Is Christmas Music Only for Christmastime?

Some people prefer chocolate. Some prefer vanilla. Some prefer strawberry. And some people prefer some other exotic flavor. If you ask people about their favorite flavor of ice cream, you’ll get some pretty decisive answers led light china. There’s not a lot of wishy-washiness when it comes to favorite ice cream flavors.

And similarly, there’s not a lot of wishy-washiness when it comes to this question: Is Christmas music only for Christmas? When answering that question, most people will fall into one of three categories:

Bah-Humbuggers. Did you know that there’s a small segment of the population that doesn’t like Christmas at all? (Gasp!) ‘Tis true, and I guess we all know what their answer to the question would be: No Christmas music at all, anytime or anywhere.

Seasonalists. (According to Merriam-Webster, we’ve just made up a word here LED street light purchaser. But let’s go with it; it seems to fit. And all words have to start somewhere, right?) A seasonalist loves Christmas, and loves Christmas music, but believes that each belongs in its clearly defined time of the year. And any Christmas ‘stuff’ that dares to venture beyond those calendrical boundaries is just simply out of place.

So if you’re a seasonalist, you might get all misty-eyed and gooey when you hear the immortal sweet strains of Silent Night – but only if it falls within your definition of the Christmas season. Anytime before and after, and the song might have more of a fingernails-against-chalkboard effect on you. It just doesn’t seem right.

Any-timers. This one’s obvious enough: Any-timers love them some Christmas music at any time of the year. December or July, 4 foot LED tube lights it’s all good. They’ll tell you that good music is good music – no matter when it’s played. And by they way (they might add), Christmas is the happiest time of the year. So what’s wrong with pepping-up other times of the year with some auditory seasoning borrowed from that most wonderful time of year?

Ryan Lochte keeps his clothes on, hosts at Azure Luxury Pool at Palazzo

This past weekend in Las Vegas saw the highs surpass 100 degrees, so it’s befuddling that Olympic swimming champion, heartthrob and reality TV star Ryan Lochte would keep his clothes on while hosting at Azure Luxury Pool on Saturday afternoon at Palazzo for the third consecutive season.

Lochte, who looked the part of a world-class athlete in a gray striped tank top and camouflage cargo shorts, however didn’t even take off his sunglasses for photographers on the red carpet or while frolicking interlining fabric with bikini-clad ladies and Perrier-Jouet Champagne at the luxe pool playground.

Maybe he’s grown tired of the teasing from past appearances here in a barely there white Speedo and an inexplicably flashy — and once again barely there — pink Speedo. If you’ve got it, flaunt it, no?

The 11-time Olympic medalist, who is training for the 2016 Summer Games in Rio, Kufner Interlining as he discussed on the arrivals carpet, took the weekend off to party at Azure with friends and fans. Lochte et al were treated to a cake adorned with a gold medal from the “Cake Boss” star Buddy Valastro’s Carlo’s Bakery at the Venetian-Palazzo.

The group partied through the late Saturday afternoon and mixed and mingled poolside to the beats of DJ Roman Rosati. The group enjoyed libations as well as cuisine from chef Wolfgang Puck’s Solaro.

“Azure Luxury Pool at Palazzo Las Vegas is my favorite place to hang out, especially in these gorgeous cabanas,” Lochte said. “It’s the perfect place to celebrate my friend’s bachelor party, which is what we are doing this weekend.”

On Friday night, the bachelor party group celebrated at Hyde Bellagio, where Angie Everhart and Shar Jackson also were spotted loving the nightlife. In past visits to Las Vegas, Lochte has partied at D Las Vegas, the Venetian, Tropicana and CityCenter.

Thanks to contributing photographer Tom Donoghue of Donoghue Photography DHJ Interlining for his photo gallery of Lochte at Azure and to Christopher Rauschnot @24kMedia on Twitter for his two videos of Lochte posted on YouTube.

Rolex Cellini Cestello replica – When Sophistication Returns to Simplicity


When sophistication goes to an extreme, it returns to simplicity in fact. Cestello, part of Rolex Cellini,  perfectly demonstrates how simplicity could presents some kind of sophistication and in an effortless graceful matter. Plus, simplicity always find its way to classic. The simple design of Cestello is right a classic that will never go out of style.

Nowadays, the hard core of most modern timepieces are automatic mechanical movements. Rolex Cestello, however, is an exception – it is powered by a hand-wound movement, instead. Why Cestello goes for a relatively primitive mechanism? Well, in fact, more than a few watch enthusiasts find tactile fun in hand-wound calibre. And if you realize that the Rolex Cellini line is a tribute to Benvenuto Cellini the sculptor and goldsmith to Renaissance popes and kings, you will know how appropriate Cestello comes with a hand-wound movement. It definitely means a lot to respect and learn from the  fine art of old-fashioned watchmaking.

The genuine Rolex Cestello has very basic design – polished case in white gold, discreet smooth bezel, Classic Roman numerals, mother-of-pearl dial and brown leather strap. Replica Rolex Cestello at Our, however, presents far more options for case material/color/size, dial color, hour markers, and strap color, while being faithful to Cestello key features.

Rolex Cestello is created for people has a thing for minimalist style and understated design. And replica Rolex Cestello with far lower price tag is meant to rescue people who are budget-concerned. Most replica Cestello at Our are equipped with accurate quartz movements, which is the biggest departure from the genuine. If you could accept this fact, you will comfortably have one on hand without paying a big fortune. Personally, I am in love with the muted simplicity,elegance,thrilling low price of Rolex Cestello replica, just like many Our customers.

Replica Patek Philippe 5235 Annual Calendar Regulator – A Beauty beyond the Common


Patek 5235, launched in mid last year, is the first wrist watch with regulator from Patek Philippe. It was so impoartant to the brand itself that all the involved people were very careful. Obviously, the designer showed kind of aggressiveness yet managed to remain sobber. The watch came out quite contemporary yet very classical. The regulator presents fresh look in a graceful manner. Plus, the designer spiced up Patek 5235 with bold color using. Both the hands and the strap are in blue, which is extraordinary.

The design idea for the dial is brilliant. It looks like a dial exists only in great minds of imagination, and the Patek designer just made it real. I could not appreciate more that Patek designer does think different. The dial, clean, readable and elegant, is a face of a beauty beyond the common. The more you look at it, the more fascinated you become with it. A fine timepiece could not be attractive without a beautiful dial. I believe this exceptional dial design will sure have the attention from Patek Philippe watch fans.

The movement inside is the new 31-260 REG QA based on the cal. 240 with classic micro-rotor. Patek Philippe did lots of reworked job on the movement. The first new feature is that it is the first Patek calibre equipped with Spiromax hairspring and Pulsomax escape wheel and anchor. The second one is that the frequency has been upgraded to 23,040 bph. The third is that the power reserve reaches  a new level – 60 hours. Lastly, the energy transmission has been optimized by adding a gear train with new teeth profiles. From the images, the 31-260 calibre is technically intriguing. I especially love the bridges with a modernised Geneva style which  is extremely elegant to my eyes.

The replica Patek Philippe Ref. 5235 Annual Calendar Regulator at Our, of course, is not able to be installed with the new 31-260 calibre, which is the saddest part of replica watch industry. It contains a Japanese Manual Winding Movement (17 Jewel)instead. Due to the limit of this movement, Patek Philippe 5235 replica removes the large annual calendar windows, which makes the dial further cleaner. Thankfully, the sweep minute hand, the subsidiary hour dial at 12 and the seconds subdial at 6  are remained in a faithful way. The vertical-brushed texture of the dial is also flawless copied, which, more or less,offsets the lost of the windows.

Currently, Our has nine Patek Philippe Ref. 5235 replica variants available. However, we suggest that you go for the S/S or rose gold version with blue strap and grey dial – they look closer to the genuine, and more importantly, more appropriate than other models.

Replica Ulysse Nardin Classico Watches – A Reborn Minimalistic Beauty


The “San Marco” Chronometer was an iconic Ulysse Nardin created like fifteen years ago. It was a simple beauty with unique design and technical features. For this reason, it quickly got recognized by the market. People went after it like crazy. Sadly, when the big watch trend started by Panerai came, “San Marco”, as a small watch (37mm for men, and 27mm for women), San Marco was threatened. It was discontinued by Ulysse Nardin several years ago, and it was not surprising. However, a sad story always had little sweet aspect. People could not forget this little tiny beauty and never stopped asking for it, which inspired   Ulysse Nardin to create the successor of San Marco – “Classico”. The legend of San Marco thus continues in more contemporary outfits.

Ulysse Nardin did not simply retrace San Marco. It did a great amount of job to make Classico a decent watch with fresh minimalistic style, instead. New beauty Ulysse Nardin Classico grows bigger now with a 40mm case, a wider crown and larger retro style lugs. These bigger features together make the new watch that looks sleeker, more sportive, and is more user-friendly, I mean, with a wider crown, it will be much easier to wind and adjust the watch. The dial, with sunburst polishing, could not be further beautiful in a nice retro manner. To offer better watch’s readability  in the dark, the hands, while keeping the same shape, has become a little bit wider to apply more luminous stuff.

Plus, the case is now only available in 18K rose gold or white gold with the entry-lever steel version to be expected. The rose gold version has silver or black dial, while the white gold version features the well-known bright blue dial  with nice  guilloche texture. Meanwhile, the watch resistance of the watch has been upgraded from 30m to 50m. The hard core of the watch is a good movement – UN caliber 815, COSC certified automatic , offering the time and the date. Its beautiful  solid 22k rotor is revealed by the sapphire caseback.

It’s nice to see classic watches being featured. Sometimes, less is more. Our has introduced replica Ulysse Nardin Classico watches. Minimalistic style watches could be easily copied with great accuracy. So these replicas turn out as highly elegant timepieces just like the genuine. We are convinced that they are a real winner and could gain attention and generate orders in bulk. Well, enjoy the pictures!

Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Blue Seal Replica – Brilliantly Unforgettable Masterpiece


The blue seal is my recent favorite model in Ulysse Nardin’s famous Maxi Marine collection. The beauty it is exuding is brilliantly unforgettable. It has been haunted in my mind since I encountered the real beauty online three years ago. The most attractive part of, for me, is the unique wave pattern on the blue dial and the rubber strap, which is meant to show respect to the brand’s nautical heritage. Looking at the dial, I  naturally feel a wind of fine aestheticism blowing. So you can imagine how exciting I was when the replica Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Blue Seal watch arrived at Our. As a stuff here,I had kind of privilege to touch it, feel it, try it on in the first place. Well, you can understand I held it blue seal replica for quite a while, tried it on the wrist and could not just let it go anymore. And I ended up paying the company and took one piece home. Now, I decide to write something for this Masterpiece.

Launched in 2009, the  Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Blue Seal watch is a limited edition. Functional and stylish as it is, people are not surprising to find that it has been literally sold out. Well, blue seal is available in 18k rose gold(999 pieces) or stainless steel(1,846 pieces). Except the mentioned wave pattern, the dial applies fascinating blue hue to pay tribute to Ulysse Nardin’s historical connection to precise timekeeping on the seas. Combining with the rubber strap with the same shade, the watch presents a striking visual feast.The other distinctive feature I must mention is that the watch movement parts has been specially titanium treated and thus presents a spectacular blue color that could be appreciated via the sapphire case back. The movement is the UN-35 caliber which provides the time, 45-minute counter, small seconds, and a date display. The minute counter comes with an instantaneous return-to-zero function for the recorded minutes and seconds.

The Ulysse Nardin Blue Seal replica from Our is a good copy in many aspects. It is not easy to pick a flaw in its appearance, especially when you realize that it just asks for less than 200 bucks. The functions are not all the same with the genuine as it is powered by Asian Automatic 21J – a very reliable if being taken good care of. Nonetheless, the replica Blue Seal is, with no doubt, a  fascinating modern timepiece capable to bring a fresh compliment to any outfit.Blue Seal replica has more options in dial and strap color. But I will stick to the blue color theme and I suggest you do the same. Classic is classic, you know.
