Kate & William attended the private wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall at Edinburgh's Canongate Kirk. The couple paused briefly to wave to the crowd before ducking inside the church.
The Duchess of Cambridge wore a gorgeous cream knee-length brocade style coat dress and matching hat with rose enhancement. Her coat dress was never identified but in my opinion, it looks very similar to the blue Jane Troughton Coat dress that Kate has recycled.
She also wore her taupe LK Bennett Sledge2 Court shoes and carried her woven straw LK Bennett Natalie clutch.
A half-up hairdo and pretty drop earrings completed her look. Our wonderful follower TH mentioned that Kate wore the same Diamond Cluster Drop Earrings that she wore to the Canada Day Concert.
Photo credit: Dianas JewelsThe coat dress looks like the same one she wore to the wedding of Laura Parker Bowles and Harry Lopes in 2006.
Just a guess on my part but at the Parker Bowles/Lopes wedding above we see the lace skirt peeking from beneath her coat dress which could very well be the dress that she wore to the Simon Sebag Montefiore Book Launch in 2007. I wonder if that is what she chose to wear today as well?
One last picture is of the stunning bride Zara Phillips (she will keep her last name). She is wearing a beautiful ivory silk and duchess satin Stuart Parvin Wedding Gown.
Our follower Annis let me know that the lace dress Kate wore to the 2007 book signing could be a Collette Dinnigan design. Looking through some of Ms. Dinnegan's past collections, I have found some similar dresses. The top two are from the 2005 ready-to-wear collection and the bottom dress is from the 2006 collection.
I also found this article in an Australian newspaper confirming that Kate is, in fact a customer of Collette Dinnigan.
'The Sydney-based designer told us that the princess-to-be is a loyal customer.
In the past she's purchased lace pieces that complement her slim figure and she seems to have a good understanding of the styles that suit her shape, Dinnigan said.
Middleton and her sister, Pippa visit the London boutique regularly.'
Middleton and her sister, Pippa visit the London boutique regularly.'
Update 7/31/11
After looking at what seems like a zillion pictures, I found a picture that confirms that Kate is wearing the same lace dress under her cream dress coat as she wore to the Parker Bowles/Lopes.
Update 8/1/11
Kate's dress coat had been ID'ed!!! It is by a danish designer Day Birger et Mikkelson from their 2006 resort collection. I found a listing on Ebay for the coat (it has since sold for £600.00). Below are some pictures of the coat from the Ebay listing.
Kate's dress has been ID'ed as well. Collette Dinnigan confirmed via her Facebook page that it is her dress.
Another Update 8/1/11
Follower TH has alerted me to the fact that Kate's gorgeous hat is a Gina Foster design. It is from the Spring/Summer 2011 collection www.ginafoster.co.uk/index.html
Additional details - the hat is a natural straw coulis, called 'Launceston Place.' It retails for $675 and was customized by the duchess herself in a visit to the hat maker 10 days before Zara's wedding. Kate decided to add an additional flower under the bow detailing.
Gina formed her own label in 2006 and opened her Millinery Boutique in 2010. Below is a similar hat that I found on the Gina Foster Millinery website.

Coming from the Korean word for "modernity", Hyundai was founded as a small construction firm in South Korea in 1947, but didn't become the Hyundai Motor Company until 20 years later. Currently, Hyundai is the fourth largest vehicle manufacturer in the world, operating the world's largest integrated automobile manufacturing facility, with cars sold in nearly 200 countries. That's serious business!
The company is known for building a fairly traditional set of saloons, city cars, SUVs, and hatchbacks, as well as a very large i800 MPV.
Both the Tucson and the Santa Fe offer a good combination of practicality, a commanding driving position and decent value for money in the face of fierce competition. The compact yet surprisingly spacious i10 supermini is one of Hyundai's highest rated cars.
About the Hyundai i20
There are two versions of the Hyundai i20 - the regular version, and a slightly taller one called the i20 Active. With improved fuel economy on its predecessor, as well as eco-friendly lower CO2 emissions, the i20 is definitely competitive with other superminis in the market. It comes with loads of standard equipment, such as electric front windows, adjustable (and heatable!) door mirrors, and remote central locking.
What issues should you keep an eye out for? The steering column can be a bit noisy from time to time, and some drivers of the Hyundai i20 have had trouble with the shocks as well as broken cranks.
Common problems with Hyundai
Since Hyundai is producing nearly 2 million cars a year, there's a lot of opportunity for issues to arise! For example, if you're driving a Hyundai Tuscon, you may notice that you experience poor fuel mileage, transmission lock-ups, or even premature tyre wear. If you're in a Hyundai Matrix, you may be one of the few who has struggled with leaking coolant. And if you whizz around town in a Hyundai Genesis you could see electric failures or air bag deployments at bad times.
Don't worry if these issues are bothering you, though - Book My Garage can help you find the Hyundai garage in your region to get you back out on the street as soon as possible.

A lacklustre, rather dour-looking cowboy hero, Dick Hatton, with his horse, Star, nevertheless manages to carve a niche for himself in the already overcrowded field of also-ran cowboys of the 1920s. In this typical low-budget oater, Hatton plays Dick Williams, the new owner of the Bar M. Ranch, who saves the sheriff's daughter from being thrown by her frightened horse. Soon enough, Dick is framed for both theft and murder. The sheriff, however, pays his debt to Dick by allowing him to escape and search for the real culprit, the town's unscrupulous moneylender. The film -- whose supporting cast, sadly, seems to have been lost to history -- was scripted by the prolific George W. Pyper.

Skip to comments.Charlie Crist Gets Owned(!) by Rubio on Fox Debate - Now
Posted on 03/28/2010 6:16:00 AM PDT by quesney
click here to read article
If TP trolls need to be exposed, that should put an end to it but it should be done by someone with major media props.
Marco Rubio is getting lots of $ at facebook.com. There's a DIRECT LINK. Someone was looking for it this morning. If you have a ping list, let me know and I'll go find that link for you.
Yes, I have a very large Florida Freeper ping list. :)
Oh, sorry... I didn't realize you were talking about C-SPAN's coverage of CPAC. Wow, if all you saw of the conference after Rubio are some "housekeeping" sessions, I can see why you thought it went downhill. So C-SPAN only showed a very tiny tip of a huge "iceberg"!
It's a shame that C-SPAN didn't cover at least the major speakers. Molly Henneberg was there most of the day on Saturday, so I know they did some coverage of CPAC. My mother was watching at home... I believe she said Fox covered Glenn Beck's entire speech live.
Yeah, I agree, although I have to say Greta's show has improved by 1,000% since she ditched the murder mystery crap and her creepy panel of lawyers.
Oh, I've noticed that SO many times and it drives me nuts! :-(
I agree... I think C-SPAN has a liberal filter also...

AfDB Organizes Training Program for University Officials
In collaboration with the Boston College's Center for International Higher Education (CIHE), the African Development Institute (ADI) on Monday, July 5, 2010, in Tunis started a training program for university officials. The three-day event, held on the theme: "Building World-Class Universities," aims at enabling participants share experiences and discuss issues facing universities across the globe.
The discussions during the first day of the training focused on leading human development factors in a globalizing world which participants described as "knowledge sharing, and where academics interact and learn from shared experiences." Discussions during the training delivered by Boston College experts will enable participants upgrade their knowledge of teaching and share their experiences. At the end of the three-day training, participants will have a road map for a strategy that aims, among others, at scaling up quality control, improving the teaching profession, expanding access to equity and raising awareness of the community mission.
Human capital is one of the key development factors, a point underscored by the ADI director, Sibry Tapsoba, who opened the event. "The need to increase and use this human capital is in line with the Bank's medium-term strategic vision," he said, adding that "human factor is of strategic importance to the Bank," given that "the standard of living in a given country is mainly determined by the way this country develops and uses the skills, knowledge, health and the habits of its people." It is clear that in Africa like in other parts of the world, human capital and the efficiency of economic institutions condition economic performances. "It goes without saying that a country with an educated citizenry generally has a healthy population that lives long with healthy progeny," he said, commending the partnership between ADI and CIHE.
The training has brought together some 25 participants from 12 African countries, including presidents, rectors and vice-rectors. The training is being delivered by prominent American and European university professors.

DePauw Students Assist Local Convention and Visitors Bureau
April 24, 2008
April 24, 2008, Greencastle, Ind. - DePauw University students are lending their talents to aid the Putnam County Convention and Visitors Bureau. Greencastle's Banner-Graphic reports that some DePauw students have volunteered to act in a 20-minute play, Hoosier Hillbilly Wedding, which will be performed "at around 12:30 p.m. Monday at Cataract Falls. The show will be put on for an audience of out-of-town visitors headed to the area on a tour bus."
Adam Coates writes, "It appears to be similar to shows put on for tour groups in Branson, Mo. The basic idea is a 'shotgun wedding' that is meant to be a comedy. Students from DePauw University have agreed to act out the play. [Convention and Visitors Bureau executive director Karla] Lawless said she tried to get local residents to do it, but to no avail."
The text continues, "It's one of several new attractions the CVB has created to encourage tourism in the area. So far they've booked six tour buses for the year."
The participating students are: Timothy Fox, Bradley King, Elizabeth Orsborn and Donald Smith.

It is so often overlooked that it is one of the OWASP Top 10, refereed to as "Broken Authentication and Session Management."
This article will cover certain attributes that cookies typically have. In the future we will address how to use attribute tags to help aid developers in securing their applications. This article assumes the reader has a basic understanding of what a cookie is.
Here is a sample HTTP response. This is what the server responds with after a client request is made. The response has been edited for brevity.
Content-Type: text/html

For those unfamiliar with cookies, a cookie consists of a name/value pair. In this case the cookie name is "session" and the cookie value is "YnJldHQ6bXlwYXNzd29yZA=="
Following the cookie name/value pair are the attribute/value pairs that apply to that cookie and are delimited with a semicolon. In this example their are three attribute/value pairs: expires, path, and domain.
Expires Attribute
expires=Thu, 30 Dec 2037 00:00:00 GMT
The expires attribute is used to tell the browser when the cookie should no longer be used. Browsers will cache this cookie locally until the expires date is reached. When the expires date is reached the browser will stop sending the cookie after the browser is closed. In our example the cookie will remain valid until December 30th, 2037.
Path Attribute
The Path attribute specifies the subset of URLs to which this cookie applies. In this case, the cookie will be sent for any request to this server. If a user requests /bobsapp/ or /tomsapp/ this cookie will be sent.
Domain Attribute
The Domain attribute specifies the domain for which the cookie is valid. An explicitly specified domain must always start with a dot. In our example, this cookie will be sent to misc-security.com and any sub-domains of misc-security.com (e.g. asparagus.misc-security.com).
In a future article we will continue looking at the attribute/value pairs that cookies can have and will even revisit these attributes explaining how each needs to be understood to securely handle a user's session.

Benjamin Millepied
Man of Many
Cultures: Benjamin Millepied Blends Up Another Piece, This One
for PNB
By Rosie Gaynor
October 30,
Choreographer/dancer Benjamin Millepied (photo by Arthur Elgort)
I spent the
better part of yesterday afternoon following Benjamin
Millepied's mille steps online. He's only 31 years old,
but this French-born dancer/choreographer has 15+ works to his
name already. There are excerpts of some of these works on the
Web; I've listed the links below since, well, a picture is worth
mille mots.
So what did I
learn? Ten years ago, Dance magazine named Millepied one
of five male dancers to watch.
And three
years ago, in an excellent profile for The New York Times,
Anna Kisselgoff wrote that he had come into his own as a dancer,
but, "as a choreographer, Mr. Millepied still has to come under
New York's scrutiny."
It just so
happened that, since then, Millepied has come under New York's
scrutiny. What an exposed and public place to learn your craft!
His works appeared there at least twice in 2006 and again in
2007, and the reviews have grown increasingly positive. And
although he continues to dance as a principal with New York City
Ballet, during the last three years Millepied has also
choreographed for the Paris Opéra Ballet—twice; choreographed
for Grand Théâtre de Genève—twice; and served as
choreographer-in-residence for the Baryshnikov Arts Center. His
most recent piece elicited the following comment from Roslyn
Sulcas of The New York Times: "[The world he creates
onstage in Triade] has the feel of our time, and in it
ballet seems to be a language that can be spoken today. That's
no small achievement."
One of five
male dancers to watch? You'd better look quick: this man is
moving fast. He's not in a hurry, but when you start counting up
the commissions—more again next year in
New York for NYCB and American Ballet Theatre—he's hot. "The pieces
I've seen of his have shown amazing promise—maybe beyond
promise," says Pacific Northwest Ballet Artistic Director Peter
Boal, who coached Millepied in various roles several years ago
at NYCB. Boal also cast Millepied in the first piece Boal
himself choreographed. "I've always known that he had a great
eye for [movement] and I wanted to grab him before he's too
expensive." And grab him he did: Millepied's new 3 Movements
will be presented at PNB next week.
A nice thing
about Millepied is that he has more than three kinds of
movements. Reviewers have noted the influence of Balanchine,
Robbins, and Forsythe. I'll buy that. I got a sneak peek of 3
Movements last week before I interviewed him, and I could
see the risky off-balance quality of Balanchine, the urban
everyman of some Robbins, the drive of Forsythe. When Millepied
talks of the information/styles stored in his body, he also adds
folk dance, Cunningham, and Limón as well. I'll pitch in two
more perceived influences: the fluid continuity of Tharp and the
poetry that is every Frenchman's birthright because it's in
their very language.
important, however, is what all these influences are
acting upon. Or, said another way, who is choosing to
play with these influences. Millepied is a thinker, a
percussionist in a family of musicians, an accomplished ballet
dancer whose earliest experiences included modern dance, African
dance, and joy. You can see this in his movement. "It's
definitely my own energy," says Millepied, "the way I like to
Ballet was
not this dancer's original passion, but it is a central one. "I
was a little scared of ballet, because of the discipline," says
Millepied, who began to dance just about the time he learned to
walk; his mother was a modern dance teacher. "Dance was just
such a source of joy for me. I never wanted to feel like I was
being forced into something. I did it because I loved it." Even
so, when he was 11 or 12 years old—right around the time the
Baryshnikov films White Nights and Don Quixote
came out, he notes with a laugh—he grew intrigued by ballet.
"That was really where I wanted to go. Seeing that kind of
dancing was amazing." It was a turning point for him. "I think
when I decided to take ballet classes is when I decided to
become a dancer…. Then, of course, I realized the kind of
discipline that you need to become a great ballet dancer." He
was in a good place to learn. "I went to the Conservatoire de
Lyon, and I had great teachers. To this day I feel so
Even as a
child, however, Millepied was drawn to the U.S. It started at
home. "My mother started dancing because of West Side Story,"
he said. "We had a picture of Suzanne Farrell and Peter Martins
in the house. There was always this idea that America was the
place to go."
Although he holds firm to his French roots ("Je reste français,"
he says in one online interview) Millepied has certainly learned
and thrived in the U.S. "I first saw him when he was 16, at the
School of American Ballet,"
says Peter Boal. "I wasn't teaching at the time, but I took
class every day and so I saw him…. He's very talented; we all
noticed him right away." Boal went on to mention the young
student's first experiences with Jerome Robbins in a piece
called 2 & 3 Part Inventions. "To work with Jerome
Robbins when you're 16 is amazing. He had been making all these
dark ballets." An aside: "I was in a lot of them." A chuckle:
"Dark, death theme. [Then, here, for SAB] was the brightest,
lightest piece; it was a real charm in Jerome Robbins' life to
work with these guys."
Millepied has
continued to cross the
Atlantic Ocean, physically and figuratively, as he has experimented
with styles of choreography. "Triple Duet [in 2002, at
Sadler's Wells] was really a straightforward choreography to
Bach. At that time, I just went with my instinct," he said.
"Then I started to work in
Europe a lot.
And the expectation in Europe—especially France—is so much about
your own movement quality and finding your own voice, in the
sense that you're doing something that nobody else is doing….
It's changing now, but for a while they went totally into this
really conceptual [mode]. If you were dancing on the stage,
forget it. I was pulled…. So I went into this, forgetting that
what I had been doing in the beginning was really just so much
about the construction of the piece and my background, which is
Balanchine. How to come up with interesting patterns? How to
illustrate the music with great skill? It's as simple as that.
With great structure, with good steps, using the dancers well."
takes issue with those who think that these are old-fashioned
things to focus on; he notes that in
Europe many journalists are not likely to attend this kind of work.
"For them it's the past. But there's no rule. Even though I'm
doing something with skills that have been around for a long
time, I still can present this music with new ideas—ideas that
are mine—ideas of today. And this ballet," he says of PNB's 3
Movements, "is a ballet of today."
particular underlying philosophy is rare these days, he says,
but he knows he is not alone. "Not a lot of people are doing it,
but there's certainly a place for it. It's kind of exciting.
I've been very inspired—I was just in New York, where I saw
three of Chris's [Wheeldon] ballets. He speaks his language with
so much clarity and discipline. It charged me to set this piece
[at PNB]. And with [Alexei] Ratmansky coming to New York…. He has great skill. They both have great skill."
One skill
Millepied has used more and more over the past few years is his
ability to read an orchestral score. "When I choreographed
Petrouchka for Geneva, I couldn't see myself choreographing
that score without knowing it. I had a great meeting with this
guy who is the associate conductor at Philadelphia. I spent
three days just really learning the score. It was unbelievable.
Suddenly you can see in your brain this map of the music.
There's no secret: that's why Balanchine was so great. It's
genius too, but he could read the score better than a conductor.
Once he had that score in his brain, he was able to play with it
and go far, far beyond." Millepied has revisited some of the
Balanchine and Russian ballets he has danced—this time with an
eye to the score to better understand "the kind of genius of
these people."
I asked
Millepied to show me the two notebooks I'd seen him carry into
rehearsal. One was the score, by Steve Reich. It is
well-thumbed. "It's totally disgusting," he said, "I just write
all over it." Color, lines, counting, notes… "This score—it's
very Stravinsky-esque. In order to make this work, you need
great order, great discipline. The architecture of this piece is
phenomenal. It really is. It's amazing."
One nice
thing about Millepied's style is that we'll probably get to see
some of this architecture. But, he says when I ask, "it's not
about Mickey Mousing. What I'm doing is adding another variation
on the theme that [the composer] is doing.… I'm adding another
Toward the
end of the interview, I asked Millepied what he hopes to achieve
with this piece at PNB. I was still probing for a string of
phrases that would help describe his vision or his style.
Instead, he said so simply: "I hope it's a good piece. I hope it
will serve the company and that it's a good piece. That's all."
That actually serves as an apt description of an aspect of his
style that you can see in the second Amoveo clip below:
effortless-looking complexity.
spending my afternoon looking at some of the online excerpts of
Millepied's work, I've developed a few hopes of my own for this
I hope the
work for female ensembles doesn't follow Capriccio, where
their movements appear trite to me. This is an unfair comment;
what gets lost when a live performance is translated to a tiny
YouTube screen? At any rate, better to follow what he does with
the solos and the large-group work toward the end. Hello, art!
I hope the
partner work is like that of Amoveo: the dancers are so
very, very connected. They are connected to the music, their
physical space, their air, each other, the audience. I'm
guessing it will be just like that. Even in Chaconne, one
of Millepied's early pieces, there is this sense of partnering.
Granted, he's the only one on the cast list, but throughout the
film he is dancing with his environment—and the camera.
I hope that
PNB's piece is like Amoveo, where the women are more than
just pretty objects to be hoisted up and moved around. There,
they are somehow part of the lifting, part of the
I hope that
the dancers can get up from the floor. I have such a bias
against dancers sprawling on the floor, since it always seems
like a chore—or worse, a precious cleverness—to get the dancer
back up. But in the clips I've seen of Millepied's work, he can
make it work. Check out the male solo in Capriccio
I hope that
the dancers can catch what one review called Millepied's slouchy
attitude. It is a way of relaxing into certain movements, I
think. This is not the place for sloppiness or for that dreaded
redundant gravity (in the physical sense and the emotional) that
sometimes happens when dancers move more slowly than the music.
(When Millepied dances Fancy Free, he dances the rumba
sailor. I'd like to see that.)
I hope
that I can catch the salsa bits, because I like the story as
Millepied tells it. It goes like this, with hand motions and a
smile: "I went to the Dominican Republic this summer for a week.
I was totally in the non-touristique part. I went out dancing
every night. I was dancing with people who had an older-style
salsa. They were really dressed up. Three generations [living
together] on $100, but they were really dressed up. I learned
all the dances while I was there and I practiced with a lot of
different people. And as each new person came in, we were doing
more and more freestyle. They all dance. They all know how to
dance. They're amazing. I learned a lot. That week was
great. So there's a little bit of that in this piece too."
I hope I
recognize the parts inspired by Carla Körbes. "There's a rhythm
in the second movement," says Millepied. "You'll understand when
you see it why it's so her. There's a sense of the elegance she
has. She's an extraordinary ballerina."
When I asked
Millepied if there's one thing he could point to that defines
his current style, he said that his style depends on the score
that he is using. "I have in my body much information, from my
career and my education, that I use in different ways." But, he
added, there is one common thread: the way he uses the back.
"The back moves in my ballet—and in ways that you don't see a
lot of people doing in more classical work." Millepied's ability
to give articulation to the back, to let it move, comes in part
from the experience of living in Senegal for five years as a
child and in part from his mother's instruction of African dance
and modern dance. But in the online clips I've seen, the
expression of this doesn't look like the overt contractions I
did in African dance classes years ago. He uses it for ballet
rather than in ballet. There are 16 dancers in 3
Movements. I hope they can all get the cat-joyful-total
stretch of the back that we see in, say, "From Here on Out."
And last, I
hope we love this new work, because Peter Boal is into building
collections for the company's repertoire and I really, really
want to see Amoveo come to

It may not be true the Minions keeping watch over Gru in downtown Brush foiled the villain's new plan to steal the moon, but it sounds logical.
Gru has left downtown and so have the Minions.
"I think it was time for them to go," said Janet Krohn, who with Mary Endsley and the Cowpokes and Cactus 4-H Club created hay bale Minions and Gru around Halloween.
Gru sat on a bench in front of the Brush Chamber of Commerce and the Minions watched from a safe distance across the street.
"I think they attracted a lot of attention," Krohn said. "It was fun to see little kids get out of a car and go running up to Gru."
The idea formed when Krohn's grandson took an interest in the "Despicable Me" characters and her daughter let it be known that a Pinterest idea to make the Minions would win Krohn top grandmother honors with her grandson.
"We really made them just because," Krohn said. "Then we thought they could stay out until Christmas as elf Minions."
Visitors to downtown were encouraged to take their photo with Gru or the Minions for a chance to win Brush Bucks, but many of those who did and shared their photos on Facebook likely didn't realize there was a benefit to participating.
"I just love decorating," Krohn said. "I love being creative and having fun."
With the assistance of Endsley, along with Blaine and Lindsey Endsley in the 4-H chapter, the Pinterest idea came to fruition.
"We didn't take the Minions apart," Krohn said. "So, I guess that means they may be able to come back again. We might also try to come up with another idea."
If left to her grandson, Krohn says residents could see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Incredible Hulk, Superman or some other action characters arrive.
"I'm not sure I could pull that off," Krohn said.

Patriot Viper Fin DDR3 PC3 12800 2 x 1 GB Review
After testing five different sets of DDR3 memory, I must say that the highest clockspeeds that I have attained were with the Patriot Viper Fin PC3 12800, 962FSB (1924MHz) 8-7-7-20. 162FSB worth of overclocking headroom means that with a 1:2 memory divider you will be hard pressed to find a CPU that can outscale this memory. Did I mention that this was done at a 1t command rate? With higher speed rated memory, the expectation is that it will go a little faster and further up the clock speed scale. This does hold true in many instances, though not all. With the voltage requirements for performance DDR3 creeping up and away from the 1.5 volts DDR3 spec, cooling the memory modules needs to be addressed. Patriot designed a special Aluminum-Copper composite (ACC) heatspreader that effectively cooled the modules down. Even with 2.0+ volts running through them they never got warm to the touch. One surprise was the ability to run tighter than stock timings at 1333MHz. I was able to run the modules at 6-5-5-16 with only 1.76 volts. Sweet!
When DDR3 is mentioned, price is brought up as the main liability when the talk turns to migrating. At this point, DDR3 performance modules are expensive. I still remember paying $320 for a nice 2 x 1GB set of TCCD modules not too terribly long ago. $300 was the price tag on my first set of DDR2 modules as well. With a price just shy of $300, the entry price is similar to each of the last two generations, at least for a 2 x 1GB set. 4GB sets, on the other hand, are just prohibitively expensive at this point, though moving to Vista may neccesitate having the additional memory. The old sayiong holds true though, you gotta pay to play.
Speaking of playing, gaming performance was another surprise area for me. 5 to 20 frames per second increases just with the switch of the system memory is unreal. Each test was run five times to verify the results. If you are looking to migrate to DDR3, take a careful look at the offerings on the market, but with the overclockability of the Patriot Viper Fin series, you really won't have to look too far. Good looks, cool running, overclocking headroom, and XMP profiles, what else do you need in a set of modules?
- Unique Heatspreader Design
- Cool Running Modules
- Gaming Performance
- Can Run Tight Timings at Low Speeds
- Overclocking Headroom
- XMP Profiles
- 1900MHz + Speeds 1t
- None

Associated Press
New York Yankee pitcher Jose Contreras says his family was barred from leaving Cuba, the newspaper La Prensa reported Monday.
Contreras told the newspaper that Cuban officials had twice refused permission for his wife Miriam Murillo to go to Nicaragua and that she would have to wait four years before applying again.
He told La Prensa that Nicaragua had given a visa to his wife and daughters Naylan, 11, and Naylenis, 3, but that it had expired.
Contreras was a star with the Cuban national baseball team before defecting and signing with the Yankees in December 2002.
He has legal residence in Nicaragua, though he also has a house in Tampa, Florida. He spoke to the newspaper at a hotel in Managua.
"While they call me a traitor, I don't feel that I'm a traitor," Contreras told La Prensa. "I have not committed any offense, any crime. I took the decision to leave the island. It was a personal decision, and my daughters and my wife should not have to pay any price. They aren't guilty of anything, even if any guilt exists."
"For eight years, I gave my best for my country and now they treat me this way. I'm not a politician. I'm a sportsman, and if my country had treated me better, I would not be here, I'd be in Cuba."

Anti-Democratic Anti Donald Trump Communists and Marxists Protest Against Democracy and Majority
Students at universities throughout the UK are now beginning to make a stand and confront the scourge of far left-wing probity-ringer liberal elite Marxist militant anti-democratic student unions who have been accused of alleged anti-Semitism, totalitarian Communist Political Correctness and tyrannical left-wing fascism.
There is much suffering in this world.
It is of our opinion that much of it is being perpetrated and caused in the name of far left-wing extremism in the form of liberal elite left-wing politically correct fascism.
Overcoming it will require a concentrated and extended effort on many fronts after brexit, including the moral one.
Supposed political correctness, however, is undermining our real decent true morality and deflecting our efforts to combat the evil of leftist PC anti-British activity and intellectual depravity.
Political correctness actually stirs up hatred by bringing attention to differences in the first place, and then using those differences for its own agenda of divide and rule, and we believe strongly that the anti Donald Trump protests are about exactly that.
Divide and rule.
Political correctness is nothing but a tool used by the left-wing to close down debate, shut people up and to maintain the upper hand by shaming opponents into silence and to prevent examination and exposure of the true intentions of far left-wing fascism.
If evil is excused, justified away, and not identified as such, or if we fail to properly locate its sources, our efforts will be misdirected, we will fail, then evil will prevail.
Thousands of alleged suspected far left-wing Marxist communist protesters – including Lily Allen and Gary Lineker – gather at Downing Street and in cities across Britain in protest over Donald Trump's 'Muslim ban' and UK visit
"According to the draft copy of Trump's executive order, the countries whose citizens are barred entirely from entering the United States is based on a bill that Obama signed into law in December 2015.
Obama signed the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act as part of an omnibus spending bill. The legislation restricted access to the Visa Waiver Program, which allows citizens from 38 countries who are visiting the United States for less than 90 days to enter without a visa.
Though outside groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union and NIAC Action — the sister organization of the National Iranian American Council — opposed the act, the bipartisan bill passed through Congress with little pushback.
At the initial signing of the restrictions, foreigners who would normally be deemed eligible for a visa waiver were denied if they had visited Iran, Syria, Sudan or Iraq in the past five years or held dual citizenship from one of those countries.
In February 2016, the Obama administration added Libya, Somali and Yemen to the list of countries one could not have visited — but allowed dual citizens of those countries who had not traveled there access to the Visa Waiver Program. Dual citizens of Syria, Sudan, Iraq and Iran are still ineligible, however.
Six nations listed on Trump's controversial executive order, which prohibits citizens of seven countries from visiting the US, also impose travel bans of their own.
Jewish people have been barred from these countries.
But of course, the left-wing protesters choose to ignore this fact and this in itself proves that the left-wing so called protesters for the cause of equality and decency, are nothing more than political activists with very dark hidden intentions that are in fact a mirror image of the very things that they say they protest about in the first place and accuse others of.
So, in a nutshell, Obama restricted visa waivers for those seven Muslim-majority countries — Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen — and now, Trump is looking to bar immigration and visitors from the same list of countries."
Remember the protesting when Obama first signed this order then?
No, we don't either.
New petition now online to allow and support the Donald Trump State Visit to the UK and to counter the left-wing protests of hypocrisy and shame
TENS of thousands of people including celebrities such as Gary Lineker and Lily Allen gathered in cities across the UK to protest against Trump's "Muslim ban".
Protest events were held in London, Newcastle, Leeds and Edinburgh after the ban stopping visitors from seven Muslim countries from entering the US sparked fury and outrage across the world.
More than a million suspected UK communists have signed a petition calling for Trump's planned state visit to be axed in a protest against democratic process and the will of the British people.
Far left-wing protests, metres away from the door of Number 10, chants of "shame on May" echoed throughout the crowd after Downing Street rejected calls to stop the President's planned state visit to the UK – despite an official petition reaching more than 1,000,000 in just 24 hours.
A number of demonstrators have marched the streets with placards with a number of them stating that refugees are welcome and "say no to Trump".
Match of the Day presenter, Gary Lineker, was pictured in the capital with his sons Harry and George.
Lineker posted a picture on Instagram last night of the crowds in London with the caption: "Well played London"
Singer Lily Allen has also posted a picture of herself on Twitter of herself at the march in London.
She captioned the image: "Can't even see a stage NGL (Not Going to Lie)"
Allen also posted a picture of the crowds using hashtag #LondonStandsWithMuslims
Sheezus singer Allen led hundreds protesting outside the US embassy in London on the day of Trump's inauguration.
A picture of Bianca Jagger holding a microphone at the protest in London was also posted on Twitter.
Human rights activist Jagger – ex-wife of Rolling Stones frontman Mick – tweeted yesterday: "We must send a clear message to #TheresaMay: our democratic values are not for sale #ResistTrump".
Anti Trump protesters in London caused chaos for commuters trying to get home as they filled Westminster underground station on their way to the demonstration last night.
Thousands of people can be seen trying to make their way towards the station, with some carrying placards and posters.
Whitehall was turned into a sea of placards and traffic came to a standstill as the sprawling crowd spilled into the road.
Chants including "Donald Trump has got to go" rippled up the street throughout the evening.
Speakers from across the political spectrum addressed those gathered in London alongside campaigners and performers.
Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott told the crowd she had come on behalf of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
She said: "Donald Trump has been president for only a few days and look at what he is doing.
"We need to resist the Islamophobia and scapegoating of Muslims, we have got to resist it whether it is in the United States or here in the UK."
The action will add to the growing pressure on Theresa May to cancel the new President's state visit.
Kate Allen, director of Amnesty UK, backed the protests, blasting the US ban as "appalling".
She said: "Donald Trump's administration is wilfully demonising as 'security concerns', children, women and men fleeing from torturers and mass murderers.
"These demonstrations show the depth of anger and frustration felt by ordinary people in the UK.
"Amnesty is calling on everyone to search out their nearest demonstration and send a loud message to our politicians that such a ban cannot be tolerated."
There were similar scenes up and down the country, with huge crowds in the shadow of landmarks such as Manchester Town Hall.Thousands also packed the streets in Scotland, where the largest protests were in Glasgow and Edinburgh, with smaller events in Aberdeen and Dundee.
Demonstrations continued in George Square, Glasgow, after a three-hour rally in Buchanan Street, while in Edinburgh, large crowds marched from the North Bridge to the US consulate in Regent Terrace.
In Nottingham, hundreds of people congregated at Speakers Corner to protest.
People held banners with a range of messages including "I'm Syrian Not A Terrorist" and "Trump: Make America Hate Again".
Yesterday demonstrations erupted across the US at airports, with protesters and police clashing as cops in Seattle hit them with pepper spray.
It comes just days after thousands joined a Women's March to promote women's and human rights in the wake of Trump's inauguration just 10 days ago.
Yesterday Boris Johnson confirmed the White House had said no Brits with dual citizenship would be affected by the ban, which is set to be in place for three months.
Refugees will also be banned from entering the country for the next 120 days, and those fleeing Syria are banned indefinitely.

Its safe to say that Stonehenge and New York City probably don't have a lot in common. After all, Manhattan isn't a prehistoric monument and burial site, like Stonehenge. Nor would I say our island is exactly a source of mystery and folklore, like Stonehenge.
But, I just found out that twice a year a phenomenon occurs that is technically called "Manhattanhenge." Named after a similar occurence at Stonehenge (in which the sun rises and sets over the 'heel stone' during the solstice), Manhattanhenge refers to the days when the East-West axis of the Manhattan grid aligns to the setting sun, so that it is framed perfectly, and blindingly, as it disappears over the horizon.
This day is upon us! The full sun will be on the grid tonight, July 12th, at 8:17 pm. Pop a reminder into your calendar so you don't miss out! Otherwise you'll have to wait until next spring… and how often can we (who can't even see the stars at night) really brag that our island seems to have any relationship to nature? Enjoy!

Dear Mrs. Riches:
My parents are on a modest fixed income that they have managed to stretch to cover their basic expenses adequately. However, they are getting on in years, and each doctor's visit seems to bring a new high-priced medication that must be taken on a daily basis. Now, their medications cost upwards of $500 a month, and the amount keeps climbing. My mom is fretting about how they'll continue to manage; my dad is tight-lipped and tense. Have any suggestions for how I can help?
--Concerned Daughter
Dear Concerned Daughter:
The pinch you describe is felt by many members of our aging population (and anyone who relies on daily medication). Luckily, there are lots of ways you can help your parents. Here are a few money-saving strategies suggested by experts Dr. Michael Cecil, author of Drugs for Less: The Complete Guide to Free and Discounted Drugs, and Michelle Katz, author of Healthcare for Less:
- Get a copy of your parents' insurance formulary to bring on doctor appointments. Insurance companies maintain a list of approved drugs (those for which they will cover a portion of the cost). Your folks' doctors may be able to choose their drugs from the formulary that will both treat their conditions and help them save.
- Ask their doctors about generic alternatives, free samples, or cheaper forms (tablets versus caplets, for example) of the medications in question.
- Use Costco's pharmacy. Wholesalers can help you save big, and no membership is required for prescription purchases.
- Buy in bulk. You may be able to save by purchasing a 90-day supply of medication, rather than the standard 30-day prescription. Ask their doctors to write the prescriptions this way; this small effort can translate into big savings.
- Comparison-shop via phone. All pharmacies aren't necessarily equal when it comes to price. Call around to determine which pharmacy in your area offers the biggest savings.
- Use mail-order. If your folks' insurance company has a mail-order prescription program, it's sure to help you save. Plus, you can re-order without ever leaving home.
You can definitely help your parents cut their prescription drug costs with these strategies. They're still likely to shell out a lot -- high-priced pharmaceuticals seem here to stay -- but hopefully not enough to break the bank. Best of luck!

Gov. Jay Nixon has vetoed legislation aimed at keeping the names of people who committed offenses as juveniles off Missouri's public sex offender registry.
The governor said Wednesday the legislation is too broad and would apply to anyone regardless of the crime that was committed. Nixon says crime victims would have been deprived the chance to be heard before someone's name is removed from the public websites, which are aimed at protecting the public.
The vetoed legislation also ultimately would have allowed juveniles to petition the court for removal from the sex offender registry.

Teppy (Pharaoh) from the eGenesis team recently addressed the fans of A Tale in the Desert II. In this letter he tells about future plans as well as mention of a free weekend! Read it below:
|Citizens of Egypt,
As I write this, we're about to reach the 6-month mark of A Tale in the Desert II. It's been way too long since I've gotten a newsletter out, and so I though I'd take this opportunity to do just that.
First off, we have probably the biggest technology release yet, planned for this weekend. Seven different techs, along with the Test of Festivals. For this Tale, everything needed for all 7 Festivals will be released at once, and all of Egypt will be able to take part in the research.
As many of you have heard, we recently announced our second game, which we're doing with author Orson Scott Card. The Tales of Alvin Maker will take place in "an America that might have been", one where folk magic works, and like A Tale in the Desert, your impact on the world is real. The first book in the series is "Seventh Son", and I promise that you will find it a true masterpiece. I can't express how thrilled I am to be heading up this project.
If you'd like to stop by and say hello to some old friends this weekend, do join us for the festivities. All accounts will be open, for free, for the whole weekend.
I'll be out in San Francisco all of next week for the Game Developers Conference. I know that many fellow game developers subscribe to this list, so if you'd like to hear about our design methodology, plan to attend my lecture "Building the Impossible", on Friday 4:00PM - 5:00PM. I'll also be a panelist at Experimental Gameplay Workshop on Thursday, starting at 4:00PM.
On the Nile,
Teppy (Pharaoh)
and the rest of the eGenesis crew


text: TREB appeals tribunal decision The Toronto Real Estate Board is appealing the decision by the Competition Tribunal that would force the board to release its sold and pending sold data, citing privacy concerns. "This order provides little protection for the consumer and opens the door to misuse and abuse of their sensitive personal financial information and the content of an Agreement of Purchase and Sale contract that has not closed. The consumer has privacy rights and only the consumer should be the one to determine, with clear understanding, when and where their personal financial information is disclosed," said John DiMichele, TREB's chief executive officer. The Competition Tribunal ordered TREB to release its data to the public in late June. However, according to TREB, privacy laws stipulate consent has to be given prior to the release of personal financial information, including sold prices for homes. "The issue for TREB is about duty of care and professional responsibility. TREB has grown to more than 45,000 Members across the GTA and does not discriminate between business models used by its Members. In fact, we welcome and support all innovation and business models," DiMichele said.

This article is taken from the book SharePoint 2010 Web Parts in Action. Learn how SharePoint 2010 has added web standards compliancy..

SharePoint 2010's web standards compliancy has changed a lot, compared to its predecessors. SharePoint 2010 now uses fully XHTML compliant code right out of the box, which allows for better browser compatibility and performance. To maintain this XHTML-compliant state, your Web Parts must conform to the XHTML standard. Using Standard ASP.NET controls will help you with this. However, there are a few rules to follow when using Visual Web Parts, LiteralControl controls, or your own HTML elements:
§ Elements can't be nested§ Elements can't be closed§ Element names must be in lowercase§ Attributes must be in lowercase§ Attributes must always have a value§ Attribute values must be enclosed with quotation marksAnother thing to consider: Avoid using for bold and for italics and similar. XHTML standards discourage the use of these types of elements. Move such formatting elements to the CSS definitions.
SharePoint 2010 is also, by default, WCAG 2.0 compliant. WCAG stands for Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines. WCAG 2.0 is a set of recommendations to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. The full guideline can be found at http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/. Listing 1 is a simple example of
how you can enhance your Web Part and use some of the WCAG 2.0 guidelines. Listing 1 Controls in a Web Part that is enhanced for accessibility
This listing contains a text box and a button. The button contains descriptive text and an AccessKey. TheAccessKey property allows you to use Alt+C to invoke the button click. This inclusion conforms to WCAG 2.0Guideline 2.1, which means that the control is keyboard accessible. The Web Part also contains a required field validator that makes sure the text box contains a value before clicking. If the control is empty, the code displays a friendly error message. This conforms to Guideline 3.3.1, Error Identification.Web Part Icons
Each Web Part can have two icons-one that identifies the Web Part in the Web Part Gallery and one that identifies the Web Part on a page. Highlight your icon is a quick, easy trick that usually requires no programming.
The Web Part definition contains two properties that specify the icons. The first property, CatalogIconImageUrl, specifies the URL to the location of the icon image file. The image must be a 16x16 pixel image in PNG, GIF or JPEG format. This icon is used in the Web Part Gallery to identify the Web Part, as shown below. This icon will help users find the Web Part.Using catalog icons for the Web Parts enhances the Web Part Gallery experience and makes it easier for the users to find the Web Parts.The second icon property is TitleIconImageUrl. This property shows an icon in the title bar of the Web Part (to the left of the Web Part title). The icon should be the same size and type as the catalog icon. This icon is just right in some situations but it can also affect the visual appearance of the Web Part in a negative way, if other Web Parts don't also have icons.You have the option of specifying icons in the Web Part Control Description file (.webpart) or by overriding the properties on your Web Part class. The easiest way is to modify the .webpart file.Before you can add an icon to your Web Part, you must first add the icon images to your Web Part project. You do so by adding the SharePoint Images Mapped Folder. Simply right clicking the project and then select Add > SharePoint Images Mapped folder. Visual Studio will add the folder to the project and create a subfolder (using the project name). Add the icon of your choice to that subfolder, as shown below.Images are added to the project using the SharePoint Images mapped folder. Visual Studio creates a sub folder using the name of your Project.After adding the icon(s), edit your Web Part Control Description file. You'll find this file inside your Web Part project item. The code in Listing 2 adds icon properties to the .webpart file. Listing 2: Gallery icon and title icon defined in the Web Parts Control Description file
WCAG 2.0 Web Part
The properties added to the Web Part Control Description file and the TitleIconImageUrl point to the location of the title icon image. CatalogIconImageUrl points to the location of the catalog icon image. In this case, they're the same.
To prohibit users from changing your icons and adding default icons, override the two properties in your Web Part class. Edit the setter of the properties to do nothing and the getters to return a constant location to the icon image files.

Jim bought me some roses last Monday, and all week they served as a little "Day Brightener." Everytime I would look at them or smell them (and boy, did they smell sweet!) I would be reminded of my hubbies sweet love for me, and it always brightened my day.
I'm going to share one with you...perhaps it will brighten your day, too.

Rep. Lois Capps, D-Santa Barbara, on Tuesday released the following statement in response to President Barack Obama's announcement that he will direct federal agencies to develop a comprehensive program aimed at deterring illegal fishing, addressing seafood fraud, and preventing illegally caught fish from entering the marketplace by increasing seafood traceability and transparency:
"I commend the president for taking action today to combat seafood fraud and illegal fishing, which is putting Central Coast consumers at risk and undercutting our local fishers who follow the rules.
"Seafood fraud directly impacts Central Coast consumers, small businesses, and fishers, and action is needed. That is why I led my colleagues in pushing the administration to take action on this important issue. Central Coast fishers, conservation groups and the federal government have worked together in recent years to increase the sustainability of Central Coast fisheries, and today's announcement will help support and protect that effort going forward."
Capps spearheaded a letter last fall urging the president to initiate an interagency rulemaking that "improves agency coordination and communication, strengthens border inspections to detect mislabeled seafood, establishes a standard for national traceability of seafood products, and ensures that consumers have access to information about where their seafood comes from."
Capps is also the lead sponsor of bipartisan legislation (House Resolution 1012) that would establish traceability standards and strengthen interagency coordination and enforcement to combat seafood fraud.
— Chris Meagher is the press secretary for Rep. Lois Capps, D-Santa Barbara.

A tub drain assembly is the pipe assembly that includes the overflow and main drain stopper components on a bathtub. Most tub drain assemblies utilize a toe touch, push-pull, lift-and-turn, flip-it, pop-up or plunger-style main drain stopper.
Tub stoppers can be repaired or replaced, but homeowners need to first identify the type of stopper before proceeding:
- Toe touch
- Push-pull
- Lift-and-turn
- Flip-it
- Pop-up
- Plunger
Toe touch stoppers open and close by pushing down on them. To remove this type of stopper, turn the top counter-clockwise while it is in the open position. The assembly should screw out.
These stoppers have a knob that the user pushes down and pulls up to open and close. To remove this type of stopper, unscrew the top knob and brass insert and pull out the stopper. The remaining drain body needs to be removed with a drain key.
These stoppers look like the push-push option, but they require the user to turn the knob to lock it in place. They are removed in the same way as the push-pull options.
These stoppers have a toggle that opens and closes the stopper, and they are easily removed by pulling them out of the drain.
These stoppers utilize a trip lever on the overflow that opens and closes the drain. With the lever in the open position, wiggle slightly and pull straight up to remove the stopper.
Plunger-style stoppers also use a trip lever but they typically do not include a visible stopper in the drain. Remove these by unscrewing the cover plate from the face plate and pulling the trip lever out of the pipe assembly.

Clinton Finally Expresses 'Support' for Saudi Women Drivers

Although Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has championed women's rights from Azerbaijan to Zambia, it took her weeks to respond to an appeal to publicly support a campaign by Saudi women to be permitted to drive.
Even then, her comments on Tuesday came not of her own initiative, but in response to a question at a press availability – and after Saudi women activists and journalists had questioned her public silence on the subject.
In her answer, Clinton signaled once again the Obama administration's sensitivity about the U.S. being seen to be preaching change to a non-Western culture – and to an important U.S. ally. She repeatedly stressed that the driving campaign was coming from Saudi women themselves.
"I am moved by it and I support them, but I want to underscore the fact that this is not coming from outside of their country," she said.
"We have raised this issue at the highest level of the Saudi government," Clinton continued. "We've made clear our views that women everywhere, including women in the kingdom, have the right to make decisions about their lives and their futures. They have the right to contribute to society and to provide for their children and their families. And mobility, such as provided by the freedom to drive, provides access to economic opportunity, including jobs, which does fuel growth and stability."
