Landscape architecture firm Van Helvoirt Groenprojecten's striking home office is a barn-style volume with red slats on the exterior. Drawing upon passive design principles, the building was oriented and organized to manage the sun's free energy and balance daylight with shading. The roof features both a photovoltaic system and a green roof, which is more high-tech than your average green roof. Urine from the building's restrooms is collected and filtered through the rooftop vegetation, making this the first system of its kind as far as we know. In addition to processing the waste, the urine also acts as a fertilizer.
Inside, the building is finished with custom furniture and details, many of which were made with reclaimed materials. The goal was to reuse and repurpose wherever possible, and new materials had to have minimal impact. A centrally located clay stove provides heat for the building as well as domestic hot water. The stove is fueled with trimmings from the firm's landscaping work. The office was completed in June 2012 and it has already won Equipe Architecture and Urbanism and Van Helvoirt Groenprojecten three Dutch awards – and it were just shortlisted as one of the top 7 Sustainable Buildings of the Year by WAN.

Welcome to the fun. We aren't getting any younger, so we need to get as much hunting in as we can. Looking forward to hearing some of your Oregon hunting stories.
Been lurking here for a couple of weeks. I Decided I wanted to put in for a few hunts out of state. I've been hunting blacktail and mule deer, bear and elk for over 35 years...then I finally drew an Oregon Pronghorn tag. After that I decided I wanted to hunt antelope again without waiting 10-12 more years. What the heck I my even try to throw in some deer and elk hunting too. I hunted out of Encampment WY on a left over cow tag about 10 years ago...it has been too long, time to go explore some more.

Welcome to EF! What part of OR are you from?
Nice hunwhenican! Antelope hunting is the best! I'm from near Roseburg, where are you from?
Grand Slam #1005 + 2: Dall (1986 Yukon), Fannin/Stone (1987 Yukon), Bighorn (1988 Colorado Unit S-26), Stone (1995 British Columbia), Desert (2001 Nevada Unit 161), Bighorn (2009 Wyoming Unit 5)
I've yet to do any pronghorn hunting. Looks like a blast.
Nothing more fun than hunting antelope...especially in Wyoming. Do your research and start buying points. If you have specific questions, this is a good place to start.

AP Sports Writer
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Fourth-and-29 at their own 37, 1:37 left in regulation and trailing by three points.
Game over for the Baltimore Ravens?
Not so fast. After all, they were playing the San Diego Chargers, the masters of the come-from-ahead loss, and Ray Rice had the perfect play for the seemingly impossible situation.
"Check down, Hey Diddle Diddle, Ray Rice up the middle," the Ravens running back said in describing the unbelievable play that helped the Ravens to a 16-13 overtime win against the staggering Chargers.
Six plays later, Justin Tucker kicked a 38-yard field goal to tie the game at 13 as regulation expired. Tucker made another 38-yarder with 1:07 left in overtime to win it.
But it was Rice's 29-yard gain that saved the day and allowed the Ravens (9-2) to take an even firmer grip on the AFC North race.
Pushed back by a holding call against guard Marshal Yanda and a 9-yard sack of Flacco by Antwan Barnes, the Ravens were down to their last desperate shot.
"I was thinking we needed a miracle," Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs said.
They got it.
Flacco took a shotgun snap, looked downfield and then threw a short pass to Rice, who ran through a big hole in the middle of the field. Three Chargers missed him at the 50 before Quentin Jammer and Antoine Cason finally brought him down.
The ball originally was spotted at the 33. After a lengthy review, the ball was moved back to the 34 and the refs measured. The new spot still gave the Ravens a first down by the length of the ball.
"It was just total will," Rice said. "Once I made the first guy miss when I cut back across the grain, I actually saw the defense had to flip their hip and I kept eyeing the first down. I looked and said, `Should I keep running to the sideline or should I just keep trying to get up field?' And that's what I did. I just kept getting up field.
"I left it in the hands of the officials and I'm not going to say they owed us one, but I'm glad we came out on top," he said.
Said wide receiver Torrey Smith: "I had a great view. ... That's probably one of the best plays I've ever seen. You won't see too many plays like that. He was the perfect guy for it."
With the Chargers defenders playing deep, Flacco couldn't find Smith open so he went to Rice.
"I thought it might be our best shot at the time _ give it to Ray _ and Ray made a great run and got a little lucky and it worked out perfect," Flacco said.
All the Chargers had to do was get the stop and run out the clock for their first win against a team with a winning record this season.
"I don't know what to say," Jammer said. "A play like that should never happen. You can't give them a chance to execute that play. But we had some breakdowns, for sure."
Up to that point, San Diego's defense had played well.
"It definitely upsets the stomach when things like that happen, but they happen," said defensive end Corey Liuget, who had a sack, a big fourth-down stop earlier in the game and a pass deflection.
"You have to give a guy credit when he makes an awesome play like that. But it was big, the biggest of the game it changed the game. ... Those kinds of plays are never acceptable in the NFL. You have to have somebody make the play."
San Diego (4-7) was pushed closer to elimination from the playoff picture for the third straight season, and with it, almost certainly the end of the Norv Turner era. The Chargers dropped four games behind AFC West leader Denver, which swept the season series against San Diego. In the wild-card race, the Chargers trail Indianapolis by three games and Pittsburgh and Cincinnati by two games.
Baltimore increased its lead to three games over Pittsburgh, which lost to Cleveland, and Cincinnati, which beat Oakland. The Ravens won their fourth straight and for the eighth time in nine games.
San Diego punted on both of its OT possessions. The second punt, a 63-yarder by Mike Scifres, pinned the Ravens at their 11 with 4:56 to go.
On third-and-10 from the Chargers 47, Smith came back and went over Jammer's tight coverage to make a nice catch of a 31-yard pass from Flacco to the Chargers 16. Flacco twice took a knee to set up the winning kick.

Michael McDonald is originally from Orange County, California. He is an alumnus of the famed Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles.
McDonald has recurring roles on the hit Showtime series "House Of Lies" and "Web Therapy." He can next be seen co-starring opposite Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy in the highly-anticipated 20th Century Fox comedy "The Heat." Directed by Paul Feig, the film will be released on June 28th.
His first professional writing and acting jobs came from Concorde Pictures, Roger Corman's infamous low-budget movie studio. Starting as an extra, McDonald quickly landed dozens of film roles, eventually moving behind the camera to write and direct for the studio.
In the 1990's, McDonald worked steadily in television, landing guest spots on "Seinfeld," "Ellen," "Just Shoot Me" and "News Radio." Finally, in 1998, he obtained a starring role on "MADtv," where he enjoyed an unprecedented ten-year run. While there, McDonald created several popular characters - most notably man-child Stuart Larkin, Marvin Tikkvah, Rusty Miller, and Mofaz, the Depressed Persian Tow Truck Man.
In 2007, McDonald left "MADtv" to work both behind and in front of the camera on a variety of television shows and in film. He co-starred in all three "Austin Powers" films, has appeared on every season of "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List" and guest-starred on the hit series "Scrubs" and "Desperate Housewives." McDonald was a writer, director, and producer for several seasons of "Cougar Town" and has directed episodes of the hit series "2 Broke Girls," "Scrubs," "MADtv" and "7th Heaven."
In addition, McDonald continues to tour as a stand-up comedian, performing to sold-out audiences across the country. His first hour-long comedy special, titled "Michael McDonald: Model. Citizen.," aired on Showtime in 2010 and is now a best-selling DVD.

A lipoma is a slow-growing, fatty lump that's most often situated between your skin and the underlying muscle layer. Often a lipoma is easy to identify because it moves readily with slight finger pressure. It's doughy to touch and usually not tender. You may have more than one lipoma. Lipomas can occur at any age, but they're most often detected during middle age.
A lipoma isn't cancer and is usually harmless. Treatment generally isn't necessary, but if the lipoma bothers you, is painful or is growing, you may want to have it removed.
Lipomas are:
A lipoma is rarely a serious medical condition. But if you notice a lump or swelling anywhere on your body, have it checked by your doctor.
The exact cause of lipomas is unknown. Lipomas tend to run in families, so genetic factors likely play a role in their development.
Several factors may increase your risk of developing a lipoma, including:
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. You may then be referred to a doctor who specializes in skin disorders (dermatologist).
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment and know what to expect from your doctor.
Preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time with your doctor. For lipoma, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask other questions that occur to you.
Your doctor is likely to ask you questions, too, including:
To diagnose a lipoma, your doctor may perform:
There's a very small chance that a lump resembling a lipoma may actually be a form of cancer called liposarcoma. Liposarcomas — cancerous tumors in fatty tissues — grow rapidly, don't move under the skin and are usually painful. A biopsy, MRI or CT scan is typically done if your doctor suspects liposarcoma.
No treatment is usually necessary for a lipoma. However, if the lipoma is in a location that bothers you, is painful or is growing, your doctor might recommend that it be removed. Lipoma treatments include:

AP Political Writer
RICHMOND, Va. - Gov. Bob McDonnell offered cautious revisions Monday to Virginia's two-year budget, targeting modest spending increases for indigent health care, conditional raises for teachers and a hefty $128 million deposit into the state's rainy day reserves, and emphatically rejecting an expansion of Medicaid for the state.
The amendments he submitted to the General Assembly's budget-writing committees also take Virginia's cash-strapped cities and counties off the hook for a combined $45 million in state support they would be forced to return under the current budget.
Wary of an economic shock that would disproportionately harm Virginia if Congress can't agree on federal deficit reductions and avoid a year-end "fiscal cliff," McDonnell tempers predicted state revenue growth on which spending for core services budgeted through June 2014 is based. The estimate for 4.5 percent growth in fiscal year 2014, which begins July 1, will be decreased to 3.8 percent.
"We face disproportionate risks from downsizing, which as we all know, is both necessary and inevitable," McDonnell told legislators in explaining the 552-page revised budget he presented them.
McDonnell offers 150 midpoint amendments for year two of the budget that prescribe a total of $524 million in agency savings or spending cuts. He made 204 amendments that increase state spending by a total of $735.1 million.
While that's a net increase of $211 million in spending over cuts, it's less than one-fourth of a percentage point in the scope of an $80 billion biennial state spending blueprint.
Nearly $59 million worth of the proposed spending increases would fund the state's share of a 2 percent raise for teachers, librarians, principals and instructional aides _ their first in four years. McDonnell disclosed that proposal last week, tying the appropriation to passing McDonnell's "Educator Fairness Act," which would make it easier for local school districts to fire underperforming and incompetent teachers, a provision the 60,000-member Virginia Education Association is wary of. An additional $15 million McDonnell also seeks as merit pay for teachers is not dependent on passing the EFA.
McDonnell seeks nearly $70 million to hold down health insurance premium rate increases for state employees. Co-payments for emergency room visits would increase from $125 to $150.
He asks for nearly $115 million in increased spending to cover expanded use and inflation for health care services through Medicaid, the federal-state program that covers the needy, disabled, elderly, blind and low-income families with children.
But he was unequivocal in rejecting an expansion of the program in addition to his decision not to establish a state-run health benefits exchange.
"I've staked out my position, and it's no surprise to anybody that I say that I believe it's expensive, it's bureaucratic, it raises taxes and it's inflexible, and now, 2 1/2 years after its passage, many important policy questions still remain unanswered," McDonnell said.
His amendments shift about $48 million from the general fund to transportation by slightly increasing transportation's share of the state retail sales and use tax. McDonnell said he hopes to generate an additional $500 million annually for highway maintenance but didn't discuss details of the package he will introduce before the legislature convenes Jan. 9. He said there will be a funding bill separate from his new budget amendments.
Serious questions await about the legislature's willingness to consider a major highway funding overhaul placed before them with little notice. House Speaker Bill Howell, a fellow Republican, said the remaining year of McDonnell's term may be insufficient to develop a legislative consensus for such large legislation.
"To do something significant, whether it be abolition of parole or K-12 reform or whatever the major issue, you can't just come pop in and say we're going to do it," Howell said after McDonnell's hourlong address to legislators.
"I don't put too much credence in that," McDonnell said of Howell's reluctance. "I think the speaker and I are going to work together. I think he'd like to get something done."
Democrats don't like McDonnell's proposal to divert an increasing share of the sales tax from the general fund into transportation, increasing the highway share from 0.5 cents of the 5-cent sales tax to 0.55 of a cent.
"Typically, the gas tax and federal funds pay for transportation, not funding from schools, from human services, from public safety," said Sen. Janet Howell, D-Fairfax.
McDonnell, however, was adamant.
"I categorically reject any contention that you can't use general fund for transportation. It's simply false," he said. "We've had $450 million in budget surpluses on average three years in a row, so taking an additional $50 million for transportation is imminently doable." He said he would be "insistent that it be part of the plan."

Modular orthopedic devices, common in replacement joints, allow surgeons to tailor the size, material, and design of an implant directly to a patient's needs. This flexibility and customization is counterbalanced, however, by a need for the implant components to fit together correctly. With parts that are not ideally matched, micro-motions and stresses on mismatched surfaces can cause fretting fatigue and corrosion. Researchers at Continuum Blue Ltd. have assessed changes to femoral implant designs to quantify and prevent this damage.Read more ⇢

According to AMPHOS 21, a COMSOL Certified Consultant, one of the proposed solutions to releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere is to store the CO2 in geological formations, a technique referred to as carbon dioxide sequestration. This notion led the engineers at AMPHOS 21 to study the physical and chemical processes that occur during the injection of the gas into earth's subsurface.Read more ⇢

Today, we invite guest blogger Nagi Elabbasi of Veryst Engineering to share a modeling example of immersed beams. When thin structures such as beams, plates, or shells are immersed in a fluid, their natural frequencies are reduced. The fluid also affects their mode shapes and is a source of damping.

Weddings in Turkey
July 2010
We are looking at getting married in Turkey in the next few years and would love any advice/hints from anyone who has already done so/going through the process of etc.
Any advice or thoughts on the matter would be very much appreciated
July 2010
Hi there
Whereabouts in Turkey would you like to get married? Are you both non-Turkish citizens and if so which country are you from?
It's not difficult to get married here and I would like to offer to help you with the necessary paperwork, choosing a venue, etc etc.
Everything is available here from small intimate ceremonies to lavish parties! Even getting a wedding dress and suits can be done and generally at a fraction of UK costs.
But to help you further I need a little bit of information from you!! For example if you are a UK citizen you need a Certificate of Non Impediment (CONI) from the Registry Office in the UK. This then has to be translated into Turkish for which there is a fee payable.
Please give me more details and then I'll offer you all the help I can :o)
You have chosen a beautiful country to get married in.
July 2010
We are both UK citizens and I am planning on purchasing my dress here. However, suit hire for the men might be worth looking at. We have alreadu chosen the blue lagoon - we have stopped in Orka Hotel a few times and love the area so much we have decided it would be ideal for us. We are not planning on getting wed until at least 2012 if not 2013, but as places are booked up here 2 years in advance it seems at a minimum, thought I would start making enquiries now
July 2010
Good idea :o)
Check out the Turkish Consulate website http://www.turkishconsulate.org.uk/en/marriage_divorce.asp?PageID=2
This gives the legal requirements and gives you a starting point. The main person you need to organise is an interpreter/translator for the documents.
Are you planning on doing most of the organisation yourselves? It will certainly work out cheaper that way. I suggest that next time you are in Turkey at your chosen location you do some asking around for venues for the celebration, deals on hotels if you will be a large party and florists. Be very firm with what you want giving pictures if necessary!!! Ask around and find out where you can have the civil ceremony and party.
The main thing to remember though is nothing will be allowed to happen without the CONI and this is only valid for 6 months from the date of issue (it's the equivalent of the UK Banns)
Check out a few of the websites of companies offering to plan your weddingfor ideas and legalities - then do it yourselves.
Often the best way to find an interpreter is at the nearest university or college. Or the local Noter Office will have a list.
Good luck and fire away if you have any more questions :o)
July 2010
hi there can you help ..my daughter wants to marry sept11 lara beach or belek area .. got it down to a few hotels to stay and have the ceremony
xanadu,,,,,,royal wings...........barut lara .....cornellia diamond..sussie
and we need help with the legalities.can you help please
July 2010
The first thing they need to do is get their Certificate of Non Impediment from the UK Registry Office closest to them - this takes 21 days and is valid for 6 months (3 if from Scotland).
I can help you - send me a contact email address and I will do my upmost. Don't want to fill the forum here with all our correspondence!!
Sorry for the delay in this reply but I wasn't notified of your post :o(
How many are planning on coming to Turkey and attending the wedding? are both bride and groom UK citizens?
Look forward to hearing from you
January 2011
Hi , im also planning to get married in turkey as me and my partner fell in love with the place a couple of year ago we stayed at the Yalcin hotel in hisaronu not far from the blue lagoon it is a brilliant hotel and they also do weddings the family who run the hotel are fantastic especially Eric go on there website and see for yourself. good luck with your wedding plans and hope your wedding day is fantasic.

Hi Clare
Myself and my partner want to get married in belek whilst on holiday with 10 friends and family members in May this year. we are staying at Arcadia golf resort. can you help?
February 2011
You must both have the correct documentation. If you are UK citizens you will need your certificate of Non Imediment (CONI) which you can obtain from your local registry office. You can't get married in Turkey without these.
Check out the Turkish Consulate website for other information on the documents required http://www.turkishconsulate.org.uk/en/marriage_divorce.asp?PageID=2
It may be worth contacting the Arcadia and find out if they will help with any of the formalities - they will charge you!! It is possible to arrange your own wedding but very useful to have help especially with the translation of documents etc. You will need the help of a person that speaks Turkish or contact the consulate in Antalya
British Vice-Consulate, ANTALYA
February 2011
February 2011
First of all check out the Turkish Consulate website http://www.turkishconsulate.org.uk/en/marriage_divorce.asp?
As a minimum I think you will need passports, birth certificates and documentation declaring it is legal for you to marry. These all have to be translated into Turkish by a recognised interpreter in Turkey.
It may be worth your while doing a search on Google for wedding planners in Turkey and seeking their advice.
If you have a particular venue in mind contact them as well to find out if they offer wedding planning.
OK you will have to pay for the service but it does take a lot of worry away from you.
Good luck :o)

Finding a wedding planner can make your plans run smoother.

Agan the main document you need other than passport and birth certificates is the CONI - Certificate of Non-Impediment from the UK registry office and the equivelent for your husband to be.

Can you help with any advice on getting married in lara beach. Really like some hotels from Thomas Cook. But they dont feature in their wedding collection. Is it still possible to marry in some of these hotels using a wedding planner? I have found it difficult to track down hotel direct e-mails to request this information (probably just being a bit thick!!)
Any advice much appreciated x

Your marriage must be conducted by a Turkish official. You must obtain a document from the proper authorities in your own country attesting to your fitness for marriage: a marriage license or statement (Evlenme Ehliyet Belgesi) from embassy or consular authoritys resident in Turkey. Only civil marriage is legal in Turkey. You may, of course, have any religious ceremony you wish in addition to the civil one, but the religious service has no legal standing in Turkey.
The minimum age for marriage is 18 years.
Only those persons who have sufficient mental capacity to make fair judgments are allowed to marry. Mental illness is a bar to marriage.
Marriage between close relatives is prohibited.
Any previous marriage must have been dissolved before you can marry in Turkey. Polygamy and polyandry are illegal.
A divorced woman must wait 300 days following the date of her divorce to marry again. A Turkish divorce decree may also require a waiting period for a divorced man.
Certain illnesses, such as epilepsy, constitute a bar to marriage.
Documents necessary to be married in Turkey:
1. Marriage petition (Evlenme Beyannamesi)
2. Certificate of Capacity to Marry (Evlenme Ehliyet Belgesi): either a marriage license from your own country, or a statement from your country's consulate or embassy in Turkey
3. Personal identification (passport, identification card, birth certificate or health certificate)
4. Photographs of the bride and groom (four copies of each) for the official records.
May 2011
The main thing to arrange is your CONI (Certificate of Non Impediment) which you get from your local registry office. It is valid here for 6 months from the date of issue. A lot of people forget this and it really holds things up as you have to apply at the consulate and then collect it 21 days later. It's sort of the equivalent of banns.
To live here you would have to apply for a residents permit at the local polis yabanci (foreigner) department. The cost has recently come down for UK residents which is great. I applied and had to take along my passport and bank statements (with photocopies) then fill in the forms then and there. I then collected the permit a week later.
Where are you intending to live and marry?
Anything else you want to know just shout :o)

Hi myself and my wife would like to renew our vows when we go to Turkey on holiday this year (June 17th to June 30th), we are staying in the Sherwood Dreams hotel in Belek, can you give us any advice or point us in the right direction of how to go about booking something. We are already married so we dont actually need all the different paperwork I would assume, we are just looking to book some kind of ceremony either in our hotel or in the international church in Belek.
We wanted to book it through the tour operator Thomas Cook, but they quoted us £839 and for a simple ceremony I would like to think we can get it cheaper by doing it ourselves.
Please can you advise, any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi! There.
I like to attend weds in turkey because the places of turkey is more attractive and turkey's environment is so beautiful. So, I can visits the places of turkey and make it very enjoyable.
February 2012
Hi Jieh
Renewing vows is a different ball game to getting married here.
I don't know of a church in Belek but there is a very international one in the centre of Antalya - in Kaleici, the old town.
St. Paul Union Church
Yeni Kapi Sokak No: 24, Old City, Antalya
Mailing address: P.K. 447, Antalya, Turkey
E-mail: spuc@stpaulcc-turkey,com
Website: http:\www,stpaulcc-turkey,com
Tel: +22.214.171.12494
Fax: +22.214.171.12495
There is also the Church of St Nicholas at Demre - now I did see that they did weddings there on 6th December, but these are sort of mass weddings and lots of couples get married at the same time......
I did find these contact details though:
St. Nicholas Church kar??s?. Demre/Antalya/TURKEY
Tel: +90 242 871 6248
Fax: +90 242 871 6900

You could contact the Sherwood Dreams directly and see if they can offer any package/prices etc. My guess is they'll be a lot cheaper than Thomas Cook
Sherwood Dreams Resort

Bo?azak Mahallesi 29.Sokak No : 9

Obviously if you want a celebrant to officiate that will cost you. Also for a translator as well.
This is quite tricky as all (legal) marriages in Turkey are civil rather than religious. I went to a civil ceremony last weekend and it was over in less than 15 minutes!

Hi, I'm looking to get married in Turkey in June 2013. I've found the resort I want to stay at - the Delphin Diva in Antalya but am not sure what to do for the best ceremony wise. There will only be about 10 of us going out there so I don't want to have a huge reception but organising the ceremony myself when I know nothing about it (besides getting a CONI) is a really daunting task. Does anyone know if the Delphin diva could help with a wedding planner? I want to have my hair done beforehand and have some flowers but have no idea where to start. I've been looking every day for a week and it's starting to put me off the idea :o/
TIA for any advice
February 2012
Hi Anna
Are you planning on visiting Antalya before your wedding? ?t could be the easiest way to get your arrangements under way.
The Turkish Embassy gives the regulations here http://www.turkishconsulate.org.uk/en/marriage_divorce.asp?PageID=2
The British vice consulate in Antalya may offer advice for the local area. http://ukinturkey.fco.gov.uk/en/about-us/other-locations/brit-vice-cons-antalya/3660302
All legal marriages are civil ceremonys. The official will visit hotels or other places but you do need to contact them in advance. Also documentation needs to be translated to be valid. Remember your CON? ?s only valid for 6 months from the date of issue.
Hair is an easy one!! There are so many hairdressers in Turkey and all offer hair, nails etc at a fraction of UK prices. Flowers are also available as well.
A visit here before hand would be really worthwhile and probably a lot cheaper than a wedding planner! Have you contacted the hotel to ask your questions? Contact Details :
Hotel Delphin Diva Premiere
Kemera?z? Mevkii Lara - Antalya - T
February 2012
Hi clarecg, thank you so much for your reply. We aren't able to come out beforehand unfortunately
I have my heart set on the Delphin Diva but the wedding itself seems so complicated with so much involved! From all I have read this is how I understand things (please correct me if I am wrong)
1. Get the CONI
2. Once in Turkey, take all documents to the British Embassy in Antalya to get them translated, pay a fee. Book the ceremony.
3. Need a translator present during the ceremony, pay for this too.
4. need 2 witnesses who are not immediate family - the only people coming with us ARE immediate family
5. the marriage certificate will need to be translated back into english once we are back in the UK if we are to use it for name change purposes etc. which also seems a bit long winded.
I'm sure I have missed out loads of things but my brain is fried!
Am I able to give a personal e-mail address out for further advice do you know?
Thanks again,
March 2012
Should anyone looking for professional help to get married in Turkey, you can check www.turkeyweddings.com most questions are answered in site, their fees and they can assist couples all around Turkey.
Good luck, and have fun on your wedding....
April 2012
Anna - so sorry for not replying but connection problems coupled with a very heavy workload at the moment have made me a very lax correspondent.
Not sure about the consulate translation or whether you can get the documents translated then verified by a Noter. Here's the contact details for the Consulate - no email...... but maybe you can fax and ask your questions.
November 2012
Hi Clarecg
we are visiting the Delphin Imperial in August 2013 and will be returning 2014 to get married, we are looking for a wedding planner who can help us with the legalities and organisation.
Is there anyone you can recommend??
November 2012
Hi Paul
Sorry I don't know of anyone personally - a lot of us did all the legwork ourselves :oS
?t may be worth browsing through Google and identify a few then take time when you come next year to check them out. Also email the hotel and see if they offer any of the services.
The main thing you both need is a Certificate of Non ?mpediment (CONI) fromt he UK regisrty office but not until a few months before the date of your wedding - ? think they are valid for 6 months here but you can't marry without one each!!
Sorry not to be more help

Hi I'm looking to get married in June 2014 we are looking for a really nice hotel but that has something for the children i.e slides and kids club can you recommend anywhere please? we originally looked at the holiday village serigerme but the 9 hour round trip to the consulate has put me off thanks sarah x
December 2012
Hi Sarah81
Is there any particular area of Turkey you would prefer?
Not sure if you actually need to go to the consulate if you both have your CONI (Certificate of non-impediment) There is a vice consul in Antalya (Konyaalti area) so possibly worth looking at Antalya hotels. I hardly ever stay in hotels here but may be worth looking at Lara, Beldibi (about an hour by bus from the consulate). If I do use hotels it tends to be the smaller family run places.

Layalej many people arrange their own weddings in Turkey on a very small budget so I am not sure why you find it so expensive. Are you using a wedding planner? The following may help you to find your way to planning it yourself.. There is no minimum residency requirement to marry in Turkey but you will need 3-4 days for the paperwork.
marriage ceremonies are recognised in Turkey. The civil ceremony is normally conducted by the local registrar (Evlendirme Dairesi) and the service takes 5-10 minutes As the ceremony is conducted in Turkish you may need a translator. A religious ceremony may take place only after the civil ceremony has been completed
It is the law in Turkey for couples to have blood tests/medicals before the wedding, the registry office will tell you which clinic to go to.
You do not say how many guests will be at your wedding , but you can book a restaurant or hotel for your wedding party.There are hundreds of marvellous restaurants in Istanbul I am sure you can find one to suit you.
I found this website for you which you may find helpful, its arranging a wedding for Lebanese in Istanbul.

Deaar Layale,
Kindly remind you that foreign people gets married at their ambassy or consulate.
I suggess you to adress authorities to have certain info.
September 2013
Omerozturk, your information is incorrect foreigners do
get married at their embassy and consulate. Non Turks resident in Turkey marry in the same way as Turks.
If you check this link to the US Embassy it clearly states that NO marriages are performed at the Embassy or consulate.
September 2013
I noticed that foreign citizens should adress 1st to their authorities who is consulate, embassy to be able to proceed. As you linked it says foreigners should follow up certain ways to be able collect some official documents.
September 2013
Omerozturk, the reason foreigners go to their own embassy or consulate is to verify and translate their documents which must then be taken to the local governors office in Turkey to be certified.
This link gives clear guidance on foreigners marrying in Turkey. I chose links to the USA and UK website as they are in English but the Turkish marriage law is the same for all foreigners
October 2013
I live in Ireland with my partner and were getting married in turkey next sep we have a wedding planner which is telling us we don't have to have a civil ceremony that we can get married for real in turkey any one know what forms and stuff I need to have and get in Ireland before we go over

Sebastian Vettel is ready for a very "demanding" Korea track while Mark Webber will be eyeing a good result.
For all the latest F1 odds on the Korean Grand Prix, round 16 of the 2012 F1 Championship, visit Sky Bet.
Sebastian Vettel: "In principle, the track is made up of two parts: a permanent race track and the end, which is more like a street circuit although we're not in the city. The track is located on the western edge of the province of Yeongam, which is in the far south of the country. The circuit is demanding and the last section is very tight."
Mark Webber: "The Korean circuit is like a fast Budapest. It has long straights early in the lap; I had a good fight there with Lewis last year, which I enjoyed. The last two sectors are very busy with lots of corners. Generally it can be a little bit cold there, so we'll see what that throws up to us in terms of the tyres. As always, we'll be looking for a good result."

text: Today this blog got the most pageviews ever. I suspect it is because some cousins were looking at my old family history site, and googled. I have not told anyone about this site because it's not finished yet. I have a dozen more family pages to write. However, this is also the start of the new semester so I am not working on this site this week. So this post is really a note to any post-Costigan-reunion cousins showing up to say: get in touch if you need more info. The website is an incomplete work in progress.

Lotus have apologised for using some colourful language during a radio exchange with Kimi Raikkonen during the Indian Grand Prix.
Raikkonen and team-mate Romain Grosjean were battling over third place in the latter stages of Sunday's race and trackside operations director Alan Permane told the Finn to "move out of the ****ing way".
The reply from Raikkonen also included the "****ing" word, but he eventually allowed the Frenchman through.
Team principal Eric Boullier admits they went too far, promising it won't happen again.
"Romain was two seconds per lap faster than Kimi at that time, so it was not even a team order," Boullier told the team's official website.
"With hindsight, this radio message could have been sent in a less emotional way. There was a lot of tension, a lot of potential technical problems, and some of the words that flew around were simply not appropriate," added the Frenchman.
"I know that quite a few people were surprised and I can only apologise for that on behalf of the team. It won't happen again."

Little Things Count
How many times have you driven down a street, only to see somebody's sprinkler system going full blast ? in a rainstorm? Little things do make a difference to our planet. Just by being aware of what we do (or don't do) can help us take a big strain off our environment. Here are 10 simple things you can do to help save money, resources, and give your planet a breather.

Asia has a disproportionate share of the world's young, working-age population—which represents the most mobile cohort—with resulting major immigration flows to other regions of the world, and increasing intraregional migration as aging and demographic transitions occur at different levels within Asia. The research here focuses in particular on how the labor-sending countries of the region, notably the Philippines and other Colombo Process countries, manage these migration flows, engage in bilateral and multilateral cooperation with migrant-receiving nations, and engage their diasporas. The recruitment process and regulation of recruitment agencies also represent a strand of the work offered here.
In this edition of the Migration Information Source's annual Top 10 migration issues of the year, Migration Policy Institute experts analyze key immigration developments and trends that occurred around the globe during 2014. The countdown to No. 1 is underway, with the publication of Issues No. 10 through 4. Come back tomorrow to learn what are the Top 3 issues of the year.
Internal migration spurred primarily by employment and marriage helps shape the economic, social, and political life of India's sending and receiving regions. Labor migrants face myriad challenges, including restricted access to basic needs such as identity documentation and social entitlements. This article describes the barriers to integration that labor migrants face, and details the policy environment surrounding their integration challenges.
Tsuneo Akaha of the Monterey Institute of International Studies looks at emerging migration patterns in North Korea, China, Russia, and Japan.
Christine Inglis provides an update on the competing economic, political, and cultural forces that are challenging Australia's migration policy makers.
In May, following a UN withdrawal, East Timor's government will have more responsibility for dealing with thorny migration issues.
Ronald Skeldon of the University of Sussex maps out the migration patterns and policies of China, the source of tens of millions of migrants around the globe.
Cathy Small of Northern Arizona University outlines how past changes in the Kingdom of Tonga, as well as the current challenges, are intimately tied to migration.
This report analyzes the impact of established diaspora on the reduction of poverty in their countries of origin. It examines their contributions beyond individual remittances, in the dimensions of foreign direct investment, market development, technology transfer, philanthropy, tourism, political contributions, and the more intangible flows of knowledge, new attitudes, and cultural influence.
Although the relationship between migration and development has been widely discussed and debated for more than 30 years, a number of unanswered questions and unsettled debates remain. On April 11 and 12, 2003, the Migration Policy Institute sought to advance the dialogue. This report summarizes the key talking points of the high level meeting and offers some key summary remarks.

David Lee King, Nate Hill, and I presented a session on making user interactions rock.
David's half of the session was a discussion of "meta-social." How do you connect with your users? David has a list of 8 metasocial tools.
#1: status updates. Answer questions, ask questions, market the library's events and services, share multi-media, All of this equals real connections to your customers. David's library posted a user comment from their physical comment box about the art gallery, and the artist commented back, then a user…libraries connecting customers to the content creator.
#2: long posts. Blogs are examples of this, even Facebook notes, longer descriptions under a Flickr photo. It's a way to share ideas in a longer format—events, thoughts, reviews, new materials. David's library's local history department posted a photo of a cupola from a building in the town that was demolished. They wrote about it in a blog post on their website, talking about the demolition and how they got the artifacts.
#3: comments. All of those status updates and longer posts don't live in a vacuum. Comment back and have a conversation with users who are commenting to you. On one of the library's children's blogs, the author commented back on a post about his/her book.
#4: visuals. This can include photos and videos. Blip.tv, YouTube, and Vimeo are the usual suspects for video. Flickr and Picassa are most-used for photos. And this multi-media visual content can be embedded in many places. David showed a neat photo from the library's "edible books" program. It's a way to extend a physical event, getting more customer interaction and use online than you probably did in-person.
#5: livestreaming. This allows people to watch moments as they happen. David suggests livestreaming library events.
#6: friending and subscribing (aka following or liking). This lets users tell you they like you, but it also is a way for you to show that love back to your users.
#7: checking in. Yelp, Facebook Places, Foursquare, Gowalla. You can do this at the library, having good tips for your library's services.
#8: quick stuff. Rating, liking, favoriting, digging, poking, starring. These are very informal quick interactions that tell you how much people like or don't like something you're doing. You can embed Facebook liking into your website.
Suggestions for starting out with social media. The first tip is to stop. You need some goals and strategy. Otherwise you'll do it for a few months and then give up, and your site will live on, inactive and not useful. What are you going to put out there, who is going to do the work, how do you want to respond to people interacting with you? Listen to see if people are talking about you and read what they're saying – on Twitter, Google Alerts, Flickr tags, etc. You want friends! So let people friend you and friend them back. Focus on people living in your service area. Follow your customers first, not non-local figures like, say, other librarians. Think about your posts as conversation starters. Ask what your users think to encourage participation. Customers love social media, they're already there, and they're waiting for someone to start the conversation. That person is you.

Sebastian Vettel says he will focus on his own United States GP and not worry about title rival Fernando Alonso's woes.
While Vettel claimed pole position at the Circuit of the Americas on Saturday, Alonso could only manage the ninth fastest time, 1.643s off the pace.
The Ferrari driver will start the grand prix eighth on the grid after Romain Grosjean was penalised.
If the race were to finish with the duo in their starting positions Vettel would claim his third World title as Alonso needs to be inside the top four should the Red Bull racer clinch the victory.
"There's not much to feel [about Alonso being down in eighth]," he said. "We have to look after ourselves.
"I'm very happy, we had a smooth session. We had an issue yestersday and we lost time, things have happened and they might happen again.
"It is the best strategy to keep your head down and try to do your best. I am very happy with the result but so far nobody has scored any points.
"We saw in the last race how quickly things can change and starting from the back gives you opportunities. We will focus on our race and tomorrow aim to seal the Constructors' title for the team."
As for his pole position, the sixth of his campaign, the German reckons it's "fantastic" to be starting the grand prix on the clean side of the grid.
"We're very pleased. We started on the right foot in first practice.
"It was extremely slippery to start with. The circuit is brand new and it takes a while to come in, but it was quite a lot of fun to slide a couple of corners.
"In the final section I would have loved to have gone a bit quicker. It was a bit closer than I wanted, but fantastic to start on the front and on the clean side."

An ice jam on the Sauquoit Creek was cause for concern Wednesday for neighbors in the Village of Whitesboro. It's an area prone to flooding and once again, residents were looking at another potential disaster. Cara Thomas has more.
ONEIDA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Flood concerns are over for people living along Sauquoit Creek. An ice jam formed near Whitesboro Wednesday, preventing any water from flowing through.
With a a lot of rain in the forecast, emergency officials feared it could mean another flood for the village.
But Wednesday night, the ice jam broke lose and crews were able to get rid of the debris. Back in the fall of 2011, Whitesboro experienced severe flooding where fire departments had to rescue people from their homes. As a result, houses and businesses were damaged and people were without power for days.
But emergency crews say they learned their lesson last time and were ready for whatever Mother Nature brought their way.
Yorkville Fire Chief Joe Morosco said, "We have all sorts of pumps that we pump out cellars, get people to safety, make sure furnace, ags and electric to homes are turned off so we don't have an explosion problem."
Officials say they'll continue to monitor the creek with the changing weather, but don't expect to have any problems.

THE BEST WAYS TO USE THE iPAD IN THE OFFICE
Being quick and nimble is an advantage in every aspect of life. And those are the attributes the Apple iPad delivers so flawlessly.

That's so 2011.Armed with a sleek and lightweight iPad, creative business pros have all the "tools of the trade" with them wherever they are. They can move seamlessly from desk to conference room to commuter train and take care of business every step of the way.

There are Apple apps and third party software that give iPad users all the standard "Office" programs they require. And, with iCloud and other cloud computing options, having the latest versions of documents at your fingertips is never an issue.Using the iPad in the office really gets powerful—and fun—when you start to take advantage of its creative and inspirational potential. Check out the free Evernote app. It allows you to capture ideas, images, sounds, videos, webpages and more and share them with others on your team and between all your computing devices.
There are also fantastic free online "whiteboards" like Scriblink and Scribbler that let you brainstorm with people no matter where they're located. With an iPad and the right apps you can let people see and hear your ideas instead of just trying to explain them. Think of the iPad as a way to turn dull memos into multi-media presentations.You want to have your iPad with you 24/7.

GOP hangs on to House, Dems likely to keep Senate
By DAN MIHALOPOULOS Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com November 6, 2012 9:40PM
Democrat Joe Donnelly, joined by his wife Jill, thanks supporters after winning the U.S. Senate race against Republican Richard Mourdock at an election night celebration in Indianapolis, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy)
Updated: December 8, 2012 6:16AM
Newly re-elected President Barack Obama again will have to deal with a divided Congress in his second term, as Republicans held onto control of the House in Tuesday's election and Democrats appeared likely to retain a small majority in the Senate.
The Republican Party was projected to keep possession of a majority of the 435 House seats, all of which were up for election Tuesday. The party entered the day with a 249-193 advantage, meaning Democrats needed to gain 25 seats to rebound from losing the House two years ago.
The Democratic Party came into the election with a narrow edge in the Senate and appeared poised to hold on to its majority, even as 23 Democrats and 10 Republican senators were up for re-election.
The president's party swept races for seats representing Massachusetts, Indiana and Missouri, where Republican Sen. Todd Akin drew scorn after suggesting that rape couldn't lead to pregnancy. Incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill repelled Akin's challenge.
In Indiana, Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly defeated Republican Richard Mourdock for the seat that was long held by Republican Sen. Richard Lugar. Donnelly and Mourdock had been running neck and neck, according to pre-election polls — until Mourdock said pregnancy caused by rape "is something that God intended to happen."
In Massachusetts, Democrat Elizabeth Warren unseated Republican Sen. Scott Brown to reclaim the Senate seat that had been held for decades by the late Ted Kennedy.
Longtime Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Chicago said he wasn't fazed to hear that his party was positioned to remain in the minority in the House. "It was an uphill battle to take the House back," Gutierrez said.
He said it would be enough for him if the Democratic numbers in the House grow and if his party's majority in the Illinois congressional delegation increased.
"I'm delighted [Tammy] Duckworth and [Bill] Foster will be joining us," he said of Democratic congressional candidates in hotly contested races in the Chicago suburbs.
