G-Cloud sales hit £345m but local government uptake remains low

Google spent more on US lobbying efforts than any other technology firm in America, according to statistics from the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP).
Google reportedly outpaced Microsoft in lobbyist spending by $14.3m over 2012, more than $7m than the Redmond software maker. The search giant spent its funds lobbying the US government on patent, antitrust, and telecommunications issues.
According to Nick Nyhart, chief executive and president of non-profit campaign reform group The Public Campaign, tech firms have started to spend like the oil companies and banks before them.
Nyhart told V3 that as Silicon Valley has become more profitable, they've also become more influential in Washington.
"As the tech companies have grown, and eat up a larger amount of the country's GDP, they moved to the kind of activities that the oil companies, the banks, and the pharmaceutical companies have done for years," said Nyhart.
"And that is to protect their interests and advocate the policies that help their bottom line."
Google spent some of its lobbying funds this year on the Stop Internet Piracy Act (SOPA). The search giant opposed the bill because it believed it would excessively stifle internet freedoms.
According to the CRP's statistics, Google also spent lobbying dollars on copyright issues and antitrust concerns.
Lobbying the US government has been a growing source of spending for tech firms in recent years. Last year, computer and internet firms spent over $126.8m on lobbying. In 2010, those same companies spent $122.9m lobbying governmental officials.
While Nyhart sees lobbying efforts in the tech industry growing for years to come, he also thinks theirs hope for change.
"Some tech industry members view old money dominating the tech industry as bad for innovation. So their is a pro-innovation argument that if you have only large companies creating public policy, that goes with their interests, you won't create a helpful environment for innovation," said Nyhart.
"Theirs hope, and in the end it will take millions of people to fight billions of dollars in campaign politics."

You Won't Believe How Smart Dumphones Actually Are
In spite of iOS and Android's quest towards world domination, it's easy for us overprivileged first-world residents to forget that the spread of the smartphone doesn't affect everyone. In fact, only half of all mobile phones shipped in 2013 are expected to be smartphones. The rest are the slower, clunkier and exponentially cheaper devices officially known as feature phones but more commonly dismissed as dumbphones. Careful though — they're smarter than you think.

Chef Batali, along with Zach Allen, has perfected the ideal version of thin, crisp Neapolitan-style pizza and presents over 15 varieties, including classics like Margherita and Meatball, with a new and creative take on pizzas like the Vongole with fresh clams and The Carbonara with guanciale and locally farmed eggs. At Otto-Las Vegas, guests will enjoy regional Italian dishes while drinking classic Italian wines from a list of over two hundred selections, including multiple selections by Joe Bastianich.Continued

- Always eceellentOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 11/26/2014The food is amazing! Just try the octopus salad. Simply delicious. The verdure appetizers are also amazing. The tuna, the eggplant, all. Robert is the best waiter! We've been going for years and the food, pasta, pizza are ALWAYS consistent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- otto okbrucer500Dined on 11/21/2014Three of us went for dinner one night while at the Venetian. In the center courtyard, noise was moderate. This night they were out of several appetizer items, which was a bit disappointing. However, all three of our entrees were rated highly by each of us. The grilled tuna dish was mine, and excellent. Despite the moderate noise level, and missing items, we would go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 11/13/2014Exceptional service, they remembered my wife's potato and shellfish allergy and we haven't been there in six months, and only twice this year. Always a fantastic experience. This is how it's supposed to be done.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hubby's birthday.avidatravellaDined on 11/10/2014The waiters seem didn't quite accommodate enough what we needs. They keep changing waiters who served our table, until before we ordered the desserts I told one of them that we were there for my hubby's 50th birthday. Then they put "Happy Birthday" with melted dark chocolate on the dessert plate. My black squid ink pasta is kinda chewy, but since I was very hungry after hours flights so I just eat it. We wait for almost 30 mins before all order served, but my kid order came at the very end. We spent over $200 incl. tips but we won't ever back.Special Features:
- The food was ok.AliceDined on 11/8/2014The service was bad you couldn't find our waiter and it wasn't busy. Our appetizer was good the pizza was cold.
- Great spot in the VenetianpanafoodieDined on 11/7/2014We booked on the same day and there was no problem with our booking (even though this was in Vegas). We were seated immediately and service was good. The cheese platter was superb. Our pasta was very good, though I feel it lacked a bit of character. Other than that, great experience.Special Features:
- Perfect to eat REAL Italian foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 11/7/2014Perfect place to have lunch into dinner. We go here as soon as we land and order wine and antipasti for 3 hours before going to shows.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful MealBreezeyDined on 11/5/2014This place needs to be emulated by others for their food and service. We were welcomes warmly, seated in a quiet place as we requested and service is first rate. The caprese salad was by far the most interesting one we have had using burrata and stewed tomatoes. Delish. Our pizza (truffles and potatoes) was first rate. The penne with eggplant and ricotta that had been recommended to us by a family member was ok, much preferred the pizza. And thanks to our server we ordered the apple dessert, YUMMY. All in all highly recommended!!!Special Features:
- excellentLuvhuntingtonDined on 11/5/2014Always a treat to come here. The cheese plate is fantastic. The braised pork shoulder amazing. Thanks for always giving me the best meal in Vegas.Special Features:
- Otto doesn't disappointOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/29/2014I always eat at Otto when I am in Las Vegas, and was very excited for this visit, as I took my 81 year old father along this time. My father moved to Canada from Italy almost 60 years ago, and I knew he would love the authentic Italian cuisine, as well as the Venetian setting. I was not disappointed. He loved it! The servers were very attentive and knowledgeable, the wine was fantastic, and the food (as I've come to expect) was perfectly prepared and set off my memory sensors: just like Nonna used to make! Grazie tutti!Special Features:
- ToniinVegasToniinVegasDined on 10/27/2014Food was very good, wine was excellent and the service was over-the-top. The noise level however was daunting, the music was played extremely loudly and was not appropriate dinner music, it was loud rock, very disconcerting and affected our enjoyment of our meal. We asked our server if the music could be turned down (we were in a small room) and he tried, but it didn't help at all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomeBamaDaveDined on 10/25/2014Best lasagna ever. Must come in a Sat evening to get the lasagna but so worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really goodOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 10/24/2014Great food. Really friendly waiter. Amazing cheese plate. Meat plate too. Great truffle pizza and carbonara pizza. Good for a group to share stuff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CurtVIPDined on 10/22/2014Service was slow, too many tables per server. Quality of food OK but not great like in some other Battalli restaurants we've been to.
- ExcellentPeoriaFoodieDined on 10/20/2014Had the margherita pizza and the fried mozzarella stack, both were phenomenal. Service was excellent and quick.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good, But we had Better beforesimplesmentefafoodDined on 10/18/2014We adore Otto!! Especially the Gemmelli dish; we came back to Otto three times in our last trip just to eat the delicious dish. Unfortunately, the gemelli was a tad too salty this time around. The service received was as always outstanding and great atmosphere.Special Features:
- Always a good stopOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/18/2014This restaurant is a great stop for lunch when you're in Las Vegas. The pizzas and the pasta are always first rate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a little slow at timeswpsbuffettDined on 10/15/2014Was seated very quickly ...but it took the server forever to welcome us .....they seem to have alot of workers milling about ...but not sure what was going on that we were forgot aboutSpecial Features:
- Go Mario go!FriendlyBurghFoodieDined on 10/7/2014Great ambiance, food and gelato! The Maitre'd is AMAZING! Wait staff could be better, though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfectly cooked pastaYummyDined on 9/25/2014Second time back and still perfectly cooking the pasta.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding ServiceNanaroxDined on 9/24/2014We visited Otto Las Vegas based on the reviews. We started with appetizers and a selection of cheeses. Our waitress, Ginger, was exceptional in making suggestions from the menu. She picked our cheeses and winer. Our reservation was at 4 o'clock and on Wednesday; the place was not busy so the servers were available to fill our water glasses and refreshed our bread plate. I was quite surprised with some of the negative comments, our experience was fabulous. I would definitely ask for Ginger if you try this restaurant at the Venetian.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food. Awful service!LovediningDined on 9/23/2014Pasta and pizza were great. However, our server was extremely rude. When we asked him about the specials he became upset and nearly through the menus at us. We came from Chicago really looking forward to visit this restaurant and we're disappointed. It's too bad that poor customer service ruined the overall experience.
- Bad serviceJsgaDined on 9/23/2014the waitress wasn't paying attention, she could be nicer! The food was good but not great.Special Features:
- Special notesSlid2astopVIPDined on 9/20/2014They didn't honor my special note about the two birthdays and that was disappointing. However I love everything about the restaurant and will go back!I would recommend this to a friend.
- OttoDragondiner621Dined on 9/19/2014Ate here on a Friday evening with a girlfriend. We sat "outside" in the canal shops area. The noise level was ridiculous. We could barely speak to each other during dinner. Our waiter and wait staff were excellent, the food was good and the wine list impressive. We both ordered a salad that had mixed greens, cucumber, Parmesan cheese, egg and was topped with prosciutto. The dressing was a lemon vinaigrette. The salad was extremely flavorful and I'd order it again. For my entree I ordered the pork, veal and ricotta meatballs. They also were flavorful but didn't have any distinguishing tastes to make me want to order them again. Her entree was the Friday special pasta. It included garlic and shrimp. Good but wouldn't order againSpecial Features:
- SuperbCJM1Dined on 9/18/2014Always a must when in Las Vegas. Though it is called a pizzeria, this is not a pizza joint. It is sophisticated. The pork shoulder is sublime.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Favorite Restaurant in VegasBCCantonDined on 9/13/2014This was our second trip to Otto and we will 100% be back again. It is our favorite restaurant in Vegas and is also one of the least expensive restaurants we have visited. The food and service are amazing.Special Features:
- Average Italian foodHBfoodieVIPDined on 9/12/2014So many Italian restaurants to choose from in Las Vegas I could only rate Otto as average in food quality and taste. We shared a Roasted Corn Pizza prepared witha thin crust with very little flavor. It was large enough to share however. Nice atmosphere sitting in the patio of St. Mark's Square at the Palazzo. Great people watching location.Special Features:
- GeorgeVIPDined on 9/11/2014Great everything my family really enjoyed the pizza and pasta dishesSpecial Features:
- No real Italian foodItalianDined on 9/9/2014Went to Otto to celebrate a bday and been from Italy i was disappointed ! Their wine list was huge but no one decent Italian I had to purchase a wine that it was over priced but I had no much choices available ! I order a pizza and gnoccho fritto wt prosciutto and mortadella and the mortadella was not mortadella more like a mcdonal chicken nugget smashed togheter! the waitress tried to challenge me about the quality of the mortadella but once I told her I was from bologna she confirmed it was some different then what we eat! Gnoccho fritto was not real neither from the cooking to the shape! place is over priced and been located in the venitian you would think the food of this restaurant is authentic!
- disppointedLitlDined on 9/8/2014I was disappointed in the food here. It was very pricey and the food was just ok. I would not recommend it as I felt we spent too much for what was received. The tables were on top og each other as well, I heard every word of the conversation next to us.Special Features:
- Good menu. Good wine.TreichDined on 9/6/2014A bit limited menu, with a lot of the apps fried which was disappointing. Building an antipasto entrée gets expensive fast. But the pork shoulder main I had was incredible and the potatoes side were the crispiest, amazing potatoes dish I've had in a long time! Recommend for people watch in the Venetia.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A definite destinationEatHereDined on 8/31/2014We always eat here each and every time in Vegas. A definite must eat spot. Something on the menu for everyone, great quality food and great variety.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful wine listLuv2eatVIPDined on 8/23/2014Margarita pizza is the best we have ever had. Everything is great here and they shave daily specials. Will be back soonSpecial Features:
- Food under seasoned, DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/20/2014We were disappointed with the food. Both the pizza and ravioli were under seasoned and just plain tasteless. Our table lacked salt and pepper shakers. The fried pizza dough appetizer lacked every thing. I will not recommend Otto to anybody.
- great restaurant in a great venuearanhaDined on 8/18/2014We had dinner at Otto that it is located inside the Venetian Hotel. It is beautiful where the restaurant is located. While you are having dinner, you can listen to live music and appreciate the excellent food for Mario Batagli. After dinner you can enjoy the gondola ride.Special Features:
- Use to love itFoodcritic102Dined on 8/18/2014This place seems to not have the excellent food I ahve been use too. Still a great lunch spot but for dinner... I dont't think that I will be returning. Gelato huge let down and pasta didnt have the home made feel seems to be pre made.Special Features:
- Otto LVCwernDined on 8/16/2014Great place, great food, great staff. Staff is well educated on all aspects of menu and overall restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Get the Cheese CoursetrinitiVIPDined on 8/14/2014We had 5 people in our group and got the 3-choice cheese course for only $15 as a group appetizer. Absolutely worth it! What a delicious variety! I also split the pepperoni pizza and spaghetti with someone. The spaghetti sauce had some kick, but not so much I couldn't handle it. Both were delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointedginny1Dined on 8/13/2014Afte visiting Otto in NYC several times, I was thrilled to fine Otto in Vegas. However, the Vegas location didn't compare to the NYC spot. The pizza was terrible and didn't taste fresh. In fact, I have had frozen pizzas better than this one. Service was very good but food quality was poor. Mario B needs to come down and check the food quality fast!

Man, 52, hit by truck, killed on Westside
Updated On: Jul 02 2014 04:27:59 PM EDT
A 52-year-old Jacksonville man was hit by a pickup truck and killed Wednesday morning while crossing Timuquana Road on the Westside, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
State troopers said Lavoy Williams was walking north in the eastbound lanes of Timuquana, just west of Catoma Street, just after 5 a.m.
Williams was hit by the left side of a pickup heading eastbound and died at the scene.
Troopers said the driver of the truck, 46-year-old Keith Adkins, didn't see Williams crossing the road. Adkins told troopers the eastbound traffic light was green and traffic at Catoma Street was stopped for a red traffic signal.
Troopers said alcohol was not a factor. They said charges are pending an investigation.

November 28, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin wildlife officials are urging deer hunters to keep an eye out for elk and moose.
Elk now occupy parts of Ashland, Bayfield, Price and Sawyer counties. Moose have been sighted in the state's northern counties as well.
Department of Natural Resources officials say they wandered into the state from northern Minnesota and Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Both species are protected in Wisconsin. DNR big game ecologist Kevin Wallenfang says hunters should concentrate on identifying their target and what lies beyond it.

Local leaders, teens plan walk against violence
Date: September 17, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Local leaders and teenagers will participate in a Youth Unity Walk Against Violence Sept. 22 from the Police Athletic League to Rogers Elementary School.
The walk is in response to the rash of local violence that has claimed the lives of two adolescent victims in one month, and six teens in 2009.
Led by Manatee County NAACP's Youth Council, the demonstration will be the latest in a series of forums and demonstrations against community violence. Teens are expected to walk from the Police Athletic League, 202 13th Ave. E., to Rogers Elementary School. The walk will begin at 6 p.m. After the walk, the group will gather at Rogers to discuss solutions and ideas for curbing violence along local streets and in neighborhoods.
The council decided to act not long after 17-year-old Bayshore High School cheerleader Jazmine Thompson was shot after a Sept. 4 football game.
"The walk gives the youth a chance to tell the community how they feel about it, as well as bring some perspective to the issues," said Ederick Johnson, a Manatee High School junior and vice president of the council. "It's important because often you have some adults who think that all the youth are up to no good, that they're all selling drugs or doing things they're not supposed to do but we do have young people who are trying to make a stand in what they believe in."
"It's the youth doing this, which makes it extremely important," said Manatee County Commission Chair Dr. Gwen Brown. "When you have young people wanting to give input as to what's happening, it's not just adults making decisions. It's our youth saying, 'This is our community, not the dope boys' or the gang bangers'. This is our community and we don't want any more of our friends caught up in that kind of ignorance.' "
Xtavia Bailey, Florida director of the Amer-I-Can program, said word is spreading throughout Manatee County high schools, and she hopes as many as 200 will attend.
"It's got lots of good support from high school kids," Bailey said. "Some are taking off football practice to tell us what's going on and how we can help them. Kids are overwhelmed and they're ready to speak."
"They don't want it to be a black thing, a white thing a Hispanic thing," Bailey said. "They want it to be a unity thing, a coming together to begin to fix the problem. They want their safety. They want to go out and have fun without losing their life innocently."
For more information, call Bailey at 526-8080.

Vehicle thefts up in St. Pete after keys left in ignition
Published On: Aug 15 2013 06:18:23 PM EDT
St. Petersburg Police say that in an overwhelming majority of the car thefts reported, most were because the vehicle's owner left the keys in the ignition.
In a news release on Thursday, officials in the Gulf coast city said that a key was used in 460 out of 551 vehicle thefts, or 83 percent.
Officials said that in most cases, drivers left the keys in the ignition or somewhere easily accessible inside the vehicle.
St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster talked about this during a recent candidate forum.
Police say that despite the increase of thefts this year, the number of vehicle thefts remains down 19% compared to the previous five-year-average.

Plan Your Wedding The Stress Free Way
Whether you are planning your own wedding, or helping to create a special day for someone close to you, you are sure to discover that the process can be very detailed and complicated. The tips laid out in this article should provide all the guidance you need to make that special day as unforgettable as possible.
When planning your wedding, think about what type of alcohol serving you want, and what type will be the most cost efficient. Keeping an open bar doesn't come cheap, but keeping it open for an extended time can be even more costly. Speak with the people at the venue about any alcohol serving options.
Wedding Dresses
Wedding dresses can be very expensive. When you are dress shopping, try looking for dresses that aren't traditional wedding dresses. For example, a bridesmaid dress is typically much less expensive and may be just what you're looking for. Even if this dress is not perfect and you need some adjustments made to make it your dream dress, it could still run you quite a bit less then an actual wedding dress.
The most important thing when considering marriage is the person you will be marrying. Do not rush this life altering lifelong decision. Consider the things you need in a relationship, the thing you'd prefer to do without, and how all this applies to your potential partner.
If you wish to look more stunning on your wedding day but are strapped for cash, consider renting diamonds. At a mere fraction of the cost, you can add that perfect touch of glamour to your wardrobe for the big day.
You should put a great deal of thought into writing your wedding vows. Understand that marriage is a very strong commitment that requires the both of you to make sacrifices. Make sure your vows truly reflect your feelings for your spouse.
Order small individual portions of cake from a local bakery if the thought of spending the equivalent of your honeymoon on your cake does not appeal to you. A variety of healthy alternatives are available for a wedding cake that won't cause sugar shock.
The venue you pick needs to have enough room for dancing. It can be very uncomfortable to see your wedding guests crammed together to dance in a tiny space, so make sure there is enough room prior to the event. Move chairs and tables out of the way if necessary!
Fashionable and luxury-loving brides can choose to embellish their bouquet with a touch of sparkle; think Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, and even a sprinkle of diamonds. This is achieved by adding in a few adhesive or heat-fixed crystals, a small piece of costume jewelry, or even a treasured heirloom piece. Make sure that the stones of your choice coordinate well with your ensemble; have consistency in your arrangement of colors, size and cut.
Perhaps enlist the help of a friend to help you to carry all your camera gear around. They can also help get together family members for group shots!
A midday reception may be the perfect way to cut costs at your wedding. You can cut down on bar costs when you have a reception during the day, when people tend to drink less. Lunch receptions are often cheaper than receptions held during dinnertime. This can help you focus your budget on higher-quality foods or providing higher-end alcoholic beverages.
Now that you've read some wedding planning tips, make them your own. Adapt them so that your wedding can be exactly the way you want it. These tips can help reduce your stress for planning a memorable wedding for the groom and bride.

Use These Tips When Planning Your Wedding
Making a lifetime commitment to your significant other can be beautiful and exciting not only for you, but for the people witnessing your wedding. Most weddings evoke romantic feelings and hope for the future in everybody, regardless of whether they're currently in a romantic relationship. To keep stress down and happiness up, it is important to properly prepare for your wedding. Read on to learn several strategies for making your wedding the best it can be.
Religion is possibly the most influential aspect of any wedding ceremony. It may help to discuss this with your families so that they understand how you plan on handling dual faiths in your marriage.
You may be surprised at how expensive wedding dresses are. Consider looking into dresses that are not designated as wedding dresses. A bridesmaid dress, for example, could look stunning on your figure and will typically be less than half the price of an actual wedding gown. You can choose to alter the dress and add your own flair, while still saving plenty of money.
If you wish to appear absolutely beautiful on your wedding day yet you need to control costs, think of renting diamonds. This is a way to achieve the amazing look you are striving for without breaking the bank.
Make sure you write down your vows, this is very important and will be important for your spouse. Understand that marriage is a very strong commitment that requires the both of you to make sacrifices. Take this opportunity to express your love for your betrothed so that will always be a part of your wedding ceremony.
If you feel as though it is wasteful to pay hundreds of dollars for a cake that will have a lot left over, consider a smaller bakery to create a smaller cake that will cost less and be more personal. Alternatively, consider something like low-fat cupcakes, gluten-free cake, fruit-filled low calorie cakes, or other such healthy alternatives.
Dance Floor
When choosing the location for your reception, make sure you have enough room for a dance floor. It's very uncomfortable to have your guests crowded onto a dance floor that is too small. Move unneeded furniture out of the way so that everyone can dance comfortably.
If possible, see if your reception venue offers lighting choices. You will want to have the option to dim the lights during dances or have bright lighting during the ceremony. Be sure to ask the if the venue has this feature before you commit to it.
Send a planning and an itinerary to your guests to help them schedule their activities and find their way. Maintain an updated lists of all events, such as the rehearsal or a pre-wedding dinner, so your guests know exactly where they will be at all times.
A wedding can be a time, but if you get stressed prior to the big day, it can affect you negatively. Use the information that you've gleaned from this article to help you avoid potential wedding disasters.

Must-Have Tips For Your Wedding
Most people spend long hours and put endless effort into organizing their wedding day. If you are planning a wedding, you should read the article below to get some great ideas on how to make your wedding go like you want.
In your wedding plans, make sure you consider what types of alcohol you wish to serve, and which ones are most cost effective. An open bar that is available all evening can quickly become a very costly endeavor. See what other serving options are available for your alcohol.
Wedding Dresses
Wedding dresses are not cheap. Consider looking into dresses that are not designated as wedding dresses. You could try a bridesmaid dress, and it would be cheaper than an actual wedding dress. Even if you factor in the cost of style alterations, the overall cost could be less.
Going online to purchase your wedding dress can save you a small fortune. However, you should make sure that you order it well before the big day in order to allow time for any alterations to be carried out should they be needed. You may only spend $100 on the gown when buying it online, but it may cost another $200 for the alterations. Be sure to include the potential alterations cost into your budget.
When you decide who you want to give the speeches during the reception, ask them to read them to you so you know they are appropriate. You may have several generations attending your wedding, and jokes that may be suitable for younger folks could offend the elders.
One way to look gorgeous on your wedding day without going over-budget is to rent your diamond jewelry! This can help you to look more stunning while not breaking the bank so you can stick to the budget you have created.
Take the time to think about what you want to say in your vows since these words mean so much and will heard by all of your guests. Be clear about the fact that both parties must make a number of sacrifices and be consistent to the commitment of marriage. Express how much you love the person you are going to marry in your vows.
You don't have to overwhelm yourself with an expensive and high calorie cake; contact your local specialty bakeries and boutiques and inquire about getting smaller, individual portions made instead. Many bakeries offer small tarts or mini-cakes that come in healthier options, like fresh fruit-filled, gluten-free or vegan options.
An overabundance of flowers on reception tables causes trouble. Frequently, these flowers are a nuisance to your guests, since they get in the way. Plus, a few of your guests could have flower allergies that you were not aware of. Opt for using non-scented candles instead of flower arrangements for a romantic and luxurious look.
If you would be okay with getting married in Las Vegas, go ahead and do it. However, if you would like a more traditional wedding, read the advice provided in this article for the wedding of your dreams.

Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem
By Stephanie Zacharek
Inexplicably, just as French cinema is taking a home-field drubbing at the hands of "l'affaire Leconte" (in which French filmmakers and critics have been publicly crossfiring since last autumn about the right of critics to club the apparently clubbable native product), Italian cinemaor at least its historyis enjoying something of a reputation makeover. MOMA chips in with this third packaging of eclectically selected postwar semiclassics, ranging from Luchino Visconti to Dario Argento, including several idiosyncratic landmarks notably unavailable on video. Primary among these is Roberto Rossellini's The Rise to Power of Louis XIV (1966), a ghostly historical essay shot for French TV detailing the monarch's political ascension to demigodhood. Rossellini shot the film and directed the timberlike cast as if Bresson were alive in the 17th century and making a documentary about the Sun King; the effect is chilling and crystal clear.
The series provides us with the perhaps unnecessary opportunity to view Nothing Left to Do but Cry (1984), a historical comedy written, directed, and starring Massimo Troisi and Roberto Benigni (unseen at press time and, probably, for some considerable time after that). The original Dino Risi version of Scent of a Woman (1974) is featured, while the cut segment from De Sica's The Gold of Naples(1954) makes its first stateside appearance alongside the Fellini chunk of Boccaccio '70 (1962). But among the video orphans, what's not to be missed is Marco Bellocchio's blistering Fists in the Pocket (1965); Argento's wicked giallo, shot by Vittorio Storaro, The Bird With the Crystal Plumage (1970); and Luigi Comencini's overlooked The Infancy, Vocation and Early Experiences of Giacomo Casanova, Venetian (1969). Best of all, arguably, is Visconti's Senso (1954), a mesmerizing romantic ordeal by mise-en-scène that, though common on tape, needs a screen as broad and high as Alida Valli's cheekbones.

Earnest Robinson
Services for Earnest "Pop" Robinson, 88, were held Saturday, May 7, 2011 at First Community Church, with Rev. Rodney W. Hibbler officiating. Burial followed in Shady Grove Cemetery.
Mr. Robinson was born May 13, 1922 in Coahoma County, Mississippi to the late Walter and Nettie Robinson. He confessed Christ at an early age, but was reunited back to Christ eight and a half years ago.
He was united in holy matrimony to the late Rachel Moody Robinson. To this union two children were born.
Earnest fulfilled purpose in this life as he worked with passion as a farmer in the capacity as a machine operator for 41 years. He was a truck driver for seven years and he worked at the grain elevator for five years. In 1982 he retired from farming as his health began to fail him.
He is gone but will not be forgotten because he made a great impact on many lives that he came in contact with. He was such a unique individual. He loved to talk and he never met a stranger.
November 29, 2010 he became a resident at the Tunica Nursing Home to receive assistance for his health care. Then on May 1, 2011 he departed this life to join with family members who preceded him in death: his parents; his loving wife; two sisters, Samella Johnson and Earline Pringle; and two brothers, Freddie Jones and Eddie Jones.
Cherishing the beloved memories of Earnest are two daughters, Nettie (L.C.) Reed of Tunica, MS and Viola (Anthony) Henley of Lambard, IL; his son Jerry Robinson of Tunica, MS; five grandchildren, Shontina Reed, Latorian Henley and Lartez Reed, all of Tunica; and Tenesha Henley and Tyran Henley, both of Chicago, IL. He leaves eight great-grandchildren, three sisters-in-law, one brother-in-law, three special nephews, two nieces, and four great-nieces and nephews. Earnest had two very special young men in his life, Christopher (Ruthie) Davis of Horn Lake and Jacky Matthews of Robinsonville; special friends Sylvester Herring, Irby Matthew, Aaron Bedford and J.D. Ware and a host of other relatives, in-laws and friends.

Expression Newsletter,

The menu has become a ubiquitous part of most, if not all, web sites, yet it remains a bit of a mystery for designers and developers alike. What is the perfect menu? And what method is better when creating menus? Should you use layers? Or a table? What about an image-based menu? Or is the answer CSS? And the plot thickens to the point of pea soup when it comes to drop-down menus. Because there are so many different options available, and the proponents of each option are passionate about them, it's hard for a newcomer to navigate the terrain and find a solution that works.
I don't pretend to have the right answer to the question of which is the best menu, but after years of experimentation I am firmly planted on the side of the pure CSS drop-down menu.
In this tutorial you will learn to create a Pure CSS Drop-Down Menu pretty much without writing a single line of code. This is done by harnessing the power of Expression Web's innovative and intuitive Style dialog as well as the power of CSS as a design and layout tool. What is great about the way Expression Web handles CSS is that it lowers the threshold for learning, understanding, and authoring style code and gives people with little to no experience with this code language the ability to create solid standards-based web sites. The many integrated CSS functions--including the Apply and Manage Styles task panes, the Style dialog and the CSS Properties task pane--give beginners as well as advanced users a multitude of different ways of working with this powerful code language and make it easier than ever to create compelling and functional web sites.
There are many reasons why more and more designers are turning to CSS and XHTML as their platform for web design – too many in fact to cover here. When it comes to the issue at hand – menus – there are a couple of advantages that stick out:
Accessibility: The purpose of a web site is to communicate a message to the visitor. But not all visitors are using the same tools to view web sites. The visitor may be visually impaired and relying on a text-to-speech browser, she may be visiting the site on an old computer or her browser may restrict scripts and images for security reasons. If you want your site to be accessible to everyone you need to set it up in such a way that even those who only see the plain-text version of the site still see all the content. For menus this means that they have to be available in a plain-text format and formatted in such a way that they are easy to understand and navigate even without all the bells and whistles. The Pure CSS menu is based on a simple unordered list and is therefore the ideal solution where accessibility is concerned.
Manageability: Web sites tend to evolve and change over time. In practical terms this means that the menu originally created might need to be changed or expanded as the needs of the site owner changes. For the benefit of the owner as well as the designer and developer it is a good practice to create menus that can easily be amended, expanded and reworked without having to go back to the drawing board. Because the Pure CSS menu is based on an unordered list, simply changing the list items themselves will change the menu as a whole and the editor does not need to worry about more complicated issues such as images or scripts.
Customization: In the Pure CSS menu the menu itself is an unordered list while its presentation is defined by styles in the form of CSS code. This means that the designer can step in and make sweeping changes to the appearance of the menu without ever touching the menu items themselves. In other words, design and redesign become less invasive and time consuming.
But enough talk! Let's get started.
The genius of the Pure CSS Drop-Down Menu is its simplicity: The menu itself is nothing more than a standard unordered list.
To get started, open a new HTML page in Expression Web called menu.html and save it somewhere on your computer. On the top of the page create a new unordered list by clicking the Bullets button and type out a series of menu items separating each by hitting Enter. Your page should now look like the one in Figure 1.
Here comes the only bit of code you have to write: To make sub-menus (the drop-down items) you need to make lists within lists. This is done by adding the markup for a new list within one of the original list items.
In Code View place the cursor inside the second menu item right before the </li> tag and hit Enter to create a new line. To create a new sub-menu, type "<ul>". IntelliSense will automatically close the tag with "</ul>" for you. Now you have a new list housed inside one of the original menu items (see Figure 2).
To create sub-menu items go back to Design View. You will see that underneath the second menu item there is now a new indented line inserted. By placing the cursor on this new line and typing out a new menu item name a new list item is automatically created. And when you hit Enter you create new items within this new sub-menu like in Figure 3.
Repeat this process and create several such sub-menus so you have something substantial to work with.
With the basic structure of the menu complete you can switch to Design View if you want to.
The next step is to make the different items into links. Since we don't have anywhere to link to, let's just make the items link back to the current page. The easiest way to do this is to use the Insert Hyperlink button on the Common Toolbar (Figure 4):
Select the text in the first item and click the Insert Hyperlink button. This opens the Insert Hyperlink Dialog. From here select the current page (menu.html) and click OK (Figure 5). Repeat this process for each of the menu items until they are all hyperlinks.
You now have a fully working menu with sub-menus. From here you can use CSS to style the menu any way you want. The menu can be displayed vertically and horizontally. In this tutorial you will learn to build both and then you can choose for yourself which one you like better.
One of the major features of Expression Web is the ability to work with external style sheets as if the styles were internal. In other words you can create, modify and delete styles in an external style sheet without ever leaving the document it is attached to. This makes life a lot easier for designers and developers no matter what their level of skill.
To make a new style sheet go to File, New and CSS. Save the new CSS file under the same folder you saved the menu.html page and call it drop-down.css. With the menu.html file open click the Attach Style Sheet button in the Manage Styles Task Pane (Figure 6). This opens the Attach Style Sheet dialog. Use the browse button to find the drop-down.css file and click OK to attach the Style Sheet (Figure 7). Now you can place styles in the external drop-down.css file from within the menu.html file.
The first step is to get rid of the inherent styling in unordered lists. If you don't expressively specify a left padding and margin for the ul class, web browsers will make an assumption that each list item is to be indented relative to the other text on the page. To solve this you need to set the padding and margin of the ul class to 0:
With the menu.html page open click the New Style button in the Manage Styles task pane (Figure 6). This opens the New Style dialog. From this dialog you can access and define all available CSS attributes without writing any code of your own.
In the Selector box type "ul" or find ul from the drop-down list. This means that the style will affect all instances of the <ul> tag in the associated page. Directly underneath Selector is a box called Define in. From here you can define where the style code is to be placed. By default it is placed in the Current Page meaning the CSS code will end up within the <head> tag of the HTML page. From the drop-down menu choose Existing Style Sheet and use the Browse button next to the URL field to navigate to the drop-down.css file you just created. Now the style will be placed in the external style sheet but still be associated with the HTML page you are working with.
To reset the padding and margin of the menu items go to the Box category and set the padding and margin top to 0. Leave the Same For All box checked to reset all values. Your New Style dialog should now look like this.
Click OK and you will see that both main menu items and sub-menu items now align with the left side of the page without any indentation.
"Why do I have to reset both the padding and the margin" you ask? Well, it turns out not all web browsers are created equal. So while Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome and Safari all use the margin attribute to indent list items, Internet Explorer uses the padding attribute to do the same thing. Therefore to ensure that the list appears the same across all browsers you must reset both values.
The next step is to "flip" the menu from a vertical list to a horizontal one. This is achieved by styling the main menu list items housed inside the <li> tags.
Click the New Style button in the Manage Styles Task Pane to create a new style and give it the Selector name "ul li". Make sure the new style is defined in the drop-down.css file as before.
Technically you can just call it "li" but when it comes to CSS it is often good practice to do some micromanaging: If the style selector is set to "li" it will apply to all list items whether they are in an unordered list (<ul>) or an ordered list (<ol>). By making the selector more specific you can create separate custom styles for each type of list.
To make the menu align horizontally across your screen in a visually pleasing manner you need to do several things: Tell the list items to align horizontally, define the width of each line item and get rid of the bullets or "dots" that precede each item. All of this is can be done in the ul li style:
To realign the list items to the horizontal plane, go to the Layout category, set the display attribute to inline and the float attribute to left. Click Apply and you will see that the list items are now next to one another but the list looks messy. To "clean up" a bit, go to the Position category and set the width attribute to 150px. This gives each list item the same width.
The exact width depends on how wide you want each button to be and how much text is in each button. If you make the button too narrow the text will "jump" to the next line and the button will have two lines of text instead of one.
To get rid of the bullets, go to the List category and set the list-style-type attribute to none. When you click OK you should end up with a menu that looks something like what you see in Figure 9.
Now that the menu aligns properly you should add some styling to make it look a little better. In CSS you define styling that is going to apply to all instances of the affected content as "high up" in the cascade as possible, so things like font family and font size should be defined in the ul li style:
From the Manage Styles task pane, right click on the ul li style and select Modify Style. This reopens the same dialog you worked with earlier and you can now change or add attributes in the same style. Under Font set the font-family attribute to Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, font-size to 0.9em and text-transform to uppercase (Figure 11). These settings will now apply to all text inside list items unless something else is specified. Finally to give each menu item a little more "breathing space" go to the Position category again and set the height attribute to 30px. This last step will come into play later on.
At this point it is a good idea to test the page in several browsers to make sure everything looks the way you intended. Save the menu.html page and Expression Web will pop open the Save Embedded Files dialog (Figure 12) where you are asked if you want to save the changes you have made to external files (in this case the drop-down.css style sheet). Click OK and hit F12 to open the page in your default browser.
Even though the menu now lines up properly, we still need to make it more interesting visually.. The links are all blue, they have an ugly underline and there is no background color. To bring some style to the substance we are going to create dedicated styles for the links themselves:
Using the New Style button again, open the New Style dialog and give the style the selector "ul li a". This style will now affect all links within list items within unordered lists.
Firsts let's give the links a background color and get rid of that underline: Under the Background category set the background-color attribute to gray (#808080) by clicking the color box next to the text field and opening the More Colors dialog (Figure 13). Now go to the Font category and set the color to white (#FFFFFF) using the drop-down menu. To get rid of the underline check the none box under the text-decoration attribute. Click OK to apply the changes and you'll see that there's a bit of a problem: The background only covers the text itself leaving a lot of white space around each item (Figure 14).
To solve this we need to increase the area the link covers. This is done by defining the height and width of the link to match the list item boxes you created earlier. In the Manage Styles task pane right click the ul li a style and select Modify Style to get back to the Modify Style dialog.
To set the height of the link go to the Block category and set the line-height attribute to 30px to match the height of the ul li style you defined earlier. The reason you are using the line-height attribute instead of the height attribute is that line-height automatically places the text at vertical center. If you were to use height you would have to set the vertical placement manually using padding. To set the width, go to the Position category and set width to 150px to match. Finally, to "fill out" the area with the background colour, go to the Layout category and set display to block.
Now when you hit Apply, the buttons are the right size but the text is aligned all the way to the left. To indent the text from the left edge go to Box, uncheck the Same for all option under padding and set the left padding to 8px. Since you have now added 8 pixels to the width of the box you need to subtract them from the overall width of the box so go back to Position and reduce the width attribute to 142px. Click OK to apply the new style.
If you test your page in a browser at this point you'll see that the menu looks right but the buttons don't react to your mouse hovering over them. To do this you need to make a pseudo-class for the links. A pseudo-class is one that is triggered by user interaction rather than simply displayed all the time. Pseudo-classes are applied to selectors such as anchors (links) with a colon like this:
a:hover – triggered when the mouse hovers over the link
a:visited – triggered when the link has been visited
In this case we need to make a separate style for the hover state of the link. Create a new style as before and set the selector name to "ul li a:hover". Go to Background and set the background-color to #666666. This will change the background color to a darker gray when the button is hovered over. Click OK, save and test the page in your browser to make sure the buttons react. Figure 15 shows the menu as it appears in Firefox with one of the buttons hovered over.
Note that you can't test pseudo-classes from within Expression Web's Design View. You have to test them in a real browser to see if they work.
Right now the main menu and the sub-menu items all look the same. Ideally you want them to be somewhat different to visually tell the visitor she is accessing a different element. This can be done with some further micromanaging of styles:
Create a new style and give it the selector name "ul li ul li a". This selector will only affect links within list items that are contained within an unordered list that is contained within the list item of another unordered list. Quite a mouthful but it serves us perfectly. Go to the Background category and set the background-color to #666666. If you paid attention you'll notice that this is the same color as the hover state you just defined. You'll see why in a few minutes. Click OK to apply the style and create a new style with the selector name "ul li ul li a:hover". Set the background-color of this one to #333333 and click OK to apply the style.
You should now have 6 styles that are progressively more specific. Save and test the page in your browser again to make sure it all works.
At this point you're probably asking yourself that very question. And here, finally, is the answer: To make the sub-menus appear and disappear we are going to use the :hover pseudo-class in conjunction with the visibility attribute for some CSS trickery:
First to hide the sub-menus. Create a new style and give it the selector name "ul li ul". This style affects all sub-menus. Under the Layout category you will find the visibility attribute. Set it to hidden. This hides the sub-menu from the screen as well as from mouse clicks.
To make it visible again create a new style and give it the selector name "ul li:hover ul". Note that the :hover pseudo-class is placed on the first list item before the second unordered list. This style will only affect unordered lists that are found under list items that are currently being hovered over inside unordered lists. Go to Layout and set the visibility attribute to visible as in Figure 16. Click OK to apply the new style and save all changes.
Now when you test the page in your browser you'll see that the sub-menus are invisible until you hover over the main menu buttons. Figure 17 shows the fully working Pure CSS Drop-Down Menu working in Opera.
The Pure CSS Drop-Down Menu is a clean, simple and elegant menu that is easy to build, modify and edit for designers as well as end users. Because it is based on a simple unordered list structure the end-user can easily add, remove or edit the menu items without having to worry about graphics or other non-content elements. Likewise the menu can easily be restyled and redesigned without interfering with the content because the styling is separated entirely from the content itself. The code generated by Expression Web is 100% standards compliant and should appear the same across most if not all browsers and platforms. And like I promised in the very beginning, it can be built, styled and modified with little-to-no actual code writing or editing.

text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail We need the scholar who has the ability to see potential in others. We need the teacher who recognizes potential in his students. In the past, Muslim scholars were true coaches. They taught their students manners just like they taught knowledge. They raised their students like we raise our children. They nurtured, they mentored, and they guided. To them, no student was fully formed. They realized that knowledge was always a work in progress. Nowadays, we have people who graduate from colleges of Shariah, not to touch their books again. They think they have arrived. They think they have learnt everything to be learnt. We need scholars who are teachers. Major scholars of our past were very good teachers. When they interacted with their students, their goal was to help them experience the reality of knowledge and the sweetness of understanding. They always looked at ways to challenge them. They had lively discussions. A teacher would ask the student for their opinion. The student would ask the teacher for their proof. It was a healthy relationship. We need al-alim ar-Rabbani. The word Rabbani in Arabic is derived from "rabbaa" which is to raise. As mentioned by imam Bukhari in his Sahih, "al-alim ar-Rabbani is the scholar who raises people on small knowledge (easy concepts) before big knowledge (intricate or confusing matters)". He nourishes them with knowledge and wisdom. He looks for ways to challenge them, challenge their understanding. He devises methods that can stretch them and help them grow. He's on the lookout for signs of growth – a new Sunnah they learned, a slight improvement in behavior, a glimpse of promise in a bright future. Yes, scholars used to be able to recognize who from their students will have a bright future. imam Malik was able to recognize the genius in imam as-Shafi'ee the first time he laid eyes on him!But later in Islamic history, things changed. Now, the student was supposed to be a carbon-copy of his teacher. He was supposed to emulate his movements without a question. It got to a point where it was said, "If you ever ask your sheikh 'why', you'll never be successful". Blind following became the norm. Free thinking was suppressed. The Muslim community started producing copies and copies of the samescholar, same school, and same opinion. Challenging an opinion, even if outdated and non-fitting, became a crime. People started repeating "Everything said in the mihraab (where the imam stands to lead the prayer and teach his congregation) must be true". It's no wonder that today we don't see famous students graduate under famous sheikhs. Contemporary sheikhs, many times, are sterile. They're not able to produce genuine students, capable of carrying their legacy. Moreover, we see students of knowledge start with big confusing matters before learning the small easy matters. This has led in some cases to unnecessary arguments that made some people turn away from knowledge or the people of knowledge. Sheikh Muhammad Nasir Deen al-Albani used to comment a great deal on the fact that we have scholars but we don't have Muraabeen (teachers, mentors, guides). This is why we find many people with some knowledge but no manners. imam ibn al-Mubarak used to wish to have learnt a little less knowledge and a lot more adab (manners). I wonder what he would say about our affairs today! Can this Ummah start producing al-alim ar-Rabbani once again?? You can follow the author on Facebook at www.facebook.com/AnasHlayhel FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail 6 Responses convert of 24 years October 30, 2013 Personally, I do not even feel comfortable asking questions in the Masjid much less pointing out to the Shaykh when he says something based on his personal opinion as if it is a fact !!! Which he does often!!! Our Shaykh has a cult like status, I feel sorry for him.

We recently read the story of Imam Abu Hanifa whose talent was discovered and encouraged by someone called Al-Sha'bi. Al-Sha'bi rather than being a distant admirer of Imam Abu Hanifa took the initiative of persuading him to change his career from business studies to Islamic studies because he had all the pre-requisites for the discipline. May Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala grant us mentors and the company of righteous people. May He also grant us the wisdom to say the right thing at the right moment, aameen.

Wife Gets Busted Singing "None Of Your Business" By Salt-N-Pepa [VIDEO]
Have you ever rapped like no one was watching? LOL! So did this guy's wife and it went viral!
Have you ever rapped like no one was watching? LOL! So did this guy's wife and it went viral!
A woman lost her wedding ring 15 years ago, and when her husband found it, he got back down on one knee to ask for her hand in marriage.
So, the story goes (and since it's on Facebook, it's absolutely 100% true and accurate): What did her husband see in this picture that he took, to end up in divorce?
Husband stayed alive long enough to see his baby being born, after his wife induced labor.
I'm from New Orleans, LA, where you hear about stabbings and shootings every single day. I hate to say you get used to it but, you kind of do. This is the first time I've ever, and I do mean ever, heard that some one got stabbed with a furry little, nut eating, squirrel.
This is what TRUE LOVE is all about, what all humans search for, and hopefully end with in life. This video is almost 10 minutes long, but I'm glad I watched it. It's about a 96 year old man named Fred who recently lost his wife of 75 years, and while grieving, he wrote a song called 'Oh Sweet Lorraine'.
Watch what happens when a husband refuses to take his wife out on the lake one Saturday afternoon because he needs to tend to his vehicle. To be fair here, it does appear that at times the young lady's husband eggs her on during this altercation.
Some things in life are just flat out evil, and this prank may just be one of them. Watch what happens when one man, while driving down an interstate, wakes his wife up by screaming "babe wake-up there is a truck coming!!!"
I guess there won't be a honeymoon anytime soon for these two. I'm not saying it's right by any standards, but wouldn't you wait a couple of months before 'doing the deed?' Looks like the waitress he had fun with that night wasn't at the reception just to take orders.
In my short time on this planet, I have come to realize that there are only two types of girls - good girls, and bad girls. Now, bad girls aren't always necessarily 'bad' for you, but they definitely aren't 'wifey material.' And fellas, before you think you can 'tame' any 'bad girl' to your standards, ask any female - it ain't happening. Actually, most guys NEVER realize they're with a 'bad girl' until it's too late.
