  <name>Robert F. Kennedy Center Auction 2009 CLOSES TODAY</name>
  <host_name>rfk</host_name>
  <short_description>The Robert F. Kennedy Memorial is dedicated to advancing the human rights movement through providing innovative support to courageous human rights defenders around the world. Through long-term partnerships and cutting edge methods, we assist advocates who have won the RFK Human Rights Award to boldly confront injustice in support of human freedom. </short_description>
  <description>&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spring Auction: April 29th to May 28th&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
Robert F. Kennedy boldly faced tough problems and challenged the comfortable and complacent. To keep his vision alive, his family and friends founded a living memorial in 1968.  The Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights is dedicated to advancing the human rights movement through providing innovative support to courageous human rights defenders around the world who have won the RFK Human Rights Award.

 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A few examples of our work over the past year include:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Working with local leaders in Darfur to develop a framework for a peace and reconciliation process which rehabilitates survivors of torture and sexual violence

&lt;li&gt;Empowering the survivors of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to return home through founding a national legislative campaign aimed at creating 100,000 job and training opportunities for residents to rebuild Gulf Coast communities and restore the environment.

&lt;li&gt;Working with a Chadian lawyer to found the first-ever public interest law firm in Chad, giving impoverished residents unprecedented access to justice and support in the fight for social, economic and environmental rights.

&lt;li&gt; Moving McDonald's towards reaching a historic human rights agreement with U.S. farm workers in their supply chains to improve wages and work towards ending modern day slavery in America's fields.
&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;
Additionally every year we honor leading investigative journalists and authors who bring light to injustice through the RFK Book and Journalism Awards.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Through the combined power of arts and education, the RFK Memorial's SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER program seeks to proactively engage the general public by bringing human rights activists and their work into contact with ever-increasing audiences. Over the past four years, SPEAK TRUTH has grown from a book by Kerry Kennedy exploring the courage in the words of leading human rights defenders to a moving and inspirational play by Ariel Dorfman, a photographic exhibition by Pulitzer Prize-winner Eddie Adams, a PBS documentary, an educational packet, and a series of public service announcements.      
&lt;/p&gt;

      <name>Visit the Set of &lt;i&gt;America's Most Wanted &lt;/i&gt; and Meet John Walsh</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: a set visit to &lt;i&gt;America's Most Wanted&lt;/i&gt; and meet and greet/photo opp with John Walsh plus lunch with the crew.  Valid for 2 people for one year, based on availability.  Winner will choose a location from a list.  Also includes &lt;i&gt;America's Most Wanted&lt;/i&gt; hat, t-shirt and bag.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Most people know John Walsh as the dedicated host of &quot;America's Most Wanted&quot; (amw.com), the man whose groundbreaking television program has helped take down nearly 1,000 dangerous fugitives in the past 20 years. But it's not the career that he envisioned for himself.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

July 27, 2006 will go down in history as the day that changed how America protects its children from sexual predators. At a ceremony in the Rose Garden, President George W. Bush signed a new, tough-as-nails law to track and apprehend convicted sex offenders who disappear after their release from prison. The date wasn't chosen randomly. It was exactly 25 years earlier that John Walsh and his wife Rev&#232; suffered the most horrendous loss that any parents could endure: the abduction and murder of their beautiful six-year-old son, Adam. Since that day in 1981, John has dedicated himself to fighting on behalf of children and all crime victims. As a result, thousands of victims have found justice, and dozens of abducted children have been safely brought home. The new law signed by President Bush is also a result of John's fight. It's called &quot;The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Most people know Walsh as the dedicated host of &quot;America's Most Wanted&quot; (amw.com), the man whose groundbreaking television program has helped take down nearly 1,000 dangerous fugitives in the past 20 years. But it's not the career that he envisioned for himself. Born in Auburn, New York and educated at the University of Buffalo, Walsh moved to Florida with his wife Rev&#232;, and was living the American Dream. He was a successful businessman, building high-end luxury hotels and building his life. But after Adam's murder, everything changed.

ABOUT SUZE ORMAN &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Suze Orman has been called &quot;a force in the world of personal finance&quot; and a &quot;one-woman financial advice powerhouse&quot; by USA Today. A two-time Emmy Award-winning television host, New York Times mega bestselling author, magazine and online columnist, writer/producer, and one of the top motivational speakers in the world today, Orman is undeniably America's most recognized expert on personal finance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Orman is the contributing editor to &quot;O&quot; The Oprah Magazine, the Costco Connection Magazine and for the last eight years host of the award winning Suze Orman Show, which airs every Saturday night on CNBC.  Over her television career Suze has accomplished that which no other television personality ever has before.  Not only is she the single most successful fundraiser in the history of Public Television, but she has also garnered an unprecedented six Gracie awards, more than anyone in the 34-year history of this prestigious award. The Gracies recognize the nation's best radio, television, and cable programming for, by, and about women.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
In May 2009 and 2008 Time's Magazine named Orman as one of the TIME 100, The World's Most Influential People. In April 2008 Orman was presented with the Amelia Earhart Award for her message of financial empowerment for women and Saturday Night Live spoofed Suze three times during 2008.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Orman who grew up on the South Side of Chicago earned a bachelor's degree in social work at the University of Illinois and at the age of 30 was still a waitress making $400 a month.

      <name>Meet Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski on the Set of &lt;i&gt;Morning Joe&lt;/i&gt;</name>
      <short_description>Greet the day meeting Joe Scarborough, whose scintillating take on the morning news will stimulate your views and start you thinking why you hadn't thought of that</short_description>
      <description>Includes: a visit to the set of&lt;i&gt; Morning Joe&lt;/i&gt; show during the show, a quick hello with Joe and Mika and photo opp on set at the end of the show PLUS a private NBC Studios tour with a &lt;i&gt;Morning Joe &lt;/i&gt;producer. Valid for 2 people, for one year, based on availability.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Former Florida Congressman Joe Scarborough, Mica Brzensinski and Willie Geist host the show that is a &quot;must see&quot; in the morning- the terrific morning news show that can't be missed. With a roundtable of topical guests such as Pat Buchanan who always call it the way it is, the show can start off your day in the right direction with the latest news and no nonsense commentary. Joe also provides on air political commentary for the network, as well as CNBC and NBC's Today Show.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Scarborough was first elected to the US Congress in 1994, becoming the first Republican elected in Florida's First District since 1872. He was re-elected three more times, in landslide victories. During his tenure, Scarborough served on the Armed Services Committee, the Judiciary Committee, Government Reform and Oversight and the Education Committee. In 1998, he was named Chairman of the Civil Service Committee and while on that committee, Scarborough drafted a bill on Long Term Care, which President Clinton called landmark legislation.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Scarborough championed a balanced budget, human rights, religious freedom, and environmental causes while in Congress. In 1996, he led the effort to relocate hundreds of minority families whose homes were located over a superfund site. US News and World Report called Scarborough's action groundbreaking.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Scarborough, along with Joe Kennedy, Joe Moakley, and Tim Roemer, introduced legislation to rename the Justice Department building after Robert. F. Kennedy to honor the late Kennedy Administration Attorney General. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

In 2004, Scarborough published the critically acclaimed Rome Wasn't Burnt in a Day, which gives an insider's view of what goes on behind closed doors in Washington, and how that contributes to reckless federal spending. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Enjoy a fascinating set visit and cup of coffee with the one and only Joe Scarborough and his crew Mica, Willie and flow of popular guests.</description>

      <name>Spend the Day with Editor-At-Large of &lt;i&gt;Vogue,&lt;/i&gt; Andre Leon Talley and Attend 4 Fashion Shows with him During Fashion Week PLUS Meet the Designers</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Spend a Day with Andre Leon Talley During Fashion Week. Meet up with him and go to 4 fashion shows on the first day of fashion week (a Monday) and have lunch or dinner with him AND go backstage with him and meet all of the designers.  Dates of Fashion Week have not been determined but this is valid for the first day ONLY.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Long known to readers of Vogue magazine's American edition, Andre Leon Talley is one of the fashion industry's most influential stylesetters. Famous among fashionistas for his flamboyant, often custom-made outfits that accentuate his six-feet, seven-inch frame, as well as by his booming baritone, Talley is undoubtedly the most prominent African American in the high-stakes world of designer fashion, a world which revolves around the semi-annual runway shows in New York, Paris, London, and Milan. The supremely confident Editor-At-Large at Vogue has never been hesitant to chastise designers for not using enough women of color on the runway, and has also championed a number of young African-American designers over the course of his long career. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Enjoy the likes of this fashion guru on day 1 of fashion week at the best fashion shows and chat about the high fashion over a meal as well.  This is the perfect opportunity for any fashionista!</description>

Mix media on Stencil Collage on 100% Cotton Rag Paper
44&quot; x 60&quot;
</short_description>
      <description>Includes: &lt;i&gt;Israel/Palestine&lt;/i&gt;, Mix media on Stencil Collage on 100% Cotton Rag Paper, Signed by Shepard Fairey.  In condition as donated, may not be returned or exchanged.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1970, Shepard Fairey is a contemporary artist, graphic designer and illustrator. Fairey graduated from Rhode Island School of Design in 1992 with a B.A. in illustration. He is most recognized as emerging from the skateboarding scene and became most notably known for his &quot;Andre the Giant Has a Posse&quot; sticker campaign and &quot;OBEY&quot; street art movement. Since 1989, Shepard has consistently produced a wide range of artwork from screenprints, mix media stencil collage, to 15 foot mural installations. In 2007, Shepard embarked on a pivotal year with producing 3 major solo exhibitions in New York City, London, and Los Angeles. All 3 exhibitions sold out with a showing of over a 100 pieces of art in each exhibition.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Recently, Fairey created a series of posters supporting Barack Obama's candidacy for President in 2008 which led a massive grassroots street awareness campaign. Fairey's &quot;PROGRESS&quot;, &quot;HOPE&quot;, and &quot;CHANGE&quot; posters created a huge impact in the visibility of the Obama Campaign, in which now President Obama, himself, personally thanked Fairey for making this art. Since then he created an exclusive design for Rock the Vote, and sits on the advisory board of Reaching to Embrace the Arts, a not-for-profit organization that provides art supplies to disadvantaged schools and students. Shepard Fairey currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

      <name>Fork, Knife and Swoon Over Lunch with Warren Beatty at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills</name>
      <short_description>Fork, Knife and Swoon Over Lunch with Warren Beatty at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills</short_description>
      <description>Includes: Lunch for 4 at The Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, CA with Warren Beatty.  Valid for up to 4 people, based on availability.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Lunch with Actor/Director/Writer/Producer/Political Activist, Warren Beatty at the world famous Polo Lounge at The Beverly Hills Hotel.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The Polo Lounge has been the favorite breakfast spot and watering hole for generations of stars and Hollywood deal-makers. A seasoned manager guides guests to indoor and outdoor seating for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night suppers. Lunch and dinner are served with piano accompaniment alternating with light jazz on the patio during the long summer nights. Jazz music is also featured during Sunday Brunch. In the evening guests can come to relax and enjoy one of their many specialty cocktails or one of our old favorites.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Warren Beatty has been a star since his first film, &quot;Splendor in the Grass,&quot; in 1961, Warren Beatty has demonstrated a greater longevity in movies than any actor of his generation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Few people have taken so many responsibilities for all phases of the production of films as producer, director, writer and actor, and few have evidenced so high a level of integrity in a body of work.  At least 15 of his films are often referred to as classics: &quot;Bonnie and Clyde,&quot; &quot;Shampoo,&quot; &quot;Reds,&quot; &quot;Heaven Can Wait,&quot; &quot;Dick Tracy,&quot; &quot;Bugsy,&quot; &quot;Bulworth,&quot; &quot;Splendor in the Grass,&quot; &quot;All Fall Down,&quot; &quot;McCabe and Mrs. Miller,&quot; &quot;The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone,&quot; &quot;Mickey One,&quot; &quot;The Only Game in Town,&quot; &quot;Lilith&quot; and &quot;The Parallax View.&quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
No stranger to awards season, Beatty has been nominated 15 times by the Academy as an actor, a director, writer and eight pictures he has produced have earned 53 nominations.  In 1981, he won the Academy Award for Directing and in 1999 was given the Academy's highest honor, the Irving G. Thalberg Award.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Politically active since the 1960's, he campaigned with Robert Kennedy in his 1968 presidential campaign.  That same year he traveled throughout the United States speaking in favor of gun control and against the war in Vietnam.  In 1972 he took a year off from motion pictures to campaign with George McGovern. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Meet this remarkable icon for an unbelievable experience!

      <name>Enter Bill O'Reilly's  No-Spin Zone when you attend a taping of The Factor and meet the non-nonsense Fox star</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: 4 VIP backstage passes to attend a taping of &lt;i&gt;The O'Reilly Factor&lt;/i&gt; at Fox News' studio in New York City.  While there, you'll have an in person meeting and photo opportunity with Bill O'Reilly and take home a goodie basket filled with Bill O'Reilly and &lt;i&gt;The O'Reilly Factor&lt;/i&gt; merchandise.  Based on availability.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For more than seven consecutive years, &lt;i&gt;The O'Reilly Factor&lt;/i&gt; on The FOX News Channel has been the highest rated of any cable news show. No program even comes close.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It is presided over by Bill O'Reilly, the man who smiles when he calls himself, &quot;Your humble correspondent.&quot; O'Reilly is probably the most controversial, most frequently discussed TV analyst today.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&quot;The Factor&quot;, as most people call it, remains an unequaled blend of news analysis and hard hitting investigative reporting dropped into what Bill reminds us nightly is &quot;The No Spin Zone.&quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Bill was certainly fresh, and already bold, when he started his broadcasting career in Scranton, Pennsylvania before moving on to report and anchor in other places such as Dallas, Boston and New York. His national exposure began with CBS and ABC News, and as host of the first version of Inside Edition. It was in 1996 that O'Reilly landed at FOX News. Along the way, as Bill gained his considerable following, he has also accumulated more than his share of journalism awards, including 3 Emmys, the latest being the special 2008 Governor's Award in his old Boston stomping ground. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Meet Bill O'Reilly on the Set and take home an assorted goodie bad of merchandise.

      <name>CLOSES EARLY:  There's Henry, the River , the Car and, Then, There's JENNIFER --Meet Jennifer Hudson on May 12, 2009 at Her Concert in Nashville, TN</name>
      <short_description>There's Henry, the River, the Car and, Then, There's JENNIFER --Meet Jennifer Hudson on May 12, 2009 at Her Concert in Nashville</short_description>
      <description>Includes: 2 tickets to see Jennifer Hudson perform on May 12, 2009 in Nashville, TN plus a meet and greet. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Every decade or so, a new voice emerges that is transcendent, timeless. In the '60s, Aretha was royalty; the '70s were under Chaka's control; Whitney owned the '80s and Mariah lead the '90s. For this new decade, it could be very well be all about Jennifer Hudson. With her high-powered soulful style, the 26-year old Chicago native had already achieved feats that are reserved for most young singers' dreams. The former American Idol contestant nabbed a much-deserved Academy Award for her unforgettable role as &quot;Effie&quot; in the 2006 movie adaptation of the Broadway musical &lt;i&gt;Dreamgirls &lt;/i&gt;along with Golden Globe, SAG, BAFTA and Broadcast Film Critic's Association Awards. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

An NAACP Image Award and Soul Train &quot;Entertainer of the Year&quot; Award winner, Jennifer's now ready to make the same kind of impact on the world of music she'd made on the silver screen with the much-anticipated release of her sizzling Arista Records debut album. &quot;I know people have high expectations because of Dreamgirls. I didn't have a particular concept in mind when I started working on the album. I wanted it to show flexibility and versatility. My voice has different characters and I looked at each song as having different stories, since I'm an actress too,&quot; says Jennifer, who starred in the 2008 summer box office hit Sex in the City. &quot;They're all different-sassy, vulnerable, loud and obnoxious, dramatic, romantic, spiritual-and they're all a part of me.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hear Jennifer Hudson perform songs off her hit albulm on May 12th in Nashville, TN and meet her backstage.

      <name>Signed Tennis Racquet from Ana Ivanovic</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: Signed Tennis Racquet from Ana Ivanovic.  In condition as donated, may not be returned or exchanged.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ana Ivanovic is a Serbian professional tennis player and former World No. 1 on the WTA Tour.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
In 2008, she became the first Serbian and third woman related to Yugoslavia ever to win a Grand Slam singles title (the others being Mima Jau&#353;ovec and Monica Seles) when she won the French Open, defeating Dinara Safina in the final. She has reached two other Grand Slam finals in her career: at the 2007 French Open and the 2008 Australian Open.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;Br&gt;
Ivanovic picked up a racket at the age of 5 after watching Monica Seles, a fellow Yugoslavian, at Roland Garros on television. She started her promising career at the age of 5, after memorizing the number of a local tennis clinic from an ad on TV. During her training she encountered the NATO bombings in 1999, where she would have to train in the morning to avoid them. Later on she admitted she would train in an abandoned swimming pool in the winter, as there were no other facilities.

      <name>Apron Strings You'll Want to Hang On To--Go Behind the Scenes of &lt;i&gt; The Rachael Ray Show&lt;/i&gt; and Take Home a Set of Rachael Ray Knives and Pots and Pans</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Watch Rachel Ray create one of her 30 Minute Meals on the set of the Food Network and you, too, can turn out a quick, eye-popping, mouth-watering dinner.  Plus, you will go home with a set of Rachel's magic knives and pots and pans so you can slice and dice like Rachel and never once scorch the creme brulee.  
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Grab a friend and make plans to attend a live taping of &quot;The Rachael Ray Show&quot; in New York City.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The hour-long show features a new programming format that allows audience members and special guests to participate and interact with Rachael. In fewer than five years, Rachael Ray has radically changed the way America cooks dinner. Her perky-girl-next-door swagger, her catch phrases for techniques and her dinner ideology of simpler, less expensive and just in time have sold billions of books and placed her at the top of the talent love heap at the Food Network.

      <name>Dinner with the Cos for a Cause</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: dinner for 4 people and Bill Cosby and guest at Bouley in NYC.  Also includes 4 bottles of wine from Mr. Cosby's private collection and 4 signed hard cover copies of &quot;Come On, People: On the Path from Victims to Victors&quot; written by Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussaint, M.D.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bill Cosby has been making America laugh for decades with his keen insight of us as human beings.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Over the past century, few entertainers have achieved the legendary status of William H. Cosby Jr. His successes span five decades and virtually all media, remarkable accomplishments for a kid who emerged from humble beginnings in a Philly project. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

In the 1960s, his stand-up act was a coast-to-coast sensation, spawning a string of hilarious, best-selling comedy albums, which went on to win eight Gold Records, five Platinum records and five Grammy Awards. His role on TV's I Spy made him the first African-American to co-star in a dramatic series, breaking television's racial barrier and winning three Emmy Awards. In the 1980s, he again rocked the television world with The Cosby Show, a gentle, whimsical and hugely successful series that single-handedly revived the family sitcom (and rescued NBC).&lt;br&gt;&lt;Br&gt;

With hit movies like Uptown Saturday Night and best-selling books like Fatherhood, Bill Cosby is quite simply a national treasure with the unique ability to touch people's hearts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Take this once in a lifetime opportunity to dine with this living legend and take home his private collection wine and signed copies of his book.</description>

      <name>Bill Cosby will have you and a friend holding your sides laughing through a delightful evening when he receives the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at Washington's Kennedy Center</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: 2 tickets to The Mark Twain Awards at The Kennedy Center on October 26, 2009, honoring Bill Cosby plus a meet and greet with Bill Cosby.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
His brilliant humor, wry commentary, and wise outlook will liven your spirits and give you something to crow about at the water cooler.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


The Kennedy Center will present the 12th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor to Bill Cosby on Monday, October 26, 2009 in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. The award, named to honor one of America's-and the world's--greatest humorists, will feature a lineup of the biggest names in comedy, and will be taped for television broadcast. Tickets for the event will go on sale to the general public August 12, 2009.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&quot;The Kennedy Center is delighted to honor Bill Cosby with The Mark Twain Prize,&quot; said Kennedy Center Chairman Stephen A. Schwarzman. &quot;Over the course of his extensive career as a stand-up comedian, writer, actor, and social activist, Bill Cosby has earned countless accolades for his groundbreaking brand of humor. He is truly one of America's most beloved comedians, a favorite of television audiences around the world.&quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&quot;After bathing us, dressing us in fresh pajamas, and setting us into the crib together, Annie Pearl Cosby read to my brother James and me The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and later, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,&quot; said Bill Cosby. &quot;I would like to apologize to Mr. Twain for falling asleep hundreds of times, but he should understand that I was only four. There are many Twain stories that have inspired me. Four works in particular, not necessarily in order of brilliance or genius, are most important: The Mysterious Stranger, The Story of Jim Blaine's Grandfather's Old Ram, How to Cure a Cold, and How to Tell a Story.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Dr. William Henry &quot;Bill&quot; Cosby, Jr. is an American comedian, actor, author, television producer and activist. He began his career performing in various comedy clubs, before landing a role in the 1960s action show &quot;I Spy.&quot; He later starred in his own series, &quot;The Bill Cosby Show,&quot; in 1969. He created the animated educational series &quot;Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids,&quot; about a group of young friends growing up in the city. During the 1980s, Cosby produced and starred in &quot;The Cosby Show,&quot; which was considered one of the decades's defining sitcoms, airing from 1984 to 1992, and is still seen in syndication. He also produced the hit sitcom &quot;A Different World,&quot; which became second to &quot;The Cosby Show&quot; in ratings. In the 1990s, Cosby starred in &quot;Cosby,&quot; which aired for four years, and during the show's last two seasons, hosted &quot;Kids Say the Darndest Things,&quot; and appeared in a number of movies. Throughout his career, he has released a number of popular comedy albums. Nine of Cosby's albums have been certified Gold and six have been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In addition to performing, Cosby is the author of many best-selling books, including Fatherhood and Time Flies. In 1972, Cosby earned a Masters Degree in Education, followed by a Doctorate in Education in 1978, from the University of Massachusetts. His contributions to American culture were recognized with a Kennedy Center Honor in 1998 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in July 2002, America's highest civilian honor.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
As recipient of The Mark Twain Prize, Bill Cosby will receive a copy of an 1884 bronze portrait bust of Mark Twain* sculpted by Karl Gerhardt (1853-1940). The bust and its images are courtesy of the Mark Twain House and Museum, Hartford, Connecticut. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The Mark Twain Prize recognizes people who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist and creator of characters, Samuel Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective of social injustice and personal folly. He revealed the great truth of humor when he said &quot;against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.&quot;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor is created by the Kennedy Center and executive producers Mark Krantz, Bob Kaminsky, Peter Kaminsky and Cappy McGarr. </description>

      <name>Al Saves the Earth: Tipper Immortalizes It--Take Home a Personalized and Framed Print from Tipper Gore </name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: &quot;Rwandan Landscape&quot;.  This 13&quot;x 9&quot; photograph was taken from a visit to in August, 1994, at a refugee camp in Kibumba, Zaire, just across the border from Rwanda.  It is a matted and framed print from Tipper Gore's personal photo library with a one-of-a-kind inscription  personalized to the winner.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tipper Gore is the wife of Vice President Al Gore. She is a well-known advocate for families, women and children and is actively involved in issues related to mental health, education and homelessness.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
As Mental Health Policy Advisor to the President, Mrs. Gore is committed to eradicating the stigma associated with mental illness and educating Americans about the need for quality, affordable mental health care. In June of 1999, Mrs. Gore chaired the first ever White House Conference on Mental Health that addressed stigma, discrimination and parity in mental health care. In 1990, Mrs. Gore founded Tennessee Voices for Children, a coalition to promote the development of services for children and youth with behavioral, emotional, substance abuse, or other mental health problems. She also served as co-chair of the Child Mental Health Interest Group, a non-partisan group of Congressional and Administration spouses.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
As Special Advisor to the Interagency Council on the Homeless, Mrs. Gore works continuously to raise public awareness of homeless issues and to improve the effective delivery of federal homeless assistance resources and program coordination at the state and local level. She has experienced great success with her efforts as co-founder and chair of Families for the Homeless, a non-partisan partnership of families. Most recently, she partnered with the National Alliance for the Homeless to co-author The Way Home: Ending Homelessness in America, a collection of photography by Mrs. Gore and other prominent photographers focusing on solutions to end the problem of homelessness.
In 1996, Mrs. Gore published, Picture This, A Visual Diary, which is a personal photographic representation of life as wife of the Vice President. Proceeds from this book were donated to the National Health Care for the Homeless Council in Nashville, TN.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Since 1996, Mrs. Gore has served as Co-Chair of &quot;America Goes Back to School,&quot; an initiative launched by the Department of Education to work with parents, teachers and students to help promote a better learning environment among our nation's children.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
In 1978 and 1979, as Chair of the Congressional Wives Task Force, Mrs. Gore helped draw attention to the issue of violence in the media and its affect upon children. She subsequently co-founded the Parents' Music Resource Center in 1985 to promote parental and consumer awareness of the various themes in popular entertainment that are marketed toward children. Her first book, Raising PG Kids in an X-Rated Society is a guide to parenting and the media.

      <name>Relax for 2 Nights in the Luxurious Little Palm Island Resort and Spa in Little Torch Key, Florida</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: a two night midweek stay in a one-bedroom bungalow suite with valet parking, motor yacht transfers to/from the Island, accommodations and water sport amenities.  Valid June 1-December 15, 2009 and restrictions and black out periods may apply.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


The Perfect Island Paradise&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
You wake up to a blissful quiet, broken only by a heron's call and the gentle lap of waves. You snuggle closer. A cloud of soft linen envelops you in a comfortable cocoon. You dream of your trip here last night on The Truman, the 35 foot launch named after one of the island's most famous guests, and glide again through sultry waters to arrive at this remote island full of Jamaican palms and exotic blossoms. And you wonder if you can ever leave. Welcome to Little Palm Island Resort &amp; Spa, the internationally acclaimed private island paradise, listed among the top resorts in the world by Conde Nast Traveler and Travel+Leisure magazine.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Tucked offshore of Little Torch Key and accessible only by boat or seaplane, the resort is a world unto itself, alive with hidden pleasures. Crushed seashell paths wind through lush gardens to thatched-roof bungalows, which serve as your guest quarters. Extra spacious, each suite and grand suite has romantic touches such as a king-size bed draped in butterfly netting, verandahs with ocean views and, in some rooms, private outdoor showers and jetted tubs.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
From the lagoon-style pool to the meditative Zen Garden or the cozy Great Room library, a perfect serenity sweeps over you as you wander the island. Oversized hammocks beckon from the trees. Lounge chairs nestled in the sand call from the beach. And at the end of the day, return to your private bungalow for peaceful seclusion to dream again.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
We welcome children 16 years of age and older. We regret that pets are not permitted on the island

Over the last thirty years SNL has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers such as Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Jim Belushi, Adam Sandler, Tina Fey and many more.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Saturday Night Live&lt;/i&gt; is still as laugh-out-loud funny as when the innovative comedy show first premiered in 1975. After appearing live on Saturday nights at 11:30, SNL launched many of its unknown comedic talents into superstardom. Some of today's top box office drawers first honed their abilities in New York City's Rockefeller Center's Studio 8H. A wide variety of hosts, and musical guests week after week, has allowed SNL to create, influence, and poke fun at contemporary culture. With Lorne Michaels at the helm of this original show, Saturday night and television have never been the same.

      <name>Climb the Historic Steeple at The Old North Church Plus Lunch at The North End's Renowned Pagliuca's Restaurant in Boston</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: opportunity for 4 people to climb the famous steeple at North Church plus lunch for 4 (alcohol not included) at the north end's renowned Pagliuca's Restautant.  Based on a mutually convenient time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;One if by Land, Two if By Sea...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The enduring fame of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oldnorth.com &quot;target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Old North &lt;/a&gt; began on the evening of April 18, 1775, when the church sexton, Robert Newman, climbed the steeple and held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were marching to Lexington and Concord by sea and not by land. This fateful event ignited the American Revolution. 

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The Old North Church is officially known as Christ Church in the City of Boston. It was built in 1723, and is the oldest standing church building in Boston. In 1775, on the eve of Revolution, the majority of the congregation were loyal to the British King and many held official positions in the royal government, including the Royal Governor of Massachusetts, making Robert Newman's loyalty to the Patriot cause even more extraordinary. The King gave the Old North its silver that was used at services and a bible.

Born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1970, Shepard Fairey is a contemporary artist, graphic designer and illustrator.

      <name>See The Jonas Brothers Live in Concert on July 13, 2009 at The Verizon Center in Washington D.C.</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: 2 tickets to see The Jonas Brothers live in concert on July 13, 2009 ONLY.  Section 102, row P, seats q and 2.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;New Jersey siblings Joseph, Kevin, and Nicholas Jonas began singing pop anthems in the likes of the Ramones, Hanson, and the Modern Lovers. The group formed initially around the soulful voice of Nicholas, who had wowed enough executives at Daylight/Columbia Records to warrant a solo album, but when the brothers began writing and performing new songs together, it became apparent to both band and label that something special was happening. Their full-length debut, &quot;It's About Time&quot;, was released in August 2006, followed by the chart-topping, &quot;Jonas Brothers&quot; in 2007, and in 2008, the group was nominated for the Best New Artist award for the 51st Grammy Awards and won the award for Breakthrough Artist at the American Music Awards with the release of &quot;A Little Bit Longer&quot;. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
On March 11, 2009, the Jonas Brothers announced that their fourth studio album, tentatively titled &quot;Lines, Vines and Trying Times&quot; will be released on June 15, 2009 and will be embarking on a world tour in mid-2009. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Don't miss your chance to see the brothers live! </description>

      <name>Think Sun, Ocean, Some Guacamole and a Big Sombrero. One Week at La Punta Sayulita on the Mexican Riviera </name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Image above is of the Punta Sayulita Beach House.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Vacation with family and friends in this 5 star 8 bedroom hacienda.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Stay a week in this authentic beach town, located 40 minutes north from Puerto Vallarta, in a fabulous 7-bedroom ocean view villa offered by the Punta Sayulita Development.  Conveniently located a couple blocks from the beach, shops and restaurants, the villa comes beautifully furnished, is ideal for entertaining and offers enough space to comfortably accommodate up to three families.

&lt;b&gt;SAYULITA MAGIC&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;b&gt;JOURNEY TO SAYULITA: SUN AND SURF VACATION ON MEXICO'S RIVIERA NAYARIT&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

Surfers discovered the colorful little village of Sayulita first thanks to the glassy swells, warm water and two classic reef breaks within the long sandy bay located along an undisturbed tropical stretch of coast 40-minutes north of Puerto Vallarta.  Now, Sayulita is regarded as one of Mexico's best beach towns for its surfing and surf schools, authentic cobblestone lanes, charming cafes and restaurants, chic boutiques and friendly locals.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The trip includes six nights of accommodations at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.puntasayulita.com &quot;target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Punta Sayulita &lt;/a&gt; development's luxurious &quot;in town&quot; 7-bedroom ocean view villa, &quot;Villa Mi Otra Casa&quot;, large enough to comfortably accommodate up to three families. You will be perfectly situated to enjoy all Sayulita has to offer by being both close to the town square, restaurants, shopping as well as a very easy two block walk to the beach. This Villa comes beautifully furnished with 5 large suites, 2 bedrooms, expansive indoor/outdoor living area with adjacent kitchen, living room and dining room areas conveniently designed for group entertaining. The Villa's infinity pool with in-pool bar stools is a perfect place to relax with an icy cerveza or margarita. The Villa's top floor roof deck and entertaining area is sheltered by an expansive Palapa roof and offers unobstructed ocean views over the Sayulita village and of the lush coastline.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

While at the beach, guests will also have access to Punta Sayulita's various beach toys including surf boards, stand-up-paddle boards, ocean kayaks and boogie boards located at the Punta Sayulita development's private Beach House. Moreover, on one of the days, surf lessons for the group will be conducted by Punta Sayulita's beach staff.  For the non-surfers, a morning Yoga class and a guided hike will be arranged to experience the beauty of the surrounding jungle.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
After working-up an appetite playing at the beach or exploring the miles of trails through the surrounding jungle, on one of the nights a private Mexican dinner offering fresh local cuisine will be prepared for the group at the Punta Sayulita Beach House.  For those interested in learning how to make the best fresh fish or scallop ceviche, guacamole or handcrafted margaritas with fresh lime juice, Punta Sayulita's resident chef will be on hand to share the local knowledge and recipes to bring back home. &lt;br&gt;&lt;Br&gt;

During your stay in Sayulita, Punta Sayulita's hosts will be available to offer personalized concierge services to assist in coordinating other events and activities in Sayulita or in the nearby villages of San Francisco (San Pancho) or in the Puerto Vallarta area.

      <name>Spend a Day at the Mark Slicker Salon in West Hollywood, CA</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: a &quot;hair makeover&quot;--color, highlights and a cut plus champagne, fruit and cheese.  Based on availability.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


From the first moment that you meet Mark Slicker, the owner/proprietor and head stylist of his new namesake Westwood salon, his southern-charm will hook you, but its his talent, impressive resume and swanky new digs that will keep the clients coming back. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Having spent the last five years working the busiest chair at the famed Sally Hershberger at John Frida Salon on Melrose Place in Los Angeles, where he gathered a long list of satisfied celebrity clients ranging from &lt;b&gt;Felicity Huffman to Diane Keaton to Lindsey Lohan, Penelope Cruz, Christina Applegate, Mary-Kate Olsen and Mariah Carey, &lt;/b&gt;Slicker decided the timing was right to bring his vision for a new type of salon to Los Angeles; he choose Westwood Village to bring his vision to life. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&quot;I wanted a pedestrian friendly area that had the pulse of the urban city. Westwood was the perfect location,&quot; explains Slicker. &quot;There are countless salons in Hollywood or Beverly Hills, but I'm right in the middle of it all here&#8212;my clients from the Eastside, Westside or even the beaches and Valley can all be here in the same time. When they walk into our doors, they are going to love the buzz of the streets and the high-rise buildings that will then be contrasted by the look, feel and experience of the salon.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The multi-level space will be a true urban retreat. The salon is part New York loft, part Dorothy Draper, mixed with an eclectic array of antiques and modern accessories. Filled with illuminated light from the glass front entrance, guests will be greeted by a high-ceiling entryway that looks down upon the bustling main floor of the salon. Once inside, the design palate features rich chocolate brown colors mixed with distinctive artwork. All salon accessories are being handcrafted in Europe and no detail is going untouched. &quot;I want my clients to get the sense that they have escaped their reality when they step into my salon,&quot; notes Slicker. &quot;We're going to have a kitchen, wifi for web-surfing and other surprises you won&#8217;t find anywhere else. Service and hospitality will be paramount. When you make an appointment here, we make a commitment.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 

As a leading stylist, Slicker has overseen spreads for major publications including Vanity Fair, In-Style and The Hamptons, as well as served as the stylist/colorist for such big brands campaigns as Prada. Not a native Angeleno, the Oklahoma native and Dallas resident began his career working with the best in the business; Roger Thompson&#8212;creative director for Vidal Sassoon in the 1970's. Mark then went on to earn the title of Creative Color Director from his mentor at his Dallas salon. Prior to heading out west, Slicker had his own Dallas salon known as Three-Thirty; therefore, owning and running a professional and successful salon is nothing new to the rising star. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Mark's styling techniques are influenced by geometric shapes. He takes a natural approach and practices visual-cutting; he is technical, yet performs free-hand. His passion comes from the spontaneity and artistic expression that comes with being a stylist.

      <name>You'll definitely want To Be at the Washington Opera dress rehearsal of Hamlet and hear Placido Domingo's sublime voice-on stage and when you talk to him after the show</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: 2 tickets to Placido Domingo's dress rehearsal of &quot;Hamlet&quot; at the Washington National Opera on May 17, 2010 plus a meet and greet following the rehearsal.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Attend a dress rehearsal of the May 2010 company premiere of Ambroise Thomas&#8217; &lt;i&gt;HAMLET&lt;/i&gt; conducted by Placido Domingo.  After the rehearsal, you will have the opportunity to meet Maestro Domingo backstage. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Placido Domingo&#8217;s accomplishments stagger the imagination. Acclaimed on the cover of Newsweek as &quot;The King of Opera,&quot; he is a star of every important opera house in the world. So far he has sung 123 different roles, more than any other tenor in history. He has made well over 100 recordings, of which 93 are full-length operas (often recording the same work twice or three times) and for which he has won nine Grammy Awards plus two in the newly created Latin division. He has made three movies, Otello, La traviata, and Carmen, and more than 50 of his roles have been preserved on video. More people have seen him perform than any tenor in history; for instance, when he sang Tosca from the authentic settings in Rome in 1992, the production was broadcast in 119 countries to an estimated audience of 1.5 billion. As a conductor, he has led opera companies in the world's greatest theatres, from Covent Garden to the Met to Los Angeles Opera. He has also conducted purely symphonic concerts and has made recordings as conductor.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
In 1993 Maestro Domingo inaugurated Operalia, a yearly worldwide singing competition for young singers, and was a 2000 Kennedy Center Honoree. In 2002, Maestro Domingo was presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom, was granted the title of Honorary Knight of the British Empire, and received an honorary doctorate from Oxford University for his substantial contributions to music and the arts. As an administrator, Mr. Domingo was Music Director of the Seville World's Fair and was also one of the founders of Los Angeles Opera. In 2000, he became Artistic Director of Los Angeles Opera in addition to his position in Washington. He has raised millions of dollars through benefit concerts for the 1985 Mexican earthquake victims and is one of the most decorated entertainers before the public today. He is, in the words of Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper, &quot;A true renaissance man in music.&quot;

CSI is a fast-paced drama about a team of forensic investigators trained to solve crimes by examining the evidence. They are on the case 24/7, scouring the scene, collecting the irrefutable evidence and finding the missing pieces that will solve the mystery. Gil Grissom, shift supervisor, heads the team of investigators at the Crime Lab in Las Vegas.

The CSI team members also work closely with Capt. Jim Brass, the former chief, now assigned to Homicide, Dr. Albert Robbins, the ever-professional medical examiner and David Hodges, a lab technician with a specialty in trace and foreign-substance analysis.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <name>Come My Friends and Get the Straight Talk From This Heroic Maverick, Senator John McCain</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: meet and greet with Senator John McCain in Washington D.C.  Valid for two people, based on availability.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Senator John McCain has a remarkable record of leadership and experience that embodies his unwavering lifetime commitment to service. First elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona in 1982, John has led the fight for reforming Washington, eliminating wasteful government spending, and strengthening our nation's armed forces. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Senator McCain's reform agenda to reduce federal spending and lower taxes quickly elevated him to statewide office and he was elected to the United States Senate in 1986, after serving two terms in the U.S. House. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

In the Senate, he continued to demand that Congress put an end to loopholes for special interests and fix the broken system in Washington that too often allows lobbyists to write legislation and members of Congress to waste taxpayer money. In November 2004, Senator McCain was overwhelmingly reelected with nearly 77 percent of the vote. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

As the son and grandson of distinguished Navy admirals, John McCain deeply values duty, honor and service of country. John attended college at the United States Naval Academy, and launched a 22-year career as a naval aviator upon his graduation. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
On July 29, 1967, John narrowly survived the first of many near-death experiences during his lifetime while preparing to take off on a bombing mission over North Vietnam from his ship, the USS Forrestal. A missile accidentally fired from a nearby plane struck the fuel tanks on his plane. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Instead of taking the option to return home after the Forrestal disaster, Senator McCain volunteered for more combat duty - a fateful decision that stopped the clock on his life and separated him from his family, and country, for five and a half years. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

During his 23rd bombing mission on October 26, 1967, a missile struck his plane and forced him to eject, knocking him unconscious and breaking both his arms and his leg. John was then taken as a prisoner of war into the now infamous &quot;Hanoi Hilton,&quot; where he was denied necessary medical treatment and often beaten by the North Vietnamese. He spent much of his time as a prisoner of war in solitary confinement, aided by his faith and the friendships of his fellow POWs. When he was finally released and able to return home years later, Senator McCain continued his service by regaining his naval flight status. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Senator McCain's last Navy duty assignment was to serve as the naval liaison to the United States Senate. He retired from the Navy in 1981. His naval honors include the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, and the Distinguished Flying Cross.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Senator McCain currently serves on the following Senate Committees during the 111th Congress: Ranking Member on the Senate Armed Services Committee; Committee on Energy and Natural Resources; Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions; Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and Committee on Indian Affairs. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Senator McCain has seven children and four grandchildren, and currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife Cindy.

      <name>Enjoy Magic Session From from Magician and Endurance Artist, David Blaine</name>
      <short_description>30-Minute Lesson in Magic from Magician and Endurance Artist, David Blaine</short_description>
      <description>Includes: a 30-minute magic session from David Blane.  Session will take place in his NYC office in Tribeca.  Valid for 6 people, based on availability.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;David Blaine, a young and talented magician and endurance artist, is rapidly changing the face of magic. Known as the &quot;magician of the millennium,&quot; Blaine broke through cult status by levitating on the streets of New York in his first ABC special &quot;David Blaine: Street Magic.&quot;  &quot;Street Magic&quot; introduced the world to Blaine's talent, ability and charm. Blaine's act includes levitation, illusion and bringing apparently dead flies back to life.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Blaine later turned his attention to feats of endurance, including being buried alive for seven days and spending 61 hours encased in ice. In 2002, Blaine stood on a tiny platform at the top of a 100 foot high pole in Bryant Park for 35 hours. In 2003, Blaine lived in a transparent Plexiglas box for 44 days, without food.  The show-business press often describe Blaine as a modern day Harry Houdini and indeed Blaine himself has cited Houdini as one of his inspirations.

      <name>Private Yoga Class with Yoga Shanti in Sag Harbor</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: 1 private yoga lesson in Sag Harbor.  Based on availability.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Directed by Colleen Saidman, Yoga Shanti is a full-time, year-round, East End Yoga studio in the Hamptons offering opportunities for every kind of student, and a multitude of different yoga classes. We are located at 23 Washington Street off of Main Street, in the heart of Sag Harbor. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Yoga Shanti is long established as the place to practice yoga in the Hamptons, and has been featured in The New York Post, Dan's Hampton Style, The New York Times and New York Magazine. A recent review called Yoga Shanti, &quot;The Hamptons yoga studio. You will never waste your time at Yoga Shanti. No matter if the class is Hatha or Astanga, beginner or open, the teachers are always amazing.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Students come to yoga classes at Shanti on a very regular basis from all reaches of the East End of Long Island--including Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Montauk and Southampton--as if it were a home away from home. Shanti is truly a place where one can go and feel a real sense of community. Nurtured by the quality of the teachers as well as by the space itself, painted in lush shades of red and orange, our yoga studio's atmosphere is as warm and welcoming as our teachers. Yoga students of all levels find a place to practice yoga here.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The principal objective in founding Yoga Shanti was to emphasize the spiritual aspects of yoga in addition to the more obvious physical benefits. Aside from asanas (physical postures), classes may include chanting, meditation, and philosophy instruction, drawing from ancient Yogic and Buddhist scriptures such as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, The Bhagavad Gita, The Dhammapada, and more. Yoga Shanti&#8217;s aim is to help individuals increase their awareness of who they are, influencing how they relate to the world.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Our yoga teachers are experienced and compassionate, bringing years of knowledge and training from such varied traditions as Jivamukti, Iyengar, Kripalu, Sivananda, Astanga, Integral and Anusara.

      <name>VIP Tickets to The Next Broadway Smash, SPIDER-MAN, TURN OFF THE DARK</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: 2 tickets Spider-Man on Broadway which premiers in NYC early 2010.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Spider-Man on Broadway will no doubt be the next smash hit--enjoy VIP tickets to this fabulous show Directed by Julie Taymor (who also directed The Lion King) and Music by Bono and The Edge.&lt;br&gt;&lt;Br&gt;Get ready to experience the exploits of your friendly neighborhood Spider Man in an entirely new, exciting way when SPIDER-MAN, TURN OFF THE DARK opens on Broadway!  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Tony Award-winning director Julie Taymor, who created the smash Broadway production of Disney's THE LION KING, is at the helm of the new musical, which features a score by Bono and The Edge of U2, one of the most popular bands of all time. The show is being written by Taymor along with playwright Glen Berger (UNDERNEATH THE LINTEL, THE WOODEN BREEKS). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Drawing from over 40 years of Marvel comic books for inspiration, SPIDER-MAN, TURN OFF THE DARK spins a new take on the mythic tale of a young man propelled from a modest rowhouse in Queens to the sky-scraping spire of the Chrysler Building, the bustling offices of The Daily Bugle, through the dizzying canyons of Manhattan, to new vistas never before seen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The musical follows the story of teenager Peter Parker, whose unremarkable life is turned upside--down--literally--when he is bitten by a genetically altered spider and wakes up the next morning clinging to his bedroom ceiling. This bullied science--geek--suddenly endowed with astonishing powers--soon learns, however, that with great power comes great responsibility as villains test not only his physical strength but also his strength of character. Spider-Man's battles will hurtle the audience through an original story both recognizable and unexpected--yielding new characters as well as familiar faces--until a final surprising confrontation casts a startling new light on this hero's journey.

      <short_description>Lunch with Danny Glover on the Set of an Upcoming Movie</short_description>
      <description>Includes: Lunch with Danny Glover on the set of an upcoming film.  Valid for 4 people, based on availability.  Filming will most likely be in LA but not guarenteed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Danny Glover starred alongside Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx Eddie Murphy, and Anika Nori Rose in the screen adaptation of the Broadway hit &lt;i&gt;Dream Girls&lt;/i&gt;. The film was a phenomenal success, telling the semi-biographical story of the rise and evolution of a Supremes-esque girl group in Motown. The film won 2 Oscars and was nominated for 46 total awards.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Almost a decade before Dream Girls, Danny Glover starred in the fourth installment of the popular action/drama series, &lt;i&gt;Lethal Weapon&lt;/i&gt;. According to fans, &lt;i&gt;Lethal Weapon 4&lt;/i&gt; is arguably the most favored of the movie chain. Danny joined Mel Gibson, Martin Rigg and Roger Murtaugh in Richard Donner's film where our favorite team of Los Angeles Detectives brings the perfect combination of action and comedy. In fact, &lt;i&gt;Lethal Weapon 4 &lt;/i&gt;has been credited as the movie that defined action comedies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Enjoy lunch on the set with the legendary, Danny Glover.

      <name>You CAN Have Your Cake and Eat it Too--$500 Gift Certificate frm Sylvia Weinstock Cakes</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: $500 gift certificate towards a specialty cake from Sylvia Weinstock Cakes.  Restrictions apply. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sylviaweinstock.com/index_fl4.html &quot;target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Sylvia Weinstock Cakes &lt;/a&gt; are custom designed and created according to the specifications of her clients. Not only do the cakes look beautiful, they taste delicious, because only the best available ingredients are used. Below are various options that you may select for your cake, and you may choose any combination as well. Please note that this list is not all-inclusive. Any type of cake can be made by request.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The projected number of sugar flowers required for decoration determines the price structure for Ms. Weinstock's cakes. The number of portions to be served determines the size of the cake, which dictates the area requiring decoration. The flowers require skilled, labor-intensive craftwork and are the most costly component. Current pricing for the cakes starts at $10 (U.S.) per portion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;b&gt;ORDERING A CAKE&lt;/b&gt;
Cakes must be ordered in advance. By appointment, clients can view photographs of cakes to determine the style they prefer. The company produces about 20 cakes per week, depending upon the size of the ordered cakes. Once that limit has been booked, no additional orders are accepted for that week. A 50% deposit confirms an order, with the balance due five days prior to the delivery date. Spring and fall are the busiest times of the year, while mid-winter and mid-summer are slowest. 
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;b&gt;CAKE DELIVERY&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

Cakes have been successfully shipped by air from New York to the rest of the United States, plus London, Milan, Paris, and Madrid. The total cost is $100 for delivery to the airport, plus the amount charged by the airline. Air shipment requires a nonstop flight from the New York area to the delivery destination.

      <name>See the Jonas Brothers on June 12, 2009 During the GMA Concert Series</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: 4 tickets to see The Jonas Brothers on Friday, June 12th in NYC as part of the Good Morning America Concert Series.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;New Jersey siblings Joseph, Kevin, and Nicholas Jonas began singing pop anthems in the likes of the Ramones, Hanson, and the Modern Lovers. The group formed initially around the soulful voice of Nicholas, who had wowed enough executives at Daylight/Columbia Records to warrant a solo album, but when the brothers began writing and performing new songs together, it became apparent to both band and label that something special was happening. Their full-length debut, &quot;It's About Time&quot;, was released in August 2006, followed by the chart-topping, &quot;Jonas Brothers&quot; in 2007, and in 2008, the group was nominated for the Best New Artist award for the 51st Grammy Awards and won the award for Breakthrough Artist at the American Music Awards with the release of &quot;A Little Bit Longer&quot;. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
On March 11, 2009, the Jonas Brothers announced that their fourth studio album, tentatively titled &quot;Lines, Vines and Trying Times&quot; will be released on June 15, 2009 and will be embarking on a world tour in mid-2009. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Don't miss your chance to see the brothers live!

      <name>If you Blink...You Might Miss Them!  Hit the Slopes with Olympians Franz Weber and Franz Klammer</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: 1/2 day skiing with Olympian &amp; 6x World Speed Skiing Champion Current North American Speed Skiing Record Holder, Franz Weber and 8x World Cup Winner, Franz Klammer.  Valid for 2-6 people from Mar 17-21, 2010 at American Ski Classic at Vail.  If those dates do not work, winner can choose from several other events booked throughout the winter however, we won't know the dates or locations until November.  Also includes lunch with Franz Weber and Franz Klammer and career highlight videos and signed memorabilia--it will undoubtedly be a memorable adventure for any skiier.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;An Olympian, six-time consecutive World Speed Skiing Champion and former world record-holder, Franz Weber still holds the North American record which he set in 1983 in Silverton, Colorado.  He dominated the sport of speed skiing from 1980 to 1985, winning over eighty percent of the races he entered. He retired as World Champion in 1985, but returned to the sport of speed skiing seven years later to compete in the 1992 Winter Olympics at Albertville, France where he clocked his fastest personal time of 138.112 mph/222.222 kph (average speed).  Feeling he had achieved his speed skiing goals, Franz permanently retired from the sport following the 1992 Olympics.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Franz Weber remains very active in numerous alpine skiing events, competing on the popular Legends/Champions Tour. He is a two-time overall winner of the Tournament of Champions and four-time Rolex Legends Series Champion.  In 1996, Franz was one of four skiers who broke a world record by skiing sixteen Colorado ski resorts in one day.  In 1997, he won the Legends Downhill Championship in Vail, Colorado and placed first overall in the Masters Division of the MCI World Downhill Championships.  In 1998, he won the National SG Masters Championships, and his Masters' record includes winning all but two of the more than fifty races he entered.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Franz Klammer, in one of the most daring displays of human willpower and strength, performing under inhuman pressure, won the Olympic downhill in 1976 by .33 of a second.  Klammer is celebrated for his bold and seemingly out-of-control skiing style, but never had he run a race bordering so consistently on the edge of disaster. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

More than two decades have passed since Franz Klammer's famous Olympic downhill run, but the image is still vividly remembered.  In 1987 Franz was honored by ABC with a special award for creating such dynamic skiing footage that was voted the most dramatic competition in sport.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Franz Klammer was voted the most popular Austrian in a poll conducted by the Institute of Public Opinions in Austria and has consistently remained one of his country's most beloved citizens.  After his dramatic Olympic Downhill Gold Medal run in 1976, Franz is still the &quot;darling&quot; of the nation.  Franz Klammer's incredible career is being honored by his induction into the Skiing Legends Hall of Fame - a fitting honor for the man still affectionately known as the Kaiser.

Hotel is 4 star and all accommodations and travel are included in this unique package. &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;
&quot;Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.&quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
Robert F. Kennedy
Capetown, June 6th 1966
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Kennedy as she and a select high profile group travel to The Dominican Republic to meet the 2006 Human Rights Award Laurete Sonia Pierre.   The important work accomplished in the Dominican Republic is truly groundbreaking and is a rare opportunity to get up close and make a difference as part of this important human rights delegation.  Spend time on the ground and understand the global contributions of the RFK Center for Human Rights.  Learn how their work of building a civil society is crucial in our world today.   A particular focus will be spent on the human rights issues facing Dominicans of Haitian descent.   We guarantee that you will not return from this important trip without being impacted in a very positive and life changing way.
