| George Clooney: The Sexiest – and Tastiest – Man Alive
We've heard of wax figures, but what about jelly bean portraits? George Clooney is getting the sweet treatment thanks to Jelly Belly Gourmet Jelly Beans, which has created a likeness of the actor with 10,000 jelly beans. The tasty piece of art will be on display, too, at the company's gifting suite at the Luxe Hotel in Beverly Hills, just in time for Oscar week. Oh, and ladies, you can look but you still can't touch! – Brian Orloff .
Fine Living: Designing to indulge all five senses
That's the question interior designer Alexandra Ray asks her Marin clients and it's the same one she posed to her London clients before she relocated her design firm, Five Senses Interiors, here two years ago. Since then, she's paired up with a French-born fashion insider, Patricia Blanc, and expanded the business from interiors and fine arts consulting to hotel branding and custom gift boxes. "We're just two Europeans who clicked and we're excited to shake things up here so that people can have more fun," Ray says. "It's a lot more fun in London. Design is innovative and eclectic and people are really living with art, creatively; they're not afraid to put personality into their homes." Marin residents, she believes, "are very smart but very traditional and tend to follow a trend or pattern" when decorating." Instead, she thinks, clients are more satisfied when they identify their sensual needs and create a home that caters to them.

Boxer: Guilty of Mommyism!

Mystery of the canceled Mexicana ticket
Q: I had a major problem with a recent flight on Mexicana Airlines, and I'm not sure what to do. When I arrived at the airport in Chicago for my flight to Acapulco via Mexico City, I was told that my entire itinerary had been canceled. During the next few weeks, I would get three different explanations from the airline. First, that the fare was “too low" and that Mexicana canceled it after calling me to confirm. Second, that someone named “Victoria" canceled my reservation and requested a refund. And third, that I called to cancel the reservation myself. I can assure you that none of those things happened. .
Next Stop: The Vault
My problem is not simply that they did the drill, but the fact that they felt justified because they sent the e-mails out. Knowing half the students didn't sign up for the alerts, why would they continue to do it this way, and not by other means? How about ensuring that all the students received the messages? There's a way to check that also, but no one did. The nation is on edge right now because of recent events, so this is not the time to get cute and want to do drills like this unless they are SURE everyone is aware of it. This isn't like a surprise birthday party. Robert, Newport News -Re: Mock Campus KidnapOH MY GAH!!Isn't that criminal? It's like running into a theater and screaming FIRE!! Ron, Newport News -As a ECSU Junior, i fell that this drill was not very safe.
