Louisiana understands why there is such an abundance of literary resources on the subject. A plethora of coffee table pictorials on the topic exist that feature pages and pages of glossy full-page portraits of the Old South\'s former glory, embodied in architecture. There are also resources on the history of the state\'s plantation houses, though there are noticeably less of these. These homes are deeply root... more...
