I just returned from the big island to take a look at some real estate over there on that beautiful island. Speaking of that, I noticed that many celebrities have real estate on the big island as well as Mauai and oahu too. With so many movie stars and other celebrities in general turning to armored cars or other armored vehicles today it is interesting to take a look at the history of these life savers which started out mainly as life takers when deployed by the military and equipped with machine guns and other weaponry. I mean, these days when people think of bulletproof cars they tend to think of Armored Mercedes, Armored Lexus, Armored Toyota and other related types of Custom armored vehicles like that. While Armored Cars and other armored vehicles have been around for a relatively short time, just over a century (the first armored car was invented in the United States at the end of he nineteenth century, they have played a major role in most major conflicts since that time. The armored car was first used in actual combat by Italy during the italo Turkish war of 1911-12 and this weapon system helped the Italians rout the Ottoman Turkish forces during that conflict in which most of the battles occured in Libya. As an aside if you do require a leading big island real estate firm or agency then I do suggest Sotheby’s. They have handling the real estate needs of the big island for a very long time indeed. Now back to the primary story: Then just 2 years later the tank was first used by the British Army during the first world war. At first the Germans were terrified of the clanking metal monsters but the shock soon faded as they discovered that their field artillery was relatively effective against them. The tank did not truly come into it’s own, however, until the second world war which began on September 1, 1939 when the German army launched a successful invasion of Poland. Their attack was
spearheaded by sizeable numbers of tanks as part of the Blitzkrieg (lightning war) strategy formulated by Hanz Guderian, in which highly mobile and armored units attack using massed tanks closely supported by dive bombers and other ground attack aircraft. This was a bog change from their deployment in the first world war when they were spread out over a wide front which was not nearly as effective. A key component of the blitzkrieg concept was that of self sufficient armored divisions which had not only tanks but other armored and tracked vehicles in direct support such as armored scout cars, self propelled artillery and assault guns, mobile infantry usually in half-track vehicles, mobile anti-aircraft, anti-tank, engineere and a myriad of other related support mechanized forces. After Polands quick surrender the blizkrieg rolled over numerous other countries including France.
I jusr returned from Oahu (to do an inspection on some real estate over there you know) and back to writing in here. Have you ever seen of those bizarre reality shows on VH1, Bravo or whatever, such as specific one where they go in and completely rebuild some down-on-their-luck family’s home? Of course that network is also the home of shows like the ‘millionare matchmaker’. ‘housewives’ and so on as well. I have often thought about what a horrible situation this must be for their neighbors, with construction going on constantly right next door. That is when you know it is time to get a hotel room or something. How are you going to get any sleep? Well, now there a wonderful Colorado reality show simply called, “Disaster House”. All in all, the core idea of this show is to basically contrive some kind of disaster to the house in question, and then essentially show you how to repair it. Well, I guess at least it is recreational for the most part. However, for the unfortunate community in which a specific episode is filmed, a house may suffer a fire or a flood, for instance. By the way if looking for Oahu Real estate or for that matter a consulation on the phone this site may be of some assistance. They handle almost any type of real estate in and around Oahu, for their part. You can make reservations. Alright now back to the conclusion of the story: The cable television production firm called, “High Noon”, might employ a flame thrower, smoke bombs, or, as they did in one episode, bring in an elephant to create a toilet clog!
A story in the Denver Post quoted one poor victim—er—ah—neighbor as saying that the show completely destroyed her privacy and her peace and quiet for the summer by blocking the street with trucks and cranes, creating horrible odors, foul-smelling smoke…and on and on.
Other neighbors say they have lost all privacy and wonder what the point is of some of the means employed by the production company. One homeowner wondered at using a flamethrower, or smoke bombs, or wild animals. She said some trees had been scorched by the flamethrower and wondered if that was meant to simulate what would happen if a dragon breathed on trees.
The show may be around for a while, though. It is really popular, even if it is truly a disaster for anyone unlucky enough to be next door to a house being flooded by five feet of water, scorched by a flamethrower, or made into a powder room for elephants.
I just returned from my Denver hotel in the mile high city and am back on the home front, so time to get blogging here: Many Hollywood’s stars have begun many trends in clothing and jewelry and the latest is the choice of platinum jewelry. This includes engagement rings, with celebrities such as Kevin Jonas proposing to Danielle Deleasa with a 3 carat cushion cut platinum diamond, with a double shank band and 210 round pave diamonds from Jacob & Company. Ivanka Trump also sports a 5 carat cushion diamond engagement ring that is from her own jewelry collection Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry.
Personally, I tend to like the Techno Master Watches and other assorted bling bling jewelry such as diamond hoops, hip hop items and even Diamond G Shock Watches. I also like mens diamond earrings and gold franco chains but I am most partial to techno master watches I think. Another star on the platinum engagement ring band wagon is bachelorette Jillian Harris that received a pear shaped diamond set in a platinum band, with six baguettes and 94 round cut diamonds. In fact I think she may have been at the same hotel that I was while I was in the Mile High City of Denver.
Platinum while a part of the trend for the A-list is also one of the smarter choices for engagement rings, being stronger than other metals. This metal also loses less metal over time, making it more durable to hold diamonds and other precious stones and is a perfect choice for family heirlooms.
According to Los Angeles Police Department officer Bruce Borihanah, actor Tom Sizemore has been arrested after an alleged criminal domestic altercation. The actor was arrested and booked for misdemeanor domestic violent and was held on $20,000 bail. This is Sizemore’s second arrest for domestic violence and the actor has also been arrested on drug related charges in the past.
Sizemore age 47 was said to have been taken into custody at approximately 9:30 p.m. and the incident took place in the 100 block of Beaudry Avenue located near downtown Los Angeles according to police spokesmen Chris No. By this time he must have a good Los Angeles criminal defense attorney or better get one.
The domestic altercation was with his fiancé, who declined to be treated by ambulance personnel that responded to the location of the incident, according to the Los Angeles Police Department spokesman.
This is not Sizemore’s first brush with the law for domestic violence according to a 2003 conviction after abusing then girlfriend Heidi Fleiss. He had better have a good attorney because there is no defense for this type of behaviour.
Just got back from the superb city of Baltimore in Maryland and wanted to post this article: According to reports one of the stars of season seven of American Idol was killed in a hit and run accident in New Jersey.
The American Idol star 25 year old Alexis Cohen a resident of Allentown Pennsylvania was part of a hit and run accident near Seaside Heights at the Jersey Shore which caused fatal personal injury. The driver who fled the scene of the accident was later arrested and charged with second degree manslaughter and has been identified as Daniel Bark age 23 a resident of Toms River. Cohen is best remembered from season seven of the show American Idol for an emotional outburst directed at judge Simon Cowell. As an aside if you happen to need a superlative Baltimore injury lawyer then may I suggest the Law offices of one Marc Atas. He is perhaps all in all the top personal injury lawyer there, in my opinion and he also does both accident and workers comp related cases over in the Baltimore area. According to reports Superior Court Judge Wendell E. Daniels stated he expects there will be additional charges filed against Bark, including aggravated manslaughter, death by auto and eluding. Along with the new charges bail could be set at $150,000 in addition to the $35,000 dollars bail that is currently keeping Bark in jail. Bark is set to appear in an Ocean County court and if convicted, he will face up to at least 15 years in prison. he had better get himself a good attorney.
Lilly Allen from the movie you might have heard of entitled ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’ ( I really love that name for a film) has announced she designing jewelry for woman ages fourteen to forty years old and the line will be launched in September. This is refreshing. I mean, in a day and age when so many celebrities choose plastic surgery options such as breast enlargement or augmentation in order to basically decorate themselves or otherwise draw attention to themselves, the jewelry angle is really sort of cool overall. All in all, the singer stated that the jewelry line is one that is filled with colorful images of flamingos, flowers, fruits, traffic signs and smiling faces. The smiling faces will be in silver or in gold and each piece of jewelry Allen designs she said reflects her own style and creativity. Personally, I really like the copper as well silver jewelry plus even some cool cufflinks. What a jewelry designer she really is, I mean wow. Having said that, thought, it should be noted for the record that i think that breast enlargement, implants and of course breast reconstruction can be pretty nice also.
There is no official date when the Lily Allen line of whimsical jewelry will appear in stores, although the campaign for the launch of the jewelry is set for September. Allen age 24 has also announced that she will be the new face that will be promoting Karl Lagerfeld’s autumn and winter handbag collection. Allen is also scheduled to appear with singer and actor David Cassidy in Ireland at the Flatlake Festival.
Just got back from Washington state and what a great trip. According to reports the daughter of Billy Bob Thornton is out of jail on $279,000 bail after being arrested on alleged murder charges, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter in the death of a young child. Thornton’s daughter 29 year old Amanda Brumfield was arrested in May when the authorities believed her story had some flaws in it in the death of a one year old girl that she was babysitting for when the child died in October, causing fatal personal injury in the sad and tragic case. I am not sure if this case is an accident, we will see.
The medical examiner’s office stated they suspect the baby died as a result of homicide, and according to the authorities the child had what appear to be head injuries which may have caused the aforementioned lethal personal injury. All in all, she may need some good attorneys for this case.
According to Brumfield she stated the child received the head injury from falling in her playpen, although investigators and the medical examiner are alleging that the child died as a result of homicide, according to court documents. As an aside if you are in either St. Louis or other parts of Missouri and you require a top Washington accident lawyer then you may want to look at this winning legal group. They also do auto, car and trucking accident related cases as well as the aforementioned regular accident cases overall. Now back to the main story at hand: Billy Bob Thornton has appeared in many films including Armagedden, SlingBlade, Monster’s Ball and Bandits. Speaking of celebrities, I have noticed a trend lately of some actors purchasing Armored Cars, bullet proof cars and other types of armored vehicles. By the way if you find that you need an Armored Lexus, an Armored mercedes, or other related types of armored cars and Custom armored vehicles then may I suggest Execarmor.
If you have been watched much of the cable and TV programs such as Oprah Winfrey or perhaps the ‘Dr. Phil’ show as of late, then you may be somewhat familiar with some of their latest superfood crazes which are often endorsed by celebrities. I find this trend interesting and understandable-celebrities in general and actors in particular have every motivation to look for any edge they can find in terms of weight loss, overall energy as well as antiaging benefits. After all, their careers often depend on it. Hollywood stars especially require these superfoods since they are expected to light up various award shows such as The Oscars, Golden Globe Awards, and so on and they need to look their best since they have so many photographer’s scrambling to get a photo of their glamorous walk down the red carpet or stepping off of the limo. All in all, Himalayan goji juice and GoChi Juice are extremely popular these days and several celebrities claim that acai juice, GoChi juice and goji juice are among the leading superfoods in general.
Jennifer Aniston is a star who swears by the Dr. Barry Sears Zone diet plus certain superfoods which are associated with it, such as high grade fish and fish oils, olive oil and certain kinds of nuts as well. Oprah Winfrey eats mostly nuts, legumes, vegetables, fish and chicken. That seems pretty healthy to me and she seems to have an abundance of energy.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has mainly brown rice and lean meat (oh and she also does yoga which clearly helps). Claudia Schiffer is into honey, black grapes and drinking tomato juice, among several other superfoods.
TMZ is reporting that Alabama State Trooper in Huntsville handcuffed a Former Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. Walter Jones was the black power ranger Zack Taylor. Mr. Jones was arrested for DUI on Sunday night in Huntsville, Alabama. Mr. Jones was written out of the power ranger series midway through the second season. This is apparently due to disagreements over wages and fees. Incidentally if you live in the Midwest and could use a top drawer Chicago dui lawyer then I humbly recommend Mathew Miller. He is the best Chicago dui lawyer around. Also a Baltimore County Republican Central Committee chairman called for the resignation of County Councilman Sam Moxley. Sam Moxely is a four-term Democrat that was arrested on DUI charges in the City of Baltimore. Moxley is facing his second DUI offense in four years. Moxley is a 50 year old man; Mr. Moxley was involved in a four-car accident about 1:20 a.m. Friday on West Franklin Street at North Pulaski Street. Mr. Moxley failed a field sobriety test and was taken into custody. He later refused a Blood Alcohol Breathalyzer test.
Just in town doing the tote thing. In a public statement in Bar Harbor Maine actor Richard Dreyfuss stated that America is short changing children by not teaching children civics from kindergarten through their senior year in school. Man, he wants to teach them while they are still in the diaper.
Dreyfuss a Hollywood actor and self proclaimed full time activist stated, that each generation needs to be taught what the country stands for and schools and students need the tools and passion to lead the country. The actor known for movies like Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind believes the country is falling short in their education of children and troubled teens in civics, and that children are not being prepared to become leaders and participants in the political system. I myself have tried to be active in alternative boarding schools. Speaking of kids, if you need pink, leather or tote diaper bags then I can definately suggest this particulr resource and they also have the famed messenger diaper bags and backpacks too, but the tote diaper bags are possibly the most popular right now.
In addition, in the future I might consider becoming involved in certain therapeutic boarding schools where troubled teens can go for some sort of relevent treatment.
Dreyfuss has taken it as a mission to speak out urging that civics education be taught to children through each year of their schooling in his public speech to the Maine State Bar Association.
