I received a review electronic copy of Packt Publishing's 'Lego Mindstorms EV3 Essentials' book. This book covers Java and leJOS programming on the EV3, so it differs from most other books on the market in that it choose a 3rd party environment rather than relying on the Lego-supplied one. It also requires a Linux environment(…)

Historical Traveler Reviews Mount Juliet Estate Thomastown
Filthy Abomination
Firstly, let me explain that one star represents terrible. It is not possible to give any hotel no stars on this rating system. If it was, I'd give it no stars.
Mount Juliet changed ownership in the past few years and is now operated by Conrad. Perhaps the deterioration in standards is as a result of this changeover. I don't know. I do know that it was a magnificent facility at one time. This is no longer the case.
The place is woefully understaffed. Staff in Mr Jinks bar and the dining room are pleasant and well intentioned but largely incompetent. The hotel is not clean. In some areas, it is actually filthy. Our room in the main house had a sour odour throughout. When you order food, be it in the dining room or room service or in the bar, the staff are incapable of taking down an order correctly and supplying the right food. They cannot even supply cutlery that is not encrusted with dirt.
What else? As bad as Mount Juliet House has become, Hunter's Yard is infinitely worse. What a kip!! Bad food, bad accommodation. Bad service.
The spa is very dated and the spa facilities are entirely inadequate. They need a major overhaul to compete with the spas on offer at other properties.
We checked out a day early. They tried to charge us for breakfast. We didn't have breakfast because the staff couldn't find a seat for us. They asked us to wait for five mins in the bar and we would be called. Half an hour later, we appeared and they acted as though they'd never seen us before. Still no table. They asked if we wanted to share a table with another couple. We didn't. We decided to depart without breakfast. Still and all, we had to have a ten minute debate with the check-out staff to have the breakfast charge removed from our bill. It wasn't the only incorrect item we were charged for.
Mount Juliet is a disgrace. I highly recommend that you book somewhere else. There are so many other fab hotels in Ireland at half the price.
Check out Castle Durrow for a great break.
Beautiful Setting
The hotel and the grounds were beautiful, although it was rather difficult finding the main hotel for check-in. Our room was at the Hunter's Yard. The room was nice and clean. Only by accident did we find that there was small refrigerator hidden under the desk although there was no mini bar and the refrigerator was not turned on. The room had bottled water and apples upon our arrival (after seeeing some of the other charges we did not know if there was a charge for these items). We just felt for a five star hotel that they nickled and dimed you. The pool and workout room was very close to our room which was nice. It was somewhat of a walk if you stay in the main house. To use the pool everyone (men and women) have to use a bathing cap. Not many people travel with a bathing cap, so they charged your room to use the bathing cap. Upon check in they asked if we would like a daily paper and if so, would we prefer a US paper. We specified the US paper and upon check out found out that there was a $3.00 per day charge for the paper. They certainly did not make that known. If you plan on playing golf, make sure you make a reservation before arrival.
Outstanding in every way
This hotel is wonderful, the facility spectacular. However, what really makes this hotel my favorite place on earth is the staff.
We kept wondering if there was nothing these people would not do for us. I had my eight year old daughter with us, and the staff made her feel like a little princess. She was spoiled rotten. I cannot tell you how difficult it was to leave.
We had a great time, were waited on hand and foot and made some wonderful friends. It just could not have a better experience. We are already planning our return trip..
Ghosts or not, Mt Juliet thrills!
The physical setting of Mount Juliet (a Conrad Hote, thus a Hilton Honors property) is enough to take your breath away. Perched on a hill, nestled among galloping purebred horses and happy sheep, it is a feast for the eyes. Inside, it's everything you'd expect an old estate to have--antiques, paintings, fresh flowers, beautiful views from every window. Roaring fire, leather club chairs in the bar, more than you could wish for. Plus a top rated golf course, once frequented by Tiger Woods, is also an asset.
What keeps me from giving this hotel an "Excellent" rating is the terribly dusty room (cobwebs all over the drapes), unvacuumed floor, broken bath fixtures and some ameneties that are listed but just aren't in the room, like the coffee service. We made 4 telephone calls to housekeeping for a non feathered duvet and foam pillows. Pretty easy request, and in a hotel that is off season, we were willing to get them ourselves. In fact, my husband scoured the hall's linen closed to find two foam pillows. We gave up calling. What's funny is that one of the hotel's amenities are the 6 different choices of pillows, including buckwheat. I have no idea where they came up with this marketing tool in a hotel in the middle of rural Ireland (of course, most of Ireland is rural).
But the strangest thing of all, is that we had a ghost of some sort in our room during the night and also the following morning. My husband was really freaked out. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. And for those that think I am making this up, it was confirmed by the restaurant staff that the third floor does have a spirit of some sort. Yes, we were staying on the third floor. Enjoy!
Mount Juliet was nice
Seven adults traveled in June, 2004. We used Mount Juliet as a base for exploring the surrounding area, but wish we'd had more time just to spend at Mount Juliet. The countryside was gorgeous, the golf was great, but the service overall was just above average. The staff were enthusiastic for the most part, and seemed to want to do a good job; they just didn't have the experience level to know what a good job really entailed. This is a fault of the ownership (Conrad Hilton Hotels) more than anything, I suspect. The food was above average, but not great. I admit that I am a spoiled traveler, and have very high expectations. I would definitely go back for more golf, but I would also take advantage of the equestrian facilities and explore the grounds more.
Hunter's Yard Room was a big disappointment!!
We recently stayed at the Conrad Mount Juliet for two nights during a ten-day romantic trip throughout Ireland. We were placed in one of their Hunter's Yard accommodations, which seemed to be mainly for the golfing crowd (we were not there on a golfing vacation) and the room was awful! It needed a good cleaning (carpet, bathroom), had a strange smell, and was generally noisy and not very well maintained -- definitely not like accommodations in the other hotels we experienced throughout Ireland (Dromoland Castle was superb!). On the night we arrived at the Mount Juliet, there was a loud party in an adjacent restaurant which went on until after 1:00 a.m. Then, closer to dawn, there was a noisy truck delivery (with lots of yelling) at a nearby service entrance. All in all, it was a very disappointing experience and we couldn't wait to leave!
The BEST place in Ireland
This was the BEST hotel in a twelve day tour of Ireland with first class-deluxe CIE Tours - Irish "Supreme" May 28 - June 12 (Even better than the castles!) The ground are beautiful, with walled-gardens and rose gardens. The river is wonderful; look across and see horses in pastures and cows in meadows. The dining was superb! Great service. The bar is intimate and the rest of the "house" is great to explore. We loved the library. Our room was unbelievable; so large, step up to the room, vaulted ceilings, multiple window seats. Walk a bit to the golf course "clubhouse" and have a drink or dinner and look at originals of Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo, or Jack "the bear" Nickalaus. Need to stay here more than two days.
Breathtaking experience at Mount Juliet
We just had the most breathtaking memorable experience at Mount Juliet. Our room was enormous and decorated with most beautiful antiques and wall paper. The room was so large that most American hotels would consider this a double suite. The wall murals, bar, dining room and library were so elaborate, that I took many pictures of the inside of this hotel. The grounds were also breathtaking. The river behind the hotel had people fishing for trout, and the golf course was manicured to a tee. The grounds also had state of the art stables and beautiful thoroughbred horses. There were trails one could ride if he preferred. The service and food was exceptional, and I am a finicky eater. I had left a denim skirt, and I called after returning to the States. Ken, contacted housekeeping immediately and called me the same day. I have not had any hotel be this prompt. I would advise anyone traveling in Ireland to stay at the Mount Juliet House, but I would recommend at least a two day stay so you could horseback ride or golf. I will never forget the great experience that I had at the Mount Juliet House.
Stacey Jones/ Hot Springs, Arkansas
We loved this hotel!
We stayed at the 5 star Conrad Mount Juliet April 9/04 and had a wonderful time. Although this property was hard to find (it was hidden behind the golf club) it was well worth locating! A beautiful old mansion that had been refitted as a hotel back in the early 1900's. It is well taken care of and is very clean! As with most old properties in Ireland there was NO air conditioning...which would be a problem in the summer months. Food in the dining room was excellent and the service impecable. The golf course was beautiful and looked like it would provide a challenge to the experienced golfer! We would have liked to have stayed for a few more days and relax...
FANtastic Juliet
Mount Juliet Conrad is a beautiful estate in the most beautiful country in the world. Warm, friendly people, atmosphere, culture, climate, food, currency, dress, sport. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The Spa was relaxing. The Resttaurant was well staffed and welcoming. The food was exceptional. Golf was SPECTACULAR. The hounds, horses, cows & sheep were a delight.

WALLA WALLA - Walla Walla isn't the only community worried about a study to cut beds in the state prison system.
Employees, officials and prisoners at Monroe Correctional Complex are also wondering about their future after a visit by a consulting team last week.
The visit by consultants with Christopher Murray & Associates came after a similar site tour at the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.
Consultants have also visited the McNeil Island Corrections Center and plan visits to additional sites, including the Pine Lodge Corrections Center for Women in Medical Lake.
According to a story published Sunday in the Everett Herald, Monroe Prison Superintendent Scott Frakes said the proposed cutbacks could result in 100 to 125 jobs being cut at the facility.
The loss would be 10 percent of the work force at the prison, one of the largest employers in Monroe, a city of about 15,000 people northeast of Seattle. Prisoners would also have to be moved to facilities far from their families, complicating visits.
"It would be the low point in my career to have to go through that process," Frakes told the Herald.
Study consultants have focused on the Washington State Reformatory, a medium-security unit that is one of five units in the prison complex.
According to the Seattle Weekly, the reformatory building holds 740 beds, employs 200 staff members and houses the complex's hospital and its largest kitchen.

Quick question as I change plans yet again...if I cover my oven with a layer of vermicrete then stucco, will it keep the water out?
Re: Weatherproofing
You'll probably need to paint it with a masonry or stucco paint. I think you'll be fine keeping the water out. The one thing I did last year is I left my oven exposed all winter (in Ohio). I don't think I"ll do that again this year. I think the freeze thaw cycles are hard on the exposed masonry portions of my oven..
Re: Weatherproofing
I will be putting on a multi layer stain then seal. Where did you get your stucco here in Houston?
Re: Weatherproofing
Dick, which masonry parts are you concerned about? The cultured stone face? counter? firebrick? decorative arch? I live a few hundred miles north of you. I was planning the oven to be winter proof. I really don't want to cover it every winter (plus, I plan to use it in the winter, too!)
Re: Weatherproofing
Re: Weatherproofing
No stucco, even acrylic stucco is water proof. Acrylic stucco is "water resistant". This is fine for light rain.
During the rainy season (October to May here on Vancouver island) I cover mine with a sheet of plastic when not in use.
Re: Weatherproofing
How about an underlayment of heavy plastic between two layers of dome covering (cement, vermicrete or stucco)?

No surprise here! Last night MSNBC host Ed Schultz purposely played an out of context clip of Texas Governor Rick Perry saying there was a "black clowd" hanging over the American economy. Schultz claimed Perry was referring to President Obama as that black cloud. After much outrage, Schultz decided to play the entire clip with Perry's full comments, proving the statement wasn't racist, but failed to give an apology for selectively editing the tape and for falsely accusing Perry of racism.
Come on lefties, could you please come up with something new? The racism charge is getting really old and has never been true. Fight us with facts not desperate false charges.
You'd think after Schultz was suspended for calling Laura Ingraham a republican "talk slut" that he'd tone it down a bit.

St. Peter Public Schools Superintendent Jeff Olson is attending tonight's (TUE) State of the Union Address in Washington, DC with Southern Minnesota Congressman Tim Walz. Dr. Olson says he was thrilled to be invited after spending 16 years as a government teacher. He calls it one of those "bucket list" kind of things to have an opportunity to hear the president address Congress and the country. Olson says that there are several topics he hopes the president addresses that effect school districts in the local area, including school safety, reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act, special education funding and repairing aging school infrastructure. Olson is the 2013 Minnesota Superintendent of the Year.

I am dislexic so don't judge me to harshly.
I am a nerd, dork, geek, whatever.
My wife moodeemonkee and I are Poly. I like sword fighting, Dungeons & Dragons, video games, computers, the human condition, camping, geology. I am quiet and in deep thought often. I like wit and cheekiness.
So what I am looking for is a part time lover someone who does not have a lot of time and does not want to have someone meddling with their life, yet still wants a compassionate lover.
Not necessarily looking to share my wife but I do tend to find things I'm not looking for.
I'm not looking for someone I can booty call or a hit it and leave it. We are two people who need respect. Now that does not mean I'm not up for a quick fling or even a one time thing.

This is an amazing dessert! It's now part of my regular "repetoire" of recipes for special occassions. However, I find it prettier to make individual shortcakes instead of just one big one. Also, do NOT substitute frozen or canned peaches or raspberries--you can tell the difference, trust me. I also ommitted the plums, as I don't care for them.
This is a terrific do ahead dessert. As we had to travel with it, I opted to keep the fruit separate, then ladled fruit and juices over the top at service time. Beautiful and delicious.

Right now our local farmer's market is full of glorious peaches, my blackberry patch is bent double with plump ebony gems, and the summer apples are ripening by the day. Wherever you are, you're probably experiencing a surge in seasonal produce, too, whether in your own backyard garden or at the supermarket produce aisle. With a quick lesson and some simple equipment, you can use that overabundance of fruits and berries to make some sweet treats you can eat later this winter. It's called canning—though we're using jars rather than cans in this case—and even though it was a traditional way of preserving food before refrigeration, it remains unmatched by any modern technique. It's not as hard to do as you may think.
What you need:
Canning jars and lids are designed to withstand temperature and pressure changes, and to make an airtight seal as they cool. Don't try reusing jars supermarket food came in for canning, no matter what your Aunt Irene tells you. Single-use jars may break (wasting food or possibly hurting someone) or fail to seal. Stick with jars that use modern two-piece canning lids (a flat lid and a separate screw-on band); older jars with glass lids are nifty to look at, but save them for storing dry goods. Quilted Crystal Jelly Jars are readily available at hardware and grocery stores in a variety of sizes. A box of 12 (including lids and bands) costs $8 to $10. Canning jars are a good investment, as they can be reused for decades; but to save money, watch for sales, ask older friends if they have jars they no longer use, or look for jars at yard sales. Look for jars that say Ball, Kerr, Atlas, or Mason in raised glass letters on the side or the bottom. To make a good seal, the top rim must be intact and smooth; there should be no visible scratches in the glass (which can lead to breakage). If you are not sure a jar is a real canning jar, don't use it for canning.
Other Equipment:
You will also need a large stockpot or canning pot at least two inches deeper than your tallest jar (or two jars, if you want to stack one on top of another), a rack that fits in the bottom to keep the jars up off the pot bottom (they may break if they sit directly on the pot), and a jar lifter (basically a pair of large-jawed tongs). A jar funnel, which helps get the contents into the jar, is nice but not required.
Here are two of my favorite recipes, along with some variations, to get you started making your own fruit preserves. Once you have the hang of it, you can explore the many canning recipe books out there. You'll have a fully stocked pantry before you know it! These foods will keep for about a year if kept sealed.
Old-Fashioned Peach Preserves
Makes about 7 half-pints
2 quarts coarsely chopped peaches (or apricots or plums or a combination), with or without the skins
6 cups white sugar or 4 cups honey
Variation: Add ¼ tsp mace, ½ tsp ground nutmeg, 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground cloves, and 1 cup citrus juice to the fruit mixture before cooking.
Combine fruit and sugar or honey in a glass bowl or a saucepan and allow to stand for 12 to 18 hours in the refrigerator. Slowly bring mixture to a boil in a thick-bottomed, stainless steel pot at least twice as deep as the raw preserves; they'll foam and expand while cooking. Once boiling, reduce the heat, and simmer mixture gently, stirring frequently, until the fruit is clear and the syrup thickens, about 40 minutes. Skim off any foam with a slotted spoon (put skimmings in a saucer to enjoy right away).
While the preserves are cooking, put the rack in your canning pot, put the clean jars in, lids off, and cover them with cool water. Bring the water to a boil, turn off the heat, and leave the jars in the water until your preserves are done. Prepare the lids per manufacturer directions. When the fruit mix is done, remove one jar from the water at a time with the lifter or tongs, carefully empty the jar, place it on a folded tea towel or cutting board, and fill it with preserves before lifting out another.
Ladle in the hot preserves, filling the jar to within about ¼ inch from the top. Wipe the rim clean, top it with a new lid, and loosely screw on a band (do not tighten it). Once all the jars are filled, put them back into the hot water, adjust the water level to an inch over the top of the jars, and bring back to a boil. Boil gently for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, lift jars out with tongs, and place them on a rack or cutting board to cool. Don't fiddle with the bands; as the lids cool you will hear a ping as each jar seals. When the jars are cool, remove the bands and test the seals. The center of each lid should be depressed, and the lid should adhere tightly to the jar. Jars that didn't seal can be put in the fridge to eat first, or you can clean the rim of the jar, put on a new lid and band, and reboil the jar as above. Replace the bands of the sealed jars; wash each jar, label it, and store it in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
Apple-Blackberry Jelly
Makes roughly 5 to 7 half-pints
My mother loved picking wild berries and turning them into jelly, and my very favorite jelly when I was a little girl was apple-blackberry. Blackberries add a wonderful flavor and color, while the apples, especially underripe ones, are rich in natural pectin so you don't have to buy any store-bought jelling aids. This is also a great way to use up any extra apples, especially the gnarly-looking ones.
2 quarts apples or crabapples, at least a few of them underripe, if possible
2 pints blackberries
Sugar or honey (exact measure will depend on how much juice you get)
Variations: Use raspberries, blueberries, or elderberries instead of blackberries for a different fruit flavor. For a spicy twist, cook 3 quarts of chopped apples with a few hot peppers. For a cool twist, cook 3 quarts of chopped apples, adding a cup of fresh mint leaves when the apples are almost mushy.
Wash apples and trim out any rotting spots. Chop into large chunks, stems, cores, and all. Place fruit in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Add enough water to cover the bottom inch or two of fruit. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring and mashing with a spoon. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is all soft and mushy.
Turn off and let the mixture cool as you line a stainless steel colander with a square of unbleached muslin (wet it first to keep it from slipping and/or attach it with clean clip clothespins). Or use a "jelly bag," a mesh bag designed to let the juice drain, but not the pulp. Put the lined colander over (but not in) a large bowl to catch the juice, tip the fruit mush into the colander, and let the whole thing sit undisturbed in the fridge for 12 to 18 hours. Resist the temptation to squeeze the last of the juice out of the remaining pulp, or your jelly will be cloudy.
Measure the juice and put it into the heavy-bottomed pot. For each cup of juice, add up to ¾ cup sugar OR 2/3 cup honey. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently (while you're doing this, ready your jars as described above for peach preserves). Continue to boil; test the jelly every few minutes by holding a spoonful of it over the pot and letting it slowly spill back in. At first the mixture will run like water, then it starts to come off in ribbons, and eventually it will fall in a single wide sheet. At that point, turn off the heat and skim off any foam. Ladle it into the hot jars, filling them to ¼ inch of the rim. Process as for peach preserves.
Once the jelly cools it will firm up. If it is still runny after two days (this happens to the best of us now and then) you have two choices: Pour the un-jelly back into the pot and cook it down some more (or add a commercial jelling product according to the package directions)—or call it syrup! Homemade fruit syrup is delicious on pancakes or homemade ice cream and makes a great gift, perhaps paired with a sack of whole grain pancake mix.

BYU football: Jamaal Williams, Taysom Hill are most prolific rushing duo in BYU history
Matt Gade, Deseret News
PROVO — No duo in BYU football history has been more prolific in terms of rushing yardage in a single season than quarterback Taysom Hill and running back Jamaal Williams.
And they've recorded nearly identical rushing statistics this year.
Hill has run 215 times for 1,211 yards while Williams has had 205 carries for 1,202 yards for a total of 2,413 yards — establishing a new single-season rushing record at BYU for a pair of rushers.
It's also the first time in BYU history two players have rushed for 1,000 in the same season.
The 2013 rushing mark for Hill and Williams topped the previous record of 2,043 combined rushing yards by quarterback Brandon Doman and running back Luke Staley in 2001.
Hill and Williams will lead the BYU offense when the Cougars meet Washington in the Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco on Dec. 27 (7:30 p.m. MST, ESPN) at AT&T Park.
Before the season started, Hill didn't think much about the possibility of the new offensive scheme, installed by offensive coordinator Robert Anae, producing two 1,000-yard rushers.
"I'm a little surprised that I rushed for as many yards as I did. Not surprised with the way Jamaal rushed," Hill said. "Looking back at it, with the offensive scheme, and the numbers that we put up, it makes sense to have it spread out the way that it was. It's been a really good season. I'm happy with the things that we as an offensive unit have accomplished. We look to build off that in this bowl game."
Perhaps the best news for the Cougars is that Hill and Williams, who combined to score 16 rushing touchdowns this season, are both sophomores.
Hill is already the most prolific rushing quarterback in school history (1,547 career yards). He became the first BYU player — and the 23rd in NCAA history — to rush for 1,000 yards and pass for 2,000 in a season. Hill has thrown for 2,645 yards.
Williams (1,977), meanwhile, needs a little less than 1,000 yards to surpass Jamal Willis for No. 3 on BYU's career list.
When it comes to single-season rushing, Hill and Williams currently rank No. 5 and No. 6, respectively, in BYU history — with one more game remaining. The all-time single-season Cougar rushing leader is Staley, who gained 1,582 yards in 2001.
Williams is coming off a career-high 219 yards in a 28-23 victory over Nevada in the regular-season finale on Nov. 30. That performance could propel him going into the bowl game.
"It helped me a lot. It helped me get back to my old ways. It was like a little reality check for me," Williams said. "I need to go back to those ways of running, just running hard and putting my body out there for the sake of the team and not worrying about getting hurt. Just going out there and playing relentless. That's what I want to do."
In the first half against Nevada, Williams eclipsed the single-season 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career on a 30-yard run. That gave BYU two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season for the first time in school history.
"I'm happy I got to it and I'm grateful to my line for helping me get over 1,000 yards, too," Williams said of his accomplishment. "This is a great milestone for me. My next milestone is to get to 1,500 (yards), and just keep building on those. The whole team goal is to get to the BCS and keep winning as a team — top 25 and everything. Team goals come before my goals. But at the end of the day, I'm happy I got over 1,000 yards."
In that win over the Wolf Pack, Williams ran just three times in the first half as the Cougars trailed at halftime, 7-0.

Now You See Me Movie Reviews
Now You See Me
Release Date: May 31, 2013
Genre: Suspense/Thriller
Rating: (PG-13)
User reviews on Now You See Me
I was kind of excited to see this film and I hoped that it will not disappoint me, but it did and I do not recommend seeing it in the theaters. I love magic and I hoped that the film will have a lot of great magic tricks and it did, except none of it was really performed, it was all CGI and camera trickery. The film had many impossible twists and turns and I was quite tired by the end of it and did not really care about the big shocker at the end. I did enjoy the performances and the characters in the film, the actors did a good job and they had a great chemistry on the screen. Overall, this film is better off watched at the comfort of your home.

Retired NBA legend Michael Jordan marries model Yvette Prieto
- From: AFP
- April 29, 2013
RETIRED NBA legend Michael Jordan married model Yvette Prieto at a ceremony in Florida on Saturday with a lavish reception at a luxury golf community, People magazine reported on Sunday.
Jordan, 50, led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA titles during his playing days and his name remains one of the top brands in sports marketing. He now owns the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats.
Prieto, 35, met Jordan at a Miami club in 2008 and they have dated for five years. The couple became engaged in 2011 and applied for a marriage license last month at the county courthouse in Palm Beach, Florida.
People reported that about 500 people attended the wedding ceremony in an Episcopal church and another 1,500 joined the couple for a reception at the Bear's Club, a golf course community in nearby Jupiter.
Looking back: 50 years of Michael Jordan
ESPN.com reported Tiger Woods, Spike Lee and Patrick Ewing were among those to attend the NBA Hall of Famer's wedding.
Entertainment included DJ MC Lyte, singers K'Jon, Robin Thicke and Grammy Award winner Usher and The Source, an 18-piece band.
People reported that Jordan recently purchased a home in the Bear's Club development, named for the designer of the course, 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus, whose nickname was the "Golden Bear".
It was the second marriage for Jordan, who divorced his first wife Juanita in 2006 after 17 years of marriage. They had three children together.Originally published as Inside Michael Jordan's lavish wedding

Man, watching all those Cubs fans in GAB is more than I can stand.
And watching Welch interviewing them in the stands is about to make me puke.
And having to run this lineup out there when we have a real shot at keeping these punks out of the playoffs is giving me a sportsfan hernia.
This is sad.

An examination of the Supreme Court disclosure forms by ABC News found that five of the justices have accepted tens of thousand of dollars in country club memberships. And Justice Clarence Thomas has received tens of thousands of dollars in valuable gifts, including an $800 leather jacket from NASCAR, a $1,200 set of tires, a vacation trip by private jet, and a rare Bible valued at $19,000.
"The rules dealing with gifts don't apply to Justice Thomas because the rules only apply to lower court judges," Gillers explained. "People give gifts to judges and justices because they have power. And they have power because of their position that they hold in trust. And to suggest that it doesn't matter, no one will care, seems to me to be whistling in the dark."
Some argue that the Supreme Court justices are setting a bad example for other judges, who have been criticized for accepting free trips to luxury resorts for education seminars.
"I think the judiciary is really at a crossroads right now. There is a multibillion-dollar influence peddling industry in Washington, and it really has the federal judiciary in its sights at this point," Doug Kendall, director of Community Rights Counsel and author of a study on trips for judges, said.
The issue of accepting paid trips found its way into the confirmation hearing for now Chief Justice John Roberts.
"So I'd like to know, Judge Roberts, if confirmed, whether you will use your power as chief justice to set a high ethical tone," Senator Russell Feingold, D-Wis., asked.
In reply, Roberts said, "Well, I don't think special interests should be allowed to lobby federal judges. Stated that way, I think the answer is clear."
Roberts, Scalia and Thomas declined comment and requests for interviews by ABC News. A spokesman for the Federalist Society also declined to comment.
Rhonda Schwartz and David Scott contributed to this report.
