Love this!

Just really appreciated this set of posters advertising an art exhibit in Dakar.  Nice, storng graphic statement.  Love the blue-black-white print.  Nice going, Dakar!

Tempting

Another little fantasy - how about a home in Cyprus?  Check out the article and the slide show.  I can so feel the warm sun, the fresh breeze.  I can taste the olives and the glass of wine. I can imagine reading the book on the patio, the stroll about town.

At 450,000 euro, it's a dream, but a good one!

Not guilty

Happy to say, I'm not guilty of any of the cliches of good taste as reported in this NYTimes article and slide show.

No vintage typewriter ,monogrammed towels or taxidermy in my house!

Details, details...

File under Major Blindspots - this article describes a study that finds the IUD the most effective method of emergency contraception, with a failure rate of 1 in 1000.  Great, but for emergency contraception (post-facto-ooops birth control)  the morning after pill does just fine for my money with a low 1 to 3% failure rate. The article states, despite the IUD's efficacy and safety, it is rarely recommended by clinicians for emergency contraception.  The reasons cited - it is not covered by insurance and it is not readily available.  Frankly, I'd add invasive to the list of why it's not a great option as a back-up option.  You have to get an IUD inserted through the vagina into the uterus.  A great long-term contraceptive method, but not super-appealing morning after plan B.

Didn't we just go through this in Virginia?
