Jewish Weddings 101
We Also Recommend
Jewish marriage is integral to God's plan of ongoing creation, which began with the creation of the first human couple, Adam and Eve. Marriage not only provides individual companionship, but it ensures the physical and spiritual survival of humanity by creating communities that reflect divine law.
About Weddings
Modeled on a property transaction in which the groom paid the bride's father a bride price (mohar), marriage has evolved into a more spiritual commitment. Yet even today the legal basis of traditional Jewish marriage is rooted in acquisition, with the marriage effected by the husband's bestowal of a wedding ring and the wife's passive acceptance. Despite the imbalance of power in the husband's favor, however, Jewish law quickly evolved to create protections for women. The ketubah (marriage contract) obligates a husband to provide food, clothing, and sexual satisfaction to his wife. It also includes a lien to be paid by the husband to the wife in case of divorce.
Liturgy, Ritual, and Custom
The Jewish wedding is not just a one-day affair. The "wedding" rituals began with the decision to get married. A tenaim ceremony heralds the upcoming marriage by reading a document of a commitment and shattering a dish. Closer to the wedding is the aufruf, where the groom (or the couple) recites a blessing over the Torah and is showered with candy. The bride has the opportunity to prepare spiritually by immersing herself in the mikveh (ritual pool), a custom many grooms follow as well.
On the wedding day, before the ceremony, the ketubah is signed by two witnesses, and many couples do the bedeken ceremony in which the groom covers the bride's face with a veil.
The marriage ceremony, conducted under a huppah (marriage canopy), has two parts–the betrothal, known as erusin or kiddushin, and the actual marriage, nissuin. The Ketubah is generally read between these two parts. The betrothal traditionally includes:
1) two blessings, one over wine and one reserving the couple for each other;

If you enjoy bass fishing, winning cash, prizes and trophies, then you might want to consider entering in this year's Big Bass Rodeo. The Pushmataha County Sportsman Club will host the 42nd Annual Big Bass Rodeo on April 20-21, at Pine Creek Lake. This is the oldest, continuous running big bass tournament in the state and quite possibly the nation. This is the club's only fund raising event. Proceeds from the tournament will be used for prizes and food at the club's free youth tournament, scheduled for May 11 at McGee Creek, awards and prizes for kids during the annual awards banquet, as well as other club and community activities.
Headquarters for the Big Bass Rodeo will be at the pavilion on Rock Creek Point in Little River South Park. The entry fee is $25.00 per angler. The first 120 contestants will receive a Big Bass Rodeo cap provided by Pruett's and AmeriState Bank of Antlers. You must be member of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club to compete. Memberships are $15.00 per year or a temporary membership, good for one tournament, is available for $5.00. There is a guaranteed first place prize of $500.00. Winners are determined by the weight of their largest bass weighed in. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top five finishers based on a percentage of the total entry fee money. Each of the top five contestants will also receive a trophy compliment of FirstBank in Antlers. This tournament would not be a success without the support of our local merchants. Sixth place on down will win prizes donated by these merchants until the supply of prizes is exhausted.
Contestants may enter on Friday, April 19, from 5:30 until 9:30 p.m. at the tournament headquarters or on Saturday morning before the start of the tournament. Fishing times will be from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and from 7:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Members are reminded that turkey season opens on Monday, April 22, in the southeast counties of Oklahoma. Those wishing to enter the club's turkey season contest must have their entries in before season begins. Entry for the contest is $7.00 per person. Successful hunters must take their bird to Kiamichi Taxidermy to have it weighed and measured for the contest. Prizes are awarded for the heaviest bird and the turkey with the longest beard. Entry fees may be paid at Silvey's Tax or at Kiamichi Taxidermy.View more articles in:

text: I am moving in on 40 (maybe not be mid life to Moses or George Burns, but it feels that way to me...ha). I've read the DT series, among many other of King's classics. However, somehow Ive managed not to read The Stand. Dunno why. Perhaps I was simply turned off by the tv movie from the 90s. I actually hated it (altho the intro part with Dont Fear the Reaper was pretty cool). Ive always been a huge Randall Flagg fan, however, so last night as I browsed the K section at the used book store, I thought to myself... "dammit Uncle Louie.. youre almost 40... buy the Stand, shut up, and just read it). Heres to hoping the book is nothing like the movie!

Wind: 0 mph
By Lizzy Hewitt, contributing reporter/editor
Debbie Lesure officially takes over as principal of Moretown Elementary School on July 1, but she was already in her new office on Tuesday.
Lesure, whose background is in school psychology, has been involved in education for about 30 years. She comes to Moretown from a year as interim principal at East Montpelier Elementary School. Prior to that, she spent four years as principal at an elementary school in Antrim, New Hampshire.
Lesure and her husband live in Fayston. They have had a house in the Mad River Valley for 10 years. When she was offered the interim principal position in East Montpelier, they took the opportunity to move here full time.
"It's already a wonderful school," said Lesure. "I don't envision any big changes. In this first year I want to get to know the school, the kids, and the community. It's a learning experience." Her vision for elementary education in general is to get kids excited about learning. "I want the kids to wake up and want to be here."
East Montpelier Elementary School was the biggest school that Lesure has led. She looks forward to working in a smaller school because of the importance of community. "I think this is pretty much a perfect size. You can know every child."
Several new administrators will be starting in schools across Washington West Supervisory Union school district in the coming months. "I think it offers some exciting opportunities," said Lesure. Waitsfield Elementary School has a new principal, Kaiya Korb. The superintendent, Brigid Scheffert, is also new.
In the spring, Lesure spent a day in the school to prepare for the transition. She sat in on classes and started to get to know the kids. The most popular question: "Do you have a dog?" (Yes, she has a hound dog.) Many students were interested in her favorite authors and books. On Field Day, she had a chance to see the children in a different light as they celebrated the end of the school year.
Lesure will use the summer months to become familiar with the school to ease the transition in the fall. "This is a good time to get to know policies and procedures and meet the teachers." She hopes to squeeze in some vacation time to enjoy the Vermont summer.
"It's hard to go in as a one-year principal. I plan to stay put here," Lesure said. "As an elementary school principal, you make an investment in the community. You get to know the people and the town."
When school starts up in the fall, Lesure plans to welcome kids back with an assembly. She will introduce new students, any new staff, and herself to the student body. "I plan to be as visible as I can be over the first weeks," she said.

Style: Savate, Combatives(BJJ)--
Brock vs. Fedor Arguement
Probably already done, but I've been getting **** from one of my buddies because I think Fedor would break Lesnar's cocksword in two..
..and he seems to think that Brock is the "Future of MMA" and that Fedor is "Past his prime and is fighting has-beens" and is "Hiding in Russia"
This debate between us has been going on since UFC 100 and since neither of us seems to be giving ground, I figured you guys could impart some old fashioned Bullshido wisdom on the matter, and give your thoughts as to who would win and why.
From my Cock Chestner loving buddy:
(Forgive the mispelling, copied and pasted as was written)
"heres why i think he wont get dominated
first off
frank mir is a master at jiu jitsu
he couldnt do **** on the ground
second off
i dont think fedor is as good as he once was
arlovski was kicking his ass till that bounce off the ropes hook he got nailed by
third, hes much more powerful and faster than fedor
he fights like a much smaller HW
as far as speed goes
and fedor is getting more and more out of shape"
So, what you guys think?

I think you should fight your own battles.
That being said, Brock is not faster than Fedor. Brock is faster than >99% of all 290 lb. humans in the world, but he is not faster than a man noted for being fast at 230 lb.
Arlovski was also not kicking Fedor's ass by any stretch of the imagination. That man has pulled himself out of much more trouble before, a couple of leg kicks and a handful of straight punches just don't mean anything against Fedor. Especially from someone we knew was going to rely on striking, and doubly so when said striker gets KO'd in such spectacular fashion.
I highly doubt your friend has been paying enough attention to say with any certainty that Fedor is getting "more and more out of shape".
Also, Frank Mir did the wrong thing. Fedor's smart enough to learn from that lesson.
That being said, Brock has as good or better of a chance to win than anyone has in a long while.

As much as they want to hype Cock Lesnar's hands I'm not biting. I saw his training high lights and his hands were ****. They were slllloooooowwww, bad technique, so on. I think that trainer is starting to believe the bs he's feeding the reporters and Lesnar. If he wasn't such a good wrestler and SOOO HUGE he wouldn't be anywere near the UFC.Originally Posted by MrBadGuy

I think that brock is a force to be reckoned with, but he is stoppable. Emelianenko is somebody that exploits peoples weaknesses. for example, against Coleman, he arm-barred him when he tried a typical wrestling style pin with the arm. brock is an amazing athlete but he has holes in his game. he will be beaten believe you me. it just might take a little time.

Fedor is the better overall fighter, there's no doubt in my mind about that, but Brock is a world class wrestler and with all his weight stands a hell of a chance. I'd like to see Brock get his ass handed to him by a fighter as humble as Fedor, but who knows how it'll turn out?"Intelligence is nothing more than discussing things with others. Limitless wisdom comes of this." - 山本 常朝
Style: MCMAP, Judo, sex appeal--
Couture was doing well against brock, and he's half his fuckin' size! A lucky punch won the fight for Cock Lobster.
Fedor doesn't have a weak chin, though. Not saying Randy does, but he's been KO'd more times then Fedor...

i want to
stay connected with dr. michalsky on twitter!
Follow him at @MarcMichalskyMD for some of the most up-to-date health information regarding healthy weight and nutrition.
Weight loss surgery is not for all overweight people. It offers an option for people who have not been able to maintain weight loss and control their health through dieting alone. To qualify for weight loss surgery, patients must:
To maintain weight loss after surgery, you will still have to exercise and limit food amounts. You will also need to change the types of food that you eat every day. It is important to remember that bariatric surgery is only a tool to support you in achieving lasting weight loss. Healthy eating patterns and regular exercise are the keys to success.
On average, people steadily lose one to two pounds per week. This means you will lose 50-100 pounds or more in a year. The amount of weight loss and the ability to keep it off depends on how well you follow the diet and exercise program after weight loss surgery.
Leading up to surgery, a complete evaluation is needed. This includes a physical exam, nutrition, activity and social work evaluations, psychological testing, evaluation by other specialists and other medical tests. This process can take 6-12 months and requires your full participation at each step. Patients will have regular visits before surgery, during the first 12 months after bariatric surgery and then every 6 months for years to come. Patients are required to attend at least two support group sessions before surgery and at least one after surgery.
These free sessions provide an overview of the bariatric surgery process, the three types of weight loss surgery available for teens to combat obesity and the benefits, risks, advantages and disadvantages of each. Learn more about the next in-person bariatric surgery information session or take advantage of our new online information sessions to start learning about bariatric surgery today!
Clicking the dates below will take you to the Education Courses Portal. You can use the keyword search "bariatric" to find the Bariatric Surgery Information Sessions that are currently available for registration.
At Nationwide Children's Hospital, we offer three types of bariatric surgery: Gastric Bypass, Gastric Sleeve, and Laparoscopic Adjustable Band (currently, based on FDA regulations, you must be at least 18 years old to have laparoscopic adjustable band surgery). All of these surgeries cause restriction in the amount of food that can be eaten at one time, so patients feel full faster. The weight loss for any surgery depends on how well patients follow the recommended nutrition and exercise program.
Most patients are candidates for laparoscopic bariatric surgery. In this type of surgery, several small incisions are made in the stomach, through which small, thin instruments, including a telescope and camera, are inserted. The camera and telescope send pictures of the internal organs and surgical instruments onto a TV screen. Laparoscopic surgery reduces the pain and complications after surgery, since the incisions are so small.
For medical reasons, some patients may need an open surgery. If this is needed, the surgeon makes one large incision in the stomach to access the organs. The surgeon will explain each type of surgery and determine which type of surgery is best for you.
This bariatric surgery practice tool includes information on evaluation, management and outcomes.
Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-LABS) Study
Nationwide Children's Hospital is one of only five institutions nationally to join a multi-institution clinical research study to understand the benefits and risks of bariatric surgery in adolescents. Learn more.
In a May 2011 article, "Surgery Is No Quick Fix for Obese Teens," Dr. Marc Michalsky explains teen weight loss surgery is not a cosmetic procedure and is generally not performed on teens until they have gone through puberty. The article also follows patients and discusses their outcomes along with how life is changed after bariatric surgery.

County officials finally have in-hand the long-awaited report on the fixes necessary at the Silver Spring Transit Center.
The report from D.C.-based KCE Structural Engineers detailing the future of the delayed Silver Spring Transit Center was delivered to the county Monday more than a month after it was due, officials said.
The Montgomery County Council is scheduled to meet in closed session at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday to discuss potential litigation regarding the center, and at 3 p.m. the council is scheduled to discuss the report in open session, Patrick Lacefield, a spokesman for the county executive said.
In a separate meeting scheduled for 3:30 p.m., the council's Transportation, Infrastructure, Energy and Environment Committee will discuss the $7.5 million supplemental appropriation that County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) requested for the project.
The groundbreaking for the $112 million project began in 2008, and the center was expected to open in 2011. A series of cracks found in the middle and upper levels of the structure and disparities in the thickness of the structure have delayed the project's opening by nearly two years. It is now slated to open by fall 2013. The county hired Foulger-Pratt Cos. to build the transit center.
Montgomery County paid $1.535 million of the $1.785 million allocated in the budget for the report from KCE Structural Engineers. The report is expected to outline the remediation needed for the center on the corner of Colesville Road and Wayne Avenue in downtown Silver Spring.
Councilman Roger Berliner (D-Dist. 1) of Bethesda said Monday the county is committed to opening the center.
"I hope to see that the problems are minimal. No one's looking to find problems. If there are problems, what I'm looking for are solutions," said Berliner, chairman of the county's T&E Committee.
"It is certainly possible that the reason for the delay in the consultant's report is that the consultant may have found problems in addition to the concrete," Berliner said of the report's delay.
KCE declined to comment on the report or its delay Monday afternoon. Lacefield said there will not be a representative from KCE present at the sessions Tuesday.
David Dise, director for the county's Department of General Services, did not immediately return a request for comment.
Councilman Philip M. Andrews (D-Dist. 3) of Gaithersburg said Monday he is anxious to see the details in the report.
"I am concerned that it could lead to delays and more costs. It is critical the council gets to the bottom of what happened to understand and make sure it doesn't happen again," he said, adding "basically, what a mess."
Councilman George L. Leventhal (D-At large) of Takoma Park said Monday afternoon he hopes to hear who is responsible for the delays at the center.
Once it is open, the transit center would be a three-level, state-of-the-art transit hub that connects MARC commuter trains, Metro, taxis, and Ride On and intercity buses.
The report will be made available to the public on the Department of General Services website following the meeting, Lacefield said.

I decided I need some major enforcement to getting myself off the computer, since I seem to have no self-control in the evening and stay up much too late. So today I downloaded your TakeABreak utility to see if it would suit my needs.
When I ran it, it told me to edit the ini file. Most of your utilities let me right click the tray icon and adjust the settings, so I tried that. Nothing happened when I right clicked it. Nothing happened when I left clicked it. So I went into the directory the .exe file was stored in and there was no ini file to edit.
"Great!" I thought, "now it's going to force me to go on a break when I don't want it to." Since I couldn't right-click it to close it, I decided to open the task manager and end the process. Every time I brought up the task manager via ctrl-alt-del or ctrl-shift-esc it would immediately close.
TakeABreak was suppressing my task manager! There was no way I could close it! So I looked among your other utilities to see if you had one to kill a process. Kill wouldn't work because it closes the window under my mouser. So I tried CloseMany and repeatedly told it to close/kill TakeABreak, but it didn't work.
Finally I remembered that Mouser's Process Tamer lets you set a rule to kill processes, and it worked!
Thank goodness I finally got it closed, and thank goodness I hadn't already put it in my startup folder to start when Windows runs!
I did try running TakeABreak again to see if it had just locked up or something but every time it had the same result and I had to use Process Tamer to close it.0
So it looks like both TakeABreak and CloseMany need some modification to work properly.

United States of Pizza: Michigan
When many people hear the words Michigan and pizza, chances are they next think of Domino's and Little Caesar's. While those massive chains and a couple smaller local ones do play heavily into The Wolverine State's pizza scene, there's more to Michigan pizza than that, and a ton of good locally-owned pizzerias all over the state. Here's our guide to a few Michigan favorites. More

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A nice but conventional business-oriented chain hotel wrapped in grand-old-dame history and charm
Built at the turn of the last century, and opened in 1904, the St. Francis is the second-oldest hotel in San Francisco, younger only than the Palace. A lot has happened since then (see history below), culminating, at least for now, in the hotel becoming a Westin, complete with everything that entails: Starwood ownership (and, importantly for some, Starwood Preferred Guest points), Westin's trademark "Heavenly" amenities, and a clientele dominated by business and convention travelers (again, those Starwood points). For leisure travelers, that adds up to some trade-offs. On the one hand, you get the quality and consistency of a chain property; on the other hand, the impersonal atmosphere in this large (1,195 rooms), setting is less than leisurely -- or even downright boring.
Still, you have to give Westin credit for its many nods to the hotel's rich history. You can find photos of a dozen or so of the St. Francis' many famous guests near the elevators. Ansel Adams portraits hang in the lobby. Even the hotel's bizarre "coin laundering" program of yesteryear -- every coin that passes through the front desk's cash registers is hand-washed -- has remained. Good luck finding that at another hotel.
And it's not just pre-World War I touches that give the St. Francis its cachet. The views from the top of the 32-story "Modern Tower" (which opened in 1971) are some of the best in the city. Take one of the glass elevators to the 31st floor (the 32nd floor is for penthouse and wedding guests only), hold down the little button with the outward-facing triangles, and enjoy the panorama. (You don't have to pay for a room to ride the elevators. Hint hint.)
In the end, it really comes down to price and location (as it so often does, I suppose). If you can get a room at the Palace, four blocks away, for a similar price, grab that instead. Ditto for Le Meridien, if being near Union Square isn't a priority. If you're choosing between the St. Francis and the W (yet another Starwood), it mostly comes down to taste: modern (W) versus classic (Westin).
Amply staffed and friendly enough, but nothing extraordinary
The St. Francis is exactly what you'd expect, service-wise, from a Westin: efficient and cordial but not doting.
Overlooks Union Square, best known for high-end shopping
The St. Francis sits on the western border of Union Square, which is famous for its couture shops and not much else. Home to enormous outposts of Niketown, Saks, Tiffany, Macy's, Louis Vuitton, and Neiman Marcus (aka "Needless Markup"), among others, Union Square is to San Francisco what Fifth Avenue is to New York and Rodeo Drive is to L.A. Locals don't hang out here, but the square is great for people-watching nonetheless, and it occasionally plays host to small festivals and demonstrations. Still, if conspicuous consumption isn't a priority, you might prefer a neighborhood closer to the city's biggest attractions, like Nob Hill or Fisherman's Wharf.
Rooms in the original building are small but full of turn-of-the-20th-century charm; tower rooms are larger but generic. All are clean, classy, and comfortable.
This is a tale of two buildings. The rooms are divided pretty evenly between the hotel's original building (or "Celebrated Landmark Building," as the Westin calls it), constructed at the turn of the 20th century, and the 32-story Modern Tower, which, though built 40 years ago, retains its modernity on the interior. Rooms in the old building match the character of the building itself: crystal chandeliers, marble countertops, dark-wood furniture, and so on. Classy, to be sure, but small -- 200 square feet or so -- especially for a hotel in this price range. Tower rooms, meanwhile, are significantly more spacious but not as charming. But no matter which building you end up in, you'll have a bright, clean, comfortable room with the standard collection of Westin's trademark "Heavenly" appointments.
Nothing unusual -- basically, a gym, spa, and business center -- but everything is top-notch
The St. Francis features the standard array of big-city-hotel amenities: a combined health club and spa, a business center, and not much else. The upside: Everything is first-rate. The downside: extra fees on most everything.
Not great for young kids, but no reason not to take the family
Because of its grand-old-dame atmosphere (turn-of-the-20th-century architecture, antiquish furniture, conservative decor) and large number of corporate guests, the Westin isn't ideal for families with young children. Still, there's no reason not to take the young'uns.
Some blemishes, but not really a problem
Given that the rooms in the original building were renovated two months before Oyster's stay, it was surprising to see many blemishes: a sizable mark on the carpet, another on the stuffed chair, and a collection of stains by the bathroom sink. Otherwise, the property is quite well maintained -- everything was functional and hygienic.
A much-heralded dinner place, plus a standard hotel restaurant and a lobby coffee shop
Michael Mina opened his fifth Bourbon Steak restaurant in the Westin St. Francis in December 2010. Executive Chef Omri Aflalo, who did an externship with Mina while at the Culinary Institute of America, is at the helm of the San Francisco locale. The feel of the former flagship restaurant named after Michael Mina himself has been replaced with a more upscale steakhouse feel, and the food to go with it. The broad menu includes some of Mina's greatest hits, including lobster corn dogs, black truffle popcorn, and lobster pot pie (market price). As far as the steak, notable options are a 28-ounce Porterhouse, an 18-ounce bone-in rib-eye, and a 6-ounce Australian Wagyu strip. It's the highlight of the hotel's dining options.
A long, wacky (and sordid) past
If a long history full of famous names and wacky anecdotes is your thing, it's tough to do better than the St. Francis. If you like your anecdotes with a heavy dose of infamy, you can't possibly do better than the St. Francis. The hotel has hosted dozens of celebrities and foreign dignitaries over the years. It became the place Republican presidents stayed when they visited San Francisco (Democratics usually stayed at the Fairmont). That's the part they proudly tell you about, both in the lobby and on the website.
What they don't tell you is that the St. Francis is also where some less boast-worthy history has taken place. On September 5, 1921, silent film megastar Fatty Arbuckle hosted a wild party in his suite (rooms 1219 to 1221, by the way) where a young actress named Virginia Rappe died of a drug overdose. Arbuckle was brought to trial on a number of charges in one of the most publicized trials of all time. He was ultimately acquitted, but his career never recovered, and today he is known mostly as an unfortunate footnote in film history. Half a century later, Sara Jane Moore attempted to assassinate then-president Gerald Ford as he was leaving the hotel. The St. Francis folks don't have a plaque for that either.
The St. Francis combines the history, decor, and traditions of a turn-of-the-20th-century grand old dame with the amenities, modernity, and corporate-dominated clientele of a large chain property. If you find a better deal at the similarly priced Palace or Meridien -- also business-oriented Starwoods -- go with one of those. If not, the Westin is a perfectly pleasant option.

The search for a missing person was officially called off on Tuesday by the N.C. Parks Service after serveral unsuccessful days of searching.
Ronnie Douglas Sutton Jr, 48 of Asheboro, went missing on Sunday, Oct. 14, after leaving his sister's house. When Sutton didn't contact anyone afterward, his family reported he was missing on Thursday, Oct. 18.
"Up to this point, we haven't found any clues leading to his (Sutton's) whereabouts," said Capt. Ricky Roark of the Ashe County Rescue Squad.
The Ashe County Rescue Squad became involved when Sutton's Nissan pickup truck was spotted at the overlook at Sheet's Gap.
The Rescue Squad and formed a perimeter search of the area. When no evidence was found he had been in the area, surrounding fire departments, including Laural Springs, Glendale Springs , Wilbar, Jefferson and Moravian Falls fire departments were called in to help search.
The search party Saturday covered between 150 to 200 yards before the end of the day.
The search continued Sunday morning when the rescue squad called in a pair of cadaver dogs from Caldwell County and a pair of bloodhounds, which didn't pick up Sutton's trail. In spite of a 50 person volunteer search party that conducted a grid search of the entire area, no evidence was discovered linking Sutton to the area.
The rescue squad also recruited divers to investigate the lakes in the surrounding area, and again, no evidence was found.
The search resumed on Monday with the same result. The parks service became more active in searching for Sutton.
On Tuesday, a helicopter flew over the area to search for Sutton, but couldn't locate him.
With no evidence of Sutton's location, Roark said it's possible Sutton parked his truck at Sheet's Gap to meet with someone and hasn't returned.
According to Roark, Sutton is a six foot tall, white male with blue eyes and grey hair. Also, Sutton may have depressive symptoms. Any information about Sutton's whereabouts should be reported to the local authorities, said Roark.

And so far, her plan has worked perfectly. Each day we cross something new off the Summer Bucket List. It's been a total blast! We have done so many fabtastic things already and summer has just begun!!
The first week alone was more epic than any summer I've ever had before!!
We kicked off our summer of awesome by white water rafting. That was totes my idea. The girlz were a bit scared, but they all did swimmingly! Especially Yasmin, who literally fell in the water and had to swim back to our raft! She said falling in was her fave part of the whole trip! LOL! Then we went rock climbing, to which Sasha wore stilettos and broke a heel! We ended the week with a cray-cray paint party! I was bummin' about getting my clothes dirty, but splashing each other with paint turned out to be fabtastically fun! That's the best part when you #UnleashYourSummer! You are forced to try new things, and sometimes the things you think you will hate become you fab-solute new faves!!
But unleashing your summer is not all about fun! To have a truly epic summer, you should give back, too! We have helped out at a soup kitchen and ran a lemonade stand, donating the proceeds to charity! And wanna know the truth? Even though we have gone surfing, tried yoga in the park, went on a photo shoot safari, written songs and SOOOOO much more, I think I had the mostestestest fun I had, was when we were helping others!
Are you totally inspired yet?? Are YOU going to #UNLEASHYOURSUMMER?? Tell me all the fabulous new things you put on your Summer Bucket List. If we think they said super fabulous, we will add them to our own!!
Cheers to the most epic summer ever!!

Agreed. This, along with the more enterprise friendly sw should open many potential users to leave other platforms and go with Apple. Of the countries not included in the July 11th ship date - we'll have to add Verizon and T-Mobile! :D
What I found interesting was the selling of iPhone apps through Apple's web site where the developer gets 70% and Apple keeps 30%. One central place to view and buy all apps for the iPhone - very smart. As the market share grows, this should be a solid revenue generator for Apple as developers flock to bring apps to the market place. Seems Jobs and company found a nice way to shift from profit on hardware margins to profit on the work of others!! Definitely a win-win-win.
More users will make it easier for AT&T to lower the cost even further. Whoo Hoo! Good observation/recall of history re. high prices. Check your spelling in that sentence - something got messed up.

iPhone 3G. Now Selling for Just $199
Read that title again, and realize that the iPhone 3G will sell for LESS than the infamous price drop given the original iPhone before the holidays. (Recap: it's started at $599 and was dropped to $399 with early adapters getting an equally infamous $100 Apple Store gift certificate Jobs-a-culpa).
And while the price drop was big news then, the retail price of $199 should be HUGE news today.
At $199, that's HALF the price of the original iPhone at its lowest. It's the SAME price as an 8GB iPod Nano. It's LESS than an iPod Classic, and MUCH LESS than an iPod Touch!
When we consider the possibility of carrier subsidies on top of that (Europe has been heavily rumored, with Orange at the extreme gossipy end of giving them away free to current iPhone owners), the iPhone may just be cheaper than "competing" Blackberries, Windows Mobile, and Treo smart phones.
Profit margins (averaging 30%) on hardware have historically been Apple's bread and butter, but this isn't the personal computer market (where they're a founding name) or the MP3 player market (where they have a dominant market share already), this is a much bigger, much less saturated market for Apple. Consumers will buy for a variety of reasons. Features often tops the list. Fashion certainly plays its part. But price can be the difference between dream and reality for a lot of shoppers.
Apple knows this, and they've developed an unparalleled 360 degree, spherically integrated business model to support it. A share of App Store sales and MobileMe subscriptions are just two examples surfaced today. Apple Retail Store profits, accessories, Mac hardware, licensing fees, iTunes sales, and a host of other factors let them maintain profitability while minimizing sticker shot for their users.
Steve Jobs once said that the mistake made by the management prior to his return was to go for money rather than market share. By keeping high prices in the present, they all but killed the platform's future.
Judging by today's WWDC 2008 Keynote, Jobs learned that lesson well.
8GB iPhone 3G for $199. Perfect price-point storm?

iPhone 3G. Now Selling for Just $199
I have been hearing quite a few things since the announcement. One of the latest rumors I have heard is that current At&t customers in the middle of their contracts won't receive this price. I have heard that the price for these customers is "to be determined."
I haven't a clue how true this is, and I am taking it with a grain of salt, but it still makes me nervous. They are increasing the data plan to the normal smartphone rate of $30, so who's to say they don't find a way to weasel existing customers out of more money...
Not that it would be anything unusual. All other phones are sold in this manner, so why should the iPhone be any different? My one thought that is keeping me from believing the rumor is that I recall Jobs claiming the $199 and $299 prices are the MAXIMUM prices that could be charged...
I don't know, but At&t receive more control over the device makes me nervous.
Steve Jobs once said that the mistake made by the management prior to his return was to s has said thago for money rather than market share.
"To s has said thago"? WTF?
Do we know how many iPhone are going to be in each store?
As soon as I found out yesterday that the 8gb 3G would be available for $200, I posted an ad on craigslist to sell my current 8 gb and it sold right away for more than $200. Looks like I'll be getting a free upgrade, sort of. The site was flooded with people trying to sell their iphones, its going to be a tough market for the 1st gen now.
How do we book an $199 iphone in advance?
Oh my god! I want that soooooo much!!! but.. idon't have enough money and i'm live in Vietnam buhuuuu :((
guys, if ever your interested, i am selling my iphone 3g(16gb).. SUPER RUSH.. This is a sacrifice sale.. I am selling it for 200$ only.. shipping fee will depend on your location.. FAST TRANSACTION PLEASE!!!
pm me: email@example.com
very lucky for US Iphone lover because the price is very cheap. In Malaysia the Iphone is only available by one provider. Price is very high. 3G Iphone cost about RM3000 equivalent to about USD700. Now you can see the gap between US and Malaysia version. Different about USD500.

Wind: 14 mph
The Harwood Union girls' soccer program started its 2008 season in impressive style. With a busy three-game first week, the varsity team recorded a perfect 3-0 record while not giving up a single goal.
The season opener was at Middlebury where the final result was 2-0. Juniors Ariel Goodman and Paige Cleary each scored for the Highlanders while senior McColl Harvey made five saves in the shutout.
Opening up at home on September 4 in Duxbury, the girls found the same result but added another goal for a 3-0 shutout win over St. Johnsbury. Senior Mariah Liberty led the scoring with two goals and junior Celia Cadwell added another assisted by Ariel Goodman. Sophomore Laura Bataille and freshman Liza Mackey each tallied an assist for their first varsity points. Junior goalkeeper Taylor Burdett recorded five saves in the win. The Highlanders dominated the match with an edge of 21-5 in shots on goal.
The week wrapped up with another decisive 3-0 win over league opponent Spaulding on Saturday. Senior Kelsey Lacroix scored two first-half goals just three minutes apart to set the pace early in this one. Celia Cadwell picked up an assist. Mariah Liberty notched an insurance goal and her third of the season midway through the second half. Taylor Burdett picked up the shutout win in goal making just six saves.
The lady Highlanders continue their schedule this week against Woodstock on Wednesday and at Lyndon on Friday. For a look at their upcoming schedule, check out Harwood.org.
The Harwood junior varsity got their season going with a bang this past week by defeating Middlebury 3-1 on Tuesday and St. Johnsbury 7-1 on Thursday.
In their opening match away versus Middlebury, Hannah Ferenc got on the board with a goal and Naomi Koliba scored twice and also tallied an assist. Assisting on the remaining goals were Nina Yandow and Caitlin Touchette. Ashley Pitrowiski earned three saves in the win.
On Thursday, playing before a big crowd, Harwood gave up an own goal early in the match under heavy St. Johnsbury pressure but rallied with seven unanswered goals to walk away with the win. Six players found the back of the net, showing a good offensive balance. Naomi Koliba scored twice with goals also coming from Hannah Woodruff, Dana Litchfield, Ashlyn Raymond, Anna Hoffman and Meghan Audet. Assists came from Audet (two), Raymond and Hoffman. Ashley Pitrowiski had another solid showing with three saves for the win.
The final match of the week versus Division 1 school Spaulding on Saturday was an exciting defensive battle which ended in a 3-2 loss for Harwood (2-1). Pitrowiski again came up big, making a total of nine saves and in the process stopping three penalty kicks. Sophomore captain Megan Raymond converted a penalty kick and Koliba scoring on a brilliant through ball from Caitlin Touchette for Harwood's two scores.

Google Notebook goes multi-lingual
I can read English. If you're reading this blog post, you probably can too. But if you're like me—someone who is not one of the 300 or 400 million native English speakers in a world of more than 6 billion people—you might be more comfortable on using your own language for personal activities. I know I am, and I can still remember the days 16 years ago when my dad and I were tweaking the home PC-XT to make a database application work in Chinese instead of in English. Now being a software engineer myself working in this great company whose products are used by people around the world, I would almost feel guilty if my product doesn't speak in the same language as you do.
Fortunately, my feeling of guilt is coming to an end. When we released the Google Notebook in its shiny, fresh new look, we also made it speak 17 other languages besides English. We have German, Polish, Turkish—to name a few—and of course Chinese. Admittedly, there is still a long way to go for us to reach everyone in the world in all the thousands of languages. Rest assured, though, that just because your language isn't one of the first doesn't mean that we have forgotten you.
In case you haven't heard about it before, Google Notebook lets you conveniently collect, organize and share information while searching and browsing the web. If you've tried it already, I urge you to try again, as its new interface is much smoother to use than it was—and I'm not saying that just because I'm looking at it in Chinese.

It is easier than ever to get ABQ RIDE information with smartphone apps.
Taking ABQ RIDE to work, school or entertainment is now easier than ever before. A number of smartphone applications are available to help you easily locate your bus or plan your ride.
Since June 2012, a number of free and for-a-price applications using City of Albuquerque & ABQ RIDE data have popped up for iPhone, Android and Windows smartphone users. The City of Albuquerque data sets were made available by Mayor Richard J. Berry's Open Data Initiative, which encouraged the development of apps and services for public use.
ABQ RIDE App
The most downloaded app is the ABQ RIDE App, currently available for free to iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and now Android smartphone users. It primarily tells where your bus is within about 30 second's accuracy. It also features bus schedules, fares, ABQ RIDE's website, related websites such as the N.M. Rail Runner and any special alerts regarding Transit.
iOS Users
For iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch users: get a free download of the ABQ RIDE App, click HERE, and when the app appears, hit the Install button. Or you can use your QR Code reader to scan this QR Code to go directly to the site.
Android Users
For Android Phone users: to get a free download of the ABQ RIDE App for your Android phone, click HERE, and when the ABQ RIDE Android app appears, hit the Install button.

Where's My Bus Mobile Website

The website is available at wmb.unm.edu or at wmb.unm.edu/m/ for smartphone users (however, since it is constantly refreshing itself, it may require more data than available on a phone's data plan).

Like a second spare in your trunk
Sometimes tires just don't have the courtesy to go flat one at a time. The ResQ Tire Repair Kit is like having another spare tire that can fit in your trunk bag. It plugs into a 12v cigarette lighter, then pumps sealant into your flat and fills it back up to proper pressure. Just replace the sealant canister after each use (refill with item number 19028). Safe to drive up to 50mph afterward, until you can get the tire repaired professionally. Useful outside of an emergency, too - use it without sealant to pressurize auto and bicycle tires, basketballs, and more with the included nozzle attachment. Imported.

Dennis Hopper Estate
African wood mask, purchased during a visit to South Africa.
Dennis Hopper was an actor, a director, a passionate art collector, and a countercultural hero. He was as unforgettable onscreen--as the baby-faced Goon in Rebel Without A Cause, the iconic Billy in Easy Rider, or the menacing gas-huffing Frank Booth in Blue Velvet-- as he was in his life, and filled his eclectic homes with things (and people) he loved. With this Tastemaker Tag Sale, One Kings Lane is honored to bring our members these personal pieces from the estate of the legendary actor.

If you're running a global website, you'll want to reduce the latency for customers around the world. GoGrid offers the global infrastructure and robust network to support this setup. With Geographic Load Balancing, GoGrid can also improve performance to your website from around the world. Here are recommended best practices for building a reliable, high-performing global website.
Deploying the Correct Infrastructure Setup
Global websites still require local infrastructure to be truly effective in reducing latency. GoGrid has data centers around the world where you can deploy infrastructure to better serve your customers. Deploy infrastructure to the Western United States (in our US-West-1 data center), Eastern United States (in US-East-1) and Europe (EU-West-1). Although your specific configuration is unique to your setup, you'll most likely have database and webservers in each of these data centers.
In addition, you'll want to keep your servers in-sync. One option between US-West-1 and US-East-1 is to use Cloud Link, a dedicated, private line between our data centers. This connectivity makes synching your servers secure and easy. Once you have your back end in place, you'll want to configure your front end.

Nvidia's PhysX has finally cracked realistic, real-time rendered water April 24, 2013 at 11:28 am
No matter how great a video game heroine's hair looks, or how many individual furs are articulated on an anthropomorphic Pixar character, we can still instantly tell that computer-generated graphics are just that — generated by a computer. Aside from human eyes and mouths, one of the biggest enemies of the Uncanny Valley is computer-generated water. With PhysX's position based fluids, though, CG water flows the best we've ever seen.
