Zara Phillips-Mike Tindall Royal Wedding Pics, Photos

The second British royal wedding of the year takes place on Saturday, as Queen Elizabeth II's eldest granddaughter Zara Phillips and England rugby star Mike Tindall tie the knot in Edinburgh.

But the marriage of the two world-beating sports stars has little in common with that of Phillips' cousin Prince William and the former Kate Middleton three months ago, when one million people lined the streets of London to watch.

All the senior royals, including William and Catherine, are expected to attend Saturday's wedding at Canongate Kirk, but it holds only about 400 guests -- far from the 1,900 who attended the April 29 marriage at Westminster Abbey.

The reception will be held at the nearby Palace of Holyroodhouse, the queen's official residence in Scotland, although the party started early with a drinks reception on Friday night on the Royal Yacht Britannia.

Phillips, 30, is the younger child of the queen's only daughter Princess Anne and 13th in line to the throne, but she does not have a royal title and she and Tindall, 32, have tried to live as normal a life as their careers have allowed.

She is a former eventing world champion, who was named the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year in 2006, while he played in England's 2003 World Cup-winning team and captained the side in their victorious 2011 Six Nations campaign.

The pair met in 2003 in Sydney, as the England squad celebrated winning the World Cup. Tindall, the jovial, broken-nosed Gloucester captain, claims it was his "pure charm" that won her heart.

During a two-hour party on Friday, he and Phillips, wearing a white one-shoulder dress with a blue print design, mingled with guests on deck of the ship as a live band played and waiters served champagne and canapes.

Catherine, wearing a mid-length green dress, attended with William and her brother-in-law Prince Harry, although there was no sign of the queen, her husband Prince Philip or William's father Prince Charles and his wife Camilla.

Although it has failed to garner the same global interest as April's wedding, the prospect of all the royals in town drew several hundred well-wishers to the 321-year-old Canongate Kirk on Edinburgh's Royal Mile on Saturday.

"I want to see the royals. I think Zara is a really nice girl, not posh. She is just down to earth," said Trish, a 59-year-old Scottish woman, waiting behind a barrier on the short road that leads from the Kirk to the reception venue.

Phillips and Tindall visited the Kirk on Friday for a final run-through of the service.

Both dressed in jeans, they spent about 50 minutes inside with the Reverend Neil Gardner, who will conduct the ceremony, and Tindall's best man Iain Balshaw, his former Bath and England colleague.

They ended with a brief kiss outside the church to the delight of the crowd.

"I think it's really good that they've chosen Edinburgh to get married," said Mary, one of the well-wishers outside the Kirk on Saturday. "And I think it's good that they've chosen something that suits them."

Pippa Middleton's famous Backside is Gaining in Popularity

Pippa Middleton's backside became all the buzz after she wore a form-fitting Alexander McQueen gown to her sister Catherine Middleton's wedding April 29, 2011, in London.

"The latest craze here in the U.S. and all over the world is to get the "Pippa Butt Lift," Miami-based celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Constantino Mendieta told Fox News. "Once the breast implants reigned supreme, now it is the buttocks that are considered a woman's best asset."

Bubble Gum: Movie Review

The film Bubble Gum seemingly set in the same era as Sholay , starts with the onset of Holi holidays in schools and ends with the festival of colours. But this fortnight-long holiday seems stretched more than a two-month summer vacation. Nevertheless if you are patient enough to overlook the long length and slow pace of this film, Bubble Gum is quite and an endearing experience.

Bubble Gum is set in a bygone era when wall posts meant graffiti drawings and scratching on school benches. Forget Facebook and Twitter, it revives the period when there were no computers - not even television sets. But while it has a yesteryear setting, it isn't a dated product by any means. While the generation who has lived these days will easily relate to their adolescent years, even the contemporary cohort is sure to be touched by the simplicity and sincerity of the portrayal of past times in this film.

Vedant (Delzad Hiravali) is a 14-year-young school boy who is attracted towards the girl-next-door Jenny (Apoorva Arora). Neighbourhood boy Ratan (Suraj Singh) is his arch-rival as they both vie for Jenny's attention. When Vedant's deaf-and-mute elder brother Vidur (Sohail Lakhani) comes home from his hostel, their parents always show more care and concern towards their elder son for his handicap. Vedant feels ignored, though Vidur always acts like a responsible and mature boy. Vedant's infatuation with Jenny, rivalry with Ratan and miscommunication with Vidur forms the base of this bubblegum.

At first instance, Bubble Gum revives the old world charm of yesteryears - when stamp collection used to be a popular hobby, when kabaddi was a common sport, when black-and-white photographs adorned albums and when Fiat was the family car. Director Sanjeevan Lal, to a good extent, succeeds in evoking that feeling of nostalgia. With child protagonists, the film lightheartedly touches on themes like early infatuation and teenaged confrontation.

At the same time the film very maturely handles the theme of sibling antipathy that arises out of parent's preferential treatment to the handicapped son. That essentially doesn't restrict Bubble Gum to being a children's film and gives it a wider perspective. The bonding between the brothers is neither saccharine-coated nor is the younger's envy towards elder hostile. Despite their dispute, the younger always holds respect for the elder. The chase-scene between them towards the climax is very captivatingly choreographed. Even the parent's behaviour towards their children is very real. The father is paranoid while the mother is poised.

On the flipside, the pacing is slow and the runtime seems too long for a sweet-n-simple film like this. Also with the same character-conflicts being stretched through its length, the narrative kind of gets repetitive. All through its runtime, the film recurrently deals with the same character-conflicts of Vedant's infatuation with Jenny and incompatibility with Vidur. Moreover the impending Holi festival never seems to arrive till the very end.

Muneesh Sappal's production design is perfect as he aptly recreates the ambience of an elapsed era. Suresh Pai's editing could have been tighter and the film could surely have been made shorter. Anshul Chaubey does a decent job, though the cinematography is not as demanding as Udaan which captured the same industrial city of Jamshedpur in a more sparkling spirit.

Performances are a highlight with every member of cast coming up with impressive acts. Delzad Hiravali in his tousled hairdo and teenaged attitude befits the central protagonist. He is brilliant in the scene just before the interval when he confronts his parents out of frustration and anger. Using an actor who is hearing-impaired in real life could have been a difficult decision but the result shows with Sohail Lakhani being exceptionally good in his performance and body language. Suraj Singh has traits of being a potential negative lead when he grows up. Apoorva Arora is charming. Sachin Khedekar and Tanvi Azmi are convincing as the parents.

Like you tend to chew a bubble gum even long after its flavour is forgone, you are somehow glued to the film in spite of all its loose ends. The director, somehow, gets you hooked to the narrative and doesn't let the bubble gum burst.

Apple, Samsung Sold More SmartPhones than Nokia

In the second quarter Apple and Samsung both sold more smartphones than Nokia. Nokia still sold most phones overall, market researcher Strategy Analytics said Friday. Nokia's smartphone sales have plunged since its February announcement that its future smartphones will run Microsoft's Windows Phone instead of its own Symbian OS. In the second quarter, it shipped 16.7 million smartphones, down 30 percent from shipments of 23.8 million a year earlier.

In comparison, the smartphone market as a whole grew 76.3 percent year on year, according to Strategy Analytics. Apple, meanwhile, more than doubled its shipments to 20.3 million for the quarter, up from just 8.4 million a year earlier. For Samsung, the increase was even more dramatic, moving from just 3.1 million smartphones shipped in the second quarter of 2010 to 19.2 million in the second quarter this year.

That puts Apple top of the smartphone market, with an 18.5 percent share, up from second place with 13.5 percent a year earlier. Samsung is now second, with 17.5 percent, up from a third-placed 5 percent a year earlier, while Nokia's share has plummeted to 15.2 percent, from 38.1 percent a year earlier. Other manufacturers have seen their share of the smartphone market rise from 43.4 percent to 48.9 percent, Strategy Analytics said.

Nokia also fared badly in the market for feature phones, with shipments slipping to 71.8 million in the second quarter, down from 87.3 million a year earlier, according to Strategy Analytics. Other manufacturers saw similar declines, so much so that overall shipments of feature phones declined for the first time in about two years, research firm IDC said Friday.

Overall, phone shipments totalled 361.1 million in the second quarter, up from 320 million a year earlier, according to Strategy Analytics. IDC put the figure at 365.4 million, up from 328.4 million, a growth rate of 11.3 percent lower than the 13.3 percent IDC had forecast.

Overall, Nokia's phone shipments fell from 111.1 million in the second quarter last year to 88.5 million phones this year, still enough to leave it in first place, Strategy Analytics said. IDC published identical figures for Nokia's shipments on Friday, adding that Nokia had shipped 2.6 million dual-SIM feature phones in the second quarter. In previous quarters, the company's sales had suffered in markets such as India, where phones are often shared by several users and dual-SIM models are a popular way to let each user store their own address book and pay for their own calls.

The two analysts also disagreed slightly on their estimates of Samsung's total phone shipments for the second quarter, with Strategy Analytics putting it at 74 million and IDC at a more conservative 70.2 million, but the conclusion was the same: Samsung is still in second place, with a market share of 20.5 percent (IDC: 19.2 percent), almost unchanged from 19.9 percent a year earlier (IDC: 19.4 percent).

Third place for now is LG Electronics. While its smartphone sales are holding up, sales of its feature phones are dipping. Its share is now 6.9 percent according to Strategy Analytics, 6.8 percent according to IDC. LG has recently lowered its sales forecast for this year. If LG's forecast holds true then other vendors may overtake it, IDC said.

Fourth place overall is Apple: both analysts put its share at 5.6 percent, up from 2.6 percent last year. It is followed by ZTE at 5 percent (IDC: 4.5 percent), up from 3.3 percent (IDC: 3.7 percent) a year earlier. Strategy Analytics put ZTE's growth down to keen pricing of low-end 2G phones and mid-range 3G Android phones a very different market from the high-end 3G phones that Apple sells.

Even if Nokia's smartphone platform switch is a success, its feature-phone worries may not be over as low-cost suppliers such as Micromax, TCL-Alcatel and Huawei are taking its market share, IDC said.

Cleveland Clinic Scientists Says Mutant Genes Links to Esophageal Cancer

Scientists at the Cleveland Clinic says that cancer of the esophagus may not always be caused by drinking alcohol, acid reflux and smoking. They identified mutant genes in patients with a form of esophageal cancer known as esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and a precancerous condition called Barrett's esophagus.

Currently, esophageal cancer isn't diagnosed until its late stages, when radiation, chemotherapy, and other forms of treatment are unlikely to be effective. "We are absolutely thrilled to now know three distinct genes that link to BE/EAC," study leader Dr. Charis Eng, director of the clinic's Genomic Medicine Institute, said in a written statement.

"This is essential for improving risk assessment, disease management, and saving lives." Since 1970, the incidence of Barrett's esophagus has risen more than three-fold, though doctors don't know why. Esophageal cancer remains rare but is often deadly. In 2010, there were 16,640 new cases and 14,500 deaths.

In addition to smoking, drinking, acid reflux, and the suspect genes, risk factors include being male, being age 65 or older, being obese, and possibly eating a diet that's low in fruits and vegetables. Symptoms include difficulty swallowing, pain upon swallowing, pain in the chest or back, weight loss, heaertburn, and hoarseness. The research was published in the July 27 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Fifth Accuser in Eddie Long Sexual Misconduct Case

The Georgia mega church pastor, Eddie Long, who settled out of court with four young men who accused him of sexual misconduct, may have faced allegations from a fifth accuser, Fox 5 Atlanta is reporting. The news station aired and published a story on its Web site Wednesday evening on the outcome of their seven-week investigation of the case.

The FOX 5 I-Team has uncovered that there was a fifth accuser in the Bishop Eddie Long sexual misconduct case. He never filed a lawsuit and his name was kept a secret, but Centino Kemp’s allegations of sexual misconduct against Bishop Long brought him front and center into the recent settlement negotiations.

Long faced accusations that he “abused his spiritual authority to seduce (teenage boys) with cars, money, clothes, jewelry, international trips and access to celebrities.” Later details reported in the Christian Post said that the married father of four “admitted to mentoring the men and sharing rooms with them while on trips, but denied any sexual activity took place.”

In a 2010 sermon addressing the accusations, Long said, “I have never in my life portrayed myself as a perfect man.” But, he added to cheers from his congregation, “I am not the man that’s being portrayed on the television. . . This thing, I’m gonna fight.”

B.J. Bernstein, attorney for the original four plaintiffs, said in a statement in May: “The matter has been resolved. Neither attorney Bernstein nor the plaintiffs themselves will be available for interview on this matter, now or in the future,” making it unlikely that the truth of what happened between Long and his accusers will become public.

Kyle Orton Expects Broncos Talks to Miami About Deal

Kyle Orton, the Lame-duck Denver quarterback met with the media in Denver on Thursday after he practiced with the Broncos and he said he expects to be the starter in Denver despite the fact the Broncos have been talking to Miami about a deal.

However, the deal has hit a snag. The Denver Post reported that Orton looked much better than second-year quarterback Tim Tebow in practice Thursday. “There’s a lot of stuff that goes on business-wise, and I really don’t take any hard feelings or anything like that,” Orton said in quotes released by the Broncos. “I’m excited to be here. I had a lot of fun out there with my teammates today. I’m excited to have a great year."

He said his current expectation is to be the Broncos’ starter. “I expect to be here,” Orton said. “I expect to be the starter here and go out there and play the best football of my career.” Orton didn’t sound worried about losing his job to Tebow. “That’s not the sense that I get,” Orton said. “I’m out there competing and I like my chances if that’s my case.”

Denver coach John Fox wouldn’t say much about the Orton trade talks. “I think out of respect for the players, and just the way we handle things, I’m not going to discuss internal discussions from the building publicly,” Fox said. “That’s the way I’ve always operated, and I think as an organization, we want to do it out of respect.

We’ll have plenty of discussions moving forward. Anything we can do as an organization in our minds to improve our team we will do, but that’s not this, as it relates to Kyle Orton." The talks with the Dolphins are well documented and a deal can still get done. If not, Orton seems prepared to be the Broncos’ starter. As I wrote earlier Thursday, whatever happens, it needs to be done quickly.

Cowboys and Aliens Movie Review

Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly magazine filed the following review. "Cowboys and Aliens", from the director of the hit superhero flick "Iron Man", should have been brainless fun, but it’s mostly just brainless.

When a high-powered summer sci-fi action thriller is called “Cowboys and Aliens,” it’s a safe bet that audiences can plan to spend two hours watching cowboys and aliens. What they may hope to see, however, is a film that fuses those two familiar pop-movie elements into a genre mash-up that’s greater than the sum of its clichés.

The first half hour of “Cowboys and Aliens” is promising. The gifted director Jon Favreau, coming off the two “Iron Man” films, stages a kind of mini-Rio Bravo set in a dusty mining town ruled over by a snarling boss played by Harrison Ford.

Into this Old West town walks a man with no name, or, rather, a steel-blue-eyed gunslinger played by Daniel Craig who can’t remember his name or anything else, for that matter. He has no idea how he landed in the desert with a stab wound in his side and a weird metal bracelet locked onto his wrist, but he sure knows how to stare down the local cutthroats.

Just as the barroom hokum gets going, a spaceship lit up like something out of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” looms in the night sky. There’s nothing friendly about these visitors, and nothing audiences haven’t seen before, either, in a hundred alien-invasion potboilers. “Cowboys and Aliens” doesn’t treat its war of the worlds as spectacular comedy or as innovative action, and the whole aliens-on-the-frontier incongruity never comes to much.

What “Cowboys and Aliens” particularly lacks is a good story. Basically, the characters must put aside their differences to form a posse and defeat the invaders. Even with Daniel Craig’s edgy charisma, it’s hard to care about anyone on the screen. The movie has fun moments, but it’s a plodding entertainment because it mostly tastes like leftovers.

Speak Asia COO Tarak Bajpai Detained by Mumbai Police

Economic Offenses Wing of the Mumbai police detained Speak Asia COO Tarak Bajpai for questioning on Friday. The online survey company hit controversy in a multi-crore scam.

The move comes just two days after CID froze the online survey company's bank accounts. Bajpai, who is the most prominent face of the online survey company's India operations will be flown from Indore to Mumbai.

Speak Asia is being investigated for a multi-level fraud. FIRs and PILs have been filed against it. The company has maintained that it collects money only for its online magazine and that the survey is just a benefit.

Kirit Somaiya said that three other officials of speak Asia are likely to be arrested soon. "Pranab Mukherjee had assured me that strong action would be done at the initial stage so that such frauds do not go on. Hope Pranab Mukherjee gives some assurance in Parliament this session," he said.

Tarak Bajpai is the face of Speak Asia's India operations. He mainly handled training, communication with members and hosted the retreat for Speak Asia investors in Goa this year. The Singapore-based company Speak Asia, which is yet to be incorporated as a company in India, would be inspected under section 591 of the Companies Act, which is applicable on companies incorporated outside India and has established a place of business within the country, sources said.

The company charges a membership fee is Rs 11,000 for a year. The members are expected to conduct online surveys for clients of the firm. Members are paid for conducting the surveys. The company said that it pays Rs 500 for every survey to its member.

AWOL soldier Found Bomb-Making Materials Arrested in Texas

An AWOL soldier was arrested in Texas near Fort Hood after authorities found potential bomb-making materials and at least one gun in the suspect's motel room, a federal law enforcement official said. Both officials asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

Authorities were alerted to Abdo, who was stationed at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, after he visited the same gun store in Killeen, Texas, where Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan obtained a gun prior to the 2009 attack at Fort Hood, one of the officials said.

Greg Ebert, a former police officer who works at the Guns Galore shop, said Abdo acted suspiciously when he went to the store Tuesday afternoon to buy 6 pounds of gun powder. "First of all, the youngster arrives in a taxi cab and wants to buy something he knows nothing about," Ebert said.

"There was very little conversation. The kid was downright rude," he said. "I thought it would be a good thing to call it in to police. We're just grateful that the authorities responded as quickly as they did," Ebert said. FBI spokesman Erik Vasys said there was no evidence to indicate that others were working with the suspect.

"Whatever threat (Abdo) posed yesterday is resolved," Vasys said. Killeen police spokeswoman Carroll Smith said Abdo was arrested just after 2 p.m. Wednesday. She said "suspicious materials" were later recovered in Abdo's room at Americas Best Value Inn. Smith said the inn was evacuated for several hours during the search as a precaution.

At the time of the arrest, Abdo already had been charged by the military with possessing child pornography and was awaiting trial, Army spokesman Troy Rolan said. Smith said Abdo was being held in Killeen without bail on a warrant issued by the military, pending the outcome of a federal investigation into the alleged threats against fellow soldiers and the materials recovered from his motel room.

Abdo was reported AWOL on July4 from Fort Campbell, according to Army records. Attorney James Branum said Thursday that he represented Abdo on the pornography charges and during the soldier's successful effort to obtain conscientious objector status, which was approved in May 2011.

His discharge had been delayed, however, pending the outcome of the child pornography charges brought by the military soon after. Branum, who is not representing Abdo on this latest arrest in Killeen, said his client believed the military issued the pornography charges to block his discharge as a conscientious objector.

The attorney said the infantryman claimed objector status based on his Muslim faith, as he faced the prospect of deployment to Afghanistan. He said his client had "reclaimed" his faith after joining the military in March 2009. "I don't know what to think of this stuff," Branum said of Abdo's arrest.
