Alysia Rising
Battle of Blue Water
The year was 1018. It was five years into the First Alysian Civil War and the Shieldarm family played a very important role in the Battle of Blue Water. Treblhar Shieldarm was Grand General of the army, but was killed defeating a primal earth elemental during the Battle of the Blue Water. Kalnius Shieldarm was head of contingent of Azure Knights and the 1st Iberlin infantry. He planned and executed a deception at the Battle of the Blue Water that gave the day to the Royal forces stalemated at the Blue Water river just east of Innspa in the most southern extreme of the province of Geatland.

I used to list all of the photographers and photobloggers who inspired me on a daily basis, but that list has grown to be much too long. The fact is, there are so many amazing photographers out there, with different styles, different voices…all with something to say, all from whom much inspiration can be drawn. So instead of listing ten or twenty I think you should visit, I suggest you take a look at five different photographers' websites or photoblogs each day; familiarize yourself with their work, learn from them, and then move on to five more. We all have something to share, let's broaden our horizons together.
I must list, however, the photographers who have affected me in the most profound ways. These photographers, both amateur and professional, have taught me to 'see' in many different ways. One, I discovered when I was just 15 years old, the other I chat with on a regular basis. Some have passed on, others have yet to reach their full potential. But each of these magnificent photographers are truly talented individuals who have inspired me and influenced, in some small way, my own vision:
Anton Corbijn
Christian Patterson
David Hilliard
Diane Arbus
Elliot Erwitt
Edward Weston
Gordon Parks Sr.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Jasmine Star
Jez Coulson
Lee Gribbon
Robert Mapplethorpe
Sebastian Shuster
Shane Montgomery
Susan Burnstine
Walker Evans
I also must list a few of the amazing websites and blogs that I try to read or visit on a regular basis…pay these sites a visit, they are awesome:
The Landscapist
Drinking With A Dead Man
Paul Lester
Art & Perception
Musings on Photography
Blueeyes magazine
All Things Girl
Blogcritics Magazine
Other resources for photographers:
Strategy Avenue – business resources for photographers, by wedding photographer extraordinaire Laura Novak and her fiance John Meyer, a sales and marketing professional.
Open Source Photo Forum – forum for wedding & portrait photographers to learn and share ideas
The [b] School – if you're a wedding photographer, this website is a MUST SEE
Pictage – Professional photography resource… online proofing, printing, etc…it's AWESOME

Jodi's got a point.
So, for example, in Wyoming, you have to post a notice in the legal section of the newspaper for 6 weeks. If anyone has any objections to the name change, they may respond to that legal notice with their objections. At the end of the 6 weeks, the petition and any objections go to the county judge, and they make a determination of whether or not the name will be changed. If they decide in favor of the change, our Vital Records department is contacted by the court, and an amended birth certificate is issued.
When we did my son's, it was cut & dried, because his dad and I have been married his whole life, and aren't planning anything different, so there were no objections. I'm not sure what would have happened if there had been, I assume we'd have had to actually appear before the judge to plead our case.
But, each state is different as far as requirements, so for the official steps you'll need to start at the Vital Records office. So, I guess, if dad is not on board with the name change (bio dad, that is) you may need to expect a little difficulty.

Do you have the father's permission?
â« Shawnn âªâ«â« - posted on 01/16/2014
Start with your state department of vital statistics (vital records), where you request certified copies of the birth certificate. They will be able to tell you what steps to follow for a legal name change

J.P. Morgan's London-based technology team is on edge. Following a series of redundancies in March, there are rumours of additional cuts to come soon and then again later in the year.
"I left in March," says one ex-J.P. technologist. "I know a few other people who were let go at the same time. The next waves were expected in May and September."
Alongside redundancies, J.P. Morgan's London technology jobs are being shifted to cheaper locations. "The new hires in my project are based in Glasgow even though the current team sits in Bank Street," says the ex-employee.
J.P. Morgan declined to comment on the alleged layoffs, but recruiters confirmed that J.P. Morgan's London technologists are fearful of being shifted to Glasgow or Bournemouth or being asked to leave altogether. "They're offering people voluntary redundancy as they try to streamline," says one technology recruiter, speaking on condition of anonymity. "They're also moving people out of the City."
In March, J.P. Morgan banned its technology staff from having full profiles on LinkedIn. This has not prevented the bank's technology-oriented professionals quitting for hedge funds, high speed trading companies and tech firms. Last month, Gabi Teodoru, a former quantitative researcher and data scientist with a PhD in computational neuroscience from UCL left for Jukedeck, a company that offers bespoke music for videos and games.
Recruiters say that J.P. Morgan is also hiring technologists for its London trading business, however. "A lot of people want to join Doug Carucci's group in London," says one. "He's seen as a superstar." Carucci is a managing director in quantitative trading at J.P. Morgan. He joined the bank in 2011 from Sun Trading and previously spent 10 years as head of front office technology at Citadel.

Neighbouring Mount Everest, Earth's highest mountain, Bhutan has peaks of between 5,000 and 7,000 metres (16,000-23,000 ft) high. They are permanently capped with snow, which extends down valleys in long glacier tongues. Because of weather patterns on each side of the range and differences in topography, the glaciers on each side are distinctly different from one another and may react very differently to climate change. Understanding how glaciers evolve is important because they are the proverbial "canary in the coal mine". Along with polar ice, they are the things most sensitive to global warming. As well as indicating climate change, melting glaciers can cause catastrophic floods, making it essential to monitor them regularly.

Bigg Boss 10: Salman Khan did this to Om Swami and it will definitely shock you
With so much drama that happened inside the Bigg Boss house throughout the week, the Weekend Ka Vaar with Salman Khan has to be interesting. The BB10 host has finished taping the Saturday episode and let us tell you that it's going to be an episode which the viewers won't forget in the years to come.
First it was Priyanka Jagga, who faced Salman's wrath, all thanks to her highly demeaning comments on fellow contestants Lopamudra Raut and Manu Punjabi. Priyanka got into a massive war of words with Lopa in the last night's episode. Their argument got ugly after Priyanka ended up calling Lopa a sl*t. Then day before yesterday, she stooped to a new low when she made personal remarks on Manu Punjabi's deceased mother. All this didn't go down well with Salman, who confronted Priyanka. But then things took a turn for worse when she got into an argument with Salman too. Before Salman could lose his temper further, he stopped the shoot midway and asked Priyanka to leave the house. Yep, he kicked Priyanka out of the show and we have already told you that she agreed and is no more part of Bigg Boss 10.
Then it was Om Swami's turn to face the Sultan actor's wrath yet again. Om Swami too attacked Manu Punjabi by passing derogatory comments on him and his girlfriend Priya Saini. Plus his act of breaking the bathroom door during a task also ticked Salman off. Not only Salman, but we even saw how for the first time ver in the history of the show, Bigg Boss himself lashed out at a contestant.
Although Salman didn't kick Swami out of the house, like Priyanka, but after she left the house, the BB10 host asked Manveer Gurjar to get a dupatta from the store room and seal his mouth so that he doesn't interrupt while he is talking. Served him right, we say.

Pumpkin Patch
We took full advantage of the beautiful weather we had a couple of weeks ago and headed to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin.

Random Thoughts
I went to the pumpkin patch this morning with the three kids. It was for a birthday party. It was cold, wet and muddy. The kids are all in their rooms right now. I am frustrated and diasppointed with their behavior at the party. We all can use a little quiet time. Why does it feel like they were the worst behaved children out the bunch? Is it because there were parents and kids there whom I teach, and I feel the pressure? It's day 11 without Jason. We miss him. He gets home in the middle of the night tomorrow. My progress reports are due on Monday, I have a lot of work to do. I'm here writing this instead of working on them. My back is feeling a bit better, I wasn't able to walk last weekend so mobility is fantastic. I have a doctors appointment next week to get a referral for therapy. I cracked a tooth. I guess I will have a dentist appointment next week too. Riley had her dental work done last week. They sedated her, she was funny after the procedure was done. I think I had a glimpse of what she will look like in her drinking years. I was about to write university years but, I know what kids do in high school. I was one of those kids. Cooper told Jason on Skype the other night that he thinks he " rocks my world". He is right he does. We had a huge storm the other night. My basement leaked. A parent dropped there child off at school on Wednesday telling me that her son was up all nit sick with a fever and a bad cold. She brought him to school anyway. Guess what? I'm now sick with a cold. Here's hoping nobody else gets it. Cooper had a reaction last week to apples. He seems to be able to eat fresh apples but any processes apples get the best of him my brother Ryan has an apple allergy so I'm not surprised. The poor kid lived on the toilet or in the bath for about 30 hours. Simon has an obsession with Star Wars right now. It's fun! I like reading and learning about all the characters with him. There sure are a lot of characters. I bought him a character encyclopedia and it's 200 pages. Our new wine fridge finally arrived. It was completely damaged. They were supposed to deliver a new one on Tuesday. They didn't show up. The say they will be here on Tuesday. This is my first time updating this blog on this app on my iPad. I hope it works. The kids and I are ordering pizza tonight and eating it in my bed while we watch movies until we fall asleep. I bet I'm the first one sleeping. I guess I have left them in their rooms long enough. More posts with picture and project 365 will be here soon. I know, I always say that.

Copper cries a lot at school A LOT. The first thing out his mouth every morning is "do I have to go to school?" If I answer yes, he cries. All. Morning. Long. He cries at drop off. He cries during every transition through the day. He cries if any other parent comes to the school for any reason. He cries when I pick him up at the end of the day and says "I cried for you all day mama." It breaks my heart, but I know, this too shall pass. One thing he has taken great interest in at school is their garden. Specifically the tomatoes. He sits and picks baskets of them "to bring home for mama." When we get home he gives his tomatoes a bath "so mama can make soup."

Brief Answer: You are suffering from superficialthrombophlebitis Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX nawar Thanks for writing to HCM You are suffering form superficial thrombophlebitis.This is a common problem after I.V injections. You don't worry at all.Your condition is manageable. It is usually a benign self-limiting condition but it resolves slowly. You should try to keep your limb in slightly elevated position and can apply hot compression over the area. You can apply heparin sodium gel locally.It shortens the duration of signs and symptoms. Topical analgesia with non steroidal anti-inflammatory(NSAIDS) creams applied locally also control symptoms. If deeper clots (deep vein thrombosis) are also present then anticoagulates should be given. Antibiotics can be if you have an infection.This condition is confirmed by colour doppler. Get well soon. Hope i have answered your query. Further queries are most welcome. Take Care Dr.Indu XXXXXXX

Hi, I have taken the plunge and written my first hub. I would appreciate any advice.
Your fist hub looks good. The content is also interesting. The photo is nice but you may move it to left side, it will helps the present of layout better. You choose the competitive topic, it may hard to get traffic unless you invest sometime to build huge back links to it.
Anyway, this is good for starting, try to make another one and get traffic to your hubs.
Good luck.
Welcome to HubPages, and nice job on your first hub. You've got a lot of good, well-written information.
You should move that first picture down to at least the second text capsule, and make sure your first text capsule is long enough to accommodate a large, rectangular ad that will show up.
I would take the first list of Amazon products and make it right flush to one of the text capsules.
Also, don't be afraid to use several text capsules with different section titles or headings. It helps to break up the text.
Try to have at least 10 to 15 tags. Make some fairly general (as you have), but also put a few more specialized tags in there.
And then go find some hubs by SunForged or Darkside and see what they have to say about keyword research.
The lay out is a bit of plain and can't attract enough traffic. I have no hub to publish yet, you did a better job than me!
Thanks for the feedback! I made some changes. It some playing around to figure it out, but I am learning.
Thanks again!
It looks informative and well organized. now put some you tubes tutorials and more pic of before and afters..
You Go Girl... I am new too. I have fallen on my face but got right back up... Keep writing............
Thanks, everyone for your advice. I have made some changes to them. I have no idea what is good traffic. I am getting 6-12 hits/views per day on the three. I have written so far one in the past three days. Just curious what kind of numbers I should be looking for.
I have made more improvements to my hubs. Any advice on them now?

Friday Morning
We woke in the morning, still off schedule from jetlag. The floors were cold, so I sniveled about my sore knee and made Larry get up to make breakfast for us. The swelling in my knee had gone down, leaving a lovely bruise and some scuffing which eventually formed a scab. Mmm-mmm, good.
Breakfast was tea with milk and sugar, toast and eggs and bacon and juice. The hot water kettle heated water in a flash, but if you got any moisture down in the plug or socket on the base, the breakers would flip. Too much water in the kettle would boil up over into the handle and down into the plug. Not all that safe, but great otherwise, LOL.
I mentioned I had cold sores before I left. I did, three of them, one on each side of my upper lip, and one below. The Zorivax seemed to be helping, but then I was using Abreva, so I am not certain. What I do know is that I shouldn't have been using Zorivax while traveling. It messes with my system. That, and we'd been drinking tap water from the Madrid airport, not suggested normally. After breakfast, I was not in good condition ... I was very glad Larry had picked up some Imodium at the SLC airport. I'd forgotten to pack it. I feel as if I were being punished. But the medicine, some tea and the bidet set me right. By noon I was up for a little exploring.
We drove up and down N340, mostly checking out what was in the area. There are old stone towers up and down the coast, faros ... I do not know how old these are, I need to do some research. I tried and tried to get a good picture of one, but they're all fairly inaccessible. The one you could get close to was on a roundabout and I was too close to get a good picture!
We found access down to the beach; the wind kept snatching my scarf off my head. Two guys were fishing and catching small fish, but big enough to eat. We scrounged for beach glass and I found a bit of nifty sea-buffed blue and white on red clay tile. I will make a pendant from it! I took a lot of pictures, but had the camera on normal instead of landscape. All my outdoor shots had a blue tint. I've tried to fix it, but not with perfect success.
Next we found a little grocery store, LIDL. We never did figure out how to use the shopping carts; they were all chained together. I think you had to put a coin in. We did have the foresight to carry a shopping bag, our big Ikea bag we'd picked up in a thrift shop. You have to pay for your plastic bags if you do not have your own bag. We purchased water, wine, jam, mustard, lunchmeat, eggs, gouda and ... pads. Yes, Aunt Flo paid me a surprise visit. Oh yay. I had some supplies, I always carry them, but geeez, falling down, cold sores, the runs and now this? Argh.
Grocery stores ... we went to the LIDL a couple times, and to the nearby and much larger SuperSol. The Supersol is perfect for picnics; it has a deli and a bakery and a nice selection of take away snacks and fresh produce. The LIDL had a larger store, but we only went to the small one. LIDL is cheaper for water and wine, a liter brick of red table wine was Eu69. That's a buck and it lasted all week! G00d stuff. Larry got some "sidre" ... basically hard cider, but it was a little skunky and old.
We decided dinner would be simplest right at the resort. There was one other table with guests. The off season can be very, very slow. We had red wine with our meal because you cannot get a glass of water. Water and wine cost about the same thing. We had delicious calamari to begin; I had chicken curry with "sultanas" (raisins) and Larry had pasta. His was shrimp in a cream alfredo sauce made with sherry. Oh yum. The food and service were very good. Not cheap, the bill ran to Eu28 and then there was a tip. We asked and the waiters shrugged. Whatever you like, they said, this is not like America. Although they only knew we were Americans as they had already asked Larry if he were Australian!
If it seems as though I am fixated on money, indeed I am. We both were concerned for the first couple of days, the dollar is not strong and the tourist and airport facilities are not inexpensive. Once we began finding our way around and shopped locally, we felt a bit better. If we had to pay full resort prices for meals, we'd not have any money leftover at all!
Pictures: a brick of wine, Larry making breakfast, the view of vacation villas from our balcony, us on the beach, a fisherman, LIDL grocery store. I ended up filling my memory card and did not bring a spare. I was smart enough to bring a voltage converter so I could charge my camera battery! I do plan on putting more pictures up on Facebook in albums, and maybe Flickr if I can scrounge up my password.
Tomorrow: the open air market, Dali statues in Marbella, dinner in.

The Gisborne District Council (GDC) were looking to update their urban development strategy, and, in conjunction with both their annual plans and their long-term consultation plans, wanted to revisit their walking and cycling strategy. While their existing strategy was sound it lacked the detail needed to keep the community informed, and they recognised the need to develop a clear, concise plan moving forward.
We conducted stakeholder workshops and undertook a comprehensive review of their annual plan submissions, looking at where walking and cycling fitted into their transport system as a whole. Drawing on the insights gained from this research, coupled with our own knowledge and international trends, we developed a plan for a new network that would integrate walking and cycling into their community's transport system more efficiently.
The ideas and solutions we presented were designed to provide value for money and give the GDC 'more bang for their buck'. Our report clearly identified the important role walking and cycling played in the day-to-day lives of the community and underlined a need to focus more resources and attention on developing this important facet of the city's transport system.

Researchers have grown a new process of transporting particles that utilizes chemical reactions to expostulate liquid upsurge within microfluidic devices. The research, that capitalizes on prior studies in self-powered chemo-mechanical movement, is a partnership between scientists during Penn State's Department of Chemistry and a University of Pittsburgh's Swanson School of Engineering. A paper describing a investigate seemed in a biography Nature Communications.
The total fanciful and initial commentary of a investigate could capacitate controllable float of particles and cells, permitting rarely supportive chemical assays to be achieved some-more fast and efficiently.
"Utilizing catalytic reactions to expostulate fluids to controllably float particulates in resolution is a comparatively new field," pronounced Ayusman Sen, renowned highbrow of chemistry during Penn State and an author of a paper, "even yet it's what a bodies do during any given impulse regulating food as a energy source. Replicating it within a fake complement however is really difficult. In a lab, we were means to pattern a 'machine' but a need for relocating parts, that could be used many times over simply by adding fuel to a chamber, while permitting a molecule to sojourn a pacifist member along for a ride."
"One of a vicious hurdles in transporting microparticles within inclination is delivering a molecule to a specific location," pronounced Anna C. Balazs, renowned highbrow of chemical and petroleum engineering during Pitt and a personality of computational displaying for a investigate team. "Much like a conveyer belt in a factory, we wish to pierce a molecule within a sealed complement but any alteration to a aspect or repairs to a structure."
In further to successfully delivering a particles, a other hurdles a researchers faced were progressing unidirectional upsurge from indicate A to indicate B within a sealed chamber, and ensuring that a vicious thoroughness of these particles could be delivered to sensors, that usually work above a vicious threshold. The resolution was to beget a slope of a chemical reagent between a inlet, indicate A, and a patch of enzymes on a aspect where a reagent is decomposed. A liquid flow, driven by a liquid firmness movement compared with a reagent concentration, represents a "belt" that conveys a load in a resolution to a destination, indicate B.
"Previously, to beget extemporaneous thrust of microparticles, one indispensable to chemically cgange a aspect of these particles, so altering their fundamental properties," pronounced Balazs. "Moreover, modifying a particle's aspect does not indispensably concede we to approach a suit within a chamber. We were means to speculate by a computational models and denote in a experiments achieved during Penn State that a upsurge generated by a catalytic chemical greeting in a cover could effectively float particles to a sold sensor, and could assent control over a speed and instruction of a molecule transport, but carrying to use an outmost siphon or any alteration of a cargo."
"Additionally, one advantage of a float complement described in a paper is a versatility," pronounced Alicia Altemose, a connoisseur tyro during Penn State and coauthor of a paper. "Either fake catalysts or enzymes, that are biocompatible, can be used to expostulate a liquid upsurge in a system."

Trouble Keeping It Up? Researchers Now Know Why
Researchers have long known what needs to happen in the body for a man to get an erection. However, what it took to keep one has been a mystery. But now, researchers have uncovered the chain of events that must unfold to maintain an erection and have published the results in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Researchers said the findings could lead to new therapies for men with erectile dysfunction.
"We've closed a gap in our knowledge," Arthur Burnett, M.D., professor of urology at Johns Hopkins Medicine and the senior author of the study, said in a statement. "We knew that the release of the chemical nitric oxide, a neurotransmitter that is produced in nerve tissue, triggers an erection by relaxing muscles that allow blood to fill the penis. We thought that was just the initial stimulus. In our research, we wanted to understand what happens next to enable that erection to be maintained."

Researchers conducted the study in mice, and found that the penile nerves trigger the release of nitric oxide, which keeps the penis erect -- a key finding. A 20-year-old study first showed that nitric oxide was produced by penile tissue. This most recent study completes the chain.
Now, 20 years later, we know that nitric oxide is not just a blip here or there, but instead it initiates a cyclic system that continues to produce waves of the neurotransmitter from the penile nerves," Burnett said.
Ultimately, the findings could lead to new treatments for erectile dysfunction, researchers said.
"The target for new therapies would be the protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). Now that we know the mechanism for causing the 'activated' form of nNOS in penile nerves, we can develop agents that exploit this mechanism to help with erection difficulties," Burnetet said.
Solomon S. Snyder, another of the study's coauthors, echoed his statement.
"It has been a 20-year journey to complete our understanding of this process," Snyder said. "Now it may be possible to develop therapies to enhance or facilitate the process."

If there's any justice in the world then Thomas Lemar will join Manchester City from Monaco to join their gang of young footballers with lovely quick feet, but L'Equipe say that Chelsea are also sniffing around the 21-year-old France international winger who has claimed ten goals in all competitions this season.
Atletico Madrid may also join the race for the £30m-rated youngster – rated second amongst youngsters in Europe by Football365 and WhoScored – should Antoine Griezmann leave the club for pastures new this summer.
Well, we kid of knew this already but Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has gone public with his desire to lure Zlatan to a city he already loves. It would be quite the coup.
"My dream signing? I always try to go forward with what I have. One that I would like, though, is that giant who is at Manchester United now."
Apparently, it's a 'blow to Manchester United and Chelsea' but did anybody really see James Rodriguez leaving Real Madrid for the Premier League? Here is what he has said after starting Madrid's 3-1 win over Napoli.
"I think everything is going well. Madrid are a big club and I always wanted to be here. Good and bad things always happen but I want to stay here for a lot longer. I always train to play and I want to be here. You always want to play. Now that I have more game time, everything is slowly changing."
Chelsea defender John Terry has rejected offers from three Major League Soccer clubs in the United States and wants to stay at Stamford Bridge…West Ham will sell French left-back Arthur Masuaku in the summer – less than a year after he joined the Hammers on a four-year deal from Olympiakos…Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola will consider a move for Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere.

Well I'm one day on now. Wasn't half as bad as expected more uncomfortable than painful and if it became too bad I just told them and morphine and medazalam were given. Today just have slight discomfort in my chest and upper back which is to be expected. One medic said 'just because you don't have a big cut doesn't mean what's been done is insignificant there's been poking and prodding in your heart so take it easy for s couple of weeks. Feel proud of myself for managing to self administers first Fragmin injection ( can't take warfarin or noacs). Had a couple of leaky groins last night but they seem to be holding up today. Thank you all for your good wishes and fingers it's been a success and I'm AF free

Vintage Wedding with Colour Pop
Jocelyn's wedding colours were cool neutrals, champagne and black. She was thinking about white or neutral colours for her bridemaid's bouquets as well, until her Mom found Dutch Mill Flower Shop. "Mom stumbled across her website and since she and my Oma are Dutch, it was only natural that she set up a meeting with Janice for her ideas. Janice was great. The bridesmaids' dresses were champagne with a black lace overlay; based on that Janice suggested and solidified the idea of a colour pop. The deep red roses are classic – they were really sharp and really popped. And so simple, six roses per bouquet."
The classic red roses were echoed with the boutonnieres for the groom and groomsmen.
Jocelyn's stunning bridal bouquet flowed from her love of all things vintage. " A friend in Waterloo coordinated and had everyone we knew collecting broaches within their families. My Maid of Honour's Mom is very crafty and she gave me a chance to design it to see if I would like it. A month later I saw the photos and was blown away at how perfect it was. It's a forever keepsake for me now."
Jocelyn's Dad is Jamaican, so tropical flowers were on his want list. It was agreed that these were to be stand out pieces. Jocelyn didn't even see the arrangements until she got to the church and was getting married.
"We used two huge tropical displays at the front of the church—Janice pulled them all together in the red and burgundy flowers. I told Janice that I trusted her and gave her free reign and it paid off. After the service we brought the tropical arrangements to the reception venue and placed one at the entryway with the guest book and the other inside by the head table and podium, repurposed. We're Dutch, so I appreciate things like that!"
"My theme was Vintage Rustic so we included old windows, three old ladders, mason jar candles, old black and white photos of our family's weddings for a classic old vintage feel. We did a lot of the decor ourselves. The overall feeling was warm and inviting. There were interesting elements for the guests to connect with. There was a lot of thought put into it also by my parents and my husband's parents. The finishing touches were long stem red roses throughout."
"It was the best day ever; we woke up and it was the perfect fall day. We got engaged in November and were married in October, so the planning was just under a year." The reception was at St. George's Hall in Waterloo. The photographer was Megan Kreller.

Physics Olympics
Discover physics in action as we explore the pure science at the heart of several of your favourite Olympic sports events.
With the Olympics fast approaching, it's not just sport lovers who should be getting excited, but physics fans too. Because whether it's how fast they run, how high they jump or how many records they break, it's the laws of physics that these athletes will really be testing.
In scientific terms all sports can be boiled down to physics – in particular the interaction of natural forces; indeed, any influence that causes an object to change speed, direction or shape. There are many forces at play in the sporting field, from gravity (so common and influential it is known as a 'fundamental' force) to others like friction and resistance, which are explained in Isaac Newton's three laws of motion.
Of course, the athletes are important too, negotiating these forces through a combination of instinct and muscle memory. Ultimately, it's up to you whether you admire Usain Bolt for being an amazing athlete or an unsung master of physics!
So how do these invisible forces contribute to the Olympic events we will be watching this summer? We've taken a look at the pole vault, swimming, the hammer throw and gymnastics, four very different events all governed by the same fundamental rules.
The pole vault
Understanding the science behind sport is hard enough when it's just man versus physics; throw another object into the mix and things get even more complicated.
Pole vaulting, for instance, is based on the same principles as high jump: that is, converting linear momentum into vertical lift.
What makes it different and harder to calculate is the pole, a carbon-fibre tube which is designed to first absorb and then increase kinetic energy (KE) as it bends and flexes. Meanwhile, the athlete still needs perfect timing to ensure the run-up, the plant and the final push over the bar conserve as much potential energy (PE) as possible through these key transitions.
It's a feat that seems more incredible the more you appreciate how many elements have to go just right to achieve the perfect vault – one reason why Sergei Bubka's world record of 6.14 metres (20.14 feet) has stood since 1994.
When you watch someone swimming, it's easy to think they are dragging themselves through the water. However, on the contrary, they are being pushed.
Newton's third law states that to every action force there is an equal, but opposite, reaction force, meaning that as the swimmer kicks with their legs or pulls with their arms, force is applied downwards and backwards, prompting a reactive force from the water pushing the body up and forwards.
Hardly surprising then that the swimmer's top priority is to reduce drag by any means possible – from perfecting dives to developing new suit materials and designs that minimise surface area when in the water.
But that's not all. The faster an object travels through any element, the greater the resistance it encounters. As water is 773 times as dense, and 100 times more resistant, than air, top swimmers need to work harder than, say, top sprinters. Conversely, because of buoyancy, they are less likely to get injured.
Though rarely seen on its own, the somersault lies at the heart of many Olympic gymnastics disciplines. Somersaults are all about maintaining angular momentum (inertia times velocity! while the body is in the air. During the tumble itself, the arms and legs are tucked closely into the body, helping to reduce inertia as it rotates through 360 degrees in either direction. The more height and velocity achieved through each tumble, the more rotations can be completed before gravity has time to pull the athlete back down.
This explains why a single forward or back somersault can be made from a standing start but multiple tumbles, twists and pikes always require a run-up. This increases linear velocity and changes the angle of projection – allowing for several longer, faster and higher tumbles.
The hammer throw
The hammer consists of three separate and independently moving parts: the handle, 1.2-metre (3.9-foot) chain and, for men, 7.3-kilogram (16-pound) ball; the women's hammer weighs almost half that at four kilograms (8.8 pounds). Each part reacts to the same forces in slightly different ways.
The perfect throw is split into three key phases. The first is the winds, where the athlete swings the hammer around their head to build up circular momentum. The second is the turns, one to four rotations that maximise the hammer's PE. And finally the release, which is about judging the right time, angle and height to achieve maximum velocity as a measure of the hammer's kinetic energy.
Additionally, like all throwing and shooting events, wind resistance can play its part. A strong headwind is capable of reducing a throw's potential length by several centimetres.

The Hippocratic oath requires a new physician to swear, by a number of healing gods, to uphold specific ethical standards. The oldest binding documents in history, the Oath written by Hippocrates is still held sacred by physicians: to treat the ill to the best of one's ability, to preserve a patient's privacy, to teach the secrets of medicine to the next generation, and so on.
In the light of the murder of Cecil the Lion, the oath ought to extend and include animal cruelty as well to ensure no rich doctor ever gets away with killing another animal. Although hunters come from all walks of life, the fact that an individual affiliated with the medical profession hunted an animal makes it even more disgusting.
The heartless dentist (I pity his patients) who runs his practice in Minnesota has gone into hiding after the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force charity earlier this week identified him as the slayer of Cecil, a 13-year-old protected lion who drew visitors to Hwange national park and was part of an Oxford University research project.
Palmer, who reportedly paid $50,000 for the hunt earlier this month, faces poaching charges along with Theo Bronkhorst, his guide, and Honest Ndlovu, a local landowner. A court in Victoria Falls released both Zimbabweans on $1,000 bail each on Wednesday. They face up to 10 years in jail.
The cruel 'hunt' is even more horrifying when one gets the details. The seventeen-year-old animal was lured from his reserve with a bait, after which the dentist pierced him with an arrow. The trio tracked the wounded animal for 40 hours before shooting him dead, skinning and beheading him.
Figures as varied as Newt Gingrich, Jimmy Kimmel, Jane Goodall, Lennox Lewis and Neil Gaiman have joined a global outcry. Online, some people have called for Palmer to suffer the same fate as Cecil. Commentators have said the dentist deserves no empathy for now finding himself at the center of a storm.
"He looks more a victim than a conspirator. I can see how it would be possible to think you're on a legitimate hunt and then get into this mess." The likelihood of being caught for killing Cecil, who wore a GPS collar, suggested blunder, not intent, Tichner, a board member of California Houndsmen for Conservation, said.
He defended the hunter in an interview with the Guardian on Wednesday, saying Palmer had a legitimate hunting permit but appeared to have been led astray by the guides.
Some conservationists cautioned against overreaction. Jane Smart, global director of International Union for Conservation of Nature's biodiversity conservation group, said trophy hunting can be a good conservation tool when handled properly and regulated.
"Unregulated sport hunting and trophy hunting is a real factor in the decline of the lion and we are concerned about that. But we are also concerned about the relationship between people and lions. We need to provide that incentive to the local community so they can help conserve the area for their own benefit."

Sana'a-based association of abductees' mothers today mounted a social media campaign to highlight the great suffering of abductees and those forcibly disappeared in jails and detention centers under control of the Houthi militia and forces loyal to ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
"As the world's women are living the joy to celebrate International Women's Day in honor of them, thousands of Yemen's mothers live in sadness and constant worry over their kidnapped sons being held captive behind bars and in prisons of the armed militia without legal justification or charges against them," said the association in a statement.
"The militias have not only abducted thousands of our sons without reason, but also they have tortured some of them to death. 71 abductees have been killed so far. In addition, there are dozens of the disappeared who and we know nothing about or where they are held," added the mothers.
The Association explained that the online campaign launched on social media will continue until March 21 in order to deliver the voices of mothers to the world, which should listen to their pain and have an idea about suffering of their sons in prisons of militias.
