There are two released versions of the song, the version released on Dion's On ne change pas album, and the other on Il Divo's album. The difference is that "Someday I'll find you" is sung by a different member of Il Divo on each album. On Dion's album, the line is sung by Swiss tenor Urs Buhler, and on Il Divo's album it is sung by Spanish baritone Carlos Marín. This is due to them swapping lines, where the other line swapped is part of the harmony in Dion's verse (the second verse). A third version performed entirely in English (Dion's verse included) was also recorded, but never released. Il Divo performs this version in their concerts with tenor David Miller singing Dion's parts.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE ~ CELINE DION

"Have You Ever Been in Love" is a song by Céline Dion, released on April 14, 2003 as the second (promotional only) single in the United States and Canada from the album One Heart. On November 3, 2003 it was released as the third, commercial single in selected European countries."Have You Ever Been in Love" appeared first on Dion's 2002 album A New Day Has Come. Although not changed, it was included on One Heart in 2003.A recording of Dion performing this song in The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas was supposed to be the music video. However, Sony Music Entertainment asked Antti Jokinen to make a new one. The "Have You Ever Been in Love" music video was shot between April 29–30, 2003 in Los Angeles and released on June 2, 2003. It was included later on the enhanced CD single.

"Have You Ever Been in Love" spent fourteen weeks at number 2 on the U.S. Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks, setting a record for most weeks at the second position. Still, it peaked only at number 4 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles, spending twenty four weeks on this chart.

In October 2008, "Have You Ever Been in Love" was included on the European version of My Love: Ultimate Essential Collection greatest hits. Some years after the album's release, a sheet of paper with Spanish lyrics for this song leaked into the Internet. Céline's signature appeared on the sheet as well as phonetical notes under the adapted lyrics. The title came to be "¿Sabes Cómo Es El Amor?" and next to it appeared the original title in brackets ("Have you Ever Been In Love?"), so a Spanish version for this song is rumoured to have been also recorded, though it remains unreleased to this day. The date in the sheet was May/06/03, so it is not certain whether it was recorded for her 2003 "One Heart" album (probably to offer a different version of the song) or for her 2002 "A New Day Has Come" album. However, the English version was the one finally included in the "One Heart" album."Have You Ever Been in Love" was covered by Aretha Franklin for her live performances.

What's Extended Auto Warranty About?

You might be asking why there is such thing as extended auto warranty. What is it for? Is it really necessary to get such service? What benefits can you gain from it in return?
Well, the answer is very simple. Auto Warranty usually expired and commonly take just 3 years and 36,000 miles. Obviously speaking, Extended Auto Warranty will extend the length of time provided by that company.
If it's necessary, yes it is since we can never tell what will happened to the car after 3 years and to avoid ourselves from future heavy expenses, then better get an extended auto warranty before the given time runs out.
The services and the coverages are almost the same and it's more like renewing your contract with that company. Usually, you can apply for an Extended Auto Warranty directly to the auto dealer shop where you bought the car but you can also get one in some auto insurance dealer.
Modern advancement even made the application much easier because we can now apply for an Extended Auto Warranty online.
Yes, there are reputable auto insurance sites that offer such benefits.
If you guys are interested, you can check http://www.autowarranty411.com/ and see what else the site has to offer for you.
Have a great day and happy blogging to all.

Children Photography

My auntie was kinda obsess with photos especially when it comes to his son. She used to save a lot of photos and store them in her photo albums. I'm amazed because she managed to take pictures of her son when he was just a toddler. My cousin is now in college and the only way my aunt can recall those moments that she spent with her son is by looking at those precious photos of her.
They said that children photography is one of the hardest type especially on toddlers because they occasionally cry or have tantrums. They don't even know how to focus because their paying attention in so many things that's why most moms who want to have a nice photo of their kids their their children in a professional studio because those photographers know how to manage such situation.
It sure takes a lot of patience and trials before you can take a good shot of your kids. I have been in a studio before and they usually give the kids some toys or anything else that can focus their attention which will give those photographers a chance to take good shots.
Once you have fantastic photos of your child, you'll feel like you don't want to lose them and that's exactly what my Auntie did.

Do It Yourself

Do you know how to fix your own car? Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix anything and I don't even know how to start the basic car troubleshooting. I know that it is really necessary for every car owner to at least know how to fix their own car in case there's some minor technical issues.
How if the engine fails while you're in the middle of driving? How if there's no auto repair shop near you? What will you do? I don't think it's nice to leave your car in the middle of nowhere! It can be quite risky too. That's why i think it's very important to have a brief knowledge about auto repair.
But of course, when it comes to major technical issues, those that can't be repaired by a single person, then the best way to do is to bring your car to a reputable auto repair shop.
Just make sure you bring it to a place similar to that Auto Body Phoenix Service in Arizona. They are well trusted, their technicians are well trained and they have been in the industry for a very long time. I'm sure they can fix the trouble in no time.
It's true that Auto repair can be a "Do It Yourself" work but if you don't know how to fix it at all, then better not take the risk and bring it to an auto repair shop instead.
Well, in case you're looking for a reputable shop in Arizona, don't hesitate to visit "Ultra Collision", a reputable collision repair and auto body shop in Arizona at http://www.ultracollision.com.

Home Remodeling Tips

Remodeling is something cannot be done overnight. It has to be planned to make your house look nicer and happy to live. However, not everyone can plan or conceptualize the design of their own house unless they have knowledge about designing or they are really just creative individual. So for the design, I think it is much better if you hire an architect, an Interior designer or other Remodeling masters to create your home remodeling ideas.
Of course, you will then implement the plan by getting a Remodeling service. Better choose the right remodeling service and get it from a reputable company for better and satisfying result. You can also choose the right materials to be used for your house. The higher the quality, the better the result. But of course, it all depends on your budget.
We want our house to look best right? That's why we should only give nothing but the best for it. And besides, as the house owner, we are also the one who will get benefit from it in return.
Good luck to your house remodeling guys!

Marble and Granite Finishing, which is the best?

When it comes to finishing materials, only Granite and Marble are considered to meet the so called highest standards. They will make your kitchen more appealing and elegant. Most modern kitchens and bathrooms have either marble or granite finishing. They are indeed very in demand today not just because of their extreme qualities that will make your kitchen more appealing but also because of their strong durability that no other materials can provide.
Well, witch among Granite and marvel provide the best quality? They said that both provide the same but granite is considered much better because marble is more porous which is therefore much prone to staining but of course it depends upon how frequently you maintain it.
Like ceramic and vinyl tiles, both of them have huge varieties, colors and designs too, giving you a more creative and artistic outlook for your beloved kitchen. I think it doesn't matter whether you choose Marble or granite for your kitchen, what matters most is that you regularly keep them clean.
But in case you are interested with granite oakland, don't hesitate to visit http://www.marblecityca.com. They are well known for providing high quality granite and marble materials. Check them out.

MY HEART WILL GO ON ~ CELINE DION

"My Heart Will Go On" is the theme song of the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic. With music by James Horner, lyrics by Will Jennings, and production by Walter Afanasieff, it was recorded by Céline Dion. Originally released in 1997 on Dion's album Let's Talk About Love, it went to number 1 all over the world, including the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. "My Heart Will Go On" was released in Australia and Germany on December 8, 1997, and in the rest of the world in January and February 1998. It became Dion's biggest hit, and one of the best-selling singles of all time, and was the world's best-selling single of 1998. After the song had become a huge worldwide hit, many movie studios and record labels tried to duplicate its impact. Although many soundtrack singles had become hits before "My Heart Will Go On," a string of similar songs followed afterward, such as Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" from Armageddon and Faith Hill's "There You'll Be" from Pearl Harbor. Each followed in the footsteps of the "Titanic" theme, a love ballad for a tragedy. Although those two songs became hits, they did not achieve the success of "My Heart Will Go On." Horner himself repeated the formula of making a song from his film themes with films such as A Beautiful Mind, Bicentennial Man, The Perfect Storm, and Avatar.
