Why Choose Platinum When Shopping for a Wedding Band? (video)
Celebrity Weddings and Event Planner, Robert C. Smith
of Laurel Events, recommends to his clients that they look at platinum when looking at wedding bands (see above video).
"It is so durable, it is heavy, it has a weight to it, it is not something that is too feminine, so it is an obvious choice for grooms," he says. "I really recommend that the bride and groom wear the same material."
Smith also urges couples to take the time to go to a good jeweler well in advance of their wedding date. "Look ahead of time, don't rush, and choose platinum and you will be great every time," he says. "Don't wait until the last minute to pick your ring. It is one of the most important decisions you are going to make. So get out there, educate yourself and find out what platinum is all about."

Charging out of last week's Republican National Committee meeting in Boston, Chris Christie's message was clear: The party needs to ditch fights over ideology and get back to winning elections.
"I am in this to win," the New Jersey governor told establishment Republicans. "I am going to do anything I need to do to win."
Christie aims to do just that in his home state, where he's expected to be easily re-elected in November.
But others see his winning attitude, popularity, and personal forcefulness as qualities that make him a possible favorite for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
Christie says he's focused on his current job and plans to keep it. Growing outside expectations for a national candidacy bring positive attention that can amplify his message and agenda for the state.
But the leading edge of presidential politics -- welcomed by him or not -- also comes with new scrutiny and pressures that will test his ability to govern effectively if he is in fact positioning himself for a run -- and a win.
"The politics -- he got three big audiences he's got to be worried about: New Jersey, where you have a moderate to left-leaning audience. Soon, he's going to be worried about Republican caucus-goers (in Iowa). Going to be much more conservative. And then at the end, he's going to be worried about those swing voters," said Jennifer Millerwise Dyck, a Republican strategist and former George W. Bush campaign spokeswoman.
As governor, Christie finds himself in a far different position than other potential 2016 contenders.
Those in Congress flirting with presidential ambitions can posture, propose bills that go nowhere, and largely avoid accountability for a period of time, if they choose.
Those outside of government entertaining White House possibilities may have more room to position themselves; travel more freely to key states and otherwise test the waters without having to think twice about how a tweet, or a speech or a photo-op might play at home.
Christie must run New Jersey. He must make decisions that effect nearly nine million people - execute policy, sign or reject bills, and be a visible booster for a state where the economy continues to recover slowly and still feels the effects of Superstorm Sandy last October that devastated parts of economically vital Jersey Shore.
Though there is an upside that may favor winning.
Beginning with Thomas Jefferson, 17 governors have run for president and won, and two of the last three Republican presidents -- George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan -- were governors before they entered the White House.
Republican voters, too, seem to prefer candidates with Christie's background. One April poll showed 59% of GOP voters said they would prefer a governor as their party's nominee, compared to 23% who opted for a senator.
"As a candidate, it is probably helpful to be a governor," said John Weingart, associate director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University. "You are making decisions, you are exercising leadership, in a way that you can't do if you are one person in a legislative body."
But the up and down nature of what Christie faces was clear over the past several days.
There was his speech in Boston, a largely positive moment for him.
Then it was back to business.
In the span of a few days, Christie approved edible forms of marijuana to be available to qualified minors, vetoed a weapons ban and decided to outlaw gay conversion therapy for minors in his state.
Each decision was viewed through a presidential political lens and presented complex challenges that impacted the lives of people in his state.
A centrist by comparison?
When Christie forbid gay conversion therapy for minors, many conservatives took to Twitter to critique the decision.
"The future Democrat president candidate?" asked Tom Orr. "If Chris Christie gets the Republican bid for President I will not vote Republican," tweeted Brian Vazquez.
For his part, Christie has been outspoken in favor of compromise and working with Democrats.
"We can stick to our principles and still come together to compromise," Christie said on Monday. "Compromise is not a dirty word. It is the way this country was built. And we need to get things done for the people that elect us."

John Walker - Limited Production?
I'm interested in purchasing the "John Walker" from Johnnie Walker (the newest of the blue label blend). Only thing I'm concerned about is it's production numbers. Originally I remember it was supposed to be limited to 330 bottles. Then I read it was 330 bottles per cask, but they never mentioned how many casks they had or how often it would be released? Reason I'm wondering is because when it was released, it was supposedly **** out in most international markets (Australia, Japan, etc.). But I've been through a few dfs and it's commonly available. Even whiskyexchange has a bottle on **** for a discount. Anyone have any insight into this? Thanks |
As far as I know JW Blue is a "standard" brand i.e. one that will be bottled every year although in smallish numbers although these numbers may, or most probably will, increase over the years. Most companies talk about "small runs" which normally means they only have a limited amount of whisky to bottle currently but as each year goes by they will bottle more and more.
If you want limited editions then look for those special bottlings that say something like "bottle number 123 of 1234" then you know that there will only be that number of bottles available. If you Google Laphroaig Cairdeas 30 Year Old you will see what I mean |
I think you're mixing up standard JW Blue label (~$200) which is commonly available globally with the JW Blue Label 200th Anniversary Limited Edition, which is a cask strength special edition of "blue label". It is limited to 330 bottles and sells for around $3000.
There are JW 200th bottles still available for **** in the US. The standard JW Blue may in fact be quite "limited" in it's production as well, but it's not limited enough to effect availability, and it seems to be regularly produced. Cheers.
Regards, Brian Whisky.com Forums Moderator AUDENTES FORTUNA IUVAT 十人十色 "Chill out, it's just a whisky forum." |
Ok, sorry. I forgot all about this when it was announced a couple years ago. A few more minutes of research and I rediscovered the John Walker from Johnnie Walker. It looks like a new version of the 200th anniversary and appears to be a cask strength vatted malt blend as well. It was only available in limited editions of 330 bottles as it is additionally married together in a 100 year old cask. According to their press release, they plan to release multiple editions. "No two batches will ever be exactly the same." It may have been discontinued. Interestingly it also **** for $3000. It doesn't appear to be currently for **** anywhere, but you can still pick up the strictly limited 200th at a discount! Very unusual. I'm sure the 2 are essentially the same, though not "exactly" the same.

Hi, well I bought 2 copies of the special collections of the Walker Jonh Baccarat bottle engraved in gold casket in a limited edition of 330 copies rooted in the world only 15 for the Italian market.
After a while I began to doubt given the large number of bottles that go around the world who are definitely not 330. I am interested in having any information about it, especially in the mode of ****. thanks |
I fear you are right Kenneth. they will introduce a second cask as the original 330 bottles from the first cask are ****. this of course does depend on sell through at retail level as shops will not continue to take them if they can't move them - the DFS shops at LHR, Hong Kong etc.. still have them and there are several distributors in the US who have them available. Hope this helps Frans

31 May - 02 Jun 13
Categories:WRC, WRC-2, WRC-3, JWRC
Most Recent Winner:Sebastien Loeb (2012)
High ambient temperatures, rocky, undulating roads and dust combine to make the Acropolis Rally one of the most taxing on the World Rally Championship calendar with car and crew subjected to a particularly stern test.
Greece returned to the WRC schedule in 2011 after missing out in 2010 when its absence was keenly felt, not just by the fans that descend on the event in great number, but also by the drivers. The Acropolis is one of the most iconic events in the sport and winning it earns significant kudos. It has only missed two years since the WRC was first established in 1973 (the other one being a non-WRC rally in 1995) and was a favourite of Colin McRae who won it an amazing five times.
Following a somewhat nomadic existence in the early part of the new millennium with the base chopping and changing between various locations around the Greek capital Athens, the move to Loutraki for 2009 proved a hit and the town on the east coast of the Gulf of Corinth will continue to host the rally in 2013 on the back of a successful return in 2011.
This year's Acropolis itinerary is changed considerably from the 2012 edition. Following the Qualifying Stage over a 6.05-kilometre course on Friday morning (31 May) to decide the running order for day one, crews head east to the capital Athens and the famous Zappion for the ceremonial start. After that, the event proper begins with the marathon 47km Kineta-Pissa stage - the longest test of the rally - and then a late evening run of Kineta.
Saturday's itinerary consists of eight stages over a demanding 12-hour period. With service during the day restricted to just one 30-minute halt in Loutraki, the challenge is further increased due to the limited amount of repair work that can be undertaken.
Sunday is a slightly more tame affair with just four stages. The event concludes with the repeat of the 30km Loutraki test, which is this year's Acropolis Power Stage

Having a cell phone that works internationally is a great way to communicate with all of your friends in the program and a necessity in emergency situations. The good news is that, with the right information, getting an international cell phone can be a relatively quick, painless and (if you plan well) inexpensive process. Here are some options:
Local Pre-Paid Cell Phones
It's generally cheap and easy to find a pre-paid phone in whatever location you'll be studying in, and you'll have the comfort of knowing that you won't be shocked by a large phone bill at the end of the semester. Buy as much as you think you'll need at the beginning and re-fill as necessary. Keep in mind, though, that you will not be able to get your money back for pre-paid minutes not used. Another drawback is that you will not have a cell phone upon your arrival in your first country.
Using Your Current Cell Phone
Depending on the type of cell phone and carrier you have, it may be possible to use your US cell phone overseas. Options include setting up an international plan with your US-based carrier (this can be costly, so make sure you're aware of all fees and rates included) and purchasing a local SIM card that will work in your current phone. It's also possible that your phone will work overseas with no prior setup, but you will likely be charged high international roaming fees, and the costs will be even more exorbitant if you have your data turned on.
PicCell is an external vendor that supplies cell phones and SIM cards to students who are traveling abroad. Although they are not associated with or endorsed by St. John's University, they do provide a special offer to St. John's students that can be a good option, depending on what you're looking for. Here are some of the features of the PicCell program:
You'll be able to order a PicCell phone directly through the special St. John's student page on their website, www.piccellwireless.com/stjohns_summer.

I think that most poets use rhyme to make their poems more catchy and interesting. Rhyme also helps people who read the poem remember it. Imagery helps people paint a picture in their mind, and if it's a good picture, then they will remember it. I think that by saying, "a poem "begins in delight and ends in wisdom." Robert Frost means that we can really learn things from poems. We can learn things from poems yet they were also meant to please.

More and more in recent years, I am seeing "overselling" by the seller or Realtor. I have gotten to the point of, after the introduction...asking...can we just walk through the home? Is that okay. Buyers don't need to see every draw that glides and how much room is at the back of what appears to be a stuffed closet. Not to mention following an agent or seller into a bathroom that we all cannot fit in to. Remember overselling can be an overkill. Now of course this isn't always the case, the most professional agents know this. AND thank goodness for locboxes. I think the biggest oversell experience I have ever had was when a seller said to us was when we were walking out the door.. .."and if you bring me a contract within 48 hours.. I'll knock another $5,000 off the price. That was right after the buyer said to me ...let's make an offer on this one.This message has been edited. Last edited by: real estate lady, | |||
Oh, REL, I so hate it when the listing agent or a pushy owner is present for a showing. I know some seller's are paranoid and think we are going to rob them blind, but you really don't get to relax while showing the property. I really steer away from visiting broker open houses. OMG! I hate smiling and being nice to the other agent when all you want is out of there. | ||||
Yeah that's so true its really very irritating when the owner is present their. Raleigh New Homes Miller Derek | ||||
Great job! With your very first post you broke the rules of the forum. Are you that conscientious with the Realtor's code in your business? | ||||
________________ And I think he meant to say: "Yeah (comma) that's so true (period) It's (capital I, letter t, apostrophe, letter s ~ to imply the contraction "it is" instead of the possessive "its") really very irritating when the owner is present (t-h-e-r-e instead of "their.") I usually never comment on spelling/grammar here on the boards as we are all here just to have fun and it's a bit relaxed re proper language BUT, Derek, if you are going to break all of the rules of this message board to advertise your company? Think they might it appreciate it more if you represented them in a professional fashion. | ||||
Speaking of grammar and spelling, am I the only one who gets a little crazy when the house description (supposedly written by a real estate professional) talks about the "dinning" room? | ||||
LOL, another message board I frequent deals with people who love cruise ships. It is funny how many people will post about the "dinning" room. | ||||
Haha..years ago I think in the 90's there was an issue about the "master bedroom". It was changed by law and we then had to call it something else..I forget what it was. As time went by it went back to the "master bedroom". | ||||
Back when we bought our house in Virginia, the realtor and I went to a house where the buyer showed us around. It was unnerving!! She offered that she would replace all the carpets with whatever I wanted, and since she didn't work, she would be available if I wanted to schedule any contractors in. I RAN from that house....... I felt like she was completely desparate (which was odd, since it was at the ramp up of the house sales in that area - everything was being snapped up quickly with multiple offers....). Creepy..... | ||||

'Gangnam Style' is most watched video in history
Billboard calculates video is watched 76.4 times per second
UPDATED 3:04 PM CST Dec 21, 2012
If you have yet to watch Psy's "Gangnam Style" video you may be the only one.
According to Billboard, it just became the first video to garner more than 1 billion views on the Internet (cue the wailing from Justin Bieber fans).
The video recently overtook Bieber's "Baby" video as the most watched on YouTube, breaking the teen heartthrob's former record of 803 million views.
Billboard calculates that "Gangnam Style" is watched 76.4 times per second. They cite Next Big Sound in theorizing that, at its currrent rate, Bieber's video won't cross 1 billion views until 2014.

On the eve of the first presidential debate, conservative media outlets seized on footage of a five-year-old, widely covered speech by then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, who argued at the time that the federal government discriminated against Hurricane Katrina victims.
The June 2007 speech at Hampton University in Virginia was widely covered by CNN and other news outlets, as Obama was already well into his presidential campaign, running alongside then-Sen. Hillary Clinton at the front of the polls.
However, the conservative news outlets that pushed the video Tuesday night argued the media skipped over portions of the speech.
Speaking to a largely black audience, Obama in the video made the case that race relations still had a long way to go in the United States, claiming the divide most severely has an impact on impoverished parts of the country.
The 2007 event was open to the press, and CNN affiliate WAVY recorded the full speech. The crux of his speech was reported by CNN at the time on air and online.
The speech was reported on or discussed multiple times on CNN over a three day period.
Segments aired on the "The Situation Room" and CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight" on June 5, 2007, which was also the day of a CNN Republican presidential debate.
The next day, CNN anchor Paula Zahn noted in her program, "Because of the Republican debate, you might have missed a new controversy involving Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama." Her program, "Paula Zahn Now," included a report on the comments and a panel discussion. A report by CNN Correspondent Mary Snow on the racial aspect of the comments also ran on CNN that day.
Clips of Obama's speech also aired on CNN "Newsroom" at least twice on June 7, 2007.
Five years later, CNN Senior Political Analyst and National Journal Editorial Director Ron Brownstein pointed out on CNN's "Newsroom" Wednesday morning that the speech was widely covered not only by CNN, but by others.
"This was hardly a secret tape," he said. "It's in the tape library of most of the networks, including CNN. It was discussed not only with [Fox News commentator and conservative] Tucker [Carlson] but on Fox. ABC talked about it."
In the re-circulated version of the video Tuesday conservatives especially jumped on a moment in the speech when the president appeared to stray away from his prepared remarks and blast the government for allegedly treating victims of the Sept. 11 attacks differently than those of Hurricane Katrina.
In the speech, delivered before a minister's conference, Obama first spelled out a provision in the Stafford Act that requires local and state governments to match a certain percentage of federal funds provided for emergency assistance. The law currently says those state and local governments must share 25% or less of the cost of "essential assistance."
"Some states, for example, have established a 15% local and a 10% state match combination," the law stipulates.
Obama, however, slammed the government for not waiving the matching funds in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane.
"Now here's the thing, when 9/11 happened in New York City, they waived the Stafford Act -- said, 'This is too serious a problem. We can't expect New York City to rebuild on its own'," Obama said, growing emotional. "And that was the right thing to do. When Hurricane Andrew struck in Florida, people said, 'Look at this devastation. We don't expect you to come up with y'own money, here. Here's the money to rebuild. We're not gonna wait for you to scratch it together -- because you're part of the American family'."
He continued: "What's happening down in New Orleans? 'Where's your dollar? Where's your Stafford Act money?' Makes no sense. Tells me that somehow, the people down in New Orleans, they don't care about as much!"
In the years since Katrina, the government has taken steps to expedite assistance and funds to the ravaged Gulf Coast. As of the disaster's seventh anniversary, the Federal Emergency Management Agency had spent $19.1 billion in Louisiana alone to help victims of Katrina and Hurricane Rita.
Critics also highlighted comments Obama made about his pastor at the time, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Standing on stage, Obama pointed to Wright in the audience and described him as "the guy who puts up with me, counsels me, listens to my wife complain about me."
"He's a friend and a great leader. Not just in Chicago, but all across the country," he added.
Less than a year later, the presidential candidate would be forced to distance himself from Wright after video emerged of the reverend making controversial comments about race in a sermon.
Some conservatives argued Obama's 2007 praise of Wright represented his true feelings about the pastor.
Throughout the 2007 remarks, Obama called for more investment and job training in poor communities and minority-owned businesses. His speech was targeted to his audience and tailored with themes of "hope" and "overcoming obstacles" that are traditionally heard in black churches.
The then-senator ended his remarks, saying: "America will survive. Just like black folks will survive. We won't forget where we came from. We won't forget what happened 19 months ago, or 15 years ago, or 300 years ago."
Conservative blogs and news websites lit up Tuesday afternoon when the right-leaning news aggregator, Drudge Report, first alerted that a television network would be releasing "curious tape" that would "ignite accusations of racism--in both directions."

Less than two months to go until Election Day in a debate continues over voter ID laws.
Critics -- the loss or -- GOP ploy to suppress turnout and make it harder for minority voters to participate.
Supporters say voter fraud is real and the laws are important safeguard.
-- on a -- author of who's counting how monsters and your cats that your vote at risk and former member of the Federal Election Commission joins us now.
With some perspective.
Thank you for coming -- I know that you are on top of these cases.
But often as we've discussed.
When you have critics of voter ID laws on.
The argument goes and there isn't really a problem with with fraud and so these laws are only meant for suppression.
Yeah that's that's certainly not true and look in the last two weeks we've had.
More voter fraud cases.
For example the democratic candidate for the first congressional district in Maryland had to resign last week from the race -- because they discovered.
That she had registered and voted.
In both Maryland and Florida.
That's a problem -- that is a problem or listen another -- -- -- -- for people convicted in Little Rock, Arkansas.
For voter fraud including a state legislature.
-- -- who had to resign.
And he won his race through fraud a race that was one and only eight -- fraud can make the difference in a close election.
Actually in this race this presidential race is one of the tightest that we see it is and a -- it especially in states sound -- -- swing states that are very very close and pulling within the margin -- -- -- let's talk -- we had a former senator Norm Coleman on the show earlier and different topic but.
I noted to him that his case is -- the most -- -- -- -- Peterson developments and not everybody's aware of because it was a very tight race with now senator Al Franken.
But there's a lot more to the story after the election.
Al Franken was declared the winner after litigation by a little over 300 votes well since then we've learned that 11100 felons voted illegally in that election 177 of them have been convicted there -- dozens of the cases pending.
So we know the number of illegal votes was three times the margin of victory and was that an important case yes Al Franken provided the sixtieth vote the passed obamacare so that that election -- affected every single person in the country.
Arne -- -- play a little bit of Kerry Washington -- very famous actress and what she had to say at the DNC just a few days ago.
There are people out there trying to take away rights that are mothers.
Or grandmothers.
And Howard great grandmothers -- -- Right that we thought our our right -- How are right big -- How are right up affordable quality education.
Cool okay.
That could help air and meet the -- -- not.
As you touched on a lot of issues there -- person that she mentioned was our right to vote.
So how did those who support these voter ID laws then it turn around and -- can be the argument that this isn't about taking away anyone's right.
That there are legitimate and valid reasons for these laws because the public perception in some quarters is that.
This is about suppressing certain groups of people from being able about.
Well with the that's foolish in the history of these log shows that not to be true.
Georgia and Indiana had photo ID laws in place for more than five years they've had numerous elections is not suppress the votes.
Minorities is not suppress the votes of Democrats.
Look Indiana in 2008 had a photo ID law in place for the first time guess who won that state it was Barack Obama he was the first Democrat to in the state.
It's -- like thirty years and she should stick to Hollywood she apparently did know that if you wanted to get your credentials that the Democratic National Convention where she spoke he had to have a government issued photo ID.
Touche I will leave it there and -- and let this Washington responded take it up with you -- and carry our.
Thank you so much we appreciate your insights and I'm very interesting book a lot of interest -- thank you are.
