Globular star clusters are among the oldest objects in our galaxy. Their beauty is easily discerned through amateur telescopes that resolve tightly packed swarms of glistening stars, suspended in the night sky like Christmas ornaments. More than 150 globular star clusters are known to be associated with the Milky Way Galaxy. Each cluster contains hundreds of thousands to a million stars within a volume of 10 to 30 light-years across.
In 1918, Harlow Shapley recognized the existence and structure of globular clusters. By studying the clusters' distribution in the sky and by measuring their distances, he was able to deduce the location of the center of the Milky Way Galaxy and the Sun's distance from it. In the 1930s, Edwin P. Hubble discovered globular clusters in the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy, and since then globular star clusters have been found surrounding many other galaxies.
Globular clusters reside within a spherical volume of space called the "galactic halo," which surrounds the disk of our galaxy. The clusters orbit around the galactic center, taking millions of years to complete their highly elongated, randomly oriented orbits. Most globular clusters wander as far as 90,000 to 120,000 light-years from the galactic center, and some extend as far as 300,000 light-years out. The motions of these distant objects, influenced by the gravitational pull of the entire galaxy, allow astronomers to calculate the amount of mass in the galaxy. Some recent estimates reveal that the galaxy is 500 billion times the mass of the Sun. This estimate is significantly higher than the mass contributed by visible stars and nebulae alone, indicating that there is a great amount of unseen dark matter in the galaxy.
When compared to the Sun and other stars of the galactic disk, globular cluster stars appear to be deficient in heavy elements. This indicates that they are ancient objects, made from the pristine gas that condensed to form the galaxy long ago. Although chemical composition differs from one cluster to the next, all stars within a given cluster have similar compositions, indicating that they were born from the same cloud. This provides a unique opportunity for the study of stellar evolution. Yet each star began life with a different mass. By observing the luminosity and temperatures of their current states, astronomers are learning a great deal about the life cycles of stars.
Globular clusters contain mostly low-mass stars that are so tightly packed together that the density of stars near the center is about two stars per cubic light-year. In comparison, our solar neighborhood has about one star per 300 cubic light-years. If you were looking into the sky from a hypothetical planet in the middle of a globular cluster, like M4, you would be surrounded in a perpetual twilight cast by the light of thousands of nearby stars.

Victor Villegas Arriaga was charged with assault on a public servant, a third degree felony, and attempting to take a firearm from a peace officer, a state jail felony.
A conviction on a third degree felony carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
The state jail felony could result in a two-year sentence in a state jail facility and a $10,000 fine.
In a complaint filed by Beeville Police Department detectives Art Gamez and Chris Vasquez, Arriaga was accused of having kicked Detective Greg Baron while Baron was trying to arrest him during an incident on April 17.
The second count alleged that the defendant attempted to take Gamez's firearm during the arrest.
Bond was set by District Judge Starr Bauer at $25,000.
Others indicted on third degree and state jail felonies included:
•Timothy Michael Chambers in a two-count indictment on charges of tampering with physical evidence and possession of a controlled substance, less than one gram.
According to a complaint filed by a Bee County Sheriff's Office investigator, Chambers, 27, tried to hide some methamphetamine he allegedly had on Sept. 6, 2012.
Ironically, the possession of the drug charge is a state jail felony.
The alleged tampering with evidence is a third degree felony.
Bond was $20,000.
•Joanthony Zamora on a charge of continuous violence against the family.
The charge is a third degree felony.
According to a BPD detective, Zamora hit, kicked and choked a woman with whom he had a dating relationship on Nov. 4, 2013.
His bond was set at $10,000 by District Judge Joel Johnson.
•Ignacio Gomez, Jr. on a charge of driving while intoxicated, third or more.
The charge is a third degree felony.
According to a complaint filed by a BPD officer, the defendant was operating a motor vehicle on April 13 while under the influence of alcohol.
Gomez had previous DWI convictions on Nov. 10, 1998, and on April 19, 2006, both in Bee County.
Bond was $5,000 with DWI conditions.
•Jason Dwayne Burt was named in two separate indictments on charges of theft, $1,500-$20,000, and criminal mischief.
Both charges are state jail felonies.
According to county investigators, Burt, 38, stole a motorcycle from a local man on June 24, 2013, and used a bypass device on an American Electric Power meter to keep from paying for electricity on Feb. 18, 2013.
Bond was $10,000.
•Dedra Annette Ables was named in a four-count indictment on three charges of forgery and one charge of theft.
All four counts are state jail felonies.
A state investigator alleged that the 31-year-old suspect forged financial documents on Jan. 2, Jan. 8 and Dec. 4, 2013, and stole currency worth between $1,500 and $20,000 from a local woman on Jan. 2, 2013.
Bond was $5,000.

InnoDB implements a checkpoint mechanism known
as "fuzzy" checkpointing.
flushes modified database pages from the buffer pool in small
batches. There is no need to flush the buffer pool in one single
batch, which would in practice stop processing of user SQL
statements during the checkpointing process.
During crash recovery,
InnoDB looks for a
checkpoint label written to the log files. It knows that all
modifications to the database before the label are present in the
disk image of the database. Then
InnoDB scans
the log files forward from the checkpoint, applying the logged
modifications to the database.
InnoDB writes to its log files on a rotating
basis. It also writes checkpoint information to the first log file
at each checkpoint. All committed modifications that make the
database pages in the buffer pool different from the images on
disk must be available in the log files in case
InnoDB has to do a recovery. This means that
InnoDB starts to reuse a log file, it has
to make sure that the database page images on disk contain the
modifications logged in the log file that
InnoDB is going to reuse. In other words,
InnoDB must create a checkpoint and this often
involves flushing of modified database pages to disk.
The preceding description explains why making your log files very large may reduce disk I/O in checkpointing. It often makes sense to set the total size of the log files as large as the buffer pool or even larger. The disadvantage of using large log files is that crash recovery can take longer because there is more logged information to apply to the database.

Houston won't be playing tonight because of an injured quad. Not a good sign for the comeback.
New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors
Tonight @ 7:00pm ET
Welcome to the official MSG33 pregame show. Im your host the Gold Mac 10 and Ill be doing Knicks game threads through out the year. Its a brand new season after the knicks look to put last year.....actually, the last 4 or 5 years behind them. Isiah Thomas is no longer the head man in charge. Donnie Walsh is now the gm, and the new coach of the Knicks is Mike D'antoni. Mike won 50 or more games 4 years straight with the Phoenix Suns. But now he no longer has Amare Stoudamire and Steve Nash on his team.
All reports from the media indicate that Mike D'antoni and the knicks are confident about this season. Mike has spoken about how the talent on this roster has impressed him, specifically Nate Robinson and Jared Jeffries. Not so sure what impressive about Jeffries, but we cant forget about Danilo Gallinari, one of the newest and most notable offseason acquisitions. Also referred to as the Big ****, Gallinari is known for having a good basketball iq, alot of heart, being able to drive the ball, shoot well, pass, and leadership. I believe he is playing tonight, but i do not know as a fact. Either way, I look forward to watching the Big **** grow and develop as a player.
2008-09 New York Knicks

Dan Grunfeld gets a thumbdown, kick that maggot off the team. Roberson too, we dont need him. While their at it, how about Jared jeffries, malik rose, and eddy curry. These guys are all useless. Jerome James >> Curry
Expected Starters for Tonights Game
At Point guard, Chris Duhon
At Shooting guard, Jamal Crawford
At Small Forward, Quentin Richardson
At Power Forward, Zach Randolph
At Center, David Lee
No one cares about the Craptors, all there is to know about them is that they have chris bosh, jose calderon, and they traded TJ ford for Jermaine O'neal. They have some other good role players too.

*I will not have as much time to make the game threads this year. Anyone whos interested in being my partner (no homo) can contact me by responding in this thread or private messaging me.
Keep up that work MSG, I would help but I'm real busy with other things, but I contribute in other ways towards this site/forum. Someone give MSG a hand with this!
Let's see how it goes tonight-
yes, finally, game threads...
Anyone know if this game is on NBATV 2night? Or on the web?
Was watching the lakers vs jazz last night... reminded me of Frye over Bynum.
Toronto is tougher upfront with Bosh and O'Neal.. both should be a challenge for Lee and Randolph. Likewise, Calderon will test our guards. On the otehr hand, it would've been nice to see El Gallo against Andrea a la Roman Gladiators.
I'm eager to see how Duhon, JC and Stephon run together.

desde la cuna del chango
found this non-Knick perspective on things
Title: Circus in Town
Article in today's Toronto Sun
by Ryan Wolstat
Just as New York is the city that never sleeps, the Knicks are the team that is never without controversy.
The Knicks, in town tonight as the Raptors make their home exhibition debut, just went through a typically tumultuous off-season.
Isiah Thomas finally was forced out after years of bungling, but longtime Pacers executive Donnie Walsh came in and gave former Phoenix Suns coach Mike D'Antoni a whopping four-year, $24-million US deal. Never mind that the current roster doesn't suit D'Antoni's run-and-gun style at all.
D'Antoni also must deal with highly paid wildcards Stephon Marbury and Eddy Curry.
Marbury and the club have been engaged in a cold war for months now. At one point it seemed certain that the Knicks would buy out Marbury and eat the remaining $21 million on his contract.
Walsh threw serious cash at former Chicago Bulls starter Chris Duhon, a less talented, but defensively superior player, and D'Antoni also has praised diminutive backup point guard Nate Robinson as a "scary athlete."
Marbury, the only former all-star on the New York roster, said earlier this week that he sees himself as the team's starter at the point and disregarded speculation that Duhon and Robinson had moved ahead of him on the depth chart.
"You can't assess it yet," Marbury said.
"When the 29th comes, when the lights come on, it will be different. It doesn't matter now who is on the court at what position. I know when the game starts, I'll have the ball or I'll be receiving the ball to make plays for others and myself."
However, Marbury backtracked yesterday, going out of his way to tell Marc Berman of the New York Post he is willing to come off the bench if it will make the team better.
"I don't want to go through any more distractions," Marbury said. "I want all of us to concentrate on winning and not if I'm going to start or not. If the Knicks want me to come off the bench, that's what I'm going to do. I just want to win a championship in New York because we as New Yorkers deserve a chip."
Even if that soap opera is now somewhat resolved, the Knicks must also deal with Curry. Curry reported for training camp out of shape and then came down with a bacterial infection.
The 6-foot-11, 285-pounder will not start tonight and might be usurped as the team's starting centre by the sleeker and much more athletic David Lee, a prototypical D'Antoni player.
Curry, who has three years and $31.5 million remaining on his deal, said yesterday that, like Marbury, he would prefer to start, but would deal with whatever decision D'Antoni makes.
The Knicks also have loose canon Zach Randolph on their roster and still are waiting for highly touted No. 6 overall selection Danilo Gallinari to find his health. The Italian forward missed training camp with a back injury.
desde la cuna del chango
ill make a few threads, justlet me kno in advance
just to see how small we can go, I'd like to see all guards for like 3 minutes
Duhon, Nate, Steph, Crawford and QRich all at once... just for fun!!! no defense, just outrun the other guys till they drop and then bring in Curry, Randolph, Lee, Chandler and Mardy.
jeeezez, it's not even 420 and I'm orbiting as you can see.
desde la cuna del chango
it seems the game on NBA TV will be Celtics and Sixers... that sux
desde la cuna del chango
1) I could help make some of the threads. I haven't been on this site as much as I used to, but I could help every once in awhile.
2) I have to give a lot of credit to Mike D'Antoni for benching Eddy Curry. Isiah Thomas should've done this last year, but he was too stupid to do it. I don't know what Mike D'Antoni sees in Jared Jeffries, but I prefer Jeffries over Curry; he actually plays defense, and he's a better passer than Curry.
Jeremon Linbury
I give him credit for that too but i dont like the way hes suckin duhorns dikk. Duhoe aint on the same level as marbury, but because he pushed to get him signed hes going "save face" style, smh
I heard Kenny was out as well. Lets see what happens tonight vs the Raps.
Im Seein some nice chemistry between Lee and Randolph
Duhoe has 3 turnovers in the 1st half

Dr. Gary Williams of the Beeville Veterinary Hospital confirmed the incident Thursday.
According to Williams, the incident happened last week when a juvenile skunk followed a dog into its house through a doggie door and attacked the animal inside the residence.
The doctor said the dog actually lost a tooth in the attack.
Williams said the dog is being quarantined at his facility and is undergoing treatment.
A woman in the house touched the skunk to force it back outside the house.
"That's scary," Williams said. But he confirmed that the skunk did not bite the woman.
"I told her to go see her physician," Williams said. He was not sure if the woman was being required to undergo rabies shots.
The skunk was sent to the Texas Department of Health for testing, and they confirmed Thursday morning that the skunk tested positive for rabies.
Williams said the most important advice he could give pet owners is "have your animals vaccinated."
It is believed that this is the first confirmed case of rabies in Bee County in probably 12 years.

That perfect latte or cup of coffee starts with the person who prepares it.
And just as people have their favorite coffee beverage, they also have their favorite barista. Coffee connoisseurs develop loyalties to their baristas, such as is the case with Joe Thompson at Roast & Toast in Petoskey.
"I have been here for seven years and I make a lot of coffee and coffee drinks for people everyday, so I have built quite a following," said Thompson.
But Thompson is quick to credit his fellow baristas as well.
"It is not just me, it is the others who work here as well. Plus it is the vibe here at Roast & Toast that attracts people."
It was that "vibe" that initially attracted a then 17-year-old Thompson to start hanging out at Roast & Toast while in high school.
"I grew up in Alanson, but always hung out in Petoskey, and one day I walked into Roast & Toast and felt at home," said Thompson. "The staff was really friendly, all the other people in the place seemed cool and the coffee drinks were delicious, so it became my hangout."
"After three years of hanging out they eventually offered me a job. I started washing dishes and eventually progressed into preparing food, and then to making coffee drinks," said Thompson. He started at 20 – or seven years ago.
While he was given some initial training on how to make coffee drinks he has done his fair share of experimenting.
"I am constantly blending together different bean flavors trying to come up with new drinks and cool names," said Thompson. "I also pride myself in getting people to try new drinks."
As to why he feels he was voted the Best Barista in the Petoskey region, Thompson attributes it to quickness and quality.
"I think I am successful because I am fast and the drinks taste good," said Thompson. "We get two types of people in: The person on the go who wants their drinks quickly but also expects the quality. The other type of person is the one coming in for a break, they want to sit down and relax, read or converse with friends and enjoy a beverage.
"Regardless of the type, quality is the key."
Thompson adds that there is an art to getting the perfect cup of coffee.
"It is importance to get the right balance of grounds when making a pot of coffee. We have it set with our grinder to make the right amount for the perfect pot of coffee," said Thompson. "If you put too much in it, it is going to be bitter and not taste good and if you don't have enough grounds in it, it will be watery. So you have to experiment with your coffeemaker at home to know the right amount of grounds for the perfect pot."
While for some it is an acquired taste, Thompson feels the French Press is the way to go.
"My favorite way is the French Press," said Thompson. "It is delicious and I feel it is more full -flavor than coffee made in a pot that goes through a filter. It is definitely a bolder cup. We serve a lot of coffee via the French Press. People like ordering them and you get to choose your beans and we grind them for you. It is a nice feeling having that press right at your table."
While a big fan of straight espresso Thompson prefers it only occasionally.
"I do like espresso and before I worked here I drank lots of it and then even more when I first started," said Thompson. "Now I just have it every so often and I think I really appreciate it a lot more by not drinking it everyday."
Fancy designs on top of the latte or other coffee drinks is often a sign of a great barista but Thompson proves that is not always the case.
"I don't make fancy designs with my drinks only because I have not taken the time to learn. We have people here who have taken a class and know how to do it," said Thompson.
Despite not liking sweeteners in his coffee Thompson does enjoy the occasional fancy coffee drink.
"I used to drink the Dirty Irishman a lot, which is a café latte with créme de coca, Irish Créme and fresh whipping cream. My taste buds have changed and I don't prefer sweet drinks as much anymore," said Thompson. "But I still enjoy this one on occasion."
For Thompson, working at Roast & Toast he has not developed "donut shop or candy store syndrome," (where the employees get tired of and won't eat the products they make).
"I love coffee and being around it everyday," said Thompson. "There isn't a day when I don't want to drink coffee, make coffee drinks for the people or come into work. I am fortunate I love my job and I get to drink and make coffee for a living."
Roast & Toast is located at 309 East Lake St. in downtown Petoskey. Check out roastandtoast.com for more information.

Baked Custard
Makes 2 servings
Getting started Equipment you will need: whisk/fork, small bowl, spoon, two 6 oz. custard cups, 8x8-inch pan, knife Preheat oven to 350° Do right away when you get home: Action steps 1 & 2
1 egg
1 cup milk
3 Tbsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1. Lightly beat egg with a whisk or fork in a small bowl.
2. Scald milk by microwaving for about 2 minutes. Add sugar, vanilla and salt (if desired) to milk. Temper eggs by adding a small amount of the warm milk mixture to the eggs first. Then add the rest of the milk mixture to the egg and stir until combined. 3. Pour mixture into two custard cups. Sprinkle with ground nutmeg.
4. Put about 1 inch of boiling water in an 8"x8" square pan. Place custard cups in pan of water. Bake at 350° for approximately 35 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Tips: Scalding the milk considerably decreases the baking time of the custard. It can also be done in a saucepan by bringing the milk almost to a boil. Tempering the eggs prevents them from being scrambled by the heat of the milk by gently heat egg yolks before adding to a hot mixture.
Check for: Eggs Milk Sugar Vanilla extract Ground nutmeg

Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News Corporation, in this file image.
LONDON -- Lawsuits over alleged phone hacking by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation are to be filed in United States courts for the first time.
Mark Lewis, the lawyer who has been at the forefront of efforts to expose phone hacking at newspapers opened by News Corporation's British subsidiary, expects to file civil lawsuits on behalf of three alleged victims.
One is believed to be connected to the late Diana, Princess of Wales and the Royal household while a second is linked to the England soccer team. The third is described as a "Hollywood case" because the individual was in contact with a celebrity. All three claim that the offenses took place while they were on American soil.
The threat of legal action in the U.S. is likely to expose News Corp to further embarrassing claims and bring the scandal closer to its headquarters in New York.
Timeline: News Corp and the phone hacking scandal
Lewis was flying to San Francisco Thursday, from where he will travel next week to New York in order to meet with U.S. lawyers to discuss the cases.
In an email to msnbc.com Lewis confirmed reports that he expects to bring three lawsuits on behalf of clients and a fourth alleging wrongdoing at News Corp. He told the Daily Beast on Wednesday that the fourth lawsuit would center on "perhaps the dirty tricks that might have been used in order to further the commercial aims for News Corporation."
At least one of the cases involves allegations that the phone of a U.S. citizen was hacked, and Lewis said more U.S. victims of phone hacking were likely to emerge.
He told the Daily Beast: "This is getting wider. It's not just the people who were A-list or celebrities, but people who were in their circles — people who might call them or work with them."
Meanwhile, police regulators in Britain on Thursday said senior detectives showed poor judgment in their close relationship with executives at Murdoch's News Of The World tabloid.
A former executive at the newspaper, which was shut down in July 2011 amid public outrage at phone hacking revelations, was appointed as an adviser to London's Metropolitan Police, and his daughter also secured a job with the force.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission said professional boundaries at the police force "became blurred," the BBC reported.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
The Detroit Tigers stormed back in 1987 after two middle-of-the-road seasons in '86 and '85. The team won 97 of its 162 games, and finished the regular season in first place becoming AL East Champions. Sparky brought the magic back to Motown until the upstart Twins upset them 4 games to 1 in the American League Championship series.

Wayne County Historical Society receives donation for Canal Park
HONESDALE, PA — Peter Rodgers, president of Rodgers-Olver-Polley, Inc., recently presented the Wayne County Historical Society (WCHS) with a donation of $1,000 for ongoing work at the Lock 31 Canal Park Project and renovation of the Daniels Farm at New Castle between White Mills and Hawley. The gift was made available through the Lebanon Valley Insurance Company Foundation, which has a long tradition of making annual gifts to qualifying 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations recommended by one of their agents. In accepting the donation, WCHS President Elaine Herzog commented on the support the project continues to enjoy, stating that "We've come a very long way in seeing this dream come true and look forward to sharing even more of what this special place along the towpath has to offer."
In August 2013, the Canal Park at Lock 31 opened to the public for the first time.

Pros and Cons of Living Trusts
Reasons to Choose a Living TrustHere are some of the top reasons people choose to use a living trust in their estate plans.
- Security. A living trust provides uninterrupted management of your assets if you become ill or incapacitated and have named a successor (back-up) trustee—eliminating the need for the courts to appoint a conservator or guardian.
- Privacy. A living trust avoids the costs and delays of probate—the state-sanctioned system that oversees the administration of your will. Avoiding probate means your heirs receive your estate faster. Plus, a living trust is not subject to public scrutiny, so your beneficiaries and the amounts they receive remain confidential.
- Flexibility. You have the freedom to amend, add to or even completely revoke the trust agreement as you wish.
- Professional management. You may choose to appoint a professional trustee such as a bank trust department or trust institution. This frees you from the worries of the day-to-day management of assets. Yet, if you choose to remain as co-trustee, you still may direct investment goals, including instructing your trustee to change investment strategies.
- Control. Living trusts allow you to control who will be the trust's beneficiaries and the trustee. Most likely you will name yourself as the trustee during your lifetime and maintain the right to appoint and select successor trustees and beneficiaries. You also control the income and principal and how much of it you wish to use during your lifetime.
- Tax savings. Although the assets in your living trust are subject to estate taxes, the trust may be drafted—just as a will can be—to make the most of federal estate tax exemptions. Plus, after your lifetime, the value of any assets distributed immediately to Gustavus Adolphus College completely eliminates federal estate tax.
|Learn how to prepare to draft your living trust and other estate planning documents.
The Downside of Living Trusts
- Initial expense. Legal fees for drafting a revocable living trust can be higher than those required to draft a will.
- Administrative tasks. There are administrative tasks associated with a revocable living trust (such as accountings, reports and distributing income).
- Tax considerations. Although assets inside a revocable living trust do avoid probate, they are still subject to estate taxes.
- Asset management. Trust language only protects assets held by the trust. Some assets cannot be transferred into a revocable living trust, such as IRAs, retirement plans and jointly owned assets. In addition, trust creators too often fail to transfer their eligible assets into the trust. For any assets that were inadvertently not transferred, a "pourover" will is necessary.
- Eliminating creditors. Creditors may not be eliminated as quickly with a trust. Probate is not always a process that should be avoided; in some states the process isn't expensive or time-consuming, and the typical six- to 12-month claims period shuts off estate creditors, thereby protecting your assets after the claims period.
- Adequate oversight. Without court supervision, there is little oversight, and trustees can fall guilty of fiduciary lapses.
If you'd like to include Gustavus Adolphus College in your living trust or other estate plans, please contact Laurie Dietrich at 507-933-6043 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The wedding season is starting right now……and as the last years, I have to go to a wedding this summer, like a lot of you, girls. Are you looking for a model? Before choosing your style, you have to pay attention to a lot of factors in order to make your search easier. These are the secrets to get an actual and perfect look, without looking weirdly serious and becoming the most fashionable guest.
As soon as I received the invitation I accounted for the hour and the kind of celebration. Morning wedding or evening wedding? This is the first detail I have to account for. If it's morning wedding I can dress the most spectacular pamela or touched, but never a night dress.
In my case, it is an evening wedding, so as a guest I am, I will choose a large dress, like the red carpet style, an unique gauze or satin design, with a little siren tail and jewels details on the cleavage. My role to follow is the actress Penélope Cruz, an icon with a score of 10. An event so romantic as this deserves a dress will match.
The dress colour is another detail I take care the most. White is reserved only for the bride, so don't come to the wedding of your best friend or your future sister in law with a white dress because it will mean being rude to her. Another colour that you prohibited in wedding protocol is black. Yes, it is a night colour, but it isn't correct for a wedding. For that reason, I start to look for a cheerful colour. I like pink or violet tones, but red is my favourite. It is stimulating, striking, appropiate for an event like this, and on this summery days. Without any doubt, a perfect choice.
The choice is done: large dress, red, average cleavage. It is a church wedding, so it isn't appropiate to wear a very open cleavage. The appropiate thing on the ceremony is wearing a chal half-transparent, in the same tone to hide your shoulders. But… keep your sexiest side for the dancing hour. Like accesories, a black clutch, black slippers and simple bun.
Runways are laying down glamour this summer 24 hours per day, and they are an example to see the looks. But, we aware of things like tone, length, shape and the fabric of your dress if you want to shine, but the most important thing is: never hide yourself and look as you really are. Be yourself.

Hi folks, four of us are booked into the Belforte House bed and breakfast hotel in Sale for next weekend.
I provisionally booked five single en suite rooms for Friday, Saturday and Sunday but now there are only four of us staying just on Fri/Sat.
So, if anybody wants to take the room off me, just send me a pm and we can discuss it.
It's £39.95 per night and is in a cracking hotel a minute's walk from the tram stop and the Sale Wetherspoons pub.
We stayed there last year and can't compliment the place enough.
Of course, you may bump into my good self and RoyBoy, amongst others during your stay, but you'll live to tell the tale.
I'll leave the room available until midweek when I'll have to cancel it along with the extra Sunday night for each room we've booked but won't be using.
