A wedding engagement brings a flurry of happy activity, from choosing colors for the bridesmaid dresses to deciding where to live. And in the midst of all the excitement of love and new beginnings, couples often ignore a vital element to living happily ever after: discussing their finances.
Talking about money can be an excruciatingly uncomfortable reality check, a subject lacking all the romance and optimism that comes with the vision of marital bliss. Think about it: Would you rather dream of baby names and future prosperity or go over monthly budgets and debt?
Luis and Nicole Peck, who tied the knot on Jan. 3, say they "kind of" talked about their debts and finances before the wedding, but felt they had a good sense of one another's spending habits after dating for a couple of years.
"If we were like many couples who just met, we would have had more of a discussion," said Nicole, 25.
But many in courtship avoid having the premarital financial chat altogether. Not a smart move, says Carolyn Washburn, an associate professor of family and consumer sciences at Utah State University. She conducted a survey asking residents in Washington County what causes conflict in their marriage. Thirty-nine percent named finances the primary source of contention in their marriage; 54 percent ranked it as the secondary reason for conflict.
"In the majority of unhappy relationships, money is an issue," Washburn said. "It's truly the hardest issue that couples have to talk about."
Research shows there are distinct personality types when it comes to money.
Borrowers are more present-oriented and impulsive, said Jessie Fan, a professor in the Department of Family and Consumer Studies at the University of Utah. Savers, by contrast, look to the future. And then there are those who want to avoid money decisions altogether.
"You need to have a good understanding of your partner's general spending tendency," Fan said. "You don't want to be surprised."
She said each partner should sit down, list their assets and construct a monthly budget with an eye toward the future. Then, compare and share. "If you want to buy a house or plan to have a baby soon,'' said Fan, "these are things you need to save for."
Washburn adds that you need to know if your partner is bringing debt into the union.
"Many people come into a marriage with credit card debt and they haven't discussed it at all," she said. "Be truthful about where you are debt-wise."
She also advises discussing spending priorities such as which charities to support, earning potential and how much money it will take to have the lifestyle you want. Unfortunately, Washburn says, many people put off these conversations until it becomes a problem.
"Utah kids get married younger than most," Washburn said. "They haven't had a lot of financial involvement with their family and a lot of couples haven't talked about [money] at all. All they cared about was that $5,000 diamond."
Marriage and family counselor Laura Brown often sees a fairy-tale mentality at her South Jordan practice, particularly with younger couples.
"They're a couple and they're in love and they think love will conquer all, especially in the financial area," Brown said. "But at some point, you do have to talk about expectations and how your parents handled money and then decide how you will do it."
Brown counsels those entering first marriages to combine bank accounts right away as a show of unity and commitment. But she says finances in second and third marriages require special attention.
"If there are children in the home or assets like a cabin in the woods, you may want to keep the accounting separate for those," she said. "But have the discussion, this is mine, this is yours and what do you want to be ours going forward."
Newlyweds Nicole and Luis haven't combined checking accounts yet, but on a limited budget, they say there's not a lot of spending to track right now.
"We're pretty cheap," Nicole said.
Added Luis, 23, "We know the necessity of saving and the need to live within our means. We're totally OK with being poor right now."

Before saying "I do"
Consider these questions before gettng to the altar:
What is our budget?
Should we combine assets or keep them separate?
How much do you owe on credit cards and loans?
What if an illness or injury prevents one of us from working?
What are our joint financial goals?

text: Star has been busy this week. Well, they don't have a website, so all the reporters can focus on reporting for the magazine which must be kind of nice for them. Anyway, in the issue, they interview a man named Murray Langston. He is the father of Myah Marie (above) and he says, "My daughter sings for Britney Spears. The truth is, Myah can sound just like her. She has a knack." He went on to say that the album Femme Fatale was almost exclusive sung by his daughter and she was paid just $1,000 for each of the seven songs she sung. I'm assuming it was her vocal tracks that would have been used for concert performances of the songs too. Very interesting.

Listen to Jessica Simpson on iHeartRadio
Jessica Simpson's daughter Maxwell is growing up fast.
Apparently feeling better after her recent boo boo, the toddler, wearing a San Francisco 49ers jersey, shared a kiss with a little boy in Seattle Seahawks gear on Sunday, as the two teams clashed for the NFC championship.
Simpson shared the picture on Instagram, along with shots of fiance Eric Johnson holding up Maxwell and her baby brother Ace with one hand.
"What a catch," she wrote.
In a video posted on Sunday, Johnson is seen tossing Maxwell into the air and catching her (see below).

from what i've read so far it sounds to me that you're trying to full install to a usb stick which slax live doesn't like and it will kernel panic and or corrupt the data, so follow this step by step and all should be fine* (i am now at this point assuming you have a windows and a linux machine, or at least a windows machince otherwise there is now justification for you using the bootinst.bat file whatsoever)
1- using your windows machine, format your usb stick, this should by default put it into an acceptable vfat format
2- reboot into linux (as i've found this just works faster) either with whatever linux machine you have or the BT3F dvd you said works with no errors
3- fdisk /dev/"whatever device your flashdrive is not including the number, ie. /dev/sda1 =fdisk /dev/sda"
4- print the partition list by typing in "p" if the flash drive is bootable then there will be a "*" in the bootable field if not the type "a" and select partition number 1
5- write changes to MBR by typing "w" *note a reboot may be needed after this step
6- copy your /boot and /BT3 directories over to the flash drive from wherever they are located(if you only have the .iso then you will need to un-pack it do this by mounting the iso "mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/test" as an example)
7-IN A TERMINAL WINDOW!! cd into the /boot folder that you just copied over to your flashdrive and type "sh bootinst.sh
8-follow the on screen directions and the reboot your eeepc
9- at the bios screen press the "esc" key and select to boot from you flash drive
10-if BT3 fails to run you did not follow these instructions properly and i will not help you anymore

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- The new regime at Penn State changed up the look of the team's pro day.
Players auditioning in front of more than 25 NFL scouts or assistant coaches on Wednesday worked out in sleek, form-fitting blue and gray workout gear -- with names on the backs of the shirts! Nameless gameday jerseys are as much a staple of autumn Saturdays in Happy Valley as falling leaves and tailgating.
There's no indication the plain-Jane jerseys will disappear under rookie coach Bill O'Brien, though his NFL connections might come in handy for the Nittany Lions hoping to get to the next level.
Though he never coached this group of Penn State seniors, O'Brien spoke about them like family.
"That's one of the ways you show it. You want these guys to have career opportunities when they're done playing, and you can help them with developing a relationship with the NFL," he said Wednesday outside the team's indoor practice facility.
Like O'Brien's predecessor, the late Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno, the team kept the workouts themselves off limits to media.
Unlike Paterno, O'Brien spoke to reporters while players ran through a regimen that included 40-yard dashes, bench presses and positional drills. Under O'Brien's watch, Penn State has switched to a new offseason training regimen that focuses on free weights, Olympic-style lifting and squats.
Strength coach Craig Fitzgerald has said the new regimen, in part, helps improve players' explosiveness, what he has called an important trait in NFL testing.
"Talking to all the current players, they love it, they love what's going on," safety Drew Astorino said about the workout routine. "Great attitudes. Looking bigger, looking stronger. They feel good, so you've got to be happy with that."
Penn State's best pro prospect is Devon Still, the 6-foot-5 defensive tackle (11 1/2 tackles for loss) who wreaked havoc in opposing backfields until being slowed by turf toe in the 30-14 loss Jan. 2 to Houston in the TicketCity Bowl.
Still said Wednesday he took three weeks rehabbing the injury before the NFL combine last month, when he still wasn't 100 percent. He's not fully over the injury yet, though Still said he's feeling better. As proof, the 300-pound Still clocked in at 4.95 seconds on his 40-yard dash, .08 seconds faster than at the combine.
Still called the turf toe injury "annoying," though the potential first-round pick still has nearly six more weeks to get fully healthy before the NFL draft.
"This was a big deal," Still said about Penn State pro day, "just because I didn't put my performance in at the combine. I just wanted to come out here and compete."
For many pro day attendees, including Still, Wednesday was their first opportunity to meet with O'Brien. He was named coach Jan. 6, four days after the TicketCity Bowl. By that time, most of the departing seniors had dispersed and didn't return to State College.
"Great personality," tight end Andrew Szczerba said. "You could have graduated 10 years ago and he'll treat you like you're on his team right now."
O'Brien came to Penn State after serving as offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots, whose high-octane offense has made stars out of quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski.
Szczerba said he hoped to talk more extensively with O'Brien in the next few days to get pointers on making it in the NFL. O'Brien's success using the tight end with the Patriots also swayed the verbal commitment of Adam Breneman, a junior at Cedar Cliff High School in Camp Hill, Pa., who recruiting services have called one of the top tight ends and prospects overall in the country.
It was perhaps the biggest recruiting commitment yet of O'Brien's brief Penn State tenure.
"Coach O'Brien's offense is one that I can thrive in," Breneman said last week after announcing his college choice before more than 400 people at his high school gym.
NCAA regulations forbid college coaches to talk about recruiting before players put their commitments in writing. But O'Brien said getting ready for the NFL isn't his prime selling point to potential Nittany Lions.
"If prospects ask about it, I'll give my take on the NFL," O'Brien said, "but we talk about Penn State and the university more than anything else."
NOTES: Two rising sophomores made the most notable position switches this spring. Bill Belton, a receiver who took snaps in the wildcat offense last season, has moved to running back, while Dakota Royer is going from linebacker to tight end. ... O'Brien said Penn State was one of a few schools contacted by former Maryland quarterback Danny O'Brien for a potential transfer. A redshirt sophomore, Danny O'Brien was granted his release from the Terrapins last month after completing 150 of 266 passes for 1,648 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions last seasons.

Joe Nichols scores first Billboard chart-topper in over three years
Listen to Joe Nichols on iHeartRadio
Joe Nichols is back on top. His latest single, "Sunny and 75" has reached the number one spot on the Country Airplay chart to become his first "Billboard" chart-topper in more than three years.
His last number one hit was "Gimmie That Girl," which spent two weeks at the top of the chart in May 2010. Joe says he's thrilled with the accomplishment.
He explains that "seeing your song at the top of the charts never gets old," whether "it's your first number one record or your 50th." "Sunny and 75" is Joe's fourth Billboard chart-topper.
But the three-year, seven-month span isn't Nichols' largest gap between chart-toppers. Four years and five months elapsed between "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off," which topped the chart in December 2005, and "Gimmie That Girl."
Nichols' first number one hit was "Brokenheartsville," which peaked at number one in March 2003.

Development of Eco-Friendly Deconstruction Technologies for Recycling Construction Waste

the intended use and required performance of buildings are rapidly changing
with advances in scientific technology and globalization. Furthermore, given the
population growth in semi-developed and developing countries, economic growth, increasing
waste, and increasing amounts of energy consumption, the industry requires the
development of efficient methods to deconstruct old buildings by reducing waste
and saving as much energy as possible during periods of urban redevelopment and
maintenance. In general, either an ordinary breaker or a hydraulic breaker is
used to deconstruct reinforced concrete buildings. This deconstruction method
has the ability to shorten the construction period compared to the other
methods, but it is difficult to separate the debris that gets mixed when the
deconstruction is completed, as it is a rough construction method that uses
large equipment. This study develops a technology that can be used to selectively
heat, separate, and deconstruct the steel reinforcement inside reinforced
concrete, treating the reinforcement as a conductive resistor and applying
high-frequency induction heating to the reinforced concrete structure.
Specifically, this study verifies the temperature characteristics of deformed
bars inside reinforced concrete, the occurrence of cracks due to thermal
fracture of the deformed bars, and chemical and physical weakening of concrete
by thermal conduction on the surface of steel reinforcement using the
high-frequency induction heating technology. Furthermore, this study considers
the extent of concrete weakening in the heating range of appropriate energy and
carries out a technical review of the stages that would be actually applied.
This technology involves low noise and low pollution levels, and it increases
the collection rate of steel reinforcement inside separated reinforced concrete
members and the recycling rate of construction wastes; thus, its use is
expected to reduce the energy consumption by minimizing secondary processing.

It's Wednesday and I I feel like I'm still trying to recover from this weekend. I attended an art gallery exhibit on Saturday night, featuring some beautiful curvy women. You'll hear about that soon.
Sunday, was a day filled with fashion and beauty. I was invited to the Retail Camp, which was held at Woodbury University. It was a two-day conference that brought together apparel and retail industry professionals, bloggers and designers. They taught them how to use technology as a marketing, business and brand development tool. I was only able to attend a half-day and it was very educational. Marie Denee The Curvy Fashionista and Jeanine Jacob of The Coveted, along with other top notch fashion bloggers were part of a panel called "The Business of Blogging." It was a great look into the minds of successful fashion bloggers.
After the conference, I headed over to Kurvee, the shopping and beauty event. I met up with a bunch of other bloggers and we had so much fun. There was not only shopping, but there were beauty treatments as well. The weather was amazing as we sat on the patio waiting to see if we won any of the giveaways. A big thank you to the organizer, Tamika. You outdid yourself.
It was a greatly needed event and I thank all the vendors and sponsors for being a part of it. We had Haute CurVture, You by Crocs, Curvy Divas Rock, Belini, Chinese Laundry, Phoenicia Goddess, Sealed With A Kiss Designs, IGIGI, and many more! A portion of the proceeds went to Pushing Pink Pedals, they work with at risk women and teens to help build self esteem and empowerment through makeup. I seriously can't wait for the next one. You should too!

Top baseball players in Gator history: 50-11
Published: Thursday, February 13, 2014 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 at 3:42 p.m.
The Sun's top 100 players in Gator baseball history were selected by Sun sports columnist Pat Dooley, who saw his first Florida baseball game when he was 9 years old.
Dooley made the selections but ran them by several journalists and former players for feedback before finalizing the list. Among them were WRUF's Larry Vettel, former players Jeff Cardozo and Nick Belmonte, FightinGators.com's Cody Jones and Florida baseball sports information director John Hines.
But don't blame them if you don't like the selections. This is still Dooley's list, for better or for worse.
Here are UF's top players, ranked 50-11:
50. Alan Horne: Horne only pitched for a year at Florida after transferring from Ole Miss, but he was the ace of a Gator team that went to the CWS finals. Finished 10-2 that season, one of the top winning percentages in a season for a Gator.
49. Tony Stevens: Stevens had the hat trick of making All-SEC, All-SEC Tournament and All-Regional in 1979 when he knocked in 74 runs, the seventh best single-season total.
48. Ben Harrison: One of the top sluggers in Florida history, Harrison ranks in the top eight all-time in runs, home runs, RBIs and total bases.
47. Dave Majeski: Majeski ranks in the top 10 all-time in UF history in games, starts, hits and stolen bases. ... All-SEC in 1992.
46. Dale Willis: Willis was All-SEC in 1956 and was a strikeout artist during his career. In his senior season, he averaged 11.9 strikeouts a game and is a member of the UF Athletic Hall of Fame.
45. Jerry Bilyk: The catcher is one of the few players in Florida history to be named All-SEC in consecutive years. He did it in 1955 and '56.
44. Steve Lombardozzi: Another player who had a hat trick, Lombo did it in 1981 when he was All-SEC, all-regional and All-SEC Tournament.
43. Jason Dill: The unassuming Dill burst on the scene as a freshman in 1998 with a freshman-record 16 homers. Two years later, he hit .406 for the season and finished his career with 32 homers.
42. Pete Teixeira: Back in the days when pitchers finished what they started, Teixeira was one of the best. His five solo shutouts and 17 complete games rank as the best at UF.
41. Nolan Fontana: Fontana had a knack for getting big hits and hitting unexpected homers for the UF teams that went to three straight CWS. But he was in the lineup for his glove. The shortstop was three times voted to the All-SEC defensive team.
40. Ryan Shealy: Shealy was one of the best sluggers to play at Florida. His 39 career homers rank sixth and he is second for a single season in hits, homers and RBIs.
39. Pat Osborn: Osborn hit .414 in 2002, which is the second-best average in Gator history. He was All-SEC that year, and his 104 hits are tied for the single-season record at UF.
38. Allen Trammell: Trammell is well-known for his football exploits and friendship with Steve Spurrier, but he also has the best single season batting average after hitting .425 in 1965.
37. Adam Davis: His 90 hits in 2005 are the second best recorded by a Florida second baseman. He scored 187 runs in his career and is fifth all-time in double plays turned.
36. Tim Olson: Olson had a special 2000 season once he was moved from shortstop to center field. He was All-SEC, the MVP of the Waco Regional and hit .394 with 75 RBIs.
35. Russ Kibler: He was All-SEC in 1984 and is third all-time with his 15 complete games that season. Also had 111 strikeouts in '84.
34. Brian Jeroloman: There was nobody better at throwing out baserunners than the strong-armed Jeroloman. He also had a knack for coming up with huge hits for Pat McMahon's 2005 CWS finalists.
33. Burt Touchberry: Not only was he an All-SEC pitcher in 1957, Touchberry still holds the record for lowest ERA in a season at 0.81. His career ERA was 2.33.
32. Jeff Corsaletti: The heart and soul of Florida's 2005 SEC champs and CWS finalists, Corsaletti flirted with .400 that season when he finished with 100 hits. Fifth all-time in hits and also had 159 career RBIs.
31. Jim Watkins: Florida's first first-round draft pick, Watkins ranks second in steals for a season, and had 65 over the 1978 and '79 seasons. Also hit .362 for his career.
30. David Bowden: Doubled as a Florida quarterback but was a much better baseball player. Bowden was named all-SEC twice.
29. Kevin Polcovich: In the conversation when it comes to talking about the best Gator shortstops. Polcovich was named to the 1991 CWS all-tournament team.
28. Hudson Randall: His 52 starts are the third most at Florida and he has the second most wins in UF history with 28. Helped Florida reach the CWS three straight years.
27. Matt den Dekker: Perhaps the best center fielder in Florida history, he was named to the All-SEC defensive team a record three times. Also fourth all-time in runs scored and in the top 10 in career home runs.
26. Greg Catalanotte: Catalanotte was one of the best right fielders in Florida history. In addition to his strong right arm, his .620 slugging percentage was the sixth best at UF and his 23 doubles in 1998 are the second highest total.
25. Bob Bonanno: All-time leader in career strikeouts with 392. His 28 wins are tied for the second most in Gator history. Opponents hit only .201 against him.
24. Darren O'Day: It's not easy to be a 20-20 guy in college baseball, but O'Day did it. He won 23 games and saved another 20 for Florida. He finished his career third in appearances.
23. Josh Adams: Adams finished his career with the second most assists and most double plays in Gator history. He was All-SEC in 2008 and '09 and finished his career with 287 hits, the third best total in UF history.
22. Mario Linares: A member of the CWS all-tournament team in 1991, Linares made All-SEC as a designated hitter in 1988 and as a catcher in 1991. His 60 doubles are the third-best total in Florida history.
21. Austin Maddox: Whether he was at the plate or on the mound, Maddox was an intimidating force. He was the SEC freshman of the year in 2010 and his 17 saves rank fifth all-time.
20. Rodney Brewer: Brewer was infamous for a dropped fly ball in a regional against Miami, but the two-sport athlete was a powerful designated hitter who twice had 21 doubles in a season (1986 and '87).
19. Mike Stanley: Stanley was a three-time All-SEC player in 1982, '84 and '85. His .350 career average ranks ninth all-time for Florida and he also ranks ninth in career hits.
18. Mark Kiger: Kiger was one of the best hitters for Andy Lopez's teams in the early 2000s. He hit .403 in 2002 and ranks in the top 10 in almost every offensive category. He also ranks sixth all-time in double plays turned.
17. Roger Holt: Holt was a strong defensive shortstop who was Florida's only All-SEC selection in 1977. His 10 triples in '77 are the fourth best at UF and his 32 stolen bases that year are 10th. He is eighth all-time in assists.
16. Josh Fogg: As a freshman, Fogg struggled mightily, but he rebounded to be one of the best closers in Florida history. Fogg was All-SEC in 1998 and his 22 career saves rank second all-time at UF. Fogg had 236 strikeouts in his three-year career.
15. Brian Johnson: Florida's run to three straight CWS was aided greatly by this two-way player. Johnson was a starting pitcher in the weekend rotation and a hitting machine at first base. He was named All-SEC in 2011 and '12 and was named the winner of the John Olerud Award for best two-way player in 2012 when he was 8-5 and hit .307.
14. Scott Ruskin: Ruskin was Brad Wilkerson before Brad Wilkerson. He was All-SEC as an outfielder in 1984 and as a pitcher in '85. He hit .406 in 1984 and his career average of .367 is the third best in UF history.
13. Doug Corbett: Ask anyone who watched Gator baseball during the early 1970s, and they will have a Doug Corbett story. Like the time he hit a homer that landed where the O'Dome stands now or the time he pitched both ends of a doubleheader. Corbett was All-SEC in 1974, had a 1.97 ERA in '73 and 2.45 for his career.
12. Perry McGriff: McGriff was one of the best two-sport athletes to play at Florida, doubling as a wide receiver in football and an outfielder in baseball. He was twice named All-SEC in 1958 and '59 and was a first-team All-American in '58 (second team in '59.) He is a member of the UF athletic Hall of Fame.
11. Jeff Gidcumb: Gidcumb was an innings-eater who pitched Florida to its first College World Series appearance in 1988. Gidcumb won 16 games that season (25 for his career) and was the most valuable player of the East regional. His 151 innings pitched in '88 are the most for a UF player.

South Carolina protestors oppose Common Core Curriculum
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
It's a nationwide sweep in an effort to reflect knowledge and skills necessary for the real world but the change in curriculum, sometimes trickling to a change in scores, means many are outraged by the mandatory transition the state decided to enact.
It didn't take long for many of you on Facebook to state those emotions.
Shannon C Summer said, "It's just a more intensive version of teaching to the test, and even mandates exactly how teachers are to teach with absolutely no regard for the fact that not everyone learns in the same way... I am willing to bet it was designed by people with no experience in teaching or with children."
News 2 looked into that and found there were five K-12th grade classroom teachers and 21 college math professors developing the math standards. Yet those standards, some teachers say, leave the door wide open for erroneous thinking.
"Two plus two does not equal four any longer. If you can explain to how you think that got to six, that 2+2=6, good job. You get 100."
One local teacher disagrees with that and supports the curriculum because she said it's not all about memorization anymore.
"It's a paradigm shift because it's not these are the fact... it's more about the process," Camellia Harris said.
This school year is just one of two transition years before the common core curriculum is going to be implemented in schools but Monday is the day many opponents are vowing to keep kids home from school in protest.
"I think its a great idea. An amazing teachable moment to these children in standing up for what they believe in," Kasi Farr said.
"But If you decide to keep your children home Monday please don't ask them to get any info they may have missed from my children," Michael Willard replied.
Opponents of common core are holding a protest Monday morning at ten at the State Department of Education headquarters in Columbia.

Tips to Hire a Party or Wedding Photographer
The world of wedding photography has changed dramatically over the last couple of years both in style and the ability for a photographer to showcase his or her work. No doubt, the evolution is due to online blogs and websites that share these fabulous photos for brides to gaze at while dreaming of their big day and ogling over the latest wedding trends. Whether you are hiring a photographer for a wedding or to shoot the moments at your party, the rules of engagement are similar.
The world of wedding photography has changed dramatically over the last couple of years both in style and the ability for a photographer to showcase his or her work. No doubt, the evolution is due to online blogs and websites that share these fabulous photos for brides to gaze at while dreaming of their big day and ogling over the latest wedding trends. Whether you are hiring a photographer for a wedding or to shoot the moments at your party, the rules of engagement are similar.
The Interview: Questions to Ask Your Potential Photographer
Photographers are artists and many have a certain style, which is why you've hired them in the first place. However, there may be certain photos that you want for your event that are based on others' work.
If this is the case, you'll need to bring those images when you meet the photographer and gauge how willing he or she is to take similar pictures. Most should be cool with it, but if they aren't you need to think about if they are the ideal photographer for you.
What is the cost for the photographer's services and what does that include specifically? Albums, prints, cards, digital files?
Do they anticipate additional equipment costs based on the time and location of the event? For example, a huge outdoor party at night may require the rental of additional lights or multiple photographers.
When will you get your photos? Make sure this agreed upon date makes it into the contract!
Can you get the photos in a digital format as well so you can easily upload them to a computer?
Can you post the pictures online or wherever you want? If so, do they require that you credit them? For most, this answer is yes, since you've paid for the work, but be sure to double check. The answer may be a deal breaker for you.
Can they provide recommendations with phone numbers that you can call? It's important to connect with previous clients or businesses who recommend a photographer. They may take fabulous photos but are known to be late with delivery.
If you have brought images with you as examples of what you'd like at your party, are they OK with it?
Above all, do you like their work? Check out their portfolio and photos of events similar to yours and if you're head over heels about their work, then move forward with hiring them.
The Contract: Avoid Unexpected Fees or Surprises
In days where it's so easy and expected to upload and showcase photos online for the world to see, it's important to keep this fact in mind: Know that a photographer's work is protected under the United States of America's and other governing bodies' copyright laws and you need to get their written permission to post the pictures anywhere from blogs to your local newspaper.
Along with that friendly piece of advice, here are some additional points that you may want to cover in writing with your photographer.
The price for the photographer's services, equipment, and anything else that price includes - a second set of hands, a dinner plate at the event, printed thank you's, etc.
Agreed upon overtime charges should you incur them.
The time they will arrive and the time they will depart your party.
The cost of photo prints and any other costs for photo products.
The date that you will receive the photos, prints, and all materials promised to you.
Written permission to post photos online or in print media and how or if they require that you credit them.
Their cancellation policy or procedure for an unforeseen circumstance, natural or otherwise, on the day or leading up to the day of the party which makes it impossible for the event to take place or for them to get there?
Keeping the above in mind and on paper is difficult, but essential. You're spending a lot of money for photography and you want to make sure your investment is covered. You also want to be fair to the person or persons helping to capture your special day.
The Event: Make your List and Check it Twice
You'll be too preoccupied with eating, dancing, and mingling to make sure your photographer is getting the photos you want on your big day, so make the proper arrangements beforehand so there are no surprises or disappointments.
A week before the big day, check-in with your photographer to confirm arrival time, set up and any additional special requests.
Make sure you have their contact information including a cell phone number as well as an office number and know who to you call if they are late to your party.
Make all the necessary introductions at the event so the "communication" can be clear. That means if you have a party planner directing cake presentation or a deejay introducing a special guest or a surprise performance planned, you should connect the photographer with whoever is in charge. This way, no special moments are missed. Directors or planners will make sure your photographer is front and center, ready to capture the moment right from the start.
A useful tool for your photographer is an outline of planned events. Create a timetable for the party with important scheduled events that are going to take place, such as "10:00pm cake is served," and give a copy to the photographer.
Finally, you may want to make a list of photo ops that you definitely want to get such as the arrival of a guest of honor or a shot with great-grandma, grandma and mom, so you don't miss any moments at the party.

The Cage Warriors team are proud to announce that their Junior event "CWFC Braves" will return on July 12th in Nottingham. The CWFC team hope to have an expanded fightcard for the next generation of UK fighters as they test their growing skills in an environment which is more safer of younger fighters inside the CWFC Octagonal Cage.
CWFC 'Braves' 2 - will take place before the main "Enter The Rough House 7" card in Nottingham and the CWFC team believes this event will follow on from the success of the last 'Braves' event on April 19th, as it provides a platform for "Juniors" to gain valuable experience inside the cage and will help promote the stars of tomorrow.
As a result Cage Warriors require "Junior" fighters between the ages of 13 to 17 years old for this event.

lost is good, rockstar, and you wat is the best ever...
i think they stopped makin it but it was soo good it had amazing tropical flavors
actually....the active ingredient in most of these energy drinks is taurine and not caffeine....so uhhhh
no caffeine rush
alot of em dont even have caffeine in em...go figure
i think its also somewhat psychological...like if somebody tells you you're sposed to be real energetic after drinking something and you're not...you feel like a dumbass for buying sum expensive non-working "energy" drink...so i think sum people intentionally act more gassed than they really are...
just my opinion..
o and vodka and red bull is supposed to be harmful for the body somehow...might wanna do sum research on that one...
before you die at your next party...which will put quite a damper on your social life and overall outlook on things...not to mention painting
knowledge is power
^dam that was a fuckin downer on my part...nah but u will get a rush off monster and jolt and if u drink enough red bull u will too...jolt gum is the shit too. i got caffenated soap too, that shit is tight!! extra little boost in the monrin
I like gatorade it gives (me) energy and quenches thirst and lots of flavors, same with no name branded wannabes and powerade.
I love Soda vanilla coke or pepsi vanilla or the lime flavored, reg is nice too
I like redbull but I went to wholesale and got 24 cans for 35 dollars they are expensive but work but the taste could be better.
Does anyone remember Refreshers (sherbet type sweets), do they still make them? That's what Red Bull reminds me off, Refreshers.
in my opinion red bull tastes like total shit, and i dont know why anyone would drink it unless they really think they need energy. sobe is the only company that makes remotely good-tasting drinks out of all those choices.
i agree, i had some at my friends house, spit it out, and stained his carpet, i cant go back to his house...... fuck redbull.
hahahaha, it make ya teeth feel dirty afterwards, i always wana brush my teeth after, n makes ya need to spit more

Arturo in particular built up the organization and aligned it with the Sinaloa and juarez cartels in the early 2000s.
juarez had been visiting there when he sexually assaulted the child in a hallway and then asphyxiated her with a pillow.
"Gambol and I sat down and made a meal of his balls," juarez tells Luntz.
In February 2011, her home was set on fire and she was forced to leave juarez and now continues her work from Mexico City.
This house on Parsioneros, after all, was only one of many such narco-tombs in juarez, known as narcofosas.
By a wave of a hand he indicated the direction to juarez in which to steer, and to Jim and me he would call port or starboard.
The fate of the Emperor Maximilian was now in the hands of juarez.
As juarez declared: "Peace means respect for the rights of others."
juarez is the only President of Mexico who has died in the occupancy of his office!
Jo, you and Tom watch the upper side, juarez will take care of the trail in front.

A veteran at throwing batting practice, Siegal is the first woman to coach first base in men's professional baseball (Brockton Rox, 2009). She spent three years as the only female college baseball coach in the country (Assistant Coach, Springfield College, 2007-10). As the Founder and Executive Director of Baseball For All, Siegal is dedicated to providing opportunities for girls and women to get involved in the game of baseball.To read more or comment...
