Every young couple thinks their wedding will be extraordinary.
But when Megan Moscato and James Hoff get married this summer, that's a sure bet.
The man who will marry Meg and Jim at a Roman Catholic nuptial Mass is Dominican priest Robert Botthof.
It's hardly a shock that a priest will officiate. Except this priest is also Jim's grandfather. Yes, his biological grandpa.
And that's what makes their wedding so special. In a religion that does not allow priests to wed and requires them to take a vow of celibacy, it is almost unheard of that priests have children — or grandchildren.
"We tell people Jim's grandpa is going to be marrying us. They know we're getting married in the Catholic Church and they go, 'Wait, how does that work?'"
It works this way: The Catholic Church permits widowed deacons to become priests.
While Botthof was principal of Oak Park-River Forest High School, Mary, his wife of 23 years, passed away. Two years later, he took early retirement from the high school and a few years after that, with his two children married, Botthof decided to study for the priesthood.
What makes his story even more unusual is that after he became a priest, Botthof served as principal and president of Oak Park's Fenwick High School (just a few blocks from Oak Park-River Forest), a job at the Catholic high school that at that time could only be held by a Dominican priest.
Botthof celebrated the 25th anniversary of his ordination this month.
Performing the marriage of the first of his five grandchildren is "very unique and special," he says. "To me it's very meaningful because I'm really committed to their happiness," says the proud grandfather, 83, who also participated in Jim's baptism.
"We're really excited to have him be a big part of our day," says Meg, 28. Jim, who is in public relations, also 28, calls it one more "cool thing" about their wedding.
Another cool thing is the wedding music. Meg is the band director of the fourth- to eighth-graders at Saratoga Elementary School in Morris, and her students will play at the church. It will probably be an arrangement of "What a Wonderful World," but Meg says that's still under discussion.
"They're so excited for this. Some are going out and getting special dresses. Some have changed their vacation too," she says.
The kids got in at the very start of the wedding plans when a guy in a Marco's Pizza jacket walked into band practice, March 18, 2011, carrying seven pizzas.
Suddenly, the fellow in the sunglasses and fake mustache was on one knee, holding a diamond and proposing to Meg.
Although they've been a couple since late 2006, Meg was stunned by the pizza gambit.
"I was overwhelmed and overjoyed," she says. "I was shaking I was so excited."
"I knew he was going to come up with something good. That's the way he is. … But the thing that is so weird, the way he proposed to me was like my dream proposal … in front of my students because they're so important to me. I thought it would be cool for them to be a part of it but I never told him that."

The staff who check me is was nice. However the one who told me I could have a late check than when staff changed was telling me I am pass the time to leave. After I ask the original staff with approval. Overall, it was nice but I would like to visit again but I do not want a handicapped room save it for someone who really need it. The exterior of the property was clean. The room I had wasXXX and it was over the New Year weekend. The staff overnight when I check in was sweetheart it was a young lady and a man. The morning shift staff the man was way to serious. The young lady was pleasant to a certain extent. I hope that this property will honor guest with a more friendly service and a better room. Overall thank you, we might be back if we could get a suite. ...

The overall hotel experience was terrible. We complained multiple times about the WiFi not working, the attendant's response was "I don't know" when I asked what do we do about it now. The bedding and pillows were damp as soon as we arrived and throughout the stay. I asked for new pillows and sheets and she told me we could not get new pillows and the replacement fitted sheet was to fit a queen bed when I had a king. A cover sheet was not provided. Our "blanket" for the bed were two sheets put together. The rooms were filthy. Dust and hair lined the floor of the room and hair on the bathroom floor and toilet. Our TV picture was going in and out and even after I called twice to the front desk, she told me she could not come to room to check now but once her partner got back she could, she never came. We had to hit our TV to just get a picture. Our housekeeping woman walked into our room twice when we were there. The hotel was terrible and I would not recommend this place to anyone. ...

A while back, Brian posted an article about how we proposed to implement the equivalent to the Windows Forms Control.DesignMode property in Cider.
In his follow up article, he talks about how we dropped the original proposal and worked with the WPF team to get a the new DesignerProperties class into WPF's PresentationFramework assembly. This change was driven by the feedback he got on his blog -- your feedback makes a difference.
So instead of looking up a DependencyProperty through the AppDomain data context by name, you can check the DependencyProperty defined in the DesignerProperties class. A far better solution that both Cider and Sparkle will support.
When the designer starts up, it will change the default value of the IsInDesignMode attached property from false to true by overriding its metadata. For parts of the designer like the Property Browser or adorner layer that will host controls in a runtime context (as part of the design time UI), the IsInDesignMode property will be set to false on those visual trees.
What that means is that whenever a control is created, it will be able to check whether or not it is in design mode and get back a value of true if that control was created by the designer. This will, for the most part, be the correct and final value, unless that control is hosted in the Property Browser or Adorner context where the IsInDesignMode property will switch from true to false for that control when it is parented to its final visual tree.
Getting the IsInDesignMode Property
Here is a simple example of making a runtime versus design time decision using the DesignerProperties class:
public class CustomButton : Button { public CustomButton() { if (System.ComponentModel.DesignerProperties.GetIsInDesignMode(this)) { Content = "In Design Mode"; } else { Content = "Runtime"; } } }
Note how this code can be run from the constructor.
Setting the IsInDesignMode Property
Isn't setting the IsInDesignMode property the responsiblity of the designer? In most cases, yes... but not all cases.
Consider the situation where a control has design time adorners that popup a dialog when clicked. Since the dialog is not in the visual tree of the adorner layer, it will get the default value of the IsInDesignMode property which is set to true when the designer starts up.
In this case, the control developer will want to set the IsInDesignMode property to false for that dialog so that the controls on that dialog operate in a runtime context.
The DesignerProperties class has a SetIsInDesignMode property to accommodate this kind of scenario:
System.ComponentModel.DesignerProperties.SetIsInDesignMode(element, newValue);
Tracking Changes to the IsInDesignMode Property
It is important to track changes to the IsInDesignMode property as its initial value may not be its final value -- the Property Browser Editor or Adorner Layer example mentioned above.
For example, the value of the IsInDesignMode property when your custom control is instantiated by Cider will almost always be true.
If that control is being used within the Cider Property Browser in an Extended Editor you've written, it will change to false when that control is added into the Property Browsers visual tree where the IsInDesignMode property is false.
To track state changes of the IsInDesignMode property, override OnPropertyChanged.

Proto Whey
Goal: Build Muscle
Flavor: Cookies and Creme
Once again a fine product by this company. The flavor is literally cookies n'cream, its delicious and satisfying. This is not your average crappy vanilla and fake cookie flavor.
Goal: Build Muscle
Flavor: Cafe Mocha
I often don't leave feedback, but this product really made me do it.
I am really tired of drinking protein and I really mean this. Most proteins make me want to puke that is because there are not really many flavors that are good. And because I have been drinking protein for many years.
But this! Let me tell you about it.
First: The flavor is just delicious! I am talking about hands-down delicious! It is so good, you will want to be drinking this stuff none stop! That is how good it is! If you like frappuccinos/Ice coffee! you will love this stuff. It even taste good mixed with water! That is how good this stuff is.
Second: Mixability is just outstanding! And I really mean this! It completely mixes without any effort! There is no nasty bubbles or chunks.
Third: The nutritional content is outstanding! It contains some of the best available whey protein, in addition to healthy fats. However, it does contains some sugar (2g), but I was willing to sacrifice taking some sugar for a better tasting protein. I am guessing it doesn't contain any lactose because I haven't experienced any gas or bloating (I am very sensitive to milk products).
Fourth: You get you money in protein! 5.3LBs! You don't get none of the fake sh** advertisement! I weigh it and it was exactly 5.3lb of product (with a mild standard deviation 0.1lb - this is due to scale variability[different brand, calibration, etc.]).
This is a 15/10 product! I cannot wait to try the other flavors.
Goal: Healthy Lifestyle
Flavor: Strawberry Cream
This is my and my husband's favorite

St Patrick SchoolRead MoreRun by Stanford University's coaches' education trainer Mike Legarza and boasting a camper return rate of 90%, Legarza Basketball Camp develops young dribblers in a structured environment of positive support and fundamental basketball instruction, valuing hard work and effort. Morning camps focus on shooting and ball handling, as orb-bouncers will learn the basics of scoring and protecting the basketball. Players will be divided into teams for the week and play one game per day with a tournament at the end of the week. Afternoon camps concentrate on gameplay, as youngsters will be introduced to gamesmanship and strategy, such as when to feed the ball to the 7-footer in the post and when to feed the ball to the siberian tiger spotting up for a three-pointer.120 King StLarkspur, CA US
Marin BalletRead MoreLeona Norman founded Marin Ballet more than 40 years ago, holding classes in her own home. As an internationally trained and acclaimed dancer, Norman hoped to bring the same high-quality teaching she experienced abroad to dancers of all ages in Northern California. At her studio, which has expanded greatly to fill a bright and spacious facility in San Rafael's historic Dominican neighborhood, the current staff pursues the same mission of high-quality dance education under the tutelage of artistic director Cynthia Lucas, who trained under Norman. The studio now welcomes more than 600 adults and youths per year to hone their fancy footwork with a schedule of more than 100 classes per week. Ballet makes up the majority of Marin's curriculum, with training programs that start wee ones as young as 3 years old on the path to learning advanced techniques and pointe skills into adulthood. To balance out ballet-heavy schedules, students can enlist in infusion training, which covers such styles as modern dance, Pilates, jazz, flamenco, and West African dance. The students and their instructors also choreograph and present showcases and performances of such ballet classics as The Nutcracker, the beloved tale in which giant nuts ransack a village and are eventually destroyed by the heroic Nutcracker.100 Elm StSan Rafael, CA US
Sylvan Learning CenterRead MoreThe staff members at Sylvan Learning's numerous study facilities understand that each child learns differently. Therefore, they don't try to implement a uniform tutoring system; instead, they design custom lesson programs based on the results of standardized testing, diagnostic tools, and one-on-one interviews. Tutors work with students from kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan's instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results. After-school and summer classes can ready high-schoolers for the rigors of the ACT or the SAT, or they can help students to wow college-admissions officers with their superior essay-writing skills.430 Las Gallinas Ave.San Rafael, CA US

As part of an interactive campaign, booked through Spark, drivers will be able to race against each other using their smartphone and the Screach app from interactive technology start-up Screenreach.
Players can choose from a range of car models and colours to create a vehicle which can be raced along a simulation of America's Route 66 and collect Swiftcover.com tokens along the way.
To play, gamers must download the Screach app and enter the "60" code onto the keypad. Players can then use their handset to steer the car on the big screen.
Gamers who connect to the app through Facebook will have their profile image projected onto the digital screen and will also be able to post news from the game onto their page.
Amanda Edwards, senior marketing manager at swiftcover.com, said: "Once again, Swiftcover breaks with traditional forms of insurance advertising.
"This campaign allows us to interact nicely with our target audience, albeit in a very different environment and using a game format which absolutely resonates with the sentiments of the Get a Life campaign."
Ocean Outdoor won the £70m 10-year contract for outdoor advertising outside the Westfield shopping centre in London's White City after a competitive pitch ahead of the centre's launch in October 2008.
Tim Bleakley, chief executive of Ocean Outdoor, said: "This imaginative and highly relevant outdoor campaign shows how well digital out of home advertising harnesses edgy technologies and clever content to deliver something a little bit different."

While the internet was churning out regular rumors on the Apple TV 4, Curved was busy re-imagining how the same would look like. And according to them, though the set-top box as such has achieved an aesthetically pleasing look, the remote would be the major highlight of the next Apple TV.
New Apple TV 4 concept: Apple TV touch with completely redesigned, wirelessly rechargeable touch-based remote
In our report on Apple TV 6.1 update, we mentioned the new ability to scan for AirPlay devices via Bluetooth, in addition to the normal searching over WiFi. At that time, we couldn't attach much significance to it, as it only helps to find devices and not to conduct AirPlay Mirroring via Bluetooth. But as more expert eyes are falling on it, this feature is turning out to be a blessing for educational institutions.
So let's all bid a not-so-fond farewell to old man winter (finally) and catch that breath of fresh, spring air coming our way as we heat up those Apple TV's and bask in the reassuring glow of our cinematic security blankets this lovely, lovely weekend. And when it's time to kick back on the couch after all your vigorous outdoor activities we do hope this week's Pix Picks are equally refreshing for your weekend soul.
Besides rolling out the Apple TV 6.1 firmware, Apple also updated their Remote app for iOS aiming for better and easier use with Apple TV. The highlight features of Remote 4.2 are:

The Hopkins Society Second Annual Lecture: Gerard Manley Hopkins: Reflections after Fifty Years
INVITING F.R. Leavis to give the second annual Hopkins Society lecture, Fr. Thomas moved the prestige of the Hopkins Society to a higher academic level. Leavis, a world-class literary critic, was an early admirer of Hopkins's poetry.
An Emmanuel College, Cambridge University scholar, Leavis had a long association as a fellow of Downing College in the same University, during which time his lecturing and writing about literature gave him his distinction as a major critic. One of the founders of the literary magazine, Scrutiny, he edited, with others, nineteen volumes, one of the most notable literary journals of its time. Dr. Leavis also published many books, among the most significant, New Bearings in English Poetry (1932), Revaluation: Tradition and Development in English Poetry (1936), and The Common Pursuit (1952).
Fr. Thomas must have anticipated the importance of Leavis's lecture and he was not to be disappointed. In the opening of his lecture, given at the University of London, March 1, 1971, Leavis told his listeners about his first encounters with Hopkins's poetry, sometime shortly after the first edition was published in 1918. He noted that this personal and informal quality would be the tone of his paper. He then took up a theme he had fully discussed in his earlier books on English poetry, the change in English literature from Tennysonian formality to a revolutionary fresh use of current English in poetic utterance that became the poetic idiom of poetry of the twentieth century. This fresh evocation of modern English speech in twentieth-century poetry, in fact, was a recovery of the rich tradition of the kind of poetic language used by Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Hopkins's poetry, he argued, was one of the early instances of this major change in the use of literary English. He caustically pointed out Robert Bridges did not grasp this change in literary culture, a principal reason why he could not read Hopkins's poetry with any deeply critical understanding. One of the most suggestive critical aspects of this rich lecture is that Leavis approached Hopkins's poetry as a powerful instance of these "new bearings" in modern poetry. He commented on both the early and later poems of Hopkins with much subtle analysis and high critical verve, stressing its modernity. …

Member Reviews for Orin Swift Zinfandel Blend Napa Valley the PrisonerAdd your review
now this is a red to get your hands around as it gets around you Good Value for the money
This may just be the best wine I've tasted. Branham Jazz is right up there as well as the 2002 Silver Oak Cab but for $35-40 you simply won't find a better wine. Very rich, complex, more chocolate than fruit, simply outstanding.
This is my fovorite wine - no other wine seems to change so much from opening the bottle and the first pour to an hour later (or so) when I'm finishing the bottle. This wine is a regular in my celler and goes well with or without food. It's extrememly versatile in pairing with almost anything.
We first discovered this wine in a restaurant in Denver Co. What a delight! This is one of the most delicious reds I have ever tasted. Bold, full & rich in the mouth, but so smooth in the finish! A personal favorite for special gathering.
Among my top 5 favorite bottles ever, at any price.
Very bold. Very delicious.

As I stated last year, there is no Hommage a Jacques Perrin in 2006, but Beaucastelandrsquo;s 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape is performing even better from bottle than it did last year. Its dense plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a big, sweet perfume of black truffles, camphor, earth, incense, new saddle leather, and loads of peppery, blackberry, and herb-infused, meaty, black cherry fruit. Deep, full-bodied, and dense, with sweet tannin, this explosively rich Chateauneuf is a stronger effort than the 2005, 2004, or 2003. Anticipated maturity: 2012andndash;2028.
Beaucastel's 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape has turned out even better out of bottle than I predicted. An inky/ruby/purple color is followed by a glorious nose of blue and black fruits, truffles, pen ink, licorice, and meat juices as well as glorious levels of acidity and sweet tannin, buttressing the fruit's fabulous freshness and vibrancy. This full-bodied effort still displays considerable tannin, no doubt because of the relatively high Mourvedre content. It should resolve its tannins in 2-4 years, and last for 25 or more.
Dark ruby red. Full-bodied. Medium fruit. Moderately tannic. Black fruits, herbs, tobacco. Reasonably packed and solid, with some jammy character. Not as flattering, ripe or aromatically developed as one would expect. This might improve with some cellar age.
One of the largest estates in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape (272 acres total, with 198 in Châteauneuf), this property is owned and run by the Perrin family. In the 2005 vintage, they produced their best regular cuvée since 1989 (wine Spectator's Wine of the Year in 1991). the Beaucastel vineyard produces dense and explosive wines form a collage of 13 different grapes, most notably Grenache and Mourvèdre. Each is fermented separately in either concrete or wooden vats. The third year of drought, 2005 only intensified the concentration and structure of this ageworthy red.
Good full red. Less obviously ripe aromas of black cherry, dark berries, cocoa powder and smoke, plus a faint medicinal nuance. More open in the mouth today that the last; shows lovely sweetness and texture and very good cut and thrust. Hints of leather and game. Not quite as ripe as the '97, but finishes quite persistent, with a subtly perfumed quality. This may well be for drinking after the '97.
This is a beautiful wine, holding a perfect balance between bright, fresh fruit and savory notes of leather and spice. The blackberry flavors have a cool, foresty feel; the minerality runs deep, as smooth and overt as the galets that pave Beaucastel's vineyards. It's completely welcoming right now, especially with a rack of lamb.
Super-ripe blackberry and cassis fruit dominate the 2000 Beaucastel's aromatics. This low acid, accessible Beaucastel is likely to be bottled earlier than normal according to Francois Perrin. A classic blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise, with the remainder miscellaneous varietals, this deep ruby/purple-colored 2000 possesses a sweet nose dominated by black fruits, loads of glycerin, full body, and superb purity. It will be atypically delicious young, yet will last 15-20 years.

Denali National Park and Preserve is an environment of extreme temperatures, tall mountains, glacial landscapes, and more. As it is difficult, if not impossible, for many teachers and students to come to the park, Denali has created new free, interactive, distance learning programs to help classes learn about this special place and enhance existing curricula.
In the winter of 2013-2014, a Denali education ranger and Alaska Geographic educators teleported themselves via Skype into 3rd through 6th grade classrooms across the United States to present fun, standards-based science lessons on sled dog adaptations and the geology of Mt. McKinley. The ranger and educators Skyped with 2,757 students in 24 states. Due to the popularity of the program, 19 more sessions occurred after the cutoff date. Teacher and student feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Based on these successes, Denali plans to offer distance learning programs from November through January on an annual basis. Denali's distance learning programs support two Call to Action goals: Live and Learn and Go Digital.

Washington — President Barack Obama on Thursday marked Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month by calling on Congress to pass legislation banning workplace discrimination against gays, lesbians and others. "I want to sign that bill," he said.
Obama said such bias is wrong and must end. He said that in more than 30 states people can be fired because of who they are or who they love. He said legislation pending in Congress would end workplace discrimination "now and forever" against lesbians, gays, bisexual and transgender individuals.
"We need to get that passed. I want to sign that bill. We need to get it done now," Obama said at a reception in the White House East Room.
Obama was referring to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would prohibit workplace discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity by employers, employment agencies, labor organizations and others.
Similar bills are pending at the committee level in the House and Senate.
At the reception, Obama recited some of what his administration has done for gays and lesbians, including enacting a hate crimes law, including LGBT victims in the Violence Against Women Act and requiring hospitals that accept Medicare and Medicaid to treat LGBT patients the same as other patients.
New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio and his partner, who are legally married in Connecticut, were invited to the White House Thursday in celebration of LGBT Pride Month.
Finizio and Todd Ledbetter were to represent New London at the White House, where the city is being recognized nationally for its commitment and support of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, according to a press release.
Gay rights advocates have been pushing for Obama to sign an executive order barring federal contractors from anti-gay discrimination in the workplace. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Thursday that the administration favors the legislative approach.

Karen Cleary is a fully qualified British Wheel of Yoga teacher with over 25 years experience of practising yoga. She has explored a wide range of yoga traditions and styles and studied with many respected teachers.
Karen is inspired by the teachings of T.K.V. Desikachar, which encourage yoga to be accessible to all, and which recognise the importance of yoga practices beyond the purely physical.
Her own practice and teaching are also influenced by the intention of undoing tensions and being in rather than doing postures. She has explored these ideas under the guidance of John Stirk and Peter Blackaby and continues to study with other Scaravelli-inspired teachers.
In recent years, Karen has studied mahamudra meditation with Maaarten Vermasse, as well as attending insight meditation retreats. She completed the NICE-recognised eight-week mindfulness course and has now trained to teach this course. Karen continues to maintain her own regular meditation practice.

Have I mentioned the weather conditions here in Virginia? Hot and humid. But thankfully much cooler in the shade than in the sun. Once again we had breakfast at the Lodge. We liked the breakfast buffet so much yesterday that we opted for it again today. Yesterday thete were fluffy little pancakes. Today there was french toast. Crisp bacon, beautifully browned breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs, fruit, customized omelets, delicious muffins and croissant. I saw grits and oatmeal, but I'm not really a fan of either - Drew had the grits yesterday and loved them. The fried potatoes were ok but would have been better without their skins. Then it was back to the historic area. We saw most of tge buildings and exhibits yesterday. Today we saw the Peyton Randolph House, the cooper, the brickmaker and the military encampment, where Drew went through firearms training. Toured one of the taverns. We also stopped by the St. George Tucker House. Drew donated to the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, which makes him a member entitled to benefits. We got a tour of the house and a delightful chat with the Marquis de LaFayette. We also saw several reenactments, including Benedict Arnold in British uniform telling the Virginians to end their revolution, and George Washington addressing the city just before marching to Yorktown. Our evening began at the Capitol, for a one-hour presentation called "Cry Witch". In colonial times the county court could try misdemeanors but only the high court in Williamsburg could try felonies, inckyding witchcraft. It waa interesting to see court proceedings. Our group voted for conviction. Then it was on to Chownings for the Gambols. This starts at 9 PM, after the restaurant stops serving its regular dinner menu. Light fare -- appetizers and desserts -- are offered. We ordered the appetizer sampler, which was actually enough food for two of us for dinner - small portions of bbq ribs, pulled pork sandwich, cole slaw and very very spicy wings. We enjoyed the big basket of peanuts while we waited for the food. Drew liked his white wine -- very sweet. I was disappointed that there was no King's Arms ginger ale, and stuck with diet coke instead. Enjoyed the musical performances and the board games. Tomorrow it's on to Busch Gardens.

Duel over Apple's punishment for e-book price-fixing
US antitrust attorneys defended their push to restrict Apple in the e-books market as hearings opened Friday on how to punish the the tech giant found guilty of price-fixing.
US antitrust attorneys defended their push to restrict Apple in the e-books market as hearings opened Friday on how to punish the the tech giant found guilty of price-fixing.
A US government lawyer accused Apple Monday of concocting a deliberate scheme to fix prices of electronic books as the antitrust trial against the tech giant got underway.
Apple goes on the defensive Monday with the start of a trial in which US officials allege the company was the "ringmaster" of a conspiracy to raise prices of electronic books.
A federal judge on Friday struck down an effort to form a class action lawsuit to go after Apple, Google and five other technology companies for allegedly forming an illegal cartel to tamp down workers' wages ...
Apple chief Tim Cook and Google chairman Eric Schmidt are expected to face questioning in a lawsuit accusing Silicon Valley giants of secretly agreeing not to "poach" one another's workers, according to officials ...
(AP) -- The government says avid best-seller readers who use electronic books have been getting ripped off. Tina Fey's "Bossy Pants," Tim Tebow's "Through My Eyes" and Keith Richards' `"Life" - maybe they ...
Hackers have targeted the public websites of the operators of the Nasdaq and Bats stock exchanges over the past two days with cyberattacks that disrupted the sites but had no impact on trading.
The website of the Central Intelligence Agency was briefly inaccessible on Friday after the hacker group Anonymous claimed to have knocked it offline.
The US Federal Trade Commission is poised to open a formal antitrust probe into whether Internet search giant Google has abused its dominance on the Web, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
Google's entry into the online travel sector was cleared for takeoff Friday as the US Justice Department gave the green light to its $700 million purchase of flight data company ITA Software.
The US Justice Department wants Internet service providers and cell phone companies to be required to hold on to records for longer to help with criminal prosecutions.
A 21-year-old Swede was indicted on charges of hacking into the computer systems of NASA and US networking giant Cisco, the US Justice Department said.
The US Justice Department said Monday it is re-examining its controversial use of secret cellphone tracking devices to establish the location of suspects in criminal investigations, a spokesman said.
The US Justice Department maintained a secret database of Americans' international phone calls for more than a decade before ending the program in 2013, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Five people were arrested Monday following a global "cyber heist" in which hackers stole $45 million by overriding the cash withdrawal limits of prepaid debit cards, US officials said.

I want to buy a new MoBo and Processor, but...
i'm planning to buy a new MoBo and Processor (AMD Barton), but i dont know a mobo, which meets the following demands:
- Full Linux IDE-Support (incl. DMA)
- AGP 8x support
- has to support a nvidia ti 4200
- stability!
(- has firewire)
(- has LAN on-board, not important)
What about a VIA KT400?
Any hints?
Niklas ;)
What about nforce2 ?
It has all the stuff above +
Dual Chanel DDR @ 400 and the FSB (400)
Sound 5.1 (good for music and Unreal)
Stability !! Good Drivers from Nvidia
S-ATA Raid (some good motherboards)
paired with some Seagate HDD gonna rock
This is my next upgrade want to do
(now i have a soltek kt333 )
If "has Firewire" is important right now, I wouldn't go with nForce2 - I've heard some implementations have broken IEEE-1394a support at the moment.
Possibly the KT400A may fit your bill, but that won't be out for a month or two yet.
just buy the nforce2
is the best socket A motherboard money
can buy . When i will got mine tell you how
good it is . KT400A isn't here (2 months) also
NVIDIA rocks at drivers (Ehhh there are some
small problems in 2d linux but is ok) . Also the
Dual Channel is Good Thing (tm) this is why the
next intella chipsets got Dual Channel Inside .
Just want to hear the 5.1 Suround Unreal 2003 hehehe
:) with Nforce 2 . My next upgrade of motherboard is this http://www.soltek.com.tw/English/product/75frn-r.htm
5.1 and linux?
is there "5.1" linux support?
and what about the quality of the nvidia nforce driver? no crashes, etc...?
does agp 8x work with linux?
niklas :p
asus a7n8x 2400xp
(overclocked 166x13.5 now runs perfectly at 2800xp
specs)a saving of 300 EURO or USD whatever!
I havent tried agp 8x , it should work, but I dont know cos I dont have one. Nevertheless GF4-4200 runs like a mad man. bare in mind the difference between 4x and 8x is negligable read tomsharware articles on the subject.
I dont know about firewire stock a7n8x does'nt have one. although delux version does.
nvidia drivers for audio don't support full duplex, use alsa drivers instead.
nforce2 should be faster than kt400. even in linux.
thx for the help!
my decision:
im going to buy an
Asus A7N8X Deluxe SocketA/nVidia nForce2 ATX Sound / LAN / S-ATA / RAID / FireWire
Niklas :)
I recommend the LeadteK K7NCR18D-pro. The price is great and it's rock solid and running Gentoo here. The system is 3 weeks old and ran a full system recompile that took about 36 hours and the thing never coughed once. AthlonXP's need a lot of air but 2 case fans and the stock heatsink and fan keep the processor at about 110 degrees F even under heavy load The 5.1 stereo support is "on the way", the on-board nic is solid and supported well by nvidia lm-sensor support is in the CVS version 2.8.0 so it will work now if you want to go CVS or soon if you're patient like me

technology can replace stringent drug regulation in the fight against falsified and substandard drugs. The sentiment that no one can test quality into drugs is true to a certain extent. It is important to be able to test drug quality, but also important to impose good manufacturing practices on companies to prevent quality problems before they arise. However, effective use of technology can help improve drug quality. A study on drug quality in Nigerian pharmacies before and after handheld spectrometers were distributed indicated that drug quality improved when testing became more reliable and convenient (Bate and Mathur, 2011).
Making detection technology more accessible in low- and middle-income countries is invaluable to controlling the trade in falsified and substandard drugs. Technologies can protect consumers and also help generate accurate estimates of the magnitude of the problem. An understanding of the technological landscape, the range and gaps in available technologies, and the likely improvements in the near future is necessary for using technologies in developing countries.

French Open to increase prize money to £20.6m this year
The French Open will reportedly increase the prize money to 20.6 million pounds this year, with the singles champions each receiving 1.36 million pounds.
That is an increase of 150,000 euros on the cheques picked up by champions Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams last year and an overall increase of three million euros.
According to the BBC, players at this year's French Open who are beaten in the second and third rounds will pick up 20 percent more prize money than last year, which equates to 42,000 and 72,000 euros respectively while those losing in the fourth round will take home 125,000 euros - a 25 percent increase
The French Open, the second Grand Slam of the year, starts at Roland Garros in Paris on May 25 this year, the report added. (ANI)

A man is sought out by the local citizens for his apparent ability to cure illnesses with unconventional suggestions, like stripping naked, pressing your face against a rock, licking it 13 times, and redressing. (hahah). While he seems to be able to cure those who ask, he does not take his apparent ability seriously but patronizes the community to their benefit. He cannot though seem to help his wife who is confined to a wheelchair. The locals suggest it is just a matter of faith in his powers, but if he does not believe in them himself…

I liked the episode. I want to say it was sappy but the moral of the story was delivered in such a sweet way, that using "sappy" would be an insult. I just wish the tape was running at regular speed. Things like that can be fixed these days but, all to often, I hear the slllooowww delivery of an episode. It really does take away from the show.

I love all of Eslpeth Eric's stories!
Gina Schackel, 2013-11-12 14:15:49
A good listen with some redemption where we didn't know redemption was needed until near the end. I, too, didn't like that they slowed down EG to stretch out the episode, but they do it on occasion.
Alec, 2014-09-17 14:06:53
I must be starting to soften on Ms. Eric. This is not a great script by any means, goes on too long and returns too little, but it's not bad. Notably, she avoided a three-minute monologue from some mystic newsletter to explain how the protagonist just-so-happens to prescribe remebies that actually have some curative benefit and just lets us fill in that blank for ourselves. The ending is silly and sappy, as is often the case with CBSRMT.

text: I also recommend the KX; bought mine new in 1977. In the UK they are still holding their prices quite well but here the market for older autofocus Pentax SLR's seems to have nosedived. A few days ago I was able to purchase from a dealer an excellent Z-50P (PZ-50P in US) body for just £49 which is less than half of what a KX would cost. And this is only 10 years old while the KX cameras are now around 25 years old. Unlike the K1000 they didn't stay in production of a very long period. So if you can pick up a Z/PZ series body at a low price it might be worth considering as it can be switched to manual and unlike some of the later MZ/ZX series it is compatible with the earlier bayonet lenses.

30 year old woman | New York, NY, USA | Seeking men 29-35 within 10 miles of Manhattan, NY
Don't worry. Someday you'll find that person who is perfect for you. They can't hide forever. We have satellites." - WTNV
Hello there. I like to think of myself as down-to-earth, caring, imaginative, and self-inquisitive. I spend a lot of time with all things related to self development (books, blogs, YouTube vids, podcasts, etc). Last year, I decided to go vegan. However, on occasion, I'll have eggs and dairy. And I don't demonize people who eat meat — everyone is on a different path and that one is just not mine. I went vegan simply to live healthier and more vibrant life and I don't regret it making the change. Lately, I've made it a priority to practice talking to strangers like they're already my friends. Talking wasn't my strong suit growing up so now I'd like to be more eloquent. I'm slowly but surely learning to play the ukulele. I enjoy cartoons and animation (probably more so than the average adult) especially anything made by Pendleton Ward and Don Hertzfeldt. Quite honestly, the reason I started the ukulele is because of the catchy tunes from Adventure Time, Pendelton Ward's first show. I think my passion for art and design lead me to a career where I plan, build, and animate ads — it's fun (mostly) and I'm really glad my job is this way :) I tend to listen to podcasts. One of the podcasts I most look forward to is Welcome to Night Vale. If you haven't listened to it, its creepy, funny, smart, sad, and philosophical all at the same time. It's creepy enough to make you paranoid but funny enough to disregard it. That is, until your alone at night with your thoughts. Anyway, my other go-to podcasts are the Make Shift Happen Show with Dean Dwyer and Two Gomers Run for Their Lives. Both insightful, brilliant, and hilarious at times. So, this is me. I'm into self improvement, natural health, creating happiness, and doing my best to live the best life possible. If you're kinna similar, send me an email. If you're shy, send me a wink. If you're unimpressed, take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror (just kidding!).

I enjoy books, blogs, podcasts, YouTube vids on self improvement, nutrition, becoming more loving. I don't know if this is "fun" but lately I've been super passionate about detoxing but I won't get too into the details on a dating profile haha.
"May Cause Miracles" by Gabrielle Bernstein. Currently reading "Daring Greatly" by Brene Brown. So far I'm loving it — very insightful regarding vulnerability and how it relates to love and leadership.

Brains? Stinky, runny cheeses that smelled like dead man's feet? Horsemeat? Sweetbreads? Bring it on!! Whatever had the most shock value became my meal of choice. For the rest of that summer, and in the summers that followed, I ate everything. I scooped gooey Vacherin, learned to love the cheesy, rich Normandy butter, especially slathered on baguettes and dipped in bitter hot chocolate. I sneaked red wine whenever possible, tried fritures—tiny whole fish, fried and eaten with persillade — loving that I was eating heads, eyes, bones and all. I ate ray in beurre noisette, saucisson a l'ail, tripes, rognons de veau (kidneys), boudin noir that squirted blood down my chin.
And I had my first oyster.
Now, this was a truly significant event. I remember it like I remember losing my virginity — and in many ways, more fondly.
August of that first summer was spent in La Teste sur Mer, a tiny oyster village on the Bassin d'Arcachon in the Gironde (Southwest France). We stayed with my aunt, Tante Jeanne, and my uncle, Oncle Gustav, in the same red tile-roofed, white stuccoed house where my father had summered as a boy. My Tante Jeanne was a frumpy, bespectacled, slightly smelly old woman, my Oncle Gustav, a geezer in coveralls and beret who smoked hand-rolled cigarettes until they disappeared onto the tip of his tongue. Little had changed about La Teste in the years since my father had vacationed there. The neighbors were still all oyster fishermen. Their families still raised rabbits and grew tomatoes in their backyards. Houses had two kitchens, an inside one and an outdoor "fish kitchen.". There was a hand pump for drinking water from a well, and an outhouse by the rear of the garden. Lizards and snails were everywhere. The main tourist attractions were the nearby Dune of Pyla (Europe's Largest Sand Dune!) and the nearby resort town of Arcachon, where the French flocked in unison for Les Grandes Vacances. Television was a Big Event. At seven o'clock, when the two national stations would come on the air, my Oncle Gustav would solemnly emerge from his room with a key chained to his hip and ceremoniously unlock the cabinet doors that covered the screen.
My brother and I were happier here. There was more to do. The beaches were warm, and closer in climate to what we knew back home, with the added attraction of the ubiquitous Nazi blockhouses. There were lizards to hunt down and exterminate with readily available petards, firecrackers which one could buy legally (!) over-the-counter. There was a forest within walking distance where an actual hermit lived, and my brother and I spent hours there, spying on him from the underbrush. By now I could read and enjoy comic books in French and of course I was eating — really eating. Murky brown soupe de poisson, tomato salad, moules marinieres, poulet basquaise (we were only a few miles from the Basque country). We made day trips to Cap Ferret, a wild, deserted and breathtakingly magnificent Atlantic beach with big rolling waves, taking along baguettes and saucissons and wheels of cheese, wine and Evian (bottled water was at that time unheard of back home).

1580s, "apostate," probably (with change of suffix) from Spanish renegado, originally "Christian turned Muslim," from Medieval Latin renegatus, noun use of past participle of renegare "deny" (see renege). General sense of "turncoat" is from 1660s. The form renegate, directly from Medieval Latin, is attested in English from late 14c. As an adjective from 1705.

ATLANTA - DECEMBER 27: Lawrence Sidbury #90 of the Atlanta Falcons scores a touchdown against quarterback Brian Brohm #4 of the Buffalo Bills after recovering a stripped ball at Georgia Dome on December 27, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
The Falcons are facing a lot of decisions this off-season and that starts with their 14 unrestricted free agents. We will go through them one by one and decide whether or not the Falcons should re-sign them. A lot of times it's not as easy as it looks as some decisions have more than just roster spot implications. We also have to think about the salary cap as it is expected to increase by just $200,000 this season. The last time Sidbury made a play McNabb was still a thing. Lawrence Sidbury, occasionally called Sid the Kid, was considered a great value pick for Atlanta at the end of the fourth after showing great athleticism at the combine. Sid ran a 4.53 40 at 266lbs, the best of any defensive lineman in 2009. Hopes were high for the raw defensive end but between four years, two defensive coordinators, and a lack of pass rushers opposite John Abraham, Sidbury struggled to get on the field. Sid's stat line this year makes Ray Edwards look like an all-pro: 1 tackle. Sadly he struggles against the run and does not play special teams, making him a frequent healthy scratch through his career. He is often an offseason favorite, predicted to take that next step and become a great spot player. Sid followed up his four-sack effort in 2011 by only playing 10 games during the season and zero in the playoffs. Even after Ray Edwards was allowed to pursue his boxing career, Sid failed to take advantage of the opportunity. Basically, this is the easiest of our free agent decisions I have been able to make. Verdict: Sidbury is a one-trick pony that has failed as anything other than a situational pass-rusher and will not be resigned. With the young talent Atlanta has in Cliff Matthews and Jonathan Massaquoi, I would not be surprised if Sidbury is not even given an offer. Say adios to Sid the Kid, and everything that could he could have been, because he will not do anything else in Atlanta.

Poll: Do you enjoy my stories? Vote Now!
Author has written 11 stories for Kids, Romance, Action, General, Song, Manga, Humor, and Essay.
Hello! I'm Coolio17. (You can skip right down to the "My Status as of Now" section if you want...)
The truth is, it is a talent that I discovered by just looking at something and getting random epiphanies. They kept getting more and more frequent when I started to write them down in a little notepad. Some of the stories, however, wanted to reach out and grab the attention of the world. They just kept piling up, the stories in my head, when I decided, "GAH! I should write them down."
Then I started to write them. I started to collect notebooks with tons of paper in them, and just write. One of my stories had filled up almost an entire section of my notebook when I just said, "Screw this, I'm typing them." But then I couldn't get access to a computer as often as I should have been. So I went back to notebooks. I probably have about a hundred stories, some short, and some really really long (in my mind anyway).
My sister is really hard to please. When I showed her my soccer story, she loved it! I began thinking, "I should get a fictionpress account." I had been a huge fan of fanfiction a few years back, then I took a break (for a few years) and I remembered that my sister (the same one) had been a fictionpress junkie.
There's the story of my life, deal with it.
My Inspiration: Everything
My Goal: Sharing my stories with the world
My status as of now: Alice in the Wonderland School for the Gifted. Still working on the title. I'm a stickler for unique titles. Let's just call it "Alice" for now. It's about a girl named Alice, obviously, and it's pretty much a longer, screwier, schoolier, rearranged version of the original. Sequel in the planning stages, too, based on the actual sequel, with some... minor embellishments. bwahaha. Two of my best friends love it already (if you're wondering about the other two, let's just say they don't know it exists :P ). Oh, and please don't kill me if I don't post in on Fiction Press! I might actually publish this one just for shiggles (sh-ts and giggles combined). If I don't think it's good enough, I'll post it here anyway. :3
Regarding I Luv Soccer: This story is DONE!! FINISHED!! FI-NI-TO!! I WILL NOT BE UPDATING ANY MORE CHAPTERS!! But I''m turning it into a screenplay. I'm changing a few scenes, too. Currently on hiatus, since my future career is getting in the way. Not that I mind; I still have summers until then. I'm also going to re-write it and post it with a different title. Keep an eye out, okay? I explained everything in the forum I created about it.
