Styling Tips
Quality Guarantee
After your wedding gown, a veil is one of the most defining aspects of your bridal appearance. Historically a veil was worn to protect the bride from evil spirits; nowadays it is simply considered a beautiful form of adornment. Today's bride can choose any type of veil she desires, but it is important to understand that a veil is an accessory, and as such only one part of your overall look. You need to consider how it will work with your dress, face shape, body shape, hairstyle and wedding location.
One of the most important considerations is selecting a veil that compliments your dress. Firstly, assess where the key focal points occur on your dress. For example, do you have an embellished bust panel, or perhaps a back detail you'd like to show off? In this case you need to either select a veil that ends before your point of detail, or choose a longer, sheer style that you can see the detailing through.
You also need to consider the style and the level of decoration on your gown. In general, if you have quite a simple dress you can carry off a more elaborate veil. However, if your dress is very detailed, a simple veil often looks more flattering. Only the most formal of weddings, such as royal weddings, tend to accommodate the combination of both an elaborate dress and veil.
Wedding gowns fall under several different broad styles and your veil needs to work with this style. There's the classic style, which is formal, symmetrical and usually elaborate in some way. The romantic style possesses an element of softness and usually incorporates lots of attention to detail. The sophisticated style is an understated look that is free from fussy details and the eclectic look is creative with unexpected touches.
All of these factors need to be considered when you choose your veil; length, width, color, tiers, and decoration.
Very Short - Very short veils such as blusher veils do not extend past the chin. Blusher veils resemble fascinators worn to horseracing events. If your bridal gown has a high neck detail, this type of veil can work well. They are a good style to pair with sophisticated or eclectic style wedding gowns. You can see our selection of blusher Veils
Elbow Length - Approximately 25 inches long, this veil falls to around the elbow. They can work well with romantic ball gown style dresses, because they end where the fullness in the skirt begins. You can see our selection of Elbow Length Veils
Fingertip Length - One of the most popular lengths, when you stretch your arm out it reaches around your fingertips. These veils are approximately 36 inches long and also suit the majority of dress styles. You can see our selection of Fingertip Length Veils
Chapel Length - slightly shorter then cathedral length; these veils still drape onto the floor. They are typically around 90 inches long. They are best partnered with dresses that feature a train. You can see our selection of Chapel Length Veils
Cathedral Length - the longest and therefore most formal, these veils are usually around 120 inches long and some extend up to nine feet along the ground. They work best with full length, classic wedding gowns. You can see our selection of Cathedral Length Veils
Your veil needs to be a suitable color match to your wedding gown. LightInTheBox offers a variety of unique colors to choose from, so you are bound to find a lovely match. There are several white and ivory shades, along with majestic red and silver. You can also choose between a regular finish and a shimmer finish. Veils with a shimmer finish offer a distinct shine, which is especially evident under the right lighting. In contrast, regular veils retain a more traditional matte appearance.

Veils with a shimmer finish offer a distinct shine, which is especially evident under the right lighting. In contrast, regular veils retain a more traditional matte appearance.
You can choose between a one, two and three tier veil. The choice is largely dependent on the style of your dress. A one tier veil is suited to a sophisticated look, but a romantic dress often benefits from a two or three tier veil. Classic dresses also tend to require at least two tiers. Multiple tier veils suit simple hairstyles because your hairstyle will be mostly hidden beneath the tiers.
One of the tiers is typically a blusher. This is the part of the veil that is used to cover the bride's face during the start of the ceremony. Today's bride is free to choose whether she wants a veil that covers her face or not; it's a purely personal decision. Many brides find the idea of their husband lifting their veil for the first kiss very romantic.
If you want to wear a blusher, you need to select a tiered veil that allows you to flip the blusher point over your face, or over the back of your head, before your first kiss. It is also best to select a veil that reaches at least shoulder length, because a blusher measures around 30 inches in length. A veil that is shorter in the back could look strange. Make sure that your blusher is no longer than 30 inches, because otherwise it might get tangled up in your flowers.
A veil can be finished in a wide variety of ways. You should select a finish that works with the style of your dress. If your dress is quite simple, you might like to choose a more decorative edge. Structured dresses tend to look good with thicker ribbon edges. Soft, romantic dresses tend to work well with a simple cut edge. It is also a nice idea to subtly mimic any of the details of your dress. LightInThebox can add custom accents to your veil, such as a scattering of pearls or rhinestones. We offer cut edges, finished edges, pearl, rhinestone, and a range of different ribbon edges to make your veil special.
A veil frames your face, so your face shape is an important denominator in choosing a veil.
Your veil has the ability to help correct the proportions of your body shape. If you have a large bust or stomach, you will benefit from wearing a long veil that extends to fingertip length or below. This is because it will help elongate your upper body.
Pear shaped women tend to suit veils that end at shoulder, elbow, or waist level. These lengths draw attention to your smaller points, rather than the width of your hips.
Full figured women should ideally stick to one tier, narrow width veils, because you don't want to add an extra volume to your body.
Tall women can typically carry off longer veils, but shorter women tend to suit veils that are waist height or above.
Your choice in hairstyle plays a role in determining what sort of veil and headpiece you can carry off. A heavy head piece, long veil, or multiple tiered veil all require a supportive up-do hairstyle like a bun. A half up/half down hairstyle will work with moderate weight and length veils. If you intend on wearing your hair all down, then it is probably best to stick to lightweight or shorter designs.
You also need to consider the placement position on your head. Some hairstyles suit a veil that is attached to the front of your head, but others look good with veil that is attached further towards the back. If you have short hair you will need to attach the veil towards the front of your head. However, if you have long hair and want to show off an elaborate up-do you will need to position the veil further back. Wide veils typically need to be worn towards the front of your head and veils that do not have gathers look better worn towards the back of the head.
Your veil can be attached with a comb and pins or combined with a tiara, crown, flower, bowknot or headband. It is a good idea to buy your veil well in advance of your wedding date, so that you can take it along to your hair trial.
You also need to give some practical consideration to selecting a veil that is suitable for your wedding location. A cathedral style veil is the ultimate show stopper if you are having a formal wedding in a large church, with several attendants. However it could be disastrous in another setting. If you are getting married in a small chapel, then it is best to stick to chapel length or shorter. This is because you won't have the room to show off a long trailing veil. Cathedral length veils also require frequent assistance from attendants.
If you are getting married in an outdoor ceremony, there are extra considerations to be mindful of. You may have sand, wind or dirt to contend with. If you'd like to keep your veil in pristine condition, it is advisable to choose a knee length veil or shorter.
However, many brides are happy to live it up for the day and aren't worried about trailing their veil behind them in the sand at the beach, or along a dirt path in a garden setting. Also bear in mind that in windy settings a long veil can be difficult to control.
Blusher veils can work well in these conditions. You might also like to consider the climate. For example; in hot, humid weather it is not going to be pleasant to be swathed in full layers that could stick to your skin.
Finally, if you struggle to find a veil that meets all the recommended requirements, consider ordering a custom made veil. Lightinthebox.Com can create a veil specifically to your specifications. You can choose the color, edging, cut, length and number of tiers.

ConnectU founders Tyler Winklevoss, left, and Cameron Winklevoss, right, who are twin brothers, and Divya Narendra pose following a news conference in Boston, Wednesday, July 25, 2007. A federal judge gave the three until Aug. 8 to flesh out their allegations against Mark Zuckerberg, which include fraud, copyright infringement and misappropriation of trade secrets over the Facebook Web site. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)
Just when the world thought the Winklevii had given up their Facebook fight, the twins are back with another lawsuit.
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss filed a new lawsuit against Facebook, just a day after deciding not to appeal a U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding their $65 million settlement with Facebook, to see if Mark Zuckerberg and his company "intentionally or inadvertently suppressed evidence" during settlement proceedings.
The twins, along with their business partner Divya Narendra, claim that Zuckerberg stole their idea to build a social network for college students when they were students together at Harvard.
The original suit was filed despite the twins reaching a settlement agreement with Zuckerberg and Facebook, which was famously turned into the motion picture "The Social Network." After reaching an agreement, the twins tried to change the arrangement because they said they had been misled.
The most recent claim was filed with the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts, and the twins are seeking to have documents revealed that would explain the exact relationship between Zuckerberg and them.

By Kelsea Stahler, Hollywood.com Staff
Everyone knows the hardest role to play in Hollywood is that of the buxom bombshell. At least that's what the latest profile of sex symbol Megan Fox seems to purport. But while there's definitely room to examine the value the celebrity world places on certain traits for certain people bombshells are people too, after all Fox's write-up in Esquire falls victim to the actress' evidently unavoidable allure. The problem is, her siren song is the surefire signal of an impending shipwreck. No matter how many times his words try to tell us about the thoughts going through her pretty little head, the author gets lost in her lips. Or her eyes. Or the "sublime" nature of her flawless face. This, my friends, is textbook fawning.
The profile opens by comparing Fox to a modern day Aztec sacrifice, only instead of taking her life, this celebrity-obsessed society wants to hold her still-beating heart while it still rests in her chest. But Fox is not exactly an Aztec, "She's a screen saver on a teenage boy's laptop, a middle-aged lawyer's shower fantasy, a sexual prop used to sell movies and jeans," writes author Stephen Marche. He later justifies her marriage to "the actor whose career climaxed twenty years ago," Brian Austin Green as a marriage of convenience, painting Green not as her white knight, but as a troll under the bridge, ready and willing to whip out his "grotesque anger" to keep photogs from capturing Fox's "glowing beauty." Marche's description is more tinged with jealousy of Green's good fortune than a factual glance at the couple's marriage.
So far, is it a bit much? Definitely. But it's the profile's muddled argument, overshadowed by its complete dismissal of Fox's own words, that provides the real issue.
Marche argues that the American bombshell is dying and that it's something worth saving, lingering on Fox's "unfettered sexual beauty" as an impediment, while "perfectly plain" stars like Adele, Lady Gaga, Amy Adams, and Lena Dunham are at the tops of their fields. With the exception of Dunham, who's been plagued with ruthless criticism of her body and face, none of these women have ever occupied a space anywhere near "plain." Unless, of course, the person doling out descriptions was blinded by the divine sight of Megan Fox.
What's more is that the author, who spends precious graphs early in the story describing Fox's inescapably arresting beauty, acts as if none of us could possibly understand the beauty he was witnessing in that moment:The symmetry of her face, up close, is genuinely shocking. The lip on the left curves exactly the same way as the lip on the right. The eyes match exactly. The brow is in perfect balance, like a problem of logic, like a visual labyrinth. It's not really even that beautiful. It's closer to the sublime, a force of nature, the patterns of waves crisscrossing a lake, snow avalanching down the side of a mountain, an elaborately camouflaged butterfly. What she is is flawless. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her.That's great, but what does Fox, who's tried and failed, to escape the overwhelming expectation for her to play the bombshell in every instance, who's needed comedy heavyweights like Judd Apatow go to bat for her (She's funny you guys! I promise!) have to say about this? Simply that she's tired of being bullied as a celebrity. And what is she usually bullied for? For being a bombshell.
But one could argue it's important to paint an accurate picture of one's subject. Still, the piece continues to put Fox on a dainty pedestal, literally interrupting her musing on modeling her career after Ava Gardner instead of her former role model, the doomed Marilyn Monroe. It's a moment that should speak for itself, it should say in Fox's self-professed revelation that this is a woman who gets it. A woman who understands the need to grow and change, and mature, and to deliver beyond the gorgeous facade. Instead, the realization is stinted by Marche's distraction mid-speech. "Ava Gardner did have control, over herself and others. But even as Fox says the name, a self-aware smile plays over those ultrasymmetrical lips. Self-awareness is her most attractive feature," he writes. Suddenly, this isn't so much an exploration of Fox's graces, but one of Marche's self control. And he's failing.
Now, the profile is running in men's magazine (though men's magazines aren't code for ""without responsibility"") and Marche isn't the first journalist to be unbound by his subject's arresting features. Just last year, actor Michael Fassbender was the subject of hyperbolic adoration in every profile written about him, the most memorable being the description in Vogue: "He sucks all the air out of the room, mesmerizing even the preschoolers in strollers His voice is as deep and gravelly as Harrison Ford's, his carriage as upright and intense as Daniel Day-Lewis's, the blue/green/gray eyes as attention-grabbing as Paul Newman's," writes Vicki Woods. As distracting as it is, that outpouring of obsession isn't uncommon.
So what's the harm? If it afflicts both men and women, why worry about one over-indulgent, fawning profile here or there? It simply accomplishes the opposite of a profile's goal. Where an interview seeks to give life to a pretty face and a body scantily clad on glossy magazine covers, or in Fox's case, stuck playing the role of Resident Hot Bimbo Babe, it seeks to provide depth below the glittery water's surface. However, Fox's Esquire profiler is so enrapt by her physical gifts that any words directly from the babe's mouth fall flat. In adulating her visual virtues, he actually completes the cycle he fears so greatly: the extinction of the American bombshell.

Looking for cheap Mandala Airlines tickets?
There are around 20 middle size and large airlines operating in Indonesia so it's always a good idea to compare prices before you buy a ticket. Being the biggest flight booking website in Indonesia, Tiket2 has up-to-date information about cheap promo tickets from all major low cost airlines.

Mandala Airlines info
PT Mandala Airlines is a privately-owned low cost airline established in 1969, with a base at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta. The airline was initially a part of the body of the Indonesian military - until 2006, when it was acquired by Indonesian transport group Cardig International.
Mandala operates a network of domestic services within Indonesia (13 destinations), focusing on Western Indonesia, and using a fleet of narrow body Airbuses. It also has 3 international destinations - Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore.
The airline was named after Operation Mandala, the military operations to incorporate West Papua into Indonesia. The name also refers to mandala, a Sanskrit term for a diagram symbolizing the universe (which is used as the logo of the company).
Mandala Airlines 2011 troubles
In January of 2011 Mandala announced that it suspends operations after revealing huge losses and debts of Rp 2.45 trillion (US$280 million). In April the company has fired half of its staff. In May 2011, Saratoga Group acquired a 51% stake in the airline, while Singapore-based Tiger Airways took 33%. Other creditors, through a debt-to-equity swap, will hold the remaining 16%. It is anticipated that Mandala Airlines will start to fly again in 2012.
Airline safety
In 2005 Mandala experienced a high profile accident in Medan. Boeing 737-200 departing for Jakarta crashed seconds after taking off from Medan killing 100 out of 117 passengers and crew members.
After the accident Mandala transformed its image into a modern airline satisfying international standards of safety, taking advantage of the relatively young age of its fleet. Mandala has completed the IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and is also listed in Category 1 by the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority for quality of airline safety.
Its safety improvements were recognized by the European Union and the Mandala was among four Indonesian airlines (Garuda Indonesia, Airfast Indonesia, Premiair) which were officially removed from the EU airline ban list in 2009.

Mandala Airlines had a checked baggage allowance of 20 kg per passenger, with an extra 5 kg for priority passengers. Passenger can pay for check-in baggage at the airport on the day of travel.
The fleet
Since January 2009, Mandala Airlines is a single class aircraft operator, having a fleet of the Airbus A320 family consisting of A319-100 and A320-200 types. Its fleet is the youngest among Indonesian airlines, averaging 6.8 years of age (as of May 2011), with the oldest dating from 1993.

Police are investigating whether Moors Murderer Ian Brady has written a letter to be opened on his death revealing the location of Keith Bennett's body.
But Martin Bottomley, head of investigative review of Greater Manchester Police's major and cold case crime unit, said: "We do not know if this is true or simply a ruse."
Police launched their investigation after Brady's mental health advocate told a Channel 4 documentary that he gave her a sealed envelope to pass to Winnie Johnson, the mother of his 12-year-old victim Keith Bennett, in the event of his death.
Jackie Powell, 49, who was appointed Brady's mental health advocate in 1999, was detained in south Wales on suspicion of preventing the burial of a body without lawful exercise. But detectives examining documents seized from Ms Powell's home have so far found no evidence to suggest Brady disclosed the location of Keith's body. And Ms Powell has since been released on bail pending further inquiries.
Mr Bottomley said in a statement: "We have been, and always will be, open to pursuing any new lines of inquiry that arise from significant scientific advances or credible and actionable information. I want to be explicitly clear about this: Ian Brady has not revealed to police the location of Keith's body.
"What we are looking at is the possibility, and at this stage it is only a possibility, that he has written a letter to Keith's mum Winnie Johnson which was not to be opened until after his death. We do not know if this is true or simply a ruse but we clearly have a duty to investigate such information on behalf of Keith's family."
Brady has always refused to disclose the location of Keith's body. His refusal has caused constant heartache for Keith's mother, who has cancer and recently appealed to him to break his silence before she died.
Brady and his partner Myra Hindley, who died in jail in 2002 aged 60, were responsible for the murders of five youngsters in the 1960s. Their victims were sexually tortured before being buried on Saddleworth Moor above Manchester.
Pauline Reade, 16, disappeared on July 12, 1963, and John Kilbride, 12, was snatched in November the same year. Keith Bennett was taken on June 16, 1964, after he left home to visit his grandmother. Lesley Ann Downey, 10, was lured away from a funfair on Boxing Day 1964, and Edward Evans, 17, was killed in October 1965.
Brady was jailed for life at Chester Assizes in 1966 for the murders of John, Lesley Ann and Edward. Hindley was convicted of killing Lesley Ann and Edward and shielding Brady after John's murder, and jailed for life. In 1987 the pair finally admitted killing Keith and Pauline. Both were taken back to Saddleworth Moor to help police find the remains of the missing victims but only Pauline's body was found.

When the Milwaukee Brewers play most of the teams in the National League you feel pretty confident that they will compete well and have a chance to win. They swept the defending champs from San Francisco earlier this season as an example. And then there are the St. Louis Cardinals. For some reason, the Brewers can't solve the Cardinals with or without Albert Pujols and Tony La Russa. The games don't seem as confrontational now that former Brewer Mike Matheny is at the helm but the results are mostly the same. The Cardinals swept a four game series this weekend and it wasnt pretty especially for the Brewer pitchers, Whether its Henderson & Axford or Estrada & Peralta, the Cardinal hitters feasted. The Brewers have a day off to re-group before hosting Texas for a quick 2-game interleague series. They then face a 10 game road trip that finishes up in St. Louis May 17-19th. We'll see if anything changes by then.
Lebron James became the fifth player to ever win 4 MVP awards. He joins a pretty select company which includes Jordan, Jabber, Russell & Chamberlain. Lebron is playing the game at another level right now...scoring, rebounding, defense & passing as well as anyone in the game. It will be tough for anyone to dethrone the Heat.
There are usually only a handful of drivers that have a chance any given week to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup race. David Ragan isnt one of them. But Talladega is different and yesterday Ragan won and his teammate David Gilliland finished second for the underfunded Furniture Row Racing Team. It's good once in awhile to see the little guys win one.
I'm going to be reminding you this week about our big Wausau American Legion Baseball fundraiser. This Sunday we will have our annual Mother Day Pancake Breakfast from 8-noon at Bunkers Bar & Grill (formerly the American Legion Club) located on Golf Club Road on Wausau's Northeast side. It's $8 for all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, juice,milk & coffee...$5 for kids under 12. And we will be having the drawing for our cash raffle at noon. Tickets are $20 and first prize is $1500 with $500 as the second prize. other prizes include Brewer tickets and more. Tickets are still available by calling (715) 297-1893 and will be available up to the time of the drawing on Sunday. I hope you can join us!
Thanks to the new owners at Bunkers for allowing us to continue this tradition!
The Legion Baseball season for the Wausau Post 10 Bulldogs begins on June 7th. I will share the schedule and this years roster with you soon.
If youd like to check ot a large number of Bulldog players...they will be squaring off for their high school teams on Tuesday as Wausau East hosts Wausau West in a doubleheader. If you can't make it to the games we will have them on the radio...3:45 pre game on FoxsportsAM1390 & FM 93.9.

Some consumer groups say hot weather is costing you at the pump, and now Congress is looking into the issue. It's a phenomenon called thermal expansion, and lawmakers say the oil industry has known about it for nearly a century. NewsChannel 11 alerts you to the possibility you're getting cheated at the pump.
It's not what people want to hear when gas prices are around $3.00 a gallon, but during the summer months drivers aren't getting exactly what they pay for. According to some consumer groups, thermal expansion causes drivers to lose up to nine cents per gallon, though it's a process many of us have never heard of.
"No, I didn't know that. All I pay attention to are the needles and the gas prices," Adriana Palomo said.
If you're like Palomo, you're not alone, but thermal expansion, or in an easier term, hot gas could gouge a bundle out of your summer budget.
"It is a little known industry secret that the amount of gasoline, when you fill up in the summer is less than the amount in the winter in terms of weight and energy," U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich said.
The phenomenon has fueled hearings on Capitol Hill and has pumped several lawsuits into Federal Court.
Like most liquids, gas expands with heat. That causes the weight of a gallon of gas to go down. The industry standard is set at 60-degrees, and right now, pumps don't compensate for fuel dispensed at higher temperatures.
"A gallon of gasoline at 60-degrees is going to be a gallon of gasoline. As you get to 70-degrees, then that gasoline will expand. You don't pay for quite as much as you would at 60-degrees," Charles Bolton from Bolton Oil Company said.
That means you're not getting a full gallon.
It's a hard concept to visualize. Here's the easiest explanation we found from Land and Line Magazine. Imagine two jars of marbles filled with marbles. The marbles represent the energy molecules in gasoline.
When gas is hot, the molecules spread apart, taking up more room. In our jar scenario, one jar would be filled, while in the other jar, some of the marbles would be forced out of the top because they're heated, and take up more room.
So, while the two jars have the same volume, they wouldn't have the same weight or the same amount of energy, so drivers wouldn't get the same bang for their buck from the jar heated to 70-degrees.
The opposite is also true, meaning drivers get a little more for their dollar in the winter.
"During the year, everything will average out. If you're a buyer strongly in one particular season of the year, you'll be at a disadvantage, possibly," Bolton said.
That's why those in the business buy bulk gas at a temperature-adjusted levels. Some consumer groups say every day drivers should receive the same consideration.
Canada has adjusted rates for their drivers.
"In Canada the oil industry moved quickly to adopt automated temperature compensation at the retail pump," Congressman Kucinich said.
Bolton says doing the same in the U.S. could end up costing consumers more.
"I feel like it would definitely raise the cost of fuel to the buying public, because it would be a lot of dollars to convert one unit, much less everyone in the United States," Bolton said.
Drivers like Palomo are just hoping for some relief.
"Because these gas price are going crazy," Palomo said.
We did ask if filling up in the morning would help folks get what they pay for. It could help, but it may not help all that much.
Bolton tells us once the fuel is delivered, the ground insulates it, so the temperature won't change dramatically from the ground temperature.
It's important to point out that adjustments would also have to be made for gas below 60-degrees if sales in the U.S. change, so it seems it could be a toss-up, depending on the climate, how much folks could save or lose.

Customer Reviews
Rated 4 out of 5�by 14 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jinx Good quality For the price, these gloves are prime. They make lifting more bearable and help relieve any fatigue you would receive when going bare. Only issue is the fit, you may want to go into the store and try them on before buying them. I bought medium. My hands range between small and medium size depending on the make of gloves. January 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bub Coke New Weightlifting Gloves My last pair of gloves were coming undone in the padded palm area (a different brand) and I had been procrastinating about purchasing a new pair. I knew I needed wrist supports and a good palm padding and these gloves exceeded my expectations. I'd recommend it to all those gym warriors out there who are serious weightlifters and are looking for a nice glove. August 26, 2013

Rated 1 out of 5�by Fulton945 Poor Gloves look good have good wrist support but build quality is horrible. They ripped apart in one week and padding is too little to help December 31, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Lifter69 Good lifting gloves with wrist support These are solid lifting gloves that provide good grip and excellent wrist support. I especially need that as my wrists are a bit weak. Very good value for money. October 28, 2012

Rated 1 out of 5�by meatpop garbage bought these for weight lifting, they absorb sweat and smell very bad if not washed every few days, fabric on gloves is not very durable, stick to leather gloves these also do not really prevent blisters August 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by GMMillwright Highly recommended Very comfortable and durable. First pair lasted several years before stitching broke. June 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by robfuse I'd buy this product again. I love these gloves! They feel great and have an awesome design by offering support and protection without feeling too constrictive. June 12, 2012

Patriot's tight-end Aaron Hernandez who is currently being questioned in the murder of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd is apparently no stranger to Providence Police.
A police report from May 18 has Hernandez involved in an altercation on Thayer Street outside Viva. The report says Hernandez was taunted by a Jets fan and police intervened to avoid a physical altercation.
During this incident a large crowd of people followed Hernandez down Thayer Street towards Olive Street. Police intervened to keep Hernandez from getting assaulted. Police followed Hernandez to his vehicle. During the incident Police observed a heavy set black man discard a firearm under a vehicle parked on the street near Karta bar. The man fled the scene and the gun was identified as a Jimenez .22.
Odin Lloyd was found dead by a jogger in a North Attleboro industrial park on Monday evening. He was shot execution style. Lloyd is a line backer for a semi-pro football team, the Boston Bandits.
On Wednesday police scoured the area for evidence and uncovered a gun. They are continuing to search for a silver car mirror cover that they believed to have broken off a vehicle.
Fox 25 in Boston is reporting that Hernandez, Lloyd and two others left in a car driven by Hernandez. Later only three men returned to Hernandez's $1.3 million home in North Attleboro.

i give you bertha mason. this one may be a little bit of a stretch, but indulge me. undoubtedly my favorite character in the charlotte bronte novel, jane eyre. bertha made the story a whole lot more interesting and is characteristic in novels of the time. there were often mysterious elements that could be construed as ghosts, predators or in bertha's case, insane attic dwelling first wives. indeed, bertha was mr. rochester's first wife and he felt obliged to take care of her despite her lunacy. naturally, bertha hated everything about jane eyre and took violent action against those around her as a result. who could forget the melodramatic shredding of jane's wedding veil? and then of course, she really lost it and burned down the entire house, killing herself in the process. she was a sad figure, essentially imprisoned at the hands of a man who rejected her and forced to watch the life she was meant to have be given to jane. too bad so sad. she probably wore whatever she could find up in that crazy attic.
1: who is this jane bitch?: pants by vivienne westwood red label, shirt by marni, cropped blazer by givenchy, boots by balenciaga
2: she's stealing mr. rochester?: dress by christopher kane, coat by balmain, shoes and socks by rag and bone
3: oh hell no, i'm burning this place down: shirt dress by maison martin margiela, pants and shoes by ann demeulemeester
she probably would've just worn an old shirt, but whatever.

Education system based on the mental ability of the student bypassing the present rigid system.
The idea is to make provision for slow learners, socially deprived by designing class system which could accommodate every student based on their mental ability and skills. This would shun present age based system and substantially increases class enrollment ratio. because what is important after all is an education which makes one proud. this system is implemented in a rural school of KARNATAKA state, INDIA. for more details visit http://www.divyadeepatrust.org/index1.php

More fatalities from being caught in machinery in 1997
January 12, 1999
In 1997, deaths caused by workers being caught in machinery increased, even though the overall number of deaths from work-related injuries remained about the same. A total of 189 people lost their lives after being caught in machinery, compared with 146 in 1996. The 1997 total was the highest reported in 6 years.
[Chart data—TXT]
Manufacturing accounted for the largest portion of deaths resulting from workers being caught in operating machinery. This was true despite the fact that manufacturing is considered relatively safe with respect to fatal work injuries. Deaths from material handling equipment were the most common in manufacturing.
Agriculture accounted for about 25 percent of deaths resulting from workers being caught in operating machinery. One-third of these fatalities involved balers, combines, and other harvesting and threshing machines.
Other industries with significant fatalities due to workers being caught in machinery were mining, construction, refuse systems, and scrap waste materials.
Data on fatal occupational injuries are available from the BLS Safety and Health Statistics program. For additional information, see "Worker Fatalities from being Caught in Machinery" (PDF 34K), Compensation and Working Conditions, Winter 1998.

If you don't have solid beliefs you cannot build a stable life. Beliefs are like the foundation of a building, and they are the foundation to build your life upon.
The greatest things are accomplished by individual people, not by committees or companies.
To accomplish great things we must first dream, then visualize, then plan... believe... act!

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
65% Syrah, 35% Grenache.
Lancyre's flagship bottling, produced from some of the oldest Syrah vines in the Languedoc! Cassis, plums, spearmint and licorice on the nose. Deep and dense on the palate, with an underlying minerality and a long finish.
Excellent with filet of beef, grilled tuna steak, or gamebirds.
"Domaine Lanceyre's 2007 Coteaux du Languedoc Pic Saint-Loup Vieilles Vignes – from Syrah with 35% Grenache, tasted assembled from tank – offers a marrow-like sweet, meaty savor as well as stone and graphite minerality to complement its abundance of rich, fresh black raspberry, plum, and cherry. This superb value offers abundant herbal inner-mouth aromatics as well, and clings with invigorating vivacity and intriguing complexity. I would feel comfortable holding it for 4-6 years. For a note on the impressive 2006 Vieilles Vignes bottling, consult issue 178. I cannot pretend that my palate agrees with those of Durand and Valentin as to the virtues of the barrel regimen employed for the estate's ostensibly top, Syrah-dominated – "Grande" – cuvee ,which includes a bit of Mourvedre as well as Grenache.
91-92 points."

The Wine Advocate
The Chateau was built in the 1500's on the ruins of a 12th century fort. Records of winemaking in the building date back to 1550, and ruins of stone cuves from that period are still visible. The Chateau and 37 acres of Carignan and Cinsault vines were purchased by the Durand and Valentin families in 1970. The winery was in poor condition and the families started restoration work...Read More About Chateau de Lancyre

'Dancing' Champ J.R. Martinez Welcomes Daughter
Former "All My Children" star and Season 13 "Dancing with the Stars" winner J.R. Martinez has a new prize to cherish – his newborn daughter.
The 28-year-old Iraq war veteran and girlfriend Diana Gonzalez-Jones welcomed daughter Lauryn Anabelle Martinez on Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, a rep for J.R. confirmed to Access Hollywood.
According to People, the couple's bundle of joy weighed in at 7 lbs., 13 oz. and is 21 inches long.
"She's already got a nickname – Belle," the proud dad told the mag. "She has a couple of cute little freckles on her cheeks, a full head of hair and the cutest little lips."
Adding, "It's just amazing to see her, finally. She's beautiful."
J.R. first met Diana when he joined the cast of "All My Children" in 2008, where she was working as the assistant to the soap's executive producer.
"We were friends, and, you know, it was a workplace, so you don't want to cross the line. I was respectful of that, and for about two years we were great friends," J.R. told Access Hollywood Live's Billy Bush and Kit Hoover during a visit to the show in November 2011.
"Finally, something happened, something clicked, and I just said, '[Do] you ever look at me differently than just a friend?'" he said at the time. "And she kind of paid attention to it, and here we are! It's great."

And we got to wear sunglasses.
Anyway, if I had to do a different job at WDW, it would be on a spieling attraction, since my fave part of my current role is speiling in Turtle Talk, and when I previously worked on the Friendship Boats, my favorite part of that was speiling as well....it would be awesome to get to spiel on Jungle Cruise or Kilimanjaro Safaris!
Character Performer (Fur or Face) would be a lot of fun too! I actually think Im going to audition to switch to that soon...I wanna be Peter Pan!! Im the right height and Ive been told I look the part
Honestly, despite the fact that I am a moderately successful project lead and software engineer in Kansas City, I would shovel the elephant sh-- at DAK for a chance to operate Expedition Everest.
Just as a few examples: The Grouse Mountain resort, in west Vancouver, BC, has a raptor show every summer. And let's not forget that the Great America parks, at one time, had dolphin shows at a couple of their locations. So did Magic Mountain (in fact, I was a volunteer there for a while).
Jumping over to Ohio, let's not forget Cedar Point. They've had a dolphin show for ages (assuming it's still there).
So, with that in mind -- If I could do something like that for a day, at my current rate of pay, I'd pick presenting a birds-of-prey show at Grouse. Gorgeous location!
Happy travels. Oh, and Happy Birthday Robert!
And, thank you. :-)
aka - The Jake Blues. ( I should know... )
I'd agree with the post above and second "Jungle Cruise Skipper." any other job in the park would be pointless to me. It's JCS or nothing.
Universal Studios:
Universal Horror Make-Up Show (the host)
Terminator 2: 3D (the overzealous and peppy Public Relations guide)
Disaster! (the worker interacting with Christopher Walken)
The Simpsons Ride (I never received a spiel, but I'm such a Simpsons nerd that I'd make one up - "Welcome to The Simpsons Ride, the world's most cromulent attraction")
Magic Kingdom:
Haunted Mansion
Disney's Hollywood Studios:
The Magic of Disney Animation
The Great Movie Ride
Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Innoventions (any of the attractions)
Mission: Space (I just love this ride, despite that Gary Sinise covers most of the spiel)
Living with the Land
O Canada! (appropriate due to my heritage)

Spencer on the Case: It's Not About the Climate
We noted here last week that a UN "Leaders Climate Summit" is getting under way in New York next week, but that no world leaders are showing up. Obama, however, is planning to turn up, though that does not falsify our conclusion that no world leaders are showing up. (Anyone want to bet there will be a fundraising event on the itinerary somewhere? The golf game is a given.) We've »
Is John Kerry a GOP Double-Agent? [With Comment by John]
Never mind the idea that Nancy Pelosi may be a GOP deep-cover double-agent.* I think I've figured out who is operating in even deeper cover: Secretary of State John Kerry. Today in Jakarta Kerry spoke about the causes of climate change. Here are some highlights of Kerry's keen grasp of science: The science of climate change is leaping out at us like a scene from a 3D movie. . . »
Is Pelosi a GOP Plant?
Like the email John mentions below, there are ample other reasons to wonder about Nancy Pelosi's probity. I've always heard that she is very skillful at the back-room aspects of party management in the House, and she better be, because when she opens her mouth to speak, you can expect a disaster that could make even John Kerry cringe. Last Friday on Bill Maher's HBO "comedy" show, she said, "Civilization »
Ein Klein Nichtmusik
We took early notice here a couple days ago in "Full Frontal Environmentalism" of Naomi Klein's forthcoming book This Changes Everything. We may need to start a running series here about Klein, as the left is clearly trying to create a publishing sensation akin to Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century and Perlstein's The Invisible Bridge.

What's Wrong With California in One Map
Remember Barry Goldwater's famous line that the country would be better off if we sawed off the Atlantic seaboard and let it drift out to sea? Well, the same thing should be said of coastal California. This isn't exactly news of course, but below is a great photo that dramatizes the problem: it shows which California counties have banned single-use plastic bags. No mystery as to the politics of this. »
The Week in Pictures: Unitarian Edition
The most astounding news of the week is that the Bad Guys of the Week in the Middle East, the "Islamic State In Iraq" (ISIS) or the "Islamic State In the Levant" (ISIL) or ISIOMH ("Islamic State Inside Obama's Mush Head") is not Islamic! Pay no attention to the term Islamic in their name! I'm sure Obama is right; they're probably Unitarian Universalists. Oops—that's the problem: they're universalists. They want »
Full-Frontal Environmentalism: We Knew It All Along
There's an old line that environmentalists are "watermelons"—green on the outside, red on the inside. A lot of environmentalists will take great offense if you say this: No no! We like economic growth and capitalism just fine! We just want it to be "sustainable," whatever that means. And don't ask for specificity about what "sustainability" means in detail, unless you have a lot of time and a full bottle of »
Foreign Policy Mulligan
John and Paul are both working on reactions to Obama's speech as I type–and maybe we'll actually have the first ever Power Line competition to post first on Obama's latest divot, I mean pivot, to jobs in a speech about foreign policy. What was that about? (Actually I see John already beat me to it. Hey Scott: Care to play too, or is it past your bedtime?) Someone emailed before »
ISIS: What Would Churchill Do?
Power Line has come into possession of a transcript of a recent telephone conversation between President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron, who, as everyone knows, has been way out in front of Obama in judging the seriousness of the problem posed by the rise of ISIS. Obama: Hey Dave, it's Barry. How you likin' those groovy tunes on that iPod I gave you at the G-8? Cameron: Barry! »
From the Archives: House GOP Leadership Then and Now

What If They Gave A Climate Conference and Nobody Showed Up?
We keep hearing that climate change is the worstest most serious epic crisis ever to face the United Federation of Planets the world. At least that's what 97 percent of somebodys say.

Well, the UN's Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is convening a major "Leaders Climate Summit" »
Whale of a Tale
So everyone knows that mankind hunted whales nearly to the brink of extinction, etc., etc. So what has happened since whaling was finally discontinued, which didn't happen until as late as 1971 for some species such as the blue whale? Nature magazine reported last Friday: Blue whales along the US west coast seem to have recovered from decades of hunting, surprising researchers and regulators who had listed them as threatened. »
Has The World Gone Mad?
Well, yes, of course, it has. The only reason to ask the question again is to see what new and outrageous form of madness has bubbled to the surface this week. How about the Ray Rice situation? Whether he deserved to be banished from the Ravens, and perhaps the entire NFL, is fodder for bar room arguments when ESPN Sports Center is droning the background. Surely the NFL mishandled this »
Udall or Udull?
During my recently concluded year as an inmate at the University of Colorado at Boulder I took note of Senator Mark Udall, now running a close race for re-election against a spirited challenge from Rep. Cory Gardner. Udall, who, like the other senator named Mark struggling for re-election, is trading mostly on a family name, struck me as an especially mediocre version of the species Liberalis Americanus, so much so »

Strangest Story of the Week

A Contrarian Look at Research in Motion
Leo is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Shares of Waterloo, Ontario-based Research in Motion (NASDAQ: BBRY) plunged after the company reported its third quarter earnings after hours on Dec. 20. The BlackBerry maker, which had rallied 3.6% in anticipation of its earnings, posted an adjusted loss of 22 cents per share on revenue of $2.73 billion, topping the analyst consensus of a loss of 35 cents on revenue of $2.65 billion.
Despite beating estimates, the 47.2% drop in revenue from the prior year quarter's $5.17 billion raised concerns that expenses for its eagerly anticipated BlackBerry 10 platform were draining cash reserves. However, cash reserves increased $600 million to $2.9 million from the previous year.
Before we proclaim that the sky is falling and start to sell with the herd, I think it's wise to study the contrarian view on Research in Motion.
Positive Catalysts on the Horizon
Earlier this month, RIM shares rallied sharply after the U.S. government canceled plans to purchase Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone for its employees, instead giving Research in Motion's flagship BlackBerry devices one more chance. BlackBerry's enterprise-level security, which is considered more robust than that of Apple's iOS or Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android, was cited as the primary reason for the sudden change of heart. Enterprise users still favor BlackBerry's system over Android, due to the threat of malware and security issues in Google's operating system, which could compromise sensitive corporate data.
This development has cast doubt on the outlook first presented by the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal, that claimed Apple would overtake Research in Motion and claim the title of top operating system for business enterprise users by the end of 2012.
RIM management has promised that BlackBerry 10, the long delayed update of its mobile operating system, will be available by the first quarter of 2013. In addition, bullish analysts believe that BlackBerry 10 has the ability to capture market share from Samsung, Apple and Google, since strong developer and carrier support is anticipated on its release in January. RIM also announced an upgrade to BlackBerry Mobile Fusion 6, which allows BlackBerry devices to interface with iOS and Android devices.
Can the Underdog Climb the Ladder?
Before we get ahead of ourselves and proclaim that the skies have cleared and a turnaround has started for Research in Motion, let's take a look at the chart of third quarter smartphone shipments (ending on Sept. 30) from the five largest players in the market.
It's clear that the past year has been a devastating one for RIM, while the top three players -- Samsung, Apple and Sony -- are posting strongly positive year-on-year growth.
However, a second look at the chart tells us that Research in Motion is actually faring strongly in a Google-dominated market. Three of the five companies -- Samsung, Sony and HTC -- run modified versions of Google Android.
With its own operating system, Research in Motion is in a far better position than HTC, which is still struggling to make its Android smartphones stand out in comparison to Samsung's flagship models.
Research in Motion is also still ahead of Nokia (NYSE: NOK), which is trailing in seventh place with 6.3 million units shipped in the third quarter. Nokia's smartphone shipment volume plunged 38% quarter on quarter, and it is still relying on Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Windows 8 smartphones to turn around its struggling business in the coming year.
Institutional Investors Are Still Bullish
Institutional investors, some of Research in Motion's biggest customers, are still confident in the company's growth prospects. Over the past quarter, hedge fund interest in RIM rose by 32%. However, Citadel LLC CEO Ken Griffin notably sold off 80% of his stake in RIM.
A main concern that overshadows RIM's recent victories is its product mix of lower-end BlackBerry phones, which the company has been pushing out to tread water until the release of BlackBerry 10. Analysts are concerned that these lower-end phones will cause margins to contract, a problem that has been exacerbated by increased competition from hungry low-end smartphone manufacturers from China, such as Huawei. Analysts, such as Sterne Agee's Shaw Wu, were not satisfied with "the unanswered questions around the future of RIM's high-margin services business" in the company's most recent conference call.
For now, bulls are betting that Research in Motion's most recent quarterly earnings is a legitimate sign of good things to come. The stock is up 6.3% over the past month and 68.6% over the past three months, so the sentiment is still bullish, despite its recent post-earnings 23% plunge.
Could the underdog Research in Motion stage an eleventh hour comeback and surprise Apple and Samsung? Less than a decade ago, few believed that "underdog" Apple would ever recover, and no one believed that mobile industry leader Nokia could be toppled. If RIM plays its cards perfectly in the coming year, it could very well be granted a second chance at recapturing the market it helped create.

Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: TRLA LULU EOG BDX CMG VPHM (Update1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
(Updates from 10:27 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Wednesday:
Cramer said investors still want exposure to residential real estate, which is sending up shares of Trulia (TRLA), but he's still a fan of Realogy (RLGY). Cramer was also upbeat on Lululemon Athletica (LULU), saying that he's betting product recalls won't ding customer loyalty.
TRLA ended Wednesday up 5% at $32.09 while LULU fell 0.4% to $62.78.Cramer was also bullish on EOG Resources (EOG) after the company made another small acquisition in the Eagle Ford shale. He said Beckton Dickinson (BDX) "owns" the injectable drug market. EOG fell 0.5% to $128.20 while BDX rose 1.3% to $95.16. Are shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) going higher? Cramer said if same-store sales edge higher they most certainly will. He was also bullish on Viropharma (VPHM), a drug maker he said can go "much higher." CMG rose 0.7% to $320.59 but VPHM was up 6.1% to $24.86.
