Web frenzy over T-shirt
|
|
|
Something strange happened this week in Amazon.com's apparel section.For a day or two, a black T-shirt featuring an image of three wolves baying at a full moon claimed the top slot at the online store's clothing bestseller list,, beating out the usual, unremarkable mix of Levi's 505 regular-fit jeans, Crocs clogs and Adidas running shoes.
Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt, Available in Various Sizes
And really, why wouldn't you buy the shirt, which is priced from $7.65 to $17.93, depending on your size? Just read the long and growing list of customer testimonials promising earth-shattering experiences or psychedelic vision quests upon purchase.
"I bought this shirt and instantly old girlfriends started calling me again," wrote one reviewer."My doctor says the cancer has gone into remission," wrote another. "
Thanks for changing my life!"The shirt's page at Amazon.com had quietly existed for years without much comment, but after a snarky link from CollegeHumor.com, the "Three Wolf Moon" shirt suddenly sprouted hundreds of five-star ratings.
Reviewers have dreamed up epics about its powers, weaving fantasies involving everything from the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland to the pop group Duran Duran.
As the joke caught on and got passed around the Web, Photoshopped spoofs of the shirt started appearing online -- featuring corgi puppies, spiders or haddock instead of the now-famous wolves.
CollegeHumor.com, a comedy site started in 1999 by a couple of high school friends who grew up together in Timonium, Md., also claimed victory this week for rigging an online poll run by the state of Nebraska to select a new license-plate design.
The site urged its readers to vote for what it deemed the most boring design available to Nebraska drivers. That gray-and-white plate won.Officials in Nebraska said they monitored Web traffic to screen out visitors coming directly from the humor site, but CollegeHumor.com was still, credibly, claiming the joke a success this week.
"Together we pranked the entire automobile-owning population of Nebraska," wrote a CollegeHumor.com editor, in a Wednesday posting. "Congratulations."
This type of online rabble-rousing appears to be catching on more than ever over the past year, said Tim Hwang, the organizer of ROFLCon, a convention dedicated to celebrating Internet memes.
After all, another Web-based prank crossed over into the real world just last month when a 21-year-old college student, known by the online moniker "m00t," sailed to the top of Time's "most influential person" list in an online poll, beating out the likes of President Obama and Oprah Winfrey.
Gathering nearly 17 million votes, the world's "most influential" person is the founder of another jokey Web culture site, 4chan.org, whose proprietor is known offline by the name Christopher Poole. If you don't get why the shirt, and its reviews, are so funny, don't worry.
CollegeHumor.com co-founder Josh Abramson said it's a case where the shirt is so uncool that it's cool."A lot of things that become popular on the Web are based around just being ironic and being an inside joke," Abramson said.
"This resonates with a geeky, hip crowd that is very Web-savvy. When something resonates with that circle, crazy things can happen."Abramson said his team had considered licensing the wolf shirt for sale.
CollegeHumor.com, which had 7 million unique Web visitors last month, also has an online store that sells T-shirts with ironic catchphrases and designs, called BustedTees.com. But it appears that the site may have been a bit slow to catch on to its own meme.
"We're kicking ourselves that we didn't," he said.The New Hampshire company that makes the "Three Wolf Moon" shirt said that it doesn't generally mind being the butt of this joke."You have to be able to laugh at yourself," said Michael McGloin, a partner and art director at the Mountain, who added that he finds some of the reviews to be "freaking hilarious."
The company certainly doesn't mind the shirt's recent uptick in sales: "Three Wolf Moon" is sold out, and the Mountain has started printing up a fresh batch.
It seems that the wolf theme was growing in popularity even before the Internet hipsters descended, McGloin said."Wolf shirts are super hot right now," he said. "It's the year of the wolf, I guess."

Wedding Catering and Wedding Cakes

We all know that the business of catering can be a fantastic and a business of profit if some basics are followed properly. Also it is widely accepted
We all know that the business of catering can be a fantastic and a business of profit if some basics are followed properly. Also it is widely accepted fact that event catering is more profitable for the people, who are in the business of catering. There is another type of catering service available, which is known as the mobile catering. Now, among all types of event catering, the wedding catering is best in all respect. So in this article we will discuss a little about the 'wedding catering'.While you are in the duty of catering for any wedding event, you should remember that wedding is an event, which is full of emotions and entertainment. Now, you can add the flavors of more joy and entertainment on the event with the foods of great quality and nice food serving skills. The wedding catering is not very much different if compared to some other catering events. But the difference can be seen in the menu of dishes.
The main aim of maximum of the wedding catering to serve the foods that is delicious to some extent and must satisfy the hunger of the guests. For an example in a 'business meeting', the primary aim is a good chat about a particular business fact. A good dinner can follow the business chat. But in wedding, the wedding cake, menu and good quality foods are very much important. Sometimes a wedding party may be based on some particular theme. In that case, the menu should follow the 'theme wedding party'. For an example, if any wedding party is based on some theme related to Rome or Italy, you have to go for the Italian menu in the dinner of that particular wedding party. But only the theme-based menu is not good enough for a theme based wedding party. You should remember that probably some of the guests are not comfortable with the food of that particular theme. So you have to organize the foods of some other variation like Thai foods or Indian foods or the Chinese foods. Moreover, you should remember that might be there are some people present in the particular wedding party, who are restricted to have some special diet. So that you must organize some special diet too, which each and every one can eat. You should consider the religious preferences about the food the guests of a particular wedding party too. Selection of drinks is also as important as to select the menu of foods. Don't forget to add the mineral water to the list of the drinks ever.
Secondly, you should appoint some catering guides while the 'food serving' is going on। The appointed 'food servers' should act modest with the guests of the party. The 'catering guides' will instruct the 'food servers' about the ways of food serving. The food counters should be created in multiple places in the party hall instead of a single place. So you can understand that a 'wedding catering event' can achieve some great success if it is done with some proper planning.

How to Buy Wedding Favors
|
|
|
Wedding favors are symbolic gifts that hold a special significance for the bride or groom. For example, some grooms give out personalized favors to the groomsmen like drinking flasks that bear an inscription. A bride may hand out beauty kits to the bridesmaids. Wedding favors can also be from both the bride and the groom and represent something they both think is appropriate. An example of a wedding favor given to every guest would be an assortment of miniature chocolate bars along with a special thank you message from the bride and groom.
Wedding favors are given to guests to serve as a reminder of the special occasion years after the wedding has ended. You should take the time to choose the wedding favors your guests will love. There are many different kinds of wedding favors to choose from and you should consider your guests general tastes when selecting something you think they will appreciate. Avoid selecting favors that are inappropriate.
Another thing to consider is that you are selecting a uniform gift for a group of people and not for individuals. You want to pick something that pleases everyone. You can get two different gifts, one for male guests and one for female guests but the gifts for each guest should be the same. Your objective is to put yourself in your guests shoes and ask yourself what kind of wedding favor you would like to receive.
You can choose to make your own wedding favors instead of purchasing them. Making your own wedding favors can reduce the cost of the wedding and show a special appreciation for your guests. You can make any favor you think is appropriate. Some examples of wedding favors that you can make yourself are personal music mix cds, homemade jam or homemade cookies.

How to Buy
|
|
|
Even if some haven't RSVP, you will need to have some extra for those unexpected guests. You may want to jot some estimates down and then find out how much it would cost you, if the bakers will, bundle them in tulle or if you want them in some trinket boxes or whatnot. You can save some money if you purchase the items needed and then put them together yourself. You can always have a party and invite your closest friends to help you put them all together for the wedding.
Another thing that you may want to do is to check out some online sites that sell wedding favors. When you go online you should expect to pay somewhere around $1-$6 for each favor. This can be very expensive so if your budget is big or if you are having a small wedding you can purchase already-made favors and they will look really nice because they are done professionally and they all are perfectly placed together. However, there are many ways that you can save money on the favors if you are willing to do some work yourself.

Jordan Almond Traditions
|
|
|
For Greek weddings, they mean something else. Traditional Greek weddings will call the candy Koufeta and they are placed in odd numbers and served in bags on a silver platter. Since they have to be in odd numbers, it represents how the couple will have to share everything and they will remain undivided. In this culture, single women are to take the candies home and place them under their pillow. The sweetness of the candy will allow them to dream of the man they will marry.
If you are coming from a middle east culture, you will want to have Jordan almonds at your wedding as a favor because they are considered aphrodisiacs and they will help other singles find their mates and many people will share the Jordan almonds so that all their guests could find love much like the happy couple has found love.
Jordan almonds have become something for every culture because they are so traditional. In any of the cultures, they always mean health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and longevity. You should give your guests at least five, and usually only five, and attach a print out saying what they are. You will find that many cultures believe the Jordan almond to be something else, you may also want to attach your cultural meaning with the Jordan.

It can be so tacky when you place your favors wherever on the table, you want everything to have it's own places. Where you place, the favors will depend on the type of tables.
You may have long tables or you can have round. When it comes to round tables, you have less room on the table and they are more intimate. You will want to place them near each person's water class (located on the right) or right above the plates.

Marrying for Love ... of Money
|
|
|
"I still get the check, right?" he asks.
"Of course," Ms. Darling sneers. "I made a vow."
Marrying for money isn't just grist for television plot lines. With the wealth boom creating unprecedented riches -- and greater opportunities for gold-digging by both genders -- price-tag partnerships and checkbook breakups are increasingly making headlines. Even more surprising, according to a new survey, are the going rates for today's mercenary unions.
Celebrities get the most attention, of course, whether it's Kevin Federline, the backup dancer-turned-millionaire ex of Britney Spears, or Heather Mills, Paul McCartney's estranged second wife, who is set to receive tens of millions of dollars when her divorce is final, according to the British press.
Yet even among the workaday (or wannabe) wealthy, marrying for money has become a popular pursuit. In an infamous personal ad posted on Craigslist this summer, a twentysomething New Yorker who described herself as "spectacularly beautiful" wrote that she was looking for a man who made at least $500,000 a year. She'd tried dating men earning $250,000, but that wasn't "getting me to Central Park West," she said.
The ad inspired all manner of parodies and follow-ups, including one by an investment banker, who replied that since his money would grow over time but her beauty would fade, the offer didn't make good business sense. She was, he said, a "depreciating asset."
To many New Yorkers, jaded by multimillion-dollar condos and wall-to-wall wealth, the salary request probably seems reasonable, maybe even low. Yet nationally, the going rate is much lower.
According to a survey by Prince & Associates, a Connecticut-based wealth-research firm, the average "price" that men and women demand to marry for money these days is $1.5 million.
The survey polled 1,134 people nationwide with incomes ranging between $30,000 to $60,000 (squarely in the median range for nationwide incomes). The survey asked: "How willing are you to marry an average-looking person that you liked, if they had money?"
Fully two-thirds of women and half of the men said they were "very" or "extremely" willing to marry for money. The answers varied by age: Women in their 30s were the most likely to say they would marry for money (74%) while men in their 20s were the least likely (41%).
"I'm a little shocked at the numbers," says Pamela Smock, a sociologist at the University of Michigan who has studied marriage and money. "It's kind of against the notion of love and soul mates and the main motivations to marry in our culture."
Still, Ms. Smock has found in her own research that having money does encourage people to tie the knot. "It's more likely that a couple will marry if they have money, and if the man is economically stable," she says.
Women aren't the only ones with the gold-digging impulse. In the Prince & Associates study, 61% of men in their 40s said they would marry for money. Ms. Smock says that as men get older, they become more comfortable with women being the bread-winners.
The matrimonial price tag varies by gender and age. Asked how much a potential spouse would need to have to be money-marriage material, women in their 20s said $2.5 million. The going rate fell to $1.1 million for women in their 30s, and rose again to $2.2 million for women in their 40s.
Ms. Smock and Russ Alan Prince, Prince & Associate's founder, both attribute the fluctuation to the assumption that thirty-something women feel more pressure to get married than women in their 20s, so they are willing to lower the price. By their 40s, women are more comfortable being independent, so they're willing to hold out for more cash.
Men have cheaper requirements. In the Prince survey, their asking price overall was $1.2 million, with men in their 20s asking $1 million and men in their 40s asking $1.4 million.
Douglas Freeman, a tax and estates attorney in California who works with wealthy families, says the men's numbers are lower because they would feel threatened by women worth several million dollars. "The men aren't going to say they want $10 million, because they wouldn't be comfortable with a woman who's worth so much more than they are," he says.
Whatever the case, the prices for both men and women seem surprisingly low, given the new landscape of wealth. While $1 million or $2 million may sound like a lot to people making $30,000, it's hardly enough to transform someone's life or make them "rich" by contemporary billionaire standards. No one in the survey quoted a price of more than $3 million.
Of course, when the mercenary marriage proves disappointing, there's always divorce. Among the women in their twenties who said they would marry for money, 71% said they expected to get divorced -- the highest of any demographic. Only 27% of men in their 40s expected to divorce.
Says Mr. Prince: "For these women, it's just another step on their journey to the good life. They want to be paid what they think they're worth and then move on."
