Love fractured fairy tales? Love fairy tales for older readers? Then you'll love "The Stepsister's Tale" by Tracy Barrett. It's a beautiful and extremely clever retelling of "Cinderella" from the point of view of the stepsister, who (no spoiler here) really isn't that wicked. Not at all.
What's brilliant about Barrett's retelling is how she perfectly fits in all the points from the original Cinderella story, even including the younger stepsister's gluttony and the toe and heel cutting from the original rather grim Grimm tale. As I said, it's really rather brilliant. It's also quite a delightful read.
Isabella becomes Cinder-Ella during the bitter cold winter when there is no wood left to keep the family warm, and she sits in the cinders of the fire trying to keep warm. Her stepsisters, Jane and Maude, and her stepmother were from an illustrious family whose wealth was squandered away by the man their mother married for his good looks. He drank and gambled away all the money, and left them to a life of hardship in the grand manor that is now falling apart.
The daughters do the cleaning, the milking, and the mending and make the cheese that keeps them alive. The girls collect the eggs and feed the chickens. Their mother lives pretending that they are still noble and only doing the work that is proper for "ladies." She refuses to see their calloused hands and their patched clothing. She refuses to see the wrack and ruin of their home.
When she returns from a visit to the city with a husband and his daughter (Isabella), things look like they might get better. The new stepfather dotes on his spoiled daughter and buys her a pony and carriage. He begins repairs on the house. But there is evidence that all is not as it appears to be when he refuses to pay the workmen for their work and he is evasive about his money.
He falls ill and dies, after which it's learned that he has no money, only debts. Yet Isabella remains unpleasant almost to the end of the story. Or does she? Misunderstandings and secrets cause problems, but the ending is just as happy and sweet as a fairy tale -- almost. Does Ella marry the prince? Is there magic in the tale? You'll have to read the story to find out.
Barrett raises some genuinely valid issues that would make this a great mother-daughter book club book or book for classroom reading. What makes a person "noble," is it breeding or just plain kindness and compassion? Who are the noble ones in the story -- the actual wealthy people and the prince or the poor neighbors who share what little they have?

New Five at 5 to take for a spin. Tune in.
The Indiecision Five at 5 is our attempt at sharing our musical tastes with you, and showcasing music from around the world. Each day at 5pm sharp, one NH7 writer or staffer will bring you five songs he/she is listening to on the day. This Friday, space cowboy Siddhant Mehta makes a playlist out of whims, fancies and other superfluous things.
1. Merchandise – 'Anxiety's Door'
When I found this sound on Youtube I thought to myself "Look at these good ol' boys, they sure know how to act cool." I listened to the song and found that the beginning of the song must make it somewhere as montage music. Imagine it now, walking down the street acting like Fonzie's henchmen, that's how I'd roll with my gang of cool cats in the 70s. Unfortunately, we're in the 21st century so the fiery guitar solo at the end and the devil-may-care singing style would have to be replaced by 140 characters laced with irony and pop culture references. I'd like to tell the 21st century to "Sit on it."
2. Dropkick Murphys – 'The Battle Rages On'
I was told about this new Dropkick Murphys' album in the most fitting place possible, in a dark bar after I drank at least three beers. Can you imagine how pleased I was to come home to hear this? (Of course, you can't! You don't know me!) This has all the best parts of a Dropkick Murphys' song – it's fast-paced, an awesomely catchy tune, enough elements of Irish music to give you yet another reason to wish you were Irish, and the strange need to either drink a pint of Guinness or break the pint on someone's head. Seriously, I'd like to get into a bar fight with this going on in the background.
3. Mr. Muthfuckin' eXquire – 'Telephuck' feat Gucci Mane
I'll be honest here, I picked this because I liked all the names. In fact, I think most music should be approached in this manner. The song itself is by a rapper that is having a hard time living up to the hype of his first mixtape, Lost in Translation and while his latest releases leave a lot to be desired, this song ain't too bad. The lyrics are a but silly but over-produced beats grow on you over time.
4. Poolside – 'California Sunset'
Look at the keywords here. "Poolside", "California" and "Sunset" are just incredibly inviting already but if you add "Disco", then you know you've got a winner on your hands. This is great music to put on in a party that's not really going anywhere but that's fine because you've just put on this great tune and that means you're allowed to help yourself to an extremely large girly drink (complete with fruit and little umbrella) that's preferably blue, pink or green. The lovely disco beats get to a really nice happy place and by God, they stay there. Now's a good time to go make another one of those incredibly huge girly drinks but this time put enough Malibu and white rum in it to make your sweat smell like a coconut grove for the next two hours and listen to the rest of Poolside's excellent album, Pacific Standard Time.
5. Tyvek – 'Midwest Basements'
At first, Google told me that Tyvek was some kind of fibre created by the DuPont corporation but I felt that there was more to it than that. Detroit punk band Tyvek seemed more for me and they duly delivered. The song encompasses pretty everything you need to know about Tyvek. It's a punk song about a Midwest basement and they're a punk band that are from the Midwest that sound like all their music was recorded in a basement. If you like some Ramones-esque punk rock but you're afraid to tell your friends then try Tyvek out.
Check out previous editions of Five at 5 here, and stay tuned for more picks from NH7, Monday through Friday.

President of the Islamic Development Bank Dr. Ahmad Muhammad Ali disclosed yesterday that meat from about 440,000 sheep and 8,000 camels and cows is expected to be distributed this year among the poor and needy in 27 Muslim countries in the Kingdom's sacrificial meat utilization program that IDB supervises. Dr. Muhammad Ali met yesterday with officials in charge of Hajj affairs at the embassies and consulates of Muslim countries in the Kingdom in order to brief them on the aims of the project that is carried out during the pilgrimage season under IDB's supervision. He referred to the fact that the Saudi government has spent more than SR 481 million (U.S. $ 128.3 million) to set up four dedicated slaughterhouses, and that 20,000 administrators, butchers, and veterinary doctors in addition to 600 students, are engaged in this project.
During the last Hajj season the meat from a total of 161,000 head of sheep and 7,850 heads of camels and cows was distributed within Saudi Arabia through charitable societies, while about 280,000 heads of sheep, camels and cows were distributed in 26 other countries under the direct supervision of the IDB.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health reported today that its preparations for the 1999 Hajj season have been completed within the framework of international health measures and well-studied plans prepared under the supervision of Health Minister and Chairman of the Hajj Committee Dr. Osama Ibn Abdulmajeed Shobokshi. There will be twenty-one fully-equipped hospitals operating in Makkah, Madinah and the holy sites, with a capacity of 7,103 beds. In addition, there will be 205 medical centers to serve the pilgrims.
Yesterday, Undersecretary for Pilgrimage Affairs Hatem Qadi announced that in order to avoid overcrowding at the Jamrat area in Mina, arrangements have been made with the Tawafa organizations for the stoning ritual to be performed by their pilgrims in groups at specified times. He stated that the success of the group system to be implemented this year depends on the cooperation of all pilgrims and Hajj missions. Electronic instruction boards will be installed on the Jamrat bridge to inform pilgrims in various languages on the situation in the area, and pilgrims will be urged to wait for some time if the area is crowded, and not proceed with the stoning until the crowd is less.
Undersecretary Qadi also drew attention to the need for all domestic agents to follow the instructions regarding Saudi pilgrims and to deal only with those who have received the special Hajj cards, adding that the newly-erected fireproof tents at Mina will be available to domestic pilgrims this season, on payment of a specific fee.

College Hockey:Advantage Terriers
Power Play Leads No. 2 BU Over No. 12 BC, 5-2
BOSTON, Mass. — Boston College scored just 40 seconds into the game tonight, but it was all downhill for the Eagles after that.
After spotting a goal against their archrivals, No. 2 Boston University bounced back with five unanswered goals, including four power-play tallies, en route to a 5-2 win over No. 12 Boston College in front of a sellout crowd of 6,221 at Agganis Arena.
One night after being benched by coach Jack Parker due to a lack of defensive focus, blueliner Colby Cohen went from doghouse to top dog, earning top star honors with a goal and an assist on top of a solid showing in his own end. Freshman David Warsofsky added three assists for the victors, while BC netminder John Muse kept the Eagles in the game despite lopsided shot totals, stopping 41 shots.
After a first period in which BU trailed 1-0 despite outshooting BC by a whopping 18-6 margin, Parker acknowledged that he worried that Muse would continue to stand on his head and win a 1-0 game.
That fear was laid to rest with three goals over the next 20 minutes.
"Obviously, we got untracked in the second period," Parker said. "Our power play was great. Our penalty killing was great. We had a lot of legs, and I thought it was our best game of the year the way we moved the puck through center ice, kept the pressure on with team speed because we were moving the puck so well. When you move the puck as well as we did tonight, you look a lot faster."
Boston College is now winless since November 30, going 0-4-2 during that span.
"Cleary, BU is a very, very good hockey team," BC coach Jerry York said. "They were much better than we were during the course of the 60 minutes here. That being said, I don't think that we've played our best in the recent stretch we've been on. We're in a funk, there's no question, these last three or four weeks.
"We're just a step behind the play. We've just got to play at quicker tempo, defensively and offensively. That's our trademark, quick and fast."
BU got a lift before the game even began. In last night's game, Terriers' seniors Matt Gilroy and Chris Higgins were injured by brutal hits from behind that left Parker livid when the officials failed to call major penalties against Merrimack. Higgins suffered a concussion while Gilroy suffered a dislocated shoulder as well as bruises to the chest. Though Higgins was out tonight and is questionable for next weekend, Gilroy surprisingly was able to play and performed quite well.
"I was concerned about Matt Gilroy after he got hammered last night, whether he'd be able to play and how well he'd be able to play because I thought that this would be a physical game," Parker said. "I thought he played great."
It didn't look so great in the opening minute for the Terriers. Jason Lawrence got called for interference in the offensive end and BC took all of ten seconds to capitalize on the power play. Brock Bradford took a shot from the right point and Benn Ferriero buried the rebound.
After that though, BU dominated the period. Muse waited out Zach Cohen on a good chance at 2:20, and then the BC sophomore made a nice glove save on Brian Strait at 8:45. Ferriero had a good bid for BC at the 13-minute mark, but otherwise the Eagles mustered very little in the way of an attack except for a really good shift with two minutes left in the period.
Meanwhile, Muse made a terrific save at 16:20 when Colin Wilson slipped a last-second pass across the crease for the tap-in bid by Lawrence, only to have the goalie make the great pad save and then see Wilson's rebound attempt pop up on top of the net. BU came right back with several more chances in a scrum seconds later, but Muse covered it.
A BU power play that carried over into the second period set the stage for the equalizer when John McCarthy fed it to David Warsofsky for a cross-ice pass followed by a one-timer by Nick Bonino that ticked the post on the way into the net.
"We were moving the puck around well," Warsofsky said. "We knew that BC was going to pressure a lot on the power play. The quicker we moved, we figured the more likely we would be to find some open lanes. I think it was John who got the puck to me at the point, and I found Nick across the slot, and he buried it."
Another nice pass led to the second BU goal. At the tail end of another power play, Jason Lawrence got the puck in the left-wing corner and fired it to Colby Cohen at the far point. Cohen's slap shot found the net high on Muse's stick side at 8:04.
"It was a good feeling," Cohen said of his great night after being a healthy scratch. "Obviously, it's no fun to watch. It felt good to go out and help the team win."
Colin Wilson and Zach Cohen had some good chances later in the period, but a great individual effort by Vinny Saponari finally made it 3-1 BU at 18:16. Muse had the puck on his stick and attempted to dump it behind the net, but he put it right on the stick of Saponari, who went for the wraparound. Muse got his skate over to make the initial save, but Saponari flipped the rebound in high before the goalie could cover the whole side of the net.
Terriers' goalie Kieran Millan made a great save on a subsequent scramble by BC, and that kept the two-goal cushion intact going into the third period.
Senior co-captain John McCarthy had a pair of short-handed chances early in the final frame, and the second one led to yet another BU power play. Wilson set up Colby Cohen at the left point for a shot that Muse stopped, but Kevin Shattenkirk collected the rebound and roofed it with a backhander for a goal to put the game out of reach.
"Everyone was unselfish, and the puck was moving," Gilroy said of the Terriers' power play success tonight.
Gilroy made it 5-1 with a slap shot during a five-on-three in the last two minutes, and Cam Atkinson followed 30 seconds later with a short-handed breakaway and a goal for BC, but it was all academic at that point.
"Overall, it was as solid as you can get, especially against your archrival," Parker said.
BU (16-5-1, 9-5-1 Hockey East) plays New Hampshire in a home-and-home series next weekend, while BC ((9-8-3, 5-7-3 HE) hosts Maine for a pair.

Hilliard Earns Academic All-Conference Honors
Nov. 17, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - In a season Rachel Hilliard filled with firsts and milestones the junior was honored for the first time as one of six Atlantic 10 athletes to earn an Academic All-Conference nod. This is Hilliard's first time earning the honor, adding to a season of firsts for the Hookstown, Pa. native.
Hilliard is now a four-time Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll member and holds a 4.0 GPA majoring in Biology and English. The junior also has been accepted into the highly competitive Tufts Veterinary School last spring. This season Hilliard put together the best season thus far in her collegiate career leading the team in six-of-seven meets.
This season UMass raced against stout competition week after week, running against highly ranked teams in the nation as well as in the region. Despite the toughest schedule Hilliard's faced since attending the University, she has displayed significant progress from 2012 to 2013.
Along with her first Academic All-Conference honor the 2013 cross country season was a season full of firsts in what was by far the most competitive season she has competed in as a Minutewoman. Her six times leading the Minutewomen was the most time she's led the team in any season thus far. This was also the junior's first time finishing in the top 100 of the highly competitive Paul Short Invitational and NCAA Northeast Regional Championship.
The Atlantic 10 Championship marked the first time Hilliard has lead UMass at the conference championship as well as finishing top 20. On October 12 Hilliard finished broke the top 30 at the New England Championship and just a week prior was honored for the first time as an UMass Athlete of the Week for her performance at the Paul Short Invitational.
The NCAA Northeast Regional Championship marked the end of Hilliard's cross country campaign. The long distance runner will now begin to train for the indoor and outdoor track and field season.

Released: Aug 01st, 2003
Running Time: 148
Company: Shane's World Studios
Distribution Companies: New Sensations
Cast: Cindy Crawford, Tony Pounds, Calli Cox, Mariah Cherry, Tanya James, Slim Shady, Nacho Vidal, Monika Star, Taylor Rain, Felix Vicious, Brittney Skye
Critical Rating: AAAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
College kids and fans of reality/gonzo will flip for this.
Now this is reality porn! The Shane's World crew brings their craziness to campus where they party like porn stars with frat boys and sorority girls at an unidentified Southern California college.
Calli Cox leads the festivities as emcee - nay, chief instigator - and in no time at all Cox, a former sorority gal herself (Sigma Sigma Sigma, says so right there on her butt), takes a frat boy away from the madding crowd and gives him a Porn Valley b.j. he'll never forget.
Next thing you know, Nacho Vidal is tearing into Brittney Skye as some college girls can be heard in the background jockeying for position so they can see the action. Nacho fucks and chokes Brittney as she screams like an animal. All throughout the ramming and slamming the sounds of the party can be heard in the next room, though Nacho and Brit seem unfazed. A very nicely shot and edited scene with the camera almost always in just the right spot, a true rarity in gonzo.
Jeremy, a norm who sent an email to Calli, gets to join in the fun. He is set up in a limo with Mariah Taylor and Cindy Crawford, who compete for the chance to fuck the 20-year-old fanboy. After each gives him massages and blowjobs, he is forced to pick one and only one in a dramatic final showdown.
Back at the party, coed-looking Taylor and Slim Shady fuck in a bedroom filled with mostly-female admirers, Slim Shady getting into the frat rat spirit by pouring beer on Taylor while he licks and again while he fucks her.
In a brilliant crowd-pleasing move, Ron Jeremy shows up and the crowd goes wild. They scream and yell and chant and kiss and flash and Ron throws them DVDs and T-shirts and signs autographs and gets some of the chicks to flash and kiss. Who would have ever guessed that a male porn star would get more attention that the ladies? But, as Jeremy tells them, he's proof "that anybody can get laid." Having a huge cock and knowing how to use it hasn't hurt him, either.
While it might seem as though all this fun might get in the way of the sex, College Invasion is more than a XXX vid. It's a way of life, it's Shane's World, and, besides, there is still plenty of sex on this nearly two and a half hour effort to keep most jerkers satisfied.
An excellent example of reality porn/gonzo done right. Great parties, great sex, great fun. Pre-nom for Best Gonzo Tape.

Have you ever wondered how game officials know if the football has passed the goal line, in situations where it's hidden under a pile-up of players? Well, sometimes they don't know, and they just have to hope that it isn't moved as the players get up. A team of researchers from North Carolina State University, Carnegie Mellon University and Disney Research, however, may have a solution. They're developing a method of tracking a football via low-frequency magnetic fields. Read More
Golf is a wonderful game, but it does come with a major drawback – the bulk and weight of the clubs required to play. If you're traversing the course on foot, there's no way to carry a bag filled with golf clubs easily. A new product from DV8 Sports aims to make a round of golf a little less laborious by offering a system that allows a full set of clubs to be carried around in a bag the size of an average backpack.Read More
You probably wouldn't try using the same motorbike for both racing over rough trails and commuting on smooth roads, so ... why use the same prosthetic leg? That's the thinking behind the Moto Knee, a prosthesis that's designed for activities such as skiing, horseback riding, cycling and motocross. In order to withstand the impacts that come with such activities, it even incorporates a Fox DHX Air mountain bike shock absorber. Read More
It was back in 2007 that Adidas first explored the potential of an intelligent football. In the time since, it has continued to smarten up sports performance with heart-monitoring phones, fitness tracking watches and intelligent football boots. Now, just as the globe turns its focus to next month's World Cup in Brazil, it has unveiled the miCoach Smart Ball, a soccer ball with built-in sensors to track everything from the power of your strike to the finesse of your free kick.Read More
You could be forgiven for forgetting that Red Bull sells more than 5 billion cans of soft drink a year. For every logo you see on a can of energy drink, there must be another five plastered on screaming Formula One cars, upside-down motorcycles, stunt planes and skateboards. Red Bull almost single-handedly created the energy drink market we know today, piggybacking on the rise of extreme sports to get its brand out there ... and delivering some truly memorable marketing stunts along the way. Here's our five favorites.Read More
An abundance of sensors and armbands speaks to the popularity of tracking sporting performance. But extending this technology to an extreme sport like skateboarding raises another set of questions. How can a device be attached to the board without affecting performance? And, even if it is possible to quantify a sport so deeply rooted in the expression of personal style, is there a point? A group of skaters from Buenos Aires, Argentina feel there's much to gain by tracking flips and spins and have developed Syrmo, a motion tracker that fits discreetly underneath the trucks to gauge everything from air time to the force of your ollie. Read More
At first, the term "Lean skateboard" seems like it could refer to any board. After all, pretty much every skateboard relies on a leaning action for turning. Usually that turning is controlled by the rubber bushings in the trucks, but the Lean replaces the standard truck with a multi-link truck that allows the wheels to tilt into the turn, which the Lean's creator claims adds power and stability. Read More
Thanks in large part to crowd-funding sites like Kickstarter, the number of performance watches and monitors available has exploded in recent years. It seems that every new week brings a new sports monitor. The latest to catch our attention is the simply named Shot Stats Challenger. This monitor clips onto a tennis racket, tracking swing metrics.

A Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign is raising money for a new type of watersport. The Aqua Elliptica works like a cross trainer that is used on water. Users pump away on the footplates to turn a propeller and move the machine forward.Read More
The sports apparel market has no shortage of solutions for cold weather, with waterproof-breathable materials, advanced natural and synthetic insulations, and battery powered heat among them. But athletes have fewer options in hot, humid weather: take off clothing, get a cold headband/cloth, or stop exercising and find an air conditioner or pool. Adidas offers one more. Its new Climachill fabric combines several cooling elements to keep athletes more comfortable during hot summer sessions. Read More

Many Baton Rouge Retirement Community homes or a Baton Rouge Retirement Village in Louisiana can be designed with this purpose in mind by offering seniors such things as tennis courts, golf courses, and swimming pools.
Sometimes Baton Rouge Senior Retirement Communities or Baton Rouge Adult Retirement Communities might have age restrictions that require one member of the household to be over the age of 55. A large number of retirement communities are built in warm climates as Florida, Arizona, and California. But now Baton Rouge retirement living and Baton Rouge retirement apartments are often built within or near large metropolitan areas.

Midweek Dish
The Fresno State baseball team continues its spring break road trip on Tuesday for a nonconference bout against Pacific at Klein Family Field. The pairing is a rematch of the April 1 game two weeks ago to the date when the Tigers visited Beiden Field and defeated the Bulldogs 7-3 behind a four-run ninth inning. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. from Stockton, Calif.
The Bulldogs return to the Golden State after kicking off their seven-game road swing at New Mexico. The Lobos edged out the 'Dogs 5-4 in the Friday night opener, UNM exploded for a seven-run fourth inning to win 11-6 Saturday, and they completed the series sweep of Fresno State Sunday with a 4-1 victory. Jordan Luplow continued to be the stronghold for the Bulldogs' offense, going 5-for-10 from the plate for the series. He homered twice and now leads the Mountain West with seven home runs this season. Brody Russell and Taylor Tempel also connected for homers, each their first long ball of the season.
Over the weekend, Pacific came up with its second West Coast Conference series win of the season, taking 2-of-3 from San Francisco on the road. Pacific captured game one 11-7 as the Tigers scored eight unanswered runs in the late innings of the game. Game two went to the Dons 3-2 in extra innings and in the finale, Pacific scored a season-best 12 runs on a season-high 18 hits to win 12-9 and take the series.
RHP William Munro (2-0, 2.97 ERA), who has become the Bulldogs go-to option for midweek games, will make his seventh start of the season and fourth consecutive Tuesday start. Pacific will throw RHP Jordan Gonzalez (0-0, 12.46 ERA).
Following Tuesday's game the Bulldogs will stay on the road and continue northward to close their road trip with a three-game series against the Nevada Wolf Pack. The Mountain West series will begin Thursday and conclude on Saturday in lieu of Easter Sunday.
"Catch the Wave" - 2014 Fresno State baseball season tickets are now on sale and can be ordered online at gobulldogs.com or over the phone at 559-278-DOGS (3647). The official home of the Fresno State Bulldogs is 940 AM ESPN Radio.

ZF2-235: Circular dependency in DI for TableGateway and RowGateway
When I configure a TableGateway, a ResultSet and a RowGateway for one Table, a Circular dependency Exception is Thrown.
Which is the right way to have a custom TableGateway returning a custom ResultSet and custom RowGateway on select?
Could you please provide an example of how you are trying to do it?
Also, just in case you haven't yet, take a look at the last example (22.214.171.124) on the TableGateway manual page (here). It shows how to use TableGateway, ResultSet and RowGateway together.
I am aware of this, and will find a solution for beta4.

RFI - request for information template and description
What is a Request for Information?
A request for information (RFI) is a formal way of requesting information of various kinds from different suppliers. Most likely with the aim for future deliveries of products or services. The RFI is normally a document containing a description on why the information is requested and a specification to what information that actually is requested. The RFI is mainly used if you need to involve a supplier in a new project or if you want to scan the market for other and better potential suppliers. The number of suppliers that are available could be huge, and the RFI creates a structured process to narrowing down the longlist of suppliers to a smaller number of interesting suppliers: the shortlist. When having a shortlist it is possible to go for the next step, an RFP or RFQ.
When to use a Request for Information?
It is a good idea to use an RFI when you have a lot of potential suppliers and/or you do not have the information you need about them.
Distinction between the Request For Proposal (RFP) and the RFI
The difference between the RFI and RFP is that the RFI is just for requesting information, while the RFP is a request to really get a proposal on how the supplier would like to design or choose a component or create a service to you. The RFQ is on the other hand a request to actually get a price on a product. This is something you do not usually do in an RFI.
Benefits of an RFI
- Information is gathered in a formal, structured and comparable way.
- Suppliers understand that there is a competition going on.
- You show that you try to act without a prejudice or with a preferred supplier.
- You get a formal reply from the suppliers

TC TO THOMAS ERSKINE ; 21 July 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520721-TC-TE-01; CL 27: 173
Chelsea, Wednesday / 21 july [1852]
Dear Mr Erskine,—I am off by Kidd,1 after all, this day, in 2 hours time,—in the most horrible bustle and universal hurly-burly (feeling it an act of "courage" to go now rather than later);—and so, unless something adverse befal, I expect to salute you at Linlathen, or perhaps on the Dundee Pier (in dreadfully disconsolate circumstances, I) on the evening the second day hence!— If I miss in the River here, and have to turn home again, you shall have that bad news tomorrow.
And so fair befal us2 every one!

B-Line Diner
Brian and I ended up eating at B-Line Diner on our first night in Orlando because it rained. I had my heart set on taking the trolley to Oceanaire Seafood Room at Pointe Orlando but we didn't want to walk outside because of the torrential downpour. It rained while we were getting some supplies at Walgreens and, by the time we arrived back at our hotel, we were both drenched.
Anyway, B-Line is conveniently located on the first floor of our hotel so we wouldn't have to go outside. It was a no brainer. We put some dry clothes on and off we went.
Brian and I both love hummus so we decided to start with that. It was topped with some sort of kalamata olives tapenade, which made it really salty. I like salty stuff so it appealed to me. Brian didn't care much for it. He would have much rather preferred a tub of Sabra. LOL.
For dinner we just split a chicken sandwich. We didn't want any leftovers as our room wasn't equipped with a microwave. You could request one from housekeeping, but the Peabody charges $20 extra per day for use of the microwave so it wasn't worth it. Anyway, back to the sandwich. It had all the fixins including apple slices and a huge chunk of avocado. It was actually pretty good.
Splitting the chicken sandwich was actually a good move on our part because we wanted to save room for dessert. The B-Line has an extensive dessert selection. However, since Brian and I were sharing dessert, we couldn't go too crazy. We ordered a slice of their Oreo chocolate mousse cake.
It was just okay. It tasted like something that you could get anywhere. There really wasn't anything special about it. The dessert was probably my least favorite part of the meal.
The food at B-Line is actually pretty good. The location is extremely convenient, specially if you are staying at the Peabody or have a conference nearby at the Orange County Convention Center. The diner is also open 24 hours a day, which is a huge plus. The only downside is that the prices are quite high. Then again, that's typical of everything in this area of Orlando so, after considering all of the other options, B-Line is probably a bargain. I wouldn't mind eating there again next time we're at the Peabody.

Mouldings are used in architecture to add embellishment to design and accentuate features in the building space. One of the most popular and visible is the crown. Although it sometimes sits below the ceiling (such as in a vaulted room), crown moulding most typically transitions the space between the vertical wall and horizontal ceiling surfaces.
There are a wide variety of crown profiles meant to blend with the architectural style of the building. Of equal importance to the profile is the size. When adding crown it's important to scale the moulding properly to the room size. Small rooms and lower ceilings generally mean using shallower profiles. Conversely, tall ceilings (over 8') and large cavernous rooms demand a much bigger profile to adequately remain in scale to the proportions.
The most difficult part of installing crown are the compound joints required at corners. Most modern miter saws make these joints easier to cut, but understanding the overall installation requirements will help the crown stay in place, especially when working with painted material. Painted mouldings, unlike natural wood, need to be caulked in for a seamless appearance. As the building moves, so will those caulked joints. To keep things intact, blocking and other adhesives may be required. The attached photos show a small sampling of both installing and fabricating custom crown moulding.

With the recent rise in awareness of HTTP session hijacking, surfing the internet on a public wireless network has become quite perilous. At my university, the wireless network is totally open --- no encryption at all. Students are encouraged to use VPN, but VPN disconnects when I shut my laptop's lid, and requires a password to reconnect.
Sometimes I don't remember to connect to VPN, and even when I do, I fear that open Facebook/Twitter/other tabs might silently make requests in the background, giving away my sessions before I have a chance to connect.
On Snow Leopard, how can I block any traffic from being transmitted over my wireless card until I am connected to VPN?
My school uses Cisco VPN client, if it matters.

Arizona is host to two of the largest universities in the US. Arizona State University (ASU), the largest US public university, anticipated record 76,000 students for the 2013-4 year, a 5% increase over the previous year. University of Arizona topped 40,000 in 2012. But out-of-state universities are becoming more aggressive about recruitment in Arizona. Cornell University hosted a picnic on April 19, 2014 for accepted students and their parents at Indian School Park in Scottsdale.
As a part of the Cornell Alumni Admissions Ambassador Network (CAAAN), alumni in the State are asked to interview applicants. It is a great way to engage alumni, as well as to have students ask questions of people in their own community, who attended the school or field of study they have targeted."
"It is so encouraging to talk to such talented high school students," said Donnelly Nariss Maysey, who coordinates CAAAN activities in Arizona, "It is great to hear what young people are thinking and doing these days."
Though there were many Cornell alumni in Arizona because of the strong hospitality industry (Cornell has the #1 School of Hotel Administration), it used to be a challenge to encourage Arizona students to venture to the snowy Ithaca, New York, or to get Cornell to accept Arizona applicants because of low school ratings. But, in the past few years, interest in and from Cornell has increased. This year, a record 265 Arizona students applied and 36 were accepted.
At the potluck picnic, an enthusiastic group of alumni welcomed students, who had already accepted, tried to convince others, whose final decisions are not due until May, and answered questions from parents. DeAnn and Michael Meely are very proud of their daughter Julianna, who was accepted to the College of Arts & Sciences. Meanwhile Richard and Shenetta Osei, who already have a daughter Rachel at the Hotel School, were trying to persuade son, Jonathan, to go to Cornell, too.
Cornell is not the only Ivy League college recruiting in Arizona. It is a member of the Phoenix Ivy Council, an association representing over 10,000 alumni from over 30 colleges and universities in the US. Yale and Columbia are examples of universities hosting evens within the next month. While Arizona offers great higher education, it is also a good sign that Arizona students are being sought after by the Ivy League.

IMF Executive Board Approves US$24.7 Million under the PRGF and EFF for AlbaniaPress Release No. 06/17
January 27, 2006
The Executive Board of the international Monetary Fund (IMF) today approved concurrent three-year arrangements under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) and the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) amounting to the equivalent of SDR 17.045 million (about US$24.7 million) for Albania to support the government's program of economic reform and poverty reduction. Of this amount, the equivalent of SDR 8.5225 million (about US$12.3 million) will be available under each of the PRGF and EFF arrangements. The approval of the arrangements enables Albania to draw the equivalent of SDR 2.435 million (about US$3.5 million) immediately.
The last PRGF arrangement for Albania, amounting to SDR 28 million, was approved on June 21, 2002 and expired on November 20, 2005 (See Press Release No. 02/30).
Following the Executive Board's discussion of Albania's requests, Anne O. Krueger, First Deputy Managing Director and Acting Chair stated:
"Over the three-year span of the previous PRGF-supported program, Albania's macroeconomic performance was strong. Growth averaged close to 6 percent—the highest in the region—and monetary and fiscal policies successfully anchored inflationary expectations at low levels. As private sector confidence improved, the lek experienced a modest trend real appreciation, reserve holdings increased, and public debt relative to GDP was reduced. Progress in structural reform included strengthening customs administration, starting to use the banking system to pay public sector salaries, and the privatizing of the last state-controlled bank—the latter measure significantly raising the degree of competition and credit provision in the system.
"Near-term growth and external prospects worsened somewhat in late 2005 due to disruptions in the electricity supply, but the medium-term outlook remains relatively favorable. With full implementation of the policies contained in the new program—including the comprehensive Power Sector Action Plan for 2006-08—the economy is expected to return to its potential growth rate of 6 percent by 2007. Similarly, the current account deficit—after a projected deterioration in 2006 due to higher electricity imports—should also improve in subsequent years as domestic production returns to normal levels. The outlook is for inflation to remain at about 3 percent throughout the period, although downside risks have increased and policy makers will need to remain vigilant and react quickly to any second-round price pressures that may materialize.
"The new three-year arrangement has been designed to reduce economic vulnerabilities, enhance growth potential, strengthen government solvency, protect priority spending, improve governance, and further develop the financial system. Marking a change from previous financing arrangements, only half of this program will be supported through the concessional Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility, with the balance sourced from the Extended Fund Facility. Such a blend of concessional and nonconcessional financing reflects the strong progress made by Albania since the approval of the previous program—including in rapidly rising per capita income and overall institutional development.
"Reflecting the increased uncertainty surrounding near-term growth, the 2006 budget contains strengthened contingency mechanisms. Combined with realistic revenue projections, these provide considerable protection for planned priority expenditures on education, health care, and public investment. Over the medium term, the fiscal framework strikes an appropriate balance between spending in these areas and the need for continued fiscal consolidation. Net domestic borrowing—the key fiscal target—will decline gradually over the program period, but an increasing current fiscal surplus will ensure the concentration of expenditure on productive uses, while limiting borrowing to the financing of capital expenditure. In the event privatization revenues and gains from improvements in tax administration materialize, these will be either expended in priority areas or used for additional debt reduction.
"The program also envisages an acceleration of structural reform in key areas. Comprehensive tax administration measures, based on IMF technical assistance, will be pursued to enhance efficiency, with special emphasis on servicing large tax payers and improving tax compliance. Following an IMF evaluation mission, a detailed action plan to improve public debt management will be drawn up to guide reform over the program period. In the financial sector, the authorities intend to develop an action plan to implement the recommendations of the 2005 Financial Sector Stability Assessment report. Other structural measures will include civil service reform and improvements in the institutional framework for evaluating large projects; reform of the macro-critical electricity sector; and statistics," Ms. Kruger said.
Recent Economic Developments
Albania's macroeconomic performance has been strong in recent years and medium-term prospects remain relatively favorable. However, near-term growth and external prospects worsened in late 2005, as disruptions to the electricity supply contributed to a decline in growth to 5 ½ percent in 2005 from about 6 percent in 2004; and to a worsening of the current account deficit. Despite progress to date, macroeconomic challenges and an unfinished reform agenda remain to be addressed, particularly in the areas of revenue administration, public debt management, financial market development, civil service, and expenditure management.
Program Summary
After more than a decade of IMF-supported programs, this arrangement aims at preparing Albania for graduation from Fund-supported programs. The program focuses on maintaining sound financial policies, while promoting reforms aimed at enhancing growth potential, strengthening government solvency, reducing vulnerabilities, protecting priority expenditure, and improving governance and the business climate.
Under the program, real GDP is projected to return to its trend growth rate of 6 percent by 2007, while macroeconomic stability—with inflation remaining in the Bank of Albania's 3 percent +/- 1 percent range—will be maintained by additional fiscal consolidation and by a strengthening of the monetary policy framework. Reforms in tax administration and expenditure management will permit the quantity and quality of public investment to increase alongside a declining debt to GDP ratio; while domestic borrowing will be gradually reduced over the program period, and the current and primary fiscal balances will improve. Measures to reform public debt management and the electricity sector will be pursued to further reduce economic vulnerabilities.
The PRGF is the IMF's concessional facility for low-income countries. PRGF-supported programs are based on country-owned poverty reduction strategies adopted in a participatory process involving civil society and development partners and articulated in a Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP). This is intended to ensure that PRGF-supported programs are consistent with a comprehensive framework for macroeconomic, structural, and social policies to foster growth and reduce poverty. PRGF loans carry an annual interest rate of 0.5 percent and are repayable over 10 years with a 5 ½-year grace period on principal payments.
The EFF is an IMF financing facility that supports medium-term programs that seek to overcome balance of payments difficulties stemming from macroeconomic imbalances and structural problems. The repayment terms are 10 years with a 4 ½-year grace period, and the interest rate, adjusted weekly, is currently about 4.30 a year.

LONDON – FormerUniversity of Arizona golfer Erik Oja was selected as a PING honorable mention All-American Thursday by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA). Oja is the first All-America selection from Arizona since Tarquin MacManus was named honorable mention in 2009.
Oja was one of 30 players selected from across the country to be named honorable mention, and is the first player to be selected from Arizona since Jim Anderson took over as head coach in 2012.
"This is a big deal for our program," Anderson said. "Erik joins a list of outstanding players who have played at UA and his season ranks up there with some of our best. Our entire team is proud of him and we celebrate his achievement together."
Oja becomes the 52nd overall Arizona golfer to be named to an All-America team.
Oja will also be participating in the 2014 Palmer Cup next weekend in England, which is a tournament between American and European collegiate golfers. This will be the third year that UA has had a golfer play in the tournament, joining current UA assistant golf coach Chris Nallen, who was selected in both 2003 and 2004.
"He set a goal at the beginning of the year to be a Palmer Cup team member, as well as an All-American," Anderson said. "And now he has done both."

Las Casas Foundation is a proud supporter of the performing arts through education and is hosting this camp to help young performers achieve their dreams.
This is a week-long camp set for Monday August 4 through Friday August 8 that immerses children in an authentic Broadway rehearsal process and gives them the opportunity to train with Broadway professionals. It helps them develop confidence and sharpen their performance skills through ensemble performance regardless of their experience level. Camp Broadway is Broadway's Original Summer Camp and children from around the world have benefitted from these summer camps for the last 18 years. Some of the participants have been featured in events like The New York Spring Gala at Carnegie Hall.
Classes will be from 8:30a.m. to 5:30p.m each day which translates to 40 hours of instruction in singing, dancing and acting as children learn scenes and songs from real Broadway shows. It is open to performers of all skill levels and no prior experience is needed.
The cost for this summer camp is $600 and the registration deadline is July 15, 2014. Early registration can be done online and is suggested since entry to the San Antonio programs is limited to 100 students.

For many parents and children, this long winter has dragged on for what feels like an eternity. A brief glimpse of spring was invigorating, but it served only as a teaser before winter came crashing back down again. Cold temperatures make it difficult to play outside, and grey, dreary days are just depressing, especially as February moves into March and warmth seems like it's never going to return to the East Tennessee area. When will spring really be here?
Thankfully, there are a few things you can do to brighten up the indoors; and while you may not be able to make flowers start springing up outside, you can hide them throughout your home or create your own little garden while you wait for Mother Nature to cooperate.
First, get the kids involved and excited. After all, the entire point is to make them a little bit more energetic and bright-eyed. Next, pull out plenty of paint. You can let them design their own flowers from scratch, just painting whatever comes to mind, or you can offer a few suggestions. If you have a young child, you can do hand- and foot-print flowers. Let the big kids participate in painting little brother's or sister's foot, or helping the little ones press their hands to the paper—or you can do that while they experiment on their own!
Big kids' palm prints make great flowers, as do little kid feet. Pull out a big canvas, and explore with what the big kids can create! Get a little wacky—and when you're done, find a place to display your "garden" in your home. It will be a little reminder that spring isn't quite as far away as you fear…and a fun example of what the kids can do when they work together.

Saudi Ambassador to the US Adel A. Al-Jubeir met with outgoing Defense Attaché Brig. Gen. Ali Alrakaf and the new Defense Attaché, Col. Amin bin Mohamed Shaker, at the Saudi Embassy in Washington yesterday.

In remarks upon the occasion, Ambassador Al-Jubeir praised Gen. Alrakaf and presented him with a plaque in recognition of his distinguished service. Prior to his appointment as Defense Attaché in the US, Brig. Gen. Alrakaf was the Liaison Officer for the US Central Command in Tampa, Florida and for the Task Force in Somalia. He also served as the Saudi Military Attaché in Madrid, Spain.
Gen. Alrakaf is succeeded by Col. Shaker, who comes to Washington from Rome, where he served as the Kingdom's Defense Attaché.

On Sunday, Rev. Vanessa C. Thomas, pastor of Behind the Veil Christian Ministries preached at New Canaan Worship Center in Richmond, Virginia for Pastor Louis R. Blakey, Jr. and Pastor Lois Blakey Paige's ninth anniversary.
Based on Esther 4:13-17, Pastor Thomas preached "This Is Your Time." In her introduction, the guest pastor talked about time and how God rearranges time and manipulates time just for you so you can step into the right appointment. This is exactly what happened in the story of Esther being called to replace Queen Vashti when she refused to dance with the king after he had been partying and drinking for about six months. Because of Vashti's refusal to dance, Esther was brought into the palace to replace Vashti.
Pastor Thomas pointed out that sometimes God makes it possible for people to move out of the way just so you can take their place. We need to be ready to step into the time God has for us. Esther was put in the right place, and she became the king's secret weapon. She emphasized this concept by saying, "Sometimes God brings the time to the place, and at other times He brings the place to the time."
Esther's background wasn't revealed when she went into the palace to become the queen. Pastor Thomas said, "God can use you in spite of your background. In fact, if some people knew your background, they wouldn't even want to sit next to you on the pew."
Pastor Thomas advised the congregation not to complain while they are waiting for something to take place at a certain time. Rather, start dancing while you wait. Praise while you wait.
When God blesses you, the haters will show up and step in trying to block what God is doing. When that happens, know that you must be doing something right to have haters. When you finally arrive after disappointments, setbacks and struggles, you can laugh about when you went through to get to where God has placed you.
Esther was in the right place at the right time to save a nation. You, too, have a nation in you to save, but you have to be at the right place at the right time where God has placed you. Don't get upset by what it looks like. God is putting the pieces together like a puzzle to make sure you are where you are supposed to be. When God moves you to the place He wants you to be, He will also require you to relinquish some things and some people out of your life. Using the language of a computer Pastor Thomas said, "For some people you have to 'scroll, select and delete.'"
As the pastor's sermon came to an end, she said for every blessing there is a risk; the bigger the risk, the bigger the blessing. She admonished the congregation to move into their place like Esther by taking risks based on their faith.

With an already fraught Sino-Japanese relationship, Japan's conservative Liberal Democratic Party's return to power commands concern.
LDP leader Shinzo Abe was hawkish on the campaign trail, which forecasts more assertive foreign and defense policies by the government he will head. And one of the major things on his to-do list is bolstering Japan's military and coastal defenses.
For the first time in decades, national defense played a significant role in Japan's general election. The LDP has promised to get tough in the country's territorial row with China, which will increase tension. Its election manifesto calls for studying the permanent basing of "civil servants" on China's Diaoyu Islands, known as the Senkakus in Japan.

Aaron Irwin: Little Hurts
Little Hurts
Aaron Irwin (alto sax)
Blood and Thunder (Fresh Sound Records FSNT - 320)
Aaron Irwin (alto sax), Ben Monder (guitar),
Chris Cheek (tenor sax), Eliza Cho (violin), Matt Clohesy (bass), Ferenc Nemeth (drums).
Composed by Aaron Irwin.
Recorded: Brooklyn, NY, February 11 and 13, 2008
Rating: 88/100 (learn more)
Aaron Irwin may be running the show here, but guitarist Ben Monder is the secret weapon. Monder sets up a moody undercurrent with some swampy and reverb-laden arpeggios over which Irwin and Chris Cheek develop, in unison, the rising theme. When the horns split apart mid-song, taking simultaneous solos, "Little Hurts" steps above the expected head/solos format.
Ah, but it's Monder who holds the trump card, busting out an absolutely volcanic guitar solo that might be labeled "fusion" if it weren't for the decidedly non-fusion context. Don't let the "F-word" dissuade you, as this is a load of fun.
