| Riverside museum hosting Tiffany exhibit
"I have always striven to fix beauty in wood or stone or glass or pottery, in oil or watercolor, by using whatever seemed fittest by the expression of beauty; that has been my creed, and I see no reason to change it." -- Louis C. Tiffany, 1916 Let's get something straight. Those so-called Tiffany lamps you see in the Royal Falconer British Pub in Redlands, the Sassy Steer in Colton, Lamps Plus, Target and a friend's kitchen? Inspired or influenced by the original leaded-glass lampshade, these designs shouldn't be confused with the real McCoy. "Tiffany revolutionized the field when he began making windows and lamps using glass that actually had the color in it, rather than the color painted onto the surface," said Lindsy R. Parrott, an expert on Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Lampard ready for Hornets
Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard will play against Watford despite missing England's Euro 2008 qualifier against Andorra. The 28-year-old suffered a fractured wrist in training after being struck by a Wayne Rooney thunderbolt on Monday. Speculation in the media suggested that Steve McClaren had dropped Lamps, but Blues assistant manager Steve Clarke has insisted this was not the case. "The boy was injured and he couldn't play in the match," said Clarke on Sky Sports News. "The decision was taken not to play him and not to risk him. "He was happy with that decision and is now happy to be back here at Chelsea." There were also rumours that his club arranged to fly Lampard back to England on a private jet, which were also denied by Jose Mourinho's right-hand-man.
Modernism Exhibit Depicts the Art in Ordinary Objects
JEFFREY BROWN: They were also obsessed with technology, the machines that would make this new world possible.

JEFFREY BROWN: And so the world began to look different. New car design: This model, called the 77A, was made in 1938 by the Czech Tatra Company.
