Wedding Site Designs – creative, stress free wedding planning
After 40 years in decline, the trend for marriage is up and so is the desire to shout it from the rooftops, desktops and mobiles.
We've taken a look at 11 wedding websites and brought some inspiration which will save you time, money and effort. Here are some easy build personal websites, it's simpler than you think, take a peek!
Marisa and Tyler
What a brilliant pic to set the scene, makes you want to be part of the big day as they look like such a fun couple. Have a look around their site, it tells a lovely story, including the initial proposal.
We liked – the clutter free design and the card layout for the photo's.
We'd suggest – a guest book section and definitely a space for a few pics of the day.
Alex and Tyler
These guys partnered up with a travel site which seems a fairly smart move.
The plans are firmly centred around the accomodation and getting there, with enough info to allow guests some 'savings goals'.
We liked – The info on the accommodation and knowing roughly what it will cost us to attend this event.
We'd suggest – more pics of the bride and groom to be, this is their big day but the page is hijacked by the travel company.
Matt & Rachel
Now this couple show bags of enthusiasm, Matt we are so glad that Rachel can be there too! The choice of photo's is excellent, there's considerable effort gone into this page.
We liked – the story of how they met, and how much personality comes across in each section. Matrimonial Pursuit is a great touch too guys.
We'd suggest – put the individual pics onto the 'Our Story' page, and the carousel on the Home page as it is easier for the visitor to follow on first visit to the site. We also suggest they work on improving their website performance as it was a bit laggy. I'm sure they can learn more here about how to improve their WordPress sites performance using a VPS.
James & Lauren
James and Lauren have chosen the perfect destination, I bet the guests cannot wait to get Christmas over and done with and be on their way!
The couple have made every effort to include all necessary info, along with maps and pics of the resort.
We liked – the info on Fiji, and the alternative accommodation list with the maps.
We'd suggest – a better quality photograph on the home page, and maybe it's time to update that itinerary.
Emily & Jonathan
Oh guys, this is a great page, you tell such a wonderful story and there are lots of little details there that guests were able to look up.
We liked – the main photo and also thought the RSVP section to be a very useful addition, not something we saw on many other sites.
We'd suggest – mix it up a bit with the text and the pics, it's a great read but it would be further enhanced if not too text heavy.
Jamie & Steven
Such a simple layout but elegant and beautiful, the pics appear carefully chosen and blend so well with the overall color palette and design.
We liked – the effort that went into the site once the big day was over, don't you just love a happy ending to a perfect day.
We'd suggest – add a page for your anniversaries, this would make a lovely online diary for your children/grandchildren.
Scott & Audrey
There is a really nice flow to this story, how the couple met, the proposal, and wonderful pics which include family and friends.
We liked the Alice Through the Looking Glass references which add a little extra sparkle to the romantic day.
We'd suggest – a different hero (main image) unless these woodland trees have some very personal meaning, sorry guys, as it's a little creepy.
Nathan & Brighton
Aaawww this is just gorgeous, the lady is smitten, and if you enter the site it's easy to see that the gentleman is too.
We liked – the back story on the wedding party, it's a wonderful touch which we're sure would make conversation on the day with people who have never met before.
We'd suggest – a section on the big day, perhaps some pics too.
Nick & Lauren
We picked this site for it's detail, and also the romantic pic of the Eiffel Tower! There are some very well thought out sections, and a whole pile of info to guide the guests to the event and through the days…yes folks this one is a two day event!
We liked – the level of detail covered in the site overall, your pics are fabulous, and the dropbox link for pics of the day is an awesome touch.
We'd suggest – a different or larger font as there is a lot of text and it's not that easy on the eye. Took us a while to figure that Michel wasn't actually marrying anyone.
Katy & Sheri
Beautiful choice of main image, pretty and romantic and sets the expectations for the event.
We liked – The fun questions on the guest page and the Indie Events too, looks like a great weekend with something for everyone.
We'd suggest – maybe just one pic of the happy couple on the day, or even revisit the site on your first anniversary.
Tyler & Elizabeth
We saved the best to last, and what makes this truly awesome is the perspective from both the bride and groom to be. There are wonderful pics, included here is the family pet, Higgins, what a great name for a dog.
We liked – the extra touches such as the link to the Snapchat filter. The Registry is also very humble and acknowledged the distance the guests have to travel just to be there.
So when you get your proposal of a happy life together forever, start planning online, share it with your family and friends and be thoughtful and creative, you just never know you may pop up on an 'awesome' list too!

Property Description:
This is a chance to purchase a very substantial, part furnished, detached villa, which sits on a fully enclosed plot of some 3,200m2 looking out towards Xativa and the mountains with the magnificent Castle on top, which at night when it is illuminated looks like an erupting volcano.
The villa has been owned by the present people for some eleven years and in that time they have created two lovely self contained accommodations, the ground floor having three double bedrooms, a large "American" style lounge, modern kitchen and dining area, all of which has double glazed windows and gas fired central heating. In addition, there is the potential to create a fourth bedroom or granny annexe with further accommodation which is yet to be converted.
Currently, the villa is let and the tenant is paying £650 per calendar month for the whole property. If a potential buyer was looking for an investment property, the two units could be let individually achieving between £450 – £500 per month.
On the first floor there is a lounge, modern fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and two further large single bedrooms, and a large covered balcony which takes in the far reaching views. In addition, there is a very large room, which is currently used as an office, which could provide a further two bedrooms.
The highlight of this property is the recently refurbished 6m x 11m swimming pool which sits to the side of the villa in a superb pool area, which has ample places for sun beds. There is also a patio area and bar.
As we have said, the grounds to the property are fully fenced and there are two gated accesses to the plot. One leads to a paddock area and the other leads to a large parking area for eight plus cars and there is also a garage easily housing two vehicles. Within the garden there are four workshops, three dog kennels and adjoining the villa, on the ground floor, is a laundry room.
The property has an alarm, satellite TV, electric, water and internet and in our opinion represents good value for money and a wealth of potential to create a small business or large family home.
The villa sits alongside the motorway, allowing easy access to the cities of Valencia and Alicante, which both offer flights to the UK and Europe. Located on the outskirts of the village of Rotgla, which has a variety of shops and bars. The main town of Xativa is both beautiful and functional, offering everything needed for everyday life. On the outskirts of Xativa is a shopping mall called Plaza Mayor, which houses the main shopping chains, a supermarket, cinema and quality restaurant.

We keep enjoying the baleen whale season! We started the morning tour heading West, it took us time to find the first animals but we managed to see a nice group of common dolphins. Not far away from the common dolphins there was another group of dolphins from another species: bottlenose dolphins!
After the dolphins we had great news from our lookout... A fin whale!
The fin whale we found in the morning was feeding, a behaviour that we see really often in the Azores during the spring time. This is the perfect place for them to rest and to "recharge their batteries" before they arrive to their summer feeding grounds.
The clients from the afternoon tour could enjoy with the same species than the morning tour...first a small group of bottlenose dolphins (the familiar group we refer to as "Bubblemaker's group" and then another fin whale (a different individual to the one from the morning) further to the West, where we had beautiful views of the West coast of São Miguel Island. What a day!
Photos from the morning:
Fin whale from our client Lars Olsen
Fin whale surfacing (note the white colour from the lower jaw)

In 2016, the South Carolina Gamecocks were one of the more anticipated teams in the SEC football conference. While the team looked like they would be able to build on the success that they had in the prior year, the ended up going three and five in the SEC and six and seven overall. While it was not a great overall season, the South Carolina Gamecocks did have some successes including a few upset wins. This year, the South Carolina Gamecocks have several reasons to be optimistic about their chances of competing in the tough conference (https://www.seccountry.com/south-carolina/south-carolina-football-preview-senior-d-tackles-critical-2017).
One of the main reasons why the Gamecocks are considered a strong team in the upcoming year is due to the strength of their defensive line. The team currently has one of the best duos of defensive tackles in the country. Both Ulric Jones and Taylor Stallworth were among the most productive defensive tackles in the prior year and are expected to be even better in the upcoming season. This should be a huge advantage in the SEC, particularly when they are playing teams that like to run the ball.
Along with the two returning starters, the Gamecocks have a lot of young talent to join on the defensive line. M.J. Webb is one of the most highly anticipated players on the team. As a 4-star freshman recruit, Webb will likely get the chance to start by the middle of the year. During the spring game earlier in the year, Webb showed the ability to rush the pass from the outside. However, he still has not shown to have the ability to consistently defend the run, particularly when he will have to be up against some of the top offensive tackles in the country. The team also has depth in returning contributors Dante Sawyer and Aaron Thompson

Conifers of California
Price: $24.95
Code: B_COC
Weight: 2.08 ounces
Conifers of California
Conifers of California
by Ronald M. Lanner
Whether you are a gardener, a hiker in the forest, an environmentalist or a botanist, you will find much to love about a new book from Cachuma Press, "Conifers of California" by Ronald M. Lanner.
Each species receives its own few pages, accompanied by exquisite photographs of the tree in its native habitat and detailed and beautiful watercolor illustrations by Eugene O. Murman of the cones, needles and seeds. Lanner writes clearly and evocatively. One feels he is intimately acquainted with each species, and he draws the reader in with some great openings: "Imagine Thomas Coulter's self-satisfaction, perhaps bordering on gloating, as he stood on a steep, grassy slope in the Santa Lucia range one fine day late in 1831." (Pinus coulteri) "A century ago Charles Sprague Sargent summarized the two basic requirements for healthy western hemlock: moist air and rotten wood." (Tsuga heterophylla)
We learn about cones, fire adaptability, wood, controversies of classification, stories of discovery and implications of names. For each species Lanner provides sections on identification (at a distance, standing beneath it, and in the hand), habitat and distribution (including a distribution map). Knowing that Pseudotsuga macrocarpa (Bigcone-Spruce) is joined by canyon live oak nearly everywhere it grows might entice you to plant one. Reading the chapter on Pinus radiata (Monterey Pine) might stimulate your thinking about the importance of genetic diversity. There is something to learn on every page. Appendices provide an extensive bibliography, a key and a chart comparing needle and cone characteristics.
Softcover, $24.95.

Nudity is just not my thing, says the Pretty WomanDecember 4th, 2007 - 1:06 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Dec 4 (ANI): Her new movie Charlie Wilsons War may be the last time Julia Roberts fans get to see her nude on-screen.
The mum-of-three admits to E!s The Daily 10 that its highly unlikely that she will be stripping off for the cameras once again.
The reason, she insists, is that nudity is not her thing.
"Listen, there's a reason why you don't see me naked me in movies, you don't see me running around in bathing suits in movies. It's just not my thing," usmagazine.com quoted her, as saying.
Roberts, who famously used a body double to shoot nude scenes in the movie that catapulted her to stardom Pretty Woman, now joins the ranks of actor Brad Pitt, who recently stated that he would not be dropping his clothes ever again.
Roberts new movie hits the big screen in the US on December 21.
Starring with her in the movie are fellow Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The pic is about Democratic Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson, who conspired with a rogue CIA operative named Gust Avrakotos to launch an operation to help the Afghan Mujahideen during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
It is based on a 2003 book of the same title by George Crile.
The film is directed by Mike Nichols, is written by Aaron Sorkin. (ANI)

Singing star Rihanna may have had a rhinoplasty to slim the appearance of her nose, according to experts. Gossip site Media Takeout reports that nine cosmetic surgeons were shown two different pictures of the 22-year-old star, who sang such hits as Rude Boy, and all agreed that she had most likely had a nose job at some point in her career. "The nostrils were made smaller and the bridge was built up a little," said Dr Michael Fiorillo. "She had work done on the tip too." While Rihanna has not confirmed whether she had a nose job, the singer has previously voiced her support for cosmetic treatments, saying she would consider breast surgery in particular "if [her] breasts started to drop." This could mean that treatments such as breast augmentation or a breast lift haven't been ruled out by the popular singer. However, such treatments may be a long way off, as Rihanna also stated that she did not plan to have any plastic surgery procedures "for the next 20-25 years" - though tongues have long been wagging that she may have already had a nose job and skin-lightening procedures. The Grammy Award winning singer held the joint honour of the most number one singles of the last decade, alongside fellow cosmetic surgery fans Mariah Carey and Beyonce. Rihanna is currently working on her fifth album, which is scheduled to be released later this year.

I was using Ubuntu 11.10 with KDE desktop for few months. Recently, I decided to go with pure KDE, so I run the script suggested in Psychocats. Now I am having Kubuntu 11.10. During the process, I lost few software useful to me, and I was not aware that it includes the scanning application I was using untill today. Today when I was trying to scan few documents, I found there is no default application for scanning documents. I searched the net for an application, specifically for KDE.

Today, after a crash, I suddenly found all fonts are looking ugly. I had similar experience earlier, but that was with Fedora with Gnome desktop. There, I was unable to solve the problem properly. I got some workaround and compromised with the semi-ugly looking fonts until the further release of Fedora. Here, I won't want to carry the same pain for next few months. So, I search vigorously to get some solid solution but fail to do. Finally, in a forum discussion, I got a comment, which lead me to the solution. complete article
In my previous post I had described the different desktop options with different Linux distributions. The readers surely got a clue about the desktop I might be using.

Friends, this is the first post of the series of post on "moving to Linux from Windows". I was a Windows user since early 2002; Windows 98, Millennium then XP and finally 7, it was more than 10 years. My first encounter with Linux was during my masters. I had to use a simulator for my project, which recommended Linux host. It was in 2008-09, first time I used Linux for working rather for visiting for demo. However, I used it within vmware and as per my best knowledge, it was Fedora Core 10 or 8 maybe. Last year, when I joined ISI, I was given a server account with Sun Solaris. Then I decided to switch my lab system to fedora and installed Fedora core 13. After few days, I liked it. I liked it a lot. Linux has come a long way, and it is now competing with Windows for desktop PCs. My regular follower knows that recently I bring home a laptop. And I decided for Linux. In this post, I will talk about few distribution and desktop, I am familiar with, or I tried for my laptop. complete article

Fort Worth risks losing Van Cliburn
November 6, 2016 by norman lebrecht
Amid ever-more hostile statements from Amy Adkins, CEO of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, the clock is ticking on an embattled organisation where there seems to be no plan B.
The musicians went on strike in September after refusing to accept pay cuts. The board has cancelled all concerts for the rest of 2016 and has slammed the door on further talks until the musicians return on their knees.
That's where things stand.
Now, look a little further ahead.
In May 2017, the Fort Worth SO is supposed to be playing for semi-final and final contestants in the Van Cliburn Competition, founded by the city's most famous musician.
Supposed to.
If guarantees cannot be given by January, the Cliburn will (we hear) have to look elsewhere for an orchestra.
It won't lack for offers. And the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra will have lost the jewel in its crown.

What a damn shame. As a native Texan I always looked for the Van Cliburn tapes and CDs for listening and studying. Ft. Worth used to be a small town that was just plain lucky to have a great orchestra. The city weathered thick and thin and came out the other end booming on the economic front, population front, and the artistic front. This city has EARNED a great orchestra. Now a new leadership wants to just throw it away. What a damn shame.
Management would welcome that. It would be one less thing they'd have to pay the musicians for. (I don't know if the competition provides the funding to pay the musicians, but even if they do, it burns management's heart to pay musicians, regardless of whose money they use.)
Of course the competition hires and pays for the orchestra and the concert hall.
It's time for Amy Adkins to go. She is ruining the FWSO. It's time for new, innovative management.
Yes time for this poor leader to be replaced. How dare she risk losing the Van Cliburn competition. The woman is pathetic and should be replaced by the board.
One would think that Amy Adkins would be a little more flexible. After all, right next door is the Dallas Symphony. The competition would only have to move things around a bit, to accommodate the Cliburn. After all, Dallas also has SMU — which has at least one smaller hall and one quite large one — and no shortage of hotels. I'm pretty sure SMU would be amenable to hosting a good amount of the activities. The competition would not even have to change airports.
The DSO's regular season goes through June 3, 2017, and it typically does its parks concerts just afterwards. I doubt the DSO would be available to accompany the Cliburn semifinalists and finalists, whose schedule would conflict with the end of the DSO's season and its Soluna Festival. Perhaps the Meadows symphony at SMU? But the Meyerson is not available, and neither is the Winspear, so you would have a venue problem if you tried to move it to Dallas. I don't think they would want to do it at McFarlin.
(And then the DSO has its late June residency in Vail.)
Amy Adkins has not done her job and should be FIRED. She is responsible for fundraising and has done a miserable job of it. This orchestra has done nothing but take Pay cuts. What happened to establishing an endowment that all of a sudden she now talks about. Where was that 3 years ago or 6 years ago. The Fory Worth Symphony Orchestra Boatd needs to wake up and find a competant person to handle the job instead of this all talk and NO action Amy Adkins!!!
Ft Worth has evidently learned nothing from the fiasco with the Dallas Cowboys. She'll eventually be gone, but so will the Van Cliburn.
Time to stop blaming the messenger and focus on the real culprit here- the Board of Directors. The CEO may deserve a barbed -wire enema but she is just a front for the worthless pieces of @%!#& that are ultimately responsible for the well being of the FWSO.
The FWSO was suposed to play for about a half dozen Texas Ballet Theater performances last month in both Dallas and Fort Worth soon after the musicians went on strike. So what happened? TBT just hired them as freelancers, playing under another name, like "Musicians of the FW Symphony." I don't see what would preclude the Cliburn from doing the same thing and having 60 striking FWSO members playing as "Symphonic Musicians of the Cliburn" or the "Cliburn Competition Orchestra."
Good information and proposal. Let's hope the musicians can stay together until this is resolved.
CEO's are puppets – the board runs everything.
I find it can be a combination. Many nonprofit boards are just yes-people and yes-donors and they approve everything the CEO does without even investigating or understanding. The board at my husband's employer let a former CEO spend money willynilly on terrible ideas and massive layoffs followed. Boards only work if they understand their oversight function and exercise it. At FWSO there seems to be plenty of blame to go around.
Rumors of Cliburn move from Fort Worth entirely false
The Van Cliburn International Piano Competition began in Fort Worth in 1962 and has since become one of the most prominent, high-profile music competitions on the planet, while keeping its roots very firmly in its hometown.
Its originators were a group of dedicated Fort Worth volunteers, and, though the organization is now run by a fulltime staff, the backbone of the competition is still the network of over 1,200 volunteers—primarily from Fort Worth—who give of their time, talents, and resources quadrennially and also in the interim years. They serve in vital roles to produce the competition, as well as to infuse it with the signature Texas warmth and hospitality that set the Cliburn apart amongst its peers worldwide.
The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra has performed in every Cliburn Competition since its inception as an invaluable artistic collaborator to our young pianists. With the fifteenth edition of the Competition around the corner in May and June of 2017, the Cliburn holds the hope that the FWSO will be able to resolve the current situation, that the strike will end, and that our new competitors will have the opportunity to perform with our symphony as their predecessors have before them.
Should that not happen, the Cliburn will find a solution; but—importantly—that solution will absolutely not involve moving the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition away from Fort Worth, in 2017 or at any point in the future. To report anything that suggests otherwise is simply untrue and has no basis in reality.
The Cliburn Competition will take place at Bass Performance Hall May 25 to June 10, 2017, and we look forward to seeing you all there.
disappointed in this years lack of quality and respect to the artists themselves. The CEO is completely incompetent and superficial. IRS is gonna be all over her soon.
And why were the "1200" volunteers not given more recognition??
I knew The Cliburn would not leave FW! I wonder who started this rumor?
Well. You *did* title the article "Fort Worth risks losing Van Cliburn". It's not hard to see how one might infer you suggested Fort Worth — the city — risks losing the Van Cliburn Competition.

Hi Alisha, thanks for you comment! I don't actually buy from Mac as they do test on animals. :) But it is a lovely shade, not gonna lie! ahah xReplyDelete
Love this! I think it's great you do solely cruelty free. I have so much MAC but I've been trying to destash and thinking about switching to more cruelty free once that happens! But your video is awesome. IDK if it's because you have like big perfect lips but they almost remind me of Grav3yardgirl's (or maybe it's the blue eyes?)ReplyDelete
Hiya hun!Delete
I still have some Mac all time favourites left (Like Heroine) and I'm actually trying to find good alternatives in the cruelty free world. It takes time and patience for sure.
Thanks for the comment, Bunny is an absolute legend! I'm sure these colours will look great on any shape of lips. Just rock it with confidence! ;)

After several years of slower-than-expected growth, the smart buildings technology market is expected to grow rapidly as the market becomes more aware of the business value generated by deploying smart building solutions, according to a new study from IDC Energy Insights. One of the challenges emerging: how to manage all the data that's being gathered by these systems.
Smart building technologies have matured to enable facility optimization through the convergence of IT and building automation, according to the report, "Global Smart Buildings Forecast 2013-2018." Building owners and key decision-makers are increasingly aware of the business value of these solutions. But adoption of the technologies has been slow due to changes in business processes required for deployment and utilization, IDC Energy says.
The report projects the market for smart building technology to grow from $6.3 billion in 2013 to $21.9 billion in 2017. Adoption rates are expected to vary by region, with the most aggressive adoption in North America, Western Europe and Asia/Pacific over the next five years.
With many basic control and monitoring systems in place, the report says, a need is developing for intelligent software and external services to help analyze, interpret and prioritize the data that's being collected.
"As businesses recover following the 'great recession,' building owners continue to focus on managing their operational energy costs and risks," Jill Feblowitz, vice president, IDC Energy Insights, said in a statement. "Often, gathering building data is not the issue, rather combining, interpreting and prioritizing that data is becoming the key challenge."

I absolutely adore this dress and think the photos do not do it justice. The colour is amazing, it gets so many compliments every time I wear it (and lots of you made that? No way!) It fits like a glove without any of the adjustments I have since made to the pattern and generally makes me feel epic. It's one of those fabrics that I most likely wouldn't have bought from a little photo online but seeing it in the flesh won me over. I picked it up at a local quilting shop, The Quilters Den in Warwick is ace if you are local. I get my nails done just down the road every three weeks and now take the opportunity to pop in and check out their fabrics, it is a treat I really look forward to and have to restrain myself to just two lots of fabrics each time! Just in case you need me to say again the pattern is the Emery by Christine Haynes. Go buy it, you won't regret it!!

Hang on a minute… Normally I'd be laughing with glee about environmentalists being made to look foolish, but this sounds like government bullying to me.
Reva, the Indian company which makes the G-Wiz, did not have to carry out the crash tests which are compulsory for cars because its vehicle is technically defined as a quadricycle.
So it *does* pass the required safety regulations—just not the same ones as a car has to because, according to the regulations, it's *not a car*.
But according to the Transport Minister, the regulations were not designed for "city runabouts that resemble small cars". Suddenly it's important what it *looks* like?
And now it "may be banned"?
As long as the seller is not being deceptive, why should there be a problem? Why can't the DoT just issue a press release and leave consumers to make up their own minds? Why should the small Indian company suffer because politicians can't decide where the goalposts are?
No, Rob, I haven't abandoned libertarianism. Of course, people should be able to buy any car they like even if it is a death trap. Hell, I don't even think the government has any job carrying out safety tests in the first place.
It's just amusing to see different sides of the safety crowd (for that is what environmentalism is) having a go at one another.

Since the first of August, Emirates Airlines Flight closes Kiev - Dubai, this flight was carried out every day from 16 January 2014.
The airline representative explains this decision, so that demand has decreased due to the political instability in the country and the aircraft began to fly half-empty.
Passengers who have already bought tickets for flights after the first of August 2014, the carrier promises to carry those passengers alternative airline - likely flydubai.
Starting from the month of May, the airline Emirates has reduced the frequency of flights on the route Kiev - Dubai from 7 to 4 per week. And in March this route closed airline Wizz Air Ukraine.

IT was a sad affair as The Wanted took to the stage in Scotland for what might be the last time ever.
Having watched the lads progress from the days of playing Hamilton Racecourse to filling arenas around the world it was always going to be emotional.
It looked too, like the boys were wearing their hearts on their tattooed sleeves as they took over the stage at The Hydro to perform their biggest hits to date.
Mixing their songs with a video montage of their best bits through their career was a winning idea.
The lads talked about their first time on X Factor, playing in the US, appearing in The Ellen Show, playing the Summertime Ball and meeting people like Rihanna on Wanted Wednesdays.
During the first half of their show they performed rockier songs like Demons and Warzone which were a tad lacklustre.
In all honesty it seemed like the boys had lost their sense of humour but then something different happened after they performed Show Me Love.
As if in response to their adoring crowd, the lads suddenly came to life.
Serious expressions gave way to the silly old antics that made them so popular in the first place.
Heart Vacancy went down a storm as the boys upped the ante but Walk
Like Rihanna was the track that got everyone smiling and arms in the air.
As Max and Jay, Nathan, Siva and Tom toyed around with one another they sprung into life.
Chasing the Sun and We Own The Night led way to other belters like All Time Low.
But of course the best note to end on was Glad you came and as a tearful Tom waved goodbye in the end, we were.

Cedar Cove Resort has been providing family oriented seasonal camping since 1978. Over the years the park has grown from fifty trailer sites, five cottages, thirty dock slips, a small marina and store to almost 80 acres and 3500 feet of waterfront.
The resort now offers 276 seasonal campsites, 24 short term campsites, 8 seasonal rental cottages, 4 seasonal rental RV's, 131 dock slips, and a brand new lodge (rebuilt in 2011 as a result of a fire) that houses the Store and The Lakeside Grill.
The marina has been converted into Adam's Outfitting, run by Adam Pugh.
In 2006 the Pugh family purchased the resort. With backgrounds in retail, construction, and family run hotels and motels; Cedar Cove has been a perfect venue for Wes and Carol to apply their skills and knowledge from their previous endeavors.
In 2011, Cedar Cove Resort had a fire, which sadly condemned the old lodge, restaurant, and games room called "Geordie's".
During that summer the reception and store were run out of Cottage #5 (can you believe it?!). After the summer they tore down the old building and started to build the new one! After a long process the grand reopening was in June 2012!
The new lodge is amazing and continues to receive many compliments!
Cedar Cove continues to cater to family camping.
Offering extensive recreation programs for both children and adults, you can swim at our beautiful beach, or swim in our lake view heated pool. There is access to tremendous fishing consisting of Walleye, Bass and Pike, just to name a few.
If you're not around in the Summer we also cater to snowmobiler's during the Winter months.
Our cottages are closed but the Lakeside Bar and Grill is open Friday-Sunday each weekend from January-May.
Whether you are a returning guest or here for the first time, our goal is to provide the very best experience for you and your entire family.

Tracks on my segment Song of the Week are not merely featured just because. I found them fitting for the state of my mind (or life, actually) in that moment and has empathized or uplifted me in some way. Yes, it is some sort of like an OST, the soundtrack of my life.
I haven't posted under this segment last Sunday (I've personally chosen this to be the #SOTW day) because like what I've said, the tracks featured has to have a meaning, and on that day there was none that moved me. I didn't want to force myself to "fake feature" for the sake of it because I'd like to preserve and didn't want to defeat the purpose of the segment.
It's a bit odd that I am posting something "regular" on a Good Friday (and I am feeling guilty — I've been defining sacrifice in my head the past few days and it's something that should somehow make me feel uncomfortable or one that's hard for me to do) but I realized that it's a moment to reflect and every time I do #SOTW, I reflect too.
The past few days have been quite significant in a way that the events almost lead to a turning point I've been dying to happen. Almost. Maybe the band is still elastic, maybe there is still something to be stretched. Maybe the time has not come yet, maybe the place is not yet ready. Maybe home is still where I wished it would be, and there's definitely no place like it.
My Song of the Week is Kid Astray's No Easy Way Out — because there's really no easy way out. I kept on nodding while listening to it, as the dudes have accurately described and said the words I desperately need to hear at the moment. Kisses, you guys.
Plus it's catchy as hell.
About the Artist
Kid Astray is a six-member indie-pop band originating from Oslo, Norway. They started out playing covers at small events in Oslo suburbs. In 2012, they recorded their first single "The Mess" at the Benjamin Giørtz' Studio. It became Track of the Week which paved way to their numerous gigs and festival performances. Kid Astray has recorded their self-produced EP which was released on the American indie label Mom+Pop. (Source)

Tehran shuts schools and agencies amid smog
Schools, universities and government agencies in Tehran will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday due to pollution, the province's governor Morteza Tamadon said on state television.
"To avoid reaching distress levels, an order was given to shut down ministries, institutes, universities and schools across Tehran province except for the towns of Damavand and Firouzkooh" in the north, said Tamadon.
"Banks will not be closed. We urge people to cut down on unnecessary city travel," he told residents of the province who are officially said to number 12 million.
Air pollution has reached a critical level in the past few days due to trapped smog in the Iranian capital, as well as several other major cities, including Isfahan and Arak.
Each year around this time, the pollution forces the closure of schools and government institutes for several days.
Principle air pollutants in Tehran are fumes from Iranian-made vehicles which on average consume more fuel than in other countries with a generally lower quality gasoline.

By Burnley FC
August 23 2017
Jack Cork and Robbie Brady got the goals as the Clarets eased past derby rivals Blackburn to book their place in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Burnley have been on the wrong end of a run of cup upsets in recent seasons as their focus as often been elsewhere.
But there was no chance of a shock against League One Rovers as Sean Dyche's side showed their Premier League pedigree to send over 5,000 travelling fans home happy along the M65.
Cork was arguably the star of the show in a peerless midfield performance which also brought him his first goal since his return to Turf Moor in the summer.
And Brady then further reinforced his place in the affection of the Clarets' fans with a high-class second goal just before the break that all but booked Burnley's place in the last 32 as Dyche successfully showed his squad strength.
The Clarets made eight changes to their starting line-up as they looked for a first win in the competition since 2013.
That meant debuts for full-backs Phil Bardsley and Charlie Taylor and a first start for former Blackburn youngster Jon Walters.
It momentarily looked like an unhappy return for Walters as he needed lengthy treatment for an ankle injury in the opening minutes before getting the all-clear to carry on.

One of the coolest things about Postgres functions is that they can return rows as if they were a table. Not only is it possible, but creating a set-returning function in Postgres is almost frighteningly trivial when compared to other database engines. In fact, some Oracle users are probably rolling their eyes and muttering "Just use a cursor!" already. Just hear us out!
Postgres functions can return cursors too, but using them afterwards isn't exactly a friendly experience. Cursors are passed by reference, so the function must either accept a parameter to name the cursor, or it generates something wacky like "<unnamed portal 1>". After that, cursors can only be used with
FETCH instead of
SELECT, greatly limiting their utility.
What about views, then? Obviously they can return rows like a table, so why not just write everything as a query and turn it into a view? It's true that practically any function can be emulated with a sufficiently advanced query. This is especially true since Postgres 9 added CTEs, allowing it to generate step-by-step transformations. Some use cases aren't well covered by that approach, however.
Stop, Wait a Minute
Consider the Fibonacci Sequence. Here's a function that iteratively generates the whole sequence up to the Nth value:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fibonacci(nLoops INT) RETURNS SETOF NUMERIC AS $$ DECLARE i INT; x NUMERIC := 0; y NUMERIC := 1; z NUMERIC := 1; BEGIN FOR i IN 1..nLoops LOOP RETURN NEXT x; x = y; y = z; z = x + y; END LOOP; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; SELECT MAX(fibonacci) FROM fibonacci(100); MAX ----------------------- 218922995834555169026
Amusingly enough, this particular function works until the
NUMERIC datatype itself is exhausted, provided sufficient hardware. Our test VM was able to survive until the 400,000th result before subsequent attempts exhausted our meager 8GB of temporary disk space. We'd print it here, but sadly a number with 83,595 digits won't fit in the article.
Take a Sip, Sign a Check
Now consider if we had implemented this as a CTE instead. That by itself isn't difficult, we just need to rewrite things a bit:
WITH RECURSIVE fib(i, a, b) AS ( SELECT 1, 0::NUMERIC, 1::NUMERIC UNION ALL SELECT i + 1, b, a + b FROM fib WHERE i <= 100 ) SELECT MAX(a) FROM fib;
But how can this be turned into a general-purpose view? We would have to raise the limit of the recursive portion of the CTE to some comfortable (or uncomfortable) upper bound so the caller could limit the results with either a
LIMIT or
WHERE clause.
This has two problems. The first is that the maximum is arbitrary and may not correspond with desired use patterns. The second is that CTEs produce all results before filters are applied, meaning a lot of wasted effort. CTEs don't really work well in views since the inner components can't be tweaked for specific conditions, yet without them, SQL is stateless. There's also the matter of exception handling. So any time we need a state machine that returns rows, functions are really our only answer.
Don't Brag About it, Come Show Me
The primary limitation to Postgres functions is that the return type must exist before the function is declared. There are currently three ways to do this. Let's go back to our trusty
sensor_log table:
CREATE TABLE sensor_log ( sensor_log_id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, location VARCHAR NOT NULL, reading BIGINT NOT NULL, reading_date TIMESTAMP NOT NULL ); INSERT INTO sensor_log (location, reading, reading_date) SELECT s.id % 1000, round(random() * 100), CURRENT_DATE + INTERVAL '1d' - ((s.id * 10)::TEXT || 's')::INTERVAL FROM generate_series(1, 10000000) s(id); CREATE INDEX idx_sensor_log_location ON sensor_log (location); CREATE INDEX idx_sensor_log_date ON sensor_log (reading_date);
As usual, the table consists of 10-million rows, spread across 1000 locations with 100 possible reading values. In Postgres, every table also exists as a type which represents the table structure. We can see this by executing a completely non-recommended bit of SQL:
DROP TYPE sensor_log; ERROR: cannot DROP TYPE sensor_log because TABLE sensor_log requires it HINT: You can DROP TABLE sensor_log instead.
Given the type already exists, we can write a function which returns rows that masquerade as the
sensor_log table. Here's a very basic function that merely grabs the top ten readings for a particular location:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sensor_location_top_ten(nLocation VARCHAR) RETURNS SETOF sensor_log AS $$ DECLARE rReturn sensor_log; BEGIN FOR rReturn IN SELECT * FROM sensor_log WHERE location = nLocation ORDER BY reading DESC LIMIT 10 LOOP RETURN NEXT rReturn; END LOOP; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; SELECT * FROM sensor_location_top_ten('15'); sensor_log_id | location | reading | reading_date ---------------+----------+---------+--------------------- 1068015 | 15 | 100 | 2017-02-22 09:17:30 1255015 | 15 | 100 | 2017-01-31 17:50:50 497015 | 15 | 100 | 2017-04-29 11:24:10 894015 | 15 | 100 | 2017-03-14 12:37:30 248015 | 15 | 100 | 2017-05-28 07:04:10 1092015 | 15 | 100 | 2017-02-19 14:37:30 183015 | 15 | 100 | 2017-06-04 19:37:30 35015 | 15 | 100 | 2017-06-21 22:44:10 2245015 | 15 | 100 | 2016-10-09 03:50:50 1767015 | 15 | 100 | 2016-12-03 11:37:30 (10 ROWS)
Break it Down
But what if we want to permanently remove the location column from the results? We can't do that because there's no type with that definition. Of course, we can make one and then use it instead:
CREATE TYPE sensor_log_noloc AS ( sensor_log_id INT, reading BIGINT, reading_date TIMESTAMP ); CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sensor_location_top_ten(nLocation VARCHAR) RETURNS SETOF sensor_log_noloc AS $$ DECLARE rReturn sensor_log_noloc; BEGIN FOR rReturn IN SELECT sensor_log_id, reading, reading_date FROM sensor_log WHERE location = nLocation ORDER BY reading DESC LIMIT 10 LOOP RETURN NEXT rReturn; END LOOP; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
Julio, Get the Stretch
Alternatively, Postgres functions can define specific
OUT variables. Declared in order, we can use them as a virtual row-set. The major caveat here is that parameter names must not conflict with table column names due to ambiguity concerns. This means we should either rename our parameters, or be particularly meticulous when using table column aliases.
Here's how the function would look if we took the latter approach:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sensor_location_top_ten( nLocation VARCHAR, sensor_log_id OUT INT, reading OUT BIGINT, reading_date OUT TIMESTAMP ) RETURNS SETOF RECORD AS $$ BEGIN FOR sensor_log_id, reading, reading_date IN SELECT s.sensor_log_id, s.reading, s.reading_date FROM sensor_log s WHERE s.location = nLocation ORDER BY s.reading DESC LIMIT 10 LOOP RETURN NEXT; END LOOP; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
It's a bit more work up front, but it removes the necessity of creating a corresponding type for every function that returns row sets.
Saturday Night, and We in the Spot
Of course, saving the best for last is a pretty classic move, and we're suckers for tradition. Beginning in Postgres 8.4, functions gained one final syntax that did two things that effectively deprecated the previous two approaches. First, we no longer have to declare the type before the function. Second, we can avoid polluting our argument list with return values.
Here's how it looks:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sensor_location_top_ten(nLocation VARCHAR) RETURNS TABLE( sensor_log_id INT, reading BIGINT, reading_date TIMESTAMP ) AS $$ BEGIN FOR sensor_log_id, reading, reading_date IN SELECT s.sensor_log_id, s.reading, s.reading_date FROM sensor_log s WHERE s.location = nLocation ORDER BY s.reading DESC LIMIT 10 LOOP RETURN NEXT; END LOOP; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
What's interesting about this approach is that it's otherwise identical to using
OUT parameters. The principal differences are the previously mentioned reduction in parameter clutter, and that a table-returning function implicitly returns a set of records. In essence, it's basically just
OUT-parameter shorthand someone hacked into the Postgres engine.
Don't Believe Me, Just Watch
Postgres functions have a plethora of such conveniences, and like most maturing platforms, it accumulates more with every passing generation. Since Postgres 10 is shaping up to be a rather comprehensive amalgam of varied enhancements, it's exciting to see how functions might evolve. Even if they remain static until some mysterious future version, there's still a lot more for us to explore.
And we most definitely will.

As we approach spring I am taking pause to reflect on 2012 so far. Personally, 2011 flew by faster than any other year in my life. During these first few months of 2012 I have been focusing on grounding and finding balance. It has been a practice. The more I grasp for balance the less balance I achieve. It's only when I take a pause, stop striving, that things align.
I recently reread Wayne Dyer's book, "Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life." In this book Wayne Dyer reads and discusses each verse of the Tao Te Ching and relates Lao Tzu's ancient words to modern-day applications. The Tao is often described as being fluid like water, both formed and formless. Just like time itself water is continuously moving, evolving, changing. Each of us too can embrace this idea and be like water. In order to let the true of expression of ourselves shine through we need to let go. By letting go our truth is revealed.
Here is a passage from Dr. Wayne Dyer's book:
"The Tao asks you to clearly see the parallels between you and this naturally flowing substance that allows life to sustain itself. Live as water lives, since you are water. Become as contented as the fluid that animates and supports you. Let your thoughts and behaviors move smoothly in accordance with the nature of all things."
Here's an exercise to practice doing the Tao now:
"Drink water silently today, while reminding yourself with each sip to nourish others in the same life-flourishing way that streams give to the animals and rain delivers to the plants. Note how many places water is there for you—serving you by flowing naturally. Say a prayer of gratitude for this life-sustaining, always-flowing substance."

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Life events
Although certain life events are to be expected, they do often have an impact on young people's emotional wellbeing. These events can be difficult for a young person to understand and come to terms with. If people around the young person respond with care and thoughtfulness, this can help the young person adjust to and make sense of the situation.

- eVisa
- Secure ETA
With the doubling of international travel volumes, border control policy makers are seeking out better ways to facilitate and optimize their clearing process of all low risk visitors into their territories while not only maintaining, but increasing their border security. Nations are moving to electronic application and processing systems which provide travellers with an online mechanism to apply, pay for and receive certain types of immigration clearances. These electronic application and processing systems or Electronic Travel Authorizations (ETAs) and/or eVisas serve the dual purpose of reducing visa processing workloads in high volume low risk areas for larger nations, while expanding or facilitating visa issuance for smaller nations with less global capabilities to process visas.
VisaReach is an immigration clearance platform designed to allow governments to define eligibility rules, risk profiles or entitlement rules to optimize their authorization and clearance processes. WorldReach's Secure ETA and eVisa solutions provide the traveller with a user friendly online interface or mobile app to enter the information required, submit this to the appropriate authority, complete a payment online, be provided with an electronic receipt for payment and real-time notification of ETA/eVisa approval, or receive any further instruction for additional steps needed to be taken by the traveller to obtain travel authorization.
The Secure ETA component of VisaReach has world leading enhanced security features allowing countries to expand their VWP, implement a new VWP, complement or replace their Visa-on-Arrival (VoA) or Tourist Carnet programs.
The eVisa component can apply the same platform advantages of enhanced security, significant convenience for the traveller, and ease of implementation for governments.

Toast the chiles in a dry, cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until brown all over; they will soften, bubble and release their aroma .Place the chiles in a saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 5 minutes, or until soft. Transfer the chiles with their water to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Reserve.
Fry the bacon in large heavy stockpot over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chorizo and saute 3 minutes longer, or until browned. Spoon out excess fat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden. Then stir in the garlic and cook for a few minutes to release its aroma. Add the lentils and reserved chile puree and saute an additional minute.
Pour in the stock or water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 10 minutes, occasionally skimming and removing the fat from the top. Stir in the carrots, celery, salt and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat, covered, for about 40 minutes, skimming and discarding the fat from the top. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and cilantro and serve hot, with the lime wedges if desired.

Sam Aaron
Sam is a live coder who considers programming as performance and strongly believes in the importance of emphasising, exploring and celebrating creativity within all aspects of programming.
Sam believes that a programming environment which has sufficient liveness, rapid feedback and tolerance of failure to support the live performance of music is an environment ripe for mining novel ideas that
will not only benefit artistic practices themselves but also the computer industry more generally. In pursuit of this unique perspective Sam is the lead developer of Overtone and Quil, powerful live coding
platforms for music and visuals. Sam is also the creator of Sonic Pi, a music live coding environment used to teach programming within schools. By day Sam is a Postdoc Researcher at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory and by night he codes music for people to dance to.
At NODE Sam Aaron will lead a Sonic Pi workshop and participate on the panel discussion on lecture day. As part of "Repetitive Beats and Repetitive Conditionals" he will live perform on stage.

Rafael Nadal is still a big threat at the French Open, according to the current World No. 1 in tennis.
Novak Djokovic showed respect to Nadal despite the obvious struggles on the court by the Spanish pro in recent tournaments. In a recent interview, Djokovic noted that Nadal is still a worthy opposition, especially on the clay courts, which is considered the specialty and favorite of Nadal.
"You would be disrespectful to everything he has achieved in his career on clay courts if we didn't see him this year – and each year – as the ultimate challenge on clay courts," the Serbian Djokovic said of Nadal to AAP.
"Everybody knows he is the king of clay. He's achieved so much on that surface. He's made history. He's won the French Open nine times."
The "King of Clay" has owned the clay courts at Roland Garros the past decade or ten years winning nine times in the Grand Slam tournament in France. Nadal has won four straight from 2005 to 2008 and five straight from 2010 to 2014.
However, Nadal has completely struggled the past two seasons in the ATP tour. After his French Open title in 2014, he has not advanced past the quarterfinals in the last seven Grand Slam tournaments on schedule. Most recently, Nadal embarrassingly fell to Fernando Verdasco in the first round of the 2016 Australian Open.
Meanwhile, Djokovic continued the greatest stretch of his career by winning the Grand Slam tournament in Melbourne, his sixth Australian Open title (2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016) and 11th overall Grand Slam title in his career (2011, 2014 and 2014 at the Wimbledon Championships and 2011 and 2015 at the US Open).
However, Djokovic has failed to win a title at the French Open losing twice to Nadal in the final, in 2012 and 2014, and to Stan Wawrinka last year.
The 2016 French Open is scheduled from May 16 to June 5 later this year.

Search for resonant pair production of Higgs bosons decaying to two bottom quark–antiquark pairs in proton–proton collisions at 8 TeV
A model-independent search for a narrow resonance produced in proton–proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV and decaying to a pair of 125 GeV Higgs bosons that in turn each decays into a bottom quark–antiquark pair is performed by the CMS experiment at the LHC. We analyzed the data so that it corresponded to an integrated luminosity of 17.9 fb -1. No evidence for a signal is observed. Upper limits at a 95% confidence level on the production cross section for such a resonance, in the mass range from 270 to 1100 GeV, are reported. A radion with decay constant of 1 TeV and mass from 300 to 1100 GeV, and a Kaluza–Klein graviton with mass from 380 to 830 GeV are excluded at a 95% confidence level.
