10th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana
Today is the 10th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana. I must admit - I watched the wedding, the funeral and remember where I was when I heard she had died. My parents were in London that week and they said that it was crazy with the mobs of people, the flowers and all the disruptions.
She was the most photographed person in history; as a matter of fact, I heard on NRP tonight that fashion mags in London would see a 25% increase in sales when Diana was on the cover. I’m sure that was true in the US as well.
So, it’s not surprising to see her legacy live on in branded home furnishings as well. In the case of The Althorp Living History Collection, we have Diana’s brother, Charles, Earl Spencer who has licensed a line of furnishings based on the family ancestral home. Made by Theodore Alexander, the furniture is really beautiful. I used a couple of the cabinets in a client project and they really make the space. This is a pretty subtle Diana branding - for instance, there are no photos of the princess used in the marketing or on the main website.

Tom Kruise and Katie Holmes Sleep In Separate Bedrooms
It’s a problem that afflicts millions of couples around the world, including Hollywood superstars Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes are reported to sleep in separate bedrooms - so she doesn’t have to suffer his snoring.
“It’s a situation that works for both of them,” a source told US magazine Star.
“In fact, they even joke to their friends about having separate bedrooms. Katie says Tom snores, and this way she can get her beauty sleep.”
The couple have had the same set-up since the very beginning of their relationship, when Holmes moved into Cruise’s Beverly Hills estate in 2005.
The source added: “Tom has his master bedroom, and Katie has hers.”
Tom Cruise bought their new home, a $US35million Beverly Hills mansion in May.
Sources say it is being remodelled - and the sleeping arrangements are most likely to stay as they are.
Lunar Eclipse
The full moon will race into Earth’s shadow before dawn on Tuesday, creating the first total lunar eclipse visible from Orange County in almost three years. By the time the eclipse peaks about 3 a.m., the moon’s surface will change from a bright whitish-gray to copper or reddish-orange, say astronomers.
Astronomy magazine says the moon will enter Earth’s outermost shadow at 12:53 a.m. Tuesday. But the eclipse won’t become easy to see until about 1:51 a.m., and the moon won’t be in total eclipse until 2:52 a.m. Total eclipse ends at 4:22 a.m.
The eclipse will appear as though it’s happening slowly. It’s not. The moon will be moving into Earth’s shadow at about 2,000 mph.

Evangelical preacher Juanita Bynum was savagely beaten in an Atlanta hotel parking lot late last night by her estranged husband, Bishop Thomas Weeks III. The Juanita Bynum attack was brutally ferocious and left the New York Times Best-Seller author severely battered and bruised.

Google Sky, Google Galaxy
Google has launched a service called Sky that lets you explore the heavens from within Google Earth. You get a 3D view of all the constellations viewable from earth, and you can explore them in 3D. 100 million stars and 200 million galaxies are included.
Amazingly, the imagery is stitched together from more than 1 million images, with contributions from the Hubble Space Telescope. That shouldn’t be surprising, since Google and NASA have already worked together on images that show the earth from space.
