By Hannah Levin
For fans and creators of subversive, intelligent art, it's almost impossible not to romanticize Berlin. Whether it is its contemporary status as a major hub of talent for DJs and avant garde electronica artists, or its legendary history as the geographical local that nurtured the collaborative efforts of David Bowie and Iggy Pop in the late '70s, the idea of an artist retreating there to create their magnum opus is undeniably seductive. For the four women who make up the edgy and experimental English rock outfit Electrelane, it was actually the architecture of Germany's storied capitol city that informed the structure of their enchanting fourth record, No Shouts, No Calls.
"The initial decision to take time off to write in Berlin was quite practical, actually [keyboardist and vocalist Verity Susman was living there at the time], but we didn't realize until we got there what an influence it would be," says bassist Ros Murray via cell phone as the band leaves New York City for their gig in Boston. "It was the first time we've gone away from England to write a record. We were having a really nice time and it was summer... sort of a joyful experience. In Berlin you are always surrounded by so much space, the streets are really wide, and where our studio was it was out in the east, opposite Treptower Park. There wasn't anything else around and it was an older building, right by the river, so we were always surrounded by a lot of space and big empty buildings. I think there's a sense of that space on the record, and definitely I think you can hear that it's our most positive album…that we were all enjoying ourselves in the process."
Electrelane was born in 1998, out of the teenage friendship between Susman and drummer Emma Gaze. The pair bonded over a mutual appreciation of progressive Krautrock artists like Can and with the help of guitarist Mia Clarke, began building a wholly unique sound that smartly fused thoughtful, classical musicianship with improv-driven experimentation. Their affection for vintage organ sounds, and open-ended, almost entirely instrumental jams darkly colored their impressive, acid-tinged debut, 2001's Rock It To The Moon. Things became a bit more concise and almost upbeat with their Steve Albini-produced 2004 sophomore release, The Power Is Out, and a few tours of duty on the European festival circuit began building their fanbase and cache of critical accolades. 2005's Axes (also produced by Albini) landed somewhere between those first two efforts, building sinister and intricate walls of guitar, buttressing them with bright ribbons of keys and weaving in more of Susman's delicate, silvery vocals.
After finishing their pre-production woodshedding sessions in Berlin, the band decided to try a new approach and checked into the Key Club Recording Studio, just outside Chicago. The small, intimate space run by husband and wife team Jessica Ruffins and Bill Skibbe has birthed some very notable underground successes, including records by the Kills, Six Organs of Admittance, and Fiery Furnaces. "It's a really nice atmosphere there," explains Murray. "It's smaller than Steve [Albini]'s place and the whole thing just felt more intimate." The resulting record is indeed more inviting than intimidating, with Susman's Stereolab-evoking voice pulling the listener into a delicate, deliberately layered web of hypnotic guitar lines and celestial-sounding keyboards. There's also the intriguing achievement of managing to veer seamlessly between wistful, somber requiems (such as break-up lullaby "Saturday") and romantically optimistic pop moments (most stunningly on the album's logical single, "To the East").
While not a dramatic departure, it's still a remarkably sunnier disposition that's on display for a band that originally sounded much like a brainy riot grrl's post-punk acid test. "It wasn't really deliberate, but the whole thing was a really positive experience," says Murray, acknowledging their tendency to brighten the corners this time out. "Actually we didn't know at all what we were going to do before we got together in Berlin and started playing. I guess in some ways it was a reaction against Axes, just because we'd toured it so much, but also it just came out naturally that way."

There were several moments during the evening performance of Spring Is in the Air – presented April 12 at the Adler Theatre – in which I sat slack-jawed in awe of the choreography executed by Ballet Quad Cities.

There were two particular elements that made Ballet Quad Cities' Cinderella (which ran for two Adler Theatre performances on April 20) especially watchable beyond Courtney Lyon's exquisite choreography: clear storytelling, and humor. Not at one moment during Saturday evening's performance did I find it hard to figure out which part of the fairytale was being depicted in dance, even down to the details of what specific characters were doing and feeling at all times.

6 Ways to Keep Teens Safe on Social Media
It is inevitable that your child will dive into the world of social media at some point or another. Today, more than 60 percent of American teens have at least one social media account. Being online is a great way to keep in touch with friends and stay up to date on current events. It is important, however, that you are aware that there are people out there who can take advantage of your child by using their information to bully them, steal their identity, or begin an inappropriate relationship.
As a parent, you can help protect your teen from these online dangers by following these six safety tips:
1. Keep your personal information personal. Ask them to keep their profile private so that only family and people you know see photos, posts, important dates, and other information.
2. Don't talk to strangers. Encourage them to follow the ancient "don't talk to strangers" rule that we all learned as toddlers. Never allow them to accept friend requests from people they don't know.
3. Don't post anything you wouldn't want your grandma to see. Encourage them to use their judgment when taking photos and videos. Only allow them to publish photos and videos that don't jeopardize their safety or their integrity.
4. Protect privacy. Make sure they're not posting personal and details. This includes phone numbers, home address, Social Security number, the name of their school, and more.
5. Don't share your password. Make sure they choose a strong password that can't be guessed, and that they change it every three months. Make sure that they are the only ones that can access their account to ensure that they have full control over what's being posted.
6. Have a conversation. Ask them to let you know if they've received messages from a stranger, or from someone at school who is teasing, harassing, or threatening them. Those could be signs of cyber-bullying or even a sexual predator, and it's important for you to remain in the know.

woow so nice, can i use it for a drawing please? *o*
Another awesome shot!
this is so perfect
beautiful scoob
Hello, I was wondering if you would allow me to use this photograph as a reference for a pencil drawing? There will be no actual editing done of this deviation and referencing credit will be given to your photo.
Thank you! (:
Thank you! (:
yes, if you credit me as the original artist with a link. and please send me the finished thing!
amazing! i love how you have taken the photo and added your imagination to it. some people draw my shots accurately to the smallest (and certain times useless) details, but it seems like you have said okay, there's fur here and there, let's make it stylish, let's make it look good, who cares about the kinda messed up real fur and i love it! the colors are a little greenish to me, but i have no idea what kind of choices you had. interesting decision leaving out the collar, and not the tick collar.
anyway, thank you!
anyway, thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to comment on this. I appreciate it. I think the greenish hue is probably a combination of my poor photographing of my picture and that the yellow colored pencil comes across as green when used on black paper. Not sure why that is but I did not use it as a base because of this. Only applying it after. Just using cream color once the base was laid in. I used light and dark purples as my base color. This was my first try at using the black paper so I really want to do more and improve my skills on the black paper. Scoob is a stunningly handsome dog and he was a great subject. Thanks once again. If you like you can see the steps that I did while working on this on the Wetcanvas forum. [link]
He's a very handsome dog
Amazing shot.
Great shot. I love it!!! All your dog photographs are amazing.
thank you! ^^
You are very welcome. A while back I requested permmisson to paint one of your dogs on black paper...... It was a lab but after seeing this one I would love to do it instead...... I have the black paper now so if it is okay with you, I will start on it!! Thanking you in advance and of course I would send you the link and give you credit for the ref.
Wonderful !
So beautiful
he's so beutiful! Amazing!
Beautiful photo, beautiful dog! He looks so smart and attentive. I really think the photo looks very professional.
Nice! Mind if I ask what you did for light/exposure? I never seem to get that kind of saturation out of images no matter what I do!
Thank you! It's a simple two light setup, one soft light (a shoot-thru umbrella) at camera left/above and a hard light on the other side in the back acting as a rimlight. But saturation only depends on the postprocessing
Very nice headshot. Great lookin dog.
This is excellent!
I'm loving the pic!

SAC Case Almost Quenches My Lust For Wall Street Blood
(GS - Get Report) and Morgan Stanley (MS - Get Report) continue to trade with SAC, according to The New York Times, that may not remain the case for very long. And it will cease to matter if SAC is shut down. Some will no doubt be unsatisfied that the case against Cohen doesn't address the central issues of the 2008 financial crisis. In a broad sense, however, the crisis was about the best connected, most powerful people on Wall Street making a mockery of our legal system to enrich themselves.That is what Cohen has done. What Cohen did not manage to do, as Wall Street chiefs like Goldman's Lloyd Blankfein, JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report) boss Jamie Dimon and former Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld successfully did, was to change our laws to make sure the bulk of their shady activity remained legal. But they are all guilty of the same essential crime: a lust for money and power so enormous that it can only be fed by eroding our civilization. The criminal case against SAC Capital isn't everything we'd like it to be, but it is a decided push in the other direction. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York. Follow @dan_freedWhile Goldman Sachs

Digital Jiminy Crickets
Do apps that promote ethical behavior diminish our ability to make just decisions?
Michael Schrage, research fellow at MIT Sloan School's Center for Digital Business, gives us a glimpse into what the next generation of apps might do. While discussing potential developments in "promptware" platforms that cue ideal behavior (for instance, sense that we're exhausted and recommend we should pause before making an important call), he notes that an app in the works will enable users to determine whether they speak too much in critical situations (like business meetings) and make real-time corrections to improve their performance. He speculates large-scale adoption might do more than change personal behavior. It could transform ethical norms—the very fabric of what members of a society expect from one another.
Currently, individuals are responsible for developing the skills necessary to communicate appropriately and self-correct when they stray from socially acceptable behavior. Promptware could invert this paradigm. When it becomes widely available, we could get criticized as irresponsible for not deferring to it: "It may be considered rude—and/or remarkably unprofessional—not to have your devices make sure you're behaving yourself," Schrage wrote in a Harvard Business Review blog post last November.
Presently, we use our own moral judgment—and carefully selected advisers—to determine whom to consider trustworthy. However, companies are already hard at work automating that judgment based on access to limited data. After Whit.li scans a user's social media (like Facebook), it creates a psycho-social profile. According to the promotional material, that profile can be used to create trustworthy consumer-to-consumer interactions, like choosing whom to travel or live with. As our data trail continues to expand through increased social networking, more potent programs will be created. Perhaps they'll enable massive multi-user rankings and produce a widely used profiling technology that has the feel of Rate My Professor meets Yelp. If you know your behavior is always subject to judgment, possibly even an instantaneous trust score, your social behavior could change profoundly.
As ethics apps continue to advance, so too will related technological enhancements. Twelve years ago, French theorist Bruno Latour wrote "Where Are the Missing Masses?" and essentially argued that cars embody morality when they are programmed not to start (or to beep incessantly) until the driver's seatbelt is fastened. In the automobile industry, that example now seems archaic. Ford offers "Speed Limiter," a feature that prevents drivers from exceeding a set speed, and is considering developing a car that "could help diabetic drivers by employing wireless sensors to monitor their glucose levels." Nissan is experimenting with prototypes designed to detect when drivers are drunk, including one that "attempts to directly detect alcohol in the driver's sweat." Toyota is developing mood-reading technology that detects "if the driver is sad, happy, angry or neutral, before assessing how distracted they are likely to be as a result."
While we may turn to disparate tools for guidance, they won't soon coalesce into a single digital Jiminy Cricket app. At the moment, artificial intelligence is good at some things, but lousy at others. Mathematical models, statistical analysis methods, and reliable rules for acquiring and processing data are great for determining when to buy a plane ticket, send out a tweet, and drink coffee. But ethical dilemmas are special because they fundamentally concern what Aristotle called phronesis—well-informed, contextual judgment. Every parent has faced the immense challenge of teaching a child when it is OK to lie. White lies (which distort the truth to be polite) do battle with broken promises (which are justifiable in some cases). Fabrications (like rumors, which may or may not be true) collide with deceptive comments (which mislead by withholding facts), bluffs (miscues about what someone will do), and emergency lies (which can involve temporary deception to prevent harm).
To make the right judgment, you need to understand relevance and meaning, not match statistical frequencies. But as philosophers Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Kelly argue, computers currently lack this ability. That's why IBM's Watson wiped the floor with its Jeopardy! competitors but selected Toronto when faced with the following clue under the category "U.S. Cities": "Its largest airport is named for a World War II hero; its second largest for a World War II battle."
Why, then, should we bother speculating about digital Jiminy Crickets? It's an updated version of the age-old question of whether we lose something fundamental by allowing technology to do more for us. Understanding where diminution begins can help us determine how far behavior-modifying technology should go.
Critics have argued that calculators keep kids from developing math skills and complain that Google has shifted recall from focus on facts to sites where information is stored. Most of us are content with these changes. Outsourcing morality, however, is quite another matter. More of our fundamental humanity hangs in the balance.

I haven't been able to understand why RBY's share price either languishes or drops when investor interest picks up. It's driven me crazy for years -- ever since McEwen dumped his 46M shares. Small investors/traders get discouraged after consistently losing money on this stock and one only has to look at the numbers to conclude short interest isn't the reason the share price has been so consistently dismal. As for McEwen's 46M shares, god only knows who the buyers of those shares were and how they might still be being used to manipulate today's share price. But that's a story for another day. For today, I've come to the conclusion the same people who are selling RBY's shares so cheaply are the same folks who are buying 'em. It's why there are always so many cheap shares flooding the ask price. If you are the biggest player in the float and actively buy and sell shares, you can easily manipulate the price, which I believe is why the share price is so stagnant. This same activity will continue until the owners of these shares reach the end game, which will be a lowball bid for the company. I also believe Rubicon's management could be aware of -- and possibly in on -- the manipulation of our share price. Not saying they are, but not saying they aren't. This appears to have been a very effective multi-year scam to separate small investors and traders from their shares. Still, I'm long and hoping justice will be served at some point, hopefully in the near future. Unfortunately for many of the hopeful but unfaithful, many smart investors won't get to share in the eventual reward. JMO and no proof to offer.

Handling critical security vulnerabilities: Three incidents
Going Critical
We look at what makes a security issue critical and how upstream developers and vendors respond by examining three incidents: CVE-2013-0156, CVE-2013-0333, and rubygems.org. incident response handling.
January 2013 was a bit of a rough month for users of Ruby on Rails and rubygems. org. Two critical security flaws were found in Ruby on Rails, and rubygems. org was broken into (luckily, not by a malicious hacker). In this article, I will look at exactly what caused these security vulnerabilities and the break-in to earn "critical" ratings, what the vendors did when a critical issue came up, and what users can do to help keep their software secure.
Critical Issues
One of the most important criteria in judging whether a security issue is critical or not is the severity of exploitation (see the "CVSS2 Scores" box). An attack that allows remote code execution as a privileged user or root is a whole lot worse than a simple denial of service condition. On the other hand, a denial of service that can be triggered remotely with a single network packet and make it through the Internet (e.g., not just on the same local subnet) might also be rated "critical."

Last week, singer/songwriter John Mayer made some controversial statements in his now-infamous Playboy interview, dishing personal details about his past relationships and using the N-word. The public's reaction was immediate, with some decrying his comments and others saying John was just being John.
Mayer has since apologized, via Twitter and onstage , but many of you have continued to sound off about the interview. So we grabbed a few of our favorites, lightly edited for grammar and content, and please note that the opinions expressed therein are those of the commenters, not MTV News. But don't think the debate has to end here. If you want to have your voice heard, sound off in the comments below, because the discussion isn't over.
And now, we turn the floor over to you:
"Goodness, so much hate out there on the Internet. John Mayer is not racist in my opinion. He's trying to handle his own public relations, and he stumbled a little bit. He made his apology, that's all he can do. Does the public want blood too? What about forgiveness?" — Barkthedog
"What a disappointment. I really liked his music, even though his last album was a letdown and rather weak compared to his earlier work. Unfortunately, I am not surprised that the fellow said something really ignorant. Having spent a great deal of time in the entertainment/music industry, I learned long ago that talent and brains were rarely found in the same person. John just exposed himself as another dumb singer/ songwriter/ guitar player. Disappointing, but not surprising. Time to sell some CDs." — zeppyled
"Mayer had me in the interview. It was V-E-R-Y. Then, when the 'hood pass comment came into play, I kinda shrugged. Maybe his peers are that accepting, playful and act that way with him. As I read on, 'Oh hell no' crossed my mind, and through to the end, I had to ask the question 'How could you?' Come on, John Mayer. As adults, our sexual perversions are our own. I don't fault John Mayer for flaunting those as a highlight of his life. I don't even care that this man doesn't date Meagan Good. I just hate that so many can excuse this John Mayer interview with a simple word: honest." — Vivian
"I don't believe John Mayer is racist. I understood his intent with those comments. However, he — as he admitted in his bid to save himself from his mouth — tries too hard to be clever, provocative and witty. Usually the people and topics he talks about are too insignificant for anybody to care, but this time people cared and now the foot that usually is in his mouth choked him." — Micdis
"Wow, as a black woman who 'was' a fan, I am completely shocked that you would be so heartless to mention white supremacy in referring to your lack of attraction to black women. If you indeed had a ' 'hood pass,' trust me, it has been revoked." — Nikki2006
"Geez, quite a few of you are simply morons. Bottom line: He is a human being, imperfect and allowed to be complex and say things that may or may not piss you off. He is also allowed to change his mind on day two if he wants or go in any new direction he wants: philosophically, spiritually, as well as musically. WE ALL DO. Personally, I find him refreshing. I am sooo sick of all these celebs who kiss the public's ass and are terrified to say something that may upset a toad living under a rock in deep Madagascar." — aspenAEROplane
"First and foremost, Mayer is no gentleman. A gentleman does not kiss and tell. You would think that the 'girls' that he's been with would see the red flags waving all over the place when they first meet him. (I wonder what Sinatra would say to Mayer if Frank was alive today, probably something like, 'Kid, be happy you're in the game and get the dames. Now shut your mouth up or I shut it for you!") This being said, it's obvious that Mayer has an inferiority complex. He wants, craves and thrives off of attention. The fact that he wired himself into the Internet so we know every time he takes a piss is silly, sad and illustrative of the fact that this man/boy has issues with himself in this world. What Mayer does not realize is that while he has what seems to be people (fans) hanging on his every word/tweet/whatever, 99 percent of them don't care. He makes himself look ridiculous even in the eyes of his youngest admirers. Mayer just doesn't realize this because he is insulated from the everyday routines of normal, productive people. (Excuse me, but living on the high end, writing songs and not caring about bills, work and all that is not a normal life.) I think that Mayer is self important." — PaulfromProvidence
"I loved his music, and he can date who he wants, but comparing his penis to David Duke is hard to get over. However, I think he meant what he said, and if that is the case (and it is), why apologize? He should man up and let the world know these are my true feelings and tell everyone to respect them instead of crying onstage." — Manuel
"I swear, two things people in America love to do is, 1) Call racist, and 2) Get offended when someone (a stranger) calls them the N-word when they don't mind that their friends call them it. In short, if you don't like the N-word, then don't EVER freaking use it. I don't use it and I don't like it. Plus, I don't consider myself the N-word, because I'm not ignorant. So him saying the word does not offend me." — Cleo
What do you think of the debate over John Mayer's Playboy interview? Are you surprised people are still talking about his comments? Let us know below!

Wedding Favours - Where Did It Start?

Wedding Favours - Where Did It Start?
In each wedding, the bride and groom would show their appreciation to their visitors by handing out wedding favours. The tradition of giving wedding favours dates back to the European aristocrats of France, in which it was utilized as presents which were normally handed out to the visitors ahead of the wedding event. These were often known as 'bonbonniere', which means symbolic of good luck. The good luck was meant for all the guest who came to the wedding. The usual items that were given were sugar cubes and delicate sweets.
Since sugar is known as an expensive item, giving them would symbolize their stand in society. That is why only a minimal people can give Bonbonnieres. However, as the price of sugar lessened as time passes, the tradition of providing presents to wedding visitors slowly became popular with the populace generally. As time passed by, almonds coated with sugar or Confetti (sugared almonds today) has slowly been replaced bonbonnieres. These sugared almonds comes in groups of five when handing them off to the guests these days. These means long life, happiness, fertility, wealth and health. These would also represent the bitter sweetness of a matrimony.
Today, any visitors that show up at the wedding will sure to bring home special souvenir from the bride and groom in the form of wedding favours; this is done to give thanks to them for their time invested in attending the ceremony. This is a practice which is shared in cultures across the world. These wedding favours would vary from traditional sugared almonds to scented soaps, candles, wine glasses or personalized champagne; whichever would match the concept of the wedding best. A great idea for these items would be customized glasses.
With all the wedding favour ideas available, one might have a difficult time in selecting the appropriate souvenir. For individuals who wish to stick to the traditional wedding practices, little boxes filled with sugared almonds must be considered. Lovers can also select customized wedding favours. In fact more lovers are picking wedding favours. With customized wedding favours, the couple can complement it with the concept of their wedding and invitations, and they could even place a short message on the souvenir.
You can also make your wedding favours. You can anticipate that all of the efforts you exerted will be valued by the visitors. There are lots of artistic concepts to pick from, just like creating your own pretty small boxes for containing sweets, or even decorating your own champagne flutes. For individuals who do not have the time nor the creativity to make the favours, then choosing to have them expertly made is the next best choice.

"Bletchley Park & the Forties Family Festival" Bletchley Things to Do Tip by milliturtle
Bletchley Things to Do: 5 reviews and 21 photos
Bletchley Park, referred to as Station X during World War II, was the center of codebreaking activities during the war. The military intelligence coming out of the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley was designated as Ultra secret and was instrumental in shortening the war. In fact, this place and its work was kept classified until the 70's. After the war, Bletchley Park was used as a training facility by the GC&CS (which later became the GCHQ, I think) until the mid-1980's. Unfortunately, after they moved out, the estate fell into disrepair and was almost torn down. It was only saved from demolition by a group of volunteers through obtaining Tree Preservation Orders of the park's trees!
A typical day visit to Bletchley Park will probably include a 1 to 1.5 hour tour around the estate led by dedicated volunteers. You will get a history of the origin of the estate as well as its evolution to becoming a big part of history. You will see the rock where Sir Winston Churchill made the speech about the goose who lay the golden eggs (i.e. the GC&CS). You will also hear stories of brilliant minds like Alan Turing that came through here. You also get to see the original "huts" used. And the coolest (to me anyway) is to see the rebuild of the colossus (in the Museum of Computing) and bombe rebuild (the original was destroyed) that were used to decode the enigma messages. After the tour, you can go on to see the Winston Churchill collection [some of the memorabilia was quite fascinating :)] and the Block B exhibition center to see the many forms of the enigma machine and learn more about the use of codes and ciphers during war. Oh, and there was an exhibit about Ian Fleming and spies when I went, although I think this may be a temporary exhibit. It will take the whole day, if not multiple visits, if you really want to go through the displays in detail. Luckily the somewhat expensive ticket (12 GBP) is good for a whole year.
Now, if you happen to be in the area around the end of May, Bletchley Park hosts an annual 2-day Forties Family Festival which takes you back in time. I had the good fortune to visit on the 2nd day of the festival on May 30, 2011. The park was filled with re-enactors and spectators dressed in 40's clothing. They also bring out the fantastically preserved antique vehicles and other war time items. They also ran a wartime radio station and invited men and women who served at Bletchley to tell their story. It is a very surreal experience - I even took a pickture with Sir Winston Churchill (impersonator)! Actually, he came in and gave us an "encouraging" speech before our tour. I missed day 1, but according to the brochure I got, they have an air show with the old planes. I only saw some of the planes parked in the parking lot outside the museum of computing. I think I spent about 5-6 hours there and was just able to "see" everything before I have to make it back to London.
It is definitely worth a visit if you are interested in World War II history, codebreaking, or even the history of computing and do not mind taking the 40 minute train out of London. It also complements a visit to the Churchill War Rooms very well. And while you are there, remember to send yourself or a friend an "ultra secret" post package from the Bletchley Park post office.
Address: Bletchley
Directions: Take the London Midland train towards Milton Keys. Get off at Bletchley and just follow the signs. It is about 5 minutes away from the train station.

The Wedding Industry's Pricey Little Secret
That widely used "average wedding cost" figure is grossly misleading. Here's a much more accurate number.
But an even bigger problem with the average wedding cost is right there in the phrase itself: the word "average." You calculate an average, also known as a mean, by adding up all the figures in your sample and dividing by the number of respondents. So if you have 99 couples who spend $10,000 apiece, and just one ultra-wealthy couple splashes $1 million on a lavish Big Sur affair, your average wedding cost is almost $20,000—even though virtually everyone spent far less than that. What you want, if you're trying to get an idea of what the typical couple spends, is not the average but the median. That's the amount spent by the couple that's right smack in the middle of all couples in terms of its spending. In the example above, the median is $10,000—a much better yardstick for any normal couple trying to figure out what they might need to spend.
Apologies to those for whom this is basic knowledge, but the distinction apparently eludes not only the media but some of the people responsible for the surveys. I asked Rebecca Dolgin, editor in chief of TheKnot.com, via email why the Real Weddings Study publishes the average cost but never the median. She began by making a valid point, which is that the study is not intended to give couples a barometer for how much they should spend but rather to give the industry a sense of how much couples are spending. More on that in a moment. But then she added, "If the average cost in a given area is, let's say, $35,000, that's just it—an average. Half of couples spend less than the average and half spend more." No, no, no. Half of couples spend less than the median and half spend more.
When I pressed TheKnot.com on why they don't just publish both figures, they told me they didn't want to confuse people. To their credit, they did disclose the figure to me when I asked, but this number gets very little attention. Are you ready? In 2012, when the average wedding cost was $27,427, the median was $18,086. In 2011, when the average was $27,021, the median was $16,886. In Manhattan, where the widely reported average is $76,687, the median is $55,104. And in Alaska, where the average is $15,504, the median is a mere $8,440. In all cases, the proportion of couples who spent the "average" or more was actually a minority. And remember, we're still talking only about the subset of couples who sign up for wedding websites and respond to their online surveys. The actual median is probably even lower.
Back to Dolgin's point. If TheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com are publishing their figures solely for the benefit of those in the industry, then using only the average makes sense. If you're in the wedding business, one big-spending couple can make more of an impact on your bottom line than 10 typical couples. Dolgin assured me that's the survey's real purpose. "We would never want a bride to use the average as a way to decide how much to spend on her wedding," she said. "Couples calculate their budget based on a variety of factors and those factors are the only things that should be considered—not what other couples did or spent."
She's right that couples shouldn't base their budgets on what others spend. But wedding planning is often a one-shot deal, so a lot of couples aren't going to have much context about how much they should expect to pay. And I can tell you from experience that people in the wedding business don't just use the average numbers as a sign of the industry's health. They use it as justification for their exorbitant prices and as a bludgeon with which to beat would-be frugal couples into submission. Complain about a reception venue's $250 "cake-cutting fee," or its $10,000 food and drink minimum, and you'll be curtly informed that it's standard in the industry. Photographers who charge $2,000 for an evening's worth of snapshots point out that TheKnot's reported average is $2,379, so you're actually saving $379. If you're not careful, you start to believe them. Just look at the New York Post writer who boasted ecstatically of how she had "saved" $30,000 on her wedding by spending "only" $15,000. I hate to be a spoilsport, but she didn't "save" anything. She spent the equivalent of a down payment on a Lexus for one day's worth of partying.
I don't blame TheKnot.com or Brides for publishing these figures. But the media is doing a disservice by parroting them without a hint of context or skepticism. At times the results border on the absurd. Witness the Huffington Post article that breathlessly reports, "Average Wedding Cost Exceeds Median Income in U.S.," without ever pausing to ask how that could possibly be the case.
There are a lot of sites and publications, TheKnot.com included, that offer excellent tips for saving money on your wedding. And once you realize that the typical American wedding costs closer to $15,000 than $30,000, it becomes that much easier to say "no" to things you don't need and embrace the expenses that are important to you. My fiancée and I realized this a little late in the game, and ended up spending more than we would have liked. But we're still paying less than half of the reported average for our chosen location, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the wedding will be beautiful.
There's nothing wrong with spending 28 G's in 24 hours if you've got the means. Just don't fool yourself into thinking that there's anything average about it.

Navistar's Mississippi Plant to Stop Production - Analyst Blog
Navistar International Corporation
) announced that its Navistar Defense business will be suspending
production at its West Point, Miss., plant. The sequester led to
this decision and Jul 5 will be the last day of production in the
plant that employs 80 workers.
The West Point plant was opened five years ago and used to assemble MRAP - mine resistant vehicles, which was used by soldiers to protect them against roadside explosives in Iraq and Afghanistan. The plant also produced other related vehicles like armored tow trucks and ambulances for the military.
Navistar had to take the decision to suspend production in the plant owing to the reduction in the federal budget, which was effective from Mar 1, 2013. In addition, a challenging environment in the defense industry also put pressure on the company.
The plant witnessed high production level in the first three years but demand started dipping thereafter. According to management, Navistar needs to adapt the changes in the defense environment and thus it had to suspend production at West Point.
Navistar's second quarter (ended Apr 30, 2013) loss widened to $353 million or $4.39 per share compared with $137 million or $1.99 per share (excluding special items) in the year-ago quarter. Reported loss was also significantly wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $1.09 per share.
Lower sales volumes and higher pre-existing warranty adjustments related to EPA 2010 emissions level engines primarily dragged down the profits. However, this was partially offset by lower SG&A expenses and decrease in engineering and product development costs.
Revenues declined 22.5% year over year to $2.5 billion in the quarter, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.9 billion. The year-over-year decrease in revenues was due to a 14% decline in industry demand and lower market share of the company due to its transition to clean engine systems as per EPA regulation. This was partially offset by higher sales volumes in the South America engine business.
Warrenville, Ill-based Navistar manufactures and sells commercial trucks, mid-range diesel engines, buses, military vehicles and chassis for motor homes and step-vans. It also provides service parts for various trucks and trailers. Currently, the company carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) on its stock.
Some stocks that are performing well in the industry in which Navistar operates include Visteon Corp. ( VC ), STRATTEC Security Corporation ( STRT ) and Magna International Inc. ( MGA ). All these companies carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

College students (and all of us) are burdened by the idea that we have to succeed in all areas of our lives to be as well balanced as we can, but when does the idea of being perfect go too far? At times, there is a lot of pressure to get the best grades possible on our finals. There are many people that struggle with perfectionism, whether it is realized or not.

My experiences in the early childhood and elementary education program have given me the opportunity to practice what I'm learning in programs and schools across the Burlington area and abroad.
During my first year, I read to preschoolers and worked at an afterschool program with students ages 6-12. In my second year, I interned in a preschool and a kindergarten classroom. I planned lessons; taught reading, science and math; and applied my knowledge from the classroom to real life. Having these experiences in a classroom opened my eyes to the wider requirements of being a teacher and both the challenges and joys that can come from working with five-year-olds every day. When I studied abroad, I was able to spend a semester in Ireland teaching young Irish students.
Through a full-time placement in my senior year, I'll apply all that I've learned at Champlain and continue to learn more as I work under an excellent mentor teacher and my supportive Champlain teachers.
If I had never stepped foot in a classroom, or had the supportive mentor teachers and professors at Champlain to guide me along the way, I would not feel anywhere near as confident as I do about finding a job upon graduation. I know I'll be able to apply all of the knowledge I have acquired inside and outside the classroom to any job I apply for.
Nicole, Early Childhood/Elementary Teacher Education MajorWillmington, MADIVISION OF EDUCATION & HUMAN STUDIES
I've always wanted to be a teacher, but I really struggled with the age group that I wanted to teach. Champlain's Upside-Down Curriculum allowed me to get a feel for my major, and after working with middle school students, I knew that this was the perfect age group for me. They're right at the age when everything about the world is starting to make sense, and it's amazing to watch them progress and grow as individuals.
I've really enjoyed working in a classroom each semester. I've worked at Edmunds Middle School, Westford School and Hunt Middle School. The Burlington district really allows students to gain experience in working with diversity. The classes that I've worked in have always had a mix of learning levels which offers a unique challenge that most students haven't experienced. Being able to start in the classrooms early also allows us to make those crucial connections and references that we wouldn't normally forge until later.
But, my favorite part about Champlain's education program is the class size. My classes have only eight students in them, so over the years, we really get to know each other well. It feels really good to struggle and succeed with people who are experiencing the same things as you.
It's all helped me feel incredibly confident entering the job market. Champlain has given me the skills and experiences necessary to be a top-notch applicant.
Teal, Middle School Teacher Education MajorWestford, VTDIVISION OF EDUCATION & HUMAN STUDIES
When I was in high school, I knew I wanted to teach; I just wasn't sure what subject or age. One of the main things that attracted me to Champlain was the Upside-Down Curriculum. The idea of beginning to work in my major right from the start was incredible. I was able to apply what I was learning and figure right away whether or not I would enjoy teaching.
I realized that as much as I love kids, teenagers are just more entertaining because you can really build a relationship with them.
At all of my internships, I've been in charge of creating lessons and curriculums that engage and teach students. But nothing compares to my time in Dublin at Mount Temple Comprehensive School. I taught four American Literature classes each week where I was completely on my own within a classroom. I don't think I could have gotten that experience anywhere else. The teachers that I worked with were extremely helpful and really gave me a chance to make those class periods my own.
All of my experiences will help further my understanding of how to run a classroom successfully in the future. I'm very confident about finding a job because of the amount of in-class experience that I have already acquired in just four years.
Nick, Secondary Teacher Education MajorMiddleton, MADIVISION OF EDUCATION & HUMAN STUDIES
When it came to deciding which college I wanted to attend, I was terrified. I applied to Champlain because I wanted to expand my writing skills and the Professional Writing major offered just that. Writing wasn't the only thing I wanted to do. In high school, I was blessed with teachers who really cared about me as an individual and they helped me follow my heart; I wanted to pay it forward and make a difference. I decided to do two things: follow my dreams by pursuing writing and become the best teacher I could.
On Accepted Students Day, I found my niche. I was coaxed out of my anxious shell in front of a room of strangers and asked to rattle off a poem I had just written. That action alone, the ability to make me be open, made it clear there was one place I needed to be: Champlain College.
The most important thing the Professional Writing program has taught me is not to pigeonhole myself. Veins of opportunity are opening up in front of us every day, and all we need to do is recognize and act on them. If there is something I want to do, there is nothing stopping me except myself and my own self-doubt. Once you dispel all that, the possibilities for what you can do are limitless. Hayley, Professional Writing & Secondary Education Double MajorWest Hartford, CTDIVISION OF EDUCATION & HUMAN STUDIES
Laurel knows her role goes beyond the classroom. "I traveled to Europe, worked for a professor, served as a resident assistant and taught school in two countries. I am more than just an education student."
"Champlain has made me more confident. I gained a lot of good skills to market myself. I learned to write well and am proficient in several software programs. In the schools where I train, the teachers like the Champlain students and know that we are on top of things. Other college students usually intern in their senior year for only one semester, so they lack long-term contact and experience."
"After graduation, I do plan to teach, perhaps overseas. I like being out of my comfort zone. That's something I would not have known if I had not come to Champlain. I feel I'm ready to do many things."
Laurel, Middle School Teacher Education majorIpswich, MADIVISON OF EDUCATION & HUMAN STUDIES
When I was touring and visiting schools, Champlain was always on my list. I was really attracted to Champlain's Upside-down Curriculum, and being able to work with kids right away. There are seven elementary schools in Burlington, not to mention surrounding towns, and the volunteer opportunities and student placements give you the chance to apply what you're learning.
I already have four years of experience working with kids, and those experiences are all so different. I have been able to view my position working with children in so many different ways that I feel like my competitive edge is not only the amount of internships I've had before graduation, but the different learning experiences that have all taught me something new. I made lessons for the whole class, worked one-on-one with students and facilitated small groups activities.
My student placements let me do all sorts of things to practice my teaching skills. The classroom work we did was the theory piece where we learned about teaching, but the placements were the real practice. We actually learned how to use the theory and become our own teachers. Once I got to my student teaching, everything that I did and learned came into play. I used all of those tools I had to have an amazing time in my fifth grade class, but also learn more and change my perspectives in education and who I am as a teacher.Josh, Early Childhood/Elementary Teacher Education MajorSandown, NHDIVISION OF EDUCATION & HUMAN STUDIES
I used to volunteer in my mother's kindergarten class as an assistant whenever I could and I absolutely loved working with her students. One of the best parts about being a mentor was really understanding where students are coming from and developing ways to meet their needs.
This experience led me to discover my passion in education. When I started looking at colleges, my high school academic counselor recommended Champlain for their education program. I instantly felt at home; Champlain was the ideal college for me because I would have field placements starting my first semester on campus.
These placements have allowed me to work with children ranging from three to ten years old in very diverse environments, from Montessori, public and private schools to inner city and magnet schools. From all my placements, I learned that I love working with third graders because that's where students transition from learning to read to reading to learn. Instead of teaching concepts such as phonemes and sound-to-letter correspondence, I'm able to let children use those skills to learn history and science concepts and help them develop their skills as a reader and a writer in the classroom.
By the time I graduate, the combination of my first-hand experience at seven student placements, the leadership skills I've gained through being a Peer Advisor and the networking I've done with faculty and staff on campus makes me feel confident entering the job market.
Rebecca is currently applying to be an Au Pair in France.
Rebecca, Early Childhood/Elementary Teacher Education MajorSharon, MADIVISION OF EDUCATION & HUMAN STUDIES
I knew I wanted to become a teacher in the first grade. I looked up to all my teachers and I thought they had the coolest jobs. I didn't do very well in the beginning of high school, and it wasn't until certain teachers really showed that they cared about my education and well-being that I started to excel. I chose my major because I want to be the teacher who makes a difference to students.
Champlain's Education programs do a really good job at preparing us for jobs after college. Each class I've taken has made me aware of different learning styles to think about when creating lesson plans, including working with English Language Learners (ELL). There have been a lot of challenges that I have had to overcome throughout the program, and ELL was definitely the hardest. But this program has such a great support system that I overcame this and gained the skills I need to help and provide knowledge to ELL students.
I'm very confident about entering the job market after graduation because not only am I learning techniques and skills for educating students, but I've also applied these skills right away. I have been in a school or a mentoring program every semester. Within my first month at Champlain, I was placed in a middle school classroom. I can't wait to be a teacher, and I'm more than ready.

The book "Heaven on Earth" displays some of my most prized images that bring peace and harmony to a person visually, which in turn, manifests itself into peace and harmony internally.
The concept was derived from the growing need for humans to bring more serenity into their lives. The natural environment is the ultimate remedy for this. I help by providing these images for visual stimulation in hopes that the individual will see the need to indulge in the "real" natural environment.
"Heaven on Earth" provides the start to one's journey back to "Mother Earth."

Cramer: We've Got All the Apple We Need
Jim Cramer
Apr 24, 2013 | 11:55 AM EDT
By Jim Cramer |
Apr 24, 2013 | 11:55 AM EDT
Real Money) --"How can Apple (AAPL - Get Report) stock go down from here? Everyone I know has an iPhone." There it is: The single most damning question that can be asked both about Apple the company and, perhaps more important, Apple the stock. It's the inquiry that explains this stock's inability to get out of its own way despite the huge cash hoard, despite the millions and millions of iPhones sold, despite the popularity of the iPad and despite the love of the ecosystem. All of these, of course, have been extolled repeatedly by management to the total deaf ears of the gathered, beleaguered analyst community. The reason Apple shares can't lift -- even despite what you'd consider impressive earnings if you didn't know any better -- is that everyone owns an Apple product and everyone seems to own the stock. You can't sell iPhones to people who have iPhones, unless the new iPhones are far better than the old ones -- which they aren't. You also can't sell Apple's stock to people who already have Apple stock. Editor's Note: This article was originally published on Real Money on April 24. To see Jim Cramer's latest commentary as it's published, sign up for a free trial of Real Money. However, you can sell Samsung phones to Apple iPhone users, and that's happening in increasing numbers around the globe. You can sell Pepsico (PEP), McDonald's (MCD) and Kimberly-Clark (KMB) to Apple shareholders, too -- because that's what those folks should buy if they want dividends, steady growth and increasing gross margins with lessened competition and declining raw costs. Now, I do not mean to be condescending when I write that Apple's earnings were impressive if you didn't know any better. I am simply pointing out that, if the people who own Apple's stock were to listen to the conference call, they would know exactly what I am talking about. It was a surreal call. It was as if management was giving you a liberal arts survey course on the greatness of the Apple civilization, and that the analysts were critiquing The Rise and Fall of the Apple Empire. Apple was teaching the wrong course! This is why: As Apple prattled on about how much the people really love Apple and how Apple intends, in return, to shower them with cash, the analyst community was trying to figure out how poorly Apple really was performing. The analysts -- many of them no doubt scrawling on their iPads and listening on their iPhones -- only want to try to figure out how badly Apple is really getting trounced by Samsung. They are fixated, correctly, on gross margins, because gross margins are the giveaway as to whether Apple can continue charging more than everyone else and still be loved. The community's giving that metric a raging thumbs-down -- which is, again, why this feels more like the fall of the Roman Empire and not the rise of it.NEW YORK (
