"Depending on the gown, it can also reflect a sense of romanticism, tradition and timelessness." Last year's royal wedding isn't the only ember fueling the bridal lace furor. Another iconic wedding dress surfaced last year stoking the blaze. Carolina Herrera's wedding dress worn by "Twilight" character Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) in the latest movie was a modern take on Victorian elegance. The body-conscious fit enumerated every slight curve while the French lace paid homage to an era of tradition without prudish inhibitions. The open back also added a bit of contemporary sex appeal.

Check out Tuesday's Your Financial Health section for tips on saving for the big day. It was only befitting that Kate Middleton would wear a gown that incorporated lace to marry Prince William in what became the most fairytale wedding ceremony in recent memory. Her dress was a merger of traditional beauty and royal glamour, subdued but quite unforgettable. One couldn't help but be captivated by the intricate lace appliqu� detailing that ran over such a fitted bodice and flowing skirt. The open-work fabric has elicited a sense of regal high society ever since Queen Victoria donned Honiton lace at her wedding to Prince Albert in 1840. "Lace evokes a sense of delicateness and fondness for detail," of incorporating lace into readyto-wear collections, it has once again become a wedding dress staple for 2012. "We have tons of girls coming in asking for lace and vintage-looking (gowns)," said Tabitha Freije, a sales associate at The Bridal Boutique and Mr. Penguin Tuxedo in Lafayette. "The royal wedding definitely helped, and a lot more girls are having traditional weddings these days. Now that the economy is getting better, they are able to spend a little more and have that dream wedding." Lace has been incorporated onto modern dresses in several ways. At times, it's in the details -- lace tiers to give a dress texture or lace masked underneath See LACE, Next Page Friday, January 20, 2012 | jconline.com LACE from Page 2 Celebrations 3 Grooms' cakes get elaborate By LISA A. FLAM The Associated Press organza overlay. "Designers create unique patterns by mixing different laces together or carefully layering them on top of each for depth and dimension," Rentillo said. Other times it's in the embellishments -- lace appliqu� sewn right onto the satin in floral designs highlighted with detailed beadwork. But these days, it's often in full view -- a lace train trailing behind a gown or a ball gown covered in lace. The silhouettes vary as well. There's lace on all kinds of wedding gowns from mermaid to ball gowns, Freije said. Lace also has been used on dresses with shorter hemlines, either the actual wedding dress or a second reception dress, Rentillo said. "Styling can range from traditional to a little sexy," he added. Although a delicate fabric, lace is a strong indicator of a bride's fashion sensibilities. Many brides are going the traditional route with lace-covered dresses that evoke classic styles. (BY MICHAEL HEINZ/JOURNAL & COURIER) "It shows she wants a traditional wedding," Freije said. "She wants to look classy instead of the modern, fun look. It shows that she's serious about what she's doing and that she has some style." Baseball stadiums, poker chips and racks of saucy ribs don't usually come to mind when you think "wedding." But these manly pursuits have found their way to the dessert table through a new breed of groom's cake that is more elaborate and personal than ever. Traditionally a gift from the bride to her new husband, the groom's cake was usually a simple affair, made with fruit and liquor, and perhaps chocolate. It is believed to have originated in Victorian England and arrived in the United States in the mid-19th century, where it became popular mostly in the South. Take today's trend of highly personalized weddings, add the fact that more grooms are involved in wedding planning, and throw in the popularity of extreme baking shows such as TLC network's "Cake Boss," and you'll find that humble groom's cakes have evolved into works of edible art. While traditionalists still honor the groom with a plain, round cake, many couples are ordering cakes in the groom's favorite flavor and in the shape of golf clubs, fishing gear, football helmets, smartphones, and guys-night foods such as burgers, pizza and hot dogs. "It's really about the groom's interests and his hobbies and something that's reflective of the groom," said Darcy Miller, editorial director of Martha Stewart Weddings. "A wedding is about the two of them. That's one detail that can be all about the groom." After last spring's royal wedding, at which Britain's Prince William requested a groom's cake made of biscuits, the popularity of the cakes among U.S. couples is likely to get another boost, Miller said. "All eyes were on that wedding," she said. "I think (William's) groom's cake will definitely help inspire the growing trend here." Getting the party started Wedding DJ shares his secrets, tips for a rocking reception By TIM BROUK email@example.com 4 Celebrations jconline.com | Friday, January 20, 2012 To make it as a DJ in Greater Lafayette, you have to be versatile. DJ Mixmaster J -- also known as Jerry Strok -- has a home base and a booth he built himself at the End Zone, a sports bar and grill that doubles as a booty-shaking night club on Friday and Saturday nights. When he's not spinning beats for the party people in Lafayette's south side, Strok provides music for weddings, after-prom parties, Central Catholic High School football games and other events. No matter what the gig, Strok relies on beat-matching and avoiding "trainwrecks" -- when the music loses the beat or stops all-together -- at his gigs, whether it's a club or a wedding. Strok gets wedding DJ jobs in Greater Lafayette, Indianapolis and in his home state of Wisconsin. On a snowy Thursday afternoon, Strok told his secrets of keeping a wedding reception dance floor going, what happens when you comDJ Mixmaster J -- also known as Jerry Strok -- is a DJ at many events in bine a broom, stripper music and Lafayette, including weddings. (BY TIM BROUK/JOURNAL & COURIER) Grandma, and how "The Chicken Dance" makes it into the wedding reception. Question: How do you balance the club and wedding gigs? A: All my weddings are wordof-mouth. I have cards. I get a lot of brides who come up to me here (at the End Zone) and say "This is the kind of DJ I want at my wedding." A lot of DJs -- I call them jukebox DJs -- don't do the art of DJing. That's how I get a lot of my business. Q: What is the "art of DJing" to you? A: Just the mixing, the blending of the music transitions. Your jukebox DJs and iPod DJs, they'll be playing "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot and then all of a sudden See DJ, Next Page Friday, January 20, 2012 | jconline.com DJ from Page 4 Celebrations 5 they're playing something way off-beat and people will be out dancing and that will mess them up. We can blend in that slower beat. We can gradually get there without missing a beat. Q: What process do you have in planning your set for a wedding? A: I send them a packet, itinerary and order of events. I let them go over that. I send them a packet of songs of the first dance, the removing of the garter, things like that. Usually, it's a six-month gap before the wedding. I have them review that and look at that all over. Between then, they might come up with something else. I send them a wedding DJ top200 list with songs you hear at every wedding: "Dancing Queen," "Sweet Caroline," "Don't Stop Believin'." I say "X" off the ones you don't want to hear. Then, we get together about nine weeks before the wedding and we'll go over everything and talk it out and then I'll meet with them about a week and a half or two weeks before the wedding to make sure we have all the right songs. We don't want to have the wrong songs. Last year down at the Crown Plaza (in downtown Indianapolis), I actually did a wedding ceremony also. So I do both the ceremony and the reception. Q: What are some songs guaranteed to get the people moving? A: I've been lucky. The last several weddings I've done, the dance floor has been packed. "Mambo No. 5" is a big one. Of course "Love Shack." I try to stay away from "Celebration." I do "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge, which gets the families out there. A big entrance song is "I Gotta Feeling." That's another thing we do is the grand entrance. We've done some crazy things with that. I come in with Frank Sinatra, real slow and elegant, and we'll flip it to Black Eyed Peas or something like that. "Sweet Caroline," AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long," things like that. Q: What's one of the craziest "Usually, it's the bride that will end up wanting (`The Chicken Dance') played and she'll be the one out there doing it. So usually the ones that are totally against it are all for it when it comes down to it. JERRY STROK, DJ Mixmaster J things you've done while DJing a wedding? A: I did a couple's wedding at The Trails and the father was a wedding DJ who recommended to do this thing called the broom dance. Everyone gets in this big circle and I play the song and they pass the broom around and when the song stops and you're holding the broom, you have to go in the middle and do some- thing with the broom. The bride came up to me and said "Watch my grandma. ... You gotta get my grandma." When it came around to her, she had no way to get out of it. I stopped it on her and took her out to the middle and put on a stripper song. That was pretty funny. Q: What's the most annoying part of the job? A: The little kids who come up and say, "Play this. Play this. Play this," while I'm playing something. Go back to your parents. Q: What's a song that you're sick of? A: Uh, "Chicken Dance." Most of the brides will say "Don't play `The Chicken Dance.' " I'll say, "Well, I'll only play that if somebody requests it and I clear it through you." Usually, it's the bride that will end up wanting it played and she'll be the one out there doing it. So usually the ones that are totally against it are all for it when it comes down to it. "The Macarena" is another one, but I don't play that.

The answer, too, seemed simple: love, of course. "But you can't use the word love," the Rev. Constance Redding Sidebottom said. "That makes it too easy." Sidebottom, 68, a retired United Methodist minister and my aunt, always asks couples for wedding letters and is certain they have transformative power. "Often weddings are for show," said Sidebottom, of Polson, Mont. "The sacredness is removed by the glitz and the money spent. But when couples are asked to write the letters, they often move to a deeper place. Their effort to be honest and genuine for one another is honored by God and made holy." Beyond the ban on the word "love," Sidebottom has other rules about the letters, which she reads out loud during the ceremony. Bride and groom are forbidden from sharing their letters with each other ahead of the wedding, and Sidebottom won't officiate without receiving them. Over her 11 years of full-time ministry, not one person has failed to write the letter, although some A stack of love letters sits beside the wooden box they are kept in at AP staffer Jennifer Dobner's home in Salt Lake City, Utah. Dobner and her husband write a love letter to each other each year and keep them all in the wooden box. (BY JENNIFER DOBNER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS) have cut it close, Sidebottom said. One groom delivered his to her door at 7 a.m. on the day he was to be married. "Every single bride and groom says they agonize over writing the letters because they understand how important they are," Sidebottom said. Nearly every faith tradition has a well-scripted formula for wedding ceremonies. There are specific prayers to be offered, scriptural passages to be read and vows to exchange. But the letters bring something different. Through their own words, the couple essentially writes their own sermon about life, love and their expectations for marriage, Sidebottom said. They add a personal touch to a ceremony much like self-written vows, a trend that began in the 1960s as some couples moved away from religious tradition, said Diane Warner, author of the "Complete Book of Wedding Vows" (New Page Books, 2006). Warner had not heard of Sidebottom's letters, but said that, especially in stricter faiths where customized vows are discouraged, they might be a way to satisfy both clergy and the couple. "And for those who have children, someday those letters will be a really valuable gift," said Warner, of Tucson, Ariz. The letters can reveal more about a couple's individual personalities and tell the "truth about what's really going on" between hearts, Sidebottom said. See LETTERS, Next Page Friday, January 20, 2012 | jconline.com LETTERS from Page 8 Celebrations downs," he said. We keep our letters in a wooden box carved with Xs and Os, on the dresser in our bedroom. The box was a gift from Sidebottom. Even now, the letters aren't easy to write. Some read like long book reports that chronicle the years' events -- the job loss, the death of our parents, our struggle through infertility and a failed attempt at adoption. Others are shorter, more literary and sweet. I'm not sure if that's a function of how much time we made for writing or some sign that we had fewer hills to climb that year. I doubt it's the latter. 9 A carpenter she married some years ago, for example, scrawled his thoughts on a bid sheet, while his bride carefully penned hers on beautiful stationery. The contrast made the congregation giggle. Another groom, a Naval officer, compared the bride to his favorite sandwich, peanut butter and jelly. "He said all these things about the stickiness and the sweetness and the savory, how all the right elements for a perfect dish had just happened to show up in her," said Sidebottom, who confesses the letter is her all-time favorite. "We couldn't stop laughing, and we couldn't stop crying." The simple act of reading the letters out loud can add emotional heft to a ceremony. "It's like the Holy Spirit infuses the place and it becomes (the couple's) wedding with God," Sidebottom said. "Everybody that is there is affected." She said many wedding guests have told her their own stories of transformation. Some have been inspired to begin writing anniversary letters to their spouse. Sidebottom often hears from couples she's married that the "It's like the Holy Spirit infuses the place and it becomes (the couple's) wedding with God. ... Everybody that is there is affected." THE REV. CONSTANCE retired United Methodist minister REDDING SIDEBOTTOM, letters have had a lasting impact on their marriage. At a visit to a church where she once was pastor, Sidebottom was approached by a man whose wedding she performed more than 16 years ago. "He and his wife are still married -- always a relief to me -- and they read their letters every anniversary, and at times in between when life was so hard that they had to remember why they wanted to marry," she said. Thirteen years after my own wedding, my husband, Bill Keshlear, and I are also still married, and still writing letters. We write a new one each year and read them out loud to each other on our anniversary. "It seems to help us re-commit somehow, through the ups and Some are messily scrawled on lined, yellow notepaper (mine), others (mostly his) are neatly typed and printed from the computer. Neither of us has ever skipped writing, although Bill likes to tease me each May by saying he's not going to do it this year. What's most interesting to me is how the threads from those first letters continue through each of the 24 we've written since. Our commitment to the idea of marriage hasn't changed, despite our mistakes and missteps. We love each other and like each other. We respect each other, and in each other we have found a comfortable place to call home. The Journal & Courier M A K I N G A CO N N E C T I O N 10 Celebrations jconline.com | Friday, January 20, 2012 Weddings ready-made for social media By LEANNE ITALIE The Associated Press NEW YORK -- As her grandfather sat pleasantly perplexed at her wedding, Lauren Barnes reached into the recesses of her strapless white gown, whipped out her iPhone and accepted her groom's Facebook relationship change to "married." "Nothing's official," she said, "until it's Facebook official!" In today's $78-billion-a-year business of getting hitched, those wacky viral videos of whole wedding parties dancing down the aisle seem positively 2009. Social media, mobile tools and online vendors are abundant to offer the happy couple extra fun, savings and convenience, though most of the nation's betrothed aren't ready to completely let go of tradition. Some send out video save-thedates, include high-speed scannable "QR" barcodes on invitations, live-stream their ceremonies for far-flung loved ones to watch online, and open their party playlists to let friends and families help choose the tunes. They invite guests to live tweet the big day using special Twitter keywords, called hashtags, and create interactive seating charts so tablemates can chat online ahead of time. One couple featured a "guest of the week" on their wedding blog. Another ordered up a cake with an iPad embedded at the base to Groom Steve Poland, right, and bride Caryn Hallock say their vows during their wedding ceremony in Buffalo, N.Y. Robert Palgutt, center, a friend of the bride and groom, got ordained online in order to perform their ceremony and read the nuptials from an iPad. (THE ASSOCIATED PRESS) stream photos at the reception. A third Skyped in a "virtual bridesmaid" who couldn't make it, so she was walked down the aisle by a groomsman via iPad. For Steve Poland, 31, in Buffalo, N.Y., it was the whole shebang for his Sept. 10 wedding. "We used the Twitter hashtag `polandwedding,' our nuptials were read from an iPad by our friend, who got ordained online, and our wedding invites were printed by the hip Us.moo.com as postcards that we mailed out. I was really hoping to use Turntable.fm as our music, but it didn't work out," he said. Oh, and Poland and his wife, Caryn Hallock, spent part of their honeymoon in a Hawaii tree house they found on Airbnb.com. According to surveys by the magazine sites Brides and The Knot, tech is on the rise in the world of weddings, with 65 percent of couples now setting up special sites to manage RSVPs, stream video of the ceremony and/or reception, and keep guests in the loop. One in five couples use mobile apps for planning. That includes chasing down vendors and virtually trying on and locating dresses. Seventeen percent of couples use social media to plan, shop or register for gifts, along with sharing every detail online. About 14 percent to 18 percent of brides buy a dress online, according to Brides. Nearly 1 in 5 couples go paperless for invitations or save-thedates. Many of those who have preserved the tradition of paper invites have dispensed with the inserts usually tucked inside envelopes, opting for email or Web tools for RSVPs, maps, and details on destinations or related events. From proposals on Twitter to Foursquare check-ins from the church or honeymoon, weddings seem ready-made for social media sharing -- or oversharing, depending on whether you're invited. Alexandra Linhares, 23, is nervous about that. She just moved to Marietta, Ga., but she's getting married in April back home in Highlands Ranch, Colo. She and fianc� Bradley Garritson, 24, are taking care not to gush too much to their hundreds of Facebook friends. Other couples turn off their Facebook walls so premature messages of congrats don't show up before they've announced their engagements. "There are a lot of people I work with on Facebook and who follow me on Twitter," Linhares said. "We don't want to hurt See MEDIA, Next Page Friday, January 20, 2012 | jconline.com MEDIA from Page 10 Celebrations 11 anybody's feelings." But apps and online services have saved her life, logistically speaking. "Since we're planning a wedding from thousands of miles away, we're relying heavily on technology to help us," she said. "We have a private Facebook group that we use to communicate with everyone in our bridal party since we're all in different states and countries." Linhares found her gown with the help of an app. She and Garritson rely on Skype meetings to interview vendors. They're keeping track of RSVPs on their phones, along with the usual tangle of deadlines. And they're using an app to keep track of their budget. The couple went to the cloud -- for online data storage and sharing -- to maintain a master spreadsheet everyone can access at any time, avoiding the need to push updates around in email. Such tools can be a godsend, so long as older or not-so-techie folk aren't stranded on the wrong side of the firewall. "But that list of people is shrinking fast," said Anja Winikka, site editor for The Knot. Brides found that 17 percent of couples register for gifts exclusively online. Sites have popped up making it easier to combine multiple registries into one -- such as MyRegistry.com -- and ask for cash at the same time for honeymoons or home repairs. Cris Stone, 33, will marry Jerry Delp, 44, in San Antonio, Texas, in May. "I already have a wedding website," she said. "People will be able to watch the wedding via live streaming, though it's only for the ceremony because I consider that the most important part of the wedding." John Ham, co-founder of Ustream, said about 10,000 weddings have been broad- cast live from the site -- Ustreamtv.com -- over the past 12 months. "People want to participate in the moment," he said. Stone is using DepositaGift.com. It offers a button on her wedding site so people can give cash for the couple's home remodel "without ever worrying about checks or actual cash envelopes," she said. "It's proven extremely popular so far, and surprisingly not with the younger crowd as we had originally assumed, but with the 40 to 55 set who like not worrying about losing the envelope," Stone said. She jiggered her Deposit a Gift so people can contribute $25 increments of brick, for instance, or $100 toward the cost of new windows. Nicole Endres, 25, in Centreville, Va., and fianc� Dan Rodriguez, 28, asked for cash, among other gifts, on their wedding website using Honeyfund.com, to help pay for their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic. On invitations, some couples are using the small, square QR codes to lead guests online for additional details, and sharing photos and video on Tumblr, Flickr, Picasa or numerous other fast, free sites. As for the Barnes and James Williams nuptials held Sept. 3 on the grounds of the Long Beach Art Museum, their officiant and friend Andrew Pachon used an iPad for the ceremony, but that and the Facebook fiddle to "married" was about it in the way of tech flourishes. Williams and Barnes, a 29-year-old physician from Long Beach, had Pachon explain toward the end of the ceremony that the couple wanted to share the moment with their 400-plus Facebook friends. Before the ceremony, Williams had sent his bride a Facebook request to change his relationship status to "married to Lauren Barnes." Once they were hitched, she accepted using her iPhone.

Brought to you by jconline.com 12 Celebrations jconline.com | Friday, January 20, 2012 Pucker up: Tips for the perfect wedding kiss By DEE-ANN DURBIN The Associated Press When Prince William gave his new bride, Kate, a brief kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace last spring, the crowd of thousands wasn't satisfied. "Kiss again!" they chanted. When the two shared a slightly longer kiss, onlookers erupted in cheers. Few other wedding kisses will ever be subjected to so much scrutiny. But there's a lesson here: People love the wedding kiss, and they have definite opinions about how a couple should seal the deal. Some want passion; some don't. Some like staged moments; others want to keep things natural. Everyone wants the kiss to be heartfelt. "There are extreme thoughts about the kiss," said Kristin Koch, a senior editor at the wedding website TheKnot.com. Here are some tips to make The Kiss cheer-worthy instead of should look like: classy and loving. "I would guess it will probably be about five seconds long," she said Practice. It sounds silly. After all, most couples have a lot of practice kissing. But you might want to put in a little practice time, especially if you're doing something you're not used to, like having the groom dip the bride. Hope Bourgeault, 21, a social work student at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, says she and her fiance, Jeff Betterman, are planning to do a dip at their wedding next August. They're already practicing so it won't look awkward. "wing it." "A rehearsed kiss looks rehearsed," she said. "It should be natural, intimate and romantic. And, while it's in front of hundreds of people, it should just feel like the two of you." Do something you're both comfortable with. Don't plan a dip or any other acrobatics if you're not sure you want to go through with it. Koch said grooms often feel more pressure than brides about the kiss, since tradition dictates that it's something the groom initiates. Prince William and the former Kate Middleton kiss April 29 on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. (FILE PHOTO/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS) cringe-worthy: Talk about it. You talk through everything else about the wedding, from the guest list to the bridesmaids' dresses. You and your partner should talk about what kind of kiss you want to share, or even whether you want to share one at all. Chelsea Kopperud, 26, and her fianc�, Jeffrey O'Donnell, have already agreed on what the kiss Don't be gross. Just about everyone agrees that extra-long, over-the-top displays of affection are a no-no. They can look forced and make guests squirm. "Have fun with it, be true to you, but a huge make-out or a tongue kiss is just not appropriate, especially if Grandma and Grandpa are watching," Koch said. Or don't practice. Some people insist that the kiss should be natural, and that you should do whatever you feel is right at that moment.

Road-sharing scheme for motorists, pedestrians urged
More News from Niña P. Calleja
Over 100 lawyers have threatened to sue government officials should they fail to implement within 30 days an environment-friendly road-sharing scheme that would favor the "carless people of the Philippines."
In a 13-page letter sent to government agencies, 126 lawyers from all over the country led by staunch environmental advocate Antonio Oposa Jr. demanded that the roads be equally shared—50-50 and lengthwise—by car owners and those who are without vehicles.
In the July 3 letter with the heading "Notice to Sue to Implement Road Sharing," which was signed by the group, which claimed to represent the country's carless citizens, it said that half of the roadways should be devoted to "organized, collective, clean and affordable transportation system."
Among those who signed the letter were Sigfrid Fortun, Rolly Vinluan and Linda and Karen Jimeno.
The group said they were taking up the cudgels for those exposed to vehicular accidents and air pollution, even car owners who would give up their vehicles if presented with a reliable public transportation option.
Copies of the letter were sent to officials of the Departments of Transportation and Communications, Public Works and Highways, Environment and Natural Resources, the Interior and Local Governments, the Climate Change Commission headed by the Office of the President and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.
In their letter, the group said that one-half of the roads should be devoted to motorized vehicles while the other half be set aside for wide and covered sidewalks, all-weather bike lanes and urban edible gardens.
According to the lawyers, their demand was based on the stark fact that while only two out of every 100 people in the country own vehicles, car owners are given almost all the road space.
The remaining 98 percent of Filipinos who do not own cars are not even given proper sidewalks, bicycle lanes or a good public transportation system, they added.
They cited an existing law that directed concerned government agencies to reform the road system based on a simple principle: "Those who have less in wheels must have more in roads," referring to Executive Order 774 issued in 2008 and Administrative Order 254 in 2009.
They pointed out that the failure of the government to implement the law and the resulting damage to the people was tantamount to "ecological homicide."
The Filipinos' right to clean air was being taken away without due process of law, they said as they took notice of public officials' partiality toward private vehicles in Metro Manila, Cebu and other urban centers in the country.
"In these areas, the roads are now choking with cars and air pollution," they added.
Backed by 28 renowned international lawyers, the group gave the government agencies 30 days to comply with provisions of the law and implement the principle of road sharing.
A team of top urban planners have volunteered to help in the implementation of the road-sharing principle, the lawyers said.

Perhaps I was a little harsh with my "blowing his brains out" comment yesterday as at the grave site we met a local whose father was one of the two people to discover Hemingway's dead body. Apparently he was in bad shape in his last few years with paranoid thoughts that he was being followed, phone calls bugged etc. by the FBI....these fears were ...

... up to our expectations. We were headed for the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. In national forests and national recreation areas you are generally allowed to set up camp just about anywhere that you want free of charge. Our first stop was to the Ranger Station to ask for a recommendation. Ranger Rick was a nice slow talking mountain man who went over ALL of our options with very detailed descriptions of the 673 different regions of the park ...
Ketchum and Sun Valley
We woke up in a most welcoming place after a good night's sleep. Bennett and Sophie made us coffee in Carol's espresso machine, starting the day off right. Even better, Carol and Sophie made a carrot ginger juice for Amy who was craving good vegetables. The four of us headed into the town of Ketchum, and David and the kids bought a day pass to the Y and played at the pool that had a 130' water slide, a vortex pool, and ...
Salt Lake
We woke up in Salt Lake City and found an amazing and overwhelming breakfast at The Pig and the Jelly Jar. Waffles for the kids, pork belly and kale creole benedict for Amy, and chicken and waffles for David. Then there was some hotel swimming, laundry, and much-needed showers. We explored Temple Square a little bit, but didn't need to stay long. Our best find in SLC was RubySnap, a cookie shop with about 15 different kinds of cookies to swoon ...

Mayorga to Mosley: Im glad youre throwing out the first pitch at the Dodgers game tonight. You should be a catcher for the way you take take right hands.
Mayorga to talkative Mosley cutman Captain Cassius Green, who always wears his trademark captains hat, after Green heckled Mayorga from the audience: Im glad this guy has his captains hat on because he and his man are going down like the Titanic on Saturday..
Mayorga after shaking Mosleys hand: Its cold and sweaty. I know Shanes afraid of me. All I ask of you [Mosley] is that you come and fight like a man. Dont run or else Im going to buy you roller blades and a pink outfit to go with the pink gloves I gave to you at the last press conference.
I already retired Fernando Vargas, an L.A. boxing icon, and I plan to retire another on Saturday night. Mosley needs to be at home doing the dishes for his wife.
Shane said, Mayorga tells a lot of jokes and stories, but he always comes up short. Yes, he won against Fernando Vargas in November, but he didnt knock him out. Remember that when you stand toe to toe with me [Mayorga]. I want you to take it like a man.
Everyone wants to retire me. Im not going anywhere. Im here to knock guys out.
Quotes from Mosley and Mayorga from final press conference at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday (Sept. 24) before Saturdays showdown at the Home Deport Center in Carson, Calif. (HBO World Championship Boxing at 7:30 p.m. PT/10:30 p.m. ET.

Mosley vs Mayorga, Berto vs Forbes on HBO This Saturday
Sparks will fly when HBO Sports spotlights world-class performers on WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING: SHANE MOSLEY VS. RICARDO MAYORGA AND ANDRE BERTO VS. STEVE FORBES, presented live SATURDAY, SEPT. 27 (10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT) from The Home Depot Center in Carson, Cal., exclusively on HBO. The WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING team will be ringside for the event, which will be presented in HDTV and in Spanish on HBO Latino.
Expect a September heat wave when former lightweight, welterweight and junior middleweight champion Sugar Shane Mosley (44-5, 37 KOs) stands toe-to-toe with Ricardo El Matador Mayorga (28-6-1, 22 KOs), one of boxings most animated fighters, in a 12-round junior middleweight bout. In his first fight in Southern California since 2000, Pomona, Cal., native Mosley returns to the ring in search of another title shot. A native of Managua, Nicaragua, Mayorga hasnt fought since handling Fernando Vargas last November. Hes never ducked a challenge, having tangled with Vernon Forrest, Felix Trinidad and Oscar De La Hoya.
In the opening bout, newly crowned welterweight titleholder Andre Berto (22-0, 19 KOs) defends his belt against crafty veteran Steve Forbes (33-6, 9 KOs) in a 12-round, 147-pound tilt. Florida native Berto captured his first title by defeating never-before KOd Miki Rodriguez in June, scoring his 19th knockout in just 22 fights. Las Vegas resident Forbes is a formidable contender who elevated his status significantly last May when he went the distance against Oscar De La Hoya.
All WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING events are broadcast in HDTV. HBO viewers must have access to the HBO HDTV channel to watch HBO programming in high definition.
The executive producer of WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is Rick Bernstein; producer, Dave Harmon; director, Marc Payton.

The energy industry will likely move beyond shale gas and into hydrate gas deposits on the shelf on the sea bottom, says a consultant
The shale gas revolution is not the "end game" for the global energy industry as new technologies will uncover new ways to extract resources, an industry consultant said.
"The so-called shale gas revolution is mostly preferable for the US… Perhaps the fuss surrounding shale gas will disturb the energy market, but it will not be the end game," said Alexander Moskalenko, president and CEO of GCE Group.
Deep sea drilling for hydrate gas has a good future
Rex Features
"It's more appropriate to say that shale gas is a modern popular topic, nothing more," Moskalenko said.
The shale gas revolution, which is now primarily centred in North America, has increased the usage of low-cost natural gas liquids (NGLs) feedstock from gas and oil exploration.
Petrochemical producers active in North America have lifted profitability on the back of cheap ethane and propane and significant capacity additions have been planned.
"Essentially, the shale gas industry [in the US] is creating a specific industry with its own sphere," Moskalenko said.
China's place in the shale gas revolution is unlikely to have a significant impact on the global energy landscape, he said.
"I don't see Chinese shale gas influencing the global energy market. Whether shale gas will cover the country's own needs is the real question," Moskalenko said.
Looking ahead, the energy industry will likely move beyond shale gas and into hydrate gas deposits on the shelf on the sea bottom, the chief of the energy efficiency consultancy firm said.
"From my point of view, it is much easier to extract hydrate gas, than shale gas. Moreover, many countries including Russia have well-developed deep-water technologies," he said.
Meanwhile, countries with depleting oil reserves will need to have different strategies to improve their respective positions in the global energy landscape, and this includes new field discoveries, even outside their country's borders, or advances in new types of energy development, he said.
Global energy consumption is growing by about 20% annually, and the energy industry should be focusing its efforts on all forms of energy, including beneficial "green" or ecologically-friendly technologies, solar energy, water, oil, as well as nuclear power to meet this demand, Moskalenko said.

Paris, France
My Rating
Driver showed up on time and spoke English. Would use Paris Shuttle again.
Paris, France
My Rating
The Paris Pass is thoughtfully put together. It would be better if it included the Eiffel Tower. Be aware if purchased through Viator, you must go to their office to pick up the pass. In our case we budgeted the time to go pick it up and it worked out. The directions for the office need to be updated. The Paris Pass office is located in the candy store behind the Rex Theater on the side street.
London, United Kingdom
My Rating
This pass would be much better if it included the London Eye and hop on/hop off bus like the Paris Pass. Be aware if you purchase from Viator, you have to go to their office to pick up the Pass. This cost us 2 hours of time and some frustration in locating the office. It's located in the basement of a circular building in the median of several streets. The directions could have been better. The pass is well worth the price!
London, United Kingdom
My Rating
Fun tour, it's about 10 hours or so in duration depending on traffic. They give you sufficient time to see Windsor, Stonehenge and the Roman Bath's but you need to mindful of the be back time. These tours are not designed for you to see everything, but if you walk at a comfortable stride you can cover most of the highlights.
The tour company offers numerous hotel pick ups, however they only drop off at two locations. Be prepared to take a taxi or the Tube to get back to your hotel.

Mystery tunnel in Baguio market baffles cops
BAGUIO CITY—The city government's public order and safety division uncovered on Thursday a tunnel big enough for a vehicle to run through inside the public market, and police feared it was dug up to gain access to nearby establishments, including banks.
In November 2012, the Baguio police inspected the city's American-era drainage system when it found evidence it was also being used by robbers.
But vendors and other businessmen operating near the tunnel said authorities were mistaken. Zita Gongon, president of a market association which holds office near the tunnel, said the cavern, which can run to a depth of 40 feet, had been there since 1992 but the city government never sealed it.
"We discovered it when we cleaned the surrounding area," Gongon said. Police, however, also found fresh bags of earth around the tunnel. Reports from Vincent Cabreza and EV Espiritu

Jim Chukalas, from Fredon Township, N.J., was laid off from his job as a parts manager at a Honda dealership two years ago and has exhausted his unemployment benefits. Charlottesville, Va., resident Leslie Macko benefits eligibility will only last for a few more weeks and the president said that she has turned to her father for financial support. Denise Gibson of Queens, N.Y., was laid off from her job at a real estate agency earlier this year and has yet to get hired.
"They desperately want to work. It's just, right now, they can't find a job," Obama said. "These are honest, decent, hardworking folks who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own and who have nowhere else to turn except unemployment benefits and who need emergency relief to help them weather this economic storm."
Obama called out Republicans for their legislative priorities during the Bush Administration.
"I have to say, after years of championing policies that turned a record surplus into a massive deficit, the same people who didn't have any problems spending hundreds of billions of dollars on tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans are now saying we shouldn't offer relief to middle-class Americans like Jim or Leslie or Denise who really need help," he said.
ABC News' Matthew Jaffe contributed to this report.

England v West Indies: Hosts frustrated at Edgbaston
Third Test, Edgbaston (day three, close): West Indies 280-8 v England
West Indies dug deep to reach 280-8 on day three of the rain-hit third Test at Edgbaston as a below-par England made hard work of the tourists' middle order.
Put in to bat by England on a pitch that had spent two days under cover because of persistent rain, the Windies survived the first of three dropped slip catches to reach 85-1 at lunch.
England hit back in the afternoon session to reduce the tourists to 152-5, with recalled pacemen Graham Onions (3-56) and Steve Finn both among the wickets.
But a typically-assured 76 from Marlon Samuels and a dogged unbeaten 60 from Denesh Ramdin ensured the Windies ended the day in the ascendancy, frustrating England's hopes of a series whitewash.
"The decision to rest both James Anderson and Stuart Broad not only affected the balance of the attack, it had an impact on other areas of the team as well. Ian Bell dropped two catches at third slip, a position in which I have never seen him field for England before, and a spot in which Anderson is usually extremely reliable."
England will no doubt rue the dropped catches, with Ian Bell's ugly fumble to reprieve Adrian Barath on four by far the most costly.
But the decision to rest James Anderson and Stuart Broad was also a factor as England's new-look attack lacked penetration with the new ball and struggled to generate the swing that makes Anderson in particular such a force.
The match finally got under way on the third morning after the first two days of a Test were washed out for the first time in England since 1964.
England captain Andrew Strauss won the toss and opted to bowl, no doubt hoping to expose the Windies' fragile batting order, which featured debutant Assad Fudadin at number three in place of Kirk Edwards and all-rounder Narsingh Deonarine for the injured Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
But the tourists' opening pair showed admirable resilience to weather the new ball in a dogged partnership of 49 in 17 overs.
England had to wait 80 minutes for their breakthrough, which arrived when Graeme Swann reacted sharply to catch an edge from Kieran Powell off Tim Bresnan.
After reaching lunch without further loss, the Windies came unstuck in the afternoon session as England's miserly bowlers starved them of scoring opportunities and picked up four wickets in relatively quick succession.
Barath, badly dropped again by Bell on 40 after fending off a lifter from Finn, failed to make England pay for their generosity as he was trapped in front by a quicker one from Onions in the next over.
"England let West Indies off the hook and they need a better performance tomorrow. If they had held their catches, the bowlers would have been up on confidence and England might have knocked a few more over and had them 60-4. If they had been at their best they could have bowled the Windies out for 200."
Darren Bravo's disappointing summer continued as he mustered only six runs before prodding the ball back to bowler Finn.
Then Fudadin (28) was surprised by a fierce bouncer from Bresnan and gloved the ball to Bell, who finally clung on to a simple catch to ironic cheers from his home crowd.
When Deonarine was caught by Strauss at first slip to give Onions his second wicket, England were right on top at 152-5.
Once again, however, the West Indies resistance was led by Samuels, who kept out a 91mph Finn yorker from his first ball before settling down for another of his composed and elegant innings.
He effortlessly dispatched anything over-pitched from the seamers through the covers and tore into the off-spin of Swann, whom he clouted for a six over cow corner and a four through the covers off successive balls to reach his fifty.
Samuels and Ramdin added 55 for the sixth wicket before Bresnan got a ball to nip back off the seam and trapped Samuels in front of off stump to swing the initiative back England's way.
Captain Darren Sammy was dropped by Strauss at first slip on 16, but fell without adding to his score in the following over when the England captain held on to another sharp chance.
Debutant spinner Sunil Narine was bowled by Onions for 11, before Ramdin completed his ninth Test fifty off 97 balls to help steer the tourists to the close.

Cruz is garbage!
Garbage? How is that?
Dude is good at hitting and not being hit, but I don't really care for his hit and run style, either. Would rather see two dudes fight as if they were in a phone booth, whether it be standing or on the ground. That being said, I can't agree with you saying the dude is garbage, because if that was the case, he woulda been beaten by now.

He is involved in murder of Jaleel Andrabi in 1996
The Jammu and Kashmir government has begun a fresh attempt at the extradition from the United States of a former Army Major, involved in the kidnap and murder of Jaleel Andrabi, a human rights lawyer, here in 1996.
Major Avtar Singh of the Territorial Army was arrested in California on the charge of domestic violence on Saturday and released later.
Official sources told The Hindu: "A team, headed by the In-charge Chief Prosecuting Officer, Srinagar, has left for New Delhi to discuss the issue with the Ministries of External Affairs and Home Affairs, and then with the U.S. Embassy."
Officials maintained that they had taken up the matter with the U.S. Embassy more than a year ago, yet there was no progress.
The Chief Judicial Magistrate had earlier issued warrants for Interpol and asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to get the warrants executed. But there was no clue to the whereabouts of Major Singh, who was reported to be hiding in Canada before shifting base to California a year ago.
"It was stated that he was not traceable," said an officer associated with the case. "Now that he has been located, it will become easy to move for extradition."
Set free
Major Singh was arrested by the Selma police in California on Saturday and let off from the Fresno County Jail. The sources maintained that after he was arrested, his wife told the police that he was wanted in a murder case in Kashmir. "Our officers will discuss the possibilities of extradition through the U.S. Embassy," the sources said.
"The local police discovered Singh was wanted by Interpol, but when they contacted the police agency and the U.S. State Department, they were told it wasn't necessary to hold Singh," said a news portal in California.
"Encouraging development"
Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chairman Yasin Malik said the development was encouraging. "Now that the wife of the accused Major Avtar Singh has spilled the beans and it is known to all where he is hiding, it becomes the responsibility of the State and the judiciary to bring him to justice…"
Brother hopeful
Jaleel Andrabi's brother Arshad Andrabi said: "I came to know about the latest developments through newspaper reports that Major Avtar Singh is in California. Though his extradition has so far been deliberately delayed, I hope that this time round he is extradited, if the newspaper reports are true." On November 19, 2009, the family members of Jaleel Andrabi submitted an application to the Chief Judicial Magistrate for re-investigation of the case, claiming that Major Singh was not the only accused.
Plea to quiz relatives
At a March 15, 2010 hearing, Arshad Andrabi told the court: "The court should get to know how the accused has been allowed to leave the country on a valid passport and who facilitated his travel."
He also wanted Major Singh's relatives questioned to find out his whereabouts. The prosecution, he said, was making a mockery of the court by not pursuing the matter seriously.
Earlier, the Inspector-General of Police (Crime), in its report to the court, said: "In compliance with the orders, the requisite documents were obtained from the agencies concerned, and the same have been forwarded to the Assistant Director of the National Control Bureau, New Delhi, for submission to the authorities of Interpol in India."

Brother for Lilly.
SO and I are going to begin TTC soon and we have settled on a girl's name, Lilly Tatiana Bree Riden. We are having a bit of trouble agreeing on a boy's name, however. We know his middle names, but his first is a total mystery. Care to offer suggestions?
Lilly is the only girl's name we couple agree on. It was his suggestion, but I gave in because I feel that it is sweet, has Southern charm {think Lilly Pulitzer}, and is perfectly respectable. Tatiana and Bree are both after important people in my life.
The boy's name will be ______ Richard Jeremiah Riden. Richard and Jeremiah are both after important people in his life. I would prefer a shorter name as the middle names are both strong and heavy.

RNC Says Wisconsinites Were Fooled
Governor Scott Walker's recall win this year shows that the republican numbers are there for the state to cast their votes towards the Romney/Ryan ticket in November. That's according to Matt Rhodes with the Romney campaign. Rhodes also said over a million people were fooled 4 years ago.
Rhodes also says with the number of people who came out to vote for Walker in the dead of summer with election fatigue...it once again shows how strong the support is for the republican party in the state.

Survey: WI Restaurants And Homes Happy To Have Cleaner Air
Many bars and restaurants fought against smoke-free dining laws for Wisconsin...
But a new statewide survey shows that people working at those businesses feel healthier now because of the two-year-old tobacco ban. La Crosse County health educator Judi Zabel says restaurant and bar staffers have said they're happy not to go home with smoky-smelling clothes. The survey also shows that only one-third of Wisconsin residents are now exposed to smoke outside the home. The percentage was over 50 per cent when the law took effect.
Open Burning Is Banned For Holiday Weekend In Onalaska
No open burning in Onalaska, for now...
The Onalaska Fire Department has issued a ban on open fires in the city and parts of surrounding towns, until further notice. One measure of the fire danger in Onalaska is at its highest level. All of La Crosse County is within a 'very high' danger zone for fires, according to the Wisconsin DNR, while almost all of the state that's south of La Crosse County is at a 'high' risk level.
Chief Selection Made. Announcement Soon
A new police chief has been picked for La Crosse. Not sure who it is yet. The La Crosse police and fire commission met this morning to select a new chief for the city. Commission member Doug Happel says, although the commission voted unanimously on one of the three candidates for the job, that pick cannot be revealed until all three have been notified and an offer accepted. Happel says that process could take a couple of days. But could be complete as soon as the end of the day today. In the running for the job: Current interim police chief Rob Abraham, Onalaska chief, Jeffrey Trotnic and Waukesha police captain, Ronald Tischer.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

When I am hitting looser, I do notice easier access to spin and power. Maybe I should Botox my arm
Regarding the open stance--how far forward should the left foot be? Couple of feet? In my attempt to keep it open, I think I end up with feet parallel to the baseline. I suppose the left foot should be a bit forward.
Thanks for all the advice guys! I do feel it becoming more reliable, and do appreciate the help
Looking much better. You are using much more angular (rotational) momentum now. How does it feel? You still need a consistent wider, lower stance with weight on your right leg when you set up to hit. Your finish is still a bit old school. You should have more of a WW finish that comes across after contact and down to your left hip. I suspect you still grip the racquet too tight at contact.
To answer your question, your feet can be anywhere from parallel to the baseline to about 45 degrees from the baseline. More than that begins to hinder your rotation. The exception is when you are running laterally to the right. Then you may find it easier to hit with your left foot leading laterally to the right at contact, and then your momentum causes you to step across and stop and plant with your right foot to recover back to your position on the court.

Our son and daughter use Dolfin AquaTech Goggle for daily club swimming and long distance swim (1.5 mile). Although they use speedo vanquisher for swim races, they prefer this google for daily practice because it's more comfortable (around the eyes) and cheaper than the speedo vanquisher googles. We had introduced this to our friends, both kids and adults like them.

Goggles did not fit and were not water tight. They hurt my nose. I gave them away since I had already discarded the shipping invoice before I used them.There were no sizes listed in the product description. I compared them to another brand that I own and that was listed as"large". Obviously I need a pair in a large size. Did not get that here with these goggles. Beware.

Because there's no side view it's makes the viewing area very narrow. My kids said it feels ok, but the view is not good.
They make me feel "faster"

They feel great, they are comfortable! AND they make me feel (and look!) like olympian status! I love it!

The interchangeable nosepiece works great. My eyes are slightly close set so the medium nosepiece is perfect for me. The goggles stick to my face well & keep out water without too much tension

Overall very happy with quality of these goggles; easy to fit and keeps the water out and provides great vision.
Terrible - I cannot beleive Dolfin would actually carry this

I purchased this pair of goggles for my relative to use at an Invitational Swim meet. The rubber around the eye fell apart the second timeit was wornI am glad that we had a second pair of a dffferent brand or Water Gear so my relative would not be out of luck at the swimming invitational!The Water Gear goggle is still functional a few weeks later
