Pride and Prejudice
Illustrator: Coralie Bickford-Smith
Author: Jane Austen
Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful and tactile cloth.
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships,gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

php-cgiwrap is a "script wrapper" that lets your scripts execute under your own userid and group instead of user nobody and group www. It works in the same fashion as cgiwrap but handles paths in such a way that it can be used to run PHP pages under your own userid. Running PHP pages under your own userid allows you to use chmod 700 to lock out other users on the server from viewing the source code. Locking out other users can be especially important if you are interfacing with a MySQL database, thereby preventing people from obtaining your password.
To use PHP 5 with php-cgiwrap, you must first copy php5.cgi to your own Web directory's (public_html) cgi-bin directory by SSH:
cp /usr/www/cgi-bin/php5.cgi ~/public_html/cgi-bin/
chmod 755 ~/public_html/cgi-bin/php5.cgi
(For PHP 4, copy the file php4.cgi from the same directory instead.)
You must then add the following lines to your .htaccess file (please note that this code should be two lines in length with a space before "/cgi-sys"):
Action application/x-pair-sphp5 /cgi-sys/php-cgiwrap/USERNAME/php5.cgi
AddType application/x-pair-sphp5 .php
USERNAME should be replaced with your account username. The .htaccess file mentioned above is a plain text file of that name and can be used to configure certain Web settings. If you do not already have a .htaccess file, you can create a regular file with that name to use. This should be placed into the Web directory containing the scripts you wish to wrap.
Once this is done, all .php files are run under your own user ID. If you want to use a different file extension, replace .php on the second line with whatever you prefer.
The example above only works if you are using your own domain name. If you wish to use the server name in the URL for the page you are accessing, you must add the following lines to your .htaccess file:
Action application/x-pair-sphp5 /cgi-sys/php-cgiwrap/USERNAME/php5.cgi/users/
AddType application/x-pair-sphp5 .php
As in the other example, USERNAME should be replaced with your account username.
These URLs run the non-debugging version of php-cgiwrap; if you want to use the debugging features, replace php-cgiwrap with php-cgiwrapd.
For more details on using cgiwrap, please visit our cgiwrap Knowledge Base article page.

Letters to the Editor - 1/1/2014
Tough ticket
Editor: Another stellar performance of "The Nutcracker" by Ballet Theatre of Scranton - beautiful and talented dancers, terrific costumes and great theater.
However, something was amiss in its "gift to the community" this year. Tickets were not distributed to the public starting one hour prior to at least two of the performances, as stated on the company's website and as advertised elsewhere. People who came to the box office 1½ hours before show time were told the event was totally booked.
The company's website states that current Ballet Theater of Scranton "members" can get tickets prior to the public distribution. If they are given all the tickets and none are left for the general public, the performance is hardly a "gift to the community."
After reporting my great disappointment to the ticket booth worker and mentioning the possibility of a letter to the editor, this squeaky wheel got some tickets for seats that were supposed to be four, but turned out to be three until we found an extra folding chair on our own.
I feel bad for all those who came before me and were turned away long before the advertised starting time for ticket distribution. I hope this problem is rectified for next year, as the performance is truly beautiful and these talented dancers should be appreciated by more of our community.
I have attended in past years and never had experienced this problem before, so I hope this letter will remind the company that people care very much about this show and only want a fair chance at obtaining tickets. Many take the day off from work to attend with family, travel a distance, and really look forward to this special holiday treat.
Super celebration
Editor: I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to all of the volunteers who assisted us at the 19th annual Bob Bolus Sr. Christmas Day Dinner and to those who attended. It was the largest and most successful celebration of the spirit of Christmas we ever had.
Special thanks to Constantino's Catering for assisting us in cooking 95 turkeys that were served at our dinner.
Thank you to the Rev. Martin M. Boylan, pastor of St. Patrick's Church, his staff and the Diocese of Scranton for allowing us to conduct our dinner at All Saints Academy School. Without their help our dinner would not have been possible due to the renovations at St. Lucy's Church, where we held the previous 18 dinners.
Finally, our sincere gratitude to all media members who helped us get out the message about our dinner.
Editor: If the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual community want us to tolerate their beliefs, they should also tolerate others' beliefs. Doing otherwise defines hypocrisy.
Ho, ho, hold it
Editor: "He knows when you are sleeping; he knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good ..."
Really, who is this Santa Claus?
Here's a hint: take the middle letter in Santa's name and put it at the beginning.
The NSA's program for collecting all telecommunication information about all Americans was originally named Total Awareness, before it was rebranded with a different name - NSATA.
And who does NSATA actually represent? Here's a hint: take the first letter and put it at the end.
Sweet dreams, little darlins!
Taxing pressure
Editor: If Chris Farley were here, he'd inform Scranton taxpayers that they're on the verge of "living in a van down by the river."
From my experience, when taxes go up, jobs and businesses usually go down. Scranton citizens need to start voting for lower-tax candidates and begin to hold current public office holders accountable. Recall elections are not uncommon throughout the United States.

Utah Jazz: Postseason or offseason? It all comes down to one night
"It's very exciting to be put in (this) situation. We know we've got to win," Jazz power forward Paul Millsap said. "No matter what happens, we've got to win the game. We're not out of this thing. We're still in it. Hopefully, we continue to fight and get in it."
The Jazz were pounded the last time they visited Memphis, falling 99-86 on Dec. 15. But Utah did defeat the Grizzlies 90-84 in the teams' last game at EnergySolutions Arena in mid-March.
This actually resembles a pitting of playoff teams.
Memphis has picked up wins in eight of its last 10 outings after a rough spell in March.
Utah comes into this one with momentum, having won nine of 11 games overall and with a season-high three consecutive road victories.
"We feel like we're a playoff team," Millsap said ahead of what could be his final game in a Jazz uniform after seven seasons. "We feel like we've been in the playoffs these past few weeks with these games. Hopefully, it pays off and we can get there."
Whether or not things play out to their liking, the Jazz have made a somewhat valiant effort to finish the season strong after completely falling apart for about a month during a bleak 3-12 stretch following the All-Star break.
That might not completely satisfy some fans bitter about the way Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin handled his rotations or developed the younger players, but it might sweeten the bitterness of a disappointing season a little bit for others.
Including the Jazz.
"Talk about this group of guys, the character that they have. There was no quit in this group," Corbin said. "The guys just continued to work and put ourselves in a position to get back when we were struggling there.
"You struggle in NBA seasons at times," he continued. "You don't play your best basketball for an entire season. You'd love to, but we didn't. The guys continued to work and stay focused and were able to get back (to) having a chance of making the playoffs."
If the Jazz don't make the postseason cut, they'd be the winningest team in franchise history to miss out on the playoffs. With 43 victories going into tonight's tilt, they've already surpassed the 42-40 2003-04 squad that just missed out on extending its season the year after John Stockton and Karl Malone moved on.
Though their eye remains focused on the 2013 playoff prize, the Jazz take pride in bouncing back from that midseason lull during which they fell two games below .500 and appeared to be ready for the offseason.
The difference?
"Just being professional, really. Just taking care of our business," Jefferson said. "We just for some reason woke up and started playing well on the defensive end and that's all that mattered."
Mo Williams believes his team deserves credit for pulling back together despite the fact that the Jazz have nine free-agents-to-be — 10 if Marvin Williams doesn't take his player option — and dealt with a variety of injuries, including his 32-game absence for thumb surgery.
Sure, the Jazz would obviously like to have punched their playoff ticket by now, but they're happy to still be playing a game with postseason implications in mid-April — 81 games and 6 1/2 months after they began training camp.
"It's crazy. It's fun, though, to have every game count like that and especially down the stretch your last 15 or so games. It really counts," Mo Williams said. "I think it's shown a lot as a team who we are. It makes you become a selfless person. I think it's all about one goal — getting to the playoffs.
"I think it showed the character of this team," he added, "because of the situation we are in with a lot of players that we do have that's in a situation this summer. It's just showed how together this team is."
Now they have one more chance to come together.
If they do, they could get some playoffs with those peanuts and pretzels on the 1,500-mile flight home.
If they don't, well, Jefferson might prefer some other late birthday present from his old coach.

10 Reasons to Stay at Hotel La Jolla with the Dog
The list of things I was worried about upon checking into Hotel La Jolla with the dog proved much longer than it needed to be. Would he lift his leg in the lobby? What if he barked in the room?
Can a family luxury vacation involve a dog? Despite what my husband calls a "junk yard dog look" Scooby is uber-sensitive and extremely needy so I also wasn't sure if he was going to melt down.
Well, I'm pleased to say our stay was totally void of doggie drama thanks to a San Diego pet-friendly hotel. And, that blue guy above is Mat, YouTube's most favorite yoga mat starring in a hilarious video shot at Hotel La Jolla.
Hotel La Jolla is a part of the Kimpton Hotel and Restaurant Group and they do an amazing job of injecting a festive vibe into each boutique hotel. Though this stay was hosted by Hotel La Jolla, the rates here are normally an excellent value for the ocean-view location and amenities. Plus, we're fans of the restaurant, CUSP, for its panoramic views (one of the best in town), happy hour and delicious eats. Here are reasons to visit on vacation or staycation.
Table of Contents
1. Kids Love It
I am not sure how pet-friendly hotels entered my 6-year-old's radar, but she's been asking me for the better part of a year when we could go to a "doggie hotel". I chose Hotel La Jolla because if the entire adventure went pear-shaped, we'd be 5 minutes from home. Miraculously, Scooby's snoring didn't wake her up.
2. Hosted Evening Wine Hour
Head into the lobby between 5:00-6:00pm for a glass (or two) of hosted red or white wine. There's comfortable, chic seating in the lobby where you, the kids and the dog can hang out. I'm pleased to say we made it. Our dog sat at my feet and watched guests come and go. He even socialized with dogs who were passing through. Regretfully, I didn't have a chance to sample the ceviche appetizer but it looked good. With leash in one hand, I chose wine for the other hand and wasn't up for juggling plates, dog and wine.
3. Location Close To The Beach
It takes about 8 minutes to walk to La Jolla Shores Beach where we often walk our dog anyway in the mornings and evenings, when dogs are allowed on a leash. Because the location is this close to the beach, most of the rooms have pretty nice views of the ocean. At CUSP, the restaurants on the top floor, the view is panoramic.
4. In-Room Bed And Bowls
Upon checking into the room, I called to rush our dog bed and bowls because poor Scooby was huffing and puffing. He'd never been in an elevator before and found the first ride stressful (he laid down with all legs fully out-stretched as if to hug the floor). After a few rides, he got over it.
The pet beds are hypo-allergenic and look like they have washable covers. Not to mention, they're cute! The plastic bowl set worked just fine. I eventually placed a towel underneath so he didn't make a gigantic mess with his big head. In case you're wondering, he eats Honest Kitchen dog food with an allergy medication floater.
5. There Will Be Other Dogs
I am not used to family travel with my dog so never really paid attention to other dogs in our hotels. During our short stay at Hotel La Jolla, we ran into several other friendly dogs.
6. Pet Relieving Area
Initially, I wasn't sure where to take our dog to the bathroom so we ventured out to the back parking lot. It turns out that there is a lovely walkway surrounded by plenty of grass in front of the hotel with signage indicating that this is where dogs are welcome to do their business. The pet-friendly hotel has disposal bags for your convenience but I used my own. There's a dumpster near the walkway in which to throw full bags. Anyway, what I like about the signage is that it makes you not feel awkward about the whole thing.
7. It's Close To Dog-Friendly Dining
Avenida de la Playa, the street that takes you to the beach, is home to dog-friendly restaurants including Barbarella, where there's a dog menu that includes pizza and ice cream. Grab some retro candy, famous oatmeal cookie and a gourmet sandwich from the Cheese Shop and eat it on their patio or at the beach.
8. Staff Is Armed With Treats
Though we didn't receive the doggie treat at check-in, Scooby inhaled a doggie bacon treat during wine hour. Maybe it's the treats but pretty much every Hotel La Jolla staff member we came into contact with was incredibly comfortable around dogs.
9. Dog Walking And Sitting Services
If you need to be away from your dog, have no fear. The concierge can arrange for dog sitting and walking services with advance notice. We didn't leave ours, because I was nervous but since he's not a barker I would have ventured up to CUSP for a quick dinner without any hesitation.
10. Free WiFi AND You Can Raid The Mini Bar
It's a Kimpton! I appreciate that with your FREE Kimpton InTouch Guests Rewards membership WiFi is free and you receive a $10 credit to "raid the mini bar" which means you can treat yourself to an item or two on the house. We enjoyed gummy bears, juice and wine so the $10 helped curb that bill. In NYC, it's $15 and there are other perks like membership-only events and the like.
Good To Know
We are a family of early risers so not having hot items like eggs available via room service prior to 7:00am is a little bit of an issue. A handful of things are available, however, like muffins. Delicious coffee and tea are available in the lobby in the early morning, negating the need for an in-room coffee maker, perhaps.
I had to ring for the dog bed and bowl as it wasn't waiting for us in the room, so if your dog is famished make sure he grabs a drink before walking into the hotel here.
We didn't do it this time, but I love hanging out at the Hiatus Lounge, the retro-style bar area near the pool.
The room we stayed in didn't have a bath tub, which might be an issue for parents of young kids. That being said, the shower has a glass wall (with a shade, if you so choose to conceal yourself) allowing for an ocean view while bathing. The room wasn't huge nor over-the-top luxe, but it definitely had what we needed including very comfortable beds.
The concierge can arrange in-room yoga, in-room massages and basically whatever you need to have a wonderful vacation. Bikes are available for complimentary use for the quick ride to the beach and beyond. Burn off calories at the fitness center, too.
There are no resort fees and a morning paper is available by request.
So, make Hotel La Jolla a contender for your next La Jolla family vacation or staycation. I pleased that family travel with a pet was easier than I thought it would be!

Are you looking for booth rent for a Massage Business? Massage Indy, an Indianapolis based Massage & Bodywork Services Company, today announces the launch of a Pay As You Use Massage Room Rental Service. In response to an ever increasing number of new massage school graduates entering the marketplace, Massage INDY will utilize its many furnished massage rooms to help kick-start the careers of new and current massage therapists by ensuring they can build their practice without ANY pre-paid overhead expenses.
Why pay Booth Rent?
Pay As You Use Massage Room Rental Services includes a professional massage room fully stocked with sheets, headrest covers, Biotone Nutri Natural Massage Creme, spa music and players, blanket and more. There is a sliding scale for the fee for this service based on how many times one rents per week. Uses 1 through 3 are $25 for up to 1 1/2 hours of usage. Uses 4 and up are $20 for up to 1 1/2 hours of usage.
To ensure smooth operations of this program, Massage iNDY has a web-based booking system exclusively for Room renters that gives up-to-the-second availability of each room as well as allowing for reservations to be input 24 hours a day. For privacy and respect of client information, client details from room renters are NOT entered into the system, rather the scheduling Therapist simply reserves the room in his/her name.
A sample case study of a typical therapist working from a private office suit with a monthly price of $500, where he or she sees 8 clients a week will pay an average of $500/32 = $16 per client. If that was the only fee associated with running and maintaining an office, the room rental rates would still be fair because of the lack of lease commitments and deposits. However, the reality is there are costs associated with an office such as: utilities ($75), laundry ($40), massage cremes ($60), internet/phone ($55) and numerous unforeseen expenses. Factoring these expenses into the overall cost, $500 + $230 = $730 or ($730/32 = $23 per client. When slow weeks or months happen, the per massage costs/expenses is further increased.
There is not a signup fee associated with this program. There is a pre-payment of your first rental due upon initial orientation. Normal payments are due AFTER each reservation has been completed. This allows a therapist to EARN the money before in turn paying the rental fee. Further savings can be had with a $2 pre-payment credit for each pre-paid session paid at least 24 hours before rental occurs.
Each renter is given 3 no-penalty, no-show credits. Occassionally, a client will book with a therapist and fail to show, thus "no show". The reserved room was blocked and unavailable for others to use and the therapist is expected to pay for this reservation. However, each therapist will not be charged for the first 3 times this occurrs, nor will they be charged if the reservation is cancelled 3 hours or more in advance of the reservation. And if a therapist rents more than 10 times in any given month there will never be charges for "no show" reservations.
Please call 317 Four Four Eight - 3228 for more information and schedule a walk-through.

Photo by Tech. Sgt. Rob Hazelett
Chief Master Sgt. Steve Bohannon, Command Chief Master Sergeant of the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing, presents the "Warrior of the Week" award to Airman 1st Class Michael Campana, 455th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels distribution operator, on Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Aug. 21, 2013. Campana, a native of Ewa, Hawaii, stationed at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., singlehandedly issued more than 1.1 million gallons of jet fuel to 693 aircraft in less than three months, and bested his peers to the fuels flight's "Million Gallon Club" by one month. His attention to detail was shown when documenting all transactions, and maintaining 100 percent accuracy of $4.1 million of jet fuel, saving the Fuels Service Center more than 150 hours processing transactions to Defense Logistics Agency Energy.

Looked like maybe CS27 found something with his race setup before he put the soft option tyre on.
Good pace from all ... any of the top 4 could take the out the race tomorrow. No clear favourite at this stage IMHO.

So new release Tuesday happens to fall on April Fools Day this year and there are several games releasing. I am going to try and hit the ones I think are the most noteworthy so I apologize if I leave one of your favorites off. I was also trying to rack my brain for some kind of April Fools joke but honestly I can't top the release of Goat Simulator. I can just imagine a bunch of disgruntled game programmers getting drunk and throwing stupid ideas out at each other and...yeah...Goat Simulator. As I write this, it is also Opening Day of the MLB so what better way to celebrate then to overuse baseball analogies! It's the top of the third inning and the "PC Master Race" have hit a grand slam while the "MS Fanboys" are in the dugout with nothing to show but a walk to first. In other news, both the Playstation and Nintendo teams are on top but it's actually their farm teams this week that are really starting to shine!
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate Deluxe (PC, PS3, Xbox 360, WiiU)
So if you are a fan of the recent slate of Batman games and you were jealous that your Vita and 3DS buddies got to play a 2.5D offshoot of Batman: Arkham Origins and you didn't, well come April 1st you get your chance! As a $20 download only title for PC and Consoles, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate Deluxe comes complete with upgraded HD graphics and sound! Woohoo??? Is an updated handheld game worth your $20? I guess that depends on how many bats you need in your life. Maybe the trailer below can help guide your decision.
Goat Simulator (PC)
So watch the Dead Island-esque trailer below and ask yourself this question: Does the world really need Goat Simulator? I guess your answer depends solely on how twisted your sense of humor is along with your tolerance for plain and nonsensical idiotic fun! I don't think there is a lot of "game" here but I could probably waste a couple of hours dragging dudes onto a treadmill and shooting them out a window or taking them for rides on a goat endowed with a jet pack. Goat Simulator chews its way onto your hard drives on April 1st.
Halo: Spartan Assault (PC)
So if you are reading this and scratching your head wondering why Halo: Spartan Assault is on this list, please know that I did the very same thing. I own this game on my Windows phone, my Win8 rig and my Xbox One. Why is this showing up as releasing for PC...again? Well, it turns out that Halo: Spartan Assault is launching April 4th via Steam for all Windows machines for those who weren't brave enough to jump into the Win8 pool. This is a decent game and if you have a 360 controller on your rig it's even better.
Mercenary Kings (PS4)
So being bi-console-curious I tend to play around with the Playstation 4 kiosk whenever I can. I still have ongoing issues with the controller but I have to admit that the system looks good and the kiosk games look great. That being said, I don't really know where Mercenary Kings fits in on the PS4 platform. I don't want to knock Mercenary Kings as I know what it's going for here but it definitely is not pushing the boundaries of the PS4's capabilities. Hell, I have piMame running on an overclocked Raspberry Pi that seems like it could run this. Yeah, I know graphics aren't everything but sometimes they help. That being said, Mercenary Kings is free to PlayStation Plus members on April 1st so if you are a member you should check it out. The rest of you have to pony up $20 or go find a rom of Contra to fill that gap.
MLB 14: The Show (PS3, Vita)
Given the complete lack of baseball games on any other system, MLB 14: The Show for the Playstation 3 is, by default, the definitive Major League Baseball experience. I am not trying to be facetious here as, unlike other sports games without competition, the MLB series consistently puts out great products year after year. You loyal PS3 and/or Vita owners can get your mitt on MLB 14:The Show on April 1st while those waiting for it to release on the PS4 must wait until May 6th.
The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One)
I would assume at this point in time nearly every Elder Scrolls fan said their goodbyes to family and friends and retreated to their basement lair. They fired up their water cooled SLI-ed geForce Titan rig with triple 27" monitors, stocked the beer fridge with Mountain Dew, cleaned out the neighborhood 7-11 of Doritos and arranged for pizza to be delivered every 24 hours. Early access to The Elder Scrolls Online already began and the rest of the world will join in on April 4th. The question is this: Can The Elder Scrolls Online come anywhere near the success of World of Warcraft? I know the trailer below is not indicative of actual in game footage but if the gameplay and story can elicit the emotion and brutal combat shown then I believe it has a chance.

Moffat talks Multi-Doctor, Series 7, Xmas
Before last night's BFI screening for Asylum of the Daleks, Steven Moffat was interviewed on Radio 5 by host Richard Bacon.
The pair chatted about a wide range of topics including Series 7, the 2012 Christmas special (Moffat says Richard E. Grant is going to be a great villain) and the 50th anniversary.
Moffat spoke about multi-Doctor stories, though he dodged the question on whether there will be one: "I'm not telling you," he said.
When Bacon replied: "That means a yes," Moffat said: "No it doesn't. That means I'm not telling you!"
When Bacon brings up Tennant's recent 50th anniversary comments, Moffat responded: "I saw [David] the other night, he's in very good form."
However Moffat claimed it was nothing to do with the 50th anniversary: "He's a mate of mine. We went for the dinner the other night. I showed him photos of the new series."
Moffat is also asked by a listener about Series 8, but again dodges it.

This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Anal sex is treated as quite the taboo in mainstream society. But given how many butt-banging sites I see on a weekly basis I gotta believe that there are plenty more women out there who like cock in the ass who just don't like to brag about it in the way that these porn hotties do - by showing it off on camera.
Backdoor Pumpers is an anal-sex site. When you sing in you will immediately see "what's new." These are the most recently added videos and photo sets and you can even hover over the thumbnail images to see a short slideshow presentation of the scene, which is a great way to quickly preview it.
From there you can either click on the "view all" link or go to the picture or movie sections from the top-page menu. Doing so will provide you with 1,160 videos and 550 photo sets. This is a good amount and they are updating daily (sometimes with multiple movies), but be aware that the collection is nonexclusive.
I recognized a few of the scenes and so will you probably. There are gonzo and reality scenes, as well as multiple ones featuring big-name pornstars. For example, I did a search for Sasha Grey and found two hot scenes in which her beautiful ass gets reamed hard and deep.
Each of the videos comes with multiple download options and a streaming option that plays in an embedded Flash or Windows Media player. You will always be able to find a good-quality file and a little over 200 of the movies offer an HD download. I was expecting to see all the newer ones giving me the HD choice, but that isn't the case. The HD movies are spread out throughout the collection.
The design and navigation are pretty good and if you look along the sides of the pages and in the top-page menu you will see "hot sites." From what I can tell, these sites, like Amateur Porn Hunt, are part of the Pimp Passport network and as such they come with your membership.
Looking for a nonexclusive collection of anal sex movies? Well, in that case Backdoor Pumpers will have you covered and the bonuses add some value as well.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

WHEELING -Bordas & Bordas PLLC has again been voted No. 1 in the attorneys category for The intelligencer and Wheeling News-Register's Readers' Choice awards. The Wheeling-based law firm is one of the largest plaintiff's litigation firms in West Virginia.
"We consider it an honor that the readers chose our firm for this award," said Jim Bordas, co-founder of the firm. "Every year that we have received this recognition is special because it is voted upon by the community where we live and work. I hope that we continue to meet and exceed the expectations of those who selected us."
Bordas & Bordas was founded in 1985 by the husband and wife partnership of Jim and Linda Bordas. Since that time, the firm has grown to 15 attorneys and 22 other staff members. The firm also has an office in St. Clairsville and will be soon be opening a third location in Moundsville.
Article Photos
Two years ago, the firm established a new logo that it believes reflects the values of the firm.
Jamie Bordas, the managing partner of the firm and son of the founders, said, "Our logo is a shield with four quadrants. Each quadrant stands for something that is important to our firm - Experience, Community, Family and Results. These quadrants are joined together by a Cross that goes through the middle of the shield that serves as a reminder that we are a Christian firm and should be guided by our faith in all that we do."
The experience of the firm continues to grow broader and broader. This year the firm added its fifth attorney to have graduated from Notre Dame. Each of the firm's attorneys has excelled before arriving at Bordas & Bordas. The roster of lawyers includes a former National Debate champion in Chris Regan, a West Point graduate in Geoff Brown, former Supreme Court clerks in Jay Stoneking and Michelle Marinacci, and the first person to ever obtain a 4.0 GPA in the professional accountancy program at Clemson in Jason Causey.
Jim Bordas said, "We strive to bring in the best legal talent that we can find. More importantly, our attorneys have continued to develop their skills and that has allowed us to handle all areas of plaintiff's litigation at a high level against some of the top defense firms in the country. We have the size, resources and knowledge to take on anyone."
The firm has not only handled cases throughout West Virginia and Ohio, but has also represented clients in other states as well.
"We have had a significant presence in these two states for years, but we have also handled cases in other states as well, including Pennsylvania, Indiana, New York, Delaware, North Carolina, Florida, New Mexico and Texas," Jamie Bordas said.
The Community and Family quadrants of the shield are just as important to the firm.
"Not a day goes by where we aren't doing something to help an individual or group in our community. I am always so proud when I see one of our attorneys or staff members helping others who need it," Linda Bordas said.
Jamie Bordas serves as president of the YMCA Board of Directors and is the chairman of the Catholic Charities West Virginia Annual Gala. Scott Blass and his wife, Kathy, founded Ohio Valley Breast Cancer Awareness and hold the annual Driving Fore a Cure Golf Tournament each October to provide support to women receiving treatment for breast cancer. Jim and Linda Bordas have been long-time supporters of countless local charities, including The Soup Kitchen, the Marshall County Animal Shelter and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.
When it comes to family, the firm not only strives to keep its family-based beginnings in mind, but also recognizes that when someone is seriously injured, the entire family is affected and needs the firm's help.
Jamie Bordas is proud that the firm is able to represent individuals who are unable to fight for justice on their own against large corporations or insurance companies.
"We have been able to consistently obtain results for our clients in so many different areas of plaintiff's litigation, he said. "My dad was on 60 Minutes when he helped change the way female coal miners are treated in the workplace. We have obtained record verdicts in cases involving bank misconduct, product liability, nursing home negligence, medical malpractice and insurance bad faith. Not many firms can say they have been able to do that. Our goal is to continue to get great results for our clients and to continue to build upon our past success. For the younger lawyers in our firm, we continue to all have the benefit of learning from two of the greatest trial lawyers that I have ever seen in my mom and dad and that has allowed so many of us to join them in continuing to get great results."
Jim Bordas is always quick to remind the attorneys at the firm to practice law for the right reason.
"I have always said that if you practice law because you want to help people, then you will be very successful. If you are just in it to make money, then you probably won't and will not be very successful in your career," he said. "The thing that I still enjoy most every day is helping people. That is what we are here to do. So many people need someone to listen to them. Even if it turns out that they don't have a case, people are so appreciative that someone took the time to listen to their story and care about them. That isn't just being a lawyer. It is being a caring human being and that is what I hope to instill in all of the lawyers at our firm."

I am writing a http server in java using ServerSocket and Socket respectively.
In specification it says that the request can be of "chunked" type. So how could I enable this option in any browser to test the parsing of the request?
You can easily make up the request on your own:
This request is split into three parts, and your server should receive
Note: you need another CRLF at the end of the request, which this markup language cannot display.
AFAIK most desktop browsers don't send chunked requests because some web servers don't handle them correctly (or at all) and it's easier to calculate the length than to detect/guess/remember which servers support it.

Birds and butterflies - Z990
Never thought I would get the opportunity to capture these Yucatan Bluejays as they tend to hide in the thick bushes. But I set the Z990 on auto iso and it has been performing well so when these birds exposed themselves briefly I took a chance.
The shots of the Julia are my first with the Z990, as this one was very obliging.
Thanks for looking.

Memory Tapes
Memory Tapes Defy Genre at Slim's
Can chillwave really be all that "chill" in the live setting? With apologies to the kids too baked to move, live instrumentation has a way of turning blissful ambiance into head-thrusting, dance-pop affairs. We saw it a few weeks ago with Washed Out at GAMH, which turned trippy pop experimentation into an orgiastic dance affair. And last night at Slim's, The Memory Tapes inspired something similar, winning dancing hearts and head-bobbing minds with a sound more rooted in tradition pop ideas than any new genre-of-the-moment branding would suggest.
Noise Pop Last Night: Memory Tapes, Birds & Batteries, Loquat
It was a mashup of sorts last night at Bottom of the Hill - the sounds of Birds & Batteries, Loquat and headliner Memory Tapes don't necessarily go together. But to each his own, and though most of the all-ages crowd was there to shimmy to Memory Tapes, Loquat and Birds & Batteries certainly did their part to impress some local musical talent.

WASHINGTON - An impatient White House prodded banks and other financial companies Tuesday to quit hoarding billions of dollars flowing into their vaults from Washington and start making more loans.
Hoping to thaw the credit freeze that has chilled the economy, the Bush administration sent banks an unmistakable message to put aside fears and open up loan windows for cash-starved businesses and consumers who have pulled back on spending.
"What we're trying to do is get banks to do what they are supposed to do, which is support the system that we have in America. And banks exist to lend money," White House press secretary Dana Perino said. Although there are limits to Washington's power to affect banks' behavior, the White House decided it was time to use its bully pulpit.
"They (regulators) will be watching very closely, and they're working with the banks," Perino said.
Meanwhile, Treasury Department officials met with banking-industry representatives to resolve a glitch in the rescue program that has temporarily prevented about 6,000 of the nation's 8,500 banks from applying for government support.
The Treasury is buying preferred shares in banks as a way of injecting cash into the institutions. But about 6,000 banks don't have publicly traded shares of stock and therefore are not set up to meet the Treasury's qualifications.
Treasury officials at the meeting assured banking-industry representatives that they are working to rework the application forms so that both banks with publicly traded stock and privately held institutions can qualify for the program. They said if the Nov. 14 deadline for applying for government support needs to be extended, it will be.
Washington has pumped money and confidence-building measures into the system over recent weeks to get lending, the lifeblood of the credit-dependent American economy, flowing freely again and to combat the worst financial crisis since the 1930s. So far, though, it has not worked. Although the crucial and much-watched short-term lending rate called the London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, has come down, it remains at elevated levels.
Today, the Federal Reserve is expected to announce a cut in its fed funds rate, and Wall Street is looking for a drop in the key interest rate by half a point to 1 percent.
At the center of the administration's efforts to thaw credit is the $700 billion financial-bailout plan approved by Congress and signed by Bush earlier this month. Under that law's authority, the administration is doling out $250 billion to banks in return for partial ownership.
The Treasury Department, which is overseeing the huge capital-injection program along with the rest of the bailout, will pour $125 billion into nine of the country's largest banks, which account for 50 percent of all U.S. deposits. Anthony Ryan, the Treasury's acting undersecretary for domestic finance, said the first payments went out Tuesday. Another $125 billion will start flowing to other banks within days, he said.
"As these banks and institutions are reinforced and supported with taxpayer funds, they must meet their responsibility to lend and support the American people and the U.S. economy," Ryan told the annual meeting of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. "It is in a strengthened institution's best financial interest to increase lending once it has received government funding."
Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight Committee, asked the banks getting the $125 billion to detail what they are paying their executives and employees, including bonuses. "I question the appropriateness of depleting the capital that taxpayers just injected into the bank through the payment of billions of dollars in bonuses, especially after one of the financial industry's worst years on record," he said.
The infusion of federal money is to rebuild banks' battered capital reserves so the institutions would feel comfortable resuming more normal lending practices. But that confidence was undercut somewhat when reports surfaced that bankers might use the money to buy other banks.
Indeed, the government approved PNC Financial Services Group Inc. to receive $7.7 billion in return for company stock on Friday and, at the same time, PNC said it was acquiring National City Corp. for $5.58 billion.
There is little federal officials can do about it. There is no language in the bailout bill that specifically obligates banks receiving money to increase their loans. Officials had argued that attaching strings to the capital-infusion program would discourage financial institutions from participating.
"The way that banks make money is by lending money," Perino said. "And so they have every incentive to move forward and start using this money."

DAVIDSON – The lure of ballet's graceful movement pulled Terilynne Knox in at the tender age of 5, when she first saw "Swan Lake."
"I just thought, 'that's what I want to do,' and thank goodness it worked out, but I was inspired by a performance," she said.
After receiving a ballet teaching degree from Virginia Intermont College, Knox relocated to the Lake Norman area 30 years ago and began working with students.
Now the director and owner of her own studio, Dance Davidson, she recalls with laughter earlier days spent teaching technique using a pull-out ironing board in the home economics room of the Ada Jenkins Center.
At Dance Davidson, her 11 instructors help dancers ages 3 to adult master the art of ballet, Pointe, jazz, modern and contemporary dance. Knox said it is particularly gratifying to teach the children of the students she instructed when she first moved here.
"People who don't know ballet think it's this wonderful, magical . . . and it is magic, don't get me wrong, that it's glamorous and it's costumed and it's special makeup," she said. "But that's just one very small part, that's what the audience gets to see. It is really repetition. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again."
Knox said real ballet is about technique and a lot of hard, grueling work.
That's why she's especially proud of Libby Dy, 12, and Ryan Massey, 14, who will attend a five-week intensive summer program at American Ballet Theatre in Manhattan, after beating out thousands of other applicants.
Another student, Lauren Mock, 14, also earned a spot at a two-week summer program hosted by the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet.
All three students have that "certain type of body" Knox said instructors look for – long and lean. They dedicate five to six afternoons a week to dancing at have studio. Libby and Lauren have both taken classes at Dance Davidson since they were 3.
"The easiest ballet steps are often the hardest," Lauren said. "Running, jumping and leaping are easy, but working at the bar perfecting technique is tricky."
The trio's summer classes will focus on ballet technique, learning more about the proper way to hold their bodies and execute movements.
Ryan said that fully committing to the craft of ballet by practicing on his own is the hardest part of dancing.
"In ballet now, if you get into a ballet company, it's not just classical ballet," Knox said. "You're dancing modern choreography and jazz, and even a little bit of musicals. You need to be more well-rounded."
Libby said her parents plan to rent an apartment in New York and will take turns staying with her while she's in class.
Knox is excited for her students to learn more about ballet's historic choreography, such as dancing the solo of the Sugarplum Fairy in "The Nutcracker." In this way, they'll keep old traditions alive.
"It's very gratifying because this type of choreography has been passed down for hundreds of years," she said.

People regularly interact with different representations of Web pages. A person looking for new information may initially find a Web page represented as a short snippet rendered by a search engine. When he wants to return to the same page the next day, the page may instead be represented by a link in his browser history. Previous research has explored how to best represent Web pages in support of specific task types, but, as we find in this paper, consistency in representation across tasks is also important. We explore how different representations are used in a variety of contexts and present a compact representation that supports both the identification of new, relevant Web pages and the re-finding of previously viewed pages.}, author = {Jaime Teevan and Ed Cutrell and Danyel Fisher and Steven Drucker and Gonzalo Ramos and Paul Andre and Chang Hu}, month = {April}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery, Inc.}, title = {Visual Snippets: Summarizing Web Pages for Search and Revisitation}, url = {http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=141338}, year = {2009}, }

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
What is the best reliable source to find out about the liens and liabilities on the title of a foreclosure property in auction before I bid on it?
When a property in auction has multiple "defendants" (borrowers, construction co, associations) shouldn't all but the borrowers be "defendants" and all others -who I assume also want to collect from the borrower- "plaintiffs", together with the lender?
What do you consider the most valuable advise for someone who has never bid on a foreclosure property auction before?
