'Concerns over domestic drones: spying, civil liberties' abuse & accidents'
The US Federal Aviation Administrationissued draft regulationsfor the use of private drones on Sunday.
RT:Let's look at the bright side first. What advantages could the widespread use of domestic drones bring to businesses and customers?
Ed Kinane: There are various practical uses for drones. For example, farmers might use them to survey large acreages to check on perhaps diseases in their crops. Real estate agents might use them for photographing properties so they might better sell them. News gathering organizations could use drones to get special camera angles that couldn't get otherwise. Some corporations see themselves delivering products to customers using drones.
RT:How much of a potential danger do these drones pose to commercial aviation?
EK: The risk of accidents I think is very high. The technology is rapidly developing but it still needs to develop much more before it's really safe. And then there is also the risk that amateurs using drones may cross the path of commercial flights leading to collisions. Also, the drones may crash. There isn't necessarily a lot of quality control with the drones. So they might get out of control and crash, damaging property or maybe even hurting people. There is a risk of the drones being hacked by parties who maybe have bad intentions.
RT:Do you think there will be people who will try to use domestic drones for illegal activities?
EK: I'm sure they will. You can picture criminals using them; you can picture insurgents using them, you can picture terrorists using them. But my particular concern would be that intelligence agencies and police abuse them. I think that is a very real threat of abusing our civil liberties, our First Amendment rights here in this country.
RT:A huge amount of surveillance data could be gathered by these drones. Should people be concerned by this?
EK: I think we should be very concerned about the abuse of the drones for surveillance. Already we have US intelligence agencies like the FBI, NSA gathering enormous amounts of surveillance data with very little control over them. And we've seen that our intelligence agencies don't necessarily respect out laws regarding these matters. Trying to enforce regulations is very difficult especially when you go up against the NSA, the National Security Administration, or the FBI, or Homeland Security. There is very little in the way of enforcement.
The FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration, is already stretched very thin. And it's not their function to be enforcing the rules and regulations, and they don't have the means to do it. It is a very risky situation we're going into…We would have many drones in the air probably... how do we know which ones are doing what? It would give very good cover to spy drones because we're just used to seeing drones in the air. So we don't think of it when we see drones that really are performing functions that are very inappropriate for them.

A lot of people wonder what happened to "United Media", the license holder who was to produce Rainbow Brite products in 2009/2010. The year started off strong with new dolls, and a few new products, but suddenly disappeared mid summer 2010.
So, what happened?:
Iconix Brand purchased the Peanut's license from United Media. June of 2010, the merger was finalized. All the products used by United Media were then changed to the name "Peanuts World Wide". The website changed titles, but most previous news letters and press releases were still on the Peanuts World Wide site. The team at United Media and at Hallmark did not change, the same people stayed on staff.
In the midst of the merger and the economic changes in the US, Playmate's toys changed much of it's toy products and Rainbow Brite was one of the unfortunate titles cut. The toy company still held the contract with United Media until the end of 2010, so with no toys being produced and still under contract other licensees were sought.
However at the end of 2010 Licenses with United Media/Peanuts World Wide expired for all parties and control was given back to Hallmark. Hallmark is now back in licensing control of the Rainbow Brite toy and products lines. No other news is currently available about what is to come, but we will keep you informed.
In the meantime:
Support Rainbow Brite and purchase officially licensed products!
Current products include (but not limited to):
- Bikes by Kent
- PJ's at Target
- Coloring Pages by Crayola
- Miscellaneous products by Toon Labs Ink currently being sold at Spencer's Gifts
- Customize products from Zazzle.com

Everything Is Just Jake
First before I get to Jake's fantastic burger I need to update readers about my reviews here. After Jake's Burger made it to the cover of Milwaukee Magazine's cover of their burger review in August of 2012. There is a reason I took time off from my burger quest and that's because sampling over 100 of the area's burger's took it's toll on my. I gained over 25 pounds in the pursuit of the best burgers in the Milwaukee area. I spent all of 2012 focused on losing the 25 ponds I gained. Well, I not only lost the 25 but another 45 pounds on top of that for a total of 65 pounds for the year which feels great. Unfortunately that meant no burgers (or fries, or much of anything unhealthy) for a while and even no alcohol (ok, for a while but I do still have a couple beers or so again on weekends, I'm not crazy). Bottom line is I'm back in a size 34 jeans and want to stay there but I will still sample burgers once more!
A year is a long time to go without a burger but the reward is finding a new burger joint and a new burger to write about. The burgers are the main attraction at Jake's and are available without buns and are called "rafts" served open faced and meant to be eaten with a knife and fork. I liked the description for several burgers but I was mainlytry to decide between a Jake's Burger and the California Raft Burger. The Jake's Burger had cheddar cheese, oven roasted tomato, butter lettuce, haystack onions and a special sauce. The California Raft Burger had butter lettuce, oven roasted tomato, avocado, special sauce & Neuske's bacon. When my server asked how I was doing and I told her of my dilemma, she suggested I try one as a $1.50 slider special. What a great idea! I ordered the Jake's Burger with the California as a slider.
The burger patties themselves are made in house from a combination of ground sirloin and brisket. The meat had good flavor and texture. The shoestrings were nice and crisp and were nice and crispy as they should be. There are several options for sides which are extra: house cut fries ($1.95 & $3.75), crispy sweet potato fries ($1.95 & $3.95), creamy cole slaw ($2.95) and haystack onions ($3.95). I opted for no sides since I had the haystack onions on the burger and I don't want to go in the other direction and add on any weight to what I lost.
There are other toppings you can add:
Port-Caramelized Onions $1.5
Nueskes Applewood Bacon (2 Slices) $2.5
Fried Egg $1
Haystack Onions $1.5
Beer Cheese Sauce $1.5
Brie Cheese $2
White Truffle Oil $1.5
Wisconsin Blue Cheese $1.5
Wisconsin Aged Cheddar Cheese $1.5
Avocado Half $1.5
In hindsight I would have opted for the Nueske's bacon as you can't go wrong there. All of the toppings for their burgers are available to add and customize as you see fit.
There is a bar with both cocktails and a surprisingly good beer selection.
Jakes Burgers is closed Sunday & Monday.
A Little Something Extra
Lagniappe might be the most difficult to pronounce name on the best burger list, but it did have one of my personal favorite burgers on the list. Lagniappe (lan-YAP) is a Cajun-French-Louisiana term for merchants in southern Louisiana who add "a little something" to your purchase as a small gift for making your purchase in their store or shop. Or restaurant in this case.
Lagniappe is very much an upscale restaurant located on the border of New Berlin and Brookfield on Greenfield Ave in the small, intimate building that used to house Steven Wade's café. It is still an upscale restaurant that serves Continental cuisine, that being cuisine from different countries from around the world and what better item to have on your menu representing American cuisine but the American Hamburger. And Lagniappe perfects this creation in their Kobe Burger with 9 year old Cheddar cheese. If you want to experience as close to a "perfect burger" as you'll find, this is it.
This is food porn at its finest. If you want a picture of a perfect cheese burger, this is it. No tower of toppings, no wilted lettuce, no special sauce, no secret ingredients or gimmicks to make this burger better. It stands on its own by the taste of the beef and cheese. Burger perfection. The Kobe patty is actually the American version of Kobe beef, Wagyu.
Kobe beef has strict guidelines to be called Kobe beef. It is from Tajima cows raised, fed and slaughtered in the Prefecture (state) of Hyogo Japan. It is fed a diet of special grain feed, a beer a day, and a rubdown with warn sake every day. I'm sure PETA would still think it is somehow cruel but it is pretty much the ultimate lifestyle in the bovine world.
Wagyu is the American version of Kobe beef since true Kobe beef is from those cows in the small region of Japan. America being one of the beef capitals of the world has our own version of Kobe known as Wagyu by breeding The Japanese Kobe cow with the American Angus for an animal that can thrive in our climate but tastes close to it's Japanese cousin. Wagyu comes from the Japanese wa (Japanese) gyu (cow), Japanese Cow. They too are fed a special diet of alfalfa, barley, corn and wheat straw and a beer a day and then massaged with sake.
The result is fantastic tasting beef.
Since this is the simplest form of the cheeseburger at it's purist, it needs to rely on all three of it's simple components, the patty, cheese and bun. The bun itself is homemade and is big and sturdy enough for the job of supporting the large patty yet soft and yielding like a good bun should be. The patty itself is a perfectly formed patty that looks dry when it arrives with just the melted cheese oozing down it's sides. When you bite into it however, there seems to be an invisible crust that kept all of the juices in because you are immediately met with juices running freely from the meat down your hands and arms and then on your plate.
The patty has wonderful beef flavor an the meat is almost granular in its consistency and it is so moist and juicy that it needs nothing else for flavor except the cheese. In this case the cheese is 9 year old cheddar which adds a great tang you can clearly taste which adds depth to the cheese flavor that ordinary cheddar just can't touch. Nine year old cheddar is hard to find in a dairy case much less a restaurant but here it helps make one of the best cheeseburgers in Milwaukee. The cheese on my burger was made while Bill Clinton was still in office!
Served along with the burger are home made gaufrette potato chips which is a fancy way of saying waffle cut chips. I was tryinhg to remember what they taste like and couldn't figure it out until it hit me, Muncho's potato chips. They taste like a fancy looking Muncho potato chip. You also have your choice of caponata salad, cole slaw or cottage cheese.
This is a small, intimate restaurant (great romantic choice for Valentine's day or other romantic occasion) that you want to wear something appropriate for and isn't the typical sports bar type place to go for a cheeseburger but is worth the trip and definitely the $11 price tag for this perfect cheeseburger.
I'm ready for my beer and the sake massage now.

Bigg's Roadhouse
"Who's Your Bigg Daddy?
Bigg's Roadhouse, located in the shadow of Hwy 45 just south of Mayfair mall, is Roadhouse bar filled with license plates and beer signs on the walls and TVs everywhere you turn so you never miss a play of the game. They have drink specials so often that it would be difficult to be in the bar when there isn't a drink deal to be had. Every day during the week happy hour is going on from 2-6pm. I stopped by in the early afternoon and was greeted with hello from the bartender and an offer of free potato skins. I like this place already! I've been here all of two minutes and already have a great snack.
But I'm not here for the skins, I'm here for the burger. And just my luck, they have a great Bigg Daddy Burger ($9.95), the operative being BIG. This is one big, fat juicy burger. The patty itself is 13 ounces of Black Angus beef, 3 oz short of a full pound! This is supported by a grilled bun and topped however you like with your choice of cheeses, mushrooms, onions, bacon, mustard and ketchup. It is grilled to medium unless you specify otherwise and leaves plenty of juice to dribble down your arms as you eat.
You have a choice of fries (waffle cut, seasoned), tater tots, homemade potato chips,cottage cheese or a cup of soup. I had the fries which were hot and crispy.
In addition to the Bigg Daddy burger there is a cheeseburger, Baconcheeseburger, Cajun, Mushroomswiss, Blackjack and Turkey burgers. There is also an extensive menu of pizza(1/2 price Tuesday Nights), ribs, steaks, great apps, desserts and other specialty sandwiches.
In addition to their great burgers they have a lot lot of specials and a large variety of choices. One thing you've GOT to try if you're a rib fan is theirall-you-can-eat ribs (and chicken) on Wednesdays for $14.95. First of all AYCE ribs is a great deal for $15 but when they are as good as Biggs its a fantastic deal. I love ribs and live near Famous Dave's and have enjoyed their BBQ there and their ribs are good but are not nearly as tender and fall of the bone as these are and the sauce is awesome too. Haven't tried the chicken yet but I have tried their fish fry. Go with the cod over the walleye, both are good but the cod is slightly better and AYCE.
I haven't tried anything else at Biggs but I have read a number of reviews at Yelp or Urban Spoon that they have a fantastic steaks and for much less than a steakhouse. Maybe not the same ambiance as Mo's but very high quality.

The IDA website has tons of useful information about light pollution -- the causes, the myths, and easy solutions. It is the best place to start if you want to find out everything you can about this problem. Be sure to visit their Information Sheets. See the links below for some examples of the excellent documents available. Be sure to observe the IDA Copyrights.
Light Pollution: The Problem, The
This concise document is a very good starting point to understanding what light pollution is, and what some of the solutions are.

IDA Outdoor Lighting Code Handbook
Version 1.0
This new publication should prove to be an invaluable tool to those who are involved with writing lighting ordinances.
U.S. Department of Justice Study of
Street Lighting and Crime
Lighting doesn't reduce crime, only our fear of crime.
This is the whole huge update version of the document mentioned above, from the National Institute of Justice. This is more current (c1997 or so) than the document meentioned above. Look for the "OPEN PUBLIC SPACES " section in Chapter 7 for the discussion of outdoor lighting. If you search for "lighting" throughout the document, you will see the trend of inconclusive evidence. It looks like taxpayers should be asking for their city officials to do some controlled scientific pilot projects before unleashing costly lighting projects in crime plagued areas!

Security Lighting: Let's Have Real
Security, Not Just Bad Lighting.
Ok, you still want to "feel" secure. Here are some things to think about if you want to take light pollution into consideration.
Advice Before Installing an Outdoor
Lighting System
You have been asked, or you have decided, to install an outdoor light for a relative or yourself. Your concerns are primarily being able to see what you are doing when you are outside, but you like the security aspect of an outdoor fixture as well. Please read this page before you buy!
How To Talk To Your Neighbor Who Has
A Bad Light
What do you do if your neighbor installs a bright light that shines in your window and keeps you awake all night. First, don't assume the neighbor intended to disturb you. They probably just wanted to be able to see at night, and have a feeling of security. Approach your neighbor as a fellow member of the neighborhood, not as an enemy. Ask them nicely to help you solve your problem with their light. Educate and communicate. Don't be judgemental. This page takes you through some alternatives to discuss with your neighbor.
Talking Hasn't Worked. Shall I Sue
This page takes you through the legal considerations. There are many. As in most cases where this question is asked, try every other avenue you can think of first. Educate, build awareness, offer the offender assistance, ask the offender to help you wth your problem. Be nice all the way! Suing is a cost ot time and money, a real hassle -- for everybody.
Rethinking the Conventional Wisdom of Security Lighting
This page has some excellent ideas for security professionals who need to use lighting schemes within an overall security system design.

Pet Urine
We specialize in pet urine removal. Madison residents love their pets and sometimes it's hard to control when and where they choose to make a mess. This one of the biggest problems homeowner's face.
Treating pet urine issues is done on a case by case basis. There are many factors that go into urine cleaning that include: animal size, age, breed, diet and illnesses such as kidney problems.
We treat all kinds of urine issues, even the tough ones. Check out these videos to see how it's done:
Your 4 Options For Pet Stain And Odor Removal Depends On The Severity:
Urine decontamination often requires more than just a top cleaning of the carpet. There are many surfaces and layers that can be affected. Please note that when cleaning urine spots, there is a difference between cleaning the urine stain and treating for urine odor. Cleaning existing urine spots MAY NOT remove the associated odor. In fact, it could INCREASE the odor in the air space for a temporary period of time. Here are some options depending on the severity. Not all treatments can be guaranteed to completely remove the odor. Let us explain your choices for removal and your expectations of what the results will be.
1 - Light Contamination- 80% Successful
The pet has had an occasional accident and the carpet backing and padding has not been saturated and may be acceptably surface cleaned.
- First, the affected spots must be identified as explained above.
- Next, an appropriate enzymatic pretreatment is sprayed on the top of the carpet. It's probably a good idea to treat the spots as well as the whole room since pets track their mess onto other areas of the carpet.
- Then we wait and let the enzymatic pretreatment neutralize the urine,before cleaning takes place.
2 - Moderate Contamination- 65%-80% Successful
The pet has repeatedly contaminated the same spot. The carpet and pad are contaminated with urine. Although this treatment is a valiant attempt, it is NOT guaranteed to eliminate the odor, but it is often successful therefore avoiding the inconvenience of pulling the carpet up.
- First, the affected spots must be identified as explained above.
- Next, from the topside of the carpet we saturate a special cleaning solution on the urine stains penetrating the carpet and padding to reach the source of the odor.
- Then we wait and let the enzymatic pretreatment neutralize the urine
- Finally, we thoroughly clean the area.
3 - Heavy Contamination- Almost Guaranteed Odor Removal. 99.9% Successful
- First, the affected spots must be identified as explained above.
- The carpet is pulled back from the contaminated area.
- The affected carpet cushion / pad is removed.
- The sub floor is swept and cleaned to remove contamination.
- Apply an odor barrier/sealer to the sub floor, tackless strip and wall if needed.
- Saturate the contaminated carpet with a special cleaning solution.
- Then we wait and let the enzymatic pretreatment neutralize the urine
- Install new carpet cushion / pad.
- Reinstall the carpet.
- Finally, allow the carpet to dry before replacing furniture.
4 - Replacement- Guaranteed 100% Successful
Depending on the age & condition of the carpet and the severity of the urine contamination it may be wise to consider replacement of carpet and pad. The sub floor and any affected walls or baseboards must still be properly cleaned and sealed and then new pad and carpet can be installed.

Hello chic friends,
I just put together a fun little outfit for work today. I'm glad to be able to dress with a little quirk at my job, although I still get the "I don't get it" looks here and there. That's to be expected in small town New England I guess. This sequined silk bodysuit goes with almost everything and I absolutely love to wear it and the leather shorts, well, I love to wear those too, but only in a toned down way.
I hope you had a great Monday!!
Thanks for all the lovely comments on my past posts. I appreciate it;)

I have had many, many requests from site visitors asking about how to get the game. The number of these requests puzzled me at first, because I didn't understand why people who didn't already own the game would be visiting the site in the first place, and then it dawned on me. Of course! People were asking because they desperately wanted extra copies for their nieces, nephews, cousins and best friends. Since Chipsters are notorious for playing fair (except for wanting to know all the passwords, shortcuts and other built in cheats) naturally these people must want to know where they could purchase a legitimate copy of the game. <wink, wink>
Given that understanding, here's what I know.
MAC VERSION. To the best of my knowledge, this game has never been ported to the Mac, but there may be an emulation available that would play on the Mac.
ATARI VERSION. I don't know much about the Atari version except that devotees claim it plays much better than the Windows flavor. When this page was originally written in 1998, there were many, many advertisements offering Chip's Challenge and other Atari games for sale by individuals in the newsgroups, and I expect those ads migrated to eBay in their turn. Of course, that was practically prehistoric in internet time, but you might have some success on eBay or Craig's list. See the Tile World heading below for an even better option.
WINDOWS VERSION. The Microsoft Windows version is the game that's documented on this site. Microsoft pubished this game in two collections: Windows Entertainment Pack #4 and The Best of Microsoft Entertainment Pack (which was called Best of Windows Entertainment Pack in an earlier life). None of those products are currently available from Microsoft at this time. They won't offer the game, but they won't give up the copyright either. Hmpf!
TILE WORLD. Fortunately, a windows fan of long standing has created an emulation that plays Chip's levels in both Atari and Windows mode, and there are plenty of fans who are busy creating new games even as you read this. Yep. Currently, in 2010. Go Chipsters! Find links to Tile World and several other neat programs created by fans who just wouldn't let a good thing go on the Cool Tools and Other Fan(atic)s pages.

This has been a big week for the First Amendment.
In Arizona on Wednesday, Judge Roselyn Silver ruled that candidates who raise or use their own money in state elections will not be "gifting" taxpayer money to "clean election" candidates beyond the initial allotment given. In Arizona election parlance, it means no more matching funds. If you are a clean elections candidate, you may hope someone decides to run traditional and raise and spend a lot of money, because under the original law, any money raised by a traditional candidate beyond the threshold amount is matched with taxpayer money.
If the 9th Circuit decides not to take up the appeal from the Clean Elections Commission, it will be bad news for the likes of Governor Brewer, Dean Martin and Terry Goddard because Buzz Mills is poised to spend millions of dollars that would not be matched. The Governor's race just got a lot more interesting.
In a huge decision on Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the prohibition of unions and corporations from using money to directly advocate the election or defeat of a federal candidate. This is a total game-changer for federal politics. Because candidates and parties will still have the same restrictions on the type of money and the amount they can take, there will likely be some U.S. Senate races and U.S. House races in 2010 that are decided by outside interests.
Think of it this way. A union decides they want to target a Republican who voted against card check. That union could literally spend millions of dollars communicating directly to voters to throw the incumbent out.
Some will claim that this makes politics more dirty. I don't. Politics has always been pretty messy. It's the way human nature works. If a corporation decides that a particular candidate is dangerous to their industry, they can now campaign directly against them.
Seriously, this will change campaigns in a big, big way.
Let me give you an example. Remember when State Senator Jim Waring tried to pass a bill to do away with fees for breaking contracts with cell phone carriers? Ostensibly, if the likes of Verizon, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile thought he might pose a threat to them if he were elected to Congress, they could literally spend millions of dollars running ads and sending mail advocating his defeat.
Huh. Wonder if that will happen…
UPDATE: Lest someone think that I am singling out Waring, another example would be if the health insurance industry decided to run ads against Congressman Shadegg (if he were running again) because he exposed their continued immunity from lawsuits under ERISA in the Democrat House health care bill. It could also be that a consumer group, thankful to Waring for taking on cell companies, could run ads lauding his courage. The point is that the Supreme Court decision will likely fundamentally change the game of federal elections for the near future.

So let me get this straight. Your arguements here are as follows:
Its OK if politics gets a little more dirty because "it is always been pretty messy".
Its OK for a corporation to increase resources to rid the congress of an opposition legislator representing his constituents.
So Matthew, aside from the talking points you get from other people that you are too lazy to even rephrase or put into your own words, why exactly are you against free speech? You never really got around to that part…I mean, I read the New York Times, so spare me the regurgitation of it, please.
You are right. My talking points came directly out of Sean's recap. Next time instead of using Sean's words, I'll just make up my own.
Do you know when I realize that individuals have little to say? When they resort to personal attacks. Lets stick to the discussion, and lay off the insults please.

Posted by admin on Jan 04, 2010 - 12:29 PMI've lamented that my memory isn't as sharp as it used to be, given stress, lack of sleep, and daily distractions, but this article gave me hope of changing all that. The NY Times health editor and author of the upcoming book, "The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain," explains how to grow new neural connections and refresh old ones, no matter what your age.
Brains in middle age, which, with increased life spans, now stretches from the 40s to late 60s, also get more easily distracted. Start boiling water for pasta, go answer the doorbell and—whoosh—all thoughts of boiling water disappear. Indeed, aging brains, even in the middle years, fall into what(tm)s called the default mode, during which the mind wanders off and begin daydreaming.
Given all this, the question arises, can an old brain learn, and then remember what it learns? Put another way, is this a brain that should be in school?
As it happens, yes. While it•(tm)s tempting to focus on the flaws in older brains, that inducement overlooks how capable they(tm)ve become. Over the past several years, scientists have looked deeper into how brains age and confirmed that they continue to develop through and beyond middle age.
Many longheld views, including the one that 40 percent of brain cells are lost, have been overturned. What is stuffed into your head may not have vanished but has simply been squirreled away in the folds of your neurons.

text: OK. Im trying to fill 200 gals. I first filled the tank to 140 gals of water. Then I put in fert. This is were I get confused. When I add fert the water level moves to close to 160 gals. Now I need to add my 3 way. Should I still use the rate for 140 gals because thats the amount of water I put in the tank?

Wedding Topics
Order of a Catholic wedding Mass
Here is the typical sequence of a Catholic wedding within Mass. You'll find some notes for using this chart, as well as alternate forms of the Order of Celebrating Matrimony (e.g., without Mass), at the bottom of the page.
Order of Celebrating Matrimony Within Mass
Introductory Rites
For more about the entrance procession, see "The wedding procession."
Entrance Rite
The assembly stands. The assembly stands. The entrance song is sung while the priest, ministers (e.g., lectors, altar servers), and the wedding party take their places in the sanctuary (near the altar). The Order for Celebrating Matrimony offers two forms for this. In the First Form (#45-47) the priest and servers in vestiments proper to the liturgy greet the bridal party at the door of the Church then all enter in procession as is customary for a Mass (the ministers go first, followed by the priest, then the bride and bridegroom, possibly proceeded by their parents and the two witnesses). In the Second Form (#48-50) the priest and servers go to the place in the sanctuary prepared for the couple or to his chair, ready to greet the couple when they arrive at their place. In both forms, the priest leads the assembly in the sign of the cross after the entrance song is finished.
The priest greets the assembly, and the people respond.
The Gloria is sung, preferably by the whole assembly. (The Gloria is the hymn that begins, "Glory to God in the highest...") Note that the Penitential Act is omitted (see statement from the USCCB Committee on Divine Worship)
View the text of the four options for the Opening Prayer.
Opening Prayer
The priest invites the assembly to pray, then offers one of several possible prayers for the bride and groom. At the conclusion of the prayer, the assembly is seated for the Liturgy of the Word.
Liturgy of the Word
To view reading options, see "Options for the First Reading."
First Reading
The first reading (from the Old Testament) is proclaimed by the lector. At the conclusion of the reading, the lector says, "The Word of the Lord," and the assembly responds, "Thanks be to God."
To view reading options, see "Options for the Responsorial Psalm."
Responsorial Psalm
The cantor or choir sings a psalm, and the assembly sings the response.
To view reading options, see "Options for the Second Reading."
Second Reading
The second reading (from a book of the New Testament other than the Gospel) is proclaimed by the lector. At the conclusion of the reading, the lector says, "The Word of the Lord," and the assembly responds, "Thanks be to God."
To view options for the Gospel Acclamation, see "Alleluia Verse and Verse Before the Gospel."
Gospel Acclamation
The assembly stands. A cantor leads the assembly in singing the Gospel Acclamation, usually the Alleluia (except during Lent, when another acclamation is used).
To view reading options, see "Options for the Gospel Reading."
The priest (or deacon) proclaims the Gospel. At the conclusion, he says, "The Gospel of the Lord," and the assembly responds, "Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ." The assembly sits.
The priest (or deacon) offers a homily drawn from the Scripture readings. According to The Order of Celebrating Matrimony, the presider "uses the sacred text to expound the mystery of Christian Marriage, the dignity of conjugal love, the grace of the Sacrament and the responsibilities of married people, keeping in mind, however, the circumstances of this particular marriage" (#91).
The Celebration of Matrimony
Follow this link for the complete text of The Order of the Celebration of Matrimony.
Address and Statement of Intentions
All stand, including the bride and groom and witnesses. The priest asks the couple questions to state their intentions about their freedom of choice, fidelity to each other, and the acceptance and upbringing of children (unless the couple are beyond the child-bearing years). The bride and groom respond to each question separately "I have" or "I am."
View the text of the consent and exchange of vows.
For more information on the vows, see "Catholic Wedding Vows" and "Can we write our own vows?"
Exchange of Consent
The presider invites the couple to declare their consent to be married, which they do by stating their marriage vows. The Order of Celebrating Matrimony offers several different options for the vows. The presider affirms the reception of the consent then leads the assembly in an acclamation which may be sung.
View the text of the blessing and giving of rings.
Blessing and Giving of Rings
The presider blesses the wedding rings through prayer and the sprinkling of holy water. The husband places his wife's ring on her finger, and the wife places her husband's ring on his finger. The Order of Celebrating Matrimony provides options for the blessing of the rings as well as the exchange of arras (coins) according to local custom. While not specifed in the ritual text, local custom may include the exchange of a kiss.
Profession of Faith
If the wedding occurs on a Sunday or a solemnity, the assembly recites the Creed ("I believe in one God. . .").
For more information, see "The Universal Prayer (general intercessions) at a Catholic wedding."
The Universal Prayer
The Universal Prayer, sometimes referred to as the Prayer of the Faithful or General Intercessions, is read by a lector, cantor, or another designated person. The reader usually offers each intercession ("For ..., we pray to the Lord.") and the assembly responds with an appropriate response, such as, "Lord, hear our prayer." The Creed may also be said, especially if celebrated within a Sunday liturgy
Liturgy of the Eucharist
View the text of the three options for the Prayer Over the Gifts.
Presentation and Preparation of the Gifts
The assembly sits and sings the Offertory Song while the altar is prepared and the gifts of bread and wine are brought to the altar. According to The Order of Celebrating Matrimony the bride and groom may bring these gifts forward. When the priest says, "Pray, brethren (brothers and sisters), that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father," the assembly stands.
Eucharistic Prayer
The priest prays the Eucharistic prayer (parts of which he may sing). The Roman Missal provides four options for this prayer. During the Eucharistic prayer, the assembly offers three acclamations, which are usually sung:
(after singing the Sanctus)
Sanctus ("Holy, Holy")
Memorial Acclamation
Great Amen
Communion Rite
The Lord's Prayer
The assembly prays or sings together the Lord's Prayer (the Our Father).
View the text of options for the Nuptial Blessing.
Nuptial Blessing
The couple kneels at their place or approaches the altar where the preist faces them . the priest invites all present to join in silent prayer for the couple then extends his hands over the bride and groom and offers the blessing. The Order of Celebrating Matrimony provides options for the nuptial blessing, including beginning with the blessing and placing of the lazo (veil) if customary.
Sign of Peace
The presider invites the assembly to offer one another a sign of peace. The newly married couple and people in the assembly exchange a sign of peace (a handshake or kiss, usually accompanied by the words, "Peace be with you") with those immediately around them.
(after singing the "Lamb of God")
Lamb of God
The priest breaks the host (Eucharistic bread) while the assembly sings the "Lamb of God." The assembly usually kneels when the song concludes.
For information about who may receive communion, see "Can someone who is not Catholic receive communion?"
The priest (often with the help of Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion) distributes the Body and Blood fo Christ to Catholics in the assembly, beginning with the newly married couple. An appropriate song is usually sung as the assembly proceeds to the altar for communion.
Concluding Rite
View the text of the four options for the Blessing.
The presider prays a solemn blessing over the married couple and the whole assembly. All participate in the blessing by repeatedly responding, "Amen." This blessing may be sung. The ritual text indicates the witnesses may sign the marriage license in front of the assembly, though never with the license on the altar.
As with any Mass, the presider dismisses the assembly with an exchange like "Go in peace to glorify the Lord with your life" to which all gathered respond "Thanks be to God."
A recessional, or closing procession, is a natural way to conclude the eremony. Though it is not specified in The Order of Celebrating Matrimony, the couple, the bridal party, the ministers, and the presider process out of the church, usually accompanied by a festive song or instrumental music. Music suggetions for the wedding procession offer suitable options. Depending on local custom, the priest may invite the couple to exchange a kiss before leaving the sanctuary.

Statement from the USCCB Committee on Divine Worship:
"In the Roman Missal, Third Edition, the rubrics call for the Gloria more frequently than before.
[Most Ritual Masses now] prescribe the Gloria. These Masses are all treated as if they were Feasts, and the Gloria is used for them even when celebrated during Advent or Lent. Thus, for example, Masses for Confirmation, Holy Orders, or Marriage would include the Gloria, even when they occur during Advent or Lent. (It should be noted, though, that Ritual Masses are prohibited on Sundays of Advent and Lent.)"

ROCK HILL Business leaders and residents have spoken up about the need to revive Rock Hills Cherry Road, and city leaders say theyre listening.
Many Cherry Road business owners say they want the same economic development attention that other areas of the city get, such as Rock Hills downtown and its business parks.
Development on Cherry Road is challenged by buildings dating back to the 1950s and retail areas with more asphalt than needed but not enough landscaping. Also, there are a lot of commercial uses that dont meet the citys current zoning regulations.
Rock Hill planners have spent the last few months meeting with neighbors and businesses along Cherry Road between the newly-developed Riverwalk area on the Catawba River and Heckle Boulevard.
City staff members have divided the five-mile thoroughfare into seven sections for study. Rock Hill City Council members have already heard feedback from three of the seven areas.
Late last month, several council members said theyd support a Cherry Road revitalization strategy. Among the ideas being discussed are incentives for businesses to locate or expand and making changes to zoning regulations. No specific proposals have been developed yet.
With Dave Lyle Boulevard flourishing and Rock Hill developing a plan to revive downtown, some people feel as though development is moving away from Cherry Road, Councilwoman Kathy Pender said during a March meeting that focused on Cherry Road redevelopment.
The time staff members spent asking residents and businesses what they need and want, Pender said, is overdue and greatly appreciated.
Mayor Doug Echols suggested at the meeting that city officials could be proactive in the revitalization by offering incentives to businesses who invest in improving the look of their stores.
Its a slow process to wait for people to have that a-ha moment themselves, he said.
Council members did not take a vote on Cherry Road plans during the meeting.
Keep it from a downward spiral
Before development along Dave Lyle Boulevard, Celanese Road and in the downtown area, Cherry Road was Rock Hills shopping destination.
I remember 25 years ago when Cherry was still the address, said Will Whitley, partner with Charlotte-based New South Properties.
His company owns the North East Plaza Shopping Center at the corner of Anderson Road and Cherry Road, where stores like Verizon Wireless, Luigis Pizza and Spaghetti House and others have set up shop.
About six years ago, the company bought the 18 acre shopping center–once the home of Bi-Lo before it moved across the street.Since 2007, New South Properties has invested about $10 million into the center, Whitley said, giving it a new roof, parking lot, landscaping and a fresh paint job.
The company has paid for all of it without incentives, he said.
The city of Rock Hills business permit process and other development services have been easy to navigate, Whitley said, but renewed attention along Cherry Road and some real estate tax incentives would go a long way in restoring the corridor.
That would be really helpful when youre trying to turn an area around and keep it from a downward spiral, he said.
Cherry Road is still thriving despite competition from political forces moving economic development to the south, Whitley said.
Im a believer in Cherry Road–great traffic, great history, he said.
Making Cherry Road part of college town
Three miles away from Whitleys plaza is another believer in Cherry Road: Charlie Ruffalo, owner of Substation II in front of Winthrop University.
Ruffalo, who has owned the restaurant on Cherry Road for about 27 years, wants to invest in an outdoor patio for customers.
His plan to expand seating could benefit from an idea city leaders are tossing around concerning zoning rules and building regulations.
Part of a Cherry Road revitalization strategy could include changes to zoning requirements, making it easier for businesses to expand or re-fit spaces that are close to sidewalks and nearby properties.
Developing on Cherry Road, Meyer said, is not like starting from scratch and some exceptions to rules may be needed to help businesses thrive.
A new patio at Substation II could cost between $5,000 and $8,000, Ruffalo said.
The patio would help build a cafe-friendly environment, he said, which is a goal of Rock Hill and Winthrops plan to bolster a college town atmosphere.
Like some other business owners, Ruffalo says incentives programs for new or existing stores on Cherry Road could be a shot in the arm for investment. They also could help Cherry Road businesses thrive.
"Give us the incentives you're giving Old Town to do things to make a pedestrian and cafe-friendly (area), he said.
Rock Hills Downtown Now program helps new businesses by providing paid rent rebates, improvements to downtown buildings and business license fee reimbursements. The area often is called Old Town.Immediately after the citys Cherry Road strategy meeting in March, city council members approved giving growth management incentives to three downtown businesses and to a company moving into its Riverwalk business park.
Rock Hill will reimburse Physicians Choice Laboratory Services $89,192 in impact and building permit fees for moving into Riverwalk. Over the next five years, the company plans to invest $24 million and bring in 364 new jobs.
The city is also reimbursing a building permit fee for downtowns Millstone Pizza restaurant, which opened earlier this year in the Old Town Market Hall, owned by Main 7 LLC.
The market halls developer and the owner of a neighboring building on Caldwell Street have spent a total of about $500,000 to renovate their space.
The city council approved reimbursing the building owners $11,142 in fees paid to the city. Millstone Pizza, which has created 20 new jobs in downtown, will be reimbursed $1,288 in fees.
Some council members questioned the incentives, saying during a March city council meeting that they didnt know more reimbursements would be made to the downtown businesses.
Last year, the council approved paying $39,000 toward the pizza restaurants rent over the next five years and voted to set aside about $775,000 for the Old Town Market Hall development.
Councilman Osbey Roddey asked if Marchs incentives for downtown would be the last round of money the council would be asked to spend on the buildings. Rock Hills Economic Development Director Stephen Turner said yes.
Mayor Pro-Tem John Black questioned how investors find out about incentives because Marchs applications for growth management incentives were the first four requests since 2010.
Any new business making investments in downtown can apply for the incentives, Turner said. Until recently, he said, there have been no major renovations or investments in downtown since 2010.
It wasnt possible to know the dollar amount last year because the growth management incentives package is a reimbursement, Pender said.
Councilman Kevin Sutton said the citys spending on the downtown project was like a never ending cycle.
Sutton cast the lone dissenting vote to the incentives for downtown and voted unanimously with the rest of the council on the Physicians Choice reimbursement.
His no vote wasnt against the downtown businesses, Sutton said, but against the fact that the council wasnt told about the predicted expense last year.
As a council, we cant get a deal–think weve got a deal–and six months later find out theres five or six thousand more dollars, he said after the meeting.
Its just like this project…has been an ongoing incentives flowing out. And theres got to be a fairness issue. I mean, there are other businesses in town, other people downtown. You know, when do you put too much emphasis on one small project?
The push for more development on Dave Lyle Boulevard and in downtown has been successful, Whitley said, but Cherry Road has a lot to offer.
The roads traffic count and connecting streets to another major commercial hub–Celanese Road–give Cherry Road the potential to resurrect as a regional shopping destination, he said.
Riverview Road, particularly, with its proximity to Riverwalk, could be a prime spot for the city to start with incentives, Whitley said. Riverwalk includes a walking trail; plans call for a large residential and commercial development project.
Doing something to draw development in such as a multi-family complex, he said, could freshen up and beautify that area.

Fedor Emelianenko. Photo by Tracy Lee/CombatLifestyle.com.
Differing reports issued today are insinuating that longtime heavyweight king Fedor Emelianenko may or may not be close to a deal that would finally land him inside the confines of the UFC.
Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday afternoon that Emelianenko's management team and the UFC were finalizing a contract that would reportedly be announced as early as this coming Friday. However, Sports Illustrated's Josh Gross is now quoting M-1 Global's Apy Echteld as dismissing Pugmire's story as "inaccurate".
The LA Times report quoted an anonymous source close to the contract talks, but not affiliated with the UFC, as saying that negotiations between the two sides were "very civil", a stark contrast to previously reported meetings between Dana White and Vadim Finkelchtein which produced a war of words between them.
Last week, White announced on a charity radiothon for Las Vegas' ESPN 1100 that the UFC would be holding a press conference on July 31 to announce a variety of new ventures that have likely come as a result of the collapse of Affliction Entertainment.
Meanwhile, Emelianenko will be holding a press conference of his own tomorrow afternoon in Anaheim, California, marking the first time that the former PRIDE heavyweight champion will speak to the media since Affliction scrapped its "Trilogy" event over the weekend.
"Since the cancellation, there has been a great deal of speculation regarding Fedor and M-1," Finkelchtein said in a press release sent out this morning. "On Wednesday, the media and fans will be able to hear what's going on with Fedor from the man himself."

It was an excellent turn out in Houston for the Berry Kids through Tasti D -Lite in Houston. The fundraiser that occurred on July 22, was implemented to help the Berry Kids through a very turbulent time in their lives and the monies that were raised were highly appreciated. The Berry children lost both of their parents in a car accident on July 2. They have gone through a very difficult time, and the help of the community assists them in getting through the days just a little bit better.
Aaron Webster is the Houston franchise owner of the Tasti D – Lite dessert shop. He was very pleased with the turn out and the generosity of the customers. The fundraiser was held at three different locations in the Houston area. They were the The Galleria, 1707 Post Oak Blvd Highland Village,.919 Milam St. and 3974 Westheimer Rd; Downtown.
The donations were matched $3 for every $1 that was donated. People could donate at the stores and they did so in an amazing fashion and their efforts generated a grand total of $35,000 that was raised to be donated to the Joshua and Robin Berry Children's Trust. When they came in to get their desserts for the night and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of the dessert shop, they could contribute as they wished. Some people would put in $1 and others would put in more. Haidar Barbouti was one of the matching donors for the event. Since each dollar was matched with $3 it raised the Berry children $35,000. It was an amazing fundraising event for the children, and they appreciate all the generosity that people showed to them.
The Joshua and Robin Berry Children's Trust was set up to help with the expenses for the Berry children that are currently using wheel chairs. They were injured in a car accident that occurred on July 2. When the parents, Robin Perlo Berry and Joshua Berry were traveling home from a vacation in Colorado, there was a terrible accident in which they were both killed. This occurred in Fort Stockton, TX. All three of the children, Peter, 9, Aaron, 8 and Willa, 6 were all injured in the car accident and both of the boys have spinal injuries. They both need to use wheel chairs to get around in, so the donations are so important for them.
The people in Houston showed a lot of community essence when they contributed to the fund. Collecting the monies surpassed what was expected and all that were involved are deeply grateful to the generosity haidarbarbouti.orgmunity and the matching donors.

The press release from ESO compares a red giant to tiramisu—because, as Luca Pasquini puts it, "There is cocoa powder only on the top!" Hmmm.
(The cocoa powder analogy has to do with the distribution of heavy elements in stars with planets. We know that extrasolar planets are preferentially seen around stars with high iron content, but do the planets form around stars with a lot of iron distributed throughout, or do planets sprinkle iron, cocoa-like, on the stars' surfaces?)
The image above does a bang-up job, I must say. It possesses clarity, first and foremost, comparing apples to apples and balancing the diagrammatic and the photorealistic with aplomb. I like the clear labels (with caveats to be addressed below), and the two stars even show limb darkening. Most especially, I must express my deepest appreciation for the inclusion of a small figure (in the lower right) to communicate scale! Yes! Fantastic! Super! Well done!
I would not go so far as to suggest that the diagram is flawless in its execution, however. Aside from a slight irrelevance to the topic at hand, the main liability I can detect is the inconsistency between the left- and right-hand images: "radiative zone" gets labelled only on the left, while "burning shell" appears on the right. Something of a fumble in the home stretch…

Fans mourning demise of Ikea shelving unit Expedit
Published Tuesday, February 25, 2014 7:45AM EST
Last Updated Wednesday, February 26, 2014 4:09PM EST
It has been the design staple of thousands of homes and offices all over the world, and now it seems consumers everywhere are mourning the demise of Ikea's iconic shelving system the Expedit.
The minimalistic modular units are set to be replaced by the Kallax, a design which the Swedish brand insists is more durable and child-friendly. The replacement product will hit the U.S. market this April.
However it seems long-term fans aren't yet ready to let go, with a 'Save Expedit' Facebook page already attracting over 24,000 likes. Users have flocked to the page to upload photos of their own Expedit-dominated interiors.
The modular design, available from a single cube to a wall grid of 25 cubes, is one of Ikea's most recognizable products. It can be used as a room divider and is well suited to storing clothes, books and -- crucially -- vinyl records.
"We've been amazed to see the passion consumers have for Expedit, and the many ways they are using this product in their homes and businesses," said Tim Allison, Sales Leader, Store and Organize, IKEA U.S.
"By adding these improvements both in terms of quality and design, we hope to continue to exceed our customers' expectations, and that more people will enjoy Kallax for many more years to come."
According to Ikea, Kallax fits all existing storage baskets and boxes and features the added advantages of a scratch-resistant surface and rounded corners. Whether fans accept this new generation of storage systems, however, remains to be seen.
