What to Look for in a Brisbane South Electrician
With so many options to choose from, how are you supposed to zero in on an electrical contractor that will go the distance for you? We are confident that you won't find better service than what you will get with CLF Services, and we are excited to show you what we can do. In the meantime, here are some handy tips for selecting the right electrician:
- Track record – When it comes to professional electrical services, actions speak louder than words. It's easy for a company to make big promises, but following through on them is another matter entirely. With that in mind, it pays to stick with electrical contractors that have proven track records of success. For example, CLF Services has been providing electrical repairs, installation and maintenance services across greater Brisbane for more than 10 years. During that time, we have developed strong relationships with countless clients, and we enjoy a high volume of repeat business. We are happy to provide you with references from our highly satisfied customers—and that is something that any good electrical company should be willing to do.
- Credentials – Again, never just take a company's word for it that they have the qualifications that are needed to safely and effectively carry out electrical repairs, installations and maintenance. Demand proof to ensure that you don't get mixed up in an unpleasant situation. In particular, make certain that the contractor is duly licensed, bonded and insured. These protections aren't just there for the contractor—they are there for your safety too. CLF Services is fully licensed, bonded and insured. We hold liability insurance through Protecture, with policy CC1064160L. A member of our team will be happy to provide you with documentation upon request.
- Value – It is important to ensure that you are being charged a fair price when seeking electrical services in Albion. One of the best ways to do so is by requesting quotes from at least three different contractors. CLF Services is pleased to offer free, completely transparent quotes that allow you to know what to expect from square one. Thanks to our standardised pricing, you never have to worry about surprise charges or hidden extras, so the price that you are quoted is the price that you will pay. You are sure to find that CLF Services' rates are among the most competitive around, and we back up both our labour and parts with industry-leading warranties.
- Services – It stands to reason that if you are going to hire an electrical contractor, it should be one that truly does it all. Unfortunately, many contractors and tradies make big claims about their offerings but fall woefully short when it matters the most. With CLF Services, you can rest assured that you are working with professional contractors and master electricians that can handle all repair, installation and maintenance requests. We are truly your one-stop shop for all of your residential, commercial and industrial electrical needs, so you can count on us for anything that you may require.
- Quality – It is important to avoid electrical contractors that cut corners to pad their bottom lines. All too often, electricians rely on the cheapest parts or tools to save a buck or two, and the customer is the one who suffers in the form of poor repairs and shoddy workmanship. With CLF Services, you can breathe easy in the knowledge that we strictly stock and use the latest, best and most proven tools, parts and equipment. All of our services and products are backed up by industry-leading guarantees, so you can hire us with confidence. What's more is that every member of our team undergoes extensive ongoing training to ensure that their skills are always up to date.
Residential Electrical Services in Brisbane South
As a Brisbane South homeowner, you already know how important it is to have qualified contractors and repair companies at the ready. A huge part of owning a home is keeping up with its ongoing maintenance, and its electrical systems are among its most important components. Nearly every area of your home is dependent on electricity, including its appliances and heating and cooling system, so it is crucial to know where to turn for help when problems arise. In the Brisbane area, including communities like Logan, Ipswich, Redland and Moreton Bay, CLF Services is the contractor to trust for all of your home electrical repair, installation and maintenance needs.
Residential Electrical Repairs
Nothing is worse than encountering an electrical problem at home. From faulty wiring to overloaded switchboards, there are all kinds of opportunities for things to go wrong. Due to the hazardous nature of working with electricity, do-it-yourself repairs are generally not recommended. Around Brisbane South, homeowners who need electrical repairs are wise to turn to the experts at CLF Services. There are plenty of reasons to trust our team of highly trained professionals for all of your electrical repair needs, including:
- No cutting corners – When you hire CLF Services for residential electrical repairs, you hire quality contractors who never cut corners to save a buck. We rely on only the most proven tools and equipment, and we continually upgrade our selection to ensure that it is in top-notch shape. By the same token, our company only uses first-rate parts that don't wear down again right away, costing you even more. Despite the fact that we use only the best parts, tools and equipment, we are able to provide electrical repairs that will suit virtually any budget, so you simply can't do better.
- Done right the first time – Nothing is more frustrating than hiring a contractor to perform electrical repairs only to have them spring right back up again. Oftentimes, this issue occurs because the technicians who are doing the work don't have the expertise that is needed to get the job done correctly the first time. With CLF Services, you never have to worry about our technicians learning as they go. Our company requires all of our electricians and master electricians to undergo ongoing training and education. CLF Services' technicians undergo training at the manufacturer too, ensuring that they know precisely what to do regardless of the kinds of issues that they encounter.
- Competitive, transparent pricing – When a company provides a quote or estimate, you should be able to count on it being accurate. Unfortunately, that's not always the case, and companies often lure customers in with low-ball quotes but surprise them later with extra charges and fees. That's not the way that we do things at CLF Services, though. When you contact us for electrical repair services, we provide you with a quote that includes all of the costs upfront. What's more is that our rates are among the most competitive in greater Brisbane, so you don't' have to break the bank to get the job done right.

In the very unlikely event that you are not completely satisfied with the work that we have done, we will make it right.
- Friendly, reliable service – Finally, CLF Services understands that opening your home to contractors can be stressful. Our team consists of courteous, clean, friendly technicians and tradies who will arrive at your home in crisp uniforms. Every member of our team is trained to provide the best in customer service, and you can be sure that you will be treated with courtesy and respect from beginning to end.

Meet Your Merchant: Bluestone Jewelry offers jewels, diamonds for all occasions
Special to the Sun
TAHOE CITY, Calif. – Walking into Bluestone Jewelry, the first person, or dog, you're likely to meet is Bo.
A tiny 1-year-old pup, Bo is dressed in festive Santa attire as he greets customers shopping for last-minute gifts for their friends and family.
"I love this time of year," said Marc Bigelow, as customers walked through the doors shortly after opening on a cold December morning.
Bigelow, who owns the store with his wife, Linda Bigelow, has jewelry and watches for all occasions and price points. From the popular Lake Tahoe jewelry to local designers Minchou and Janice Carson, the Bigelows have a wide selection of jewels for that special someone in your life.
The homey store opened in December 2007, after the couple moved from Michigan to Tahoe to fulfill Linda's dream of living in the mountains. When the location in downtown Tahoe City opened, they knew it was the right time to open up shop.
Warm and inviting, the store feels more like a friend's home than a retail space. Bluestone also has a selection of photography on the wall, all inspired by Lake Tahoe.
"We started from the ground up," Bigelow said. "Every year it's been growing steadily."
After five years, Bluestone recently opened a second location in Truckee.
"A spot opened up in Truckee and we thought, well this is time," Bigelow said of the idea to open a second shop.
The store in Truckee aims to combine some of the finer things in life, including jewelry, wine and food. The shop has a "Wine Mine," Bigelow explained, which features a selection of wine from smaller vineyards such as Sierra Foothills. Bigelow added that the store wants to feature smaller vineyards, since he and his wife operate a small, family-owned business.
"It's been fun for us to expand that area," Bigelow said of getting into wine and select foods.
Bluestone Jewelry has a master jeweler who has 36 years of experience, Bigelow said. Bluestone is a full service repair shop, covering everything from installing watch batteries to converting jewelry and creating custom pieces.
While the store has a variety of pieces, Bigelow expressed that one of the most important parts of the business is having price points for every customer.
"Our whole goal is to have price points, where if you want to get something for $25 or $50 or a lot more, we can fit your budget. We build pieces that are affordable," Bigelow said. "We try to have unique styles and things that are more cutting edge."
Bigelow explained that most of the pieces in the store can be made info custom articles by adding different stones or cuts.

Researchers looking to make screening more accurate, less invasive
Colon cancer screening is a tough sell. It's icky, uncomfortable and the thought of a colonoscopy - especially the prep - can be intimidating, to say the least.
But here's what clinches the sale: Colon cancer can be largely prevented through proper screening.
Researchers, including those at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, are working to make colorectal screening a little easier, through a combination of more choices and less-invasive procedures.
Colorectal cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in both men and women, surpassed only by lung cancer. Some 148,810 Americans will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer this year, and 49,960 people will die from the disease.
U-M colorectal cancer specialists are working to raise awareness of the disease and the importance of prevention. March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month.
In recent years, efforts to increase awareness have led to slow and steady climbs in screening rates. New data released this month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed 60.8 percent of adults were current with colorectal cancer screening recommendations in 2006, compared with 53.9 percent in 2002. But these numbers lag significantly in comparison with other cancer screening tests, such as mammography or Pap smears.
"It's important to be screened routinely for colon cancer, and there are a variety of tests available to help do that. If we reached full compliance with colon cancer screening, we could prevent more than 90 percent of colon cancers," says D. Kim Turgeon, M.D ., clinical associate professor of internal medicine in the division of gastroenterology at the U-M Medical School.
Turgeon and other researchers are continuing to look for less-invasive screening methods to encourage more people to get the test. One potential option researchers are looking at is a test to look for markers in blood or stool that might suggest colon cancer. Then only those with suspicious results would be referred for further tests, such as colonoscopy.
In separate research, Thomas D. Wang, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of internal medicine and biomedical engineering at U-M, reports this week in Nature Medicine on a potential new technique to screen for colon cancer. The method involves topically applying a type of probe called a peptide, that is labeled with a fluorescent agent. The peptide is designed to target pre-cancerous changes in the colon. Then, using a special microscope that fits through a standard medical endoscope, a doctor can spot these suspicious lesions.
"There's been a lot of effort behind screening patients for polyps that you can see with a white light endoscope. But if the cancerous or precancerous lesions are flat, you can't see them with standard screening techniques. We are using advanced imaging to look at molecular targets rather than structural changes. We hope this approach will allow us to find more lesions than with conventional colonoscopy," says Wang, who conducted the research while at Stanford University.
The researchers found that the peptide bound to pre-cancerous tissue 81 percent of the time. They hope to identify additional peptides that would bind to other targets to increase this method's promise.
Currently, screening guidelines include a choice of four different tests:
- Fecal occult blood test, which checks for blood in the stool
- Colonoscopy, the gold standard, in which an instrument is inserted into the colon through the rectum
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy, which examines the rectum and lower colon using a different instrument
- Double contrast barium enema, a series of X-rays of the colon and rectum
This month, experts added two new screening tools to the arsenal: Virtual colonoscopy, which uses a CT scan to look for abnormalities; and a stool test that looks for DNA markers associated with cancer. Neither test is currently covered by insurance, although experts hope the CT colonography will be covered within a year.
Screening for colon cancer should begin at age 50 for people of average risk. Those with certain risk factors may need to begin screening earlier. For information about colon cancer, visit www.mcancer.org or call the U-M Cancer AnswerLine at 800-865-1125.

Amanda Bynes conservatorship ruling delayed
A California judge delayed making a decision Friday on whether former child star Amanda Bynes should be put under the conservatorship of her parents.
Ventura County Superior Court Judge Glen M. Reiser said there was no rush to act on the request by Bynes' parents because the actress is under a two-week psychiatric hold at a hospital.
Reiser scheduled a hearing on the issue Aug. 9 and said he also wants to meet one-on-one with Bynes before making a decision.
The 27-year-old actress' behavior has become increasingly bizarre over the past year.
Bynes was put under the psychiatric hold Monday after authorities said she set a fire on the driveway of a home in the Los Angeles suburb of Thousand Oaks, where she grew up.
In May, Bynes was arrested in New York for allegedly throwing a marijuana bong out the window of her 36th-floor Manhattan apartment. Police had come to the apartment to investigate a complaint that she had been smoking marijuana in the building's lobby.
Last year, Bynes was charged in Los Angeles with driving on a suspended license, the license having been suspended after she was charged with driving under the influence and misdemeanor hit-and-run.
Bynes, who was only 13 when she landed her own hit variety program, The Amanda Show on the Nickelodeon cable network, went on to star in the TV series What I Like About You and several movies, including What a Girl Wants, Hairspray and She's the Man.
Her career has declined in recent years, and the Internet Movie Database lists her last film credit as 2010's Easy A, which starred Emma Stone.

Neem is an ancient herb from India, which is known for its medicinal benefits externally and internally. Neem's extremely high antioxidant content, high levels of fatty acids as well as its anti-inflammatory properties and antibacterial abilities makes it an excellent choice for people with chronically dry or irritated skin. Some people have even reported healing of precancerous cells!
When taken internally, neem is said to support the health of skin, immune system response, blood purification, and healthy bowel function.
The one thing I must warn you about is that neem has a VERY distinct odor. I would say it's like a mix of peanuts and garlic. I know that doesn't sound very appealing, but when mixed with other scents, it's not so noticeable. Plus, its benefits can be well worth getting used to the unique scent.
Here are some beauty products with neem that I really love:
Organix's Theraneem Ultimate Support Orange & Ylang Ylang – Excellent for sensitive skin. I love using it instead of face wash. ( $5.56)
Organix's Neem, Lemon & Peppermint TheraNeem Scalp Therape Shampoo – Clarifies and rejuvenates the scalp. (on sale for $11.96)
Auromère's Ayurvedic Lavender-Neem Soap – Lavender + Neem + 16 other herbal extracts to cleanse and restore skin. ($2.95)
Dr.Hauschka's Neem Hair Oil – Ideal for an irritated scalp and dry/damaged hair. Also adds great shine! ($39.95)
Have you tried any products that contained neem before?

Weak PC Demand Hits Chip Makers' Earnings
Asia's major memory-chip makers continued to post weak results in the third quarter as personal-computer demand waned, with consumers switching to mobile devices such as tablet computers and smartphones.
Makers of dynamic random access memory chips for PCs have been struggling in recent years with falling prices and slack demand as PC manufacturers cope with the slowdown. And while DRAM prices had recovered some as oversupply temporarily eased with the bankruptcy-protection filing in February of Japan's sole maker, Elpida Memory Inc., they have resumed their downward trend in recent months.

Front Sight Courses > 2 Night Handgun Skill Builder
Register for this course at MyFrontSight.com
|2 Night Handgun Skill Builder
Handgun Skill Builder (Night) is the follow-up course for students who have completed the
Two-Day Handgun Skill Builder or Two or Four-Day Defensive Handgun course.
Cost: $1,000.00
Prerequisite Class(s): 2 Day Handgun Skill Builder or 2 or 4-Day Defensive Handgun
ALL students must show photo ID at Sign-In, regardless of age!
Why Night Courses?
Most fights occur during times of low-light or even complete darkness. Training during daylight hours alone is not preparing you to win should you ever need to fight with your firearm in the dark. That`s why Front Sight offers you a selection of our courses at night. We offer our night courses during the summer months when the daytime temperatures in southern Nevada are quite hot but the nights are beautiful. The weather during the night courses is usually about 70-75°, calm, and clear. Who could ask for better training conditions?
Hours of Training:
Please arrive at Front Sight by 5:30 P.M. on the first evening of your course. The courses run from 6:30 P.M. to 12:30 A.M.
How are the night courses different from the daytime versions?
Front Sight`s night courses start in the evening before the sun sets. This allows a brief review of the skills learned during the prerequisite courses. As the sun sets and the light fades, you will be learning low-light techniques to get reliable hits on your target. Once the ambient light is gone, you will be using your flashlight to gain target identification, sight alignment, and sight picture. You will learn night-specific After Action Drills and malfunction clearances.
The night courses offer a variety of tactical exercises and do not have a skills test.
You must have completed the 2 Day Handgun Skill Builder or 2 or 4-Day Defensive Handgun at Front Sight with the weapon you wish to use at night.

Base Camps: The Lookout
As a reckless, broke-ass youth, I experimented with all manners of budget mountain sustenance: pocket PB-and-J, ketchup-packet tomato soup, Clif bars, and cup-o-soups. Though cost-effective, these options never seemed to cure the hunger pangs of a good day on the hill. My hollow stomach always let me know I was cutting a few corners.
Now that I'm somewhat gainfully employed, I like to splurge a bit on my on-hill eats, but $16 lodge burgers make me ill. I'm also a big supporter establishments with character that serve up tasty and affordable mountain fare, which is why The Lookout at Sun Valley, Idaho, is one of my favorite on-hill spots in the country.
The Lookout has that musty, old, brown-bag lodge feel that one comes to miss in the modern era of white-tablecloth mountain dining and extravagant chalets. The one-story, flat-roofed building on the summit of Baldy Mountain is a stark contrast to Sun Valley's other lavish lodges. But what it lacks in luxury, it easily makes up in personality. It's the on-mountain meeting point for just about every hoodlum that calls Idaho's Wood River Valley home. At any one point during the day, there are usually a few dozen folks in the Lookout that have skied Sun Valley for 30 to 40 years mixed in with an equal amount of younger faces. It's the site of extended après and late-season parties. And as of this year, it's also home to a damn fine taco bar where $3 gets you a heaping pile of pork barbacoa, chili-roasted chicken, or beef al pastor wrapped up with all the accoutrements and topped off with a serve-yourself salsa bar. Tall cans of beer ring out at the low-low price of $3 so a legitimately filling lunch—two tacos and a beer—will only set you back $9. It's fricking brilliant.
For regular folks, skiing can be a high-dollar proposition these days, which is why funky, rootsy, and genuine on-mountain establishments like The Lookout should be celebrated. There aren't a whole heck of a lot of them left.

If one were to look up the word philanthropy in the dictionary, chances are you would find Sam Switzer's name mentioned. Who can forget his stellar $250,000 contribution to last year's Herald Christmas Fund?
Or his amazing contributions to myriad organizations, not only in the city, but in Israel, as well?
That award-winning author Sydney Sharpe has written a book about Switzer is apt indeed. Friends and family gathered in Gasoline Alley at Heritage Park Oct. 30 for the launch of Seeking the Summit — the 218-page story of Sam's life.
See a photo gallery of the event.
Among those in attendance were: Sharpe's proud husband, Herald columnist Don Braid; Flames president and CEO Ken King; Calgary Stampede CEO Vern Kimball; Frank and Lorraine Sisson; Aron Eichler and his son Jeff; Lou Pomerance; Ron Switzer; Darlene Switzer-Foster; CTV News' Janet Dirks; and Metropolitan Centre's Howard Silver.

I'm an editor at the publisher O'Reilly Media. Right now I specialize in books on programming languages and data analysis.
O'Reilly Media reached its first crest of fame when we published The Whole Internet at the beginning of 1992; it was the first successful book describing the Internet for non-technical readers. Further spurts of fame came with our Emerging Technology conferences (growing out of the Peer-to-Peer conference of 2001) and founder Tim O'Reilly's invention of the term Web 2.0 in 2004.
Before being known to the wider public, we were already highly regarded among anyone who has seriously used Unix or the X Window System. Later, our popular books included various series on Perl, Java, Linux, and the ground-breaking Head First and Missing Manuals series. Online, we started the Global Network Navigator (possibly the first site on the World Wide Web to publish professionally edited content and accept advertising), Web Review, a technical information site called The O'Reilly Community, Safari Books Online, and our MAKE site of Do-It-Yourself projects, a companion to our popular magazine of the same name.
This page is here to answer questions from people who would like to write a book for us, or are just curious about how we create and market our work. Everything here represents my own point of view; it is not an official company statement. People interested in writing for us should also read the official O'Reilly author's Web page.
Starting in 2004 I began to research the wide range of free, user-contributed documentation on the Internet: web pages, mailing lists, and other media for sharing technical information. Materials about that research are available on separate page, and are included in my list of online articles.
I can be reached at email andyo at domain oreilly.com.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - The worst drought in half a century will hit livestock producers in the United States harder than grain farmers as soaring feed costs erase profits and drive many to take on more debt, downsize herds or simply leave the field altogether.
But no one will be hit harder than dairy farmers.
Analysts say it will be the small dairy farmer who will be in the most intense fight to survive. Milk producers came into 2012 already weak from abundant supplies and stagnant prices. Larger farms and well-funded corporate milking operations continued to squeeze out small producers. Then the drought nearly doubled the price of corn, soybeans and hay.
Unfortunately for dairy farmers, milk prices have not - and are not likely to - keep up with such soaring feed costs. Consumers tend to absorb higher prices of staples like milk but also reduce consumption, which can force costs back on to the producer, analysts say.
So the economics of supply and demand are set to tighten the vise even more.
"Survival is on the minds of all," said John Wilson, a senior vice president with Dairy Farmers of America, Kansas City. "Whether they are in a drought area or not, their cost of production is greatly impacted by these high corn and soybean meal prices and alfalfa hay. The milk price has not kept up. The dairy commodity prices are inching up but not fast enough to offset the increased costs. So dairy farmers are really thinking about survival," Wilson said.
In 2011, there were 60,000 dairy farmers in the United States, down from 62,500 in 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. While the number of milk cows on July 1 was 9.2 million head steady with a year ago, milk production rose. Output in the top 23 states totaled 51.5 billion pounds in the April-June 2012 quarter, up 2 percent from a year earlier, USDA said last month.
Each cow in 2011 produced about 21,000 pounds of milk for the year - about 58 pounds a day. Each needs a daily ration of corn, soybean meal and hay.
"The challenge in the dairy industry is that during the first half of the year, we had record production. Inventories of finished dairy products in the United States and around the globe are adequate. As a result, I don't see our milk prices rising quick enough to catch-up or offset the rapidly rising feed costs," said Mary Keough Ledman, a dairy industry consultant and a former USDA economist and manager of dairy economics for cheese-making giant Kraft Foods.
"That's going to put dairy farmers in a real tough margin squeeze in the second half of this year. It is likely that the industry will experience pretty significant reduction in the U.S. dairy herd between now and the end of the year," Ledman said.
She said the U.S. dairy herd could shrink by as much as 2 percent by January 2013, compared with a year earlier.
South Dakota dairy farmer James Neugebauer, with a herd of about 170 dairy cows and heifers, said he began hauling some of his animals to market a couple weeks ago as the hottest July since the 1930s burned his crop fields to a crisp.
"There were super long lines. The sale started two hours early and they had record amount of cattle," said Neugebauer. "Those that aren't making us any money are getting out of here. We can't afford to feed them."
During June, dairy farmers lost about 25 cents on every gallon they produced, said Tom Gallagher, chief executive for Dairy Management Inc, a trade group.
The outlook for feed costs is sure to get worse before it gets any better.
USDA on Friday cut its U.S. corn crop estimate to 10.8 billion bushels - down 4 billion from its first forecast. USDA also slashed it soybean crop estimate, now expected to be a nine-year low.
After the data was released, corn prices set a new record high at $8.49 a bushel at the Chicago Board of Trade and soybeans look set to follow suit this month.
Milk futures traded steady to weaker.
Even with feed costs soaring, USDA did not project a large jump in milk prices for the next year. Average price for 2012 was raised to $17.65 per hundred pounds (cwt), from $17.20 seen in July. For 2013, USDA projected the average price to rise to $18.30.
Michael Hutjens, dairy specialist at the University of Illinois, said milk consumers were likely to absorb the initial rise well.
"Milk was $16 per cwt in the spring. It looks like it could rise $3-4 by fall. Since each gallon of milk weighs about 8 lbs that comes to 35 cents a gallon," he said. "If the price of a gallon of milk goes up 35 cents in August, no big surprise at this point."
The outlook for a mild rise in price is tied to the outlook for only the mild cut in milk output. USDA cut its 2012 estimate by 1.6 billion lbs to 200 billion lbs - less than 1 percent. For 2013, output was cut only 1.3 percent from earlier projections. The reason? The dominance of large farms will grow.
Chris Hurt, agricultural economist at Purdue University, said that for nearly 20 years the U.S. dairy industry has been transitioning to larger dairies of 1,000 head or more from smaller family farm dairies that might milk 50 to 200 cows.
"The families that are left are very strong financially, so it's not easy to displace them. If they want to milk cows, you're not likely going to be able to discourage them easily," Hurt said. "On the other hand, you get the dairies with 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 cows and they financially with their lender are absolutely entrenched. So they cannot just get out of this business next year," he said. "Everybody looks at each other and says you get out."
But for smaller dairy farmer like Neugebauer in South Dakota, such staying power may be beyond their means.
"I know one dairy farmer two weeks ago who was on the phone for over four hours trying to find a load of corn. He finally found some for $8.30 a bushel. He was 250-head dairy and he said he's done. His banker is going to shut him down because he can't afford to do that," Neugebauer said.
Desperate for forages and watching his soybeans wilt in his field, Neugebauer sounded resigned.
"We will probably be baling soybeans before too long here. There won't be anything there either," he said, adding that if he doesn't find cheaper feed and things don't improve soon his own future looked dim.
"I probably won't be milking next year," he said.

Kate Middleton Buckingham Palace Wedding Dress Display [Pictures]
Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress Goes on Display; See the Gown Details Up Close
>> Starting tomorrow through Oct. 3, the wedding gown Sarah Burton designed for Kate Middleton will be on display to the public at Buckingham Palace as part of "The Royal Wedding Dress: A Story of Great British Design." In addition to the gown, Middleton's handcrafted Alexander McQueen bridal shoes (size 8, with three-inch heels), the diamond acorn earrings gifted to her by her parents, the Cartier Halo tiara she wore that was loaned by the Queen, and a silk flower replica of her bridal bouquet are all showcased for close viewing. There's also a 5-minute film about the creation of the dress, featuring Burton.
Among those details that were not visible from the wedding telecast: the wedding train's elaborate individual panels, which were deliberately engineered to hold their shape as the bride walked the long aisle, and the pumps' lace covering. "It was a feat of engineering," Burton says of her design, adding: "It needed to be light." The dress is estimated to have cost £250,000 (approx. $408,000) and according to curator Caroline de Guitaut, its waist size is "small."
De Guitaut added that it was Middleton's choice to put the dress on display: "The Duchess considered a number of options, and then decided that she would like it to be displayed here at Buckingham Palace, which of course was the scene for the celebrations after Westminster Abbey, so it is very fitting that it should be shown here exactly where the reception took place."
The Queen and Middleton inspected the exhibit today; a video can be seen here.

Jimmie Johnson finally responds to Donovan McNabb
HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- So, he's the six-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, being hailed by others as one of the greatest -- if not the greatest -- stock-car driver of all time, but let's get to the heart of the matter:
Is Jimmie Johnson an athlete?
"Yes, I am an athlete, and so is every other driver in one of these race cars," Johnson said, pausing to set up his punchline. "Even Tony Stewart."
The question was raised Friday night by former NFL quarterback and Fox Sports Live analyst Donovan McNabb, who said, "Do I think he's an athlete? Absolutely not."
MCNABB:Ignites NASCAR fans' ire with athlete comment
The comments angered fans and pundits, who took to Twitter in Johnson's defense, but, while McNabb fanned the flame, Johnson had kept mostly quiet about it.
"I did have some great support over the last couple of days, which is awesome," said Johnson, who said six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan had been teasing him about only having five Cup championships.
"I can't wait to send him a text and say, 'Hey, buddy, I've caught up,'" Johnson said.
JOHNSON:Wins sixth Sprint Cup title
Never one to compare himself to other professional athletes, Johnson said he might have to reconsider after the sixth championship, but then quickly changed his mind.
"It's not like me to think in that light," Johnson said. "I guess I need to open my mind to it, because the numbers speak for themselves. I find myself in a touchy situation sometimes in that my quiet approach can be looked at as arrogant or cocky, and that's the furthest thing from the truth in what I'm trying to portray.
GLUCK:Johnson is NASCAR's greatest driver ever
"I'm just trying to say the right things and keep my mind in the right space. I haven't let a lot in, and it's led to more success, and it's kept my work ethic intact and it's kept me honest and humble. I like that about myself. I don't know if I want to open my mind up and let it in (and consider) where I might stand in the sports world. It's not time for that, in my eyes."
