Amazon Makes Debut In India Through Junglee.Com: What It Means For Buyers, Sellers, And Competitors
Posted by Manish Bahl on February 27, 2012
In early February 2011, Amazon launched Junglee.Com as a marketplace in India. In 1998, Amazon had acquired Junglee (which means "wild" in English), an online virtual database-making company, and after 13 years now it has shown its affection to the "Junglee" domain name. The reason is that Amazon can't sell directly in India due to FDI laws that restrict foreign companies on multibrand retail in the country. Nevertheless, the Indian law does allow foreign players to operate as an online marketplace to connect sellers and buyers with each other. Amazon is following this approach by partnering with both online (Snapdeal, Univercell, etc.) and offline (HomeShop18, Bombay Store, etc.) players in the country before it makes a full-fledged entry through an "Amazon.in"-type domain. Also, Amazon just received the Indian Government's FDI approval to set up a logistics operation. The company plans to invest INR 15 crore (around US$ 3.06 million) to set up a wholly owned subsidiary to undertake the business of online marketplace operator and retailer inter-alia courier services.
Let's look at what Amazon's entry through Junglee.com means for online buyers, suppliers, and competitors:
Sellers: More Business And Some Risk
For suppliers, especially small size, it is an opportunity to drive sales through Junglee.com and win customer loyalty. If Amazon can redirect all its India traffic from Amazon.com to Junglee, there will be a significant movement on Junglee that will generate substantial sales opportunities. Over the period, Junglee will start providing ratings and reviews on suppliers, which means that players with quality products, timely delivery, friendliness, and good after-service will reap more benefits than who fail to do so. Once Junglee gets popular and starts driving more traffic, it will decide on which seller to appear as default for buyers. Thus, suppliers should be ready to work per asked conditions once Junglee has built its space in the market.
Competitors: Don't Get Distracted; Stay Focused On Customers
Through Junglee, Amazon is preparing itself for future competition, especially from domestic players such as Flipkart.com and Infibeam, among others. Once the FDI issue is resolved (sooner or later it will be), Amazon will make a full-fledged entry with multibrand retail products. Existing players shouldn't get distracted with the Amazon/Junglee combination and should focus on:
- Energies on what they do best – selling.
- Retaining current customers as a solid base of repeat buyers, which will deliver long-term benefits.
- Expanding the delivery network and improving their existing technology platform as providing fast, simple, but effective online information to consumers will be the key.
- Securing funding for future expansion and looking for strategic acquisitions (like Flipkart acquiring Letsbuy.com is the right move) to broaden their customer and product base along with improving the user interface.
Buyers: All Party At No Cost
Increasing competition and a bid to win more customers have put Indian consumers in a favorable spot. Every player in the market will be coming up with new and innovative products and approaches to lure buyers, who will have the option of cherry-picking the coolest, cheapest, and best product. Once the multibrand retail FDI issue is addressed in India, we will see increased competition in the market, which means online buyers will gain the maximum from both a quality and a price perspective.
Conclusion: The Race Is Just Started, But Players Will Have To Innovate Faster
There is no definite leader in the Indian eCommerce market, as the race has just started. Forrester estimates that there are 65 to 70 million people accessing the Internet regularly in the country, and with more population starting to use the Internet and with the usage of smart phones, debit, and credit cards rising so quickly, there are tremendous opportunities in the market. This is the period of learning: While Amazon is learning Indian consumer behavior, logistic issues, and ways to improve its system in India, homegrown players are learning in great deal about customer focus. I expect a number of eCommerce startups to emerge in India, but companies that invest in "innovation," both from a business as well as from a technology perspective, will gain the maximum, as the next five to seven years will be an exciting period for the Indian online retail industry.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A big, bold, ripe wine with firm tannins and dark, solid fruits. The wine has acidity coming from the black currant flavors. Continuing the impressive quality of wines from La Gaffeli?re, it has weight and a rich feel to it, along with a tight, mineral final texture. This is a wine that is elegant..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 is a wine to stockpile, especially for those in their thirties and forties as it needs another decade to reach maturity, after which it should keep for 30+ years. This vineyard, just south of Mouton Rothschild, has produced an opaque bluish/purple-colored 2006 with an extraordinarily pure..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "It could be easy, after tasting the monumental 2005, to dismiss the 2006 Troplong Mondot, but don't be so foolish. Proprietress Christine Valette has turned out another exceptional performance... the 2006 Troplong Mondot is an impressive, powerful, broad, surprisingly masculine and deep effort...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A dark ruby (but not opaque) color is followed by aromas of sweet raspberries and black currants with dusty, earthy, loamy soil notes in the background."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 is similar to the 1996 Branaire, but with sweeter fruit. Coats the palate with beautiful purity, no hard edges, ripe tannin, and intense fruit. This elegant, layered, impressive offering will be at its peak between 2012-2025."
Cellar/Tasting Notes JS: "This is very concentrated with dried pineapple, honey and caramel. Full-bodied and superdense. Like honey. Massive. This is fantastic. From the former head and part owner of Yquem."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the stars of the vintage, this blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot reveals sweet burning ember, charcoal, barbecue smoke, black currant, plum, and graphite notes. This opulent, impressively endowed, medium to full-bodied 2007 possesses..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 is relatively forward and seductive, as one expects La Conseillante to be, with a dark ruby/purple-tinged color and a beautifully sweet nose of black raspberries, plums, kirsch, cedar, and licorice. A broad, savory, seductive, full-bodied mouthfeel with superb ripeness, silky tannins, and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This classic, backward, tannic St.-Julien is made in the style of the 1996 and 1986. The 2006 Ducru Beaucaillou possesses a dense purple color along with a sweet perfume of graphite, black raspberries, cassis, licorice, and subtle toasty oak. Despite their prominent place in the wine's..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dense purple-colored 2006 boasts an extraordinary perfume of lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, burning embers, and a sensation that can only be described as like walking through a damp forest on a hot, humid day. Full-bodied, extraordinarily textured, and multidimensional with an..

By anyone's measure*, it is no small feat, raising six children. But somehow, with the help of an army of tutors, nannies, chefs and private transportation (the kind with tinted windows or that fly), Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are a well-documented success story.
Still, you have to wonder how much it really costs. The answer, according to Bonnie Fuller's HollyBaby, who credits In Touch magazine, is an awesome figure. "They spend about $10 million a year on the kids."
Or it should be. But for some perspective, last week Jolie signed a $10 million contract with Louis Vuitton. Following past Vuitton beauties such as Madonna and Jennifer Lopez, the 35-year-old mom will appear in a series of print ads this summer, photographed by the brilliant Annie Leibovitz.
Jolie landed at No. 18 on the 2010 Forbes Celebrity 100 Power List, with a salary of $20 million and 38 magazine covers. Pitt followed at No. 30, also banking $20 million.
Let's do the math and compare the Jolie-Pitts to an average U.S. household. The celebrity couple earned $40 million last year and allegedly spent 25% on "child-rearing." That includes food, transportation, health care, children's clothing, child care and education and miscellaneous goods and services.
In 2009 figures from the USDA, on average, two-parent, two-child households in the lowest income group (less than $56.6K) spent 25% of their before-tax income on kids; those in the middle-income group (up to $98K) spent 16%; and those in the highest group (above $98K), 12%.
Jolie and Pitt are not, relatively speaking, spending an outsize amount on their children. They supposedly pay out the same as what 65% of Americans would. (See, they are Just Like Us!) And 2x what the highest income bracket in the U.S. drops–on 3x as many kids.
If you consider that there are six minds to educate, six mouths to feed, six bodies to clothe and move around the globe, etc., let's give Brangelina some credit. In an over-the-top, annoying kind of way, of course.
To understand exactly how $10 mil fits into the lives of Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 4 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 2, refer to this annual budget, as shared by HollyBaby:
*except for Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.
Of course, tabloid In Touch, tabloid blogger Bonnie Fuller, and an unnamed anonymous source are totally reliable – NOT. Try giving 2 named, reliable sources from mainstream media.
Angelina Jolie was donating millions to UNHCR and charities before she adopted Maddox. There are many more celebrities who give nothing to charities and give no excuses at all – Brad/Angelina could do the same. They give because they're humanitarians.
And do the math: the Jolie-Pitts don't hire cars EVERY day, or charter boats or rent zoos for every birthday. IF they spent $500,000 on the Waldorf on one stay, it doesn't mean they spend that on every hotel (plus they don't mention how many rooms for how many people).

text: 7 Savory Aphrodisiacs by POPSUGAR Food 2/06/09 2 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 Since there are few things in the world more sensual than the act of eating, it's logical that the world has a bevy of foods purported to have pleasure-enhancing properties. You may know that vanilla, with its musky scent, is a common aphrodisiac; so is the fertile-looking fig. But what about the other end of the spectrum? When it comes to savory foods, there's a whole other world of erogenous opportunity. Read on to learn more. Source Asparagus What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This vegetable has spanned cultures and eras as a secret weapon for seduction. In the 1800s, French grooms were served three courses of asparagus the night before the wedding. As if its phallic stalk weren't enough, traditional Indian medicine suggests asparagus increases circulation in, ahem, certain areas. Source: Getty 1 / 7 Oysters What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 These raw bivalves are perhaps the most famous savory aphrodisiac. Numerous scientific studies claim that oysters are libido-enhancing because they increase testosterone and trigger sex hormones. Even if you're one to be skeptical of the scientific claims, simply slurp one of the soft, slippery mollusks, and you'll know what everyone's been talking about. 2 / 7 Chocolate What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 America's favorite food, chocolate, is a key component in savory entrées from dry rubs to mole dishes. Not only is cocoa delicious, but it also aids in arousal and produces endorphins. Ask the Aztecs; they consumed copious amounts of ground cocoa before acts of consummation. 3 / 7 Artichokes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Maybe it's the act of stripping a vegetable of all its leaves. Or perhaps it's the fact that deep in the center lies a tender heart. Whatever the reason, artichokes have always been considered a love-inducing vegetable. Catherine de Medici, a fan of the vegetable's enhancing qualities, fed copious amounts of artichoke to her husband, King Henry IV. 4 / 7 Onions What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you think tears are the only reaction you'll get from onions, think again. Some Arabs and Hindus consider onions to be such libido-boosters that monks were once banned from eating them. Source: Getty 6 / 7 Arugula What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The pungent salad green known as arugula, was first documented as an aphrodisiac nearly 2,000 years ago. Even its scientific name, Eruca sativa, has an erotic ring to it. 6 / 7 Avocados What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It is true that the avocado has traditionally been considered a remedy for male dysfunction: The Mayans and Aztecs also used avocado as a libido booster. And according to the California Avocado Commission, the belief still stands in modern times, as 60 percent of people in a 2000 survey believed avocados are good for one's love life. 7 / 7 0 0 0 0 0 Read More Savory AphrodisiacsSlideshowAphrodisiacsRomanticValentines Day Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

March/April 2013
Probably, the most important prevention study at CROI 2013 came from a study in 16 macaque monkeys.
Half these animals were given a long-acting formulation of an integrase inhibitor and all were protected from SHIV infection, following multiple rectal exposures, compared to none of the control animals.
This was an oral late breaker abstract presented by Chastity Andrews and colleagues at the Aaron Diamond Institute, in association with GSK, with the research funded by a public grant from the U.S. NIAID.1
The macaque study at CROI included 16 animals, randomised half the animals to two cycles of intramuscular injections of 50 mg/kg GSK 744 LAP, dosed on weeks -1 and 3 (with the monthly dose based on a shorter half-life compared to human PK). Each cycle involved two injections into each quadrecept. Animals were challenged rectally with SHIV162P3 at week 0 and then weekly for up to eight weeks, or until infection was confirmed by real time PCR.
All 8 animals receiving active drug were protected throughout the 8 weeks and during subsequent 10 weeks follow-up in contrast to control animals who became infected following 1-7 challenges (median 2 challenges), p<0.0001. Proviral DNA in PBMCs and virus specific antibodies were only detected in the infected animals.
Plasma concentrations of GSK-744LAP were variable but remained more than four-fold above the IC90 level for all animals for 6/8 weeks but dropped to below the IC90 level in two animals for the last two weeks. These data were comparable to human results using an 800 mg injection.
These first efficacy results in macaques are similar to those seen with tenofovir/FTC more than 12 years ago, which had a similarly high level of protection from rectal exposure. Crucially, the compound has the potential for monthly or perhaps quarterly injections -- overcoming the considerably reduced effectiveness of daily oral PrEP due to intermittent adherence. Similarly, the low active dose and more effective and targeted drug delivery has the potential to dramatically reduce concerns about toxicity, treatment cost and perhaps drug resistance.
Given the experience learned from studies using oral PrEP, the timeline for development should be shorter than was required for tenofovir/FTC and could offer a safer setting for non-inferiority prevention studies, enabling all participants to receive potentially active interventions.
Public funding for this research should be matched by an affordable access price to the final compound if it is proved to be effective.

Fished it Sunday afternoon from 3pm till 8pm.Word at the bait store was basser's trolling the dam were picking up walleye instead.This was before our recent cold front and the resulting 3 inches of rain.She tell's me the average walleye runs 20 inches. This intrigues me.I launched at the southern end of the lake and that was a mistake.We get out on the main lake and the wind is howling and the water is choppy. Not a good combination when fishing out of the Coleman Crawdad!We started out live baiting for crappie and perch in a cove to no avail.We decide to try and make a run to the north end of the lake to check some bluegill beds but my daughter was getting drenched from spray coming over the bow.So we took a break in the truck to warm up, grab a bite to eat,and rethink the situation.It was brutal out there today!By this time it was pushing 6pm. We abandon the live bait rigs and start tossing shallow divers.We worked some points and banks that had been recieving sunshine all day.This paid off and we started picking up some small bass.Hey at least we didn't get skunked.

Plot Summary:
With a signature blend of action, humor and character-based spectacle, the saga of the world's toughest, kitten-loving hero from Hell continues to unfold in "Hellboy II: The Golden Army." Bigger muscle, badder weapons and more ungodly villains arrive in an epic vision of imagination from Oscar�-nominated director Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth," "Hellboy").
After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it's up to the planet's toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it's time to call in Hellboy (Ron Perlman).
Along with his expanding team in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development--pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), aquatic empath Abe (Doug Jones) and protoplasmic mystic Johann--the BPRD will travel between the surface strata and the unseen magical one, where creatures of fantasy become corporeal. And Hellboy, a creature of two worlds who's accepted by neither, must choose between the life he knows and an unknown destiny that beckons him.

Question for a guru
I have a question for ya'll. I know the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did Mr. Bojangles, but I was wondering if Skynyrd ever did a rendition. I know they never released it on an album, but I recently got an e-mail from a friend that had an mp3 in it titled "bojangles-this one's by Skynyrd" it sounds like Skynyrd but I am no expert, so I figured Iwould ask the guru(s).

Equal Employment Opportunity:
The Policy Framework in the Federal Workplace and the Roles of EEOC and OPM
GAO-05-195: Published: Apr 29, 2005. Publicly Released: May 10, 2005.

The federal government has created a framework to provide for EEO by prohibiting unlawful discrimination based on such factors as race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, and disability, and offers redress when discrimination and retaliation have occurred. To further EEO and help bring about a diverse workforce, federal agencies are required to carry out affirmative employment and minority recruitment programs. EEOC and OPM have primary responsibility for ensuring that the government's policies for a fair, equitable, and inclusive workplace are carried out. In response to a congressional request that GAO provide information on the federal government's performance in promoting EEO and managing its diverse workforce, this report provides information on (1) the statutory and policy framework relating to EEO, affirmative employment, and workforce diversity and (2) the roles and responsibilities of EEOC and OPM within the framework and how these agencies carry out these roles and responsibilities.
Various statutes, executive orders, and other executive policy form the framework of EEO policy that governs civil rights and personnel management in the federal workplace. In 1972 federal workers received statutory civil rights protections when Congress passed the Equal Employment Opportunity Act, which extended to federal workers protections under title VII of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibiting employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, or national origin. The 1972 act also required federal agencies to establish affirmative employment programs to address the underrepresentation of minorities and women in the federal workforce. In 1973 federal employees and applicants for employment with disabilities received employment discrimination protections under the Rehabilitation Act, and federal agencies were required to prepare affirmative employment program plans for the hiring, placement, and advancement of such individuals. The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 further underscored the government's commitment to EEO, stating that for the federal workforce to reflect the nation's diversity, federal personnel management should follow merit principles by treating employees fairly and equitably, and that personnel actions should be free from prohibited personnel practices, including discrimination. The 1978 act also required agencies to conduct a continuing recruiting program to address minority underrepresentation. Other statutes, executive orders, and executive policy are also part of the federal workplace EEO policy framework. EEOC and OPM each play important leadership roles within this framework in ensuring EEO in the federal workplace. EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting discrimination and oversees federal agencies' EEO programs, including their affirmative employment programs. OPM is the government's human capital manager and is responsible for ensuring that personnel management functions follow the merit principles, including those related to EEO. OPM is to assist agencies in carrying out their minority recruitment programs and evaluating the effectiveness of these programs in eliminating minority underrepresentation. EEOC and OPM issue regulations and directives to carry out their responsibilities and exercise oversight by reviewing federal workforce demographic data; reviewing reports from agencies on their progress in meeting program requirements; conducting on-site reviews at federal agencies; and providing technical assistance, training, and guidance. In addition, both agencies publish annual reports on program activities and workforce demographics. Although responsibility for ensuring that EEO is shared among agencies, EEOC has also been charged under statute and executive order with providing leadership and coordination to promote efficiency and eliminate conflict, competition, duplication, and inconsistency. We provided OPM and EEOC with a draft of this report for their review and comment. OPM said that, in general, the report accurately reflects OPM's current roles and responsibilities. We clarified the report in response to EEOC's comments to indicate that this report focuses on affirmative employment and that we previously reported on EEOC's complaint process responsibilities.

U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu has finalized a $150 million loan guarantee to 1366 Technologies, Inc. for the development of a multicrystalline wafer manufacturing project that could drive down the costs of solar manufacturing, making solar a more viable energy option.
The project will be capable of producing approximately 700 to 1,000 megawatts (MW) of silicon-based wafers annually using a revolutionary manufacturing process called Direct Wafer.
This process could reduce manufacturing costs of the wafers by approximately 50%, dramatically cutting the cost of solar power. Phase 1 of the project will be located in Lexington, Massachusetts and is expected to fund 70 permanent jobs and 50 construction jobs. The company is evaluating site locations for another planned phase, which they anticipate will fund hundreds of additional jobs.
"This project is a good example of how investments in American innovation can create jobs and make our manufacturing industry more competitive," says Secretary Chu. "This type of pioneering technology is needed to compete and thrive in the global race for solar manufacturing, a market worth billions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs in the years ahead."
The innovative manufacturing process reduces four separate manufacturing steps into a single, low cost continuous process and greatly reduces silicon waste by forming individual wafers directly from a bath of molten silicon.
A thin sheet of silicon freezes inside the direct wafer furnace and is then removed and laser-trimmed to size.
At full production, the entire wafer formation process is completed in just 25 seconds when compared to conventional batch processing, which can take up to three days. The company's revolutionary one-step process requires 90% less energy and results in an industry-standard product that can be used by multicrystalline cell manufacturers.

Ronald Reagan's eldest son Mike Reagan has issued a statement lambasting Mitt Romney and his supporters for claims that Romney's Republican presidential rival Newt Gingrich was a strong critic of President Reagan.
Reagan says such claims are false.
Even Rush Limbaugh, shocked by the Romney claims, chimed on his Thursday radio broadcast to say "This is obviously a coordinated attack to take Newt out here in Florida."
Rush slammed the Romney-backed smear campaign against Newt.
"That kind of stuff is why people hate Romney so much," Limbaugh said.
Limbaugh added that Newt has always been a conservative from his early days in national talk radio in the 1980s.
"He was perhaps the premier defender of Ronald Reagan," Limbaugh said.

On Thursday, Mike Reagan, a respected conservative commentator, responded to the Gingrich critics with this statement to Newsmax: "I am deeply disturbed that supporters of Mitt Romney are claiming that Newt Gingrich is not a true Reaganite and are even claiming that Newt was a strong critic of my father.
"Recently I endorsed Newt Gingrich for president because I believe that Newt is the only Republican candidate who has both consistently backed the conservative policies that my father championed and the only Republican that will continue to implement his vision.
"As governor of Massachusetts, Romney's achievement was the most socialistic healthcare plan in the nation up until that time.
"Say what you want about Newt Gingrich but when he was Speaker of the House he surrounded himself with Reagan conservatives and implemented a Ronald Reagan program of low taxes and restrained federal spending.
"Newt's conservative program created a huge economic boom and balanced the budget for the first time in more than a generation."
Mike Reagan concluded: "I would take Newt Gingrich's record any day over Mitt Romney's."
And Nancy Reagan, Reagan's wife, has stressed Gingrich's close relationship with her late husband.
In a 1995 speech at a dinner honoring Ronald Reagan, Nancy said: "The dramatic movement of 1995 is an outgrowth of a much earlier crusade that goes back half a century. Barry Goldwater handed the torch to Ronnie, and in turn Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt and the Republican members of Congress to keep that dream alive."

Darkness falls…despair abounds…evil reigns…Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix, cruel ruler of the Empire. Now Eragon must travel to Ellesmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship. Soon he is on the journey of a lifetime, his eyes open to awe-inspring new places and people, his days filled with fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and nothing is what it seems. Before long, Eragon doesn't know whom he can trust.
Meanwhile, his cousin Roran must fight a new battle–one that might put Eragon in even graver danger.
Will the king's dark hand strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life. . . .
Praise for Eragon:
"Unusual, powerful . . . fresh and fluid. An impressive start to a writing career that's sure to flourish." –Booklist, Starred
"Christopher Paolini make[s] literary magic with his precocious debut." –People
"The new 'It' book of children's lit." –U.S. News & World Report

The Council of EldersSaphira's breathing quickened, and she opened her eyes, yawning expansively. Good morning, little one.
Is it? He looked down and leaned on his hands, compressing the mattress. It's terrible . . . Murtagh and Ajihad . . . Why didn't sentries in the tunnels warn us of the Urgals? They shouldn't have been able to trail Ajihad's group without being noticed. . . . Arya was right, it doesn't make sense.
We may never know the truth, said Saphira gently. She stood, wings brushing the ceiling. You need to eat, then we must discover what the Varden are planning. We can't waste time; a new leader could be chosen within hours.
Eragon agreed, thinking of how they had left everyone yesterday: Orik rushing off to give King Hrothgar the tidings, Jörmundur taking Ajihad's body to a place where it would rest until the funeral, and Arya, who stood alone and watched the goings-on.
Eragon rose and strapped on Zar'roc and his bow, then bent and lifted Snowfire's saddle. A line of pain sheared through his torso, driving him to the floor, where he writhed, scrabbling at his back. It felt like he was being sawed in half. Saphira growled as the ripping sensation reached her. She tried to soothe him with her own mind but was unable to alleviate his suffering. Her tail instinctually lifted, as if to fight.
It took minutes before the fit subsided and the last throb faded away, leaving Eragon gasping. Sweat drenched his face, making his hair stick and his eyes sting. He reached back and gingerly fingered the top of his scar. It was hot and inflamed and sensitive to touch. Saphira lowered her nose and touched him on the arm. Oh, little one. . . .
It was worse this time, he said, staggering upright. She let him lean against her as he wiped away the sweat with a rag, then he tentatively stepped for the door.
Are you strong enough to go?
We have to. We're obliged as dragon and Rider to make a public choice regarding the next head of the Varden, and perhaps even influence the selection. I won't ignore the strength of our position; we now wield great authority written the Varden. At least the Twins aren't here to grab the position for themselves. That's the only good in the situation.
Very well, but Durza should suffer a thousand years of torture for what he did to you.
He grunted. Just stay close to me.
Together they made their way through Tronjheim, toward the nearest kitchen. In the corridors and hallways, people stopped and bowed to them, murmuring, "Argetlam," or "Shadeslayer." Even dwarves made the motions, though not as often. Eragon was struck by the somber, haunted expressions of the humans and the dark clothing they wore to display their sadness. Many women dressed entirely in black, lace veils covering their faces.
In the kitchen, Eragon brought a stone platter of food to a low table. Saphira watched him carefully in case he should have another attack. Several people tried to approach him, but she lifted a lip and growled sending them scurrying away. Eragon pretended to ignore the disturbances and picked at the food. Finally, trying to divert his thoughts from Murtagh, he asked, Who do you think has the means to take control of the Varden, now that Ajihad and the Twins are gone?
She hesitated. It's possible you could, if Ajihad's last words were interpreted as a blessing to secure the leadership. Almost no one would oppose you. However, that does not seem a wise path to take. I see only trouble in that direction.
I agree. Besides, Arya wouldn't approve, and she could be a dangerous enemy. Elves can't lie in the ancient language, but they have no such inhibition in ours-she could deny that Ajihad ever uttered those words if it served her purposes. No, I don't want the position. . . . What about Jörmundur?
Ajihad called him his right-hand man. Unfortunately, we know little about him or the Varden's other leaders. Such a short time has passed since we came here. We will have to make our judgment on our feelings and impressions, without the benefit of history.
Eragon pushed his fish around a lump of mashed tubers. Don't forget Hrothgar and the dwarf clans; they won't be quiet in this. Except for Arya, the elves have no say in the succession-a decision will be made before word of this even reaches them. But the dwarves can't be-won't be-ignored. Hrothgar favors the Varden, but if enough clans oppose him, he might be maneuvered into backing someone unsuited for the command.
And who might that be?
A person easily manipulated. He closed his eyes and leaned back. It could be anyone in Farthen Dûr, anyone at all.

The Ferrari-Inspired Brunopasso PD-1 Espresso Machine
I like sports cars, and I LOVE coffee, but I admit I totally don't get why the two seem to get combined so frequently. First we had this Lamborghini-inspired espresso machine and now, from Brunopasso, the PD-1 machine was created with Italian sports cars in mind. Of course there aren't many ways a coffee machine can look like a Ferrari, except of course a shiny red paint job (among other choices), automobile-inspired gauges that form a little mini-dashboard, and a lever made of beechwood for pressing the coffee. $850

Wax figures
Talk0this wiki
Redirected from Wax Figures
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[Source] |
The wax figures are cursed statues made of wax, that come to life at night whenever the moon is waxing. They seek revenge on Stan for locking them away.
Many years before the events of Gravity Falls, Stanford Pines came across the figures at a yard sale. Not wanting to pay the full price of twenty dollars, he decided to steal them, and then opened a wax museum. For a time, the figures were a star attraction at the Mystery Shack, and they led happy lives during the night. However, when tourists lost interest in them and stopped coming, Stan put the figures into storage for ten years, and the figures began to crave revenge.
In "Headhunters," Soos stumbles upon the door to the storage room and soon shows it to Dipper and Mabel. There they encounter Stan, who shows them the figures. Upon seeing a melted wax Abraham Lincoln, Mabel decides to build a sculpture of Stan to replace it. After the real Stan leaves momentarily to use the bathroom while he is watching television with his wax counterpart, Wax Sherlock Holmes comes to try to avenge himself and the other figures by decapitating Stan, but ends up beheading the wax version. After the twins' search for Wax Stan's "murderer" and at the statue's funeral, they come to the conclusion that it was the other figures.
The figures then sarcastically and condescendingly congratulate them for solving the case, and they proceed to tell the children their back story. Then, they decide to try and kill the Pines twins and their uncle, and the battle to the death begins. After the kids stumble upon their foes' weakness (heat), they use coffee and candles to melt their enemies. While Mabel takes on the majority of them, Dipper engages in a one-on-one sword fight with their leader, Sherlock Holmes, whom he defeats by leading outside in the sun. Meanwhile, Mabel burns all the wax figures, except Larry King's head, in the fireplace. The head observes the Pines as he hides in the vents, and soon must chase after a rat that steals his ear. In the credits, he is seen helping Mabel choose which sweater to wear.
In "The Time Traveler's Pig," the figures can be seen when the twins travel back in time to the grand unveiling of Wax Stan.
List of wax figures
Wax Sherlock Holmes
Wax Sherlock Holmes appears to be the leader of the group. He fights with Dipper in the Mystery Shack and eventually on the roof. He killed Wax Stan—even though Wax Stan wasn't alive in the first place—by decapitation. He melts when exposed to the rising sun. He is based on the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, and is voiced by John Oliver.
Wax Larry King
When discovered, Grunkle Stan called Wax Larry King a "goblin man" because he didn't know who he really was. When Wax Larry King attacks the twins, his head is cut off his body and falls into a vent, where a rat bites off his ear. Later, he hops in the vent near the attic and answers Mabel's question, saying that the llama hair sweater would be better, as llamas are "nature's greatest warriors." He is also mentioned in the coded message in the credits which, when decoded, says "HE'S STILL IN THE VENTS." He is based on and voiced by the TV host Larry King.
Wax Coolio
Wax Coolio assaults Dipper and Mabel along with the wax figures. Later, Mabel uses his head to hit the other wax figures when they are surrounding her. Wax Coolio is based on and voiced by the rapper, Coolio.
Wax Richard Nixon
Wax Richard Nixon is based on the 37th President of the United States of America, Richard Nixon. He is seen doing his V for victory sign. In the flashback scene, he stands with Wax Queen Elizabeth as they drink water/soda.
Wax Abraham Lincoln
Wax Abraham Lincoln melted in the storage room because of exposure to sunlight from a window with open blinds. Mabel volunteered to create a new statue to replace it. He is based on the 16th President of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln.
Wax John Wilkes Booth
Wax John Wilkes Boothe is accused by Grunkle Stan of leaving the blinds open, which melted Wax Abraham Lincoln. He is based on Abraham Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth.
Wax Groucho Marx
After attacking the twins, Wax Groucho is sliced in half by Dipper and makes his final joke before falling apart. He asks why there is nothing in his hand as he is iconically known for holding a cigar. He is based on the famous comedian Groucho Marx who was a part of the famous silent comedic act known as The Marx Brothers.Wax William Shakespeare
Wax William Shakespeare's arms are melted off by Mabel, but one of them puts her in a headlock. While in the headlock, Mabel opens a door and jams it on the arms, so she could attack the other wax figures. After the battle is over, Mabel tosses his head into a fire while it recites poetry. He is based on the world-famous playwright William Shakespeare.
"Though our group be left in twain, man of wax shall rise again!" |
Wax Genghis Khan
Wax Genghis Khan is seen holding a sword when the wax figures are advancing towards Dipper and Mabel.Wax Genghis Khan unlike other wax figures, his is the biggest and the strongest wax figures in the group. His face melts when Dipper splashes coffee on it. Later, he gets lured into the fireplace by Dipper, and Dipper makes a joke after he lured him in. He is based on the Mongol Empire emperor Genghis Khan.
Wax Lizzie Borden
Wax Lizzie Borden is based on the axe murderer Lizzie Borden. In the fighting scene, she is seen with Wax Robin Hood running towards Mabel to kill her. When she swings her axe where Mabel is, she accidentally cuts off Wax Robin Hood's head. Her axe was the weapon Wax Sherlock Holmes used to behead Wax Stan.
Wax Queen Elizabeth II
Wax Queen Elizabeth II is based on the Commonwealth monarch, and English queen Queen Elizabeth II. At one part of the flashback scene, she and Wax Richard Nixon can be seen drinking a beverage.
Wax Robin Hood
Wax Robin Hood was seen trying to grab Mabel along with Wax Lizzie Borden. She later accidentally cuts his head off when she tried to swing the axe at Mabel. He is based on heroic fictional outlaw, Robin Hood.
Wax Thomas Edison
Wax Thomas Edison appears in the room when it was first discovered, and shortly in the background right before the fight scene. He is based on the American inventor, Thomas Edison.
Wax Edgar Allen Poe
Wax Edgar Allen Poe was first seen in the fight scene. He was one of the wax figures that got slapped in the face by Mabel by using wax Coolio's head. During the flashback scene, he and Wax Sherlock Holmes were taking funny pictures of Grunkle Stan. But when Grunkle Stan woke up they revert to their original form. After Grunkle Stan goes to sleep, they proceed taking funny pictures of him. He is based on famous author, Edgar Allen Poe.
The figures possess some of the same personality traits as their namesakes, although they have many in common with each other. They enjoy hanging out during the night, and, after Stan locked them away, they waited ten years just to seek vengeance on him. When Soos finds them, they come to life once again and attempt to murder Stan, but accidentally decapitate the wax replica of him instead. When Dipper and Mabel discover their supernatural nature, they duel them to the death.
Each wax figure resembles a famous figure or a character from history, literature or show business. Thus, they vary greatly in appearance from each other.
