Well, I'm still trying to get through my reading pile, so this week I only bought one book (and I bought it used).
Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
Rebecca Bloomwood just hit rock bottom. But she's never looked better....
Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in London's trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season's must-haves. The only trouble is that she can't actually afford it -- not any of it.

I love Kinsella's books! I can't wait to get my hands on her newest one, 'Twenties Girl'.
If you love Kinsella, you'll also love a new book called 'Knickles and Dimes'. It has hilarious characters and a really great story. I'd recommend it!
Anyway, thanks for the review : )

I was almost certain we had already had this poll, but all the searching in the world couldn't seem to find it. So here it is: curly brace placement has been a hotly debated topic at my work place. Arguments have included the popularity of one style over the other, companies that use it in their documentation, etc... What do you use? Any particular reason why?
Style 1:
Style 2:Code:keyword { }
I used to use style 2, because I learned C from Borland manuals and that's what they use. However I switched to style 1 at my current job because it's what my first project was already using - and now it's just a habit.Code:keyword { }

Ninja[edit | edit source]
|There are two main types of ninja skills: Deadly and possibly deadly.
|—Koga Tatsuya, human ninja., the Koga Ninja Scroll.
Ninjas are perhaps one of the most mysterious and enigmatic classes ever created. While some ninja are little more then killers (and often take levels in the assassin prestige class), rea ninja are masters of exotic weaponry, tools of stealth, and strange powers that stem from internal energy (ki). Ninja are members of secretive ninja clans, the leader of which holds absolute authority over the ninja's life and death. They are sworn to secrecy to protect their identies and those of their clanmates, and must never reveal that they are ninja.
Becoming a Ninja[edit | edit source]
Most ninjas are rogues, and the skill requirements of the class mean that most members have to have a level or two of rogue. Some ninja have a magical background, which can be a very fearsome combination indeed.
|Any nongood.
|Bluff 10 ranks, Disguise 7 ranks, Hide 7 ranks, Tumble 7 ranks.
|Elusive target. In a non-Tome setting, replace this with dodge.
|Evasion class ability.
Class Features[edit | edit source]
All of the following are class features of the ninja.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Ninja gain no additional weapon or armor proficiency. They do, however, gain proficiency in certain exotic weapons as they advance in levels.
Exotic Weapon: At 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 9th level, a ninja gains a free Exotic Weapon Proficiency. This proficiency must be chosen from one of the following weapons: blowgun, chigikiri, double kusarigama, fukibari, fukiya, hand crossbow, kusarigama, kyoketsu shoge, ninja-to, shuriken, spiked chain, sword cane, or war fan.
Ki Breath (Ex): A ninja learns how to focus his ki to increase his ability to hold his breath. A ninja adds his ninja prestige class level to his Constitution check roll to determine to continue holding his breath.
Poison Use: Ninja are trained in the use of poison and never risk accidentally poisoning themselves when applying poison to a blade.
Pole Stepping (Ex): At 2nd level, a ninja within arm's reach of a wall can use the wall to slow his descent. The ninja takes damage as if the fall was 20 feet shorter than it actually is. His ability to slow his fall increases every other level until he can fall 100 feet and take no damage at 10th level.
Improved Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level and above, the ninja can can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If the ninja makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Even if he fails his saving throw, he takes only half damage from the attack. The ninja can only use improved evasion if he is wearing light armor or no armor.
Stealth Attack (Ex): This ability is identical to the rogue's sneak attack ability, and stacks with it to determine the total damage. It also stacks with the assassin's death attack ability, though it must follow the same rules for either one.
Acrobatics (Su): A 3rd level ninja gains a +10 competence bonus on Balance, Climb, Jump, and Tumble checks. At 7th level, this bonus increases to +20. In addition, a ninja can always take 10 on a Balance, Climb, Jump, or Tumble check, even when circumstances would normally prevent him from doing so.
One with Clouds (Su): A 3rd level ninja's jumping distance (horizontal or vertical) is not limited according to his height.
One with Shadow (Su): A 4th level ninja can use the Hide skill even while being observed. As long as he is within 10 feet away from some sort of shadow, a ninja can hide himself from view in the open without anything to actually hide behind. A ninja cannot, however, hide in his own shadow.
One with Water (Su): A ninja of 5th level or higher can walk on any liquid as if it were firm ground. This effect lasts for 1 round per ninja level, but can be used unlimited times per day.
One with Lies (Su): At 7th level, a ninja gains the ability to alter his appearance at will, as if using the spell alter self.
One with Poison (Su): A ninja of 8th level or higher is immune to all poisons.
Slippery Mind (Ex): At 9th level, a ninja gains the ability to wriggle free of from magical effects that would otherwise compel or control him. If a ninja with slippery mind is affected by a spell and fails his saving throw, he can attempt his saving throw again next round. He only gets this one extra chance to succeed in his saving throw.
Abundant Step (Sp): A ninja spy of 10th level can magically slip between spaces, as per the spell dimension door, 5 times per day.
Campaign Information[edit | edit source]
Playing a Ninja[edit | edit source]
Combat: Ninja typically have the same combat niche as the rogue, but function as an even better face of the party. They can get in and get out of dangerous situations even better than most rogues.
Advancement: Most ninja continue as ninja, though some gain a level or two of some sort of spellcasting class.
Resources: A ninja can expect help from his clan for some matters, and this is usually where he draws cohorts and followers from.
Ninja in the World[edit | edit source]
|Shadows are without form, and thus, without weakness.
|—Hattori Hanzo, human ninja
Ninjas are enigmatic, the mysterious spiders at the center of a web of intrigue. They often act in opposition to the player character's goals. Their objectives are often inscrutable, but they rarely coincide with those of the heroes.
NPC Reactions: NPCs don't react to ninjas, because a good ninja is the ninja that makes you think he's not a ninja.
Ninja Lore[edit | edit source]
Characters with ranks in Knowledge (History) can research ninja to learn more about them. When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.
|Some stealthy warriors strike from the shadows.
|These warriors are ninja, and are capable of amazing feats of acrobatic prowess.
|It is rumored that ninja can change their facial appearance, so no one is safe.
|Some ninja are capable of teleportation.
Ninja in the Game[edit | edit source]
Ninja are the silent killers at the beck and call of powerful lords. They are spies, assassins, informants, and infiltration experts rolled up into one incredibly deadly package. Ninja act as a good center point in an ongoing quest, as the guys pulling the strings throughout the adventure.
Adaptation: Ninja work best in some sort of Oriental setting, but could easily be renamed Hashashin (for Middle-Eastern campaigns) or simply assassins (in Western campaigns).
Sample Encounter: It needs one.
EL ?: It needs one o' these too.

Warning: This post will have spoilers for all three of the Hunger Games books. If you haven't read them yet, you may not want to continue reading this post. If you get to the end, and are pissed that I spoiled something, I will simply remind you that the very first thing I wrote in this post was a warning.
My hands have had a bit of a set back the past few weeks. While the original issue has somewhat plateaued in the improvement department, about three weeks ago I developed additional tendon damage/injury to my left thumb/wrist area. While this has been highly disappointing, and the new injury has affected more than just playing on the PC (trying working with fondant when your hands hurt trying to soften it up or color it, or try shuffling a deck of cards when the action causes pain in your thumb), I'm trying to roll with the punches and facilitate as quick a recovery as possible. Which means that I'm not spending a lot of time on the computer and I am again spending a good deal of time reading, watching TV and doing other things.
I bring this up, because over the weekend as I sat and enjoyed one of the ten days of sunshine we get here in Seattle, I finished up the Hunger Games trilogy. In fact, I was so involved in them that Saturday night found me up way past my bed time trying to finish the final book (I sadly had to give up with about 75 pages left when I just couldn't keep my eyes open any more). Anyhow, as I read through the three books and observed the changes in Katniss and the other characters I had some thoughts on them that I wanted to flesh out, and figured this is about as good a place as any to do so. Before I move on, I want to again remind you that I am about to enter into spoiler territory, and if you haven't read the books yet, you may well want to stop reading this post now.
Even though I'd already seen the movie, moving through the first book of the series was tough at points and played very heavily on my emotions. I still balled my eyes out when Rue died. I still held my breath when the medicine was available at the cornucopia. And I still found myself hoping that Katniss would see all of the good in Peeta and truly fall for him – a feeling that grew even stronger in Catching Fire. However, as I progressed through the series, mainly through Mockingjay, I found myself growing more unhappy with the way Katniss fell apart. In fact, by the end of Mockingjay I was almost completely dissatisfied with her evolution, even though she ended up with Peeta. I think perhaps it was the epilogue that really made me unhappy, as I felt it was somewhat unneeded.
I guess, when push comes to shove, what I really want to write about is Katniss.
I really liked her in the first and second books. I liked the emotions that were provided to us, I like that everything wasn't a Hollywood happy ending (something that I think is important to acknowledge considering that these are "young adult" books). But the way that she just completely and totally fell apart as book three progressed made me incredibly dissatisfied with the story. I think that this probably also has to dovetail into Peeta's progress in book three as well – since so much of that directed what happened to Katniss.
I think what really disappointed me was how little of the "girl on fire" we actually saw in the final installation of the book. I get that she's been through a lot. I understand that she's confused and there are a million changes happening around her. And I absolutely think that those things would have a profound impact on her as she experiences them. But to have her in a nearly catatonic state of mind through a good deal of the story is just…wrong. Katniss is a survivor. She beats the odds. She does what is required to win. And somehow the girl in Mockingjay just seems to be a completely different character at the core.
There are a few times when we actually see shadows of the Katniss from books one and two in book three – the fight in District 2, early in the book when she goes to District 8, when she puts that arrow into Coin (I'll admit, I cheered at that part). But, frankly, I'm not sure that watching her mope around the majority of the book sends the right message. Yes, shit happened and it sucked and it absolutely has an effect on who you become. But her character was so strong, with moments of pure weakness, that it's really hard to swallow that she'd become a complete shell of herself and stop fighting altogether. I don't know, it just didn't sit well with me. I know that Prim was one of the things that she was fighting so hard for, so I could see her semi-catatonic state at the end of the book once she'd died, but we'd already seen so much of "hopeless" and "directionless" Katniss throughout the entirety of book three that it felt almost contrived.
The other thing that I think really bothered me was the epilogue of Mockingjay. I felt the book would have ended well with Katniss deciding that what she needed was the dandelion, Peeta. I was happy with that resolution. But the epilogue was to shallow to really leave me with an impact. It needed to be better done or completely excluded. It's great they had kids and got back to some semblance of their former lives, but it was so empty of anything that I think I would have much rather have let my imagination write their future.
I have so much I think I could say, but at this point my thoughts are running themselves in circles, so I think this is a good place to stop for now. I will say that I did enjoy the first two books tremendously. And I will probably re-read all three again. But the third book was somewhat disappointing when taken as a whole. What do you think of Katniss' transformation? How did you feel about the ending?

At least one chapter in the Shakespeare-worthy downfall of former general and CIA director David Petraeus is ending with a whimper. Mr. Petraeus's biographer and one-time paramour Paula Broadwell will not be charged with cyberstalking–the very accusation that led to her affair with Mr. Petraeus becoming public knowledge.
Ms. Broadwell's lawyer gave an official letter indicating as much to the media. In the letter, United States Attorney Robert E. O'Neill wrote that "no federal charges will be brought in the Middle District of Florida relating to alleged acts of cyber-stalking."

The next (few) long overdue blog entries would be about my trip to the northern Philippines: the National Capital Region and Ilocos Norte. For now, I'll share about our stops in Parañaque (NCR).
After checking in at a hotel, the plan was to have dinner in Zark's Burgers. Due to my late night arrival, we ended up eating at Shawarma Snack Center. The place is located in BF Homes, Parañaque.
The next day, we visited the The Cathedral of St. Andrew.
After the cathedral, we went to eat in a place which is very familiar to him- Nel's Pastries & Specialties.
That's it for Parañaque! After this, we went to Intramuros, but that would be in a different blog post. 😉

HOBOKEN, N.J. (AP) — The city of Hoboken has agreed to be the guinea pig for a federal and state program to fortify its electrical system against storms like Superstorm Sandy.
Mayor Dawn Zimmer announced the agreement Thursday with the federal Department of Energy, state Board of Public Utilities, PSE&G and Sandia National Laboratories.
The project grew out of the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force headed by HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan. As a smaller urban area, Hoboken is seen as an appropriate testing ground that could serve as a model for other towns and cities.
The city suffered extensive flooding and power outages from Sandy at the end of October when a storm surge pushed the Hudson River over its banks. Zimmer said a "smart grid" system could keep power on at key locations such as emergency services facilities, hospitals and waste treatment plants. She and other officials said part of the plan could include backup generators powered by natural gas.
"This energy resiliency partnership is an essential component of a comprehensive approach designed to protect Hoboken," Zimmer said. Other plans include adding more flood pumps along the waterfront, developing green infrastructure to capture rainwater and installing barriers to protect against storm surges.

What a spectacular paper wasp!
On a visit last week to the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven on Bee Biology Road, University of California, Davis, we saw a paper wasp (genus Mischocyttarus) foraging in the fava beans with assorted ladybugs, aphids and ants.
This particular genus is characterized by a long, narrow petiole between the thorax and abdomen. Talk about narrow! We wouldn't be surprised if the term, "wasp waist" (referring to women girdling their waists in the 19th and 20th century to look "becoming") originated with Mischocyttarus.
The meaning of Mischocyttarus? It comes from two Greek words, mischos meaning "stalk" and kyttaros meaning "cell of a honeycomb."
Its family is Vespidae (yellowjackets, paper wasps, and hornets; and potter, mason and pollen wasps) and its subfamily is Polistinae (paper wasps).
The Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, a half-acre bee friendly garden located next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, is full of surprises throughout the year as insects share the garden meant for pollinators, especially honey bees.
The haven is open from dawn to dusk for self-guided tours; no admission is charged. The Department of Entomology is now offering guided tours ($4 per person).

AAA infielder Jordy Mercer has been called up to the big leagues for the first time. Mercer is mainly a shortstop but has played second and third as well. In 48 games this season he is hitting .303/.379/.417. It is expected the Mercer will see regular playing time, with Clint Barmes going to the bench.
To make room for Mercer on the roster, IF/OF Yamaico Navarro was sent to AAA.

Meetings of diabetologists justifiably occupy much time debating the management of ulcers of the feet, since a significant percentage of diabetics develop intractable ulcers leading to amputations.
These medical meetings correctly emphasise the importance of sensation loss and insufficiency of blood perfusion. However there is another necessary factor in the cause of foot ulcers, which is seldom discussed in these meetings, the abnormalities of alignment of the skeletal structures of the foot. Examples are clawing, veering and rotation of the toes and dislocations of the toe joints. These cause dangerous high foot-pressure areas which are a necessary prerequisite for foot ulcers.
Such deformities worsen progressively[i], and once deformation has started ulceration in the insensate foot becomes inevitable with time. Therefore these abnormalities require correction immediately they appear, immediately the toes begin to claw, immediately the calluses show on the soles, and immediately any abrasions or corns appear on their feet.
Most non-diabetics with these foot deformities readily seek treatment because they are prompted by pain.
However, those who cannot feel do not complain, and so often progress to ulcers, with eventual loss of the foot by amputation
Naturally vascular supply surgery might also be necessary but, once the ulcers have appeared, other treatments like full contact casts, debridement of ulcers and bone, and various forms of direct application are all too little, too late, and often fail.
This is a tragedy because correction of the anatomical alignment of the forefoot (claw toes, hammer toes, "bunions", corns calluses, metatarsal high pressure, and similar) can usually be easily, safely and permanently corrected by soft tissue releases. This reduces the incidence of ulceration dramatically and lessens the amputation rate.
Soft tissue realignment procedures are performed regularly on non-diabetics. Why then are they not performed in the far more urgent circumstances of diabetic sensation loss?
One reason is that podiatric and orthopaedic management commonly involves dividing and realigning perfectly normal bones, and often destroying perfectly normal joints. These procedures are dangerous (particularly in diabetics) because divided bones might not unite. Bones infected subsequent to surgical damage are exceedingly difficult to treat. Plates, screws, pins, spacers and Silastic hinges implanted in "conventional" surgery all increase the risks of infection. Further, bone surgery necessitates long periods of immobilisation which is detrimental to the physiology of the lower limb, producing yet another set of dangerous complications[ii]: Those without feeling run a high risk of abrasion by casts or other "immobilising" devices.
Clearly "conventional" surgery to bone is precluded in those without sensation or with complicated diabetes.
The belief that it is necessary to operate on bone has come about, and become entrenched dogma, because of irrationality. Bones cannot produce deformities and it is irrational to assault them. Deformities can only be caused by soft tissues pulling the bones into misalignment. The target for correction should therefore be the deforming soft tissues.
Because diabetologists have also been lead into this misapprehension they shy away from referring their patients for appropriate surgery, to the detriment of those who rely on their advice.
Soft tissue surgery is often performed successfully and safely on diabetics and those with sensory loss.
Leaving foot skeletal abnormalities in diabetics and sensory loss feet in the hope that complications will not occur is a misguided invitation to catastrophe.
[i] For various reasons the skeletal deformities of the foot are far more common in diabetics and those with vascular and neurological disease.
[ii] These include oedema, deep vein thrombosis, fungal dermatitis and sensitivities to the contact material.

Computer Administrator Pleads Guilty to Hacking Former Employers Computer System
The former director of information technology for a non-profit organ and tissue donation center has entered a guilty plea to intruding into her former employer's computer network.
At a hearing before U.S. District Judge David Hittner, Danielle Duann, 51, admitted to illegally accessing the computer network of LifeGift Organ Donation Center and then intentionally deleting organ donation database records, accounting invoice files, database and accounting software applications and various backup files without authorization.
LifeGift is the sole provider of organ procurement services for more than 200 hospitals throughout 109 counties in North, Southeast and West Texas. Duann was previously indicted on this charge by a federal grand jury on June 24, 2008.
According to the statement of facts in the case, LifeGift terminated Duann from her position as their director of information technology on Nov. 5, 2005, and the organization revoked all of Duann's previous administrative rights and access to the LifeGift computer network. Beginning in the evening of Nov. 7, 2005, and continuing into Nov. 8, 2005, Duann repeatedly gained unauthorized access to the LifeGift computer network via a remote connection from her home and intentionally caused damage by deleting numerous database files and software applications, as well as their backups, relating to LifeGift's organ and tissue recovery operations.
Further, according to the statement of facts, in an attempt to conceal her activities, Duann disabled the computer logging functions on several LifeGift computer servers and erased the computer logs that recorded her remote access to the LifeGift computer network. LifeGift suffered damage and losses in excess of $94,200 as a result of Duann's computer intrusion and intentional, unauthorized deletion of programs and files.
Duann is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Hittner on July 28, 2009. She faces a maximum punishment of 10 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $250,000.
This case was investigated by the FBI and is being jointly prosecuted by Trial Attorney Thomas Dukes of the Criminal Division's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section and by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Bret W. Davis of the Southern District of Texas.

After a day in which they temporarily became waterfront businesses, shops and cafes on North Charles Street began reopening Thursday, when the river created by a massive water main break at 20th Street receded.
While several blocks remained closed to vehicular traffic, pedestrians, bicyclists and the occasional skateboarder enjoyed the dry pavement and fewer speeding cars. About 450 moviegoers headed into the Charles Theater for a talk and screening with director Oliver Stone. Restaurants welcomed back the business they lost to Wednesday's gusher from a 60-inch, 90-year-old broken main.
"You can't cry about it with all the people who lost their homes a couple days ago," said florist Vander Pearson, referring to the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
He and his staff had to walk a couple of blocks to meet a delivery truck that couldn't drive to the shop, Pearson's Florist at Charles and North Avenue, to drop off his order. They wheeled a cart usually used for their summertime snowball stand, retrieved several long boxes of flowers and greenery, and hurried back to the store to arrange them into sprays for a funeral later in the day.
"They saw us on television," Pearson said of the customer who had called, worried that the shop wouldn't be able to deliver.
Some businesses remained idled, though, as Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. cut off a gas line to 46 commercial and residential buildings in the vicinity of Charles and 20th Street to accommodate crews repairing the nearby broken water main. Crews began restoring gas to some of those customers Thursday night, and more would be restored Friday, BGE said.
But merchants were glad the muddy water that had coursed down Charles on Wednesday narrowed by Thursday morning to a stream on the east side of the street. Eventually, even that trickled away.
"Baltimore's an old city, so you've just got to deal with it," said Tony Jobst, standing outside the Club Charles, which his girlfriend's family owns. The kitchen and heating system of the club, famous for its John Waters sightings, are gas-powered.
Jobst and Tom Alexander, general manager of the 1722 After Hours dance club next door, visited on the sidewalk, watching the work crews and enjoying the midday quiet when the street was still blocked off from traffic. It reminded them of the several years starting in 2000 when their stretch of the street dead-ended just to the south, while the bridge over the Amtrak tracks was being rebuilt.
"It's our own little area," Alexander said. "Neighbors help neighbors."
Indeed, Jobst had just left the club about an hour before the main broke and sent water coursing down Charles, but one of those neighbors put sandbags in front of the club's doors to protect it.
Merchants depend on one another for business as well. Across the street, workers who had arrived at Sofi's Crepes in the morning, thinking they were just going to clean up, instead fired up the griddles when they saw the crowds arriving for the Oliver Stone event at the Charles.
"There was no damage," said Chase Gillian. "We were very fortunate."
Sofi's manager Joe Delano said they served about 30 customers, a bit fewer than a typical weekday lunch.
"It's been pretty slow," agreed Erin Taylor, who was serving a few customers at the Bohemian Coffee House. "We were closed yesterday because of the water."
With the sun out, a couple of customers at both cafes enjoyed outdoor tables. Even as the cleanup continued and traffic was blocked on Charles and a few adjacent streets, this has always been as much a walk-to as drive-to neighborhood. And on Thursday, it took on even more of a village atmosphere during the hours when there was no car traffic.
"We have such a loyal customer base … a very pedestrian kind of crowd," of MICA students, workers at the nearby Walbert office building and others who live in the community, said Kevin Brown, co-owner of the Station North Arts Cafe.
Brown, who seemed to know every customer by name, prepared breakfasts and then lunches for his regulars, happy that he was not forced to close even on Wednesday.
By the evening rush hour, cars were allowed back on Charles up to North Avenue, where it was blocked off for the two blocks up to 21st Street. Remaining closed to vehicular traffic were the westbound lanes of North Avenue between St. Paul Street, and Charles and Lanvale Street between St. Paul and Maryland Avenue. Lafayette Street was re-opened to through traffic.
Crews were able to begin pumping water that had collected in the void under the street where the main had broken, said Kurt Kocher, spokesman for the city's Department of Public Works.
He said homes and businesses in the area are not likely to lose water service as repairs continue, although water pressure may be down. The city does not have an estimate for how long the repairs might take.
"We want to expedite it as much as we can because we have a major intersection here, and we have traffic concerns," Kocher said.
BGE crews remained on the scene as a precaution, said spokeswoman Rachael Lighty, though none of the natural gas infrastructure has been compromised. She said the company cut gas service as a "proactive measure to ensure the integrity of that gas main."
She did not have an estimate on when the gas service would be completely restored. Customers who have flooded rooms should not walk through standing water if they have not shut off their electricity, Lighty said.
BGE had locksmiths opening the doors to some businesses Thursday morning so crews could shut off gas service.
Sherman Smith, co-owner of Club Choices nightclub, was livid when he found his door had been pried open by a locksmith.
"Who gives BGE authority to break into the building?" Smith said, noting that neither he nor his business partner were contacted. He said he goes to the club everyday but it only opens on Saturdays.
Lighty said the company uses locksmiths only as the last resort. She said the standard procedure is to make several attempts to contact customers, including leaving door hangers with instructions to contact BGE to shut off service. She said automated messages were also sent to customers Wednesday night.
Smith, who also owns the neighboring hair salon, Perfect Touch, had to close on Wednesday and only had a few customers on Thursday morning. But he was hopeful that the after-work crowd would be back now that the water had subsided and traffic was restored.
"I've had a few people walking in," said Smith, who moved his salon to Charles Street about five years ago from Woodlawn. "I wanted to be in the city because of the foot traffic."

'A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder' leads Tony Award nominations
NEW YORK >> The musical "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder," a comedic romp in which a poor man eliminates the eight heirs ahead of him for a title, nabbed a leading 10 Tony Award nominations on Tuesday. Nominations were spread out for most other shows, reflecting the lack of a juggernaut this year.
"Hedwig and the Angry Inch," a cult off-Broadway hit that this season stars Neil Patrick Harris, won eight nominations, while "After Midnight," a musical celebrating Duke Ellington's years at the Cotton Club nightclub, got seven, tied with "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" and "Twelfth Night."
"I'm in shock," said Lena Hall, a Broadway veteran who earned a best featured actress in a musical for her gender-bending part beside Harris in the rock show "Hedwig and the Angry Inch."
The lesson she said of her nomination — in addition to always jump at the chance to work with Harris — is to "do what you believe in and do what you love." Hall, who has appeared in "Cats," ''Tarzan" and "Kinky Boots," said she was waiting to call her parents who were still asleep in San Francisco. "I really wasn't expecting this at all. This is crazy."
The nominations also made waves for snubbing some big names, including Denzel Washington, Daniel Radcliffe, James Franco, Zachary Quinto, Michelle Williams, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig.
The musicals up for the big prize in June are: "After Midnight," ''A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder," ''Aladdin," and "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical." Shows that failed to make the cut include "Bullets Over Broadway," ''Rocky," ''If/Then" and "The Bridges of Madison County."
"It's good to be acknowledged," said Andy Karl, who plays Rocky and has transformed his body over three years into a fearsome boxer. "It's nice to know it was worth the time and effort." Of the lack of a best musical nomination for the show, he said he was disappointed, adding: "That's how the Tony cookie crumbles."
"A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" was nominated for best book by Robert L. Freedman, best original score for Freedman and Steven Lutvak, best costumes by Linda Cho, best direction by Darko Tresnjak, Jonathan Tunick's orchestrations, best featured actress in a musical for Lauren Worsham, best scenic design for Alexander Dodge and for its two lead actors: Jefferson Mays and Bryce Pinkham.
Disney's "Aladdin," an adaptation of the 1992 animated movie featuring a rambunctious genie, earned five nominations, including one for James Monroe Iglehart, who plays the genie.
"I know it sounds cliche, but I'm so happy to be nominated. I get to sit down at the Tonys. I'm not in the back. I'm not watching it on television. I get to sit. There's a ticket with my name on it," Iglehart said. "And I don't have to pay for it!"
Five-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald earned a leading actress in a play nomination for "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill." That's the one female acting category in which she hasn't already notched at least one win, meaning she is in a position to make history as the Tonys' first grand-slam performance winner.
The best new play category has James Lapine's "Act One," Terrance McNally's "Mothers and Sons," Robert Schenkkan's "All the Way," John Patrick Shanley's "Outside Mullingar" and Harvey Fierstein's "Casa Valentina."
Mark Rylance got two nods: One as a leading actor in a play for "Richard III" and another as a featured role in "Twelfth Night." Stephen Fry also got a nomination for his featured role in "Twelfth Night."
She will compete in June with Mary Bridget Davies in "A Night with Janis Joplin," Sutton Foster in "Violet," Jessie Mueller in "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" and Kelli O'Hara of "The Bridges of Madison County."
Tony Award-winner Idina Menzel, the "Frozen" singer who got a dose of attention when John Travolta mangled her name at the Oscars, also got a nomination for her role in "If/Then," the only totally original new musical on Broadway this season.
She will compete in June with Mary Bridget Davies in "A Night with Janis Joplin," Sutton Foster in "Violet," Jessie Mueller in "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" and Kelli O'Hara of "The Bridges of Madison County."
The best play revival category includes "The Cripple of Inishmaan, "The Glass Menagerie "A Raisin in the Sun" and "Twelfth Night." There are only three options for best musical revival: "Violet," ''Les Miserables" and "Hedwig and the Angry Inch."
A new rule this year allows for a fifth nominee in the four major production categories — best musical and play and best revivals for each — if at least nine shows are eligible and the fifth-highest vote-getter finishes close enough to the fourth.
Some 870 Tony voters — members of professional groups such as the Wing, the League, Actors' Equity Association, the Dramatists Guild and the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society — will decide the final awards, which will be handed out June 8 at Radio City Music Hall. Only Broadway shows that opened in the 12 months ending on April 24 are eligible.

With his extra-large stature, Jake is sure to catch the attention of visitors to our farm. He certainly likes it that way! With his easygoing personality, this Percheron gets along with everyone. In fact, he's so dependable that he began mounted police horse training. As part of his training at PFF, Jake took part in an equine-assisted program for veterans and first respondents. When we saw the extent to which his kindheartedness inspired trust from the program participants, it was clear Jake had found his calling. In June of 2018, Jake found the perfect partner, and we think he and his new owner make a great pair.
Lola came to our farm as a retired off-the-track Thoroughbred. After the birth of her precious foal Letti in May of 2016, she began training to work off her baby weight and found a new career as a lesson horse. This blue ribbon mare showed an especial aptitude working with young riding students at WHOA, LLC, moving around the riding ring with a steady gait that would never suggest she used to gallop for a living. In July of 2017, she was adopted by a WHOA, LLC student. Lola will continue to live at PFF as a member horse, where she will assist in riding lessons and community programs.
When we first glimpsed Niko's picture posted at the auction yard in winter of 2015, our hearts melted. It didn't take long before he was adopted. A shy, endearing horse, this Percheron/Clydesdale cross had very little experience being ridden prior to arriving at PFF, and he was at first unsure of himself during training. PFF helped Niko's adopter treat his fused patella, cracked hooves, a pinched nerve along his spine, and a skin disease festering in his luxurious leg feathers, the result of neglect and poor hygiene. In 2017 his owner's situation changed, and he was returned to our foundation for re-adoption. We are happy to say that as of May 2017 Niko has found his forever home at a new stable in Maryland!
Spring 2015Spring 2016
Malcolm was rescued from a "kill pen" auction in May of 2015 along with PFF horses Mya and LuLu. At his young age of 3, Malcolm was especially susceptible to illness from interacting with so many horses at the auction and needed to be nursed through a case of equine strangles virus. It took months for him to put on a healthy weight before he could begin training. During this process, Malcolm bonded very closely with a PFF volunteer who adopted him in March of 2017. Take a look at these pictures to see Malcolm's journey at PFF and get ready to marvel at what a difference the love of our caregivers can bring about in a horse.
Duke was rescued from at-risk auction in June of 2016. He is an off-the-track Standardbred who later spent several years as an Amish cart horse. The scrapes you see on Duke's face were quick to heal, and his main challenge at PFF was building his confidence. Duke remained shy for a long time and was nervous learning and practicing new skills. Thankfully, he found a very special human willing to coax him out of his shell. After his adoption in March of 2017, Duke continues to live at our farm as a member horse.
Rembrandt, or "Remy", is a Warmblood gelding who was privately adopted from a slaughter auction in September of 2012 and came to PFF as a member horse. On the day of his arrival, Remy had the most poorly neglected hooves the PFF team has ever seen and was nearly lame on all four legs. PFF worked with Remy's new adoptive family to ensure that he received the right balance of nutrition, supplements, and exercise to begin training in cross country, hunter, and dressage. After just a few months, he earned 2 first place ribbons and 1 second place ribbon at his very first horse show! In summer of 2013, Remy and his owner relocated to his permanent riding stable, where this happy guy continues to be spoiled and pampered. Below you'll see some examples of Remy hard at work with PFF's training staff.

I thought it could be related to wrong timings, but now I found a way to get better mouse movement with the same timings, so maybe they're right. Below is part of Steem doc. Noticeable is that delays are longer than they should be, and this for one case, Froggies over the Fence. And there's a hack in Hatari for it as well:
Not sure the delay is the same as in Steem (70 ACIA cycles), but it's the same idea.
Code: Select all
/* TODO : an extra delay of 7000 cycles is necessary to have $81 and $80*/
/* received after the overrun condition was cleared at the 68000 level. */
/* Does it mean some timings are wrong with acia/ikbd ? */
In the text below RDRS and TDRS are the shift registers for ACIA's in (RDR) and out respectively (TDR).
ACIA <--> IKBD timings
Data is transmitted at 7812.5 bauds between the ACIA and the HD6301.
7812.5 bit/s, 10bits should translate into 1280 ACIA cycles/byte
(Even less if we should count 8 bits: 1024).
In Steem, we must use 1350 cycles instead, that is 70 cycles more,
or Froggies menu won't work well.
No improvement in ACIA emu could lower this number, so we try and
justify it instead
When the CPU sends $4, IKBD sends 4 bytes.
With adapted timing, 2 bytes are ignored due to ACIA OVR, the
program uses the 2 remaining bytes and it works.
With theoretical timings, 3 bytes are ignored and it's broken.
Possible explanation: there's starting & finishing delay for each byte,
because copying TDR to TDRS and RDRS to RDR takes some time in both chips,
maybe more in one that the other.
For example:
Code: Select all
ACIA/IKBD transfer
Baud 7812.5
#bits 10
bytes/s 781.25
ACIA frequency 1000000
ACIA cycles/byte 1280
TDR->TDRS delay 25
in CPU cycles 200 (value OK for Nightdawn and Hades Nebula)
RDRS->RDR delay 25
in CPU cycles 200
ACIA cycles/byte 1330
MC68000 real frequency 8021248
MC68000 used frequency 8000000
ratio 1.002656
ACIA cycles/byte 1333.53248
More delay in 6301? 16.5
ACIA cycles/byte 1350.03248 (value OK for Froggies over the Fence)
MC68000 cycles/byte 10800.25984
This is speculative.
Anyway, a difference of 70 ACIA cycles isn't too terrible. It looked worse
before because
- WinSTon/Hatari used a "measured" value of 7200 (CPU cycles)
That was the older versions. In current version of Hatari there's a low level
emulation of the ACIA, but we notice a hack for Froggies in it as well, where
the timings are made longer than theory.
- 7812.5 baud is ambiguous, it isn't clear that you must add control bits to
get real speed.

Eddie Free, Voluntaryist, Tries To Thwart Falls Church Police
New article in the Huffington Post about voluntaryism! After this and Radley Balko's column last week on the Keene Bearcat vehicle, hopefully New Hampshire and the FSP will get a few new members!
- Login to post comments
Oh the horror! Just imagine a society like this! From the HuffPo article:
"Voluntaryists would do away with the state altogether. There would be no public roads, no public police force, no public education, no Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, no Congress, no courts, no gun laws, no seat belt laws. There would be no Treasury Department printing paper money. There would be no taxes. There would be no war. There would be no restrictions on interpersonal interactions."
For Progressive and Conservative control freaks this probably sounds as close to hell on Earth as it is possible to imagine other than, say, Auschwitz. Oh well, any publicity is good as long as they spell the name right, eh?

I have known Rhonda since 2004, when the first large wave of food allergic children began entering the nation's school systems. I personally benefited that year from her early research on advocacy strategies and disability law, leveraging...

Rhonda Riggott Stevens' work and advocacy efforts with food allergy and asthma management have been cited by school districts, used in college courses, and written about in various books, magazine and newspaper articles nationwide. Since she has taught in all levels of education, she has a unique and comprehensive perspective on the disability designation process and the inner workings of classrooms and schools for children of all ages.
Our consultations allow you to:
Children protected under Section 504 are commonly those with ADD, ADHD, OCD, Diabetes, AIDS, Asthma (that does not affect educational performance) and allergy just name a few. The criteria by which a child with severe food allergy is eligible for protection under Section 504 is that the physiological condition / disorder of food allergy affects the respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular and skin body systems. The physical impairment of food allergy could substantially limit breathing during an anaphylactic reaction. In addition, the U.S. Office for Civil Rights U.S., Department of Education formally recognizes "allergy" as a "hidden disability."
This 504 Plan Outline is divided into PARTS A-O, and within each part there are sub-topics. To create this outline, I collected 504 Plans for children with severe food allergy from around the country. I also researched the format of 504 Plans for children with other disabilities who are protected under Section 504. I extrapolated the questions parents and 504 Team members asked themselves when they created the 504 Plans.
This outline is not intended as professional advice, and these questions are simply the ones I will ask myself while crafting my own child's 504 Plan as part of a 504 Team. I am not a doctor, and this outline is intended as a parental resource only. Please be aware that no 504 Plan can ensure the safety of your child, and only you, your physician and your school district can work together to create a 504 Plan that is appropriate for your child. This outline is not intended to replace the medical advice, prescriptions or treatments prescribed by your doctor.

Texas State students host Grafik Intervention in Dunbar Historic District
By Paige Wilkerson
University News Service
March 15, 2012
The Communication Design students in Roselynn Newton's Typographic Design course at Texas State University-San Marcos will host a Grafik Intervention on Mar. 22 from 8 to 10 p.m. on the corner of West Martin Luther King Drive and South Comanche Street in San Marcos.
Grafik Intervention, originally created by a Ferris State University assistant professor, William Culpepper, uses digital projections to engage the public through visually dynamic and compelling methods.
Texas State students were asked to find local, abandoned buildings and transform them, for one night, into a visual commentary that will engage the community into a discussion regarding the state of the sites.
The three sites selected by students are located in the Dunbar Historic District: the 1884 Hays County Jail, the 1908 First Baptist Church and the 1930 Ulysses Cephas' historic home. Students will share the history of the abandoned buildings through the projection of images on the structures themselves.
"I hope to show the citizens of San Marcos that as a body of students, we are actively involved in the community," said Seth Davis, senior in the typographic design course.
The event is free and open to the public.
To follow the project, visit txstgrafikintervention.blogspot.com or connect through social media at facebook.com/txstgrafik and twitter.com/txstgrafik.

Based on our experience in supporting enterprise-class customers with virtualization infrastructures, we would like to share with you some recommendations and best practices for a highly effective support relationship.
Educate Your Administrators. We have found that customers who invest in VMware customer education courses for their administrators are much more effective in defining the symptoms of problems and in working with us to resolve the underlying issue. The return on this investment is almost immediate when you consider the cost of the education versus the cost of downtime. VMware has a formal certification program (VCP) that offers technology professionals the knowledge, skills, and credentials to deploy and maintain VMware virtualization technology.
Plan Ahead. Before deploying our products, you will need to review VMware Release Notes and other related technical documentation for your environment. Of particular interest are the installation, configuration, and running of guest operating systems. We also recommend that you carefully define your project plans and include adequate test time and a "crisis" plan to ensure your administrators know how to contact the vendors involved. For more complex infrastructure changes, VMware offers a variety of consulting services including the VMware Virtual Infrastructure Methodology (VIM) to help you assess your existing systems and applications, and then use that knowledge to plan, build and manage your virtual infrastructure.
Assign Appropriate Resources. Individuals assigned to deploy VMware products should be experienced in the installation, operation, and maintenance of the hardware, desktop, server, network operating systems, and applications in your environment before installing VMware software. Many installation issues are actually issues with 3rd party components and software. These issues would exist regardless of whether you were installing on a physical machine or a virtual machine. If you require assistance, VMware consultants are available to identify the best solution for your environment, develop the solution and implement it right the first time.
Utilize Self-Help. Organizations can take full advantage of VMware self-help tools available on the Web. Through the VMware Technology Network, you can find technical documentation, knowledge base solutions, discuss issues with other administrators in our Discussion Forum, and reference our white papers, tech notes and compatibility guides.
Provide Complete and Accurate Information. As with any troubleshooting process, accurate and timely resolution depends on accurate and timely information. If a virtual machine exhibits abnormalities or crashes, please run the "vmsupport script" to collect the appropriate log files and system information. Information on how to run this script for the various platforms can be found in the User Manual's Introduction Section in the online documentation.
Keep Your Profile Up to Date. We encourage you to create and maintain your profile information. You should register immediately after product purchase. This minimizes some of the overhead in processing your SR and allows us to respond to your requests quickly and effectively.
Register Your Products. Product registration is key to associating your support agreement with the correct product. Until you officially register the product, there may be some delays in processing your SR.

Officials at Ghost Town in the Sky continued to pressure Maggie Valley leaders this week to pony up a $200,000 loan to help the beleaguered theme park get up and running.
In a special meeting Monday (April 27), Ghost Town CEO Steve Shiver said the loan could make or break whether Ghost Town reopens this summer.
"We are in a tedious and precarious time. We wouldn't be here unless we were at the end of our rope," Shiver said. "My whole livelihood is at stake and my whole future is at stake."
Town aldermen expressed reservations about putting taxpayer money on the line. While hotel, restaurant and gift shop owners in Maggie are lobbying for the loan, aldermen said they also have to consider the average residents not engaged in the tourism business.
"We are looking out for the entire valley — all the taxpayers. Your side is one-sided, our side is broad," Alderman Mark DeMeola told Shiver. "We have a lot of responsibility. We have more to answer to than just the business community."
Shiver argued that if the town's tourist economy goes under, the whole town will suffer. DeMeola said he recognized that, which is why the town was willing to entertain his pleas in the first place.
"You have an undertaking in your hands that a community is teetering on," DeMeola said. "You deserve our utmost respect and the respect of the entire valley."
DeMeola suggested holding a vote to gauge public sentiment since it is their money on the line.
"If the voters say 'Yeah,' I say 'Man, go ahead and do it,'" DeMeola said.
Shiver questioned the wisdom of a town-wide vote, however. Voters are not an accurate reflection of the town's taxpayers, he said. Many of the hotel and restaurant owners pay taxes but don't technically live in the town limits and therefore couldn't vote, Shiver said.
Alderwoman Saralyn Price suggested holding a public hearing instead so everyone could weigh in, whether they are a voter, town taxpayer or none of the above.
"I represent the people and I want to see what they think," Price said.
Town Manager Tim Barth said a public hearing was in order anyway if town leaders intend to consider the loan request. State statutes require the town to hold a public hearing before granting an economic development loan to a private enterprise. The earliest one could be held is in two weeks.
Shiver said the park could use the money much sooner, as they need money to get open by May 22.
Alderman Phil Aldridge said the "eleventh hour" request has given town leaders little time for due diligence.
"Everything I've ever done in life, I have pros and cons and I write them down," Aldridge said.
The town's attorney, Chuck Dickson, recommended getting detailed financial statements and a business plan from Shiver before moving forward.
"If I were lending money to someone I would want to act like a bank and want as much financial information as possible, extremely detailed, every single thing I could find out about the ability of the borrower to repay," Dickson said.
DeMeola agreed.
"It may not be a service to you speed-wise to do this, but we need ample time for the town to have everything detailed," DeMeola told Shiver.
Shiver said a business plan for pulling through bankruptcy is in the works and could be shared with the board. Shiver said Ghost Town's owners and investors have pumped millions in personal assets into the park already.
"I don't have any more money to put up," Shiver said.
Shiver couldn't say whether the park would pull through bankruptcy even if it did land a loan from the town.
"I am not speculating," Shiver said in an interview following the meeting.
Shiver said the park is moving toward opening day. Ghost Town in the Sky held a job fair over the weekend, attracting hundreds looking for seasonal work. Shiver said tickets are selling online and advertising is under way.
Where they stand
Mayor Roger McElroy was the only alderman to say he wholeheartedly supports the loan, pledging he would vote for it.
"There are too many motels and business people that really can't make it without Ghost Town," said McElroy. "When Ghost Town was down before we couldn't buy new sheets or new towels. We had to scrimp by."
The same goes for other tourism-dependent businesses, McElroy said.
Ghost Town was closed from 2002 through 2006. The park's original owner — who ran the park for 40 years — shut it down, partly due to old age and partly due to crumbling infrastructure and failing rides that required a major capital investment to restore. The park sat dormant five seasons until the current owners came along and reopened it in 2007.
Meanwhile, Alderman Colin Edwards was the only one to say he was wholeheartedly against the loan.
"I want Ghost Town to succeed, don't get me wrong. But I don't want to lose $200,000 of the taxpayers' money and have to go up on property taxes," Edwards said in an interview after the meeting. "I want some security they will pay this back and they cannot give us that security."
The loan is equivalent to 6 cents on the town property tax rate for one year (see info box).
Price, DeMeola and Aldridge were neutral in their comments, postponing judgment until hearing from the public.
If the town did agree to a loan, strings would be attached, they said. Town aldermen want to ensure the money would only be spent on operations, like making payroll for hourly workers, DeMeola said. Shiver countered that some workers are salaried, pointing to his human resources director who happened to be sitting in the audience.
Getting paid back
Ghost Town was forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March after being unable to keep up with payments on its $9.5 million in mortgage on the property. Bankruptcy filings revealed another $2.5 million in unpaid bills to small companies, from souvenir purveyors to contractors to ride engineers.
Town leaders wanted to know how they would be paid back should the park go under.
Shiver said the town would be in line behind a $9.5 million mortgage on the property, but in front of everyone else owed money. Ultimately, however, the bankruptcy judge would decide where Maggie ranks in line. There are a few debts in addition to the mortgage that would most likely rank ahead of Maggie, such as back property and sales taxes and bankruptcy attorney fees. Other lenders being courted to put up money are also being promised they will be first in line behind the $9.5 million mortgage.
"I am out every day trying to get additional financing," Shiver said.
Shiver said the assets of the land, rides and buildings are worth well over $9.5 million, but if the park was liquidated through the bankruptcy process there's no guarantee it would fetch enough to pay everyone back. Edwards said all they have is Shiver's word.
"They ain't got no payment plan to pay us back. We've not seen nothing in writing," Edwards said.
Want to weigh in?
Maggie Valley leaders will hold a public hearing at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 14, on whether to give Ghost Town in the Sky a loan of $200,000.

How does the GNC Weatherization Program work?
How does the GNC Weatherization Program work?
The program is designed to help working and middle class families, especially those living in homes built or manufactured pre-July 1, 1991. Home owners and renters living in houses, apartments and manufactured or mobile homes can receive assistance to make their homes more energy efficient.
Funding for weatherization comes from various sources and each source has slightly different rules and regulations for assistance, explained a recent press release from Great Northern Corporation. GNC has a full waiting list of potential clients that fits its federally funded program but right now, GNC has Pacific Power funding for weatherization clients that have electric heat sources in at least 51 percent of their home, the release said. This means anything that does not require fuel: space heaters, baseboard heat, wall heaters, electric forced air units and the like. Monitor heaters are not electric.
The program can replace single pane windows with double pane, add insulation and weather strip doors and windows, to name a few items.
Assistance is based on income qualifications that take into account the monthly income and the size of the household. As an example, a household of three people would qualify for assistance if the monthly combined income is $3,271.66.
Income amounts for family sizes greater than six persons were determined based on the following calculation:
Add 3 percent to 132 percent for each additional family member, multiply the new percentage by $46,738, and divide by 12.
Example: household size of seven: 132 percent + 3 percent = 135 percent times $46,738 = $63,096.00 / 12 = $5,258.00 per month.
Income guidelines change each calendar year and reduced limits are the trend. Therefore, if a client is close to qualifying, sooner is better for applying.
If you know of potential clients who meet the 51 percent electric heat source requirement, ask them to contact GNC's Weatherization assistant, Dawn at (530) 938-4115 ext. 115 (Monday through Thursday).

Mariners announce radio contract extension
SEATTLE -- The Mariners' radio contract with 710 ESPN Seattle has been extended through 2016, the club announced Monday, as the team agreed to exercise a two-year option with Bonneville International on its current contract.
"Our relationship with Bonneville and 710 ESPN is an excellent one," Mariners president Chuck Armstrong said. "We look forward to three more seasons on 710 ESPN's powerful signal and the Mariners Radio Network across the Northwest."
The Mariners have been broadcasting on 710 ESPN Seattle since 2009 after coming to agreement following a six-year absence from what previously was KIRO-AM. KIRO was also the team's flagship station from 1985-2002.
"We are delighted to be part of the rich tradition and the exciting future of Mariners baseball," said Carl Gardner, Bonneville's vice president and general manager. "It's our privilege to allow fans to follow their team at home, in the car and on the go across the Northwest."
The Mariners will continue to have a year-round presence on 710 ESPN, including all regular-season and most Spring Training games, pregame and postgame programming, a weekly magazine feature during the baseball season, and the Hot Stove League during the offseason.

When you think of Little Debbie, what comes to mind? Oatmeal Cream Pies? I thought so. The Oatmeal Cream Pies were my favorite Little Debbie snack. The creamy filling always managed to put a smile on my face. Now, I'm ready to put that smile on my face again – all while being gluten free and still delicious. 🙂
Oatmeal Cream Pies
They may not be the Little Debbie recipe, but they are pretty darn close!
- 1 cup vegan butter
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups gluten free flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups gluten free oats
For the Cream Filling:
- 2 teaspoons very hot water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 (7 oz.) jar marshmallow cream
- ½ cup vegan shortening (Earth Balance)
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream the vegan butter, sugars, molasses, vanilla, and eggs.
- In a medium bowl, combine the gluten free flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and stir to combine; mix in the oats.
- Drop tablespoon sized scoops onto the cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until just starting to brown around the edges. Be careful not to overbake them; they will look moist. They are supposed to be moist. (The moist cookie is one of my favorite parts of the cookie)
- While the cookies are baking, in a small bowl, dissolve the salt in the hot water and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Combine the marshmallow cream, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla and mix on high until fluffy.
- Add the salt water and mix well.
- Spread the filling onto the flat side of one cookie and top with another.

January 27, 2015 (KyivPost) Eleven months after Russia started a war against Ukraine, beginning with the seizure of Crimea, the nation's parliament finally decided to call a spade a spade. The Jan.27 session of the Verkhovna Rada recognized Russia as an aggressor state and the Kremlin-backed Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic as terrorist organizations. Ukraine wants other nations to follow suit. With 271 votes out of a 421-seat body, parliament decided to send this statement to the United Nations, European Parliament, Parliamentary Assemby of the Council of Europe, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, GUAM (an economic union of Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Moldova) and other countries' parliaments, asking the world to recognize Russian aggression against Ukraine, and its occupation and annexation of parts of Ukrainian territory. "Ukraine remains an object of aggression on behalf of Russia, which it conducts through support and supply of major terrorist attacks," the statement reads. "In less than two weeks, over 50 peaceful citizens of Ukraine were killed in Volnovakha, Donetsk and Mariupol over the shelling and actions by terrorists supported by Russia."
Parliament also called on for international recognition of separatists' republics as terrorist organization and asked for military and humanitarian aid for Ukraine and more sanctions against Russia. "Cynicism of Kremlin aggression, which includes support of terrorists at the state level, makes killing of innocent peaceful citizens a daily event," the statement said. Parliament's speaker Volodymyr Groysman said he will sign the address shortly.
Russia and separatists later slammed the decision of Verkhovna Rada. "This is of course mindless and irresponsible statement, which probably aims to block the search of compromise," said Grigory Karasin, deputy head of Russian Foreign Ministry. "If it's true, than it's impossible to talk about any Minsk agreements," said Vladislav Deinego, representative of government of self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic. Ukrainian lawmakers said that the new decision allows for additional ways of internationals pressure on Russia.

What Are The Best Online Sportsbooks?
Choose the best online sports betting site from our list for all your betting needs.
NBA Odds Legend
Point Spread
The point spread is commonly known as just the "spread," and is the number chosen by sportsbooks that they believe will encourage an equal number of people to wager on the underdog and the favorite. The negative value (-7.5) means the team is favored by 7.5 points. The positive value (+7.5) indicates the lead given to the underdog before the game begins. In this example, the favored team must win by at least eight points in order to cover the spread. The underdog team can lose by seven points or win, to cover the NBA point spread.
What about the odds attached to the spread? For the above example, it would look like -7.5 (-110). This indicates how much you have to risk in order to win $100. This value is commonly called the vig or juice. At -110, it translates to risking $110 to win $100. This basically means the sportsbook will make a 10 percent commission to book that bet. If you win, you get it back. If you lose, you lose the bet plus the 10 percent commission. The underdog odds may be +7.5 (+105). This means that a $100 stake will return a $105 profit if your team covers the spread.
Mostly used in baseball and hockey betting, moneylines on NBA games have become more popular, especially in betting underdogs. This means that the NBA team you wager on simply needs to win the game, not necessarily win by a specified number of points. Just like a point spread, negative values denote the favorite (-200) and positive ones indicate an underdog (+180).
Example: if you want to bet that -200 favorite, you would wager $200 to win $100. Betting the underdog, you would risk $100 and win $180 if the underdog wins the game straight up. It's a way to replicate the risk-reward scenario without the benefit of a point spread.
Total or OVER/UNDER
Known better as the NBA OVER/UNDER, the total is a number set by oddsmakers estimating how many points they feel will be scored in an NBA game by both teams combined. More specifically, it is a number sportsbooks hope will encourage an equal number of bets on the OVER as on the UNDER. Regardless of the oddsmaker's logic, here is what you need to understand: If you wagered UNDER 204.5, you'll want the combined score of both teams to be less than 204 (example 103+96 = 199 is less than 204.5). If you bet OVER the NBA total, you are hoping for a 110-100 final score which would be 210 total points.
Betting on an event in the future is a fairly popular and entertaining form of wagering. For the purposes of NBA betting, this translates into odds on who will win the NBA championship. Oddsmakers refresh and update futures odds all year long. If a team is leading the league, its odds will improve. If a team is slumping and suffering from injury problems, it will see its odds drop. For example, the NBA's top team may be +300 to win the championship while the last-place team might have +50000 odds.
There are other types of NBA futures that will be appearing on Odds Shark in the near future. Odds to win the NBA Eastern Conference and Western Conference will be included. As well, future props on who will win the NBA MVP and other fun futures will be added, so bookmark us and stay tuned!
