<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">So, the good news is that beautiful, glamorous and pretty famous Pakistani film actress and director Reema Khan is finally tying the knot.Well! Her soon-to-be-hubby is neither a singer nor an actor or director, he is actually a Doctor from America named as Dr. Tariq Shahab.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">What we are hearing is that the Mayon ceremony is going to take place on 15th November i.e tomorrow. The news has not been broken though but it is obvious that she would have planned to do it months back or maybe weeks back but today as reported by several online publications, it became the talk of people that finally Reema is getting married with Dr. Tariq Shahab.</span></div></div><div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">It is also interesting to note that the reports of "Reema marrying Dr. Tariq" were floating for quite sometime. But now it seems very much obvious that there is something definitely happening.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></span></div><div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">After her Rukhsati, Reema would have a stay at America. The decided date for Reema's Rukhsati is set on 18th November. Reportedly, the Lollywood Queen is also in America right now with her family.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">So let's wish our filmstar Reema best of luck for her marriage and life ahead.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The event was a family function and not covered as a breaking story as it could be if happened in Pakistan.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Reema herself looks gorgeous on the dream day of her life. Rewaj wishes her lots of happiness in the life ahead.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">May God bless the couple.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Reema Khan had officially tied knot with the American cardiologist surgeon Dr. Tariq Shahab Wednesday in Virginia court. Sources said the Nikkah took place at a local court in Virginia according to American law, while 'Rukhsati' ceremony is underway today at Tysons corner's local hotel.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Besides the relatives of the bride and bridegroom's families, friends also attended this ceremony. Conspicuous among those was Lollywood actress Meera who had specially arrived for attending this event.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Reema a mix of beauty and brain, who ruled the Pakistan film industry for nearly two decades, talking to Geo News said that she had left the film industry 8 years ago and now she is focussed on TV shows.

Luckily for us, there's no place in the world that does holiday lights quite like the good ol' U.S. of A., and we've rounded up a merry mix of small towns and sprawling cities that do it best.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">From East to West, from dazzling Disney displays to brilliant boat parades, sparkling city skylines to mesmerizing megawatt-lined drives, when these top 10 destinations for holiday lights flip the switch, they mark the spectacular start to the holiday season, guaranteeing spectators a sparkling dose of over-the-top holiday spirit.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>1. New York City, NY</b></span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The Big Apple is known for doing things bigger, better, and brighter, and the holidays are no exception, what with the city's wondrous window displays, holiday concerts and events, bustling holiday markets, ice-skating rinks, chestnut-roasting street vendors, and seemingly endless street-to-street stream of shining holiday lights.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">While you can hardly turn the corner without glimpsing a generous glimmer, some illuminations are simply not to be missed: Start with Rockefeller Center's iconic towering tree, set aglow with some 30,000 bulbs that glisten down upon the ice-skating rink, bugling lit-up angels, and wide-eyed tourists through early January (lit November 30; free; <a href="http://www.rockefellercenter.com/">www.rockefellercenter.com</a>). Tree-lighting fixes (all free) abound – try the South Street Seaport (lit November 25; <a href="http://www.southstreetseaport.com/">www.southstreetseaport.com</a>), Lincoln Center (lit November 28, <a href="http://www.winterseve.org/">www.winterseve.org</a>), Washington Square Park (lit December 7; <a href="http://www.washingtonsquarenyc.org/">www.washingtonsquarenyc.org</a>), Bryant Park (lit November 29; <a href="http://www.bryantpark.org/">www.bryantpark.org</a>), or the Metropolitan Museum of Art (lit November 29; <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/">www.metmuseum.org</a>); or, catch the lighting of the world's largest Chanukah menorah – at 32-feet high and 4,000 pounds – on the southeastern corner of Central Park on December 20. Other highlights include downtown's wonderful Winter Garden, where 45-foot-tall palm trees are offset by 100,000 white lights (lit November 29–January 8; free; <a href="http://www.artsworldfinancialcenter.com/">www.artsworldfinancialcenter.com</a>) and the dangling dozen of illuminated 14-foot stars at the Time Warner Center (now–January 3; free; <a href="http://www.shopsatcolumbuscircle.com/">www.shopsatcolumbuscircle.com</a>).</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Look to the city's outer boroughs, too, for unique takes on holiday lights: We especially like the ostentatiously decorated homes (expect larger-than-life motorized displays, inflatable decorations, and a gargantuan gaggle of glaring lights) in Brooklyn's Italian-American neighborhood of Dyker Heights (free). Overwhelmed on where to start? Sign up for an organized tour: CitySights NY offers 2.5-hour "Lights of the Holidays" tours of Manhattan (runs November 28–December 30, except Christmas; $44 adults, $34 kids ages 5 to 11; <a href="http://www.citysightsny.com/">www.citysightsny.com</a>), while A Slice of Brooklyn offers a Brooklyn-based "Christmas Lights and Cannoli Tour," on select dates in December ($55 adults; $45 children under 12; <a href="http://www.asliceofbrooklyn.com/">www.asliceofbrooklyn.com</a>).</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">For more than a century, Newport Beach's "Christmas Boat Parade" has delighted spectators with a "Christmas-sea" feeling all its own. A fine flotilla of some 200 vibrantly decorated vessels, from multimillion-dollar yachts right down to simple canoes, glides through Newport Harbor as holiday music and costumed carolers fill the air with melodious merrymaking. The brilliant boat parade (it's the oldest one in the country) attracts close to a million viewers; it's held nightly from December 14 through December 18 and lasts about 2.5 hours – show up on the closing night for a fireworks finale. Viewing areas for the beaming 14-mile boat route are on the public beaches and establishments bordering the Balboa Peninsula, the Fun Zone amusement area (where you can hear live commentary from Captain Mike Whitehead, the official voice of the parade), and Balboa Island.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Well worth a detour, the historic Mission Inn Hotel & Spa in Riverside (set less than 50 miles away) is the setting for an extravagant showing of more than 3.6 million holiday lights in its "Festival of Lights" event; expect 400-plus animated figures, live reindeer, and even snow machine-produced flurries – come on opening night for a fireworks display, to boot (November 25-January 8; free; <a href="http://www.festivaloflightsca.com/">www.festivaloflightsca.com</a>).</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

The Orlando area's Walt Disney World Resort makes a business of holiday lights magic, with its coup de grâce event, "The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights," unfolding at Hollywood Studios. The theme park is blanketed by a staggering 5 million bulbs that sync up with animated displays for choreographed interpretations of holiday tunes – not to mention the artificial snow flurries, 3-D effects, and colorful decorations that crop up around every bend.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Tack on a visit to the Magic Kingdom, as well, where "Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party" delights with live entertainment, a jolly holiday parade anchored by Santa himself, snowfall on Main Street, a holiday-themed light show on the Cinderella Castle (which is already draped with some 100,000 snow-white lights), and a fireworks finale (select nights from now–December 18; day-of event admission ticket is $62.95 ages 10 and up, $57.95 ages 3 to 9, taxes additional).</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

A high-spirited partnership between town residents and a local manufacturing company allows the hamlet to trim more than 375 fir trees (they outnumber the households!) with nearly a half-million red, green, and white holiday lights. The trees range in size from 6-footers adorned with 500 lights to 90-foot-high behemoths bedecked in some 5,000 radiant bulbs. Recorded Christmas carols broadcast from a local church add to the high-powered Christmas feel.

You'll find the bulk of the 1.8 million holiday lights garnishing nearly 200 trees (done up with 10,000 bulbs apiece) and on 20 holiday-hued bridges, all brightened up even further by carolers bellowing their tunes nightly from passing river barges (singers perform November 26– December 18).

Abhi's child will be very qualified, Sharma says. 'She will study languages, sociology or fine arts. She'll be lovely, have shiny hair and sharp eyes.

</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Invisible bridge is miracle of biblical proportions </span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Tourists are flocking to a Moses-style bridge where visitors can miraculously part the waters and walk across an historic moat. </span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The bridge features a sunken walkway beneath the water level surrounding a Dutch fort.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Architects were keen not to step on the toes of their forefathers by building a bridge over a moat.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Ad Kils, a spokesman for RO & AD Architects, said: 'It is, of course, highly improper to build bridges across the moats of defence works, especially on the side of the fortress the enemy was expected to appear on. That's why we designed an invisible bridge.'</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The water forms part of the West Brabant Water Line, a series of moats and fortresses built in the 17th century in the south-west of the country to provide protection from invasion by France and Spain.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Falling into disrepair in the 19th century, the water line was finally restored and an access bridge was needed to Fort de Roovere.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">There had been worries that the mysterious pathway could be flooded but architects have allayed those fears, saying there's little risk of waves splashing over the side.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry, and the waters were divided…</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">However, no magic was necessary this time. Ro Koster and Ad Kil Architects built this almost invisible bridge for crossing the defensive fortress in Halsteren, the Netherlands. The amazing sunken bridge sits within the water and slope surrounding the 17th Century Dutch fort and gives visitors a unique opportunity to walk trough parted waters like Moses.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The bridge was made from Accsys Technologies' Accoya wood sheet pilling on either side with a hardwood deck and stairs in between. Accoya wood was chosen for its durability, stability and sustainable benefits and is constructed using a tongue and groove method.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Heath and Deborah Campbell said they have no idea why their baby, Hons, was taken from them just hours after his birth last week at a Hunterdon County hospital, and authorities declined to reveal the reason to the press, reports the Lehigh Express-Times. A doctor reportedly called authorities shortly after the baby was born. The couple's other three children, who were all given Nazi-inspired names, were taken from the Campbells two years ago because of the parents' unspecified "psychological disabilities" and because investigators feared violence in the home, according to court documents.</font></div> <div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, sans-serif">Authorities first took notice of the family after a supermarket refused to decorate a birthday cake using Adolf's name. The parents are still fighting for custody of Adolf and his sisters, Joycelynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie. An attorney for the Campbells said the parents will be in court today to seek custody of Hons. "There's no legal binding court order," said Heath Campbell. "It's basically a kidnapping, but they use different terms."</font></div> Its Latesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18093016328501953438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110442686034603867.post-47349124103470190602011-11-23T21:11:00.001-08:002011-11-23T21:11:43.971-08:00Hulk Hogan’s Divorce Details Go Public - Details surrounding the divorce settlement between Terry Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, and ex-wife Linda Bollea have surfaced in an article in the St. Petersburg Times.

Linda Bollea received more than 70% of the couple's liquid assets. But the pain doesn't stop there for the Hulkster. His ex also received a 40% ownership stake in Hulk's companies. Plus, she received a $3 million property settlement (more on that below).</font></div> <div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, sans-serif">The St. Petersberg Times writes that "the confidential financial settlement came to light this week after it was attached to a new motion filed by Terry Bollea's attorneys."</font></div> <div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, sans-serif">So, what are the gritty details?

The couple's home used in "Hogan Knows Best" was originally listed for nearly $14 million. It is now available for around $8.87 million. Once that sells, Hogan will owe his ex-wife $1.45 million. The two will split the remaining proceeds.</font></div> <div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, sans-serif">Additionally, Linda Bollea received several cars in the split, including a Mercedes-Benz, a Corvette, a Cadillac Escalade, and a Rolls-Royce.

Yet, even if that was not so, extra money is always welcome in any household. Of the several ways that one can adopt to get in some extra cash, discount coupons is one way that should not be neglected at all. In fact, earning money with discount coupons can be really easy, once you get the hang of the whole process.</div> <div><br></div><div><b>Collect discount coupons-start today:</b></div><div><br></div><div>You can get discount coupons from the newspaper, your cereal box, food boxes, sometimes in the mail and also on the Internet. Clip these coupons and collect them. You can take print outs of such discount coupons from the Internet. The idea is the coupons offer 5%-20% discounts on these chosen food items. You can literally use the coupons as money when buying these particular items.</div> <div><br></div><div><b>Sell your coupon collection if not using personally:</b></div><div><br></div><div>Many times you might have additional coupons or you might not need that particular food item. In that case, rather than throwing away the relevant coupon, you should sell it to make money. Now, there are a variety of ways that you can go about it. Sometimes you might just sell it to neighbors or acquaintances. In case, you do not have a demand for coupons in those circles, you can always get on eBay to sell the coupons. Only, in this case you must make sure to stamp on the shipping date correctly, so that the coupons reach the address before their expiry date.</div> <div><br></div><div><b>Provide correct information in your advertisement:</b></div><div><br></div><div>It does not matter whether you are selling your coupons on eBay or letting your friends know about them word-to- mouth. In both cases, make sure to detail all the information about the coupons and be accurate. You need to mention the expiration dates of the coupons, the rate of discount that they offer and also the items that they are for.</div> <div><br></div><div><b>Important internet policy:</b></div><div><br></div><div>Many Internet sites do not allow for people to declare selling of coupons. As such it will be a better idea if you rather mentioned that you were selling the coupon clipping service. This statement will make sure that your target customers understand your intent. Also, this way you do not violate any laws that might put you in legal obligations with the websites or selling portals.</div> <div><br></div><div><b>Affiliate coupon offers:</b></div><div><br></div><div>In some cases coupons will have a referral program attached to them. This means that for every person that you refer to the coupon program, you earn a bonus. Now, there are variations to this program as well. Some of the affiliate programs are a one referral-one bonus deal. Roughly, this means that the referral bonus that you receive is just a one-time deal and you receive the bonus for your referred person each time but it ends right there. There are other affiliate programs where you get a referral bonus for each referral you make plus the bonus continues with the progression of referrals from that person too. Needless to say, this is a better way of getting in with the affiliate program.</div> <div><br></div><div><b>Buying discount coupons at a lower price:</b></div><div><br></div><div>Sometimes you can actually buy discount coupons for services or even local restaurants that you frequent. You can buy a high discount coupon for a lower rate and then redeem the coupon at the restaurant or service for a higher discount. This is a very easy way of saving money. Every saving is indirectly an earning. This logic justifies the method as an easy way to earn money via discount coupons.</div> <div><br></div><div><b>Discount offers online:</b></div><div><br></div><div>Do not disregard the Internet as a very viable option of getting discount offers. Some of them you do not even have to print out to redeem. You can just make use of these offers and their affiliate programs to get the discount coupons deposited in your email inbox. Once you are ready to cash in the discount or the money that you have earned via the affiliate referral, you can request a cash-out from the website deposited directly to your account.</div> <div><br></div><div>Just remember that earning money from discount coupons is not a get rich quick scheme. In fact, it is not even a way to earn your living. It is just a way to enjoy some extra cash in your lives with a decent strategy and almost zero effort.</div> <div><br></div><div>Jane wishes to share the following autotrader and woot discount coupons: autotrader coupon codes, <a href="http://woot.com">woot.com</a> coupon codes.</div> Its Latesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18093016328501953438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110442686034603867.post-79676294059225052812011-11-23T02:01:00.001-08:002011-11-23T02:01:09.519-08:00Keyboard shortcuts - Google Keyboard shorts - Previous date range, Next date range, Refresh, Jump to 'Today', Day Week Month Custom Agenda view, Create event, Event details, Delete event, Places your cursor in the google search box pane, Focus on 'Ad<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 23px; ">Navigating around a calendar should be fast and easy.

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>REALITY - The "Hotelicopter" is an April Fool's Joke:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In late March and early April 2009, stories about the "Hotelicopter" - a luxuriously appointed flying hotel - begin circulating via travel blogs and websites, social networking sites, and email. The stories included photographs of the Hotelicopter along with shots of rooms available for guests. A video of the Hotelicopter in action was also posted to YouTube. Supposedly, the Hotelicopter's maiden voyage is scheduled for June 2009 with other "tours" to follow.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to the stories, the Hotelicopter is modelled on an old Soviet Mil V-12 helicopter and features 18 luxuriously-appointed soundproof rooms complete with queen sized beds, wireless Internet and room service.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, the "Hotelicopter" was in fact an April Fools Day prank launched by a hotel search engine company. In a clever marketing ploy, the company used the prank as a promotional tool for a new hotel search engine website, hotelicopter.com. An article about the prank on m-Travel.com notes:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A company, after being in news for its "flying-hotel joke", has launched a new brand for its hotel search engine, hotelicopter.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">hotelicopter, which was previously known as VibeAgent, searches 30 travel sites in real-time, aggregating hotel room rates, availability, photos and video to instantly reveal where to find the best hotel deals. It has access to more than 65 travel partners and 150,000 hotels.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hotelicopter.com owns up to the prank on its site blog:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh, and yes, we’re the folks behind the flying hotel of the same name. We were just having some fun, and had no idea it was going to blow up like it did - we've gotten about 1.5 million page and video views just in the last week - so thank you very much for all the attention and support - and hopefully we made you smile</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The photographs of the supposed cabin interiors on the Hotelicopter were in fact taken from the Yotel website, apparently with Yotel's full compliance and knowledge. Yotel offers tiny but very well appointed hotel rooms inside airports. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the record, only two Mil V-12 helicopters were ever built. The first prototype was destroyed in a crash in 1969. The one remaining Mil V-12 is now displayed at the Monino air force museum in Moscow. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.............................</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Vibeagent drops mask: Hotelicopter – I feel Fooled</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a Press Release dated April 9, 2009 Hotelicopter is presented as a “New” Totally Awesome Hotel Search Engine after “The Hotelicopter had attracted wide media coverage with its April Fools Prank”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Almost everybody in Bloggistan loves the way Hotelicopter was launched as an April Fools prank and then turns out as a hotel booking engine. “Good marketing” they say. I beg to differ.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although I can appreciate a good joke or to be fooled and certainly can laugh about myself, I feel fooled by Vibe Agent in another way:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First the search engine is not at all new. Basically it is the same search engine as it was three days ago under the name VibeAgent.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Secondly I have been involved as a very active “beta tester” in the building of VibeAgent. I’ve posted two posts about it here and here and referred to it in many other posts.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wrote:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is meant to be a community that shares hotel reviews on the one hand and combines that with best price searching on the other hand.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The members are called Agents. They write the reviews. They are unpaid.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">VibeAgent has teamed up with an impressive list of travel and hotel portals at the back end, like Price Line, Booking.com and many others.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So: It started out as a community driven hotel search engine. As a sort of mini Tripadvisor, but a bit more advanced. In the meantime Tripadvisor has overhauled its website entirely and became part of Expedia.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now with this repackaging of the site as Hotelicopter VibeAgent has wiped away its entire own community.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where are your approximately 5,000 plus Agents, Adam?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Was that part of the deal with TripAdvisor? You being able to show Tripadvisor reviews provided you did away with your own base of hotel reviews?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’m not amused and I believe many with me.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">....................</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Real Story Behind hotelicopter’s Launch Campaign</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The following is the story of how hotelicopter punk’d the Internet for fame and profit.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’ve just returned from the EyeforTravel Marketing Conference in Miami, where I presented The Anatomy of a Successful Viral Marketing Campaign (the story behind our new brand launch) to many of the leading marketers in our industry. I was pleased to see that the new brand for our hotel search engine, launched a month earlier for only $3,000, had about 70% brand recognition within the audience.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In case you missed it, we launched a viral marketing campaign on March 27th based on a fictional flying hotel. You can still view the April Fool’s Day web site here and the video here.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As many of you already know, we decided to change our name and our brand because VibeAgent (our previous name) did not accurately represent our new positioning as a hotel search engine. We were looking for a new brand that a) related to hotels; b) was fun and social; c) was memorable; and d) provided us some SEO lift for the word “hotel”.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So after much brainstorming, we decided on hotelicopter. The name clearly relates to hotels, is fun, memorable, and gives the Google bots some red meat to chew on.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our newly rebranded and redesigned site is the first major travel site to utilize Facebook Connect as its user system. This means that users can create an account on hotelicopter simply using their Facebook account credentials and instantly have their Facebook and hotelicopter accounts linked to each other. No need to recreate your social network either – it travels with you from Facebook to hotelicopter. We’ve also integrated TripAdvisor hotel reviews and many improvements to the user flow and feature set on our new site.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As we were scheduled to launch hotelicopter.com April 8th, we found ourselves in the fortunate position of launching a new brand based on a fictional flying hotel right after April Fool’s Day. Our launch campaign practically created itself: we would bring a flying hotel to life as an April Fool’s Day prank to build pre-launch buzz and drive inbound links to our new domain name. The Hotelicopter was born.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The largest helicopter in the world is the Mil-V12, a Russian-made vehicle created in the 1950’s of which only two were ever made. If we were going to create a plausible flying hotel it had to be big. The Mil-V12 provided the perfect inspiration. We simply added an extra floor to house the Hotelicopter’s 18 luxurious rooms, yoga studio, art gallery, and koi pond – and four GE turbo-thrusters to provide the power necessary to lift and transport the extra weight.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once we had an idea of what our flying hotel would look like, we turned to the talented designers at PerspectX to create a 3D model of the Hotelicopter and make it come to life, and the equally talented Aidan Keith-Hynes at Starlight Productions to do the post-production work on the raw footage. We called Yotel, the English-based airport hotel chain, and asked if we could have permission to publish photos of their hotel rooms on our site and credit them with designing the interior of the Hotelicopter, and they agreed. We put a web site together in-house using a free WordPress template, and created a press release of Hotelicopter’s launch that was downloadable from the site (we did not, however, push our fictitious press release out over the wires, as we felt that would be crossing an ethical boundary). With a web site, photos, video, and a press release, we were armed with the content we needed to launch our campaign.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next step was to build out the distribution network. This consisted of setting up accounts with the usual suspects – YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter – and providing visitors to our April Fool’s Day web site easy links to watch our video, join our fan page, and follow us in the twittersphere. We complemented these three communities by posting our high resolution video on Vimeo and posting our Hotelicopter photos on Flickr.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With the content and distribution networks in place, it was time to strike the match. That’s when the social news and bookmarking sites like Digg, Delicious, StumbleUpon, and Reddit came in. Each of these channels provided us access to unique audiences of early adopters, or to coin Malcolm Gladwell’s terms from The Tipping Point: Connectors, Mavens, and Salespeople.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With this campaign, our hook was simple: “Wow, check out the world’s first flying hotel!” Within a few hours of posting a few hooks, we caught our first big fish.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gizmodo, the top ten blog focused on consumer technology, posted at 6:20pm on Friday, March 27th about the Hotelicopter after being tipped off by a loyal reader (Kyle Redinger, the owner of the media site Cvillain – thanks Kyle!), and mayhem ensued. We had decided to host our April Fool’s Day web site at GoDaddy under a basic account, and our site was quickly brought to its knees from the ensuing traffic. We quickly upgraded our account to handle the extra load, but for several hours people had a hard time reaching our web site to learn more about the world’s first flying hotel. In hindsight, this may simply have contributed to the buzz – 130 people posted comments to the Gizmodo blog entry, with the general gist of the conversation revolving around the questionable veracity of this new vehicle.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once Gizmodo posted their story, hundreds of amateur bloggers had an interesting story to post about and the visual candy to support it, and inbound links to www.hotelicopter.com started piling up. This grassroots momentum kept site traffic and buzz going at a steady rate for the next three days, catalyzed by celebrity tweets from David Pogue of The New York Times and Guy Kawasaki of AllTop.com and the perennial Internet conference circuit. Gizmodo’s post was followed up three days later, on March 30th, by sister site Engadget, the third most heavily-trafficked blog online. Again, the post was fairly straightforward, discussing the Hotelicopter as if it were real, albeit somewhat aerodynamically ill-conceived.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But this time, only two days before April Fool’s Day, readers dug a little deeper into the story and started calling Engadget out in the comments section for getting “punk’d” by The Hotelicopter. In a surprising move, Engadget actually pulled the post completely from their web site that night, most likely prompted by Gizmodo’s retraction post earlier in the day entitled The Hotelicopter Outed as a Fake. And Wired magazine posted an uppity blog post entitled Hotelicopter Hoax Flies Over Bloggers’ Heads – ironically it turned out – about how lame the other big blogs were to get punk’d by The Hotelicopter, even though they themselves incorrectly credited the source of the hoax and botched their fact-checking about the actual Russian Mil-V12 helicopter (which they were quickly taken to task for by their readers in the comments section).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, the story was far from dead. While Gizmodo, Wired and Boing-Boing were declaring The Hotelicopter a sham and incorrectly crediting Yotel with a “brilliant hoax,” plenty of people – the vast majority in fact – still believed The Hotelicopter to be real, discovering it on our web site, an amateur blog, or YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, or one of the many social bookmarking and news sites that were helping spread the word about our flying hotel. During all this we were tickled pink, as you can probably imagine, as the goal of our campaign was to generate buzz and inbound links to our site, and the growing controversy about the veracity of our flying concoction was helping drive both beyond our wildest expectations.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over this period of time, our YouTube video became the most popular video in the Travel category, and ultimately one of the 25 most-viewed videos for the week. Another thing that truly amazed us during this time was the geographic distribution of our site traffic. In the four days between our site launch and April Fool’s Day, the top five cities driving traffic to our site were New York, London, Moscow, Amsterdam, and Budapest. The Russians were eating it up! We weren’t sure if they were confused as hell or laughing their asses off.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Between Engadget’s post and April Fool’s Day we were averaging between 4,000 and 8,000 visits, and about 20 to 40 tweets, an hour. And except for a miniscule pay-per-click advertising campaign placed on Facebook, this was a completely viral campaign. It was being driven entirely by the online community.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Wednesday, April 1st, our campaign reached its climax. We woke up that morning to a big article in The Telegraph, one of the biggest newspapers in the UK: Millions of web users fall for hotelicopter April Fool. The Huffington Post, the most heavily-trafficked blog online, featured us in their post about Best April Fool’s Day Pranks and linked to our video. Ryan Seacrest and Kanye West featured us on their personal blogs. We were featured on Daily Candy’s web site and in their popular email newsletter. We were even called by The Today Show the evening before and told we were going to be featured on their April Fool’s Day segment, but were ultimately bumped by the controversy surrounding Barack Obama’s choice of a birthday gift to the Queen of England (an iPod, of course).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On April 1st, 300,000 people visited our site, and over 150,000 watched our video on YouTube. Countless more learned about The Hotelicopter from another site or a friend that had read about it online. As the day came to a close, we moved the April Fool’s Day site from into the subdirectory aprilfools.hotelicopter.com, and launched the hotelicopter splash screen in its place. We wanted to continue the sense of mystery surrounding hotelicopter, and leverage all the buzz towards the launch of our new hotel search engine on April 8th.
