Lineups: "School Day" and Hudson Back from D.L.
WARNING TO ROYALS FANS: Today is "School Day at the K."
It all came rushing back when we pulled into a parking lot this morning that had more yellow school buses than we could count. This year's event – in its ninth season – is rewriting the record books with more than 18,000 area kids, teachers and parents filling the lower bowl of Kauffman to watch a FOX 4 weather presentation before sticking around for the Royals afternoon game. So, for all you non-"School Day at the K" fans coming out to the game be prepared for a lot of high-pitch cheers, doing the wave at least three of four times per inning from the third inning on, a major shortage of cotton candy and an all-around fun day at the ballpark!
Meanwhile, Luke is back from the D.L. and takes the mound today against Oakland's Joe Kennedy (0-2, 2.48 ERA). Here's Hudson's stats from his minor league rehab assignment:
- Wichita: Posted an 0-1 record with a 3.68 ERA (7.1 IP, 8 H, 3 ER) in two starts for the Wranglers. He issued just two walks while striking out 12.
- Omaha: Went 0-1 while posting a 5.00 ERA (9.0 IP, 11 H, 5 ER) in two starts, issuing four walks and striking out 14.
It's the final day of the homestand – the longest of the season – but the energy is high from last night's 3-2 win. Here are your lineups…

Young Donor Listens, Then Helps Children's Hospital
When Jamie Bocketti talked about the kids she saw while working in the Department of Pediatrics at Albany Medical Center, her then 6-year-old daughter Emily listened.
Emily's subsequent curiosity led her to twice donate her hair to "Locks of Love," but she wanted to do something for the kids where her mom worked.
|Emily Fredericks presents a check to David A. Clark, MD, director of the Children's Hospital at Albany Med.
"I knew the children needed help, so I decided to raise money to help them," Emily said.
Recently, Emily, now 10, visited the Children's Hospital at Albany Med and its director David A. Clark, MD, to present a check for $250, the fruit of her labor.
"My brothers, cousins and I sold lemonade and brownies at our garage sale," Emily said proudly. "Some people just randomly donated money without buying anything once they found out what I was doing."
"I was extremely proud to know that at a young age, she wanted to help others," said Jamie Bocketti, coordinator for Albany Med's pediatric surgery practice.
Emily would like her donation, one of many community-based fundraisers for the Children's Hospital, to pay for "medicine or surgery that kids need, or maybe to hire the dogs that make kids happy."
As the Lifeline Campaign continues, the generous spirit displayed by Emily allows Albany Med to continue its mission to care for the health needs of northeastern New York, southern Vermont and western Massachusetts. She already has plans for her next fundraiser — this time to help with pediatric cancer research.
"Her ideas really make me hopeful that she can make a difference in the world," her mother said.

Tallahassee, FL - The big Florida State versus Florida football game is now just hours away.
This rivalry is huge and so are the crowds that will be on hand.
Says Dave Northway of the Tallahassee Police Department: "We want people to be safe and come and enjoy a good time at the football game."
With the big crowds in and around the stadium, that could be easier said then done.
The Tallahassee Police Department will be helping to keep things safe on the streets and around the stadium.
Dave Northway says "TPD is employing different officers out on the streets to take care of traffic problems and traffic crashes"
Fans do get a little crazy when these two teams go head to head...the state's bragging rights are on the line.
Florida State Fan Shea Brockwell says "absolutely crazy, best game of the season regardless of where we are ranked"
Florida Fan John Bailey says "first time here and I'm really pumped I drove all the way down from Atlanta to see this wonderful game, go Gators we're going to bring it"
And because this is the biggest game of the year tickets are always hard to come by and that can cause some problems.
Says Dave Northway: "I would just say that buyer beware, if you are trying to buy tickets around the stadium make sure that they are going to be real tickets"
If you can't get tickets to the game, you can watch all the action on TV. Kickoff is at 3:30pm on Saturday.

Four Neighbors of Adam Mayes Arrested in Connection With the Kidnapping of Alexandria Bain & Kyliyah Bain and Murder of Jo Ann Bain & daughter Adrienne Bain
More arrests …
There have been more arrests in the bizarre kidnapping and murder case that ended in suspect Adam Mayes killed himself when authorities and SWAT closed in on his location in the Mississippi woods. Thankfully, Alexandria Bain and Kyliyah Bain were found safe and unharmed.
Four of Adam Mayes' neighbors have been arrested in connection with the abduction and murder case of mother Jo Ann Bain and her daughters, Alexandria Bain, Kyliyah Bain and Adrienne Bain. Adam Mayes abducted Jo Ann Bain and her daughters April 27, 2012, the last time that they were reportedly seen. It is hard to imagine that any one would have helped this sicko in his abduction and murderous acts before, during or after; however, obviously that was the case.
Tennesse Bureau of Investigation/Handout
Police did not say how the four additional people arrested – including a husband and wife and the adult son of the husband – were linked to the Mayes case. The couple were arrested for possessing a weapon and the son had been wanted previously by Mississippi authorities.
In what can be described as a bizarre attempt to remedy a relationship gone wrong when Mayes learned that the Bain's were moving back to Arizona. According to court affidavits, Mayes intended to kidnap the two youngest daughters, Alexandria Bain and Kyliyah Bain, and kill the mother, Jo Ann Bain, and her oldest daughter Adrienne. Sadly, that is exactly how it happened.
As it turns out Adam Mayes had been investigated previously for sexual abuse.Previously Mayes was babysitting a 7 year old girl when the parents walked in the bathroom and found Mayes and the seven year old naked as he was shaving her legs. Um … ICK!!! More ICK … it was also reported that a stash of child pornography was found in his bedroom. Of course, nothing was done.
In the police report, obtained by NBC station WMC-TV of Memphis, Tenn., someone reported that Mayes was babysitting a 7-year-old girl when a family member walked in on them in the bathroom. The report said that Mayes and the young girl were naked and that he was shaving her legs.
The complainant also said Mayes had a stash of child pornography in his bedroom. A U.S. Postal Inspection Service investigation found no evidence that Mayes had received child pornography in the mail, and the allegation was ultimately declared unfounded, WMC reported.
Why would any one have allowed their little girls to be any where around this perv after such an incident?

Top 10 FBI's Most Wanted Fugitive Adam Mayes Caught & Arrested in New Albany, MS … Missing and Abducted 12 Year Old Alexandria Bain & 8 Year Old Kyliyah Bain Found Alive and Safe (UPDATE: Mayes Dead)
Breaking News … Fantastic new in the developing story of missing Alexandria Bain & Kyliyah Bain …
35 year old fugitive Adma Mayes has been caught and arrested in New Albany, Mississippi. Missing and abducted 12 year old Alexandria Bain and her 8 year old sister Kyliyah Bain have been found safe and alive. Mayes is in critical condition after a self inflicted gun shot to the head after authorities and SWAT moved in on the kidnapping and murder suspect.
The Mississippi man suspected of killing a Tennessee mother and daughter was caught Thursday evening and the two other young daughters he is suspected of kidnapping were found alive, though there were conflicting reports of whether the suspect is alive or dead.
Adam Mayes, 35, on America's Most Wanted Fugitive List, was caught in Mississippi, Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards confirmed.
Guntown Police Chief Michael Hall says a SWAT team located Mayes in New Albany, Miss., with the help of a tip. When they moved in to apprehend him, he shot himself
UPDATE I: Adam Mayes Shot himself to death. Most of us expected that this is the way that this kidnapping would end with the suspected kidnapper and murderer killing himself. Although we can thank God that he did not harm the two sisters.
Two Tennessee girls missing since their mother and sister were murdered were rescued today in Mississippi, where their suspected abductor apparently shot himself to death, an FBI official said.
"The girls were found alive and appear to be unharmed," Daniel McMullen, the FBI special agent in charge for the state of Mississippi, told reporters. "Officers also apprehended top 10 fugitive Adam Mayes. Preliminary reports indicate Mayes shot himself in the head and was later pronounced dead in an area hospital."
UPDATE II: Adam Mayes found in Union County, MS.
Game wardens happened upon Mayes in a heavily wooded area behind a small church near his mother's home in Mississippi, about 45 minutes from the Tennessee border. As they approached him, he shot himself. An ambulance transported him in critical condition to Baptist Hospital in Alpine, Miss., where he was later pronounced dead.

Suspect Adam Mayes Added to FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives List … Charged with Murder of Jo Ann Bain & Adrienne Bain … 12 year old Alexandria Bain & 8 Year Old Kyliyah Bain Still Missing
Charges escalate from "especially aggravated kidnapping" to "first degree murder" …
Suspect Adam Christopher Mayes, wanted in the disappearance and kidnapping of 12 year old Alexandria Bain and her 8 year old Kyliyah Bain has been added to the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitive List. The FBI has also added $100,000 to the reward fund offered for a break in the case. Adam Hayes has also just been charged with two counts of first degree murder in the death of Tennessee mom Jo Ann Bain and her 14 year old daughter Adrienne Bain. Adam's wife, Teresa Mayes has also been charged with two counts of first degree murder. Previously, Teresa Mayes had been charged with especially aggravated kidnapping.
In an affidavit, Teresa Mayes said she was there when Adam Mayes killed Jo Ann Bain in a garage next to their home and that Adam Mayes also killed 14-year-old Adrienne Bain at that location.
Teresa Mayes also said her husband planned to kidnap Alexandria and Kyliyah.
Adam Mayes' mother Mary is charged with four counts of Conspiracy To Commit Especially Aggravated Kidnapping.
The FBI added the suspect, Adam Mayes, to its list of 10 most wanted fugitives and added $100,000 to the reward fund offered for a break in the case. Mayes has been charged with killing Jo Ann Bain and her eldest daughter, Adrienne, in late April, but authorities believe he is still holding Bain's younger daughters, 12-year-old Alexandria and 8-year-old Kyliyah.
"From an investigative standpoint, we keenly and firmly believe that Adam Mayes is out here somewhere with these two young children," said Mark Gwyn, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. "And it's going to be up to the public to help us if we're to bring these children back home and place him in custody where he needs to be."
As stated at Blink on Crime, "Adam Mayes believes Alexandria and Kyliyah are HIS DAUGHTERS and they were set to move to Arizona." This can explain why only the mother and eldest daughter were killed and the two youngest are still believed to be alive as per the FBI.
Mayes' mother-in-law told The Associated Press that Mayes thought he might be the girls' father and it caused trouble in the marriage to her daughter, who's jailed in the case.
Affidavit Against Adam & Teresa Mayes.
VIDEO interview below with the sister of Tersa Bain, Bobbi Booth, who spoke to CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday about Adam Mayes and his relationship with her sister, who she said has mental health problems.
"I've known Adam for at least 25 years, and he's always been weird and unusual … but I never dreamed he would do something like this," she said.
She described him as aggressive and not trustworthy. He beat and threatened to kill her sister, said Booth, who pleaded with him to "do the right thing."

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is requesting that anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Adam Mayes, Alexandria Bain and Kyliyah Bain call the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
Police Arrest 65 Year Old Mother Mary Frances Mayes & Ex-wife Teresa Ann Mayes of Kidnapping Suspect Adam Mayes
OK, this case just got really bizarre …
The 65 year old mother, Mary Frances Mayes, and the ex-wife, Teresa Ann Mayes, of kidnapping suspect Adam Mayes have been arrested for the charges of committing especially aggravated kidnapping. The missing persons case of 12 year old Alexandria Bain and 8 year Kyliyah Bain continues, however, since the Bain family originally went missing, 31 year old mother Jo Ann Bain and her oldest daughter, 14 year old Adrienne Bain have been found dead in the back yard of kidnapping suspect Adam Mayes. Convictions on these charges carry possible sentences of 15 to 60 years in prison under Tennessee law. Bond has been set at $500,000 for Teresa Mayes, while Mary Frances Mayes' bond was set at $300,000,
Mary Frances Mayes
Teresa Ann Mayes
Police in Tennessee have arrested the ex-wife and mother of Adam Mayes, the man suspected of kidnapping Jo Ann Bain and her three daughters, state authorities said Tuesday.
The mother, 65-year-old Mary Frances Mayes, and the ex-wife, Teresa Ann Mayes, 30, were arrested Monday, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). Teresa Mayes has been charged with four counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, while Mary Frances Mayes has been charged with four counts of conspiracy to commit especially aggravated kidnapping.
They appeared before a judge Tuesday morning and were being held in the Hardeman County Jail, Deputy court clerk Pat Kirk said.
According to an arrest warrant, Teresa Mayes admitted driving a vehicle containing Jo Ann Bain and her three daughters from Hardeman County to Union County, Mississippi. Bain and her oldest daughter, Adrienne, suffered "serious bodily injury as a result of their removal or confinement," according to the warrant.
The man hunt continues for suspected kidnapper Adam Mayes in the abduction of 12-year old Alexandra Bain and 8 year old Kyliyah.

Confirmed Dead … The Bodies Found at Residence of Adam Mayes were that of Tennessee Mom Jo Anne Bain and Oldest Daughter Adrienne Bain … Alexandria, 12, and Kyliyah, 8 Still Missing … Suspect Mayes May be Using Alias Christopher Zachery Wylde or Paco Rodrigass
The FBI has confirmed what many of us had suspected once the bodies of two individuals were found at the residence of suspected kidnapper Adam Mayes. Authorities have confirmed that the bodies discovered behind a home in Union County Mississippi were that of missing 31 year old mother Jo Ann Bain and her oldest daughter, 14 year old Adrienne Bain. This would make some sense if the suspect Mayes is a child predator, killing off the older hostages. The FBI did not say the cause of murder.
The bodies of a Tennessee mother and her oldest daughter were found behind an alleged kidnapper's house in north Mississippi, the FBI said Monday, and authorities believe the woman's two other daughters are still with the man accused in their abduction.
Jo Ann Bain and her three daughters disappeared April 27 as the family was packing to move to Arizona. The bodies of Bain and her 14-year-old daughter, Adrienne Bain, were found behind Adam Mayes' house near Guntown, a rural area police have been searching.
The bodies were discovered late last week and positively identified. The FBI did not say how the two died.
The FBI said it believed the other daughters — 12-year-old Alexandria and 8-year-old Kyliyah — were still with Mayes. The agency did not say in a news release why it thought that, and FBI spokesman Joel Siskovic said no further details were available on the bodies or the search for Mayes and the girls.

The FBI believe that the other two daughters, 12-year old Alexandria and 8 year old Kyliyah, are still alive and with alleged kidnapper and murderer 35 year old Adam Mayes. The FBI and authorities are now conducting a massive manhunt for the supposed long time family friend in efforts to find the two remaining sisters.
FBI agents in green camouflage, carrying high-powered rifles joined K-9 units and SWAT teams in a search of the woods and back roads of north Mississippi near Mayes' home.
State troopers stopped vehicles and looked in trunks Monday, and FBI agents searched the yard of a home in rural Union County, seeking clues.

Were the Bodies Found that of missing mother Jo Anne Bain 'found alongside one of her children'… but where are the other two daughters???
Speculation and rumors are abound as to the identities of the two bodies found at one of the residences of kidnapping suspect Adam Christopher Mayes. The Daily Mail reports,were the bodies found that of missing mom and one of the daughters? if so, where are the other two? The search continues for missing Jo Anne Bain and her three daughters.
A desperate hunt for a mother and her three children missing since last month has led to a grim discovery, as two bodies were found buried at a Mississippi home.
The bodies have not yet been positively identified, but police indicated on Sunday that they believe one to be Tennessee mom Jo Anne Bain, 31, who disappeared along with her daughters, Adrienne, 14, Alexandria, 12, and Kyliyah, 8.
MyFoxDFW reported that the remains were found Friday at a home linked to the prime suspect in the family's disappearance, Adam Christopher Mayes.
There are some reports that the authorities already know the identification of the two bodies found but are with holding the information, yet there are other stating that autopsies need to be completed.However, the link to the web age of the media story is no longer available.
The sheriff adds that law enforcement knows the identities on the bodies but cannot release that information yet.
Edwards says a command post is being set up at the Alpine Volunteer Fire Department as the investigation proceeds.
UPDATE I: This cannot be good, from the Missing Persons forums of Scared Monkeys comes the following, "Adrienne Bain (oldest daughter) has been removed from the poster at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. I think we all know what that probably means."

Two Bodies Found in Search for Missing Tennessee Mom Jo Ann Bain Three Daughters (Adrienne Bain, Alexandria Bain & Kyliyah Bain) … Bodies Found in Guntown, MS at a Residence of Person of Interest Adam Christopher Mayes
The search for missing and abducted Tennessee mom Jo Ann Bain and her daughters, Adrienne Bain, Alexandria Bain and Kyliyah Bain, has had a new and disturbing set of circumstances. According to the police, two bodies were found in Mississippi during the continued search. However, they have yet to be identified. The two bodies were found in Guntown at a residence where Mayes was last seen. Federal search warrants were executed at the residence of person of interest Adam Christopher Mayes during the course of searching that location, two bodies were found."
Two bodies were found today in Mississippi in the search for a missing Tennessee mother and her three daughters, which investigators said led them to issue an Amber Alert for the missing family.
When they announced the Ambert Alert, Mississippi police said only that new details led them believe Jo Ann Bain, 31, and her three daughters, Adrienne, 14; Alexandria, 12; and Kyliyah, 8; were abducted and could be in extreme danger.
Jo Ann Bain and her three daughters, Adrienne, 14; Alexandria, 12; and Kyliyah, 8, have been missing since April 27, 2012. They are believed to have been kidnapped and abducted.
WREG: Two Bodies Found In The Search For Missing Hardeman County Family. The finding of these bodies is what gave rise to the Amber Alert for the missing children. Also, the authorities consider Adam Christopher Mayes armed and dangerous which we can presume that the bodies found may have been killed by a gun or knife.
"We executed some federal search warrants at some residences he's been known to stay at," said FBI spokesperson, Joel Siskovic. "At that time, during the search, we did find two bodies at that location."
The FBI is not saying whether or not those bodies belong to the missing Hardeman County family, only that they've sent them to the medical examiner's office to be identified.
"It was based on finding those two bodies that initiated the Amber Alert with concern of extreme danger to the children," said Siskovic.
It is worth noting that the mother, Jo Ann Bain, has been removed from the Amber Alert.
All the FBI would tell News Channel 3 is the house is located near Guntown, MS. However the house is believed to be on Highway 9 near Alpine, MS. U.S. Marshals were there investigating Saturday afternoon.
"A warrant for especially aggravated kidnapping has been issued. He is a wanted person," said Siskovic. "He is believed to be armed and dangerous and we do not know where he has gone."
UPDATE I: From WVTA, "Despite published reports, the bodies were not found in Guntown or any other part of Lee County, according to Lee County Coroner Carolyn Green." Although FBI spokespersons are saying just the opposite.
UPDATE II: FBI works to identify 2 dead in Tennessee.

Libya: Extradition of Al-Senussi to Tripoli thwarts international efforts to try him for crimes against humanity

|International Federation for Human Rights, Libya: Extradition of Al-Senussi to Tripoli thwarts international efforts to try him for crimes against humanity, 11 September 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/5060402117.html [accessed 31 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Last Update 11 September 2012
On 5 September 2012 Abdullah Al-Senussi, Former Libyan head of the Military Intelligence, was extradited from Mauritania to Tripoli. FIDH remains concerned about the capacity, transparency and guarantees of fair trial of the Libyan justice system and calls upon the Libyan authorities to transfer Al-Senussi to the International Criminal Court (ICC), where he is wanted for crimes against humanity.
"The lack of transparency and the weakness of the Libyan justice system to investigate international crimes and ensure a fair trial may hinder the efforts to bring justice according to international standards for victims of crimes against humanity committed during the uprising" says Patrick Baudouin, FIDH Honorary President. "Under international law, and pursuant to the referral of the Libyan situation to the ICC by the UN Security Council, the Libyan authorities should cooperate fully with the International Criminal Court, comply with its arrest warrants, and hand Al-Senussi over to The Hague".
On 27 June 2011, the ICC issued an arrest warrant against Al-Senussi for his alleged responsibility in the murder and persecution of civilians from 15 February 2011 onwards. His actions would have been part of a State policy to quell demonstrations against Muammar Gaddafi's regime and targeting those perceived as dissidents, particularly in Benghazi, cradle of the uprising that finally led to the fall of the regime. Al-Senussi has been detained since his arrest at the airport in Nouakchott, Mauritania, in March 2012, trying to enter the country illegally, using a forged passport.
The Libyan authorities have made it clear that they want Al-Senussi to be tried in Libya notably for his alleged responsibility in the killing of more than 1000 detainees in Tripoli's Abu Slim prison in 1996.
"This extradition to Libya where there are serious doubts about the capacity of the justice system to genuinely investigate and prosecute is extremely concerning. The rights of the victims of crimes against humanity may not be respected and Al-Senussi's rights to a fair trial be violated, as he will face inadequate guarantees and the death penalty", declared Souhayr Belhassen, FIDH President.
While the ICC is still examining the legal request by the Libyan government to genuinely prosecute Saif al-Islam Gaddafi nationally, whose trial in Libya is said to open in September, the ICC arrest warrant for Al-Senussi remains in force and Libya has an obligation to surrender him without delay to The Hague.
The ICC issued arrest warrants on 27 June 2011, against Muammar Gaddafi and his son, Saif al-Islam, and against Al-Senussi, for attacks against demonstrators and other civilians constituting crimes against humanity. These crimes were committed throughout Libya, namely in Tripoli, Benghazi and Misrata. The ICC warrants apply only to events in Libya beginning on 15 February 2011.
The ICC proceedings against Muammar Gaddafi were terminated following his death on 20 October 2011. Saif al-Islam Gaddafi was arrested on 19 November 2011 and is detained in Libya since. The Government officials say they want to try Saif al-Islam Gaddafi in Libya.
Al-Senussi was arrested last March in Mauritania, for trying to enter the country illegally, using a forged passport. According to the ICC arrest warrant, under instructions by Muammar Gaddafi to deter and quell civilian demonstrations in Benghazi, the former chief of Libyan Military Intelligence directly instructed military troops to attack demonstrators.

What are the Most Noted Garcinia Cambogia Side Effects?
There is no doubt that Garcinia Cambogia is the hottest thing in the weight loss niche and market these days. Ever since it was branded the name 'the miracle weight loss pill', its popularity has been growing day after day. But, does this product have side effects? Well, it does, but these side effects are mild and rare. Here are the side effects that have being associated with it:
1. Gastrointestinal side effects
According to Green Herbal Remedies, too much consumption of Garcinia Cambogia can result in gastrointestinal side effects. People who consume large amounts of this herb may experience intestinal pains, stomach upsets, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and in some cases headaches.
2. Blood sugar effects
If you are diabetic, you may want to give this extract a second thought. It's been established that Hydroxycitric acid, the most active ingredient in this extract, can cause the blood sugar levels to fall. Just as eMedTv noted, people who are diabetic need to closely monitor their blood sugar levels when they use this herb. If you are using insulin or metformin to regulate your blood sugar level, you will need to visit your health care provider to adjust your dosage so that you can use the Garcinia Cambogia Dr Oz extract.
3. Allergic reaction
Some people will develop some form of allergy towards this herb. This could include skin rash, itching, hives, throat or mouth itching, difficult breathing, wheezing, chest tightness, and swelling of the face, hands or throat. To be on the safe side, always consider allergic reaction to this herb a medical emergency.
4. Testicular shrinkage
Garcinia cambogia results in testicular shrinkage when consumed in extremely high doses. Tests have been carried out on rats where they were fed with this extract. The results are quite disturbing. The extract resulted in suppression of fat accumulation as well as testicular shrinkage. When rats were fed with low doses of this herb, no side effects were noticed. You definitely don't anticipate testicular shrinkage, so ensure that you are only consuming the right amounts of Garcinia cambogia extract. And if you do not know what this correct amount is, consult your doctor.
Garcinia cambogia extract came as a relief to the weight loss industry, and with its mild and rare side effects, there is no doubt that this product is here to stay. It is true that Garcinia cambogia has side effects, but this does not mean that you take any brand. Always stick to brands that meet the standards set in the industry.Read More
Details on the 21 Day Fix Containers
When it comes to the 21 Day Fix nutritional program, a portion control system is used. For this system to work, color-coded containers are used to guide your nutritional intake. These color-coded containers are simple and straightforward, and at the same time they are highly efficient.
Each container matches a different food group, and each container differs in size. You will be allocated a certain number of containers based on your current weight and daily caloric need, meaning that you don't have to count the number of calories that you are consuming with each meal.
As I said, this system is incredibly simple, and below we will look closer at what purpose the containers play.
21 Day Fix Color Coded Containers
Green container for vegetables
The green container is for veggies, which is perhaps the most vital food group of them all. This container is the same volume as 1.25 cups, ensuring that a large portion of your diet consists of greens. 21 day fix is trying to push you towards consuming veggies on a consistent basis, which most people refuse to do. And because there is a variety of veggies allowed by 21 Day Fix, you will not be short on meal choices.
Purple container for fruits
Just like the green container that we just mentioned, the purple container is equivalent to 1.25 cups. This means that you will be consuming a good amount of nutritious fruits on a daily basis. The large purple container will hold your favorite fruits, as long as they are high in nutrients and low in sugar/calories.
Red container for proteins
For you to have a balanced diet, you need to include proteins. Proteins play a crucial role in building and repairing the tissues that are found in your muscles, hair, and collagen. In fact, if you want to build lean muscle, then you better eat a protein-rich diet. Vegetarians and vegans have their fair share of protein sources in this program, and this container is equal to a 3/4 cup.
Yellow container for carbs
Carbs provide the fuel that our muscles need to function, and they are therefore necessary for your diet. The yellow container is equivalent to 1/2 a cup, and it holds the healthy carbs and starches that you need to boost your energy.
Blue container for healthy fats and cheeses
If you want to lose weight you should cut down on fats; but don't eliminate them completely. The blue container is equal to a 1/4 cup, and it holds the healthy fats that you need to regulate your cholesterol metabolism and fuel your muscles.
Two orange containers for seeds and dressings
The orange containers are by far the smallest, and they hold as much seeds and dressings as a tablespoon will hold.
Shakeology cup
As a bonus, you will also get a shakeology cup, which you can use to carry your highly nutritious protein drink. The shakeology drink is the perfect way to start your day, as it will fill you up and leave you energized.
You asked about the 21 Day Fix containers, and I have given you everything you need to know about these containers. You can now start your nutritional journey!

10 Health Benefits Of Yoga
Over the last decade yoga has established itself as a mainstream exercise and relaxation practice. While you may love to go to yoga classes, you might not be aware of the full extent of health benefits that practicing yoga can afford to you.
Ten Health Benefits Of Yoga
Improves Flexibility
Improved flexibility is perhaps the most obvious benefit of yoga. Due to the stretching movements and poses that are involved yoga, you have the chance to stretch out stiff and tired muscles that are often neglected by other exercise routines.
Soon enough you will begin to witness your flexibility improve.
Increases Strength And Endurance
There are several styles of yoga that promote strength and endurance, including the vigorous ashtanga and power yoga, and the less intense hatha and lyengar.
These yoga styles improve your muscle tone, increase your core strength, and boost your endurance, by forcing you into poses that build up your muscles. A few examples of the poses I am speaking of include the upward dog, the downward dog, the chair pose, and the plank pose.
Corrects Posture And Balance
If you slouch a lot, fall often, and carry yourself with a poor posture, yoga is probably the way in which you can improve your stance and balance.
This is achieved through sitting and standing poses which work to strengthen your core muscles, which are vital in maintaining the correct posture and improving balance. Additionally, individuals who participate in yoga are more likely to realize that they are slumping, allowing them to quickly correct their posture.
Betters Your Breathing
As we all know yoga presents itself as a great method of relaxation, as it calls for breathing techniques that cause you to unwind and de-stress.
All of these techniques make your breathing easier even when you are not in the middle of a yoga session.
Decreases Stress
In a continuation from the point above, yoga is used by many as a way to relax especially after a hectic day.
Using the breathing and meditative techniques outlined by yoga practitioners, you can now relax your mind and relieve yourself of stress with ease.
Strengthens Your Heart
If you suffer from high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, and a rapid heart rate, then yoga should definitely be on your radar.
This is because the meditation undertaken in yoga works to create a healthier and stronger heart, with less chance of heart disease and strokes.
Protects Your Spine
The spinal disks in our backs act as shock absorbers that protect our vertebrae from injury and damage. Yoga styles like asana are composed of several poses like twists, forward-bends, and backbends, which ensure that our spinal disks are kept agile.
Prevents The Breakdown Of Cartilage And Joints
When you practice yoga, your joints are taken through a full range of motions that increases your overall flexibility. This also works to avert disabilities and degenerative diseases like arthritis.
Additionally, when you practice yoga the cartilage between your joints is kept from wearing out, so that the cartilage structure and function remains at its prime.
Reinforces Bones
It is always important to take care of your bone health, and yoga is one way of ensuring this. Weight-bearing exercise techniques have been proven to strengthen bones in addition to preventing diseases like osteoporosis, making yoga a great way of sustaining your bone health.
Yoga poses like upward facing dog and downward facing dog require you to bear your weight, and this strengthens arm bones, increases bone density in your vertebrae, and keeps calcium in your bones.
Boosts Your Immune System
You can boost your immune system by practicing yoga in two main ways: meditation and stretching. To begin with, meditation allows you to regulate your immune system, giving you the chance to raise it when it is needed and lowering it when it is called for.
Furthermore, stretching and contracting your muscles as you go through your yoga postures helps you drain lymph. This action aids the lymphatic system in fighting infections, disposing of toxic waste (by products of cellular functioning), and destroying cancerous cells.
So if you are passionate about yoga, go ahead and continue practicing it. But if you have never tried it and would like to live a long and healthy life, then yoga is the way to go. The ten health benefits above more than prove how advantageous it is to incorporate yoga into your life.Read More
Discover the Top Five 21 Day Fix Tips
If you are just starting out on the 21 day fix program, then you might be looking for some help on how to make the most out of this program. Thankfully, I have immersed myself in 21 day fix, and that makes me privy to some great tips that you can use to make the program simple and more enjoyable.
So if you want to know some insider tips about the 21 day fix program, continue reading this post.
21 Day Fix Tips and Tricks
1. Always create a plan
Planning is important in all aspects of your life, as it allows you to bring order to a chaotic schedule. It is therefore important for you to carefully plan out your 21 day fix diet and workout, so that your time spent following this program is much easier.
By planning you also get the most out of the program, as you know what you are doing and what goal you are trying to achieve. Start by reading the manual that comes with the program, and study the containers so that you can quickly get a hang of portion control.
2. Gather a variety of recipes
There is nothing more off-putting then eating the same bland meal day after day. In fact, many people are scared of following nutritional programs because they believe that they will be stuck eating food that they do not like.
In order to stick with 21 day fix, you need to start collecting recipes on appetizing foods that are allowed by the program. In this way you are eating delicious food that keeps you healthy, and therefore you are less likely to fall off the wagon.
3. Drink your shakeology
Many people falsely believe that the shakeology drink is a suggestion, when in actual fact it is a requirement of the program. The shakeology drink has amazing health benefits, and it is therefore crucial for you to incorporate the drink into your nutritional plan.
If you are looking to fill up on nutrients and boost your energy at the same time, then shakeology is the answer for you.
4. Don't forget to work out
Another common mistake that people make is focusing solely on the nutritional portion of the program. However, the 21 day fix program has been designed as diet and a workout, and neglecting the workout will only make it harder for you to reach your weight loss goals.
It is therefore important for you to dive into your workout schedule, and take part in all of those intense exercises that burn calories and build muscles.
5. Join a support group
Losing weight is one of the toughest challenges you can put yourself through, and many a time you will think about quitting. The 21 day fix program is very intense, and I know for a fact that the first few days will have you longing for your old lifestyle. But you should never give up!
Because it is difficult to motivate yourself in a tough situation, join a support group where you can have people that can lift you up when you are feeling down. 21 day fix support groups also give you someone to be accountable to if you do not meet your goals, and they can also provide tips and advise that will be helpful on your journey.
By implementing these tips into your hammer and chisel program, you will find that your journey is easier and much more fun. This program is worthwhile, trust me!Read More
Zyppah Review: Is it the Fix to your Snoring Problems?
Snoring is a big problem for nearly half of the population, disrupting your sleep and the sleep of those around you. Getting your noisy snoring to stop is therefore a blessing for you and those with whom you share a household, unfortunately, a problem arises when it comes to finding a solution for your snoring.
There are several options you have, include natural remedies, medical devices, and surgery, and each method comes with its own benefits and drawbacks.
That is why below we are going to look at the Zyppah device in greater detail, as we try and establish whether it can solve your snoring problems.
The Zyppah device was developed by dentist Dr. Jonathan Greenburg, who has decades of experience in the aforementioned industry. For the last 10 years Dr. Greenburg has studied snoring and sleep apnea, and the Zyppah device is the result of his research.
Dr. Greenburg is also the owner of ' U Snore No More' centers in Encino, Newport Beach, Beverly Hills, Valencia, and Pasadena. There is no probably no one who knows more about sleep apnea, snoring, and CPAP intolerance.
Zyppah Devices
There are 2 Zyppah devices available to you, the first being the Over-The Counter version which requires no prescription, and the second being the prescribed version.
While the first Zyppah device is used to solely treat snoring, the second device will need to be custom fitted by a professional at one of the Snore No More Centers I mentioned above.
How Does It Work?
The first thing you need to be made aware of is that the Over-The Counter Zyppah device is not used as a treatment for sleep apnea, but rather as a way to treat your snoring. This oral device uses an elastic band and a mandibular advancement feature to reduce the sound of snoring, and in some cases eliminate the sound entirely.
To simplify this even further, the Zyppah device holds your tongue down using a rubber strap, and then moves your jaw forward. The elastic band prevents your tongue from blocking your air passages as you sleep, while the jaw advancement results in the tightening of muscles and tissues at the back of your throat so that snoring does not occur.
Things To Know Before Using It
Before you use the Zyppah device it is recommended for you to consult with a doctor, so that you can determine whether there are any underlying issues to your snoring e.g. obstructive sleep apnea.
This is because using an Over-The Counter device to treat a sleeping disorder without the doctor's approval can be dangerous to your health.
The Zyppah device advertises itself as one that offers 8 hours of sleep and 0 snoring immediately you begin to use it. So does this oral device keep its promise? Here are the advantages of using this device:
- Many users of the Zyppah claim that the device has greatly reduced their snoring.
- The tongue stabilizing strap does not trigger your gag reflex, because the positioning of the elastic band does is non-interfering.
- The Zyppah makes use of the boil and bite technology. When you drop the Zyppah into hot water and then let it cool before popping it in your mouth, you give it the chance to conform to the contours of your teeth.
This easy custom fitting technique reduces the chance of the device falling out of your mouth as you sleep.
- The Zyppah is slightly intimidating to look at, but the truth is that there are no fun-looking oral appliances.
- It will take a few days for you to get used to wearing the Zyppah. In the beginning you may experience tenderness in your jaw; however this discomfort should soon ease up.
- The anti-snoring device is slightly expensive, especially when compared to similar devices on the market. However, you also need to take into consideration the two-tone design of this device, which makes it unique.
- The Zyppah does not allow you to adjust the mandibular advancement feature.
Final Verdict
As you can see from the review above, the Zyppah device is a one of a kind oral device that works tirelessly to suppress the noise of your snoring. Though this device has a few drawbacks, it works well to eliminate the awkward tongue and jaw positioning that promotes snoring.
So if you are looking to invest in an anti-snoring device, the Zyppah is the way to go.Read More

A Few Tips On How To Stay Healthy
Living a healthy lifestyle is the dream of every man and woman. We live in a world where being fit is no longer optional but rather mandatory. However seeing fitness trainers on TV with ripped abs is not doing the average person any good; especially if you have no time or money to improve your lifestyle.
That is why below I will give you quick and easy tips on how to stay healthy this year. Enjoy!
How To Be Healthy In A Few Easy Steps
1. Rethink your attitude
If you are looking to take on a healthy lifestyle, then the first thing you need to do is create a positive mindset and attitude. You cannot become healthy if you are constantly thinking about how hard the process is, and how long the results will take to begin showing.
When you rethink your attitude so that you have a positive outlook on healthy living, then the process of achieving this better lifestyle will be much easier. Once you begin feeling healthy on the inside, you will start showing results on the outside.
You should start by surrounding yourself with friends and family who support your goals. You cannot focus on healthy living if the people around you are constantly smoking, eating junk food, and drinking excessively. Once you are surrounded by a great group of people, find a healthy role model who can constantly inspire your new lifestyle.
2. Catch Up On Your Sleep
Believe it or not, sleep deprivation is one of the leading reasons why people are unhealthy. The recommended sleeping duration is 7 to 9 hours, yet most people sleep for an average of 6.5 hours. This lack of sleep means that your body is not functioning at maximum capacity, and increases your chances of becoming sick.
So go to bed early today, and catch up on that sleep you have been missing out on.
3. Consume More Milk
This is a tip for everyone who is not lactose intolerant. Milk and dairy products such as yoghurt and cheese are rich in proteins, as well as Vitamins A and B12. The dairy sources are also a great way of taking in calcium which is excellent for strong bones.
By drinking more milk, you are ensuring that your immune system is in top-notch condition at all times.
4. Add Fruit And Veg To Your Diet
I understand the allure of comfort food, especially when it is cold outside and you have just had a bad day. But instead of taking in junk food that is not good for you, you should rummage in your kitchen for veggies and fruit.
5 portions of veggies and fruit per day has numerous health benefits, such as an improved digestive system, clearer skin, enhanced energy levels, reduced body fat, and increased metabolism. So the next time you are itching for a sugary treat or a savory snack, grab a carrot, a stick of celery or an orange; you will not regret it!
5. Eat A Large Breakfast
A popular misconception is that dinner should be the heaviest meal of the day. That is why you will find most people having light breakfasts and hearty dinners; unfortunately this is not the way your meals should be divided.
Having a large breakfast rich in protein, starch and fiber is not only a way of filling yourself first thing in the morning, it is also the easiest way of giving your body the necessary fuel it needs to carry you through the day.
Do you have a work colleague who is always grumpy in the morning? Best guess is that they had a dissatisfying breakfast and are therefore feeling lethargic.
Additionally, if you fill up at breakfast, there is less chance of you getting hungry mid-morning, and snacking on unhealthy treats.
6. Stop Sitting Around
With the amount of amazing TV shows that flood our screens, it has become tough to tear ourselves away from the couch. Lounging around is comfortable, unfortunately it is also the number one route to an unhealthy lifestyle.
Instead get up, head out with your family, and participate in some regular exercise. This may sound boring to you, but there are plenty of fun activities which you can take part in, such as ice skating, walks through the park, bike rides, swimming, and volleyball on your local beach.
Regular exercise is a great stress reliever, which also works to control your body weight and improve your immune system. 30 minutes daily will yield amazing results.
7. Quit Smoking
This should be no surprise to anyone, but smoking is a highly unhealthy habit that increases your chances of getting sick. That is why you need to stop smoking right away, as hard as this action may be. Once you have quit smoking, the chances of health risks in the future (such as cancer) reduce dramatically.
If you are not a smoker, ensure you stay away from smokers as secondhand smoke is just as deadly.
8. Don't Drink Too Much Alcohol
Everyone likes a good party; however the excessive consumption of alcohol is harmful to our health. Men should consume no more than 21 units of alcohol each week, while women should drink no more than 14 units of alcohol each week.
You can divide this further to say that men should have no more than 4 units daily, and women no more than 3 units daily, with two alcohol-free days for each gender.
And remember, never drink and drive!
9. Exercise Your Mind
When we talk about being healthy, we are not just talking about keeping your body in check. A healthy mind is necessary for good emotional health, and also decreases the chance of you getting Alzheimer's. A few ways to keep your mind limber include reading more, alternating your book genres, changing up your daily routine, solving strategies, playing/learning instruments, and challenging yourself with games of strategy.
With the tips I have given you above, not only should you start feeling better as each day passes, your chance of heart disease, strokes, cancer, diabetes, liver problems and lung problems reduces dramatically.
So go out and begin living a healthy lifestyle today!Read More

As per the guidelines, you can use Kyrobak thrice a day, but make sure that the time window between all the sessions is at least a few hours. Furthermore, the machine can handle maximum weight of 320 lbs and you can use it along with a pacemaker as well. Most importantly, pregnant women are strictly advised not to use this product and for those who are below 18, consultation of physician is strongly advised.
Is Kyrobak a scam?
Statistics state that back pain is probably the second-most reason why people visit physicians. But there are number of questions that have been raised to the manufacturers regarding the credibility of this product. First of all the price, can the price be justified as it does not come exactly cheap. There were two separate studies that were conducted on Kyrobak. The first one was conducted with 16 participants, however the results were not disclosed to the public. But the results of the second one, case study which consisted of 28 participants was shown and it revealed that all of the participants reported less back pain.
Fingers have been pointed at Radiancy Inc. who were manufactures of the product No! No! Pro Hair Remover. The reviews of the product No! No! Pro Hair Remover were mostly negative and as a result, the image of the firm took a beating and now they have changed their brand name and released the Kyrobak.
The manufacturers of Kyrobak, PhotoMedex also came under fire with its stock offerings, staff disputes and even faced lawsuits.
We recommend that you go through the privacy policy before purchasing Kyrobak. One of the clauses states that the firm might solicit you, probably via email, phone or snail mail regarding other services and products offered by them. To add to this, your information may be provided to other supposedly "reputable" firms that act as third parties. Although, the "triple guarantee" definitely earns some brownie points from us, you may end up losing your privacy on purchasing Kyrobak.
Pros and Cons
No firm can ever produce a flawless product. There may be one or two flaws, and same applies to Kyrobak. On one side, the product has been reviewed by hundreds of buyers as credible and effective to relieve lower back pain, with a strong "triple guarantee", but on the other hand, some of the reviews have been negative. Since the privacy policy openly highlights the fact that your details may be passed on to third parties, this might not sit well with you and many others who will consider it as a breach of privacy. Those who have bought the product state that $319.90 might be a little too expensive for the product, and many consider it to be a scam. But owing to the guarantees, it is a safe investment, we recommend you try!
Even if the reviews of Kyrobak are quite contrasting, we have safely tested and assure you it is a great investment for those who are desperately looking for a way to tackle back pain. There are hardly any products that offer a triple guarantee, covering purchase costs, shipping and return costs as well. If you are planning to buy this product, then you can check out the video link that has been shared below. It will give you an idea of how the positioning of this machine happens.
Since the mechanism used by this machine is somewhat different and probably, more effective than a chiropractic session, we would like to urge you to give it a try and see if it helps you with your back pain. And just in case you are not satisfied with the product, you can always use the triple guarantee provided by them. By doing that, all of your money spent on the product will be refunded back. If you are more prone to back pain, Kyrobak might be the best and most effective solution for you.Read More

GENEVA, Ala. (AP) -- Heavy rains have forced officials to close roads and school systems in south Alabama, and more storms are on the way.
Downpours left roads covered with water in the southeastern corner of the state, and schools were closed in Geneva and Wilcox counties on Tuesday because of flooding.
The National Weather Service says parts of central Alabama have received as much as 6 inches of rain since Sunday, and some areas could get another 2 or 3 inches before the storms end Wednesday.
South Alabama is under a flash flood watch, and some areas are under flash flood warnings.

The 10 Most Disappointing Movies Of 2011
There were plenty of movies from this year that I absolutely loved and others that I absolutely hated, but theres a very special category that exists between both of those ends: the ones that left me utterly disappointed. While I always enter a movie theater hoping to love the hell out of whatever Im watching, the truth is that there are some films that I spend a lot of time thinking about and anticipating, only to be left frustrated at the end.

Weekend Box Office: Audiences Hand Victory To Immortals
From the stylized fighting to the over abundance of enhanced abs, it's hard not to draw comparisons between 300 and this weekend's new entry Immortals. But one place where the two diverge is box office performance. While Immortals banked a decent $32 million, it fell short of the $70 million the highly anticipated 300 opened to back in 2007.

Leonardo DiCaprio Gets Patriotic In Two New J. Edgar Posters
The first poster is fine if not overly simple, but I really like the second poster. Not only do I love the added color scheme, but the texture on Leonardo DiCaprio's face - which, close up, looks like its been taken off a dollar bill - is amazing. This proves that it doesn't take much to turn an ordinary poster into an awesome one.

First Trailer For Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar Starring Leonardo DiCaprio
Clint Eastwood might be over 80 years old, but he's not showing any signs of slowing down. The Oscar winning filmmaker has averaged one movie a year since 2002 - making two films in both 2006 and 2008 - and has always managed to earn award buzz even before anyone has seen his new movie. But for the first time in years, Eastwood is coming back from a critical disappointment. So how has decided to rebound? With a biopic about the life and times of J. Edgar Hoover.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) -- The stories behind the Saint Louis University exorcism have been the most popular on KSDK.com this week, and we thought the story behind the story was one worth sharing.
The 1949 exorcism performed by Jesuits at SLU on a 13-year-old boy was the inspiration for the famous book and movie, "The Exorcist". It's the most well-documented exorcism in modern history.
The 29-page diary of the event, recorded by Father Raymond Bishop, is considered the primary source for this bizarre chapter.
It's not for the faint of heart.
The scholarly observations of paranormal events by Fr. Bishop and several others clearly informed and guided author William Peter Blatty for his best-selling novel, which the movie is based on.
The episode started at the boy's home in Maryland and only worsened when the family moved in with relatives in north St. Louis County. The exorcism continued at SLU and ended at Alexian Brothers Hospital in South St. Louis. The diary was stashed in a desk in the locked-up room where the exorcism ended.
Here's an excerpt from the diary:
"At midnight, the Fathers planned to give "R" (the boy) Holy Communion, but Satan would have no part of it. Even while the institution of the Blessed Sacrament was explained to "R" his body was badly scratched and branded. The word "HELL" was printed on his chest and thigh."
According to the book "Possessed" by author Thomas B. Allen, the diary was likely never meant to see the light of day.
Allen writes:
"In St. Louis, Bishop's diary remained a secret in the security room on the fifth floor of the Alexian Brothers Hospital---a room that, for some reason, contained a copy of the diary---remained locked. Everyone who worked in the hospital, from the thirty or more Brothers on the hall to the laymen in maintenance shops, knew why the room was locked.
"As the years went by, tales about the locked room were passed on to the new Brothers who came to the hospital. They knew that the room was in the wing for extremely ill mental patients. Brother Bruno and the others who had worked in this wing were certainly used to dealing with madness there. So why the locked room? In a wing of madmen, what kind of madness could keep that one room locked?"
That wing of Alexian Brothers Hospital was demolished in 1978.
Allen writes:
"The (demolition) worker handed the (diary) papers to his boss, who passed it on to the administrator of the hospital, a layman. The administrator read the letter, which was signed by Father Raymond J. Bishop, a Jesuit from Saint Louis University. Then the administrator turned the pages of the diary. Words on the pages---Satan...diabolical...a huge red devil...exorcism...stunned him. Horrified, he realized that the report revealed the secret of the locked room."

Many parks exist due to the foresight of a few visionary individuals, including F.A. Seiberling. He donated more than 400 acres to expand Sand Run Metro Park. Land that he owned from 1920 to 1948 was purchased by Metro Parks in 1964 to become the Nature Realm.
Native son Seiberling founded Goodyear Tire & Rubber in 1898. The company produced bicycle and carriage tires and went on to capture the automobile tire business.
Seiberling's interests went well beyond tires. He helped form the original Akron Metropolitan Park District and was a member of the Board of Park Commissioners from 1924 to 1935.
Today, the Nature Realm is a special-use area that has been set aside for the study and enjoyment of nature. For the protection of this park and the safety and enjoyment of other visitors, please follow these simple guidelines:

Michael McHale: Industrial Chic Lighting
Store Profile
- Location: online only
- Specialty: One-of-a-kind industrial chic lighting
- Price range: ($$) Mid-Range - ($$$) High-End
- Website: michaelmchaledesigns.com/home
Store History
- Founded by: Michael McHale
Michael McHale walked into a design store one day to purchase a light fixture for his New York apartment. Unimpressed with either the materials or the message of what was on offer, he thought he could do a better job himself. What he ended up making proved to be more interesting than he had hoped. His choice of materials — industrial pipes and fittings drenched in fine crystal — conveyed a powerful message of what is capable of beauty when considered properly. The work became an affirmation of what's possible– much like McHale's own late artistic blooming.
Michael McHale's lighting is a unique mix of industrial style and cool elegance. By pairing plumbing pipe fittings with crystal embellishments, Michael has created light fixtures that walk the line between bohemian and luxury.
Michael McHale was an entertainment lawyer who made an unexpected career leap to lighting designer. While searching for a light fixture for his own apartment, McHale was disenchanted with the options available. When he set out to create his own fixture, he came up with the basis for his current designs - lamps that combine industrial plumbing pipe and fittings with luxurious crystals. McHale's chandeliers create an interesting juxtaposition - the hardness of the the steel pipes with the fragility and beauty of glimmering crystal pieces.
In addition to Michael McHale's higher end custom pieces, the designer has recently introduced his Tribeca Collection, which is priced for the retail market.
