Ashley Biden and Howard Krein: Married!by Free Britney at .
Ashley Biden, the daughter of U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, got married on Saturday to Philadelphia surgeon Howard Krein before more than 200 friends and family.
The couple wed at the steepled St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church, in Greenville, Delaware. It's the same church where she was baptized.
The ceremony combined the bride's Catholic traditions and the groom's Jewish ones.
Afterward, the reception took place at the Biden family's lakeside home in Wilmington, Del., for a reception and dinner served family-style in the backyard.
The Vice President and his wife, Jill Biden, re-sodded the property and planted special fast-growing vines up the latticework around the party tent.
Joe Biden escorted the bride, who wore Vera Wang, down the aisle and had prepared to be emotional about giving away the youngest of his three children.
"I kept telling Ash, we've got to open up the church and practice walking up and down the aisle so I can handle it," the V.P. said last week.
He reminisced about the last time he saw Ashley Biden in a veil - at her First Communion. "I think to myself, aw, God, my little girl! This can't have passed so quick."Krein, 45, surprised his bride Biden, 30, on Saturday with their honeymoon destination, a family source said. They will make their home in Philadelphia.
Ashley is a Delaware state social worker who works with troubled children. She met Howard in 2010, after meeting through Beau Biden, her older brother.
Howard Krein proposed last October, at sunset on a cliff in Big Sur, Calif. – but not before getting "Pop's" permission first, said the elder Biden. "
This is the right guy," the V.P. said. "And he's getting a helluva woman."
And a helluva father-in-law. Congrats to the whole family!

Here is one artist's attempt to reconstruct what the Iraq War destroyed.
Posts Tagged: looting
Historic sites serve every purpose to the Islamic State except actual preservation of cultural heritage.
Putting aside even Iraq's horrifying descent into sectarian violence, the United States did a spectacularly poor job of governing the country.
Pope Francis' passivity in the face of the brutal Argentine military government fails to inspire confidence.

Over time we grew frustrated with the common issues we faced with implementing SaaS products for our clients. They were too expensive, too complicated, and lacked a decent integration with WordPress.
We decided to build our own tool that would help us move faster and get better results for our customers.
Today, we are helping more than 800+ businesses in 30+ countries reach their audiences and grow their lists.

Razor Caddy by Razor Saver – $19.99
Razor Gel by Razor Saver – $9.95
This is a caddy for your razor – the company claims that you can increase the life of your razor by 1,500% if you use it in conjunction with the Razor Gel. That's a huge claim! They have pretty decent reviews on Amazon, with reviewers saying that their razor lasts longer. The process is: put the razor in the caddy, fill the razor caddy with the gel, until it comes up over the head of your razor. When you want to shave, you rinse the razor, and wipe it on a clean towel (going with the blades, so you're not cutting the towel). I tried the process, and it doesn't take that much longer than normal, but I can't comment on the efficacy of the process yet!
Billy Jealousy Travel Liquidsand Exfoliating Facial Cleanser – $6.00
This cleanser smells really fresh! It is formulated with lactic acid, polyethelyne scrubbing agents, and sunflower glycerides. There is quite a bit of controversy regarding the environmental impact of polyethelyne in cleansers, so I probably won't repurchase this one, but if you don't care about such things, this seems like a good option, and it has good reviews!
Billy Jealousy Combination Code Facial Moisturizer – 2 bonus foil packs
This moisturizer also smells quite fresh, and provides a nice amount of moisture. I wouldn't use this in the middle of winter, but it's very nice for a light spring/summer moisturizer.
Sock Smith – Benjamin Franklin Socks – $10.00
Who doesn't want a stately old gentleman on their feet for a big presentation, or just a first date? I mean, c'mon, these are awesome. Just don't wear the powdered wig as an added accessory. (These are really soft by the way, and seem like all around great socks.)
Brickell Instant Relief Aftershave – $13.00
This aftershave smells pepperminty, but they offer an unscented version as well! I generally like my facial products to be fragrance free, just because I don't want to smell something strongly all day – but if it has to smell like something, at least it's peppermint! This goes on very smoothly, with a bit of a refreshing feel (probably due to the mint). It also has hyaluronic acid in it to aid in the moisturizing process.
Brickell Men's Products – travel size Shave Cream – $12.00
This shaving cream also smells fabulous. It smells minty and fresh to me but one of the reviewer's on the Brickell website describes it as woodsy. Whichever it is, it smells amazing. The formula is very smooth and non lathering – which is great since lathering generally means drying! It has glycerin and jojoba oils in it to moisturize and lubricate while shaving. It is meant to be used without a shave brush, so that's one less thing to pack in your dopp kit!
Das Boom Industries – Everywhere Lotion – Detroit – $3.00
The scent on this is described as: tobacco, musk, and motor oil. I am not a fan of the smell. There are mixed reviews on the scent on Birchbox…some people love it, and some people have less positive things to say. It did feel moisturizing enough, but I just can't stand the smell.
Swago Cologne for Men – $4.99
I received the sampler of all the different scents they offer: VIP, Champ, Legend, and Gentleman. I would describe this as the men's equivalent of body spray for women. It's not super high quality smelling cologne, but it does the job for a short while. The really awesome thing about these is that they're small-ish wipes, so you could throw one into your wallet for scent emergencies (like accidentally using that Das Boom lotion…).
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm – Grapefruit and Ginger – $7.50
There are so many raving reviews about this lip balm on Sephora's website! It smells absolutely amazing, and it really feels nice on my lips. My husband considers everything that comes in a tube like this to be 'lip gloss,' so he'll have no problem with me claiming this one as my own.
Jack Black Hair Gel and Face Moisturizer – Bonus pillow packs
The hair gel smells great! It is scented with grapefruit and ginger (just like the lip balm), and smells just as good. It has mixed reviews on Sephora. I'm stealing the face moisturizer pack from my husband for my trip to Vegas next week, but many of the reviews are positive, so I'm guessing it will be great!
Verdict: TheSampleManBox I received has a value of about $86.43, not counting the bonus foil and pillow packs. Everything seems to be super high quality, and definitely fulfilling their purpose: to expose their subscribers to a large variety of men's grooming products to see what works for you. I also really love that they donate $2.00 from every box purchased to St. Jude's hospital!
We really enjoyed our first month of TheSampleManBox! Have you tried it yet?

The Weekly Shtikle - Leil Seider
The Weekly Shtikle is dedicated le'iluy nishmas my Opa, Tovia Yehudah ben Yoel, a'h.
By the time we reach Nirtzah, it is understandable if all the divrei Torah have been exhausted as we bear down the home stretch. But I once saw a very nice piece on "Echad mi yodeia" in the hagaddah "Shiras HaLeviim," compiled by R' Aryeh Leib Lopiansky, one of my rebbeim from Ohr Yerushalayim. Thanks to Uncle Moishy, many of us probably know the entire text by heart - at least in English. So we know that "Ten are the Asereeeeeees... Hadibros." But wait, two are luchos that Moshe brought. Weren't the Aseres HaDibros written on the two luchos? How could the same item or concept occupy two spots in this song?
R' Chaim Soloveichik points out an interesting nuance in the davening for Shabbos morning. In "Yismach Moshe" we say "ushnei luchos avanim horid beyado vechasuv bahem shemiras Shabbos, vechein kasuv besorasecha." We refer to Moshe's bringing down the two stone tablets on which was written "shemiras Shabbos," and so it is written in Your Torah, etc. But what was written on the luchos was Torah. Yet, we treat it as two separate entities - it was written on the luchos and so it was written in the Torah. R' Chaim explains that there was a separate covenant regarding the Aseres HaDibros, (hence the name "luchos habris") exclusive of the covenant regarding the rest of the Torah and so they are treated as two entities.
This same idea may be used to explain our song. The Aseres HaDibros have their own significance as part of the Torah. But the two luchos represented an additional covenant between HaShem and B'nei Yisroel and that is why they are listed as two entities.
In a footnote, the author brings from another hagaddah that the purpose of Echad Mi Yodeia is to ask us what comes to mind when we hear these numbers. For someone who leads a true Torah life, these numbers will automatically conjure up thoughts of associated Torah concepts. With this explanation, the original question is essentially a non-starter.
Have a Chag Kasher veSamei'ach!

Kiawe describes his Turtonator as a strong and trusted Pokémon. Turtonator is very loyal to Kiawe, even though it may look tough it's a gentle giant. It's very compassionate and friendly towards those it considers as its friends by letting them play on its shell.
Kiawe used Turtonator to battle Akala Island's Kahuna,[1] Olivia. After Kiawe won the battle, Olivia hugged Turtonator. Turtonator liked Olivia, despite normally being nervous around strangers.[2]
Kiawe sent Turtonator to battle three Team Skull Grunts. The grunts' Yungoos and Zubat went to use Bite and Leech Life on Turtonator, whose spikes exploded and hit the Pokémon. To finish them off, Kiawe triggered his Z-Ring and had Turtonator fire Inferno Overdrive, which defeated all of Team Skull's Pokémon, forcing the grunts to retreat.[3] While Kiawe was describing the power of Z-Ring, the group remembered Kiawe's Turtonator executing Inferno Overdrive.[4]
Turtonator, along with its trainer, was at the party to celebrate Ash and his Pokémon's Grand Trial of Melemele Island victory.[5] Kiawe had Turtonator lead the ranch's Pokémon into the stables and even practiced with Turtonator during the night. The next day, per Haru's request, Kiawe had Turtonator battle Ash's Pikachu.[1] Kiawe and Turtonator spent a day on the beach with Kiawe's classmates. Kiawe tended to Turtonator before he was called by Ash and Sophocles.[6] Kiawe participated in the Pokémon Pancake Race with Turtonator. However, Turtonator was too heavy for Kiawe, who had to pull it in a cart. Kiawe yelled out that they were not fit for the race and even if the race was already over, Kiawe exclaimed he and Turtonator would never give up.[7] The next day, Turtonator watched as Lillie's egg hatched into a white Vulpix and Samson Oak's egg into red Vulpix. While the white one, Snowy, ignored the group, the red one wanted to play with the others. The next day, after Lillie befriended Snowy and hugged it, Snowy was more interested in playing with the class's Pokémon.[8] Kiawe had Turtonator use Flamethrower to train Pikachu, who demonstrated to Rockruff how to dodge. Turtonator repeated the attack, which Rockruff nearly dodged, causing its tail to be lit on fire and to cool down in the sea.[9]
Kiawe was training with Ash, using Turtonator against his Pikachu. The next day, Kiawe sent his Turtonator against Ash's Rockruff (as the latter was trying to search for Electrium Z). Once Ash asked Rotom if it found the Electrium Z, Kiawe was outraged and even had Turtonator use Inferno Overdrive on Ash. Rotom stopped Turtonator's attack and decided to explain everything.[10] Turtonator was training against Ash's Litten, who tried using Fire Fang move. Since Litten failed, Turtonator demonstrated using Flamethrower move. Litten invoked its flames and used Fire Fang, but tripped over a can. Suddenly, the group found a Sandygast, whose shovel was accidentally knocked out in the ocean. To calm Sandygast down, Ash placed Rotom on top of its head. Sandygast was enraged and evolved into a Palossand, then "devoured" Ash and Litten. Kiawe's classmates arrived in time to rescue Ash and Litten. While Popplio and Pikachu went to find the shovel, Kiawe had Charizard and Turtonator fire Flamethrower on Palossand. The rest, however, helped Snowy use Powder Snow to freeze Palossand, and succeeded. Kiawe was nevertheless proud of Turtonator and Charizard, who made great effort.[11]
Kiawe had Turtonator join his team in a Pokébase match. Turtonator stood behind Ash and was the Catcher. Ash failed to hit the ball with his baseball bat three times in a row, a ball Turtonator caught. Later, when Ash was running to the base, Turtonator stopped him and its spikes exploded, preventing Ash from winning.[12] During the camping trip, Ash and Kiawe had their Pikachu and Turtonator battle against each other. Pikachu used Quick Attack, but Turtonator blocked it with its back.[13] As the class had to exchange Pokémon, Kiawe traded his Turtonator with Lana's Popplio.
At Lana's house, Turtonator was overwhelmed by Harper and Sarah, who started at it and were very thrilled to have a different Pokémon in their house. The next day, Harper and Sarah were jumping on Turtonator, and accidentally stepped on a spike. The spike exploded, leaving them burnt, but nevertheless excited. To help out, Lana and the sisters started brushing Turtonator's back. The following day, Lana returned Turtonator to Kiawe, who noted how its back was actually clean.[14]
Turtonator later help stop a Tauros from charging into a house.

Sneaking in a few more tracks as 2015 came to a close, producer Sllash is one to watch as we jump into the new year. He made one of my personal favorite Adele "Hello" remixes and earlier this year released his first full-length album inspired by some of his remixes that took the dance floor by storm. One track not to miss is Sllash's remix of Midi Culture's "Hey Hey" which Epic Tones Records dropped last week.
Midi Culture starts off with a killer original "Hey Hey" by treating Total's "What About Us" to a sexy, deep house makeover complete with groovy bass line and vibes galore. Taking things in more of a tropical deep house oasis direction, Sllash chops up the 90s R&B vocals and gets steamy with this production. He just tweaks the sexy vibes up a notch making "Hey Hey" that much more of a moment on the dance floor. Check out both versions below and find them out now.
