<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Today is Guruvayoor Ekadashi.</p>
<p>My wife observes it by abstaining from eating rice. In the evening she will fast.</p>
<p>In the early morning, we all went to the Guruvayoorappan temple at Mayurvihar, Phase 1, in Delhi.</p>
<p>I wonder if Ekadashi (eleventh day after full moon/ new moon) is observed any where in the north India!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Traditionally weddings always took place during the day mostly in the afternoon.  However, like everything else in the world this has changed.  Evening weddings have gained in popularity and more and more couples are choosing to have their wedding in the evening time.  For many couples getting married the evening is a special time of romance and therefore the ideal time for a wedding.</p>
<p>An evening wedding can be a wonderful occasion for people to mingle and chat with old friends and family members that they have not seen for a long time.  It also provides time for best friends to just have a great time together and enjoying dancing, music, drinks and cake.  What better way to celebrate and have fun then an evening wedding.  However, there is a certain etiquette that needs to be followed with an evening wedding and it is important to know the rules beforehand so you can come prepared and enjoy yourself.</p>
<p>As with many of the rules and etiquette guidelines of a wedding much of an evening wedding etiquette revolves around attire.  It is therefore important to carefully plan what you will wear to an evening wedding.  This article will help you make some of the important decisions on what to wear.</p>
<p>Bride and Grooms</p>
<p>According to most wedding etiquette guides and manuals there is not many special instructions for a evening wedding.  They will end up wear the same attire they would for a daytime wedding.  So they do not have much to worry about.</p>
<p>Attire and Dress for the Guests</p>
<p>However for the guests this is a little more complicated of an issue.  They need to carefully think about what they will wear.  The first thing to consider when choosing an outfit for a wedding is the wedding invitation.  If you still have it good you will want to go back and check what the wedding invitation said if anything about the attire.  Keep in mind the invitation might say something directly like “black tie event” or “Formal Event” or it might say something indirectly.  If the wedding invitation is going to take place in the evening on the beach and the invitation has a beach theme to it then you can assume that the attire is less formal.</p>
<p>A good guide is to always be safe instead of sorry and the best way to ensure your are appropriately dressed is to call the bride or groom ahead of time.  For the men trying to decide what to wear a call to the groom can make the decision easy.  For the woman who is trying to make this difficult decision it can be smart to call the bride and ask her about the wedding and proper attire for the event.  It is smart for women to also ask about color and themes of the wedding and pick clothes based on these.</p>
<p>For Men</p>
<p>If it is a formal wedding then men should wear a tuxedo or at least a very nice subtle suit.  Often if you are not sure it is best to error on the side of being over dressed for the even and a dark colored suit traditionally looks the most formal.  If you get there and feel out of place you can always take off the jacket and loosen the tie and you will fit right in.</p>
<p>For the Women</p>
<p>This is a bit more complicated and should be planned carefully.  The most important aspect for women is to pick something attractive and something that is flattering yet not to much.  You will want to make sure you look your best and catch a few of the men’s eyes at the event.  However you don’t want to catch to many people’s eyes and look to great.  It is important that you don’t steal the fire and attention from the bride.  So the guide is to wear something that looks nice and but it should be subtle and understated or you risk making a quick enemy.</p>
<p>When choosing clothes and thinking about evening wedding etiquette again it is important to take the time and plan ahead.  The best advice is to call the bride or groom and ask for some suggestions or ideas.  They will often be more then happy and it is a great chance to talk with them a little before their big day.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>What you wear defines your sense of style. It portrays the framework of your mind. Hence, there is no doubt that a person should carefully analyze a piece of accessory that he wishes to purchase for himself, because he will probably be judged by what he wears.</p>
<p>A man looks incomplete if he does not have a wristwatch that is trendy and suits his personality. He might even be taken as a careless person. Consequently, for this purpose, it is essential that proper analysis and selection of a wristwatch be carried out.</p>
<p>Each individual has a different lifestyle. You should opt for wristwatches that complement with your lifestyle. It will be seemingly awkward if you wear a watch that does not meshes well with the kind of life you live. If you usually have evenings, that are more formal, for example, your work involves business dinners or you usually go out to expensive restaurants with friends and families then you should opt for formal watches.</p>
<p>If you want a watch that signifies luxury and style, you can go for a watch with platinum or gold bracelet. Since gold is not only expensive but a soft metal too and can be scratched easily, wearing it for evening events is preferable. On the contrary, for a casual evening you don&#8217;t need to wear a luxurious watch; a casual one with a strap of fabric, rubber, or leather should do justice.</p>
<p>The next thing to worry about is the right size of your wristwatch. Watches come in a variety of sizes. It is important to choose the right one according to the personality of the wearer. Men&#8217;s watches are available in 38 to 42 mm diameter. Watches with big diameter are obviously more noticeable. For an evening wear, men can prefer having a round or a square shaped watch. Chronograph timepieces usually display round sub-dials on their dials. Majority of men&#8217;s dress watches have round cases.</p>
<p>Square case watches are more often used for men&#8217;s large and extra large timepieces. They give an overall heavy and rich look to the wrist. One should also select the color of the watch appropriately. Gold and silver tend to give a luxurious look. Black and browns are also men&#8217;s hot favorites. They give a formally decent look to the wrist. In my personal perspective, colorful watches should be avoided. They go better with day wear and that for an informal event.</p>
<p>Some men wear sports watches for evening events. It is better not to go for them unless your evening is actually affiliated with sports. Some people are brand-conscious. Leading brands for men&#8217;s watches include <b>Tag</b> <b>Heuer</b>, Cartier, Mont Blanc etc. The watch market gets flooded with new collections every now and then.</p>
<p>It is important to select the watch that is up-to-date in terms of fashion and style. The combination of comfort and style should never be compromised on. Purchase a watch that complements with your evening outfits and suits your personality in a way that it speaks your language.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_39" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://petitsmorceaux.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/photo1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-39" title="photo" src="http://petitsmorceaux.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/photo1.jpg" alt="pick me up, knock you down." width="450" height="338" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">pick me up, bring you down</p></div>
<p>I walked down the hospital halls, hating everything about it. It always seemed so much more depressing during the holidays, the loneliness and despair seemed exponentially apparent. Sick people are an eyesore, and being alone when families and friends come together&#8230; it just makes them look so sad and pathetic.</p>
<p>My parents and siblings were inside entertaining a great uncle whom none of us knew very well. I was sent to the lounging area to pick up a couple of cokes and a bag of peanuts because everyone was a bit hungry.</p>
<p>I walked to the vending machines in the lounge. The coke machine was jammed. But they had chewy candies in the snack machine. I grabbed a few of those, stuffed them in my pockets, grabbed a packet of peanuts and headed back out. I didn&#8217;t want to go back to that awful room, so I walked. Slowly. I peered into every room I walked past, and most of them looked lonely and miserable. I kept walking, feeling more and more depressed with each room I passed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Shit, where is that thing!? Ugh!&#8221;</p>
<p>I walked in, curious about the chaos that was going on in the room. I don&#8217;t normally like to intrude, but this girl (maybe she was a young woman, I don&#8217;t know) just looked like she was having trouble.</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s going on? Do you want me to help you look for something?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yea, I just misplaced the stupid remote control for the TV.&#8221;</p>
<p>We looked around, and it was stuck in the sofa chair on the other side of the room. I handed it to her.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thanks.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No problem. Happy Thanksgiving.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yea, you too.&#8221;</p>
<p>I headed out. Stopped mid-way. I was not in any hurry to return to my bitter great uncle whom I barely knew.</p>
<p>&#8220;..Hey, if you don&#8217;t mind me asking, why are you here?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;For a lot of reasons. Mainly because of a relapse-overdose, and also because I tried to eat my weight in salt.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure I understand&#8230; you ate plain salt? Why&#8217;d you do that?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I told my bastard boyfriend&#8211;no, EX-boyfriend&#8211;that I was trying to clean up for good because I wasn&#8217;t happy going down this path. He wasn&#8217;t having that and basically tried to stop me.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Wow.&#8221; I sat down. This sounded like something I wanted to hear about.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yea. Getting high became the core of my existence and I knew I was killing my family. The other times I said I was going to be sober, they believed me and they trusted that I would really work at it. I&#8217;d go 8 hours without anything, and I&#8217;d just say &#8216;fuck it&#8217; and go back. After a while, they got sick of that shit and stopped talking to me altogether. It was kind of heartbreaking so I used more and more, like I was really sliding down the slippery slope. Fast. And then one day I was at a bus stop high and a little old lady stood by me. She asked me if the bus I was waiting for stopped at a certain stop. I said yea. She said thanks, and I thought she&#8217;d just walk away or go sit down on the bench, but instead, she just kept staring. She was giving me the creeps so I was on the verge of telling her off when I saw that she was crying. I asked her why she was crying and she told me that I looked just like her daughter.&#8221;</p>
<p>I gave her a strange look.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yea I know. Why would she stare and cry because I look at her daughter, right? So she tells me that her daughter died in a car accident a few years back and I tell her that she has my sympathies. I wanted her to go away, but she just keeps standing there. So I ask her what kind of relationship she had with her daughter, and she says that they stopped talking ten years ago because they had an argument about something stupid. Really stupid. And they were both really stubborn and didn&#8217;t want to apologize. Neither did, they both walked away, and didn&#8217;t speak after that. &#8230;.forever, now.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Wow.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yea, and it&#8217;s not the same as my situation, but it hit me that if I kept using the way I did, I&#8217;d die and my mom and I would never talk again. We used to be so close, you know? And then I went down a path that basically drove me away from her. I miss her a lot and knowing that I&#8217;m doing this to her kills her. I knew that all along, but this was the final straw. So I went to my boyfriend that I was calling it quits for real. Like for real. I told him that if his ass wasn&#8217;t ready to do it with me, that we weren&#8217;t going to be together anymore. And that I didn&#8217;t want him in my life anymore.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So what&#8217;d he do?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He cried like a fucking baby is what he did. I told him to choose. Rocks. Or me. Whichever was more important. But that motherfucker, he told me he couldn&#8217;t decide, that he needed both and that he knew I wasn&#8217;t ready to quit anyway. I walked out of that apartment with a suitcase with my clothes, told him I&#8217;d be back for the rest of my stuff and walked down the street. Thank god my cousin took me in; my brother and sister would never have let me crash after my last relapse.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s cool that you had someone to take you in like that. Your cousin must be cool.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yea, Corinne, she&#8217;s awesome. She believed me when I said I was done with all the bullshit. She let me stay. She kept me on the straight and narrow, you know? I never felt so strong sober as when I was with her.&#8221; She started to tear up. &#8220;I mean, what a fucking champion for life, she is. I can&#8217;t believe I let her down like that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What happened?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So it was a few weeks I had gone without snorting anything, without smoking anything, without drinking anything, and I was was so proud of myself. I didn&#8217;t need no fucking rehab like those shits I used to watch on TV. And then I get a call from my ex-boyfriend&#8217;s sister telling me to come over, that it was urgent and I really needed to be there. So, I haul ass and get over to find him crouched over, looking pale as shit and a little bloodied up. The motherfucker tried to kill himself. Some shit about how he needed me and that if I wasn&#8217;t there then there was nothing worth living for. I mean he&#8217;s said some crazy shit before, but he&#8217;s never cut himself or anything. That&#8217;s when I started freaking out.<br />
I called my cousin and she was like &#8216;Hannah calm down, he&#8217;s not dead, and you know he exaggerates all the time. He&#8217;s a pathological liar drug addict blah blah blah and he probably stepped on something sharp and tried to play it off like he was going to kill himself. Take everything he says with a grain of salt.&#8217; And I was like yea, that&#8217;s right. That&#8217;s right. I hung up with her feeling all okay, and then I turn around to see him with a kitchen knife at his throat threatening to kill himself if I didn&#8217;t come back. I told him that I didn&#8217;t want anything to do with him, and he goes &#8216;I fucking know that&#8217;s a lie. Why else would all your shit still be here?&#8217;<br />
He was right. I didn&#8217;t want him out of my life forever. We went through everything together and he&#8217;s been my rock. But he&#8217;s also been my enabler. I started crying and then Ben&#8217;s sister told me that he&#8217;d better get to the hospital before he passes out from losing too much blood.<br />
I sat on the couch for hours and just cried. I cried and cried and fucking cried because I knew I couldn&#8217;t do it. He left powder on the coffee table. I took it. I took that and then I found the pills I stashed a few months back. I took those too. And then I thought about what Corinne said, about taking shit with a grain of salt. A grain of salt? I&#8217;ll take it with a whole fucking barrel of salt. I started eating these mass amounts of salt, and then I passed out. Next thing I know, I wake up to bright lights and all my family around me. You know, it&#8217;s fucking amazing how much these people love me.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Wow. So, you&#8217;ve been here since?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yea, I&#8217;ve been in recovery for a bit&#8211;my therapist doesn&#8217;t let me take a look at a calendar or anything. He says it&#8217;s triggering for me and that it&#8217;s best to take it day by day or something like that. I didn&#8217;t even know it was Thanksgiving until everyone showed up with these weird looking plants.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Gourds.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yea&#8230; those. I mean it&#8217;s crazy spending Thanksgiving in the hospital, seeing all these people without families, just waiting to die. I have all these people around me who want me to get better because they love me. It kind of puts things in a different perspective, you know?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yea.&#8221;</p>
<p>While I couldn&#8217;t say that I would start respecting my great uncle more, I started to think about the things I was thankful for this holiday. My mom, no matter how naggy, my dad, no matter how pious, and my sister, no matter how bitchy, are always there. Even if I do take things they say with a grain of salt, they don&#8217;t try to manipulate me or try to hurt me. Maybe I should cut down on the sodium intake.</p>

<description><![CDATA[I sit gazing in the mirror as all of the half-naked dancers hurry around me, changing, doing makeup,]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I sit gazing in the mirror as all of the half-naked dancers hurry around me, changing, doing makeup, going over steps, chit-chatting.  The dressing tables are lined with flowers and gifts, standard for closing night.  This will be my last performance, very last, and I marinate in the atmosphere.  I take my time applying makeup, being sure to color my lips extra dark red so that I don&#8217;t look washed out on stage.  You can never have too much eyeliner.  Under the stage lights, even an excessive amount looks natural.  I do my hair up in a twist, extra tight to make it through a hat piece and lots of pirouettes.  I just used the entire sheet of bobby-pins and a half can of hairspray.  Dancers stop by to give hugs and thanks for all the hard work during rehearsals.  The noise comes in through my ears and ricochets inside my head as the colorful costumes make streaking patterns behind me through the mirror.</p>
<p>Knowing that the end is near, that this will be the last time I look out into an audience from the stage, the routine becomes a bit much for me.  I can feel the tears welling up in my newly made-up eyes.  I put on my tights, my dress and my dance shoes.  I grab my hat and head down to the stage a little early.  There are a few dancers on the stage, stretching before the show starts, and I join in on the silent meditation.  I can hear the din of the theatre crowd making their way to their seats on the other side of the curtain.  Countdown to the show&#8217;s start.  I am performing in the first three numbers, a montage of oldies cleverly put together by my favorite choreographer, in which the middle number is a quirky duet, just Robert and yours truly.</p>
<p>The opening-number dancers are on stage now and the stage hands are motioning for us to take our places as they step off stage, into the wings.  They look like Gap employees, dressed head-to-toe in black and sporting a headset.  I step up and take my place front and center as the theatre lighting slowly dims to pitch black.  I hear the announcements begin to play, &#8220;Welcome to the Lyceum Theatre…&#8221;  I stand silent and fixed, waiting for the lights to come up, the music to play, and for the curtain to open.   Then, I feel a draft.</p>
<p>Oh my god, I forgot to put on my panties.  Beads of sweat start building on my face, even before the lights are up, even before I start moving.  Maybe they won&#8217;t notice.  Images of the dance steps pass through my memory, I do a hand stand right before I straddle Robert upside down and then he proceeds to swing me around like a ragdoll.  Surely they will notice!  I look toward one of the stagehands and give the signal to hold the curtain, assuming that waving your arms frantically and running off stage is the industry recognized signal.  I run past the dancers waiting in the wings, back to the dressing room, turn my bag upside down, emptying its entire contents onto the floor.  I dig through the pile for a sign of black spandex material, so small, so small, where are you?  The other dancers are looking at me as if I&#8217;ve lost my mind.  Ah ha!  I jump up with the grace-saving undies, hop into them, I&#8217;m pretty sure with both feet simultaneously, (and you thought it couldn&#8217;t be done, I know you&#8217;ve tried), as I rush back onto stage and back on my mark.  Not a moment passes before the curtain parts, the music starts and the lights come up.  Show-time!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So this past Monday night Jake and I were invited to join the Caldwell family for family night.  Can I just say <strong>FUN!!</strong> We played Uno and it was <em>soooOOoo-o</em> much fun to just play!  Eli is such a character.  There was a point where we kept on increasing my Dad&#8217;s deck and all the adults kept on going &#8220;ooooh&#8221; and laughing.  Eli felt that he should join in and so he covered his mouth with his little hand and giggled with delight.  I thought it was so adorable.</p>

<p>Deep within the night, tucked inside of a little house on a hill, there is a girl who is waiting.<br />
Waiting on nothing in particular, but knows she&#8217;s waiting for something.</p>
<p>The little house on the hill is quiet, the sound birthed by slumber.</p>
<p>Muffled, she moves about the house. Mixing words on paper, typing in the paint. Preparing tea, but then switching to martinis. Her left argyle sock is slouching, and her back is straight as an arrow as she&#8217;s stretching.</p>
<p>She hears a whirlwind somewhere out in the night.<br />
Despite what could be lurking, she opens the arched door to the outside.</p>
<p>Sitting on her porch,</p>
<p>Nothing.</p>
<p>Disappointed,<br />
She goes back inside.</p>
<p>She thought for sure, there would be something, someone.</p>

<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t you feel so lost in the city?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No, I know my way around and when I&#8217;m in a part I don&#8217;t know, I have a map or my GPS handy.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No, not like that. You know, just lost. Without purpose.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What do you mean?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so big and uninviting and everyone&#8217;s in cars; no one talks to each other. Doesn&#8217;t it get lonely?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I guess it is a little lonely sometimes. But I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ve ever felt lost. Maybe.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yea. I don&#8217;t think I could ever live in a place where I didn&#8217;t know the people around me, or had to walk home after dark, clutching onto my things in fear.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>&#8220;It sure is pretty though, isn&#8217;t it?&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>What a great night! Ok, I only made the latter part of it because I had to work until 9pm, but everybody looked to be having a fabby time. I got there just in time to see the raffle draw, and missed out on the High School Musical advent calendar &#8211; darnit!</p>
<p>Huge congratulations to all our prize winners, and we hope you like your rosettes! Doreen tells us that&#8217;s it for the pom-poms now, and I can&#8217;t wait to see what she comes up with next.</p>
<p>I missed the food, but rumour has it, it was very nice. Great to see so many people dancing, and the glow sticks (and party hats!) went down a treat &#8211; you only have to look at the photos which you can find on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&#38;id=1515271744#/album.php?aid=138029&#38;id=82580315317&#38;ref=mf">Facebook</a>!</p>
<p>Next year we might do a fancy dress theme - any suggestions?</p>
<p>Once again a huge congratulations to our champions, and we look forward to seeing you fight for your titles (not literally of course) next year.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We are hanging out on Scott&#8217;s porch one perfect evening, Scott, Capt., and myself.   I always love spending time with Scott.  Not only is he the most understanding and the least judgmental person I can call a true friend, but he is also an excellent story teller.  I&#8217;m not sure if he&#8217;s ever told the truth.  All of his stories happened before I knew him, and I&#8217;ve known him for quite a while.  Each story involves a different lady or ladies, every one beautiful and each one gifted with god-given, perfectly round ta-tas.  The bonus of making a second home on Scott&#8217;s couch is that his quaint cottage rests a mere block from Beacon&#8217;s beach &#8212; a perfect break for beginner surfers, like me.</p>
<p>This is a typical San Diego night complete with warm air and an unobstructed sky.  The temperature did not fluctuate more than 2 degrees the entire day and settles at 70 for the remainder of the night.  All day there was a slight on-shore breeze that has now switched to an off-shore direction.  I hope it stays this way for a couple of hours into the sunrise tomorrow.  Being so far north of the city, thus not washed-out by the illumination of the city lights, and teetering on the edge of the earth invites every star to pop right out of the sky and into our world.  The porch light is turned off and we allow time for our eyes to adjust to the natural starlight.  Within a couple of minutes we can see detail again.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m trying to balance on the Indo board, a small wood plank set on top of a cylinder lying on its side.  The purpose is to gain balance.  I get the impression that its victims mostly gain bruises, scratches, and in some cases broken bones.  The gizmo is unbelievably difficult to handle, and I think you need to have better balance than an avid surfer to even attempt it.  I cheat and use the wall as a crutch.  Scott goes on about who&#8217;s sleeping with who at The Diner.  Capt. lights up another cigarette.</p>
<p>From a distance we hear the telling whistle of a locomotive.  The heaviness of the subdued thundering coming our way tells us it is not just a small, 6-car commuter train, but a long and weighty freight train.  Scott yells at us to follow as he runs toward the gate.  We run across the street and through the small grass park toward the tracks.  We make it just in time to catch the second half of the train go by.  Scott stands 2 feet back from the cars as they rush by at full speed and he encourages us to join him.  I step up to within 3 feet, that is close enough for me.  The cars go by so fast that everything is a blur &#8212; it&#8217;s impossible to focus.  My world shakes and my whole body vibrates in sync with the mound of rocks I am standing on, the same rocks that the track ties are buried in.  The sound is deafening.  The wind lifts the hair from my neck.  The thrill makes the hair on my body stand up.  I can feel the wind wisp around each strand and it&#8217;s like the wind is under my skin.  I look to my left and see Scott&#8217;s face smiling back at me.  It is so strange have my vision split into two worlds: one world so fast it is impossible to grasp; the other still and reassuring.  I look to my right and I see Capt. smiling.  I look forward again, blured, and realize I am smiling.</p>
<p>As the last car rushes past, my world comes back.  I can focus on the mini-mart across the street and I look to see the caboose swiftly disappear around a curve as its horn blows us a farewell toot.  What remains is the adrenaline rush.  I will my noodly legs to carry me back to the porch.  Capt. picks up his still-burning cigarette and resumes puffing.  The conversation picks up right where it fell off.  The only noticeable difference is the wide smiles we all wear.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>[<a title="Descarga ITLAOTE" href="http://rapidshare.com/files/299526736/2009EITLAOTE.zip" target="_blank">Descargar</a>][<a title="Escuchar Spotify" href="http://open.spotify.com/search/editors+in+this+light+and+on+this+evening" target="_blank">Escuchar en Spotify</a>][<a title="Conseguir Spotify" href="http://stereowriter.wordpress.com/2009/11/01/spotify-gratis-y-sin-invitacion/" target="_blank">¿No tienes Spotify?</a>]</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong><em>In This Light And On This Evening</em></strong> es el tercer álbum de los británicos <strong>Editors</strong>. Con él, han decidido dar un paso más allá para no encasillarse en su anterior estilo, tan criticado por ser muy similar al de otros grupos como Joy Division o Interpol, y han subido el volumen de la <strong>electrónica</strong> y disminuído el de las <strong>guitarras eléctricas</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Editors - ITLAOTE" src="http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/6491/urlg.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Este nuevo álbum, lanzado el <strong>13 de octubre</strong> de 2009, se separa del anterior modelo de guitarras electricas + épica y se sumerge en un ambiente <strong>más oscuro</strong> y profundo, un ambiente creado por una <strong>electrónica perfecta</strong> utilizada en los momentos perfectos. El primer single, y el único hasta ahora, es &#8216;<strong><em>Papillon</em></strong>&#8216;, cuyo videoclip podréis ver un poco más adelante.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Tracklist</strong>:</p>

</ol>
<p>De entrada, la primera track, la que le da nombre al disco, nos <strong>abruma</strong> con la nueva oscuridad creada por Editors en este álbum. &#8216;<em>In This Light And On This Evening</em>&#8216; fue inspirada, según el vocalista y letrista <strong>Tom Smith</strong>, en un cierto momento del día en el que se encontró a sí mismo mirando unos edificios de Londres, y supo que era lo más bonito que había visto en su vida, y de eso trata la propia canción. A continuación podéis ver un <strong>directo</strong>, en el que se aprecia muy bien que no son sólo <strong>buenos en el estudio</strong>, sino <strong>espectaculares en vivo</strong> también.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/i6UTmsAHkBI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/i6UTmsAHkBI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Poco después en el tracklist, nos encontramos con el single: &#8216;<strong><em>Papillon</em></strong>&#8216;. Esta canción es la que más mantiene el parecido con los esquemas seguidos en el anterior álbum, <a title="An End Has A Start - StereoWriter" href="http://stereowriter.wordpress.com/2009/11/02/editors-an-end-has-a-start-2007/" target="_blank"><em>An End Has A Start (2007)</em></a>.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Wq4tyDRhU_4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Wq4tyDRhU_4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>&#8216;<strong><em>You Don&#8217;t Know Love</em></strong>&#8216; es una más de las esenciales del álbum. Aquí se observa quizá mucho mejor el cambio que han dado que en el resto de tracks. La electrónica y la <strong>profundidad de la voz</strong> de Smith son <strong>claves</strong>.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/jNmsobZelI0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/jNmsobZelI0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>A partir de &#8216;<em><strong>This House Is Full Of Noise</strong></em>&#8216;, son todas bonus tracks, ésta incluída, que sólo se pudieron obtener en las tiendas de UK cuando el álbum salió a la venta. Os dejo con esta por último ya, para no extender mucho más, pero <a title="Escuchar Spotify ITLAOTE" href="http://open.spotify.com/search/editors+in+this+light+and+on+this+evening" target="_blank">escuchadlo en Spotify</a> al menos, que no tiene desperdicio.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/gyUNkkU0QnQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/gyUNkkU0QnQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Today was actually kind of a good day.  I wilffully avoided any loops and succeeded for the most part.  I just don&#8217;t give a fuck anymore.  LOL.  Maybe that&#8217;s good?  I don&#8217;t know.  But I was also real busy today too.  Plus, I poured myself into my classes and teaching them today.  Maybe that&#8217;s a good diversion- even though i can&#8217;t stand teaching really.  LOL.  But maybe stress takes away stress?  Hmm..</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Traditionally weddings always took place during the day mostly in the afternoon.  However, like everything else in the world this has changed.  Evening weddings have gained in popularity and more and more couples are choosing to have their wedding in the evening time.  For many couples getting married the evening is a special time of romance and therefore the ideal time for a wedding.</p>
<p>An evening wedding can be a wonderful occasion for people to mingle and chat with old friends and family members that they have not seen for a long time.  It also provides time for best friends to just have a great time together and enjoying dancing, music, drinks and cake.  What better way to celebrate and have fun then an evening wedding.  However, there is a certain etiquette that needs to be followed with an evening wedding and it is important to know the rules beforehand so you can come prepared and enjoy yourself.</p>
<p>As with many of the rules and etiquette guidelines of a wedding much of an evening wedding etiquette revolves around attire.  It is therefore important to carefully plan what you will wear to an evening wedding.  This article will help you make some of the important decisions on what to wear.</p>
<p>Bride and Grooms</p>
<p>According to most wedding etiquette guides and manuals there is not many special instructions for a evening wedding.  They will end up wear the same attire they would for a daytime wedding.  So they do not have much to worry about.</p>
<p>Attire and Dress for the Guests</p>
<p>However for the guests this is a little more complicated of an issue.  They need to carefully think about what they will wear.  The first thing to consider when choosing an outfit for a wedding is the wedding invitation.  If you still have it good you will want to go back and check what the wedding invitation said if anything about the attire.  Keep in mind the invitation might say something directly like “black tie event” or “Formal Event” or it might say something indirectly.  If the wedding invitation is going to take place in the evening on the beach and the invitation has a beach theme to it then you can assume that the attire is less formal.</p>
<p>A good guide is to always be safe instead of sorry and the best way to ensure your are appropriately dressed is to call the bride or groom ahead of time.  For the men trying to decide what to wear a call to the groom can make the decision easy.  For the woman who is trying to make this difficult decision it can be smart to call the bride and ask her about the wedding and proper attire for the event.  It is smart for women to also ask about color and themes of the wedding and pick clothes based on these.</p>
<p>For Men</p>
<p>If it is a formal wedding then men should wear a tuxedo or at least a very nice subtle suit.  Often if you are not sure it is best to error on the side of being over dressed for the even and a dark colored suit traditionally looks the most formal.  If you get there and feel out of place you can always take off the jacket and loosen the tie and you will fit right in.</p>
<p>For the Women</p>
<p>This is a bit more complicated and should be planned carefully.  The most important aspect for women is to pick something attractive and something that is flattering yet not to much.  You will want to make sure you look your best and catch a few of the men’s eyes at the event.  However you don’t want to catch to many people’s eyes and look to great.  It is important that you don’t steal the fire and attention from the bride.  So the guide is to wear something that looks nice and but it should be subtle and understated or you risk making a quick enemy.</p>
<p>When choosing clothes and thinking about evening wedding etiquette again it is important to take the time and plan ahead.  The best advice is to call the bride or groom and ask for some suggestions or ideas.  They will often be more then happy and it is a great chance to talk with them a little before their big day.</p>
