Fun with Applicatives, Pt. IIIWelcome back. This time we're going to wrap up our series on
Applicatives by taking a look into command line option parsing. Using the optparse-applicative package, we'll add flexibility to roller's CLI. Optparse-applicative leverages
Applicative to separate the handling of options parsing from the actual function that uses those options. It also provides some niceties like creating our program's help banner.
Let's get started and see how it works.
Option parsingHere's what we want to accomplish. If we ask roller what it does (
$ roller -h), we should get back a usage message like this one.
So we can use our program to roll a dice expression multiple times:
Usage: roller [-v|--verbose] [-n|--nrolls ARG] EXPR..
Roll some dice
Available options:
-h,--help Show this help text
-v,--verbose List out each roll
-n,--nrolls ARG Number of times to roll the expression
EXPR.. Dice expressions
Or, give us the actual values of each die roll generated:
$ roller -n 3 2d10+2
Or, even both:
$ roller -v 2d10+2
Pretty simple, eh? Now that we know what we're out to accomplish, we can start using the option parsing package and applicatives to make it happen, but first a quick detour.
$ roller -v -n2 2d10+2
MonoidsOptparse-applicative makes use of
Applicatives, but also
Monoids, so it's worth taking a quick look into to those as well.
Monoid is a type equipped with a binary operation which is associative, along with a special element of the set which acts as the identity for the operation. Typically the operation can be thought of as some sort of combining or appending.
The important bit is really that this operation is closed in the mathematical sense. That is if we combine two things of type X together, we get back an X. This new value can then be combined with another X, and so on, recursively. Such a closed operation affords us a lot of flexibility to build up interesting values by repeatedly combining smaller parts. If you're coming from an OO background, think of this as similar to the composite pattern.
We'll be treating option specifications monoidally: combining small specific options together until the result has the specific behavior we're after. So if we know we want to recognize an option like
--foo, which has a short form
-f, we can do that quite easily by combining two primitive specs into a combined one^:
^1 Not the real type, optparse-applicative uses it's own internal type here, but logically we're just building up an option specification
l, s, myOpt :: OptionSpec -- ^1
l = long "foo"
s = short 'f'
myOpt = l <> s
Separation of concernsOnce we have a way to describe the individual flags we are concerned with, we want to have an abstract way to provide these values to the function that implements our application logic. Ideally, we can write our application in terms of the types that our application cares about, without having to deal with options at all.
What does that mean for our application? We want to support having a switch that determines whether or not to give verbose output. We also need to have a flag which takes the number of values to produce. These values can be represented with a simple boolean and an integer. Further, we will need to accept the remaining arguments as the string representation of our dice expressions. Ultimately we want to write a function which takes these simple types and does something with them, i.e. our application will have the following type:
Once we have a function of type
type CLI a = Bool -> Int -> [String] -> a
CLI a, we can use the usual strategy of using
Applicative to lift our function into something that looks like this:
Opt Bool -> Opt Int -> Opt [String] -> Opt a
Opt is just a fake type standing in for the libraries internal type representation for option parsers. We'll let it handle stringing together the different parsers, and just worry about implementing the
Putting this all together, we arrive at
withOpts :: CLI a -> IO a
withOpts f = execParser . info (helper <*> handleOpts) $ infoMod
handleOpts =
f <$> switch ( long "verbose"
<> short 'v'
<> help "List out each roll")
<*> option ( long "nrolls"
<> value 1
<> short 'n'
<> help "Number of times to roll the expression")
<*> arguments1 str (metavar "EXPR.." <> help "Dice expressions")
infoMod = fullDesc <> progDesc "Roll some dice"
withOpts takes the function which implements our logic as a parameter. It lifts that function
f using the
Applicative combinators into a function that operates over option parsers. Each argument between the
(<*>) operator describes how the option should be handled by gluing together basic parsers using monoidal combinations. Then we apply our passed in function. The
execParser . info (helper <*> handleOpts) bit just shuffles the types around to give the library what it expects, but the important part is in
It's worth noting this pattern of passing in the function
f. It would be nice if we could just have a reference to the combined arguments, but
switch … <*> option … wouldn't be well-typed. If anyone knows another way around this limitation, please let us know!
Wrapping upNow that we have our combinator that takes a
CLI description, we need to implement one that makes roller do what we want. Check out this definition of
Notice that we don't have to worry about options here at all. We just need to wrap this function inside of a call to
rollEm :: CLI (IO ())
rollEm verbose n args = maybe parseFail rollMany (parse input)
input = concat args
rollMany = replicateM_ n . rollOnce
rollOnce exp = fmap summary (roll exp) >>= putStrLn
summary = if verbose then show else show . sumRolls
sumRolls = sum . map sum
parseFail = putStrLn $ "Could not parse \"" ++ input ++ "\" as dice expression!"
withOpts and then deal directly with primitive types for
n and
withOpts takes
CLI (IO ()) to
IO (IO ()), we need to use
join to untangle the actions and get back to
IO (), which is a little messy, but it works great.
So, we've accomplished to write some nice concise code to implement a cool little tool. We we're able to use
main :: IO ()
main = join . withOpts $ rollEm
Applicatives in at least three different ways; and hopefully, have picked up some usefull tricks along the way.
Hope you've enjoyed this little tour. You can find a copy of the roller code on Github. If you have any questions, or just want to tell us what you thought of the series, let us know in the comments. Thanks for following along.

I HAVE BEEN STRIPPED BY THE LORD HAVE YOU?" ~Minister LaTascha Emanuel
Above is the Street Ministry shirts which are really beautiful if you see them within the context of evangelism.
There is a viral video (FEMALE PREACHER Who Preaches With Her TIDDAYS OUT) spreading on social media about a female Preacher, Minister LaTascha Emanuel where she says she is preaching from "the Stripper's pole."
LaTascha's official YouTube page seems to be terminated for now. On one part she seems to be good at preaching, on the other part her body is preaching another thing altogether. I wonder what her congregation would be focusing on whether her bodily appearances or the Word.
Who is LaTascha Emanuel?
LaTascha Emanuel says "My greatest ministry is being a wife and mother; both are extremely challenging however the rewards run deep."
According to her Facebook, that is why a majority of her ministry is dedicated to women and children. She believes that the world has enough life coaches and not enough people whose "life coaches."
She serves as an associate Minister at Perfecting the Saints Family Worship Center under the teaching of Pastors Marion and Bea Wade. She is the youngest daughter of Patricia Broxton-Peterkin and Odell Bradley. She was raised in Panama City, FL however curiosity found her in Savannah, GA shortly after graduating high school working full time NOT doing the will of God. It was only when she was lead to Fayetteville, NC where she knew a higher power than what she could fathom was at work. It was here where she had her daughter, was saved by grace, got married, found Honorable Helpmate her wedding coordinating business, became a licensed Minister/Evangelist, started her street ministry and is in the process of opening A.A.W.G a center for women. Her heart is for the hurt, oppressed, depressed and bound but she has a special place in her heart for women and children and vows to go anywhere God calls her. She is on fire for the lord and not ashamed, she is "Radical with Results" She is LaTascha Emanuel!

However, new games and new experiences came out that rejuvenated us by breaking from what once was, but remaining familiar. Maid: RPG was like Wushu (which we tried and hated) done right, and we loved it. D&D 4e was a new way to play D&D, and we loved it.

So population...I dunno. I've never been good at speaking for any sizable portion of anything because I have the empathy of a can of soup.

As someone who never hung out at FLGS as a teen, and who has never been to any RPG 'Cons; I've known very few GMs. In college, there was one other whom I knew - it was the first time I was ever a player in a game. Then in grad school I met two more (whom I also gamed with). So, in total - 'true' GMs? I would say I've known a whopping three. There have been the odd games where players of mine have asked to run a game, which I encourage - but so far they all jump back into the player's seat after 3 or 4 sessions DMing citing "fer fucks sakes that's a lot of work..."

The top 10 tech and science stories of 2013 December 27, 2013 at 8:26 am
As 2013 draws to a close, I want to highlight the year's 10 most important tech and science firsts. The list is in no particular order, because it's impossible to compare breakthroughs that impact wildly different domains. Some of these firsts are awesome intermediary steps towards the realization of an amazing end goal, and some are fully developed technologies that were launched this year and are already changing the world. The one common thread that weaves these 10 stories together is that they're all incredibly significant to the future of technology and science and humankind — and remember, you read about them first on ExtremeTech.
Magnetic fields could super-cool your gaming PC, nuclear reactors November 21, 2013 at 12:38 pm
Now a team of researchers are using this fundamental fact, along with a strong magnetic field and a few billion metal nanoparticles, to make liquid coolant systems many times more effective.
Japan finally admits to needing help containing Fukushima leaks October 9, 2013 at 8:02 am

Scientists will use cosmic rays to peer inside Fukushima reactor August 23, 2013 at 7:31 am
Muons created in the upper atmosphere will let researchers from Los Alamos National Labs see the state of the heavily shielded core of the damaged and dangerous Fukushima reactor. The researchers are using cosmic rays to create what is essentially an X-ray of the core's damage.
Good news, space colonists! Researchers have figured out how radiation damages spacecraft hulls August 7, 2013 at 9:00 am
By carefully observing magnesium atoms, scientists may have learned how voids in materials are formed by radiation. This could lead to better spacecraft for long term missions, and safer power plants.
Thorium nuclear reactor trial begins, could provide cleaner, safer, almost-waste-free energy July 1, 2013 at 2:32 pm
At a test site in Norway, Thor Energy has successfully created a thorium nuclear reactor — but not in the sense that most people think of when they hear the word thorium. The Norwegians haven't solved the energy crisis and global warming in one fell swoop — they haven't created a cold fusion thorium reactor. What they have done, though, which is still very cool, is use thorium instead of uranium in a conventional nuclear reactor. In one fell swoop, thorium fuel, which is safer, less messy to clean up, and not prone to nuclear weapons proliferation, could quench the complaints of nuclear power critics everywhere.
'Supergreen' hydrogen creation could capture carbon from the air and de-acidify the oceans May 28, 2013 at 10:02 am
A team from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory claims to have found a method of saline water electrolysis that can both capture CO2 from the atmosphere and use that carbon to neutralize ocean acidification.
Looming mass nuclear plant retirement will push US towards total fossil fuel dependency April 9, 2013 at 12:07 pm

Crane Co. Reports Strong Second Quarter Results; Increases Dividend 7%; Adjusts 2013 EPS Guidance To $4.10-$4.25, Excluding Special Items
Crane Co. (NYSE: CR), a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered industrial products, reported second quarter 2013 earnings of $0.93 per diluted share, compared to $1.07 in the second quarter of 2012. Second quarter 2013 results included transaction-related costs of $7.3 million, or $0.13 per share, related to the pending acquisition of MEI Conlux Holdings. Second quarter 2012 results included a $0.31 per share gain associated with divestitures, partially offset by $0.20 per share of repositioning charges. Excluding Special Items in both years, second quarter 2013 earnings per diluted share increased 10% to $1.06, compared to $0.96 in the second quarter of 2012. (Please see the attached Non-GAAP Financial Measures table.)
Second quarter 2013 sales of $648.7 million decreased $8.9 million, or 1.4%, compared to $657.7 million in the second quarter of 2012, resulting from a core sales decline of $5.9 million, or 0.9%, and unfavorable foreign exchange of $3.0 million, or 0.5%.
Operating profit in the second quarter increased 28.1% to $88.8 million, compared to $69.4 million in the second quarter of 2012. Excluding Special Items, second quarter operating profit increased 13.8% to $95.7 million, compared to $84.1 million in the second quarter of 2012, and operating profit margin increased to 14.8%, compared to 12.8% in the second quarter of 2012. (Please see the attached Non-GAAP Financial Measures table.)
"We are pleased to report second quarter EPS of $1.06 per share, excluding the MEI transaction costs," said Crane Co. chief executive officer, Eric C. Fast. "On a slight decline in revenues, total Company operating margins expanded 200 basis points to a record 14.8%, led by solid execution in our Fluid Handling segment and strong productivity across the Company. Based on our expectation of record earnings this year and confidence in the future, we have increased our quarterly dividend by 7%. In connection with the pending acquisition of MEI, as previously reported, we are in negotiations with Bain Capital and Advantage Partners, the representatives of the owners of MEI, concerning the economic effects related to remedies required by the European Commission involving two Crane Payment Systems product lines."

Textbooks | News
In a draft paper, Morgan Polikoff, an assistant professor in the University of Southern California's Rossier School of Education, analyzed several math textbooks currently in use in fourth grade classrooms in Florida and found them misaligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
In his most stringent analysis, Polikoff found that only "27 percent to 38 percent of the textbooks' content is in perfect proportional agreement with the CCSS." Using a less rigorous definition of alignment that uses the standards as a reference and does not require proportional agreement, Polikoff found that between 63 percent and 79 percent of textbook content was aligned to the standards.
When flipping the analysis so that the textbooks were the reference, Polikoff found similar numbers, ranging from 70-76 percent alignment, though when ranking the textbooks this way, the order "is nearly the opposite of the rank ordering on the previously mentioned indices," wrote Polikoff in the paper. "That is, textbooks in which a larger proportion of the content comes from the standards are not necessarily the textbooks that cover the largest proportion of standards content."
In looking for the source of the misalignment, Polikoff found that the texts were approximately evenly split in misaligned topics and misaligned cognitive demand.
"The cognitive demand analysis indicates that each of the three CCSS-aligned textbooks and Saxon emphasizes memorization and procedures overwhelmingly," wrote Polikoff, with those categories representing between 88 and 93 percent of total content though the CCSS calls for just 60 percent of content to focus on those processes.
Conversely, although "almost one-third of the standards content calls for students to demonstrate understanding, just 7 percent to 12 percent of the textbooks' content is at this level," wrote Polikoff, and there is "essentially zero" content focused on the two top levels of cognitive demand despite their 11 percent representation in the standards.
Polikoff analyzed seven math textbooks designed for fourth-grade classrooms that are currently in use in Florida. Three of the textbooks analyzed are "Common-Core aligned," three were earlier versions of those books and the seventh is not specifically aligned with any standards. Florida was chosen because it is one of the only states that collects textbook adoption data by district and because it's "a statewide textbook adoption state and a large state that likely influences the content in textbooks nationwide," according to the paper.

My two boys (ages 9 and 7) had a great time playing this game together, although it was completed in about 6-8 hours of gameplay. One player gets to be the little boy from the film, and the other is the old man. They had to work together, which caused a little bit of yelling at each other ("C'...more

When I walked out of the umpires' tunnel and onto the field to watch batting practice as a part of the Washington Nationals' annual Blogger Night, I was in awe. I felt that way partly because of the enormity of the stands towering over me, and partly because being on the field in the ballpark I love, feet away from my favorite baseball players is probably the coolest experience I have ever had in my 18 years of life.
However, more than my being star-struck, that feeling of awe accompanied a sense of surprise. I have been on or around the field during baseball practice for both my high school and college teams. While the balls during BP yesterday were certainly being hit harder and farther than I ever witnessed at one of those practices, the dynamic between the players was almost entirely the same. They were just a bunch of guys hanging out on a baseball field, laughing, talking, and spitting seeds just like any other team. I think so often people give so much focus to the insane talent that these players have, that in our heads they become larger than life, and we forget that they are actually real people. Certainly you can like a player for the simple fact that he is talented and nothing more, but during this opportunity to get an inside look into this team, I found that there are a lot more reasons to be a Nationals fan than what initially meets the eye.
If you are reading this blog, it more than likely means that you are a fan of the Nationals. You might listen to the games on the radio, watch them on TV, or even occasionally drive down to D.C. to attend one in person. You know the players' names, their positions, their batting averages. But the knowledge level of the average fan stops around there. Bob Carpenter can read you all the stats in the world during his broadcast of a game, but it's what you don't see on TV that really makes this team great.
What you don't see in that broadcast is the sincerity in Gio Gonzalez's eyes when he says he can't bear to ever turn away a kid asking for an autograph. So because of his big heart, he has to wear headphones while he is warming up to pitch so he can focus.
What you don't see is the usually stony-faced Adam LaRoche giving his cell phone number to a triple amputee from a group of Wounded Warriors. You don't see him saying "call me any time" after showing the soldiers around the clubhouse and hanging out with them while they hit in the batting cages. You don't see the level of respect that Nationals Senior Director of Community Relations Israel Negron clearly has for LaRoche when he says, "Adam saw [the soldiers] right away as real people," and not as damaged goods.
You can read about what a "cocky jerk" Bryce Harper is, but what you probably don't know is that the people who interact with Harper daily couldn't disagree more with the general perceptions of him. Shaking his head, Negron said: "I've seen what other people write about him and honestly, I'm curious about who they're talking about…Bryce is incredibly humble."
You can hear about how first baseman Tyler Moore is being made to play in the outfield when he has hardly any experience in that position. But, what you don't know is that even though at first he felt like he "was playing in the dang Grand Canyon" out there, he practices reading the ball in the outfield literally every day so that he can make his teammates and the fans proud.
So many of the great things about this team that give it so much character go completely unnoticed. So many people only see how they act on the field, when how they act off the field is really where you can fall in love with them.
Seeing the team up close yesterday and interacting with the people who know them made these players mean more to me than they ever have before. I'll cheer for them in a new way now, knowing that they are regular guys, good guys, who happen to get to play baseball in front of thousands of people for a living.
I'm so thankful that I was able to see all those usually unseen things yesterday, and that I am now able to tell people about them. Because this really is a special team, on the field and off.

Live your Unitarian Universalist values out loud. Make your year-end gift today!
About Us
Press Room
Page Navigation
In "Gather the Spirit," a Tapestry of Faith program
Invite participants to make a collage of different ways that they give and receive care and protection to other people, animals and plants that share our Earth.
Point out that care and protection of our Earth and all life is called "stewardship." Mention that some of us have jobs or chores that involve care and protection. Suggest younger siblings, other relatives, friends, pets or house plants might be some likely care-and-protection recipients. Tell the group they can cut out or draw images to show how care and protection are exchanged. Encourage artists to think of all the ways care is exchanged.
Explain where and with whom participants will work, how much time they have and where you will display the finished collages.
Move around the room and speak with participants as they work. Be ready to crouch down to make comfortable eye contact with someone who is seated, or small. Prompt them to share from their lives; help them identify what they give in their care-and-protection relationships, and what they receive—for example, friendship, the happy greeting of dog's wagging tail, the pleased purring of a cat.
Leave time for clean-up, posting the collages and sharing.
When collecting magazines for this activity, seek out publications that show a diversity of socio-economic class, ethnicity and lifestyles to ensure all participants can recognize themselves in the images you provide.

Volkswagen Phaeton Saloon full 9 point review
The only engine available in the Phaeton is a 236bhp 3.0 V6 TDI diesel unit. It offers a good mix of power, performance and low running costs, and comes with four-wheel drive and an automatic transmission as standard.
Ride & Handling
The standard air-sprung suspension is adjustable for both firmness and ride height, but the Phaeton doesn't ride as well as some newer rivals. Body control in corners is pretty impressive – especially given the car's size and weight – but the speed-sensitive steering is disconcertingly numb.
Criticising the Phaeton here is just nit-picking. Mostly, it's very quiet, although the diesel engine can be a little noisy when you're pressing on. Despite double-glazing, a small amount of wind noise penetrates, but it's only noticeable because the engine and tyres are so hushed.
Buying & Owning
The Phaeton is expensive to service and both models fall into the top band for company car tax. In addition, resale values are awful because the VW badge isn't desirable enough at this end of the market. The Phaeton makes far more sense as a used buy than as a new one.
Quality & Reliability
Inside, you get lots of leather and wood, but the design of the cabin feels distinctly dated and the switchgear isn't as classy as that in rivals. In fact, the far cheaper Golf hatchback is more appealing inside. Volkswagen's reliability record is good rather than great.
Safety & Security
Twin front and side airbags are joined by full-length curtain airbags mounted above the doors. Side impact protection is further enhanced for rear passengers by side airbags. Hugely powerful brakes and five types of electronic driver's aids are on hand to rein in the Phaeton should things start to get out of hand.
Behind The Wheel
Electric adjustability of the sumptuous seats and steering wheel means all manner of shapes and sizes can dial in the perfect driving position. The sheer number of gadgets can be distracting, though.
Space & Practicality
Like most luxury cars, the Phaeton has loads of luggage space and an enormous cabin; there are standard (5055mm-long) and long-wheelbase (5175mm) variants, but even the shorter model is hugely roomy. On the down side, Volkswagen doesn't offer the vast range of rear-seat comfort features that rivals do.
The list of standard equipment is as long as you'd expect. However, notable attractions include four-zone climate control, satellite-navigation, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a CD changer and a digital radio.

Paul Michael Bracamontes, who may have been hallucinating about zombies before he was fatally shot Sunday, was a hard-working student who didn't use drugs, according to some.
YORBA LINDA – Conscientious college student or hallucinating home invader?
That's the conflicting picture emerging of 22-year-old Cal State Fullerton student Paul Michael Bracamontes, who was shot to death early Sunday by a Yorba Linda homeowner during what appeared to be a bizarre break-in.
"It's so crazy that this could have happened," Bracamontes' sister Krystal Preciado said in a phone interview from her home in Oakhurst, near Yosemite National Park.
Around 3:15 a.m. Sunday, a couple who live in a home in the 5100 block of Wendover Road were awakened by Bracamontes yelling and screaming in their backyard, officials with the Orange County Sheriff's Department said.
Then Bracamontes shattered a rear sliding-glass door and entered the residence, where he was shot by the man, according to the Sheriff's Department.
The couple, who are the parents of a young child who was also in the home at the time, weren't injured and told detectives they didn't know Bracamontes and had never seen him before.
A motive for the break-in hasn't been determined and an investigation is ongoing.
An American flag hangs in front of the couple's single-story, brick façade home.
A Register reporter went to the home Wednesday but no one answered the door. A neighbor said the couple moved in about six weeks ago.
Preciado said she doesn't hold a grudge against the man who killed her brother.
"I wish they would have shot him in the legs, but he was probably really scared and trying to protect his family," she said.
Investigators are looking into reports that Bracamontes was behaving strangely at a party Saturday evening.
Family members indicated that Bracamontes was hallucinating at the party and made comments regarding "zombies" and wanting a gun, the Sheriff's Department said. They also said Bracamontes left the party and had not been seen or heard from since.
Investigators are awaiting the results of a toxicology test to determine whether Bracamontes was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the break-in.

doing little and nothing...
After the week we have had, the best medicine for poorly people is fresh air - doing little and nothing.
One of our favourite family places to play is our local National Trust property Tyntesfield. A place we can relax, know the lie of the land, every hill, tree and blade of grass. Perfect for chilling, tree climbing, rolling down hills and general silliness.
We collected fir cones for future Christmas decorations, found the perfect spot for rolling, and played hoopla in the garden.
It felt good to laugh.

Tiny Room, Big Flavors
Spanish chef delivers tempting tapas in Riverside
887 Stockton St., Riverside
Caron Streibich covers dining out throughout Northeast Florida. If you have information about new restaurant openings, menu changes or other food-related news, contact her here. Streibich is also the host of our regular Folio Weekly Bite Club gatherings. Follow the Bite Club on Facebook or Twitter to learn more about it.
Three years ago, when notorious Food Network host Guy Fieri of "Diners,
Drive-ins and Dives" rode into historic Riverside to film an episode at already-popular 13 Gypsies, he catapulted the tiny restaurant onto the larger culinary map. Reservations are highly recommended (even for lunch), since there are only a handful of tables and just two chefs. And while the restaurant itself may be small, the tapas-style offerings are huge on variety and flavor.
Owner and chef Howard Kirk, who grew up in Spain, ensures that his Spanish dishes are created from scratch with quality ingredients. All of the bread is made in-house each morning. While items may be slightly pricey, it's worth the splurge for date night or a small dinner with friends. You've been warned: Popular menu items sell out. Share a carafe of fruity red wine sangria or unwind by ordering a glass of vino from the wine list.
If you order just one item (and you'll want to order several, trust me!), the risotto of the day is always a must. Made from short-grain Arborio rice, it's thick, creamy and perfectly cooked. On a recent visit, I all but licked our plate of pork shoulder risotto clean.
Another frontrunner is the Mushroom Seville. Pieces of toast topped with a light spread of goat cheese are served with a cup of creamy brandy, garlic and herb sauce chockfull of sautéed mushrooms, perfect for spooning onto the toast.
The shrimp, sautéed in olive oil, garlic and crushed red pepper, proved to be a simple yet flavorful dish with a little kick. With five jumbo shrimp, there were enough to share.
One unique tapas on a list of more than two dozen is the Roman-style gnocchi: Rectangular planks of flat Semolina flour gnocchi are pan-seared, then topped with a garlicky cream sauce, sautéed mushrooms and a generous sprinkling of freshly grated cheeses.
Relatively new to the menu are the savory crêpes. With five to choose from, it's hard to go wrong. We enjoyed the ham and cheese — creamy flavorful Alfredo-like cheese and pieces of Black Forest ham rolled up in a delicate crêpe.
Save room for traditional Spanish desserts like flan or the tres leches cake made by pastry chef Toni "Mama" Kirk. The spongy tres leches, soaked with a trio of milks, is a luscious way to end your tapas feast.

What Readers Are Saying...
Finding Faith in Slow Motion
is a beautifully written piece of work!"
Finding Faith
Slow Motion
Faith is neither static nor instantaneous. It is not something we stumble upon and instantly understand. Neither is it a monolithic, one-dimensional, singular entity that has but one face, one color, one fragrance. It is many-faceted, multi-dimensional, and appears differently depending on one's angle to the Sun (Son).
In Finding Faith in Slow Motion, Gray examines faith from myriad angles and through gut-wrenching life experiences, as he asks regarding faith, "What is that stuff?" Spanning the emotional gamut from laughter to tears, Gray challenges us to define our faith and redefine it, to look at it from a multitude of perspectives and define it again. The writing is intentionally evocative and playful, offering the reader the ability to identify with Gray as he wrestles with the weighty subject matter of finding faith.

Market research report summaries give a snapshot of current mobile access and provide a near-term telecoms outlook for Sub-Saharan African markets.
African ICT-themed video clips from August and September 2013 revolve around LTE, online business, and challenges facing South Africa.
Video is a great way to experience how Africans are accessing the internet. Top clips from June-July 2013 revolve around mobile and broadband.
Highlights from the LTE Africa conference held in July 2013 include statistics, outlook, and recommendations for industry players.
A report from Ericsson finds the overall picture for global mobile broadband growth to be rosy, but what does it mean for Africa?
Smartphones still cost at least $50 and service charges put 3G out of reach for most, even if the service is technically available. LTE, therefore, will be out of reach for 99.9% of Africans.

It's a distinction only three of a total of more than 3,600 teachers this year hold, and the brightest, most creative and most resourceful teachers in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System were recognized yesterday, May 4, for their ability to think outside the box and reach the unreachable.
At the district 2011 Teacher of the Year reception, sponsored in part by Neighbors Federal Credit Union and Volunteers In Public Schools, Earlisha Whitfield of Ryan Elementary School, Deborah Facey of Westdale Middle School and Dana Lux of Tara High School were named the school district's 2011 Teachers of the Year – one for each level.
Before she even knew she had won the district award, Whitfield already had been named a 2011 Regional Teacher of the Year winner, as officials found out just prior to the district awards ceremony. Now Whitfield will participate as a finalist in the 2011 Louisiana Teacher of the Year Awards Program, co-sponsored by the Louisiana Department of Education and the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. The annual event is designed to recognize and honor outstanding elementary, middle, and high school teachers from each local school system throughout the state. The state winners will be decided this summer.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER OF THE YEAREARLISHA WHITFIELD – RYAN ELEMENTARYJacobe Johnson, one of Whitfield's students, wrote, "I think Mrs. Whitfield should be the teacher of the year because since the second grade I wanted to be in her class. My sister was in her class, and Mrs. Whitfield was her favorite teacher. Now she is my favorite teacher, because her class is so fun." Whitfield said at the end of the school day, many of her students exclaim "It's time to go home already?!" Growing up, she faced many academic struggles and often thought that life was not fair. She knew early on that she wanted to become a teacher to ensure that although life may not be fair, through dedicated and passionate teachers education can be fair. Whitfield has six years of teaching experience.
MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER OF THE YEARDEBORAH FACEY – WESTDALE MIDDLE SCHOOLFacey said she finally took up the "family business" and became a certified teacher at the age of 40. She feels she has found her calling and knew she was doing something right when a student requested that Facey continue to be her Math teacher right up until the time she graduates from school. Facey believes that her ability to establish a rapport with her students, and create a classroom climate where not just Math but learning in general becomes relevant, is her greatest accomplishment. She demonstrated her commitment to her students when she began to volunteer her time one day after school to tutor students in Math. Due to the program's success, her afterschool tutoring program is still operating today – now at three times a week.
HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER OF THE YEARDANA TODD LUX - TARA HIGH SCHOOLWith Lux's influence, Tara High School begins each day with one minute of music over the intercom. Lux said that while the music is playing, she notices students smiling. After the music plays, students begin to play the game "Name that Tune." It's a great boost to an early start for teenagers and the morning announcements. Lux is Tara High's Choral Music teacher and believes that music can help motivate students to stay in school because it allows them an escape, a place where they can express themselves in ways that words cannot. Her message to the community regarding education is that flexibility is the key component to accountability. Neither teachers nor students fall into the category of one size fits all, she said. Lux has 17 years of teaching experience.

So true gonna be there at 8am for the doors opening.Made the mistake last year of heading in at lunchtime-all the shelfs were stripped bare of all the good stuff and people were just about rolling around on the floor fighting each other for what little was left.
I asked a member of staff if they would be putting more stock out and she said "we're leaving that to the nightshift-would you get involved in that?" and pointed at the scrum in the toy aisle and I could see where she was coming from.
I've moved and can now just about see the Sainsburys from my house so alarm set for half 7 and let the games begin!

West Nile Virus in Horses
Horse owners should have their veterinarian vaccinate their horses as soon as possible to inoculate the animals against West Nile virus.
Saying it is not too late to protect horses from the rapidly spreading virus, CVMA president Jon Klingborg, DVM emphasized, "The only sure way to protect your horse from West Nile virus is to practice mosquito control and vaccinate." The initial dose of vaccine must be followed with a second dose three to six weeks later and then with yearly boosters, but it's not too late to protect horses for at least part of this year's mosquito season.
The CVMA recommends that owners contact their veterinarians to have their horses vaccinated. It is important to ensure the vaccine has been handled properly and is administered correctly. Horse owners should not attempt to vaccinate their horses themselves, in part because of the following reasons:
In addition to vaccination by a veterinarian, horse owners should practice mosquito control by eliminating breeding sites like standing water in buckets, wheelbarrows, pastures, and non-aerated ponds. Horse owners can also keep their horses in stables at dawn and dusk (peek mosquito feeding times) and use fans, flysheets, and insecticide misting systems to deter the vectors.
Clinical signs of West Nile virus in horses include stumbling, staggering, wobbly gait, circling, hind limb weakness, inability to stand, paralysis, and death. Only one out of four affected horses develops a fever. West Nile Virus cannot be transmitted to humans from horses, nor can it be transmitted from horse to horse or to other animals by infected horses. It is only transmitted by infected mosquitoes.
