The Average Cost Of A U.S. Wedding Is Actually Down At $26K
With wedding season wrapping up, it seems some couples are spending less than they did in previous years.
According to a recent study by Brides magazine, the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. (we're going to assume the numbers aren't that different here) was $26,522. This is a drop from $28K as previously stated by the magazine in 2014, Bustle reports.
"This year's study shows that, in true millennial style, today's brides are focused on making both the wedding and the planning process more meaningful and enjoyable for all involved," editor-in-chief Keija Minor said in a statement.
"Brides are moving away from requiring their bridesmaids to wear the exact same dress, with 66 per cent asking them to wear only the same colour instead. Grooms are weighing in on more of the details than ever before, making the big day and events surrounding it more personal and reflective of their style as a couple."
According to the study, the average cost of a reception was $11,380, cakes were $417 and the cost of the average wedding dress was $1,517 — slightly more than brides paid in 2014.
The study also found other interesting tidbits like couples are still more likely to get married on Saturdays and 58 per cent of participants were willing to go past their budget for a wedding they wanted.
Earlier this year, The Knot also released their wedding costs data, and it turns out the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. was $32,641 in 2015. This figure did not include the honeymoon.
Of course, these are just numbers reflected in a study, couples can spend anywhere from $5,000 or less on a budget-friendly wedding to something in the $100,000 range which has been found to be the average for many Indian weddings in Canada, the CBC reports.
Weddings can also be cultural and religious, so for many there are additional events and costs involved.
If you are looking for ways to save on your big day, try cutting down the guest list (we know, this is hard but it has to be done), skip floral centre pieces and go for herbs or rent a wedding dress instead of buying a new one.

I was thinking about the world war movies when this thought struck me about some difference between photography and video on the world war. Of course besides world war, we can relate this two subjects together almost frequently to always if its news related.
Having seen black and white clips and movies of war, it showed cruelty and gore. It shows how the story unfolds and how progress was made with each passing second.
On the other yet, a photograph brought about a more engaging interaction between the viewer and itself albeit being a silent witness of the event.
When being shown a documentary, the viewer is lead to follow the sequential events that unfold and at the same time thinks a bit of the events why and how it happens. Sometimes the answer are provided in the clip itself.
However, a black and white photograph becomes an art form left to be guessed. The viewer finds answers in his own thoughts and perspective, each individual having his own individualistic perspective.
That, I think is the power of photography, it evokes the mind to infer and think. There is no right answer and a photograph speaks a thousand words, if not more.

SarahLou DesignsShowing items 1-5 of 5.
It was a dark and stormy night...
Not really. We met one day and started talking about how awesome Michelle looked everyday. SarahLou just grew from there.
We started with a vision of what we wanted to end with; our dream is to have our own retail spot, where all our loves would come together. So we started sewing and our path has laid out before us. One reformed article of clothing at a time.
Using our love of vintage, the thrill of hunting at thrift stores, and a love of music, color and patterns, we re-craft clothing for men and women. Making items with a not so spectacular design past, into fantastic clothing you will wear with pride. Currently, everything we make is one of a kind, but we are quickly moving into making multiples. We have not given up on reusing, though. At the core of what we do, it is still important to us that we be renewing and reusing. There is just too much stuff on our planet that we can remake for you to wear and enjoy!

If voting could make real change, it would be illegal.
THE arrest of both leaders of an elected party is unprecedented for a member of the European Union. On September 28th the Greek government began a crackdown on Golden Dawn, a neo-Nazi party, which has 18 MPs in Greece's 300-strong parliament. Among those put in handcuffs by counter-terrorism officers in bulletproof vests and balaclavas were Nikos Michaloliakos, leader of Golden Dawn, four other MPs and 14 party supporters. Mr Michaloliakos's deputy, Christos Pappas, gave himself up to police a day later.

Isn't the Venetian BEAUTIFUL?!?
Presenting for SDE: My iTeach 2nd Journey
Friday, July 17, 2015
Last week, I traveled to Las Vegas to present at the National iTeach 2nd conference with SDE. If you have not been to a professional development event hosted by SDE before, you need to talk to your administrator NOW and say I want to go!!! It was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had and I'm so excited to share my adventure with you!
It all started last October when I got an e-mail from someone at SDE saying that they read this little blog of mine and wanted to know if I'd be interested in presenting at the first iTeach 2nd conference this summer. After talking it over with family and friends and lots and lots of praying, I said one of the scariest "YESES" in my life! Why was is scary? This was something that I had never dreamed of doing. It was honestly never something I had ever even thought of. Looking back on it now, it was one of the best YESES I've ever said (next to yes, I will marry you, I do, etc...) After talking back and forth with a representative, we decided that I would be presenting over academic vocabulary.
Then, in January my husband and I found out we were expecting our first child. A prayer that we had been praying for for so long. A few days after receiving the BEST news, it hit me that I might not be able to present at iTeach 2nd. Honestly, I was heartbroken. I counted up the weeks and realized that I would be 7 months pregnant while I was there and that brought on all sorts of worries. Will my doctor even let me travel that far? Can I travel alone? Is it safe to be that far away? What will SDE think? Will they be supportive? I had a slight break down. A few weeks later I was able to talk to my doctor and he said that I would be able to travel but after that, NO MORE! I was so thankful for this news. I then e-mailed my rep with SDE to share our news and they could not have been more supportive!
Over the past several months I've slowly been prepping for the big event and trying to pick out the perfect activities to talk about. School let out at the end of May and I was ready to go. I knew that June would be crazy busy with baby showers and such. Then, the big day finally came. I have to give a big shout out to this guy. He helped me get everything together, edit my presentation, and listened to me practice over and over. I couldn't have done it with him and his support. #BestHusbandEver We snapped a selfie as he dropped me off at the airport. He was unable to come with me due to his job but he was there with me every step of the way!
After arriving in Vegas on Sunday, I got checked into my hotel room and went to get my presenter packet. My nerves were doing ok up until I saw the room I was presenting in. It was HUGE!!! Of course, I knew how many people were registered for my session and knew that I wouldn't fill it up but still...the size of it was intimidating.
Isn't the Venetian BEAUTIFUL?!?
Isn't the Venetian BEAUTIFUL?!?
Monday was the BIG DAY! I was going to present for SDE! Me! This small town girl from Texas. Who would have ever thought? That morning I was a nervous wreck. My presentation wasn't until 3:00 that afternoon. To keep my mind occupied, I attended some morning sessions and got a feel for what that afternoon would be like. There I met some AMAZING ladies who I've followed for a long time. Allison from Stuckey in Second and Stephanie from Midnight in 2nd Grade. I just want to say that I could not have done it without these ladies. They helped keep me calm all morning. They even showed up early to my session to help me set up. I was so grateful since I only had 30 minutes to get everything together.
Allison, Me, Stephanie
My favorite Texas gals also showed up to support me at my session as well and also helped me set up before. The ladies from All Ya'll Need are the sweetest! Lisa and Amy have always been big supporters of my adventure and I could not be more grateful for them. Lisa (on the left) and I actually went to college at Texas Tech together. Wreck 'Em! All of the ladies I mentioned helped pass out handouts, set up my activities, and stayed late to help me pack up. #ThankfulTeacher
Then the big moment came! I'm not going to lie, the first few minutes I was probably the most nervous I've ever been in my life. Then I realized that people were actually listening to what I had to say, my nerves calmed down, and I got into my groove! Here are few snap shots from my session. A big thanks to Lisa for the photos!
67 smiling people attended my session. I spoke about the importance of using academic vocabulary in the classroom and shared resources I use in my classroom as tools to teach it effectively. Then, I shared how I introduce vocabulary each week and demonstrated 4 games to help increase vocabulary success!
Afterwards, I was on the biggest high! I was so proud of myself and what I had just accomplished. I had several people come up to me and say that I did a great job and answered several questions.
Madison (my sweet baby girl) was with me every step of the way. She was kicking away the whole time. At one point, my name tag started flopping around. She was her mommy's number one supporter. My husband and I have decided that she is destined to be a teacher because she was so active during the entire conference. That makes me happy!
That night all of my fabulous support group from that day celebrated with me at dinner! We laughed and chatted for several hours. It was the perfect end to the best day! Thank you ladies for all of you support and getting me through the day. I couldn't have done it without you!
Lisa (All Ya'll Need), Abbie (Tales from the First Grade Teacher), Allison (Stuckey in Second), Linda and Michelle (Kinderbrations), Stephanie (Midnight in 2nd Grade), Amy (All Ya'll Need), Me
What did I learn from this experience...it is OK to step out of your comfort zone. It is OK to take risks. The reward makes it all worth it. I can now say that I presented for SDE at their NATIONAL conference! I survived! I didn't forget to talk about anything. I didn't fall off my stage. I...DID...IT!!!
*I do not look 7 months pregnant in this photo. #ifeelhuge
If you attended my session and came up to me at any point throughout the week, THANK YOU! Not only did you help build my confidence, you helped me step out of my bubble to take more risks!
I've been invited to present at the SDE 2nd & 3rd grade conference in Texas next January. There I will be presenting 2 sessions and can't wait to share more details with you as time gets closer.
If you missed my session you can read this blog post to give you a little bit of an idea of what I talked about.
Thanks again to everyone and their support throughout this journey. I couldn't do it without you and I can't wait to see what the future brings!

So proud of you! The experience really is something else! I am so glad that you did it and that you will present for them again! If teachers want to stay in the classroom, yet still extend their teacher-mentor role...presenting is the way to go!! :)ReplyDelete

Page, Arizona: It's strange to see a town planned and built in the 1950s. There's a turn in the road where every church is lined up in a row.The next turn, motels. I saw my friend Cristina's band "Native Country" there. They're a Navajo country and western band. That's right, Indians have become cowboys, buried the hatchet and wallow together in the twangy blues. It was really wild, but I don't have the time to write about it at length. In the meanwhile, here's a story about Rez bands in general.
Lake Powell: (1957-2019) Failed attempt at hydroelectric and tourist development by damning (sic) the Colorado River at the south end of Glen Canyon. In spite of monumental efforts to redress the damage, the canyon ecosystem is not expected to reach its pre-dam state until early in the next century.
Valley of the Gods, Utah: Valley of the Gods is BLM land, which means you can pretty much camp anywhere, although there are customary sites where people usually camp. It's free. There's usually nobody around. For miles. And miles. I looked out over the horizon and could see neither the glow of any nearby community's light pollution, nor the tell-tale lights of isolated houses. I saw one campfire, far far in the distance. Much of the earth probably looked like this to people. It's beautiful, but for an Easterner who's never more than a stone's throw from someone else, it's disconcerting.
The No-Shoulder Phenomenon: Quasi-Hallucinatory State. Here're the symptoms: An Easterner spends his life driving through forests. The horizon is always shaped like the tops of deciduous and coniferous trees, and it's always close at hand. If there are open spaces, there are inevitably the lights of houses to circumscribe the space. In the Southwest, more often than not, the horizon is flat, jagged or mesa-shaped, and usually far away. There're no streetlights and there are large areas where nobody lives. When one drives at night on many roads, one only sees the short bit of road ahead; the rest is the encroaching Nothing. My brain adjusts to this by manufacturing the feeling that, just outside of the cone of the headlights, there's a forest on either side of me. I swear I can see wisps of forest shapes in the dark void. It's very disconcerting.

It remains to be seen if the strong side backer is healthy enough to
contribute as a third-down pass-rusher. Boulware will be used as a down lineman
playing opposite of Terrell Suggs on the edge, a role he excelled in during much
of his NFL career. Boulware's knowledge and understanding of how to use moves to
break down an offensive tackle is undisputed; but if he lost much of the burst
and explosiveness he had before going down with an injury against the Cleveland Browns during the 2003 season, he may not have much of an impact.
Conversely, if Boulware returns to form, the Ravens will have a much more effective four man front to get after the quarterback in third-and-long situations. Ideally, Boulware and Suggs would line up as ends on the outside, while the Ravens could move Jarret Johnson to the inside next to Anthony Weaver. When the Ravens have to line up in a dime package, the coaches could also tinker with using Adalius Thomas at defensive tackle to match-up against a guard.
If the quicker front four can collapse the pocket consistently on third-down without the help of a heavy blitz, the Ravens' pass coverage will benefit greatly…
Speaking of linebackers, the Ravens may have a true find in insider linebacker Mike Smith. Smith was drafted out of Texas Tech in the seventh-round of this year's draft. Through training camp practices and a preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, the first year pro has been a playmaker. Smith has good range and speed. He possesses the versatility and size to line up at either outside or inside linebacker positions.
What stands out the most about Smith is his technique. When coming into the box to stuff running backs, the rookie linebacker uses his hands well to stack and shed blockers. He also does a nice job of wrapping up the ball carrier. In coverage situations, Smith displays good speed when chasing from sideline-to-sideline.
Although it is still early, look for Smith to make the 53-man roster…
B.J. Sams' hold on a roster spot was already tenuous given the emergence of Patrick Johnson and Mark Clayton as return men. Johnson was a solid kick returner for the Ravens during the first two years of his career in Baltimore. Clayton was among the top punt returners in college football while he played at Oklahoma.
With Sams' recent arrest, the two receivers may have gained further ground in the competition…
There was some doubt about Ovie Mughelli earning a place on the Ravens' final roster, but thus far, he has performed well in training camp, and he filled in aptly for starting fullback Alan Ricard against the Falcons.
Mughelli helped spearhead the Ravens' strong rushing attack against Atlanta by consistently winning his one-on-one encounters against any linebacker he was assigned to block. If Mughelli can stay healthy and consistent, he should be a solid blocking backup to Ricard. In addition, if Ricard is not re-signed by Baltimore in the off-season, Mughelli should step into the starting role.

So much has happened since my last post. But one things remains true – God has blessed us abundantly and there is so much love in our family!
The kids are in 2nd grade this year and are excelling. It amazes me each day how much they have learned and how much they have grown over the last 22 months. As I type that number, I am amazed that it has only been that long! We feel like we have been together forever! That is what a forever family feels like! I am smiling as I think about God's goodness to us! God also adopts us and puts us in His forever family! We have an awesome God!
We closed the restaurant in the fall. We love our family and our family time too much! Tony hardly had any time to spend with the children and we were always so busy! We decided that it was the best thing for our family. We have started a new venture though. The kids have had serious allergy issues since we brought them home. So do Tony and I. Some dear friends of ours, introduced us to a company called Genesis Pure. Genesis Pure is pure, natural, vitamins, minerals, and superfruits to help your body cleanse, balance, and build your way to health. We decided to try it. Genesis Pure has made such an amazing difference in our lives! Our family is free from allergies! We also have more energy (not that the kids needed more energy – but the parents sure did!). We feel so much better all around! We have even been able to quit taking our medications! We feel so much healthier! We created our own website to share with others because we believe that God gave us the things on the earth for us to be healthy – we believe in all natural remedies instead of medications with side affects. http://puregen4u.com/
Since we started feeling so healthy and Tony is home more, he has started making things from scratch! We have enjoyed fresh homemade bread, butter, and peanut butter! The meals we eat at home are exquisite! He makes most things from scratch and the flavors are wonderful! We are so proud of our chef at home!
We enjoy our family time! The kids really enjoy games! We have played twister, Clue, Battleship, Phase Ten, Chicken Foot, Monopoly, etc. We are not a techy family or a TV family – we enjoy spending time together! We do enjoy playing games together on the Wii. The kids and I played basketball on the Wii one day for hours. I found out that there are some muscles in my legs that I hadn't used much! Ouch! But it was worth it!
Tibi is still our writer. He enjoys reading and writing over most activities! Recently at church, Tibi took notes on everything that was said. He wrote an entire page front and back! He likes to write notes to family too! His notes are so sweet! His favorite book to read is his Bible. He reads it each night and enjoys telling us about what he read. He excels in reading and writing at school too. Tibi is also a singer – he makes up his own songs all day long!
Dorina really enjoys her music! She sings almost all of the time. She has been singing Christmas music for weeks already!!! She is also our big helper! She really enjoys helping around the house! She is such a big help! She is making so much progress at reading! She enjoys it now too! She reads her Bible every night also. She really enjoys math too! She loves to help Daddy in the kitchen and wants to learn to make everything Daddy does!
Our children are such a joy to us! They have given us so much love and laughter and joy! They are the happiest children we know! We are very proud of them and we thank God for them daily!

PhoneGap and Obsolete Documentation
I thought to put down some of my thoughts about PhoneGap as it might help somebody to save his/her time.
In last one year I have tried a few times to learn PhoneGap, to no avail. I have been doing web and Android development for a few years, and not new to these tools, but somehow this PhoneGap thing never worked for me.
The biggest problem I have faced is the obsolete and outdated documentation, examples and tutorials. Old examples and old code which just wastes your time and gets you nowhere. I wonder how they even roll out any new change without documenting it first.
The very first problem starts with the terms 'phonegap' and 'cordova'. As of writing of this post, which is 30th of April 2013, for a beginner there is no clear mention of what is the difference between cordova and phonegap. It has been almost 2 years that Adobe acquired PhoeGap and renamed it to Cordova (why, I would ask) but they failed to mention it anywhere in the documentations.
in early 2012 I downloaded phonegap and it was cordova version 2.4 even back then. Yet even today when I find tutorials, they refer to it as phonegap and not cordova. This shows how old these tutorials are, and keep you wondering if cordova and phonegap the same thing.
I also found 4 books, two of them published in 2012, and still no mention of the term Cordova except in one of them, and only at a few places because for the rest it is still calling phonegap-x.x.js.
Also, in the latest code as of today, i.e. cordova-2.6.0, the app is initialized using some app.initialize() method in the example which comes with it. However I failed to find anywhere this method documented. All the books and examples are still starting the apps with old <body onLoad="init()"> way.
Not only this, I also copied pasted codes to my test projects, and they didn't work. Also trying to switch from app.initialize() to <body onLoad="init()"> caused the example to fail to do anything.which according to its brief online mention says it should do the same thing.
Now the books, when they say to unzip the cordova-2.x.x-ios.zip file, you wonder where this file exists, because it simply doesn't exist any more. Makes you wonder how to learn this thing at all. A careful look also shows that in the books or documentation it is looking for this file in folder iOS, notice capital letters, however in the download the folder is ios with small letters. This means somebody updated the downloadable files, removing the ios related installer, but didn't mention anywhere how to go about with it now.
Given all the frustration and waste of time due to above, I have decided not to waste time on PhoneGap and go with Objective C. Take a longer learning path but do it the right way. As for Android, I can program it native anyways. And as for BB, will simply outsource it to do it in its own C++.
As an end note, for quality and performance oriented app, using PhoneGap, AppMobi, App Maker, Appcelarator and any similar tools for non-native development will only disappoint you in the end. For real work, you have no choice but to go native.

Executive Summary
Enhanced Oil Resources Inc. (TSX-V Exchange Symbol EOR.V) is a Houston based oil company that owns, operates and produces oil from 2 legacy oilfield in the Permian Basin of eastern New Mexico. The Company's vision is to become a leading energy producer in the Permian Basin through development of it's oil reserves by utilizing technology improvements such as well down-spacing, fracture stimulation methods and, longer term, through CO2-EOR enhanced oil recovery. The Company's independent engineering consultants have estimated that these 2 legacy oilfields have produced only 55 Million barrels of oil from a total in-place resource of approximately 320 million barrels. By utilizing modern technology improvements including full field CO2-EOR these fields could produce an additional 60 Million barrels of oil and, once developed, could produce in excess of 10,000 barrels of oil per day.
Enhanced Oil Resources is a producing an average of 68 barrels of oil per day at the end of Q2 2014. The Company has assembled an asset base of legacy oilfields that have considerable potential for reserves and production growth through redevelopment of these assets by well down-spacing and enhanced oil recovery processes. The Company purchased the oil fields for less than 10 cents a barrel of potentially recoverable oil, initiated and completed a successful CO2 pilot flood, commissioned and received independent reserve reports on the EOR-CO2 oil potential and secured a near term supply of CO2 through a "take-or-pay" gas delivery contract with Kinder Morgan CO2 Company, L.P. With the CO2 contract now in hand Enhanced Oil Resources has put in motion the development of the full CO2 flood that is projected to increase production from current levels to over 2,500 barrels per day within 4 years at Milnesand.
Enhanced Oil Resources Inc has initiated the re-development of the Milnesand field in preparation for CO2 injection that is scheduled to begin no later than August 2015. The re-development includes up to 64 producers and 89 injectors. The re-development plan begins by decreasing well spacing from 40 acre spacing to 20 acres spacing to increase reserves and production not previously accessed by the broader well density. The systematic program would consistently increase daily production up to the injection phase and then increase it once again once injection starts. Estimated production over the initial infill development program is:
CO2 Injection starts during the 4th Quarter of 2015 with peak CO2-EOR oil production increasing by an additional 2,500 BOPD in Year 4 of the CO2 flood at Milnesand and an additional 7,500 at Chaveroo.

400 mile, 18 hour WV & GWNF Trip Report
On Wednesday, my wife and I put in an 18 hour, 400 mile day of touring WV country roads and wheeling in the remaining snow in the GWNF. Our jumping off point was Wardensville, WV on Hwy 55. We ran south down WV259 and explored as many side roads, hill tops and hollows along the way as we could find.
As much as I like the Flapgpole run, I find the GWNF Long Run road complex (mountains north of Hwy 33) more interesting. We ticked off the Peru Hollow and German River approaches to the high ground. We laid tracks on fresh snow which is always cool and checked out some side forest roads that don't see a lot of traffic. We had to bust out the chains just around dark when the snow got frame-deep towards the top of mountain. Eventually, we decided discretion was the better part of valor and decided to call it quits about 10 p.m. and head back to Sterling. Before heading down we stopped for a soup break on a snow swept ridge and enjoyed the full moon and the glimmer of Harrisonburg lights many miles distant. There's something very rewarding about knowing you have a whole mountain to yourselves and that you are completely on your own. Navigation down the mountain was interesting. There were 6 forest road intersections close by so even with two Garmin GPS' running and preprogrammed waypoints I still had to plot UTM grid coordinates on the fly to find Dry Run road for our descent.
Heading back on I-81 north I saw the Edinburgh exit sign so I jokingly asked my copilot wife if she was up for a midnight run of Peter's Mill. She said, "Sure!", so off we headed. Turns out the FS had closed Peter's Mill due to the recent snow so down the hill we headed. We ended up home after 1 a.m. Awesome day. Here are some misc. pics.

Kudos to my bride of 28 years for her high spirits and willingness to get out of a warm Jeep 11 o'clock at night to help me air up.
Awesome. Sounds like a great loop.

Date of Stay: October, 2015
This campground has improved over the years. New ownership has worked hard on making it better, creating more campsites and personalizing camping. It's a great place to stay if there's an interest in Nashville only minutes away. There's an antique district in Goodlettsville that can be shopped as well as many other retailers in the area. The owners of this campground are super friendly, knowledgeable of the area, and help guide every camper to their campsite. The owner's are personable, hard working people who will extend themselves to make the stay great. Very good rest spot, or to tour the locale. Thanks for a restful night.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
Breathtaking view of the greenbelt region of Vermont and the Appalachian Mountains. This campground was very accommodating and after we stayed we wished we had longer. Many things to do in the campground, canoeing, paddle boats, etc, and there was no extra cost at the time, a plus in an economy that is on the cusp of getting better. The service, campsites and view were everything and owners were a wealth of information. I highly recommend this campground.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
Regardless of the naysayers in past reviews of Cape Ann, I am going to give you an HONEST opinion and stray from the negative and pessimistic views of those who really can't appreciate the art of camping and life in an RV. The staff/owners of Cape Ann were more than accommodating by giving us two excellent sites with a gorgeous, breathtaking view of the salt marsh directly connected to the Atlantic Ocean. The sites were unbelievably located on quite a steep hill, previously mentioned in the less optimistic reviews, but with the excellent guest service of Cape Ann. We were given sites that were accommodating to our rigs needs. The service was beyond what other campgrounds give, the campground was a wealth of resources for localities and sight seeing. Wingaersheek Beach, just about a mile and a half down the road was costly but Cape Ann gives vouchers to lessen that cost. The beach is beautiful and worth a day trip. The bathhouses at Cape Ann were clean, the campsites were clean and the Wi-Fi was fast. All in all, our stay at Cape Ann left us refreshed, in awe of the east coast and the coastal towns, and we would highly recommend and give this campground a ten star rating based on our findings. Thanks Cape Ann for your love for customer service and understanding of people, it's an old school style, face to face, and it goes a long way.

Canadian tennis player Milos Raonic is brimming with confidence after a successful title defence at the SAP Open.
He's hoping his strong start to the season will give him the boost he needs as he tries to reach the upper echelon on the ATP World Tour. Raonic hasn't put a specific number on his goal, but feels he has a chance to reach the top 10 in the world rankings in 2012.
"That's where I want to be by the end of the year," Raonic said Monday on a conference call. "I don't think there's anything that really tells me that I don't belong there."
Raonic defeated Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan 7-6 (3), 6-2 in Sunday's final in San Jose, Calif., for his second tournament win of the season. Next up for the 21-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., is a stop at this week's World Tour 500 event in Memphis.
Raonic was a wild-card entry at the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships last year. He made it all the way to the final before falling in a three-set thriller to veteran American Andy Roddick.
This year the world No. 35, down three spots in the most recent rankings, will be one of the favourites at the US$1.115-million event.
"I feel just in general my confidence is growing, my respect from the other players is growing," said Raonic. "It's just coming together nicely."
Raonic has the fourth seed this week. He won in Chennai, India, earlier this year and now has three career singles titles.
He came up short against veteran Aussie Lleyton Hewitt in the third round at the Australian Open but bounced back with an impressive effort in San Jose, where his cannon-like serve was giving opponents fits.
Raonic rose to as high as No. 25 in the rankings last year — the highest ever for a Canadian — before a hip injury at Wimbledon cut his season short.
He was hampered by a left knee injury in Canada's loss to France at this month's Davis Cup but an MRI exam did not reveal any serious issues.
Doctors told Raonic the swelling was due to general "wear and tear" and that he would not be at risk by playing through it. In the meantime, he has been performing daily leg strengthening exercises and is taking painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication.
Raonic will open against world No. 70 Ernests Gulbis of Latvia on Wednesday.
"I've gotten a lot of good wins, I'm beating guys I feel I should beat," Raonic said. "I'm also playing well against the top guys. The only really unfortunate match was the one against Hewitt, which I felt I could have played better, but it's a learning experience.
"I feel like I'm taking care of the matches I need to take care of, I feel like I'm improving."
Raonic's game is rounding into form. His booming serve is complemented with steady baseline play and confident volleys.
"My match results are not always directly dependent on my service games," he said. "I feel like I'm also able to put pressure on the return games."
Raonic actually fell three places in the latest world rankings, a drop that was due in part to a schedule change. The Memphis tournament was played a week earlier in 2011, so those points are no longer included in his total.
American John Isner — who rose one position to No. 13 — will be the top seed this week. Toronto's Daniel Nestor and Belarusian partner Max Mirnyi are back to defend their men's doubles title and Vancouver's Rebecca Marino will play in the women's singles competition.Report Typo/Error

Helene Segara is Notre Dame de Paris
I'm not a great fan of musicals, and I haven't seen this one, but the music stands up very well in isolation, and it is well performed by a first-rate cast. More of this please.
Notre-Dame de Paris/Le Temp de Cathedrales
A friend introduced me to this musical a while back, and although I have not seen the musical some of the tracks are great. My favourite has to be Le temps de cathedrales.
Best musical ever
A friend introduced the musical to me years after it was performed all over the world. I have listened to the songs a million times, and am still in love with them! I wish they could remake the musical!

Ring Ring! Destiny's Calling
"He's waking up! Come quick guys!" the excited voice vaguely reminds me of someone. Claudine. Claudine is here. Right now. In the same room as me. Crazy Claudine.
I bolt up and a stinging pain in my back sends me falling back onto the many pristine white pillows. That wasn't going to work so instead I open my eyes wide. My arms are covered in an array of different tubes and I'm hooked up to some sort of gently beeping monitor. A pinkish fluid flows into my right arm and out my left arm in time with my pulse. Claudine looms over me her hair falling on my face and into my mouth. I spit and flare my nostrils.
"Oh sorry!" she dragged her hair away from my face and squeezed out my saliva.
On the other side of me I see Mum. Her hair is artfully styled into a neat silver bun with wispy tendrils of hair catching the light softly. She's wearing her favourite Dolche and Gabanna black and white suit with matching feathered Prada bag. I can't see her feet but I'm willing to bet she has on her killer Jimmy Choos. That's why I don't talk to my mother.
"Honey, it's about time you woke up, I've been in this suit for five hours, I need to change!" She arches her perfectly plucked eyebrows coyly, "Maybe my midnight blue gown. The one with the slit that reaches my hips. That Doctor Reynolds would like that one"
"Mum!" I manage to choke out, frustratingly angry.
"Calm down darling!" she laughs, "Ah, here comes your future father now!" I grunt and lower my eyes red-faced. Why couldn't my mother act her age?
Doctor Reynolds was in his mid-thirties. Or his mid forties. Maybe even fifties by the look of those wrinkles. Through the gap in his white coat I could see a Tommy Hilfiger grey silk tie. Oh my mother had her claws in him that's for sure.
"I trust your comfortable enough Mr Knight" he adjusted some tubing on my left arm and changed the fluid. The pinkish liquid turned redder.
"He's fine" my mother speaks for me yet again. She licks her lips and pouts, "But I'm so distraught over my son's accident that I need some comfort!" She reaches her spindly arms out to Doctor Reynolds and I just want to shout at her to 'give it a rest'. But I'm caught.
"Accident?" I squeak. Everyone immediately looks at me. Doctor Reynolds squirms a little and loosens the bribe silk tie.
"I'll leave you to explain Mona, Claudine" great he's on first name terms with everyone except me, "Pandora" he leaves me wondering who on earth is Pandora.
Mum bites her lips and pats her hair while Claudine twists a diamond ring on her finger round and round.
"Your sister-"
"My sister?" My mother sobs loudly and wipes wordlessly at an imaginary tear caught in her eye.
"He doesn't remember his sister! Good God, what are we going to do?" she wails. Claudine stretches out uncomfortably to pat my mother on the back in what I assume is in a consoling way. The diamond glints on her wedding ring finger.
"There, there Mona. I'm sure Pandora doesn't mind too much" My mother sees the ring on Claudine's finger. I don't really register what it means.
"You're going to have to call it off dear. He can't even remember his own flesh and blood, how is he going to remember his vows?"
It clicks.
"I'm getting MARRIED?"
My mother moans loudly and puts her head in her hands.
"I knew it would upset him!"

Kent Meireis
After working as a staff photographer for news papers such as The Denver Post for more than 20-years, I started my own wedding photography business in 1997, specializing in wedding photojournalism. Having a BA in journalism and two feature Pulitzer entries to my credits prepared me for my career of documenting weddings. My first taste of wedding photojournalism came to me while I was traveling in Japan where I was allowed to photograph parts of a traditional wedding. At the time I was working for the Denver Post. Within a year I left the paper to start my own wedding photography business.
Since then I've managed to photograph completely traditional weddings in both Italy and China. Someday I hope to publish a book on wedding cultures of the world. These experiences have helped me grow as a photojournalist so that I don't depend on spoken language as much as body language and respect while I am working. Even here in Denver I get many different types of wedding cultures and traditions such as Buddhist ceremonies. Last year I was hired to photograph one couples western wedding here in Denver and a Vietnamese Buddhist wedding in New Orleans the following week.
I've always loved telling stories with my pictures. Now I get to cover about 20 weddings a year and tell the stories in web based slideshows and in custom made books.
Award Winning Photos
The Wedding Photojournalist Association proudly recognizes the accomplishments and creative excellence of Kent. The following awards have been earned by Kent from the WPJA. These achievements come with great merit considering the high level of competition that a member faces in the contests.

Cool! I'm anything!
Helloooooooo!!!!!, I'm little miss anything! I live in the town of Random! I can be anything from a vampire to a box full of canned cherries(which I buy from cherry land!)!!!!
Yay! Right now, I'm a vampire. I suck blood(or cranberry&pommigrannit juice that LOOKS like bloodXXX)
As I said. I live in the pretty town of Random, where alot of normal randomers go. We all do our bit for the community. IE; Picking the money from the money tree's, collecting the chewing gum from the Anything-minty plant, helping transport the cranberry&pommigranit juice from the Princess Berry's land. And not forgetting giving gift to the Random-ie Goddess!
I hope more people will move here! We need all the randomers we can get!

Her Lady, Anew
Who am I, exactly? Evidently, I bear the name of Jace, Jace Whittaker. I'm only 14, yet I stalk around the streets of London, in hopes that I can find somewhere to stay. Tonight is no different. I held a hand over my stomach, feeling the vibrations from its relentless growling. My shoes were worn down so bad, that my heels caught feeling of the pavement every now and then. I walked for what seemed like forever, until my eyes caught sight of Big Ben.
The hands on the ginormous clock told me that it was 2:13 a.m. . I searched around for somewhere to sit, and found an alleyway. I pushed myself against the brick wall of a building, sliding down. My dress tore more with that motion, but I didn't care. All I wanted was to relax for a short while. I ran a hand through the unbelievable mess that is my hair. I tried pulling out a tangle, but ended up causing my scalp to bleed. I rested my arms on my knees, and rested my head on that. I sobbed quietly, allowing my tears to fall to the dirty pavement.
"Something the matter, m'lady?" A strong, yet soft voice cut through the night. I looked up to find a pair of red eyes in the darkness.
"Wh-What do...what do you w-want?" I stammered, still in tears.
"Ah, Miss. You're all filthy. If I were you, I'd come with me to my master's estate." The eyes now had a face, and a full body.
"Again, I'll repeat. What the hell do you want?" I forced myself to stand, facing the man. He wore a crisp suit, and had black hair that was longer on one side and stuck out.
"I'm Sebastian Michaelis. My Master is the Earl Phantomhive. May I?" He extended his hand, which was covered in a white glove.
Thunder rumbled in the distance, and I really didn't feel like sleeping outside in the rain again. I took this strange butler's hand, to which he scooped me up bridal style and began leaping from rooftop to rooftop.
*Time Skip*
We arrived at the large estate he had mentioned. I had no words for the size of this place...my low life scum eyes had never seen anything of the sorts such as this. Sebastian set me down, but allowed me to lean up against him since my legs were weak. He rang the doorbell, to which a maroon haired girl with pigtails and big glasses answered.
"Oi, Sebastian. Who might this lady be?" She inquired, poking her face out to where it was in mine.
"Mey-Rin, fetch the young Master, if you would." Sebastian smiled, closing his eyes.
"Alright, alright." The girl now known to me as Mey-Rin turned around, cupping her hands to her mouth.
"CIEEEELLLLL! SEBASTIAN HAS BROUGHT COMPANY!" Her high pitched voice echoed throughout the massive manor's inside. I covered my ears, hiding behind Sebastian.
After we had waited for about 10 minutes, a boy around my height showed up to the door in a blue and black complex outfit. He had navy hair, which fell over one eye. There was an eyepatch covering it, triggering my curiosity. His one open and exposed eye was a rich blue colour. He frowned up at the butler, not noticing me hiding behind.
"I see nothing, Sebastian. What have you interrupted my study for?" Ciel demanded, looking quite annoyed.
"Young Master, I was on a nightly stroll, you see, when I came across this damsel. She is quite rugged, but I assumed you wouldn't mind keeping her for at least a little while?" Sebastian grabbed my shoulders, presenting me.
"G-Greetings, Master Ciel." I felt my face begin to blush as I lightly waved at the boy.
I'm not sure if Ciel was surprised, angered, upset, or what. But his face turned the lightest tint of pink, as he reached out for my hand.
"I would be honoured to do this act of service. Take my hand, if you would. I would like to play chess with you." Ciel didn't exactly smile, but his lips curved upwards.
"I'll prepare her a room, Master." Sebastian bowed, darting off inside.
"Mey-Rin, go prepare snacks and the finest tea for our guest." Ciel turned to the maid, who was flustered.
"Y-Yes, Master!" She saluted, skipping off to the kitchen.
Ciel guided me through the gargantuan mansion, eventually leading to a room resembling a small library. There was a chess game already set up, the left side of the chair and table facing large open windows. Ciel pulled out my seat for me, pushing it closer to the table once I had made myself comfortable.
"So, madame, do you have a name?" Ciel made his first move, keeping a straight face.
"J-Jace. Jace Whittaker." I moved one of my pieces, knocking over one of his and taking it.
"Well then, Lady Jace, welcome to the Phantomhive Estate." Ciel smirked, closing his eye.
We played chess for a few hours, until Sebastian knocked on the door, entering immediately afterwards.
"Sebastian, is Lady Jace's room ready?" Ciel stood, facing his butler.
"Yes, young Master. It's 5 a.m. and a storm is rolling in, so I suggest you sleep. I'll guide Lady Jace to her room." Sebastian took my arm, and lead me to where I'd be staying.
I was completely taken aback by the size of the halls in this manor. I'd never seen anything close to this! We made our way to a room that was on the front facing side of the manor, the door right in front of several large mirrors. I could see the storm Sebastian was talking about, and it looked menacing.
"Lady Jace, I'll draw you a bath if y-"
"No, thank you, Sebastian. Could you send in Mey-Rin instead?" I did not like the idea of a boy's butler drawing up my bath water.
"Of course, my lady." He bowed slightly, leaving me to the extensive bedroom.
Exploring the room while I waited on Mey-Rin, I noticed several paintings of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth. They all hung flawlessly upon the deep crimson walls. All around the overwhelmingly red room, golden designs curled around the walls and dazzled the bed set. A knock came to the door, which I went to answer.
"Lady Jace? It's me, Mey-Rin." She poked her pigtails through the door.
"Enter. I trust Sebastian sent you to draw my bath?" I brushed some knotted hair from my face.
"You bet! I also brought you some fresh night clothes, yes I did!" Mey-Rin smiled broadly, placing the gown on my bed.
I sat on the bed, awaiting Mey-Rin to finish with the bath. I peeked in a few minutes after she started the water, and was amazed at how perfectly arranged and well-kept the bathroom was. Flawless white counter-tops with bright golden trim shined with the light. After Mey-Rin finished drawing the bath, I dismissed her so I could strip down.
Placing one leg in the warm water, I smiled as widely as I could. Never in my life had I had a bath such as this... I sat myself down in the tub, allowing my whole body to be buried with bubbles, only from my nose up was visible. I almost fell asleep, if it hadn't been for Mey-Rin re-entering the bathroom.
"Mey-Rin, why have you come back in here?" I ask curiously, poking my whole head and shoulders above the water.
"It's time for you to be scrubbed, Lady Jace. Oh, I apologize for not telling you oh yes I do." She hung her head, the huge glasses covering her eyes slid down here nose.
I sat up in the bathtub, allowing her to run over my back with a poofy sponge and drizzle soap on my frail skin. I winced every now in then, since I had bruises all over my back from being thrown around. Living on the streets for 6 years straight isn't easy, you know.
"My, my, Lady. You've gotten into quite the scuffles, haven't you?" Mey-Rin was now working on getting my hair untangled.
"It-It's nothing, really. Living like I have...you just sort of get used to it." I was lying through my teeth, but those are stories for another time.
"Well, the young Master wakes up at 10. It's now 6 if you would want to sleep a few hours." She bowed to me, hanging a fresh towel.
Standing up out of the bath, I wrapped the towel around me, forming a little dress. Walking back into the monstrous bedroom, I picked up the nightgown and went back into the bathroom to change. Looking at myself before I put the gown on, I noticed just how beaten my body looked. Bruises on my arms, torso, hips, back, you name it.
Sliding the silk gown over my freshly cleaned skin, I rubbed it on my wet hair. I flinched, when I realized that my hair would most likely curl overnight. I opened my door, walking over to the massive windows to get a look outside. The perfectly trimmed garden lay in wait at the oncoming storm, small raindrops beginning to pelt the glass and earth. I jumped and yelped a tad when footsteps approached me.
"Ease yourself, Lady Jace. I see you've bathed, how was it?" Ciel was looking straight at me, he was in his night clothes as well.
"I-It was delightful, Master." I felt my face blush, but for what? I turned back to the window, rain coming down harder.
"Please, address me as Ciel. I came down to say that I wanted to see you in my study, first thing after breakfast." He outstretched his hand, looking upon me with a straight face.
"Yes, Ciel. Sure thing." I nodded, shaking his hand.
"Goodnight, Lady Jace." The young boy turned away, walking back down the hall.
As I came back in my room and shut the door, thunder bellowed from outside. I'm glad there's no windows actually in my room... I hate storms! I thought to myself, curling up under the comforter blankets. Resting my tired head on the plush pillows, I fell asleep instantaneously.

Concerned that today's schoolgirls are lacking in ambition, the Government is putting together a guide for parents.
The material will, the Culture Secretary hopes, help baffled mothers and fathers to bring up the "aspirational young women" that modern notions of equality and economic efficiency demand.
Really? Granted, the aim to "broaden girls' aspirations and job choices" is an entirely laudable one. A government-sponsored "information pack" is hardly the way to do it, though.
Never mind broad questions about the nanny state; this plan falls down on simple efficacy. A few pointers about female astronauts or captains of industry will achieve little, particularly given that they come from a Government with just four women out of a Cabinet of 22. Forget the nonsense of info packs and parental nudges. To make a real difference to girls' aspirations, that would be the place to start.Reuse content

Thank you for this idea...Goin to try this!
Hello Grant,Just made it... I quilled a lovely piece of thin paper and it looks really cool, but works even better! I used a rubber band instead since it would work better for me.Thank you again.
