I am pretty much single handedly planning my cousin's August wedding...and came across this pic of a decorated ceiling..and want to recreate it for the reception. I've already purchased a TON of tulle..and have a ton of white lights as well. My question is this...what is the best way to put it all together?? How do I make it look ike this?? What will i use in the centre?? How do I attach it to the ceiling?? We are allowed to use tape, tacks, staples and small nails in the hall...but which will I use??
Any help greatly appreciated,
:) Mel

She had a beautiful sage green which matched the bridesmaid dress and then for flowers she had a rust colored calla lilies it was very pretty she used a tulle type fabric and they were very nice. Sorry it is a little dark but this is what they did.
Taht is what they did on the chairs at DS wedding and they looked very nice. DIL made them and she also made table runners to go over the white cloths and it was very pretty. I think the ceiling is going to be way to much work that is why the hall that DS#2 had left it up once it was there and it was used by many weddings.
Hi Mel,
I am just on a break from packing I move tomorrow... but here are a few ideas, Ok I know your said your using white table linens make sure the table cloth reaches to the floor it gives a much better look to the table than if its a short table cloth. If you can get them get white chair covers and you can get the ties to go around them in both pink and brown alternating them this will give that bit of colour to the table that you are looking for. I swear chair covers are the thing that make an event look professionally done vs. homemade I don't know why but it really does put the finishing touch on the room.
In regards to all the tulle you have purchased there are a few things you can do, you can dress the head table and cake table with it use it like bunting, and then add white lights in wit it. Ok I know you want to do the ceiling the only thing I can think of and this is the first time in my life i am hoping for this but does that hall have a drop ceiling, because if it does you can use the T bars to hold up the fabric just pop the ceiling tile out and feed the tulle up though it and all you will see is one little metal bar. Does that make sense????
I have done some event planning over the years and the tuille to the middle of the room is hard to pull off if you haven't done it before. I too hire it out to the professionals. The rod idea is simpler with a great effect. Use hooks to suspend from the ceiling. Tape, staples etc. will not hold the weight. It will be heavier than you would think and the safetly factor is a concern.
Didn't read all the posts but if she loves chocolate how about a chocolate fountain?
Pearl...she already looks like that :D
To add some sparkle to the tables maybe a mirror with the votives like this one. or small mirrors with 1 votive on each available at most Dollar Stores.
The pebbles are nice too and you could float flowers with them.
I am afraid you may look like the icon taking on this tulle ceiling decorating in a short time.
Mel by the end of the weekend I will have a list of great ideas for you to do your self to transform your church hall in to something amazing.
I just have a few questions... Colours that will be used, is there a theme, what is the brides fav flower, and can you use candles in the hall?
:p :p :p
I dont want it to seem like your bound to fail, its just a lot of fabric and a lot of time to get it up and back down. You will need a cherry picker i dont think you can get this job done with a normal lader, I have never been able to, you need to get a trusing system for it to really work, you can rent them from a party decor place. It takes a team of people to get this job done it will take more than a day to get it up. I always hire a decore company to come in and do stuff like this for me. I design the event and they make it happen for me.
ummm why are you back? :D
Well, I can tell you from many years experience in wedding planning that its hard to do that treatment, and you may or may not be alowed to put nails, stapels or event tape on the walls of the banquet hall.
Mel, maybe the hall will have a hook or something in the middle of the ceiling for you to attach the tulle to. Make sure that there is no chandelier in the middle of the room and the tulle getting too close to the lights.
Also make sure that it is holding on really taut or you will be in big trouble if this thing collapses and there are burning candles in the room....just make sure everything is safe for everyone's sake. Good luck with your project.
Mel76, the second photo you posted seems like it would be an easier style to work with. It looks like the only real difference is that it uses two rods as the central draping point instead of a circle from your original idea.
Personally, I'd go with the rod idea because you'll waste less tulle length. (You'd have to suspend your ring and then bunch up and tie it off under the ring so you don't see a 'hole' in the middle)
The rest would work the same, with draping the tulle and stapling it to the walls.
Working with one rod with 20 feet of draped tulle at a time might be less of a headache for you and hopefully easier to attach.
Good luck wit it!
you can do it Mel i know you can...it's all in the planning and prepping just like cooking
They had similar at DS#2 wedding they didn't put it up it was left from another function and asked if it could be left there. They didn't have it solid it was in bands of tulle. (does that make sence) They had one width of tulle with lights in it and then a space and another width. It looked very nice and they had it from one side of the hall to the other and stapled in the center. Each width of tulle was crosed over the other. Oh God this sounds to stupid. Ok they started in one corner went to the oppisite corner and made an X and then they made a + over the X. I hope you can understand what I am trying to say. :hairpull:
This may be a better solution for the ceiling in that rectangular room with the clear mini lights.
This is a BIG undertaking to get it right. I would for sure lay it all out somewhere the apprx. size of the ceiling you will be covering. Think of a hula hoop for the centre. It is light weight , strong and could be installed and suspended quite easily from the ceiling center with wire.
You would have to cut lengths of tulle and gather one end very tightly together and sew onto a cotton tape at least 1" wide. Then attach to the hoop. Of course the lengths will change as you adjust for the 25'x 50' rectangle shape of the ceiling. You will be limited to the number of gathered lengths that will fit aound the hoop.
So think 36:" wide tulle gatheres up to about 3" at the hoop end. So you measure the hoop circumference and divide by 3" as this will give you the number of lengths the hoops will hold. So say the hoop is 60" around divide by 3" = 20 lengths of tulle. Now will the 36" width at the wall end be enough to cover a 25" x 50" room ? Sketch it out on paper as you will have various pie-shapes.
BIG undertaking.......do you have a plan B ? :)
a pole burn????????????
Hey I heard that there's a new type of exercising out there --- and it involves a pole and dance moves. Should I sign us all up? I'll make sure our class is after we polish off all the wine and snackies at my house first!! Have a nice weekend, girls!
I've never made a ceiling treatment before but, it looks like it's about 5 or 6 BOLTS of tulle gathered on a ring. Think like a circular curtain rod. It'll need to be a rigid form to hang from the ceiling. It doesn't have to be metal and done rod-pocket style, you could use a styrofoam ring form and just staple it onto the ring. That will be more tricky getting an even gather effect, so if you don't mind sewing a straight, but very long line, go with the rod pocket. You could try using an embroidery hoop since they come in many sizes and have an open end for slipping the pocket onto. Simply elasticizing it will leave it drooping from the sides unless you use about 360 staples to attach the elastic ring.
Staples will have to be used to secure the free ends of the tulle to the walls. Tape won't hold for long and tacks will pull out.
To figure out how much tulle you'll need, I guess you have to measure the WIDTH of your bolts and divide that into the perimeter of the room. It's the widths (or short ends) that willl be stapled to the walls. You'll also have to figure out how much "droop" you want to your bolts and add more to the area measurement of the ceiling you want covered.
If you hang your circular center piece on a rafter that'd probably be best. Be cautious if attaching it too close a light fixture... you don't want a fire. Perhaps suspending it from florist's wire would do the trick?
I think you're putting the mini christmas lights up on the ceiling , then the tulle over top,right? Make sure the wire on the lights is white or that'll really show through.. You'll need a million more staples for the lights too. Get proper "cradle" staples for that, not your typical flat ones, or you'll be risking some zapping, or at the very least, they might not hold them up.
I would venture to say this is a very expensive wedding project that will take HOURS to assemble at the hall. It's a good thing that the effect is stunning. I admire you wanting to try to tackle this.
hope this helps,
I wish I was as my inlaws and my own family are driving me nuts!!!! :laugh:
oh and how could i foget...go with leather instead of tulle :D

The bicentennial of the Voltaic battery (1800–2000): the artificial electric organ
Trends in Neurosciences, Volume 23, Issue 4, 1 April 2000, Pages 147-151
Marco Piccolino
AbstractAlessandro Volta invented the electric battery at the end of 1799 and communicated his invention to the Royal Society of London in 1800. The studies that led him to develop this revolutionary device began in 1792, after Volta read the work of Luigi Galvani on the existence of an intrinsic electricity in living organisms. During these studies, Volta obtained a series of results of great physiological relevance, which led him to anticipate some important ideas that marked the inception of modern neuroscience. These results have been obscured by a cultural tradition that has seen Volta exclusively as a physicist, lacking interest for biological problems and opposed in an irreversible way to the physiologist, Luigi Galvani.

Marco Piccolino and Marco Bresadola
AbstractJohn Walsh's research on electric fish, carried out between 1772 and 1775, proved fundamental for demonstrating that electricity might be involved in animal physiology, and, moreover, in favouring a period of great progress in both the physiology and physics of electrical phenomena. However, Walsh is hardly known to modern neuroscientists and is largely neglected by science historians also. One of the reasons for this neglect is that he never published his 'crucial experiment', that is the production of a spark from a discharge of the electric eel.

Trends in Neurosciences, Volume 20, Issue 6, 1 June 1997, Pages 239-242
Helmut Kettenmann
AbstractMore than two hundred years ago, Alexander von Humboldt helped to establish Galvani's view that muscle and nerve tissue are electrically excitable. His 1797 publication was a landmark for establishing the concept of animal electricity. Almost half a century later, von Humboldt became the mentor of the young du Bois-Reymond. With the help of von Humboldt's promotion, du Bois-Reymond demonstrated convincingly that animal tissue has the intrinsic capacity to generate electrical activity, and thus laid the ground for modern electrophysiology.

Luigi Galvani and animal electricity: two centuries after the foundation of electrophysiology
Marco Piccolinoa
Luigi Galvani and his famous experiments on frogs carried out in the second half of the 18th century belong more to legend than to the history of science. Galvani not only laid the foundations of a new science, electrophysiology, but also opened the way for the invention of the electric battery, and thus for the development of the physical investigations of electricity. However, in spite of the widespread celebration of his work, Galvani's scientific endeavours have been largely misrepresented in the history of science. The scholar of Bologna has a stereotyped image as an `occasional' scientist, who started his studies by chance, largely ignored the scientific theories of his time and wandered aimlessly in mental elaborations until the physicist of Pavia, Alessandro Volta, entered the field, correctly interpreted Galvani's results and eventually developed the electric battery. With the present understanding of electrical phenomena in excitable membranes, it is now time to reconsider the real matter raised by Galvani's discoveries and by his hypothesis of an intrinsic `animal electricity', and to make a clearer evaluation of a revolutionary phase of scientific progress.

Sure, they create innovative products. But these companies outdo their competitors in another, very important way.
Sure, they create innovative products. But these companies outdo their competitors in another, very important way.
Apple may be the most successful company in the world. At one point last year Apple had $76.2 billion in cash on hand, more than the U.S. government's $73.8 billion. And Apple is the most valuable company on the planet, with a market cap of nearly $529 billion dollars (last time I checked).
Apple's current market cap is more than the gross domestic products of Iraq, North Korea, Vietnam, Puerto Rico, and New Zealand - combined.
But according to Bill Zumwalt, CPA, developing innovative products and creating successful marketing strategies isn't the only thing Apple and Google do well; both companies also excel at devising and implementing complicated tax strategies that allow them to earn billions yet pay less than 10% of their taxable income in tax.
How do Apple and Google do it? Largely by keeping the money they earn outside the United States.
Apple owns subsidiaries in tax havens like Ireland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and the British Virgin islands. They helped pioneer the "Double Irish" and "Dutch Sandwich" strategies that hundreds of other multinational companies have imitated.
Google does the same thing. Here's how it works for Google:
Of course you might assume Ireland imposes withholding taxes on transfers outside of Ireland, but that's where the Dutch Sandwich comes in. Payments from Google Ireland Limited get sent through Google Netherlands Holdings, a firm based in Amsterdam with no employees that takes advantage of European Union rules to avoid Irish withholding.
By detouring funds through Amsterdam, Google saves approximately $1 billion in taxes every year.
Apple uses similar strategies, and maintains a subsidiary in tax-free Nevada called Braeburn Capital to manage their revenues without paying tax in its home state of California.
In gross dollars, Apple still pays a lot of tax: In 2011 the company paid a worldwide tax of $3.3 billion on $34.2 billion in profits. But one study concludes that Apple would have paid $2.4 billion more without these rules. Google actually pays 22% in taxes in the U.S., and overseas pays only 2.4%, even though it operates in countries with average corporate tax rates over 20%.
All of which, of course, is fine. Esoteric tax strategies aren't new and they certainly aren't illegal. Lots of companies—including Oracle, Microsoft, Pfizer, and Eli Lilly—use the Double Irish.
So if the thought of billion dollar companies paying a lower percentage of taxes than you do is upsetting, don't hate the players. Hate the game.
Smart companies don't just know how to make money. They know how to keep it, too.
Maybe the real rock stars at Google and Apple aren't the coders and designers. The real rock stars might just be the guys and gals in accounting.

Pensione Guerrato
San Polo 240/A, Venice, Italy
Check Rates for Pensione GuerratoChecking Rates for Pensione GuerratoNo availability
Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors
Hailed by most guidebooks, the Pensione Guerrato (also known as the Albergo Guerrato) won us over years ago. It's a bit of a splurge, but the pension is a special spot. It's located mere minutes from the Rialto Bridge, as well as the erbaria—a food market by day and strip of hipster "aperitivo" strip by night.
Quick read
Pros: Oh-so-charming. Fabulous location. Friendly service.
Cons: A bit spendy. Can pick up street noise.
Hotel and history
The Guerrato is a feast for the eyes, offering the most fabulous and flamboyant collection of Venetian antiques (and curiosities) we've seen. Your eyes will have more than they bargained for.
The building is a palace (and ex-convent) dating back to 1227. Brother owners Piero and Roberto have packed the great hall with furnishings, creating a look that's something between your granny's house and a Dolce & Gabbana atelier. The Guerrato mixes original Venetian floors, Oriental carpets, tchotchke shelves and Murano madness. ("It's called 'kitsch'," Piero explained to us.)
The Albergo Guerrato's 20 guest rooms feature parquet floors, Fortuny lamps, antique furniture and pieces brought back from the brothers' travels to Bali. Rooms are equipped with a telephone and air conditioning, but no TV. (Piero added, "Bring a book, please.")
Bathrooms vary in size, although some are quite large, with double-wide showers. Some rooms have private baths, while the cheapest share facilities.
The Albergo Guerrato is a friendly sort of place, with character to spare. Its storied history is reason enough to pass a night or several here, and some of the original details can still be seen.
A large buffet breakfast is included in the room rate and served in a spacious breakfast room under an impressive Murano-glass chandelier.
And pet-lovers rejoice: The Albergo Guerrato is not just "dog friendly." It actually offers a €5 discount for guests who bring a dog along.
With low rates starting at €100 a night for a double room with a shared bath, the Albergo Guerrato cannot really be called a "Cheapo hotel." However, its rates remain fairly steady throughout the year, making it a fabulous value in high season, when many cheaper hotels raise their rates. And year-round, those looking to splurge on an extra-special treat would not go wrong here.

About the Pensione Guerrato neighborhood
North of the Rialto Bridge, Venetian life is a bit more relaxed in San Polo. Streets are not as packed, restaurants have more local flavor, and prices tend to be more affordable in general. By day you'll find open-air markets and fish markets ("herbaria"), decked out in frescoed porticos. By night the area is home to hipsters for late-night "cicchetti" and great wines by the glass. You can easily walk to and from the area around the Rialto Bridge to San Marco in t10 minutes.

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A wonderful debut for any teen with friendship issues (i.e. all of them) Ruby's turning sixteen . . . but the day doesn't turn out to be as sweet as it's supposed to be. Her long lost father shows up, and Ruby doesn't want to have anything to do with him. Instead, she wants to hang out with her friends - loyal Beth, dangerous Katherine, and gossipy Maria. They have plenty of advice for her - about boys, about her dad, about how she should look and what she should be feeling. But really, Ruby doesn't know what to think or feel. Especially when a new boy comes into the picture . . . and Ruby discovers some of her friends aren't as truthful as they say. Review:"Vivian's first novel deftly probes the often confusing intricacies of friendship. When her long-lost father unexpectedly shows up at her 16th birthday party, Ruby flees the scene, shocked and frightened. After all, it's been six years since he drove away from Ruby and her mother in his pickup truck, and Ruby has never heard from him. Her best friend, Beth, has helped Ruby recover from his abandonment, and now that Ruby has been thrown back into turmoil, Beth is once again at Ruby's side, dishing advice. But when Ruby discovers that Beth is hiding a letter to Ruby from her father, she is no longer sure who deserves her trust. Vivian's tale begins slowly, but soon will captivate readers with the puzzle surrounding Ruby's father and what actually happened the day he left, as well as with the dilemma that gradually emerges: is it better to tell a comfortable lie or to share the wrenching truth? Readers will find themselves and their relationships reflected in Ruby's story — for better and worse. Ages 12-up." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

UPDATED: The Bucs received some good news as free safety Tanard Jackson has been reinstated by the NFL after serving a 19-game suspension after testing positive for marijuana for a third time in less than three years. Jackson will not count against the Bucs' 53-man roster this week.
The Buccaneers placed their second safety on injured reserve this week when rookie Devin Holland joined Cody Grimm on the I.R. list. But reinforcements are on their way in Tampa Bay with the return of fourth-year free safety Tanard Jackson, who served a 19-game suspension after failing his third league-conducted drug test since entering the league in the fourth round of the 2007 NFL Draft.
Jackson, who has battled marijuana use over the years, had been the starter for the Bucs at free safety since his first game as a rookie. In the 12 games he played in during the 2009 season prior to his suspension, Jackson recorded 85 tackles, a career-high five interceptions, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery and scored two defensive touchdowns. In the two games he played in during the 2010 campaign, Jackson recorded 13 tackles with two tackles for a loss and one fumble recovery. In his Tampa Bay career, Jackson has 278 tackles, 29 passes defensed, eight interceptions, five forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, two defensive touchdowns and one sack.
Due to his reinstatement this week, Jackson will not count against the Buccaneers' 53-man roster until the team decides to activate him from the exempt/commission's permission list. At that time, the Bucs will have to cut a player to make room on the active roster. Tampa Bay has up to two weeks to evaluate Jackson's physical condition to decide whether to put him on the active roster or not.
Fourth-year veteran Corey Lynch has been filling in as the starting free safety in the absence of Grimm, who suffered a torn ACL and MCL in Tampa Bay's 16-13 win over Atlanta in Week 3.

Multi-touch, high-speed, high noise immunity, low-voltage resistive touchscreen controllers
Rohm Semiconductor new BU21023/BU21024 series of high-speed, high noise immunity, low-voltage resistive touchscreen controllers are the industry's first to enable multi-touch (two-point) operation and intuitive gesture control, including pinching, spreading and rotating – previously possible only with more expensive capacitive touch systems, the company said. The design can save power, Rohm told Control Engineering.
Rohm Semiconductor BU21023 / BU21024 series of high-speed, high noise immunity, low-voltage resistive touchscreen controllers are now available. These new controllers are the industry's first to enable multi-touch (two-point) operation and intuitive gesture control, including pinching, spreading and rotating – previously possible only with more expensive capacitive touch systems, the company said. The increasing functionality and sophistication of electronic devices drives the demand for touchscreens which are preferred for their ease of use and versatility. In addition they enable direct interaction without the need for input devices. Resistive touchscreens account for over 75% of the touchscreen market, due in large part to their lower cost and higher precision when compared to capacitive technologies. Another advantage is that they allow operation with fingernails or even while wearing gloves, unlike capacitive touchscreens that require a conductor or dielectric.
At Sensors Expo in Rosemont, IL, on June 7, Ruben Balbuena, Rohm senior product marketing manager, told Control Engineering that 8-bit internal preprocessing can perform many functions without waking the main processor for the device, saving power in mobile applications.
Those close to the development noted:
- Resistive touch screens are used on lots of industrial HMI applications.
- Capacitive devices don't work when gloves are worn or hands are wet or screen is dirty. Until now resistive touchscreen were limited to single touch operations, so common touchscreen gestures like pinch, spread, rotate, scroll were not possible.
- Industrial systems could see a dramatic increase in functionality without replacing the touchscreen by designing in this new controller IC.
Nick Ikuta, Rohm senior technical marketing manager, said, "Touchscreen panels are used in a wide variety of applications, including cellular telephones and car navigation systems. The functionality of electronic devices is increasing day by day and operation by touch panel is increasingly shifting toward pinch, spread and other intuitive finger gestures. Until now, in order to actualize functions like these, electrostatic capacitance type touchscreens were the only choice. With the new BU21023/BU21024 series, conventional 4-wire resistive touchscreen designs can be easily expanded to include dual-touch."
The BU21023/BU21024 series ICs integrate a dedicated analog circuit and CPU for precise two-point coordinate and gesture detection. A calibration function is also built-in that minimizes the effects of panel variations during production as well as fluctuations in touchscreen device characteristics caused by temperature variations or time-based degradation.

CAIRO, Sept 20
- Tweet
- Share this
CAIRO, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Muslims angered by cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammad should follow his example of enduring insults without retaliating, Egypt's highest Islamic legal official said on Thursday.
Western embassies tightened security in Sanaa, fearing the cartoons published in a French magazine on Wednesday could lead to more unrest in the Yemeni capital, where crowds attacked the U.S. mission last week over an anti-Islam film made in America.
In the latest of a wave of protests against that video in the Islamic world, several thousand Shi'ite Muslims demonstrated in the northern Nigerian town of Zaria, burning an effigy of U.S. President Barack Obama and crying "Death to America".
The cartoons in France's Charlie Hebdo satirical weekly have provoked relatively little street anger so far, although about 100 Iranians demonstrated outside the French embassy in Tehran.
An Islamist activist called for attacks in France to avenge the perceived insult to Islam by the "slaves of the cross".
Mu'awiyya al-Qahtani said on a website used by Islamist militants and monitored by the U.S.-based SITE intelligence group: "Is there someone who will roll up his sleeves and bring back to us the glory of the hero Mohammed Merah?"
He was referring to an al Qaeda-inspired gunman who killed seven people, including three Jewish children, in the southern French city of Toulouse in March.
Condemning the publication of the cartoons in France as an act verging on incitement, Egypt's Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa said it showed how polarised the West and the Muslim world had become.
His statement echoed one by Al Azhar, Egypt's prestigious seat of Sunni learning, which condemned the caricatures showing the Prophet naked but said any protest should be peaceful.
An official at the Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt, whose population of 83 million people is 10 percent Christian, also condemned the cartoons as insults to Islam.
Gomaa said Mohammad and his companions had endured "the worst insults from the non-believers of his time. Not only was his message routinely rejected, but he was often chased out of town, cursed and physically assaulted on numerous occasions.
"But his example was always to endure all personal insults and attacks without retaliation of any sort. There is no doubt that, since the Prophet is our greatest example in this life, this should also be the reaction of all Muslims."
Last week some Egyptian protesters scaled the U.S. Embassy walls and tore down the flag. They clashed with police for four days, although most of the thousands of Egyptians who took to the streets did so peacefully.
Gomaa said insults to Islam and the response, including the killing of the U.S. ambassador in Libya and attacks on other Western embassies in the region, could not be dissociated from other points of conflict between the West and the Muslim world.
He cited the treatment of Muslims at the U.S. detention centre in Guantanamo, the U.S.-led war in Iraq, drone attacks in Yemen and Pakistan, and the demonisation of Muslims by far-right European parties as "underlying factors" for the tensions.
"To then insist on igniting these simmering tensions by publishing hurtful and insulting material in a foolhardy attempt at bravado - asserting the superiority of Western freedoms over alleged Muslim closed-mindedness - verges on incitement," he said in his statement published on the Reuters blog FaithWorld.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast condemned the cartoons as "a systematic plot" against Islam.
"The coordinated and continued silence of Western countries towards these hateful anti-Islamic actions, is the primary reason for the repetition of such insulting actions," he said.
He was speaking a day after French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius called the publication of the cartoons a provocation.
The Danish cartoonist who outraged Muslims with a drawing of the Prophet seven years ago said the West could not let itself be muzzled by fear of offending Islamic sensibilities.
Kurt Westergaard, whose lampoon of Mohammad in the Jyllands-Posten paper nearly got him killed by an axe-wielding assassin in 2010, told Austrian magazine News he had no regrets about his work and said freedom of speech was too precious to relinquish.
"Should we in future let ourselves be censored by Islamic authorities in deeply undemocratic countries?" he asked.
For many Muslims, any depiction of Mohammad is blasphemous.
The furore over the anti-Islam film and the cartoons has presented a tough challenge to new authorities in Arab countries where popular uprisings have overthrown entrenched autocrats.
In Libya, where militias that helped overthrow Muammar Gaddafi still wield much power, the foreign minister offered a further apology for U.S. ambassador Christopher Stevens' death to visiting U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns on Thursday.
Stevens and three other Americans died in an attack on the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi by gunmen among a crowd protesting against the film that denigrated the Prophet.

Phillies, Diamondbacks watching Youkilis
TORONTO Nick Cafardo reports that scouts from the Phillies and Diamondbacks have been here to evaluate Kevin Youkilis.
A substantial number of teams have interest in the infielder, who is 11 of 35 since returning from the disabled list.
As to other news today:
Daniel Nava is starting his 24th consecutive game, Bobby Valentine having changed his plans to give the left fielder a day off.
Im going to give him tomorrow off, Valentine joked. I looked at him in the training room. Hes young, hes strong, hes feeling good. The last thing I think he needs is two days away from it. Hes making good contact.
Dustin Pedroia is out of the lineup for the sixth consecutive game with a torn muscle in his right thumb. But he is expected to play on Tuesday night against Baltimore.
Valentine said he has no particular update on Jacoby Ellsbury, who has yet to start swinging a bat because of his shoulder injury suffered in April.
Righthander Ross Ohlendorf opted out of his minor league deal when the Red Sox decided against adding him to the 40-man roster on June 1. The 29-year-old was 4-3 with a 4.61 earned run average in 10 starts for Triple A Pawtucket after signing with the Sox just before spring training.
Mark Prior pitched in his first game for Pawtucket on Saturday night, throwing a scoreless inning in relief against Lehigh Valley in the second game of a doubleheader. Prior walked one, struck out one and threw 14 of 23 pitches for strikes.
Darnell McDonald (Pawtucket) and Ryan Kalish (Portland) will continue their rehabs today.

Know Your Options
This page is temporarily not available. Please check later as it should be available shortly. If you have any questions, please email customer support at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 800-767-3771 ext. 9339.
One question I get asked all the time is: what's the best way to use the Zacks Rank with options?
The answer is to know which style your stock falls into and which strategy best suits that style.
So here are some practical guidelines for picking the right stocks to go with the right option strategies.
If you're bullish on a stock, you can buy a call option and make money as it goes up.
Momentum stocks and Aggressive Growth stocks are probably the best kinds of stocks to use for this. These are stocks that are on the move with some of the most explosive upside potential.
When buying call options you need to be right on the direction of the trade as well as the time allotted for it to move.
Zacks #1 Rank ('strong buy') stocks are ideal for this as these are some of the likeliest candidates to move and profit with this strategy.
If you're bearish, you can buy a put option and make money as the price goes lower.
Look for stocks trading at excessive valuations. Focus in on the ones with downward earnings estimate revisions. And if they are below their major moving averages like the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, even better.
With put options, direction and time are important as well.
Stocks with a Zacks #4 Rank ('sell') or Zacks #5 Rank ('strong sell') will typically underperform the market over the short-term, which is perfect for this strategy.
Big Move in Either Direction
If you believe a big move could occur in either direction, but you're not sure which way, you can make money with a straddle or a strangle. This entails buying both a call and a put at the same time.
One of the best times to use this strategy is before an earnings announcement. And some of the best stocks for this option strategy are high beta stocks. These are stocks that can move big, and that's exactly what you need to see happen with this kind of strategy.
Once again, in order for a stock to make a big move, there usually needs to be a catalyst. One of the most reliable catalysts out there for big moves (up or down) is earnings reports.
If you also take a look at the stock's 'earnings uncertainty', you have the potential for the kind of volatility to make a strategy like this work.
Slower, Moderate Move
If you're expecting a stock to go up or down, but you expect the move to be moderate or slower, then spreads are a great strategy for this.
For example, a bull call spread involves buying a nearby strike and selling a farther out one.
If the stock goes up, but slowly, the nearby call you bought should increase in value, in spite of some time decay loss. But the call option you wrote will benefit from time decay, thus making the spread more profitable than had you only purchased a call.
Value style stocks and even Growth and Income stocks can produce some good picks for a bull call spread strategy. Stocks expected to move higher, but maybe not with a big splash.
Zacks #2 Ranks ('buy') and Zacks #3 Ranks ('hold') are good stocks to consider for this strategy.
The Option is Yours
These are just some of the ways to profit with options. And there are many more. As you can see, options give the investor numerous ways to make money in the market -- and in any direction. And you don't always have to wait for the next bull market to make money.
Once you know what stock characteristics go best with what types of options strategies, you'll quickly find yourself having more success in your options trading.

I would like to create an email folder on my phone in which I can move messages out of my phone's inbox and save them on the phone. when I click on "all folders" I see the standard, default folders that are loaded on the phone, however I can't seem to figure out a way to create a new folder. Is this possible?
Thanks! - 01-02-2013, 07:32 AM #2
Don't think this Is possible. You will need to create the folder in your client (gmail/outlook/yahoo). It will then sync to your phone and when you click on "all folders", you will see it there.
thanks. That is what I was afraid of. I'm using a pop3 account (I know, old fashioned) with my local internet provider. And, actually what I wound up doing was setting up my gmail account on the phone too, so if I have to save something, I can send it to gmail and save it. This would be something that I would like to see changed. You should be able to create local folders on the phone that don't sync with anything

EDITOR'S NOTE: Two paragraphs referencing the research of Simon LeVay have been deleted from the original posting. Dr. LeVay has notified Baptist Press that his views have changed since the 1991 citation in the column due to his subsequent studies.
ALEXANDRIA, La. (BP) -- Judicial rulings continue to grant civil rights to a behavior. An administrative law judge with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission now has ordered a baker to provide wedding cakes for homosexual weddings or face fines.
When a homosexual couple visited Masterpiece Cake Shop in Lakewood in July 2012 and inquired about a cake for their wedding, bakery owner Jack Philips told the pair he did not make cakes for homosexual weddings.
The couple filed charges with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission which led to the judge's ruling in early December.
A New Jersey state administrative law judge ruled in January of this year that the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association had discriminated against a homosexual couple and violated their rights when the group declined to allow a same-sex wedding on its beachfront property.
On Aug. 22, the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled against a wedding photographer who refused to contract with a homosexual couple to photograph a "commitment ceremony." The court upheld a decision by a state agency that found the photographer had violated state law.
It must be noted that the businesses in each of these three cases did not discriminate against individuals per se. They simply declined to participate in a ceremony designed to celebrate as natural, normal and healthy a behavior that each business owner believes is aberrant and immoral.
The real issue, however, is that American culture and jurisprudence accepts, as a fact, something that is yet unproven from a scientific point of view. The so-called fact is that homosexuality is innate. In other words, homosexuals are born that way.
While there have been scientific studies that have suggested homosexuality could possibility be determined by genetics or biology, none thus far has been conclusive or definitive.
The most comprehensive study of genetics was released in April 2003 when the International Human Genome Project announced the successful completion of the Human Genome Project. Major science journals reported on the incredible advances made in the field of genetics based on the project. However, the one piece of information that never materialized from the Human Genome Project was the identification of the so-called "gay gene."
The most recent effort to suggest a biological basis for homosexuality was reported in December 2012 in the Quarterly Review of Biology (Vol. 87, No. 4, pp. 343-368). The title of the study: "Homosexuality as a Consequence of Epigenetically Canalized Sexual Development." (Epigenetics is the study of factors that switch parts of the genome off and on at strategic times and locations during development).
Researchers in the field of epigenetics who conducted a study of preborn babies in their mothers' wombs reported "there is compelling evidence that epi-marks contribute to both the similarity and dissimilarity of family members, and can therefore feasibly contribute to the observed familial inheritance of homosexuality...."
Some media outlets heralded the epigenetic research with such headlines as following headline: "Science: Homosexuality isn't genetic, but it is biological."
However, that was not quite the case.
The researchers wrote on page 357 of their report: "Although we cannot provide definitive evidence that homosexuality has a strong epigenetic underpinning, we do think that available evidence is fully consistent with this conclusion."
Note the researches admit they made no definitive discovery that homosexuality is determined epigenetically and, at best, they think the evidence is consistent with their conclusion that it is.
To date, as far as science is concerned, a genetic predetermination and/or a biological basis for homosexuality simply do not exist.
Even the American Psychological Association recognizes no scientific basis for a genetic predisposition for homosexuality. The APA once touted there was considerable evidence to "suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person's sexuality." The APA in recent years has abandoned this position.
The APA has produced a brochure, available on its website, titled "Answers to Your Questions for a Better Understanding of Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality." In the pamphlet the APA states the following: "There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors...."
Civil rights are reserved for human characteristics that are immutable. So, as far as science is concerned, homosexuality is a behavior and does not qualify for special rights. Our founding fathers likely would voice outrage over recent judicial rulings forcing businesses to participate in celebrations of a behavior. God-fearing, freedom-loving Americans should too.

This is my first Too Faced palette, which I purchased after a makeover by a Too Faced guest artist at Ulta. I like to blend Soul Mates and Bouquet Toss together, and use that as a highlighter up to the brow bone. I've been using the purple shades most frequently, but all of the colors are really pretty. They work really well on green eyes. It's nice to have a palette that allows me to create 3 different looks. Great to pack for vacation so that I can mix up my look without over packing.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this palette and almost all of its eye shadows are very well pigmented except for kiss the bride, which comes out a lot lighter than expected. The only 2 problems i have with this palette is the retail price, which is AUD$56 and the fallout which is kind of excessive.
Overall i really love this palette and it has very beautiful colours.
I'm a bit of a palette junkie, and this one was recommended to me by an Ulta employee. What I love most about this palette is the color Honeymoon -- it is so pretty! For me that shade is unique (I've never seen it anywhere else), and it looks great on my lids.
The reason I wouldn't repurchase this palette is because the other shades in the palette are pretty common and ones you can find in other palettes -- taupe, light pink, lilac... there's nothing that special about them. There is at least one other palette out there that has pretty much all the same shades (and then some), is better quality in my opinion, and is only six dollars more (*cough*LORACPro*cough*).
Maybe some of the other Too Faced Palettes are really great, but I wasn't blown away by this one.
I love Too Faced's packaging! I bought this in the spring and though it would be a great spring palette. The purple/lavendar, gray, bronzey/green-ey color. I love all the shades! You can create a neutral look or a smoky look! This is definitely a repurchase for me. The colors are all pigmented, blend beautifully.

this is a versatile and terrifically designed palette. all colors are highly pigmented and true to color in the pan. i especially love that u can create neutral, sweet, sultry and girly looks all from this palette! the light blue shimmer and green are very pleasant surprises, so is the matte grey and black. very good balance of matte and shimmer, and the packaging is gorgeous!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was hoping more pigmentation from the pink shade. Overall very nice palette.
I like the packaging, it's cute!
Update: I haven't used this much.. Would not repurchase. Still sad about the not pigmented pink shade =(
More reviews by HoneyCosmetics
One of my favourite palettes of all time! The colours are beautiful and go on wonderfully, giving you either a nice, neutral eye or a glam night time eye. The pigmentation is beutiful and i love the three highlight colours at the side, you just get so many great shadows all in one palette, loved this!
This is my fourth Too Faced e/s palette. I own the Natural, Naked and Matte collections and I love them all. I received the Romantic Eye palette as a gift from my bf and it is by far my favorite. Although it isn't advertised as such, this palette seems custom made for green eyes. The pink and purple shades in the middle row create an especially gorgeous look for my eye color (First Dance makes a superb liner as do all of the deepest shades). The other standout is Honeymoon, a stunning, gilded spring green that is unlike anything I own or have tried before (wish they made this shade solo-would definitely buy). I also think it's brilliant that Too Faced makes the three pale, creamy shades in every palette the largest since I use these the most as base and highlight shades. No other palette I've seen addresses this, so it's something that further elevates Too Faced palettes for me. Overall, this palette is particularly flattering for green eyes and it offers the most variation in shade range of any TF palette I've seen. Also well worth the price for the quantity and quality in my opinion.
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I don't know why there is so much hate on this palette. I own the Smoky eye palette as well and I'm in love with Too Faced eyeshadows now. I don't experience fallout with the colours, I find them pigmented and easy to blend. There are a variety of matte and shimmery shadows in this palette and gorgeous colours that all go well together. You could use these colours for an every day look and then switch it to a nighttime look with some of the darker colours. The packaging for this palette is gorgeous just like any other Too Faced palette. It has the little magnet flap that keeps it closed so it's perfect for travel. It also has little cards in the top that show you different kinds of looks to do with these colours which is perfect for beginners or to give someone some inspiration for a look. The only downside to this palette is that it is so dang expensive, especially in Canada. It's $36 in America and $46 in Canada...not fair lol. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants something light for everyday but slightly more done up than a neutral brown look.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I don't understand what is going in with too faced palettes lately. I tried the naked eye kit and it was really dry and chalky and I couldn't get it to show up at all. Now I have the romantic eye kit and although the pigmentation is better, it's a chalky mess and the fallout is unbelievable. I can't do my foundation before applying these because of all the fallout I have to clean up. My neutral eye and smokey eye palettes by too faced were nothing like these two. They were great quality and I can't beleve they were even made by the same company.

Ode to a babe (babeliness is next to godliness)
A babe! A babe. An implausible babe!
A sneak! That babe. Somehow overlooked, this babe.
In plaid. Babely in plaid. In plaid and cuffed sleeves. A babe. In dresses — those dresses! — breezy and flowing. A babe.
And in her smile, a babe.
A restrained smile, nearly imperceptible
Tugging gently at the corners,
Like she knows better than to laugh at you, this babe.
Taunting bottom lip, this babe.
Never believed in the adjective "beestung" before.
But maybe you should put some ice on that, babe.

Despite last week's settlement in the First Arena bankruptcy case, the facility is not out of the woods yet. The latest challenge has to do with utility costs. As YNN's Katie Husband tells us, it is another step in a long process but for now, games in the near future will still be played.
ELMIRA, N.Y. -- First Arena continues to hurdle through more challenges after the former owner, Elmira Downtown Arena LLC filed for bankruptcy last August.
"In any bankruptcy situation, as I've learned through this experience, then it changes the relationship of the parties and the payments and those kind of things," said Matt Hufnagel, First Arena general manager.
Payments to NYSEG, specifically. According to Hufnagel, the utility company wants more in monthly payments due to last week's settlement agreement, naming Elm Arena LLC the new operator. Currently, talks between each attorney and NYSEG continue to try to reach a payment agreement.
"It's in everybody's best interest for this place to continue to operate and keep going. So, I think that, from my conversations that's the start of these discussions between both, any vendor, anywhere and any customer, it's in the best interest to work together so businesses can operate and bills can be paid," said Hufnagel.
Leaders say they don't know when an agreement will be made, but the attorney for Elm Arena LLC says this does not hinder their new role.
"When the closing occurs at the end of the hockey season then we'll, presumably will be the owner of the facility and we'll have to make our own arrangement with the utility," said David Rasmussen, Elm Arena LLC, attorney.
"A future with this arena and this hockey team that I think is very bright, we're going to continue to plug along and have a great season," said Hufnagel.
Hufnagel wants all fans to know the lights will remain on for this Friday's game against the Reading Royals, while the latest chapter in this ongoing saga plays out.
NYSEG did respond to our story saying, "We are attempting to work with all interested parties in this proceeding to keep hockey in Elmira."
