Here is a copy of the letter on Facebook.
FreedomWorks has the story.
The purge of truly limited-government activists from the Republican Party has reached new lows, as one of Wisconsin's top activists found out.
Todd Welch, Chairman of the Wisconsin Campaign for Liberty and constitutional activist, has been "declined" membership in the Republican Party of Dunn County in Wisconsin and his dues check returned. His crime? Holding the Party accountable to its rhetoric and promises.
Here is the contact information for the Dunn County GOP. Perhaps you would like to let them know what you think of their Politburo like purges.

Or it could be that the CFL Wisconsin Facebook page was indulging in Sandy Hook conspiracy theories, which is why I left the group. The county party can't stop people from calling themselves or affiliating who they wish but they can control who they as a group can deal with. I don't know why you would wish them ill for acting logically from a political standpoint.
Appears that the difference between the Imperial/Official 'Left' and 'Right' grows smaller by the day.

Remember that this is, after all, the party that would've put Harriet Miers on SCOTUS, had not grass-roots folks held their feet to the fire…

Have we forgotten the wisdom of our Founding Fathers? We should not put our confidence in the state or parties. The GOP is a coalition, not some disciplined army, and it shouldn't stigma whistleblowers and those who call the party to account for conservative principles. Mr. Welch is right. We've put too much misplaced confidence in the GOP for too long, and failed to hold our elected leaders and their political appointees accountable.
"It would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights; that confidence is every where the parent of despotism; free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence; it is jealousy, and not confidence, which prescribes limited constitutions to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power; that our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no farther, our confidence may go; and let the honest advocate of confidence read the Alien and Sedition Acts, and say if the Constitution has not been wise in fixing limits to the government it created, and whether we should be wise in destroying those limits; let him say what the government is, if it be not a tyranny, which the men of our choice have conferred on the President, and the President of our choice has assented to and accepted, over the friendly strangers, to whom the mild spirit of our country and its laws had pledged hospitality and protection; that the men of our choice have more respected the bare suspicions of the President than the solid rights of innocence, the claims of justification, the sacred force of truth, and the forms and substance of law and justice. In questions of power, then, let no more be said of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."
–Thomas Jefferson, From the Kentucky Resolution of 1798, from: Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, vol. 4, p. 543 (1907)
libertarians are useless
Washington's Farewell
I'm tired of fake conservative Republicans. The only real conservatives are noninterventionist constitutionalists like Ron Paul.
The Republican Party is quite literally afraid of real conservatism.
The Dunn County Republican Party has dunn forfeited its right to consider itself part of the opposition. It is now officially part of the machine.

From Cmcl
Looking for project partners? Want to discuss ideas? Here's your place.
Looking for at least one Partner
We have two conflicting ideas in our team and I am looking if anyone (at least one person to form a group of two, if not three) is interested to switch teams in the last minute to work with me on verification of software transactional memory, focused on the Rochester STM (RSTM). I will briefly describe what people have already done and then describe what can be done in this project.
Verification of safety (strict serializability, abort consistency), liveness (live-lock free, etc.)
Earlier Work
One paper has taken old STMs like DSTM, TL2 where they could reduce the problem of verifying serializability for an arbitrary number of threads with arbitrary number of shared variables to that of 2 threads with 2 shared variables from which they could successfully build a transition system and verify. Two other papers took other STMs (SigTM and also TL2) and verified only a subset of the problem - 2 threads, each with 1 transaction with at most 3 reads/writes to shared variables and no non-transactional operations. There were similar results for liveness properties. No one explored RSTM till now.
What can be done
To start off, we can consider the same small subset of 2 threads, each with 1 transaction with at most 3 reads/writes to shared variables and no non-transactional operations which helps us bound everything and build a transition system and verify safety properties - this will become the first model checking of RSTM ever. If we get some great ideas, we can also extend it to more number of threads - if we cannot generalize to arbitrary number of threads, we can at least go upto 8 or 16 which is good enough I believe.
There is a much more interesting idea on the liveness side. As RSTM only guarantees live-lock freedom "practically", we might study the patterns of transactions for some benchmarks and prove a bound on the probability of live-lock freedom using "statistical model checking" (SMC). SMC works by checking the liveness on simulation traces (I have just built such a tool for my research) and infers the probability using hypothesis testing.

Idea discussion
- Scan through the papers at this year's SOSP (2009) and mine for further work or brokenness!
- RDMA meets trusted computing meets client/server function partitioning
- Many topics in multicore
- Operating system support for multicore - is barrelfish right? wrong?
- Cache management in multicore systems - see Silas @ MIT work, talk to dga for more info.
- How to use cores? How to allocate OS functionality across cores? (See SOSP 2009 paper on RouteBricks to see an example of this idea applied to building a high-performance router on a modern multicore architecture)
- How to use cores to improve X, for X in (security, reliability, ease of use, latency hiding, usability)
- Operating system and distributed system support for robotics: The Intel research robot "Herb" faces a design challenge: How much computing to use on-board, how much to place offboard accessible via wireless. How to balance the placement of function between these two areas. (Warning: dga knows nothing about robots; project in consultation with Sidd at Intel.)
- Systems energy management in the Intel robot (as above)
- Error reporting in the Perspectives system for SSL certificate verification. How can the system detect, monitor, diagnose, and report potential SSL attacks?
- Bug mining: Find commits to repositories that appear to change off-by-one or similar errors; search for similar/same changes in other repositories to automatically detect bugs in large sets of code.
- Create a citeseer-like system running on the FAWN cluster (fast array of wimpy nodes -- energy efficient cluster architecture on wimpy embedded systems)
- Create and evaluate a general purpose interface for reporting transmit delay of packets sent via the network (useful for NTP, network monitoring, etc.).
- Generalized RDMA without trust: Efficient packet matching and dispatching code into the device (state machine? etc.; dga has some ideas) for being able to offload protocols to the NIC without extending full trust.
- Intrusion detection / virus scanning programs often need to interpose or intercept data that "belongs" to the browser (html, activex, etc.). Generic mechanism for letting / forcing content-downloading/browsing programs to interpose on these things? (Requires windows experience, likely.); idea: David Brumley
- Better badder MapReduce / Dryad improvements for cluster data analytics.
- Creating a benchmark for modern data-intensive workloads (in consultation with industry).

The Phoenix Suns used their first round pick, number five overall, to draft Alex Len out of Maryland. The Suns knew about Len's surgery in early May to support a partial stress fracture in his left ankle. Well now he has had surgery to repair a stress fracture in his right ankle. Before having the right ankle surgery, it was said that Len's recovery time would span somewhere between four and six months. But the Phoenix Suns are keeping optimistic, and strongly believe Len will be ready before the 2013 season goes underway.
Lon Babby, the Suns President of Basketball Oerations said this on the health of the 7-foot-1 center,
As a precautionary measure, our medical staff determined that it would be prudent to perform surgery on Alex Len's right ankle at this time. That surgery was successfully completed this morning. As part of a routine evaluation, our medical team identified the very beginnings of a stress fracture in Alex's right ankle even though Alex was entirely asymptomatic. We expect him to be available to begin the season.
His optimism is high, but there will be some pressure not only on Babby, but especially Len to return come the start of the regular season. There will be added pressure on the whole team around that time and there will be critics who may think that this surgery could have waited if it seems like it is going to be detrimental to the team at the beginning of the season.

I am looking forward to a nice message from the lady always.
Excitement of Christmas and New Year in Japan is very beautiful.
Seems not possibly have been appreciated by the Japanese people an overview of the festival of Halloween in the United States and Europe.
Destruction caused by this hurricane we are very worried.
I pray to God for the American people.

With the work ethic that is shown by the prospects attending the 2011 Boston Bruins Development Camp, it is easy to forget that most of the players are only in their late teens and early twenties. However, if you log onto Twitter, you will find that the prospects are part of a growing number of young athletes that use the social media site as a way of connecting with friends, family, and fans.
Both Ryan Button and Zach Trotman have Twitter accounts. However, the most avid Twitter user out of the group would have to be top Boston Bruin's prospect Jared Knight. Knight is one of the best young forwards in the Bruins organization; and he is also a favorite among Bruins fans on Twitter.
"For me its great because you get to interact with the fans," said Knight, "and even with Facebook you can't really interact with them, Twitter is new and I love it."
"I really like reading what they have to say," said 16-year-old Bruins fan Alyssa. "I follow Tyler Seguin's Twitter, but I think the prospects are better at talking with the fans and tweeting more. Ryan Button is pretty funny, like when he was tweeting about the Stanley Cup run. Jared is probably my favorite Bruin on there. You get to see a different side to the players that you don't see when watching a game. It's really cool."
And it's not just the over one-thousand followers that Knight has on Twitter who like reading what the young Providence Bruins star has to say, he seems to like it just as much as his fans do.
"I'm actually addicted," joked Knight after practice, "I wake up in the morning and see who has tweeted me and check how many followers I have, so it's really cool."
Ryan Button is another Providence Bruin who seems to have a growing fan base, but it seems as though Knight might have him beaten, at least when it comes to the number of followers and tweets he has on the social media site.
"Ryan [Button] doesn't use his much," explained Knight with a smile, "I told him to [use it more], but he doesn't."
From the sounds of it, defenseman Zach Trotman could also use a little help when it comes to getting more followers. "I tweet a little bit, but there aren't so many fans on there yet. There's a couple of guys that are pretty big into it, but I'm not there yet."
Twitter is also a reminder to the fans that even though these prospects are all business on the ice, off of it they are still like to enjoy themselves in some friendly competition. Knight tweeted after day two of camp was over, telling the fans a little bit more about the bonding that goes on among the prospects: "Paintballing, gotta get my game face on, don't want @buttsy78 [Ryan Button] sniping me."
For the talented prospects that the Bruins have this year, the drive to be the best doesn't stop when they leave the ice, even if it is just for a game of paintball, and that is exactly what it takes to win over the fans and followers in Boston.
You can follow these prospects on Twitter: Jared Knight @Jknight97, Ryan Button @buttsy78, Zach Trotman @Ztrotman4

It's drizzling out, and people are shuffling down Irving Avenue with scrunched faces and hunched shoulders, trying to keep the wind from blowing the rain down their necks. In front of one building, though, is a piece of sidewalk the rain seems to have forgotten. A wide oval of bone-dry cement is an odd sight right now — you put your hand out to make sure it's still raining. It is. What's this about? And then you notice the storefront, a cheerful cream-colored expanse of old-looking wood and narrow windows. There's a warm glow inside.
This is where you'll find Charlie Verde, exhausted after six months of nonstop labor to transform his former construction firm's office into Verde Coal Oven, an intimate Sicilian eatery. Antique doors, windows, and trims abound, salvaged from an old house before it was demolished and installed here seamlessly. The interior is full of Carrara marble, patinaed wood, and seemingly random decorations like needlepoint saints and candelabra. They are random. "Each one of these things were given to me by family and friends," said the gregarious Verde.
Charlie Verde, born in Sicily, moved to Bushwick when he was 9. Local kids made fun of him because he couldn't speak English. But adversity just made him work harder, he says. Now he has a home on Long Island with a wife and three children, a construction business based in Bushwick, and a handful of properties in the area. He's owned them for several years, all within blocks of this storefront. His plans for them are material for future stories.
Back to the sidewalk: it is directly above a gigantic coal-fired oven. The intense heat keeps even rain from wetting the pavement. The oven was built in 1905, it's 18 feet deep, and it heats up to 1000F. "Actually, it can go higher, but shouldn't," Verde said, pointing to a shattered thermometer. There aren't exactly an abundance of coal-oven experts in the city, so trial and error is the only way to get the process down.
There are only seven of these ovens left in the city that work, according to Verde. Building new ones is forbidden, but existing ones can still be used. Verde spent thousands refurbishing the old stone and brick beast, including his own labor; he's a bricklayer by trade. Dozens of pizzas and hundreds of loaves of bread can be baked at once. Pillowy anise cookies and biscotti also come out of the oven. "Crazy Carmine," another Sicily native and Bushwick local, makes the pizza; Peter the Hungarian baker cranks out the breads, including round loaves of old-fashioned Italian white. All of this is fished out of the enormous oven's maw with wooden peels upwards of 22 feet long.
During the day, the shop will sell Italian food items like dried pasta, imported canned tomatoes, sauces, olive oil, cheese, and cured meats. On a recent weekday evening, a couple came in, bought two sodas, and left.
But at night, Verde hopes to attract locals to dine in — and it's working. He's been overwhelmed in just the last two weeks with customers filling his dining room by word of mouth. The restaurant serves, in addition to pizza, a range of Sicilian appetizers like caponata.
The pizzas are about 10 inches across, simply topped, lightly salted, with an ultra-thin crispy-crackery crust. The sauce is pure San Marzano tomatoes and locally grown basil. It's not a feast, but it's honest food, and at $7-15 you can get all you like. Sicilian wines and Italian beers will be on offer when the license comes in, but for now get a short espresso after dinner.
On your way out, shake hands with Charlie and grab a ciabatta to go. It'll set you back about $3 and it stays good for two days.

The size of the room can easily occupy 5 people! Hot breakfast is my favor too.
Really great value for money...All facilities were really good...staff was friendly and helpful. Location to visit newyork is excellent.
Very poor wifi in the room. Shuttle quality in terms of seats comfort and bus comfort need big time Improvement.
To be honest, there was nothing good about this place. But If try hard, the staff was somewhat friendly
Very dirty, smelly, miserable location. This place really ruined the trip. Never knew Holiday Inn can go down to this level. From now on I need to either skip holiday inn or be very careful in selecting one.
Rooms are great, but a safe box will make it better
the check-out
one broken elevator, and one partially functional. difficult accessibility from highway, low ceilings in corridors, small rooms etc.etc,etc.....
- Very friendly and helpfull staff, expecially the lady from the breakfastroom Mila!
Proximity to NY. Great beds and clean room. Good restaurants close by
Staff don't smile.
Location, free parking, shuttle pick up times and drop off to and from the hotel was very convenient. Breakfast was very good and lots of selection. Hotel Staff were very helpful.
shuttle avail to nyc
worst ever AC fillter not clean,spread black debris in the room painting doors during your stay,harmful for your healthand your kids health Non courteous staff and Aminstration Badly Run
The cleanliness
The wifi was inconsistent would go in and out
rooms are spacious and comfortable. I. just did not like paying for trips to NY on the shuttle. one shuttle driver can use some good mannerism classes in dealing with clients. besides that, the hotel stay was good. No subways close by so 7 $ shuttle per trip is only means of travelling to NY.
The pool was good
The staff was rude the rooms not clean
free parking was great
didn't have a bar so you could relax
The breakfast and the location.
The tv reception was very poor since they were experiencing problems with the satellite company.
The best comfortable beds ,breakfast very good .all staff were very helpful and very efficient .rooms very clean .great place to stay while visiting NY ,shuttle service was great ,
The staff at the reception is absolutely rude with no basic manners...they are unprofessional people .the hotwl is just average to bear the attitude of the staff there.and wld neva go back there..not worth it
Horrible Malsueno very un professional staff you feel like in an Indian resturant run by unqualified Indians ,half of them do not speak English esp room service,they dont understand signs even No shower in the Swimming pool I had to complain to Holiday Inn company Adminstration office for the lack of courtesy with the guests and the unprofessional attitude of the Manager Hina Vakharia and her superior Holliday Inn should review this facility ,put the operation adminstration on probabtion or change it for the better if it cares for its reputation, loyality of its Clients
The closeness to the Lincoln Tunnel.the breakfast, the pillows were very comfy. Shuttle to Times Square , the staff was pleasant and the hotel was very clean. Would stay again.
The area of the hotel was a bit to be desired , very industrial, not much to do around the hotel, pool was close for my visit would have been nice.
clean rooms, very comfortable beds, location to the city is great.
Excellent location with good shuttle service to 42nd st, which cost $12 for a round trip. Parking is for free!
Bad odor in the rooms and the corridors
I like that there are rooms with two beds and a sofa bed. And also the breakfast that is included with your stay.
I didn't like that our room had a smell to it that came out of the A/C vents. And the WiFi did not work at all.
a decent stay for short duration. The hotel is run by Indian employees who were friendly and helpful.
The location was far from airport or New York attractions- and the taxi services they suggested costed upto 120 $, which we had not budgeted for.

Now they need to fix winning the same item and loot trading/selling. I was in an LFR group yesterday with several members of Premonition who were rolling on items for eachother (elemental shaman wins ago trinket and trades to rogue, etc). I said I thought top guilds got the message about gaming the LFR loot system. Guy says nope we're still doing it. Report me and I'll just get a 3 day ban. Classy.

Anonymous: Taking a Byte out of Crime
Our Opinion/ The real cost of Internet freedoms for all
By Cindy Gomez-Schempp
Recently HPR blacked out its cover to make people aware of the losses of Internet freedom looming from proposed censorship laws like SOPA and PIPA. We have since learned that these laws that would curtail our freedoms of information and free speech were patterned after an international treaty that many countries, including the U.S., have already singed on to. The real threat, an international treaty called ACTA, has become more well known because of an online activist group of famous (or infamous, depending on who you talk to) hackers. Anonymous and their subgroups, numbering in the hundreds of thousands worldwide, are learning more every day about ACTA, and the threat it - -and other laws- - pose to our free speech, our freedom from persecution, unwarranted searches and seizures, and our communication rights. To find out more visit: http://tiny.cc/ACTAinfo
This week at HPR we want to introduce you to Anonymous. The group Anonymous has recently taken online activism to new heights—disabling and hacking into many corporate and government sites in protest of laws like SOPA and PIPA and in retaliation for government and corporate censorship or curtailment of Internet freedoms. After Anonymous joined the fight to inform Americans about SOPA and PIPA—efforts which resulted in a massive outpouring of dissent that stopped congress in its tracks. Although allegations of copyright infringement were only logged against some of the owners and a fraction of the users, the U.S. government took down Megauploads and seized all the real and digital property of the owners and its millions of members. Anonymous has been retaliating ever since. Websites are being hacked and shut down everyday. Check out one of Anonymous latest exploits in taking down Monsanto's website here: http://tiny.cc/TangoDWN
Who and what Anonymous is should matter to every single person. If you have never heard of or felt the effects of Anonymous, you will soon. The way in which laws and justice are applied online and in the real world, are being turned on their ear by Anonymous. The ramifications to your own personal freedoms are immense. Here's your primer for what is already in full force and heading our way.
Before we tell you who Anonymous is, you should first know that Anonymous is at war and the fighting is spilling out of the digital world, and into our daily lives. They have deployed attacks against governments, corporations, politicians, counter-hacker groups and even Scientology using website crashes, Google bombs, and netbots. Internet wars have Google bombs, but they also have human casualties. Anonymous have been described as Hactivists, Internet heroes, and Terrorists. In 2011, the FBI issued a statement that engaging in DDOS (Directed Denial of Service) attacks is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. A DDOS attack, as simply put as possible, is the equivalent of everyone calling their Senator's office and overloading their phone system or making it crash. In the Internet, this type of protest activism is now illegal. Around the world, children as young as 15 are being arrested for participating with Anonymous. One doesn't need to be a high powered hacker, merely an online user, to participate.
Anyone can be Anonymous. Something as simple as leaving an Anonymous comment on a discussion board or giving someone remote access to a computer is Anonymous. Either one can now land you in jail. Anonymous has been described as a group of faceless computer nerds and hackers that carry out their own brand of vigilante justice by flexing their internet muscles. In the prankster category, Anonymous has taken responsibility for hacking into the Australian Prime Minister's site and posting pornography during "Operation Titstorm," an attack targeting the Australian government in opposition to Internet censorship laws proposed in 2010. But, on the more aggressive end of the spectrum, Anonymous has also participated in acts of such geopolitical importance as their instrumental support during the Arab Spring and subsequent toppling of numerous Middle Eastern governments. Fighting for freedom of information, Anons support Wikileaks and launched a massive attack against PayPal, Mastercard, and others following the close of the site. Under the same authority, the recent closure of the MegaUpload site resulted in an attack by Anons and closure of sites such as Motion Picture Association of America, U.S. Copyright Office, Universal Music, and many others. To see a full list, go to anonops.blogspot.com.
Anonymous' are a collective; a leaderless organization operating with complete anonymity with a loose framework of agreed upon principles mostly having to do with internet and free speech rights. If you have ever seen the Guy Fawkes masks recently made popular by the movie V for Vendetta that are worn by some Occupy protesters these days, you know what Anonymous members wear when they are in public. Their origins grew out of a collective mission of internet camaraderie but today have morphed into activism promoting internet freedom and freedom of speech in general. Many see them as a bunch of innocuous pranksters, but with the recent attacks on U.S. government websites, corporations and their opposition to SOPA and PIPA, Anonymous is redefining their image. The news reports and bloggers call members of the Anonymous collective hacktivists, freedom fighters, and Internet bad boys. But the stakes are getting ever higher for this worldwide collective of Anonymous members and enthusiasts.
Since 2008, protestors and group members involved in Internet protest activities, as well as real world protests in association with Anon groups, have been attacked. A teenager in the UK was served a court summons after police confiscating his protest sign for using the word "cult" when referring to Scientologist. In Georgia, Anonymous members were arrested for such petty offenses as protesting and using megaphones. Even motorists that honked in response to "Honk if you think Scientology is a cult" signs were stopped and fined for "excessive use of horn." Since 2011 some 40 search warrants have been issued on suspected members of Anonymous in the U.S.. Worldwide, suspected members have been arrested, fined, and charged with crimes.
Activities by Anonymous groups which have been heralded in the mainstream as stories of liberation and justice like the Arab Spring, are now resulting in the arrests of hundreds of suspected members whose acts of "terrorism" consist of key strokes. One member of Anonymous who felt his actions were a legal form of protest - - a feeling shared by most members of Anonymous regarding the organization's hactivism activities - - said after being arrested that he was disillusioned with the idea of true anonymity online and warned others that anyone could be found and punished no matter how well they tried to hide themselves.
Who are those that want to end Anonymity? While the support for free flowing information and sunshine sites like Wikileaks is growing, governments and powerful interests are attempting to shut those sources of information down and they are persecuting those who make the information available, host the information, disseminate it, or defend its existence. So where does that leave Anonymous? By its nature, Anonymous is everywhere and everyone. They cannot be stopped by the arrest of dozens or hundreds or thousands or even millions. By all accounts Anonymous will continue to assert themselves in this fight for freedom and they will prevail where individuals with ideals have failed because - - in their own words - - they are Anonymous. They are legion. They do not forgive. They do not forget. So, expect them.

Categories > Celebrities > Panic! At The Disco > ~*~Fly like an angel...~*~Part II
Just days away.2 Reviews
The big day is almost here!
'Yeah, our flight leaves today at 5:15.'
'When does your flight leave?'
'Holly, James, and I leave today at 10:15.'
'We should be in around 9.'
'Okay, great.'
'Why are you guys leaving so early?'
'I have to go get a manicure and a pedicure.'
'Baby, I don't care what your toe nails look like.'
'Brendon, shut up.' Grace said as she stuffed his underwear into his suitcase.
'So we're getting married day after tomorrow.' Brendon said as he put his arms around her waist.
'Can you believe this? 48 hours from now we're going to be getting ready to get married.'
'I can't wait.' Brendon said as he ran his left hand down her arm picking up her left hand and kissing it gently as her engagement ring shined in the light.
'I'll see you when you get into tonight?'
'I'll call you before we leave.'
'I love you.'
'I love you too baby.' Brendon smiled before giving her the last passionate kiss he'd give her until they were husband and wife.
'So what else do you have to finish?' Holly asked as Grace sat in a chair between James and holly while they got their pedicures for the wedding.
'No, stop this right now!' James began, 'We are here to relax. Grace you do not need to think about what else you need to be doing all you need to do right now is relax so that's what we're going to do…we're relaxing.'
'Fine fine.' Grace argued as she laid her head against the back of the chair. 'I can't believe I'm getting married day after tomorrow.'
'Neither can I. You and Brendon are going to be amazing together.'
'We're getting married.'
'You're going to have the same name as his mom.'
'Yeah, we've talked about that.' Grace laughed.
'Whatever at least you get to be banging that fine ass for the rest of your life.' James added in.
'I hear ya man.' Grace said giving him a high five.
'I can't believe you two are talking about him like he's a piece of meat.'
'The other night, when he was completely wasted, he asked me every three seconds if he could have a blow job, if I'd blow him, if I didn't like his penis. I think I'm allowed to talk about him like that especially when he is as hot as he is.'
'So we don't get to see each other until the wedding?' Brendon asked as Grace and Brendon stood in the hall of their hotel as they waited for his parents before the rehearsal and dinner. Grace was wearing a royal blue lace strapless knee-length tea time-esque dress with a bow below the chest and a pleated skirt with tooling underneath to make it poof slightly. Grace looked absolutely adorable in her dress and wore royal blue peep toe pumps to complete her rehearsal dinner outfit. Her objective now was to drive Brendon as crazy as she possibly could before their wedding night tomorrow.
'Nope, this is our last time to see each other.' She winked as their photographer walked down the hall.
'Well then maybe we should take advantage of this.' Brendon said taking her hand and jerking her over into his arms. Grace wrapped her arms around his neck and kicked one leg up just as the photographer snapped a picture.
'Ready to go?' Mr. Urie asked.
'Yup.' Grace parted from the kiss and took Brendon's hand. He was looking particularly sexy in his black dress pants and his baby blue pocketed button up.
'Are we going to be late for the rehearsal?' Grace asked as the time was fifteen til six and they were just getting on the road
'No, we'll be there in plenty of time.'
'Well we're supposed to be there in fifteen minutes.'
'Baby, the rehearsal doesn't start until 6:30.' Brendon said picking up her hand in the back seat of the car.
'Oh.' Grace mumbled, 'Great, we're not going to be late!'
'I'm hungry.' Brendon mumbled.
'Wow.' Mrs. Urie said as her husband pulled up in the small parking lot above where they were having the ceremony. It was a beautiful beach. 'This is beautiful.'
'I know.' Grace smiled as she stepped out of the car. Grace's mom and sister in law had set up the chair and such that were needed for the rehearsal and pretty much every one was already there.
Grace chuckled as there was a pile of shoes at the beginning of the beach and everyone had their pants legs rolled up walking around in the sand. Everything was perfect; this is how she'd always pictured it to be.
'There you two are.' Grace's mom said. 'We can get started now; the two late birds are here.'
'Grace, it's so good to see you again.' Father Paul said as he kissed her forehead.
'Father Paul, this is Brendon.' Grace said introducing Brendon to her childhood priest
'It's so nice to meet you Brendon.' He smiled.
'As to you sir.' Brendon said.
'Alright let's get started. I need you two to line up your bridal party like they will be in the ceremony.'
'Okay.' Grace took off her pumps and tossed them with the pile of other shoes. 'Ryan, you're not walking in with the rest of the bridal party. You're standing next to Brendon.' Grace said. Ryan went up and stood next to the priest before Grace turned to Spencer and Jon. Jon you're walking in with Kyla, Spencer you're walking in with Kara. Tom you're walking in with Holly, Mason, you're with Megan and Matthew you are walking in with Bridgette.' It goes Mason, Matthew, Spencer, Jon, Tom.'
'Crack that whip baby.' Brendon joked. Grace glared over at him. He tossed his hands up in defeat. Now that the entire bridal party was standing where they were supposed to be for the wedding it was time for Addy and John Edward to come down here.
'So Addy, come here sweetie.' Grace called. Addy walked down and stood in front of Grace. Grace picked her up.
'Aunt Gracie, what are we doing?'
'We're practicing for tomorrow.' Grace said as she walked down the isle carrying Addy with her.
'What is habbin tomorrow?'
'Uncle Beary and I are getting married.'
'Do I get to wear my princess dress?'
'You sure do sweetheart, Can you stand right here for me?' Grace asked as she stood Addy in front of Holly.
'Yeth Aunt Gracie.' Addy smiled as she stood against her mom's legs while John Edward stood in front of Ryan.
The rehearsal went smoothly; the only thing that went wrong was Jon sneezing during the vows. Now they were off to the rehearsal dinner at a vineyard.
'Mama, I want a cheeseburger.' Addy said as she hopped out of holly's car.
'We'll see baby.' Holly said taking her daughter and her husband's hand before walking to their table.
'Are we playing red rover?' Brendon joked. Holly chuckled and rolled her eyes before letting go of Ryan's hand and picking Adelyn up.
'What's dat Untle Beary?'
'It's a game you'll learn in school sweetie.'
'I'm in tool now but I till don't know.'
'I bet you'll learn it when you're in the 1st grade. That's when I learned it.'
'Oh.' She said, 'Can I hab a cheeseburger?'
'Well I don't see why not? Come on, we'll go ask.' He said taking Addy out of Holly's arms.
'Ryan!' Grace called before attacking her best friend in a hug.
'Grace!' he said back just as excited. 'Are you excited?'
'Duh!' she laughed, 'come on! Let's go sit down.'
Dinner went really well. There were tons of laughter and even more pictures taken. There were at least a million of Ryan and Grace making faces and laughing with each other, there were pictures with Addy, Brendon, Holly, Tom, the boys, and pretty much everyone. It has been a great night and now everyone was going their separate ways for the last night of "single" life. Brendon, Ryan, and the rest of the guys were staying at a big suite at a fancy hotel while Grace and her girls were staying at another hotel near the beach. Grace, Holly, James, and Addy were sharing one room while the rest of the bridal party and the mothers were in separate rooms.
'Come on Addy; let's get your jimmies on.' Holly said as she pulled out the pink Disney princess pants and matching shirt from Addy's suitcase.
'But I not tired.'
'You don't have to go to bed sweetie; we're just getting our jimmies on.'
'Oh. Can I sweep in your bed Aunt Gracie?' Addy asked once she had her little pajamas on.
'Don't you want to sleep with mommy?'
'No. I did that wast night. Daddy was there too. Addy climbed up on Grace's bed. 'He almost squished me.'
'He did? How come?' Grace asked as she played with the little girls hair.
"Ryan has these phases where he gets really restless in his sleep and tosses and turns all night." Holly said digging though her bag.
"How come?"
"Who knows. It could be anything with him." Holly said finally finding what she was looking for – her facial kit. "Wanna do facials?"
"Yeah." Grace said.
"I want one too!" Addy bounced on the bed. Holly laughed. The three girls pinned their bangs out of their faces before putting the green mask on.
Meanwhile…in another hotel.
"Why are you being so quiet?" Ryan asked as he played with his sidekick. He had tried texting Holly to see what she and the girls were up to, but all she said in reply was 'I'm not talking to you, its girl time.'
"I'm just trying to figure something out."
"How I got so lucky to have Grace. Why? She's perfect."
"Well, obviously someone saw the train wreck you were headed towards and decided to send you a guardian angel."
"Yeah. She saved me man. I can't wait for tomorrow."
"I know. She's very special. Take really good care of my best friend."
"I will." Brendon smiled proudly. He honestly couldn't wait to be a husband, and he was really excited about being a father in the future too. "So what's it like being a dad?"
"It's the best job in the world. I mean, don't get me wrong. Being a rock star is pretty cool, but when I see that little girl running towards me with that smile on her face I melt. I'm constantly protecting her from monsters in the closet, bugs and any other bad thing in the world." Ryan smiled. He really loved being a daddy.
"That sounds amazing."
"Yeah, and I overhead Addy and Holly talking the other day, you know how much Holly loves Batman?"
"Yup." Brendon chuckled.
"Well she had her Batman shirt on and Addy asked what it was and Holly told her he was a super hero and she told her that daddy was her super hero. That hit me man, hard. I cried a little bit. Being a dad is the best thing in the world."
"Wow. Do you think I'll be a good dad?"
"An interesting one but yeah, I think your kids will love you a lot. They'll be lucky kids. You're still one yourself." They laughed and continued to talk about fatherhood and married life. By the end of the night Brendon was even more excited than he was before…if that was possible even.

Houma, La. - Quvenzhané Wallis will have a lot of work to make up when she returns to school next week. The 4th grader missed a social studies test Thursday while she was in Los Angeles for the Academy Award nominations.
Wallis, 9, became the youngest female ever nominated in the Best Actress Category for her portrayal of "Hushpuppy" in the movie "Beasts of the Southern Wild." The movie was mostly shot in Terrebonne Parish and received critical acclaim at awards shows around the world.
Wallis is an outgoing, friendly student at her school and teachers say she's much like her spirited character in the film. But on campus, she's just a 4th grader trying to do well in her classes.
Wallis is expected back in class next week when she will have to make up the missed social studies test. Her teachers say she's missed quite a few days of school this year because of her blossoming acting career but Wallis is always good about making up the work.
Principal Melanie Wallis, who's also Quvenzhané's cousin, says they are planning something special at the school to honor their Oscar nominee.

By MSN NZ Money staff
A district health board has come under fire for refusing to host an afternoon tea for a retiring employee who had been with the company for more than 50 years of work.
Today is Barry Sweetman's last day at the West Coast District Health Board where he has been an employee for half a century, according to the New Zealand Herald.
The health board is short of funds but a request to have them assist in paying for his farewell afternoon tea was initially rejected.
But after receiving a national panning, Mr Sweetman's employer has "come to the party" and contributed a small amount of food to a farewell function held last night.
A Service and Food Workers' Union official told reporters it was "totally bloody disgusting" while Labour Party health spokeswoman Ruth Dyson said it was a "complete insult".
The health board also responded to the negative feedback by issuing a statement which paid tribute to Mr Sweetman's long service and called him a "valued member" of the trades' staff.

I loved this recipe but as the reviewer before me stated that you must keep an eye on the Frites as they cooked quicker than thought. I used a mandoline than a knife.
Cajun Steak Frites with Kale

steponme Posted: 03/08/10
The steak was a little tough to me, but the seasoning was on the money. I think next time I'll either grill or pan sear the steak. Fries were good, be careful not to overbake; mines were done in 1/2 the time recipe stated. Kale also had good flavor.
franandal Posted: 04/26/10
Loved the frites.Seasoning was spot on. Very flavorful. As with the other reviewers I burnt some of them, cooking for 15 minutes and then turning and cooking another 10 minutes would have made mine perfect.
