Thanks to Slify for finding the Tony Semedo Site
Okay I'd like to give you guys a little history lesson and give the reason why I love this card.
Endo is of course based on the ancient Japanese Samurai,
Samurai are of course known for their skills with a katana(A extremely sharp well crafted sword)
However the Samurai's true claim to fame was was his skill with a bow and his ability to fire it on a galloping horse.
Back to Endo, you'll see at level 1 he is weilding said katana and at level 2 he is holding his bow
At level 3 I he is in full armor
I got this in my starter pack and together with Ninja Nyne, he won me many abattle.
Due to starter cards generally having low power, I found whenever I drew him I could almost assure victory, due to his bonus, He can 2HKO or do a Hefty amount of damage to your opponent.
An ability would be nice but you're really only going to use him at lower levels, so stop saying he is a bad card, it's only because your opponents use "good cards". At lower levels, he is also a great bluff, look at it this way, your oponent has a 6/5 coming at them and doesn't want to let that damage in, so they overpill and voila! The battle is yours for the taking.
He is a:
1* 2/3/5
2* 3/3/5
3* 6/3/5.
So he may not be able to stack up to today's Carlos and Rebecca of the Sentinel. But he is an old card and used to be available in the starter packs where Sentinel were not so common. He is useful for a beginner wanting to try out FPC. Considering his age, I'd give him a 7/10 because he can be useful, and won me lots of battles
why is he so angry at the ground
Endo is a pretty good 3* card for the Fang Pi Clang but there are quite a few better 3*s in the Fang Pi but Endo is still a pretty stable card.
-6 power is good enough for a 3*
-He is a good card for starters and very affordable
-In my opinion, good artwork
-low damage
-many 3*s better than him in the Fang Pi Clang
Overall:6.5 out of 10, he is a useful card in the beggining but as better cards become available to you as you level up, Endo will lose his value but untill then, he is a good and stable card to use.
alltight 4 the peps who know nothing about anything this is a tribute to kendo not samurai. a exact def of kendo is this:the Japanese art of fencing with pliable bamboo staves or, sometimes, real swords: strict conventions are observed look at his weapon and ask is that a bamboo Shinai (bamboo practice sword) nod up and down now the answer is yes
rate green so people can learn what they are actually talking about
Ahh , I remember when I first joined urban rivals , he was the best card in my deck XD

Get Out Your Credit Card and Join Our RevolutionBy Lise | Wed, August 24 2016
Our Revolution is being touted by progressives as the "future of our political movement" and features participation by our own revolutionary sweetheart, Bernie Sanders. Bernie himself will be speaking at a kickoff forum tonight in Burlington, VT. This seemed noteworthy, so I decided to stop into the OurRevolution.com web site to see what it was all about. My first surprise was that it was a dot.com. I had been expecting a dot.org. But there you are, everything is commercial these days, even "our revolution." (Fine print reveals that "Our Revolution will operate as a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization.")

Swimming with the FishesBy Vidda | Mon, August 22 2016
At the far end of our limbs we have the necessary appendages to propel our bodies through the water. We begin our lives floating in an oceanic body of fluids called the amniotic universe in a symbiotic unity with mother and child where we experience a "lack of boundaries and obstructions" akin to how we feel immersed in open waters.
The origin of our aquatic nature is suggested by Charles Darwin when he asked, "What can be more curious than that the hand of a man?" Our fingers typing on a keyboard began their journey over 350 million years ago when some tetrapod held its head high enough above the waterline to catch its prey. That's when its evolutionary "modification of gene expression" realized there was another world.

Narcissus on OlympusBy spinoza | Sun, August 21 2016
As the story is presented to us…Not as it comes down, goes down, went down, but as it's presented..that's how we remember. The details are left for each imagination no matter how many renderings, angles or replays. They will resonate within each viewer's minds eye and take hold, get forgotten, drip slowly, or gush from adrenals as needed. Torch carried and passed, the flame of inspiration fed.
A hunter with unrivaled prowess, and beauty, which includes grace, stamina, inventiveness, perseverance, arrives at last on high at the image of himself. His broadcasted self. Reflected in a hundred million screens and more, he cannot look away. So entranced is he by his victory, by his own ascendance, it's a transfixing moment, a defiance of time. And the hunter, as hero, he can't look away. Nor can we without effort.

Strolling of the Heifers Presents an Evening of Cosmic Comedy with Swami Beyondananda - "the Mark Twain of our times"By MartinLangeveld | Sun, August 21 2016
Swami Beyondananda, the comedian also known as Steve Bhaerman, has been called "the Mark Twain of our times" by best-selling author Marianne Williamson — because he is not only hilariously funny but also offers sharp social commentary along with a spiritual perspective.
In his first-ever Brattleboro appearance, the Swami will present his cosmic wisdom at the Robert H. Gibson River Garden on Friday, Sept. 9. The show is a fund raiser for Strolling of the Heifers.
For nearly 30 years, the Swami has been a fount of comedy disguised as wisdom — or is it wisdom disguised as comedy? In any case, this heart-opening, mind-expanding show will help you wake up laughing and leave laughter in your wake.
Doggie Doo's and Don'tsBy DWard | Sat, August 20 2016
Municipalities pass ordinances that require dog owners to pick up their doggie doos with a plastic bag and then throw it into the trash. Now who the heck thought of this? It's actually much worse for the environment than leaving the poop where it is because microbes break down the poop and it's good for the soil. That is where poop is supposed to go. That's the way nature intended.
Enclosing that natural fertilizer in plastic and disposing it in the trash will prevent it from breaking down and puts more plastic into the waste stream. Dumb, dumb, dumb. If anything, dog walkers need to have access to a garden trowel and simply scoop up some soil to cover the doo. Or simply use a piece of a branch or stone that has the right shape for the job. There is no need to go against nature. It is easier if we go in harmony with it. Stupidity is hammering the environment and we all bear the consequences because of someone's ignorance in office. "Selectmen" - please think before making stupid ordinances.

Weekend Creativity Series - Better SandcastlesBy cgrotke | Sat, August 20 2016
Everyone can make sandcastles, and with a bit of practice and a few simple tools those sandcastles can be quite nice.
One of the best tools to have on hand is a straight edge. They are great for carving, packing, and shaping mounds of sand into walls, stairs, windows and doors.
In this first video, Jenny the Sand Castle Girl, an Australian sand castle making champion, shares some of her tips and tricks for making an enormous beach castle.
SeVWA's 2016 E. coli Monitoring of Local River Sites Continued August 17thBy sevwa.wqmp | Fri, August 19 2016
The Southeastern Vermont Watershed Alliance (SeVWA) had the penultimate day of our monitoring program for the summer of 2016 on Wednesday, August 17th. Volunteers collected samples from 30 sites on eight rivers and streams and will conclude monitoring on August 31st. This year, we have sites on the West River, Rock River, North Branch Ball Mountain Brook, Williams River (including South Branch and Middle Branch), Saxtons River, Sacketts Brook, and Whetstone Brook.
The drought continues in our area with our entire sampling area remaining under moderate drought conditions and parts of eastern New Hampshire and Massachusetts being upgraded to extreme drought conditions. It's hard to imagine the contrast in weather to our south in Louisiana where historic floods are devastating the southeastern part of the state. They received over two feet of rain with the most recent storm; it is the second rain event this year that received over 20 inches of rain. Many rivers have shattered previous flood stage records by 4-6 feet. If you are interested in donating to help flood victims in Louisiana, you can visit the United Way of Southeast Louisiana (http://www.unitedwaysela.org/flood). Unfortunately, as our climate continues to change, we can expect more extreme weather events throughout the world like the drought in New England and the flooding on the Gulf Coast.

Artist Reception for Cai Xi and Her 'Edge' Selections 1991-94By CXSilverGallery | Fri, August 19 2016
You are cordially invited to an artist reception, Friday, August 19, 5-7pm at C.X. Silver Gallery for Selections from 'Edge.' Cai's 'Edge' paintings 1991-1994 are on view at C.X. Silver Gallery, Brattleboro, VT, through September 18, open daily by appointment, closed August 20-22 and 27-30. Inquiries: Contact Adam Silver, Operations Manager / Co-Director, (802) 257-7898.
Cai is featured in two exhibitions during August, her 1980s portraits in caixiart.com/edge.
"I returned to my gymnastics and calligraphy experiences as a child, finding myself jumping, stretching, and reaching as I painted. Chinese traditional breathing exercise (Qigong) continued to help me channel energy when I painted. Throughout the nineties, materials, surface and texture were self-renewing areas of exploration. I derived a lot of inspiration from living in New York City. On the street and subway, on the ground in the cement sidewalk, a peeling wall, everywhere I went, I kept discovering: 'Oh, look. There's a painting!' The experience of 'Edge' is about stepping into and out of myself. My art-making is characterized by this existential process. For me, Art is about Paradox: appearance-disappearance, life-death, nothingness-wholeness, chaos-groundedness, emptiness-substance, movement-fixity."

I did a custom install, adding nylon spacers and rubber grommets to the bottom of the pump to raise it up on its mounting point and wire loomed everything. It's not silent gassing up, the motor sounds tiny/weak, but it doesn't take long to go from 5lbs to 70lbs and degassing the system when I drop my load always gets looks. Install was 8 hours including running parts. Directions were helpful, but if you want a tidy install there is a lot to consider that makes it more than an hour and a half.

My mother is one of those kinds of people who likes to stay in her comfort zone. She won't really try any new foods and won't go to any places that she hasn't already been to in the past. It's hard to get her to have new experiences because of this, no matter how much we all try to get her to do it. My family had to work together to get her into a Platinum Toronto Party Bus and go somewhere that she wasn't used to seeing. She didn't want to board the bus, but once she caught a view of the inside, she couldn't resist.
My mother was in a trance when she got on the bus. It was like her whole world had been shattered, and then rebuilt by the hands of God. She marveled at the lights and the seats.

Can't Forget About Dre
An album that starts with a taste of the whipa little snapping electric fillipmakes its intentions plain enough, and doubtless the rap-goneGrand Guignol posturings of the Game's sophomore outing will please abuse junkies, even if deposed (or deposing) former mentor 50 Cent has predicted dire results. But Doctor's Advocate isn't really all that dire, especially if you can get past the constantand constantly laboredairing of, shall we say, grievances. (Especially the incessant, already legendary name-dropping of other former mentor.) The Game's bringing-West-Coast-gangsta-back game plan tends to reveal an obsessive hung up on proving the world at large wrong before the world at large has really even said anything, so best of luck sorting out who, exactly, is meant to be slagged off by any given lyric, or the precise level of malice implied by any given utterance of "nigga," which the Game can encode with endlessly varied intonations and implications. Kanye West's guest vocal on "Wouldn't Get Far" is the disc's claim to a canonical hip-hop moment, but Game-wise, it's musical revelations like the piano lurking beneath the high-frequency scratches of "Remedy" or the remonstrative female choir cutting through "Da S***" that linger. For all Advocate's bluster, those subtle displays of command better serve Game's insistence that he's not gut- and guileless. Not that we suggested he was.

Senator McCain put on his Superman suit, blew off Letterman for Couric, and flew to Washington in his red cloak to save the country from economic devastation. Trouble was, the legislation had already been mostly hammered out, and McCain is not part of the construction team. Ooops. Guess he will have to go to the debate after all. Shucks, foiled again.
Was the Senator demonstrating his values? Were they true altruism in a time of financial peril? Or was it self-serving grandstanding? How do we sift through our own values as well as those of others, to find the small print? "Family values" has nice ring to it, but what are they really? Are they family and fidelity and God first? Or are they a cover for double standards and hypocrisy?
A part of the Republican Party has anointed itself in charge of "values." The "religious right" supports family values: that is, staying faithful within marriage, teaching creationism in schools, against stem cell research, against choice, abstinence from sexual intercourse for unmarried people, often against birth control, unquestioning patriotism, and against the United Nations for starters. Many who are not part of that block of voters share some of those beliefs, just not so relentlessly.
The Obamas have been married for 19 years to each other and have 2 lovely children. They are church-going Christians (no matter what anyone wants to believe). They both gave up prestigious and profitable legal careers to pursue community service. Looks like the essential family values family. McCain, however, who courted his second wife while still married to his first, and was censured by the Senate, has the religious right in his corner. The values voters seem not to care how a person behaves; it is just what he or she says they stand for or the name of the party. Remember the quote from the infamous John Mitchell: "Watch what we do, not what we say." The reverse seems to be the new mantra.
We all commit acts that we consider unethical. Whether it is a sin of omission, for example, of failing to act on behalf of a threatened child, adult or animal when you can. Or a sin of commission. We know what those are: just refer to the Ten Commandments. Do we invest in companies that we do not respect? Do we follow the Golden Rule? I confess failure in all of the above. So, I judge others at my own peril. Still, we all bear the obligation to investigate our candidates, their records, beliefs and life experiences.
Sarah Palin has been enveloped in protective camouflage by the McCain campaign. A shield has been erected around her to ward off bullets aimed at her from the campaign trail and the press. The Governor herself acknowledges that her values fit in with the religious right. One thing that does not always fit with evangelicals is her brutal activities toward wildlife and land conservation.
Fair game, however, is her record as mayor and governor. Her "tongue-tied-ness" on foreign affairs and her support of the road to nowhere need to be explored. As chief executive officer the state, she spent 300 days at home instead of in Juneau and took a per diem from the taxpayers. This is not prying or unfair. It is important for voters to know. She is running potentially for President of the United States. Her commitment to run this race entitles us to know and question. Claiming otherwise tarnishes her values. We need to know more about her beliefs and those values. At first blush, they seem at odds with what she professes. Her words and deeds appear to conflict. She needs to enlighten us.
What is puzzling is how the self-styled values voters, with their own values failures, can exclude from their respect a family like the Obamas? They personify essential family dedication, respect for education and learning, hard work, and community service; they are articulate and give thoughtful answers to complicated questions. These are lifestyle habits to live by. The pursuit of excellence and working hard for it is not really an elitist attribute; it is, however, quintessentially American. These are real values. We need to honor them again.

Agur Kosher Winery, Israel
Wine expert Daniel Rogov suggested that we sample the wines of Agur, a small and growing boutique winery located on Moshav Agur in Israel's Judean Hills. We recently tasted Agur's 2008 Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon,. Our report – a wonderful wine--smooth, full bodied and a perfect accompaniment to our beef rib dinner.
Rogov's much more eloquent and detailed description of this outstanding wine:
Dark royal purple toward garnet, full bodied blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, firm and concentrated, with still-gripping tannins and smoky wood, settling in nicely now to reveal an array of cassis, blackberry and raspberry… on a background of spices and earthy minerals. Ready to drink – score 88-90
Agur wines are available worldwide and just gaining distribution in the U.S.

Wedding Ideas
My Trio Rings Blog provides useful information about how to experience the timeless traditions of marriage on an affordable budget
10 Steps to Planning a Proposal
1. Find the Right Person
Sometimes you know after the first date. Sometimes you know after three years. There is no perfect time frame for realizing that you want to spend the rest of your life with someone. But when you know you've found the right person, then you may wish to begin planning a proposal.
2. Decide on the Best Time Frame
Now that you are ready, do you want to propose as soon as possible, or are you hoping to wait until a significant event like a holiday, an anniversary, or an upcoming trip?
3. Determine a Budget
What is your budget for planning a proposal? Are you limited to what you spend on an inexpensive engagement ring? Or do you also have funds for a nice dinner out, a weekend getaway, baseball tickets, or another more elaborate plan?
4. Shop for an Inexpensive Engagement Ring
Start browsing stores and websites for engagement rings. Think about your loved one's style and taste as well as your own budget. Make a short list of your favorite choices, and shop around for the best deal. Remember that you're likely to get the best deal on an inexpensive engagement ring online.
5. Measure her Finger
Before you purchase a ring, you will need to know her size. If she wears a ring on her ring finger, measure it sometime when it is off her finger. You could also consider ordering a free ring sizer from My Trio Rings to use after she goes to sleep, or ask her mom or sister in confidence if they know her size.
6. Purchase a Ring
Once you have finalized your budget and her sizing, pick the ring you think that she will love best and order it.
7. Consider Possible Locations
Now is the creative part of planning a proposal. Will you propose at home over a candlelight dinner? Or will you use the inexpensive engagement ring to propose more publicly at a sporting event, a botanical garden, or at the top of the Empire State Building? Will you organize a singing proposal flash mob or have her unwrap a special package under the Christmas tree this year?
8. Make a Plan
Once you have considered all the possibilities, make a plan and choose a date to pop the big question.
9. Practice What You Want to Say
Some guys stick to the traditional down-on-one-knee, will-you-marry-me. Other guys like to be more eloquent in their proposal, sharing their feelings openly with their girlfriend. If you want to say something special, think in advance about what that might be.
10. Execute Your Plan
Now is the time to make your proposal happen. Grab the ring and go!

Where to Propose: See the Fall Colors in New England
If your lady is a nature lover, start planning the perfect proposal for her now: a trip to see the fall colors in New England. The Northeast is legendary for the vivid colors of its autumn foliage. The brilliant oranges, yellows, and reds are breathtaking. If you're considering where to propose this fall, there's no better backdrop you could choose.
Typically, the fall foliage season begins in mid-September and lasts until mid-October, though this will vary depending on the year and the location. With a quick online search, you should be able to pick a date when the colors are at their peak.
Here are 5 places to propose in New England this fall:
1. In View of a New Hampshire Waterfall
New Hampshire Waterfalls are gorgeously dramatic, especially when set against a background of vibrant autumn colors. There are plenty of falls to choose from: Sabbaday Falls, the beautiful pools catching three cascades; Thompson Falls, with a gorgeous view of Mount Washington; or Arethusa Falls, the highest waterfall in New Hampshire at 176 feet. The only thing that could make this scene more stunning is a diamond cluster ring!
Read more about New Hampshire waterfalls and New Hampshire driving tours.
2. On a Hike in Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont
Vermont is known for its year-round beauty, which is especially notable in the fall. Travel writer Mashall S. Berdan says, "If the question is about fall foliage, the best answer is always Vermont." He suggests five drives that yield gorgeous views.
The small state is a great choice for a road trip, because you can easily travel between destinations. Vermont's anti-billboard laws ensure that your view of the landscape will be uncluttered. The Green Mountain National Forest site suggests a few beautiful attractions on a hike, including Thundering Falls, White Rocks Cliffs Trail, and Little Rock Pond Trail.
3. On a Road Trip Through Maine
Given that Maine is a large state, you have many options for a road trip here, on highways and back roads. Here are one travel writer's Top 10 Routes to View Maine Fall Foliage. Check Maine's fall foliage site for the best times to visit.
Consider stopping in Bethel, Maine, a historic town in the western part of the state. It's close to New Hampshire and a drivable distance from Boston, Hartford, and New York City. The reflection of the colorful leaves in the mountain lakes will make your sweetheart swoon, even before you drop to one knee and present her with a diamond cluster ring!
4. At Walden Pond in Massachusetts
Walden Pond, which Henry David Thoreau made famous in his book Walden, is one of the most picturesque spots on the planet. Walden Woods, the undeveloped woods on the State Reservation, total 2,680 acres, providing you with plenty of nature to explore. Pack a picnic and sit on the bank of the pond. Wade into the water or take a swim. This National Historic Landmark is an unforgettable setting for your proposal, with the fall colors in New England all around you.
5. Atop The Litchfield Hills in Connecticut
The Litchfield Hills, CT, is a perfectly lovely place for a fall proposal. The historic town of Litchfield is a short drive from Boston, New York City, and Hartford, and it's home to several quaint country inns just outside of town. In town, you'll find plenty of attractions. Around Columbus Day is usually an ideal time to see the fall colors here, so take a long weekend with your bride-to-be!
Before you plan your trip, pick out the perfect diamond cluster ring!

What You Should Know When Buying Trio Ring Sets
Shopping for trio ring sets can be overwhelming at first. What's the difference between a princess cut and a baguette cut? What is a carat, and what difference does it make? We're here to help you make sense of the terms and options you'll come across when shopping for wedding ring sets.
Let's start with the 4 C's of diamond classification. When buying a diamond, it's important to know the 4 C's of diamond classification: cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. Collectively, the 4 C's tell you the value of a diamond.
Many people consider cut to be the most important of the 4 C's. The cut of each diamond is intended to maximize its sparkle and visual impact. The cut may also refer to the number of facets, or flat surfaces, a diamond has. Keep in mind that cut is different than shape.
The most classic and valuable type of diamond is colorless. Colored diamonds, which come in just about every color from blue to pink to orange, contain small amounts of impurities. The more colorless a diamond, the purer and more expensive it is. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades diamonds on a color scale from D (colorless) to Z. Diamonds become more yellow as they approach the bottom of the scale.
A common misconception is the carat describes the size of a diamond. In fact, it measures a diamond's weight. A carat is equal to 200 milligrams, and typically jewelry is measured in 1/4 carat increments. The higher the carats, the higher the cost. This is especially true of single stones, because large diamonds are rare.
A diamond is more valuable the more perfect it is. Being natural gemstones, diamonds can have a range of internal and external irregularities that interfere with light passing through the stone. The GIA grades clarity on a scale that ranges from flawless (FL or IF) to imperfect (I).
If you'd like to know more, My Trio Rings has created an illustrated guide to the 4 C's.
Popular diamond shapes include round, princess, and baguette. Here are some examples, with descriptions from our Diamond Cut Shapes page:
Trio Ring Sets with Round Diamond Cuts
The round brilliant is the most popular and common diamond shape. It is mathematically designed to provide maximum scintillation, beauty and 'fire' in the diamond. It has 58 facets, and follows the natural shape of rough diamond crystals.
Trio Ring Sets with Princess Diamond Cuts
A princess cut diamond is shaped like an upside-down pyramid, with a square base. The shape creates a bigger top facet and accentuates the natural 'fire' of a diamond. It has grown in popularity recently as an alternative to the traditional round brilliant cut.
Trio Ring Sets with Baguette Diamond Cuts
The baguette shape, named after the French bread, has a long rectangular shape. The baguette shape accentuates the diamond's natural luster and is well suited to accompany other different shaped diamonds. It is rarely made in larger sizes, but works well to complement other bigger diamonds used in a design.
One advantage of buying wedding ring sets is that you don't have to choose between diamond cuts. You can choose a set that includes rings with two different cuts!
My Trio Rings offers wedding ring sets to suit any budget. In our Shop section, search by price range in the left sidebar on to find the perfect one for you!

To Propose in Public or Not to Propose in Public
The Internet has been abuzz in recent weeks about proposals – and specifically about whether to propose in public. There have been many recent proposal videos and photos that have gone viral online, and some spectators are uncertain about the whole show.
If you are ready to propose, then you are likely to be well aware of how well your offer would be received if you decide to propose in public. But just in case you're on the fence, here are some things for you to think about before you make arrangements with the announcer at the ball game:
3 Reasons Not to Propose in Public
1. One or both of you is shy or very private and would prefer to share a more intimate proposal with just the two of you present.
2. Your spouse-to-be is likely to want to be able to look in a mirror or change their outfit before getting national media attention.
3. You are not 100% sure what your significant other's response might be to your proposal, and you don't want an audience if the answer is maybe.
3 Reasons to Propose in Public
1. You are certain that your spouse-to-be would love a very memorable and very public marriage proposal, especially something that will celebrate something that you share in common, such as a love of a certain sports team.
2. You first met in a public location, and you would like to revisit that spot to propose for sentimental reasons.
3. You are both very people-oriented, and the moment you present a diamond cluster engagement ring doesn't need to be private. In fact, it might be even more exciting to have other people around.
Whatever your proposal style, pick out a diamond cluster engagement ring today!

Best Places to Propose in Las Vegas
Las Vegas is kind of like Disney World for grown-ups. It is a fantasy world where people can be who they want to be and do what they want to do. It is an enchanted world where you can stroll from Paris to Venice to a tropical paradise all in the course of a single afternoon. What better place to propose than such a fantasy world?
Best Places to Propose in Las Vegas
1. Over Dinner
Amazing culinary opportunities abound in Las Vegas. From bountiful gourmet buffets to four star sit down restaurants, there is no shortage of opportunity to share a romantic meal. For something truly decadent, wander past the Eiffel Tower to Mon Ami Gabi, one of the best places to propose in Las Vegas. It is the home of stunning French food that may make her swoon almost as much as an inexpensive diamond solitaire ring.
2. Over Water
For a city in the middle of the desert, Las Vegas is a watery oasis. Water-oriented proposal options abound, but one of the best places to propose in terms of romance is in a gondola, either in the Grand Canal inside The Venetian, or on a dinner cruise on Lake Las Vegas, which is slightly further afield.
3. In a Wedding Chapel
Not all couples plan out an elaborate proposal followed by months of planning an elaborate wedding. If you are a man or a woman of action, you may prefer to simply have an inexpensive diamond solitaire ring or trio wedding ring set at the ready and propose a wedding on the spot at one of Las Vegas's famed wedding chapels. You will save some money along the way by having a proposal, wedding, and honeymoon all in one.
Choose your favorite inexpensive diamond solitaire ring today!

Best Places to Propose in San Diego
This post is part of the popular Precious Places series.
San Diego is a friendly, laid-back city. It has something for everyone, from sunny beaches to hip shops, from diverse cuisines to popular museums. Its relaxed atmosphere and ease of getting around set it apart from many other big cities. Wherever you decide are the best places to propose in San Diego, its summer vacation vibe is certain to create a memorable proposal.
So what ARE the best places to propose in San Diego?
1. Over Pasta
The Gaslamp Quarter offers a wide variety of lovely and romantic restaurants, from authentic Mexican to Afghan cuisine. Take an evening stroll past the shops and restaurants together. On 5th Avenue, you will find Acqua Al 2, an Italian restaurant with roots in Florence, Italy. Sit outside and watch the people walk by in the cool evening air. Or choose an intimate table indoors. The menu offers many amazing dishes that aren't found at most stateside Italian restaurants. The farfalline alla zucca, a pasta with zucchini, garlic, and parmesan, is outstanding, although you can't go wrong with any of the menu choices. Your most important decision will be whether to pull out the affordable wedding ring set before or after the torta di cioccolatta.
2. In a Garden
The Balboa Park area is another beautiful area to wander and explore together. In Balboa Park, you will find the acclaimed Japanese Friendship Garden. Each area of the garden is simultaneously breathtaking and peaceful and would make a lovely outdoor proposal spot. One of the best places to propose in the garden is under the fujidana trellis overflowing with wisteria. Look across the garden to water meandering past rocks amidst the timeless beauty of lush trees and flowers.
3. On the Beach
And if neither of these is quite right for your vision of the best places to propose, don't worry. You can always choose the beautiful California beaches at sunset.

St. Croix is the largest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands, and it's full of culture, nightlife, and outdoor activities such as diving. St. John, an island with an area of 28 square miles, has many beaches where you can snorkel, sail, or dive. St. John is also home to Cruz Bay, its main town and port.
The Virgin Islands National Park encompasses half of St. John island, and the land is preserved. You'll find plenty of hiking trails, including Cinnamon Bay trail that passes a former sugar factory and many native tropical trees. Here are a few ideas for places to propose that she'll never forget.
At an all-inclusive resort
There's nothing like a tropical resort to pamper yourself as a couple. The job of the staff is to make sure that you have not a care in the world. Enjoy room service and schedule a massage at the spa.
At the Renaissance St. Croix Carambola Beach Resort & Spa, you can enjoy ocean views from your room, a screened-in private patio, and gorgeously landscaped grounds. On the beach, put up your feet on one of the dozens of chairs set out for guests. Go for an evening walk, and when the sun drops low over the water, take advantage of the moment and present her with a diamond cluster ring.
The Westin St. John Resort & Villas has 47 acres nestled into Great Cruz Bay. The white sand shores are lined with palm trees, and a bevy of sailboats float on crystal blue waters. Enjoy outdoor activities such as swimming, kayaking, tennis, and snorkeling. Browse the resort's Romance Packages, including the Honeymoon Package that includes special rates, couples' massages, snorkel gear, and a picnic basket.
In a waterfront restaurant
The Galleon in Christiansted, VI, is a splurge, but it is well worth the investment for a romantic evening. As if the view of the marina weren't enough, the fresh food and the extensive wine list will make you feel like royalty.
Many reviews of Waterfront Bistro say things like, "This was our best meal on the island!" and "Great views!" Try the fresh fish with dishes like ceviche and mahi salad. The open air restaurant with breathtaking views is the perfect place to present your lady with her diamond cluster ring.
In a lovely outdoor setting
When you're ready to propose, plan a day sail trip to St. Croix's Buck Island Reef National Monument. Buck Island contains 800 acres of nature reserve, a gorgeous beach, and snorkeling. The underwater life will take your breath away; you'll see turtles, colorful tropical fish, and maybe even nurse sharks (they don't bite). You can also hike on Buck Island, so bring your walking shoes. Check out companies like Buck Island Tours that will take the lead so you can sit back and relax.
The National Park at St. John has a large variety of coral reefs, beautiful beaches, hiking trails, and historic ruins. You can enjoy all kinds of outdoor sports, such as scuba diving, kayaking, and camping. Think about taking a sailing or snorkeling tour with a private company like Cruise Ship Excursions.

A Vision of an Outdoor Budget Wedding
You've found the love of a lifetime. You've proposed.
You've chosen a trio wedding ring set together. But now that the time has come,
what will your budget wedding actually be like? Feeling stumped? Picture this
It is a gorgeous fall day. The sun shines brightly through the changing leaves that rustle in a gentle breeze. You and your groom stand hand-in-hand by the lake at the local state park, surrounded by your closest family and friends. You are holding a bouquet of seasonal wildflowers in front of your mom's altered wedding dress. He is wearing his favorite suit.
Your minister marries you as a flock of geese flies over the glistening lake. After the kiss, you and your new husband wander together over to the picnic shelter where your budget wedding feast is waiting. Since you saved so much money by choosing an outdoor wedding with a small guest list and modest attire, you are able to splurge on a catered gourmet picnic lunch.
With your beautiful trio wedding ring set on your fingers at last, you are both able to relax and enjoy the moment together with a small, intimate group of guests. Unlike many couples, you actually are able to sit down and enjoy your own wedding food. While you are kicking back with the people you love most, your favorite wedding photographer will continue to take breathtaking pictures to help you remember this day for years to come.
You and your guests savor the fresh air and sunshine while eating pan seared lemonfish, grilled asparagus, a mixed greens salad with apricots and toasted hazelnuts, and a crisp white wine. For dessert, you chose the nicest bakery in town to make a luscious almond wedding cake topped with raspberries. And before you know it, it will be time to depart on your budget honeymoon!

Best Budget Wedding Dances
When you are planning a budget wedding, one challenge is to find the best prices and prioritize your hopes and dreams without scrimping on creativity and individuality. If you can find a good deal on your reception music, one fun way to express yourselves as a couple is during the dancing. You have a groom. You have a date. You have a venue. You have an inexpensive wedding ring set. Now is the time to plan the dances! Here are a few creative ideas to get you started.
1. The Whole Wedding Party Dance
If you have a wedding party that is made up of good dancers, or at least people who would be willing to get out there and try, then you might want to recreate something like this couple, who started their first dance as a married couple to a sedate slow dance, but one minute in broke out into a snappy number from "Grease," with the assistance of their entire wedding party. A dance like this could be choreographed with a live band or with a DJ, depending on your budget and music preferences.
2. Father - Daughter Dance
If some members of your wedding party have two left feet or a little bit of stage fright, how about Dad? Would he be excited about making some moves for a memorable father - daughter dance at your budget wedding reception? This dad has very smooth moves and appears to have a playful sense of humor as he dances his daughter into her new life. The father – daughter dance is a time when most of the attention is on the bride, her wedding gown, and her inexpensive wedding ring set. It is a great time to shine and express some originality.
3. Bride and Groom Dance
How well does the new bride and groom work together? This couple shows off their romantic side when they start dancing slowly to "Unchained Melody." Then all of a sudden, the couple breaks into a marvelous rendition of "Baby Got Back," with wild cheers from all of their guests.

Best Places to Propose in Orlando
Orlando is a city where magic happens. From castles and carriages to coasters and crocodiles, you can live your dream at any age. Orlando is a particularly excellent proposal spot because it is a place where only your imagination is the limit.
Best Places to Propose
1. The Magic Kingdom
Disney offers many different options for proposals depending on your particular romantic persuasion. For thrill seekers, a proposal in the Haunted Mansion, in the dark caves of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, or even racing downhill on a roller coaster might be just the ticket. Of course, if you choose this kind of proposal, you may wish to leave the trio wedding ring set back at the hotel. For a more romantic proposal, you might consider proposing under Cinderella's Castle beneath the Nighttime Spectacular fireworks display or finding a quiet spot to pop the question in the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse.
2. Epcot
If international travel is more your speed, Epcot may be one of the best places to propose in Orlando. Craft a proposal that includes a decadent meal such as feeding each other Mexican treats at La Cave del Tequila, indulging in Moroccan pastries at Restaurant Marrakesh, or staring into each other's eyes over spaghetti and meatballs at Tutto Italia or Via Napoli.
3. Universal Studios
Create a truly magical proposal at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Orlando. You choose the best places to propose: surprise her with a trio wedding ring set over a butterbeer in the Three Broomsticks pub, in a bag of treats from Honeydukes sweet shop, or while flying over the grounds of Hogwarts Castle on the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride.

Is a Conflict-Free Diamond Ring Right For You?
So often it seems like it costs more money to make the better choice. The printer paper made from recycled paper costs more. The organic milk costs more. And we all know that the Hawaiian honeymoon costs a wee bit more than a trip to the state park. Fortunately, even if you are planning a wedding on a budget, there are many excellent choices you can make without sacrificing beauty, quality, or integrity. One of those choices is quite simple: choose a conflict-free diamond ring.
1. Do you want a beautiful ring?
Choose a ring made from gorgeous conflict-free diamonds. You can choose a conflict-free diamond ring in just about any style and price range that you have in mind. With My Trio Rings, you have the assurance of a jeweler that has privileges with Kimberley Process certified De Beers mines, so you can be sure that your ring is not only gorgeous, it is actually conflict-free and affordable.
2. Do you want a ring that will last a lifetime?
Just because you are planning a wedding on a budget doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice quality. Don't choose anything less than a ring with real diamonds that are certified conflict-free. Fake diamonds and lesser metals might save a few dollars in the short run but a real conflict-free diamond ring with real gold will save a lot of heartache in the long run.
3. Do you want to celebrate your love of a lifetime with a piece of jewelry that honors human life?
Celebrate your love with a conflict free diamond ring that promotes sound human rights practices and strengthens economies of equality. With My Trio Rings, you can find the integrity, quality, and beauty you desire at a price you can afford.

Best Places to Propose in Honolulu
If you and your sweetheart are planning a trip to the Hawaiian island of Oahu and you're ready to propose, take advantage of the opportunity to pop the question in paradise! Hawaii is known for its natural beauty and welcoming spirit of aloha. The Honolulu area has plenty of fine dining options and adventurous activities, so it will be easy to romance your bride-to be.
No matter where you propose in Honolulu, order a flower lei in advance that you can gift to your lady after you present her with the diamond cluster ring of her dreams. A local florist can recommend the best kind of flower for the occasion.
Where to Propose in Waikiki
Waikiki is the famous resort area located on the south shore of Honoloulu. The main street, Kalakaua Avenue, is the hub of shops and restaurants. The brilliant blue waters of the Pacific and waving palm trees are as romantic a setting as you could imagine.
If your girlfriend is the outdoorsy type, she will love a proposal in Waikiki. Think about planning a hike to the top of Diamond Head crater, a well-known landmark of the island of Oahu. The hike isn't easy, but the ocean view is completely worthwhile and provides a perfect backdrop for a proposal.
After you've placed the gorgeous diamond cluster ring on her finger and you've hiked back from Diamond Head, you'll have worked up a strong appetite. Take her to the brunch buffet at Duke's Waikiki to celebrate. Located right on the beach, it's a beautiful place to toast to your future with champagne.
For dinner, an excellent choice is Roy's, the first of Roy Yamaguchi's famous restaurants. The steak and seafood house with Asian influences serves up signature dishes like "Roy's Original Blackened Ahi with Spicy Hot Soy Mustard Butter Sauce." If your mouth isn't watering yet, just think about the chocolate molten lava cake, which you absolutely cannot miss.
Where to Propose in Downtown Honolulu
If you can, plan your proposal around First Friday Honloulu Gallery Walk in Chinatown. It's a free, lively outdoor event on the main drag of downtown Honolulu between 5 and 9 pm on the first Friday of every month, with late night parties happening at the bars in the area. Stop by the galleries and shops and then head to dinner at one of the amazing restaurants downtown.
Many say that their dinner at Chef Mavro was the best they've ever had. Once you're ready to propose, make a reservation here for an Asian fusion/French multi-course meal your sweetheart will never forget. The attentive staff and the impeccable ambience will complement the diamond cluster ring that will take her breath away.
After dinner, head to Indigo for drinks. The bar is known for its delicious, affordable cocktails, like lychee marinis and lemon drop martinis for around $4 each. Catching a show at the Comedy Club at Indigo will cap off a night that neither of you will forget.
When you're ready to propose, pick out the perfect engagement ring at My Trio Rings! Check out the new videos that showcase our wide selection.
Surprise Your Man with a Trio Wedding Ring Set
Ladies, are you ready to get married? Are you fairly certain that your guy is also ready to take the plunge and start planning a budget wedding with you? One good sign is that he initiates conversations about a shared long-term future together and can't wait to spend his life with you. Just because he is ready to commit doesn't necessarily mean that he has worked up the nerve to propose yet! Fortunately, there is no rule that says that you can't be the one to pop the question. To get started, choose a trio wedding ring set that incorporates your style with his.
A Trio Wedding Ring Set for Every Guy
1. The Sports Fan
If your guy would rather be glued to a sports game than doing just about anything else, then you might want to consider a trio wedding ring set such as this one that has a thicker men's wedding band with styling reminiscent of a class ring or sports ring. The ladies' wedding band is a smaller version of the men's wedding band, and the engagement ring features sixteen princess cut diamonds in a central square feature set in yellow gold. All this bling can be yours for you and your husband-to-be for $799.99.
2. The Sensitive Guy
Some guys prefer a more masculine design, while other guys lean towards the romantic for their wedding band. If your guy has fun cooking dinner with you, discussing your favorite novels, or catching the latest rom com together, then he might like a wedding band with more subtle and elegant styling, such as this one carat diamond trio wedding ring set that is set in white gold. In addition to tastefully stunning diamonds, these rings also offer romantic detailing on the bands, all for $1049.99.
3. The Outdoorsman
If your husband-to-be is happiest stomping through the woods, fishing by the lake, or just spending time soaking in the great outdoors, then you might like to choose this ring set that features a curving leaf-like design. This 14 K white gold ring set includes ¼ carat total diamond weight for only $579.99
Even if your guy doesn't fit into any of these categories, keep shopping around for the budget wedding ring set that is right for you. Now you are well on your way to planning your budget wedding!

4 Creative Proposal Ideas from Celebrities
Just because you're planning a budget wedding doesn't mean that you can't have a proposal story as romantic as a celebrity's. Take inspiration from these 4 romantic celebrity proposals and put your own personal spin on them.
1. Sweet surprise at home
While his girlfriend Christine Taylor was away, Ben Stiller visited her house and adorned it with candles and rose petals. Christine came home to find Ben down on one knee. He'd forgotten only one thing during his careful planning….the ring! As he went to give it to her, he remembered that it was still in his bag in another room. But she didn't seem to mind. She accepted his proposal!
When you know your lady will be out of the house, decorate it with her favorite candy and flowers. You could write love notes and stuff them inside of balloons before filling them with helium, or write on the balloons themselves once they're inflated. Just show her how much thought you've put into coming up with unforgettably creative proposal ideas.
2. Dramatic public proposal
Singer Pink proposed to motocross racer Carey Hart at the Pro 250 class finals in Mammoth, California. As Hart was making his third lap, Pink held up a pit board in front of the grandstands that said, "Will You Marry Me?" When he made the next lap, she added the words, "I'm serious!" to the board. At that point, Hart pulled his car off to the side of the track and picked up Pink, allowing the other racers to pass him.
If you know that your love would enjoy celebrating with a crowd -- and you're absolutely sure that she'll say yes! -- plan a grand, sweeping gesture in a public place. You could arrange for "Will you marry me?" to appear on the scoreboard at a sports event, or on a banner pulled by an airplane flying overhead. If you're planning a budget wedding, you can plan a proposal that doesn't cost anything, like a serenade in the town square before you get down on one knee and present her with a ring.
3. Holiday celebration
During the holidays, we're feeling merry and tend to be surrounded by family, so it's no wonder that many couples get engaged between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. Michael Douglas hosted a party at his Aspen home on the New Year's Eve before the millennium. After celebrating the new year, Douglas gave Catherine Zeta-Jones (who was two months pregnant with the couple's son) a 10-carat antique diamond ring.
Before this holiday season comes, brainstorm some creative proposal ideas, like wrapping the ring box inside a series of bigger boxes, which your bride-to-be will open like nesting dolls. Other ideas are to place the box at the bottom of her Christmas stocking, under several smaller gifts. If she's close to her family, you might think about popping the question during a toast at the big holiday meal.
4. Walk down memory lane
Katherine Heigl met musician Josh Kelley when she starred in the video for "Only You" as his love interest. The video was filmed in a bungalow in Venice, California, and after several years of dating, Kelley tracked down the house and got permission from its residents to take Katherine to dinner there. He arranged for a car to pick her up, and he set up a table with a white tablecloth, roses, and chocolate cake. During dessert, he proposed, and the happy couple took a walk afterward on the beach that was also a setting for the video shoot. Hear Josh Kelley tell his sweet proposal story.
To come up with creative proposal ideas, think back on some of the best experiences you've had together. You may have dined at a certain restaurant on your first date, which you can romantically recreate. If you took a day trip to the beach, pack a picnic, take a walk, and suddenly drop to one knee before proposing. She will be moved by the thought you put into returning to a place that means a lot to both of you.
Even if you'll be planning a wedding on a budget, you'll find the trio ring set for you at My Trio Rings.

Best Places to Propose in Jacksonville, Florida
Nestled in the northeast corner of Florida close to the Georgia state line, Jacksonville offers a little bit of everything: arts and culture, fine dining, and outdoor excursions. Jacksonville Landing is full of options for shopping, dining, and having drinks, and Jacksonville Beach is a 20-30 minute drive outside downtown. Here are a few creative proposal ideas in Jacksonville to give your bride-to-be an experience she'll never forget.
1. In the Open Air
Plan a romantic evening with reservations on a dinner cruise on the St. John's River. Your choices include the Jacksonville Princess II, a luxury yacht that is usually available for charter by groups but is open to the public at certain times of the year. The Lady St. Johns is a great choice for those who like the nightlife, as it has two dance floors, two full bars, and a capacity for 250 passengers. The Annabelle Lee is a smaller, classic steam wheel ship with a charmingly decorated salon. The Lady St. Johns and Annbelle Lee are owned by the same company; for more information, visit www.jaxrivercruises.com.
At the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens, admire the private art collection of Arthur and Ninah Cummer in the cozy museum (which is free on Tuesday evenings), then spend time walking around the beautifully manicured gardens and past the giant oak trees. Pass serene reflection pools and fountains on your way to admire the view of the river. There, you can present her with a sparkling diamond cluster ring that will be even more breathtaking than the view.
2. Out at a Show
If your lady loves arts and entertainment, think about creative proposal ideas that involve taking in a show. If she's the theatrical type, she won't mind drawing a crowd when you drop to one knee in the lobby during intermission and declare your love for her.
A great many well-known broadway musicals visit Jacksonville as they tour the country, from West Side Story to Billy Elliot. Check the listings in advance to find one that your sweetheart would love to see.
The historic Florida Theatre, which opened in 1927, is one of the most eclectic venues around. Take a look at the event listings and you'll see that in a single month, the theatre may host a mainstream comedy show, a variety of classic films, a blues concert, and a live children's show.
3. At a Romantic Restaurant
The Patio at Pastiche is a favorite of many Jacksonville locals. The small, intimate restaurant serves comforting American and Southern cuisine and has a remarkably friendly staff. If the weather is nice, ask to dine in the garden, which is lit with strings of pretty lights. Make sure to order dessert, and after you are both happily stuffed, surprise her with a diamond cluster ring. It will be the best meal of her life.
Everything about Orsay says class: the decor, the service, and the food. The cuisine is traditional French with occasional influences from the American South. "Out of this world" is how many diners describe the dishes they've eaten here, from the French onion soup to the mussels in white wine, garlic, butter, and thyme. Your mouth will water just looking over the menu. Order a decadent dessert, like vanilla bean creme brulee or a chocolate espresso torte, and sip a glass of wine before you ask for her hand in marriage.
Let your creative proposal ideas be inspired by the selection of engagement rings at My Trio Rings!

Woman arrested at Heathrow on suspicion of terror offences
A 25-year-old woman who was travelling with her one-year-old son, has been arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of Syria-related terrorism offences, West Midlands Police said.
The woman was detained at Heathrow after leaving flight from Turkey by officers from West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit at approx 9pm.
The woman, who was travelling with her 1-year-old son, was also arrested on suspicion of child neglect and child abduction.
Her arrest was pre planned and intelligence led. There was no threat to the safety of the flight or the airport.
Air traffic chief's pay may be affected by airspace chaos
Richard Deakin, chief executive of Nats, the company responsible for controlling British airspace, has admitted his pay is likely to be affected following the technical glitch that caused airspace chaos on Friday.
He told the BBC's Radio 4 Today programme: "The pay arrangements in Nats and the performance-related pay is obviously linked into the service that we provide to customers.
"The incident that occured on Friday will obviously have an impact on that."
Labour MP Paul Flynn said Mr Deakin should be stripped of his bonus this year after it was revealed in The Sunday Times that he earns more than £1 million after receiving a 45% pay rise in the last 12 months.
Nats warned of potential computer glitch 'months ago'
National Air Traffic Services bosses were warned that plans to deal with any technical failures lacked "detail and clarity," four months before Friday's computer glitch caused widespread disruption to UK airports, according to the Independent on Sunday.
National Air Traffic Services (Nats) insisted yesterday that the failure was one that had "not been seen before", but the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) told the partly privatised agency this summer it needed to be better prepared after a similarly devastating IT glitch a year ago.
As Britain's major airports returned to normal service this weekend, experts were also warning a huge redundancy programme at Nats might have deepened the problem, and result in serious future meltdowns, the paper reports.
Secretary of State for Transport Patrick McLoughlin will expect tough questioning over industry cost-cutting when he faces a powerful committee of MPs tomorrow.
MP calls for air traffic chief to be stripped of bonus
A Labour MP has called for bonuses to be "stripped" from a senior industry leader after an unprecedented systems failure at the UK's national air traffic control centre.
The problem, involving an error in lines of computer code, was responsible for widespread disruption across Britain's airports.
Richard Deakin, chief executive of Nats, the company responsible for controlling British airspace, said the software glitch was "buried" among millions of lines of code at the site in Swanwick, Hampshire.
Paul Flynn, a Labour MP, spoke out about Mr Deakin's role in today's Sunday Times.
I hope after the chaos, which was dreadful, though a rare event, he will have his bonuses stripped from him.
Mr Deakin earns more than £1 million after receiving a 45% pay rise this year, according to The Sunday Times.
Flight chaos leaves passengers stranded for 24 hours
The flight chaos across UK airports left some passengers stranded for over 24 hours.
Oliver Flettner said he was only catching a 1 hr 30 minute flight to Dusseldorf but was still at Heathrow a day later due to the computer glitch.
He told ITV News: "We didn't bring any toothbrushes because we thought one and a half hours, that's fine. But we've been at the airport since yesterday at 3pm. Fun."
Although most of the backlog has now been cleared some flights will continue to be affected on Sunday so passengers are advised to check with their airline before they travel.
ITV News reporter Martha Fairlie has this report:
Nats: Air traffic glitch will not cause Christmas disruption
National Air Traffic Services (Nats) has assured passengers that there will be no further flight disruptions in the run up to Christmas.
A statement from Richard Deakin, Chief executive of Nats, read: "Once the backlog in the network has been caught up over this weekend, this issue will not cause further disruption over the holiday season."
He added: "Safety was not compromised at any time but we do sincerely apologise for the delays and inconvenience caused to passengers and our airport and airline customers."
Air traffic control glitch due to computer coding error
A computer coding error was responsible for the air traffic control glitch that led to the closure of large parts of UK airspace yesterday, it has been confirmed.
Richard Deakin, Chief executive of Nats, told ITV News the software glitch was caused by "one error in one of the four million lines of code" that UK air traffic control uses.
Deakin also confirmed that when the air traffic control system went down "the automated tools that help controllers steer aircraft around the skies were not available" and it took 45 minutes to get the system back up and running.
