...Godiva chocolates, and you may find a card giving you a night in a chocolate-covered suite created by Top Design's Jonathan Adler at New York's Bryant Park Hotel. The room are completely kitted out in chocolate - and I mean completely - from a chocolate mosaic wall, chocolate covered table, with chocolate candles and flowers, to a chocolate headboard on the bed. There's even an abstract painting done in dark, milk and white chocolate. No golden ticket in your box? Don't despair, there are 100 other winners out there who will get chocolate for year, delivered...
...future results. All you have to do it take a look at some of last year's biggest percentage gainers to understand that. Solar-panel maker First Solar, which rose more than 700% last year, has lost more than half its value so far in 2008. Fertilizer manufacturer Mosaic, which last year saw its stock triple amid the commodities boom, is down 67% since January, as boom has morphed into bust.

There’s the Byzantine stone and glass mosaic on the fourth floor that recalls the short, bright strokes of color in Klimt’s “Pear Tree” on the first, as well as Josiah Wedgwood’s 18th century English reproduction of the Portland Vase which is not only reminiscent of Greek...
...often hallucinatory stylization of animal and vegetable shapes; the first sign of its incursion into Miro's work is the 1918 Standing Nude, whose sturdy body, pleated with Cubist (or at any rate, cubified) wrinkles, poses against a drapery covered with arabesques and birds. And then there were the mosaic inventions of the Catalan artist Josep Maria Jujol, who was working for Gaudi when Miro was a teenager, and whose wandering line and isolated words set in tile clearly stayed in Miro's mind when he was doing his poem-pictures. Miro's work thereafter would stay populated with images...
