This is Congressman Chris Van Hollen, the man that represents our district on the Hill. He’s got our heartfelt thanks and gratitude.
Do you want to know why? My wife and her students had to suffer for seven months at her piano studio — without heat in the winter and without air conditioning in the summer [...]
Please accept my apologies for the several recent outages on this and my other sites. During the past week, my sites have had 5 extended outages, each lasting anywhere from 1 to 10 hours, and all due to the unbelievable incompetence of 1and1’s web admins. Somehow they’ve managed to screw things up so badly that [...]

Finally called them 7 days later — remember, Priority Mail is supposed to be a 2-3 day delivery — told them I had a shipping/label [...]

Apparently outgoing PM Berlusconi promised 1,000 euros to all babies born in 2005, but forgot to mention only Italian babies would qualify. Now the government’s asking immigrant families to return the money… (!) [...]
I do web design and development consulting in my free time. I always strive for quality and originality in my designs. It never fails to amaze me how people always fall for cheap, imitative designs, simply because they’re flashier.
These “web designers” promise more traffic, more exposure, better looks, more and better everything, and of course [...]
The seller was going to send it by priority mail but I requested...
