Top seed Novak Djokovic earned his first win at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco on Tuesday. The world no.2 eliminated Martin Klizan 6-3, 7-6 (4) to reach the second round of the ATP World Tour 500 tournament.
Novak had to save four break points before converting his own chance for a 4-2 lead. He took the first set three games later.
The 29-year-old Belgrade native was up a break early in the second set, but Klizan broke him twice and moved 4-2 ahead. It looked as if the match would head to a third set, but Nole broke back immediately and outplayed his rival in the tie-break for the straight-sets victory. The Serbian clinched his third ATP Head2Head meeting with the 62nd ranked Slovak in one hour and 34 minutes.
"It's always tough to win the first match but I'm happy with my game, especially in the first set, hopefully I can keep playing like that", Djokovic said.
Match statistics: aces (3-2), double faults (0-3), winners (9-25), unforced errors (11-30), total points won (76-59).
Novak will next meet Argentine Juan Martin del Potro (ATP #32) who defeated American qualifier Frances Tiafoe (ATP #89) 6-4, 3-6, 7-6.
It will be their 16th career meeting (11-4 H2H).

The Story Girl by L M Montgomery
Thursday, October 11, 2007
I recently learned that the book I read for the 1910's decade, "A Tangled Web," by Ms. Montgomery, was actually published in the 1930's. To be true to this challenge, I quickly found another Montgomery masterpiece. "The Story Girl" has the same flavor and magic as the "Anne of Green Gable" series, and Sara Stanley (the title character) is every bit as memorable and endearing. Her voice is fantastic: "If voices had colour, hers would have been a rainbow. It made words live." Her stories can make the listener cry, laugh, or shiver in terror. Montgomery shares many of her stories interspersed amongst this tale of eight children spending an idyllic life on Prince Edward Island. It's an enchanting story of a time and place I wish I could have experienced. As always, the author paints beauty, innocence, humor and charm in the pages of this delightful novel. I marked so many passages, but will just share a few:
"Harvest was ended; and though summer was not yet gone, her face was turned westering. The asters lettered her retreating footsteps in a purple script, and over the hills and valleys hung a faint blue smoke, as if Nature were worshipping at her woodland altar. The apples began to burn red on the bending boughs; crickets sang day and night; squirrels chattered secrets of Polichinelle in the spruces; the sunshine was as thick and yellow as molten gold; school opened, and we small denizens of the hill fams lived happy days of harmless work and necessary play, closing in nights of peaceful, undisturbed slumber under a roof watched over by autumnal stars."
"She loved expressive words, and treasured them as some girls might have treasured jewels. To her, they were as lustrous pearls, threaded on the crimson cord of a vivid fancy. When she met a new one, she uttered it over and over to herself in solitude, weighing it, caressing it, infusing it with the radiance of her voice, making it her own in all its possibilities for ever.
"Even skeptical Dan prayed, his skepticism falling away from him like a discarded garment in this valley of the shadow, which sifts out hearts and tries souls, until we all, grown-up or children, realize our weakness, and , finding that our own puny strength is as a reed shaken in the wind, creep back humbly to the God we have vainly dreamed we would do without."
"The dusk crept into the orchard like a dim, bewitching personality. You could see her--feel her--hear her. She tiptoed softly from tree to tree, every drawing nearer. Presently her filmy wings hovered over us and through them gleamed the early stars of the autumn night."
I did not originally list this on my Canadian Challenge for Prince Edward Island, but I'm including it anyway. I like to think of it as a good representation of that place even though I've never been there. (Maybe someday).
I just learned that there are several books in this series so I am going to try to read more of them in the future. I just love Mongtomgery's books.

Oh! I had this as my 1910's choice for the Decades Challenge 2008, but decided to read Anne of Green Gables for 1900's and didn't want to read the same author, so I chose something else. However...I'm glad to know it's a winner! I will save it for another time. :)

I always like when people enjoy LM's stories. I read some darker short stories for the RIP challenge.Let me know if you are coming to PEI - booklogged and I and her husband met for chowder and a great visit. It really is beautiful here, but don't cme in January. It's still beautiful, but green is so much nicer than white.
Booklogged said...
What a wonderful title. And a rating of 5. Are you going to put this on your mooch inventory?
Framed said...
It was on my bookmooch list along with the sequel and then I read it again. I must have been crazy. This is too good a book to give away. But maybe we can work something out on the side.
John Mutford said...
I'd never heard of this book before. Thanks for sharing!
Court said...
I just love Montgomery's books too. :) Happy to hear you enjoyed this book, it's positively adorable, as is the sequel.

With the 23rd Pick in the NFL Draft, the New York Giants select Evan Engram from the University of Mississippi. All Ole Miss fans were shocked, considering many scouts & expert claim he was going to be a 2nd round pick in this years' draft. However, the New York Giants saw something in him that made him worthy to draft.
Ole Miss fans should rejoice that not only is going to play for the Giants, but he is going to play alongside with former Ole Miss Quarterback Eli Manning. The Ole Miss legend has lead his team to two Super Bowl championships in the last decade. Last Year Eli threw for 4,027 yards and 26 touchdowns. Even though Eli has been in the league for 14 years he hasn't started slacking yet.
Engram will also look to help with the wide receivers even though he is a TE. He has a wide receiver type of body. The Giants has one of the best WR group in the league. They have former LSU Tiger Odell Beckham Jr. The Giants also picked up Brandon Marshall from the N. Y. Jets and Sterling Shepard, who had a pretty good rookie campaign.
I think Engram has the skill set to be a good tight end in the league. I don't know why people always put him behind former Alabama TE O.J Howard. I think he is better. Not to take anything away from what Howard has done, but I just see Engram a little bit better. It should be a great year in NYC.-The Kid WAOM!
Would love to hear from you. To comment just click.

'The V12 Vanquish, the most recent addition to the ranks of Aston Martin heritage vehicles, is a car beloved by modern day enthusiasts and also heritage collectors alike. The car's appearance in 'Die Another Day' ensured its place in James Bond history and has helped to make this an instantly recognisable model. Importantly, the Vanquish saw huge developments in engineering and design, many of which formed the basis for the development of the current Aston Martin model line-up.' – Aston Martin.
An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the V12-engined Vanquish coupé debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001. Aston Martin's first power unit of its type, the 6.0-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine developed 460bhp at 6,800rpm, with 400lb/ft of torque available at 5,500 revs. The six-speed gearbox was controlled by F1-style paddles and could be operated in either of two modes: fully manual or computer-controlled automatic, with a 'sport' setting available on both. The inventory of standard equipment included almost everything the discerning connoisseur could wish for, while the performance - 190mph and 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds – placed the Vanquish firmly in the supercar class.
Dominated by an imposing aluminium centre console, the interior featured Connolly leather upholstery and Wilton carpeting, emphasising the Aston Martin heritage, for despite its advanced specification, the Vanquish was built like all other Astons before it: one at a time and by hand. Production ceased in 2007, by which time the model had been upgraded as the Vanquish S and the UK list price had risen to over £183,000.
One of the final models to be manufactured at Aston Martin's famous Newport Pagnell factory, this beautifully presented left-hand drive Vanquish was originally built for the German market. First registered in the UK on 1st June 2016, it has been prepared to show winning standard and achieved a class win at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn Concours that same year. Since then, this Vanquish has been kept covered in dehumidified storage, and has only covered a mere 6,000 miles from new. The car is finished in Tungsten Silver Metallic, with contrasting Charcoal interior trim. To the generous complement of standard equipment, this particular example adds the following options: grey brake callipers, heated seats, quilted headlining, heated front screen, rear parking sensors, and centre console matching the exterior body colour.
This car has full Aston Martin service history, including its time in Japan, and even comes complete with the glove box tools. Freshly serviced by Aston Martin Works and MoT'd for 12 months, this beautiful Vanquish is ready for European touring.

Strong holiday sales drive jump for U.S. retail sales
WASHINGTON - U.S. consumers went on a shopping binge last month as the holiday season began, leading to big gains among online retailers, electronics stores and furniture stores.
The Commerce Department said Thursday that sales at retailers and restaurants jumped 0.8 percent in November from the previous month, after a 0.5 percent gain in October. Consumers' willingness to splurge should give the economy a boost in the final three months of the year.
A category that mostly includes online shopping rose 2.5 percent in a sign of the continuing dominance of e-commerce. Sales leapt 2.1 percent at electronics stores and 1.2 percent at furniture stores.
"A good start to the holiday shopping season," David Berson, chief economist at Nationwide, said. "Consumers are responding positively to solid job gains, increasing income growth, and record levels of household net worth."
The figures were lifted by a large increase in spending at gas stations, which mostly reflected higher prices. But sales also rose at clothing stores, sporting goods retailers, and home and garden stores.
Auto sales slipped last month after rising in previous months as residents of Texas and Florida replaced hurricane-damaged cars. But auto dealers were the only retailers to report a drop in sales.
Consumers are more confident than they have been since 2000, according to surveys. Unemployment has fallen to a 17-year low, and the economy has generated job gains for 86 straight months.
Those trends are accelerating growth.

In response to the current refugee crisis, the King Baudouin Foundation is working to create solutions to the problems now facing Belgian society.
The Foundation will be offering support to organisations and reception structures in three areas:
- Providing information and raising awareness among populations who live close to reception centres
- Providing a framework for citizen initiatives to offer guidance to refugees
- Social interpreters to aid the reception process
On Wednesday 23 September the Board of Governors of the Foundation decided to make available 900,000 euros immediately and release a further 4 million euros in 2016 and 2017 to finance a programme for the integration of refugees in Belgian society.
The Foundation has been working in the area of integration of migrants for more than 10 years.
It could not stand aloof from the plight of people who are seeking asylum in Europe at the risk of their own lives as they flee from war and violence in their own countries and seek to build a new life here.
After discussions with the Cabinet of Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration Theo Francken, together with Fedasil and the main NGOs working in this area, the Foundation has identified three areas of activity in which more can be done at this time.
1. Providing information and raising awareness among people living close to the new reception centres:
The King Baudouin Foundation will make 300,000 euros available to raise awareness among people who live close to the 15 new asylum centres that will be created by the end of 2015 and administered by Fedasil, Het Rode Kruis and la Croix-Rouge.
2. Initiatives to create a framework for voluntary action by citizens and manage donations (sponsorship programmes, neighbourhood initiatives etc.):
The King Baudouin Foundation will make 250,000 euros available to the umbrella organisations supporting local initiatives by citizens and asylum seekers (Caritas Belgium, Red Cross, Ciré, Flemish Refugee Action).
Through a call for projects launched by the Foundation itself, 100,000 euros will be distributed to support 11 sponsorship projects. The aim is for guidance to be provided to refugees (including unaccompanied minors) by citizens to help the refugees to gain a better understanding of Belgian society and find his or her way through the various steps that need to be taken.
3. More social interpreters
The King Baudouin Foundation will distribute a total of 250,000 euros among the three integration agencies in Belgium that make translators and interpreters available to various social services, with the intention of recruiting extra staff.
Making integration succeed in the medium and long term
In the medium and long term it will be vital to ensure that refugees are successfully integrated within the fabric of society. Huge challenges are emerging in the areas of housing, language learning, education, employment, citizenship, in the area of culture and religion etc.
The Foundation also aims to provide support in this area. The themes and methods will be selected through consultations with the regional ministers responsible for this domain and with civil society. In view of the scale of the need, the Board of Governors has decided to set aside 2 million euros in 2016 and a further 2 million in 2017.

Ford Motor Company recently recalled the 2007 Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego for issues with the fuel tanks. The recall affects roughly 3,000 vehicles from the 2007 model year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The NHTSA reported that the welding between the fuel tank and the fuel filler neck spud may be inconsistent, and this issue could affect the strength of the joint and cause it to crack. A crack in the fuel tank could lead to gasoline leakage, which might cause a fire.
Ford owners can take their cars to dealers for a free replacement, and if they have already replaced the fuel tank, they can file for reimbursement until August 31.
People who are considering purchasing the Montego or the Five Hundred with a bad credit car loan should make sure the recall repairs were performed before they buy the car.
The American automaker also recalled more than 14,000 of its 2011 F-series pickup trucks at the beginning of the year, according to AutoRecalls.us. In spite of recalls, Ford managed to show a 10 percent improvement in sales last month, compared to the numbers from June 2010, The Sun Chronicle reported.

Max Beckmann, Nude Dance, from the "Berlin Travels" Cycle (1922)
Max Beckmann's (1884-1950) traumatic experiences in the medical corps during World War I led to a profound change in his art. "Berlin Journey" was one of several postwar print cycles that depicted a weary, disappointed, and disillusioned society. Many of the figures represented in the "Berlin Journey" drawings were prominent artists and intellectuals who had undergone significant wartime and postwar ideological transformations. Beckmann, who did not actively support any political group or party (and who rejected the label Expressionist), produced the majority of his print works during the years 1918-1923, a period that saw a boom in German art printmaking. In a 1921 article in the magazine Die Rheinlande, Siegfried Kracauer wrote: "There is no other painter in Germany today who experiences our troubled times as deeply and who has expressed this experience with such incomparable skill as Max Beckmann."

Two Things Individuals Do Certainly Not Understand When It Comes To LASIK Eye Surgical TreatmentsThe eye can be taken a look at with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A practical examination includes the ability to relocate the orbit and the response of the student to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be tested in numerous ways. The client might be asked to determine illuminated letter or things of varying sizes on what is understood as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous ways. Tension within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In certain illness, specifically in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased significantly.
It should be well kept in mind that a client with an eye issue may have other problems. Typically other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can inform the patient and the doctor to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms present themselves.
One's dependence on sight is emphasized when one deals with a short-term or possible permanent loss of this important sense. For this reason, when corrective steps are sought, particular types of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are troubled with the truth that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgeries were developed to motivate decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this type of surgery, one's vision is remedied permanently.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are completely transformed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary function of this surgery is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, enabling better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that people must understand. Probably, the main factor why this type of eye surgical treatment has ended up being well accepted is because the majority of its cases had been effective.
Nevertheless, in spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgery involves the operation of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive parts of the eye, the majority of people say that click now the operation can be very risky.
In other words, a basic error could almost cause an person's lifetime blindness. Thus, it is very important to think about many elements prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the best restorative step one needs to undergo.
2. It is not a ideal treatment
LASIK eye surgery might correct your vision but it does not necessarily suggest that it can give you a perfect vision. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always mean they have perfect vision too.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK might not always be the ideal eye surgery the way many people view it
Conversely, the examination of the structural part of the eye might be made in numerous methods. It should be well remembered that a client with an eye issue might have other problems. Typically other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can inform the physician and the patient to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other signs present themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction.

In being an oldest sibling, having reference in my own children, and meeting many young families with young kids through my "job"….i've really taken notice to the fact that the older siblings very often take on that role. Being a "mini Mommy or Daddy" as they say. It's really sweet, and Miss B was right there helping me out to keep her siblings happy and attentive the whole time. Tracy, tell her I said she can be my assistant any day 🙂 It was great meeting all of you, I can't wait to show you your entire gallery, but for now…here is a sneak peek.

Clemson Student-Athletes Establish Records in Classroom
|2009-06-12 14:09:37.0-
Clemson, SC - Clemson's 15 sports programs had an overall grade point average of 2.97 for the Spring 2009 semester, the highest on record, according to data released Friday by the school's Department of Institutional Research. The previous mark was 2.93 set in the spring of 2007.
Additionally, 242 of the 448 student-athletes were named to the academic honor roll (3.0 or better), 54 percent. That is a record for the highest percentage of student-athletes on the academic honor roll for one semester.
"We are very proud of this report," said Clemson Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips. "We are closing in on a 3.0 GPA average for our athletic programs, which is outstanding. There has been consistency in academic excellence for our programs and it is a testimony to the hard work of our staff at Vickery Hall, led by Becky Bowman, and to the importance our coaches are placing on academics. Department wide we are in good shape in terms of our graduation rate, APR scores, and grade point averages."
Seven programs earned a 3.0 or better for the semester, including the women's swimming (3.48) and women's soccer teams (3.47). Those GPAs rank as the fourth and fifth best on record, respectively, for any Clemson sports program since statistics were first calculated in 1987. The all-time record is a 3.64 by the women's tennis team in the spring of 1995.
Nineteen of the 23 members of the women's soccer team made the academic honor roll, while 31 of the 36 members of the women's swimming team made the 3.0 level or better.
Also earning over a 3.0 team GPA were the men's soccer team (3.18), the men's swimming program (3.09), the men's tennis program (3.11), and the women's track team (3.31). The women's track team's 3.31 team GPA was the highest on record for that program, while the men's soccer's 3.18 team GPA ranked second best in the last 16 semesters. The men's tennis team's 3.11 team GPA was the second best on record for that program.
The Clemson football team had a record 44 of its 96 student-athletes earn a 3.0 or better. The previous record was 41 during the fall of 2000. The team GPA in Dabo Swinney's first full semester as head coach was 2.61, the second highest team GPA on record.
The list of football team members on the academic honor roll included starters Kevin Alexander, Thomas Austin, Da'Quan Bowers, Mason Cloy, Rashaad Jackson, Jimmy Maners, Brandon Maye, Akeem Robinson, and Ricky Sapp. Thirteen of the players on the roster made the Dean's List, including starting offensive guard Thomas Austin and starting middle linebacker Brandon Maye, who are both returning academic All-ACC players.
The football program had the most academic honor roll members (44), seven more than the rowing program. It marked the first time since the spring of 2002 that the football team had the department best for academic honor roll members.
Clemson's women's rowing program finished 12th in the nation and won the ACC Championship in the spring semester. In the classroom Richard Ruggieri's team had a 3.17 GPA and had 37 student-athletes on the academic honor roll. The list of rowers on the academic honor roll included All-Americans Jessica Leidecker and Brittany Cummings and four members of the National Championship 4+ boat, Allison Colberg, Callen Erdeky, Kelly Murphy and Meredith Razzolini.
The most improved program academically was the women's basketball team, which improved from a 2.10 GPA in the fall to a 2.68 in the spring. Six members of the squad posted a 3.0 or better.
Other prominent student-athletes on the academic honor roll included Mike Freeman (baseball), Ben Martin (golf), Tanner Smith and Andre Young (men's basketball), Nathan Thornton and Bryson Moore (men's soccer), Tasha Taylor (women's basketball), Julie Bolt (women's soccer), Michelle Parkhurst (women's swimming), and Ina Hadziselimovic (women's tennis).

text: Florida Trail Journal - Section 21 Foley-Aucilla River Section 21 - Foley Beginning: US 221 End: State Road 257 A (State Road 14) Total Mileage: 21.7 Miles Conditions: Coastal hammock and planted pines. All of this section is on timber company roads. Blazing in this section may be faded or nonexistent due to logging activity. Use a map and stay alert to changes in direction. Section 21 West - Aucilla River Beginning: State Road 257 A (State Road 14) End: US 98 at Aucilla River Total Mileage: 20.0 Miles Conditions: Trail along riverbanks with sinks and rises south of Goose Pasture Road. Sinks refers to where river goes underground and emerges into pools. Trail sometimes uneven and slippery around limestone sinks. Shaded, cool around river. Forest primeval. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Monday March 13, 2000 Awakened by the lights in my tent. Got up and found the bandana frozen. Thermometer registers about 30 degrees. No wonder I felt cold. I had sat up twice to light my lantern to warm myself. Packed up and on the way a little later today. Do like getting up at 6AM when it's starting to get light. We're across 19-27 and into a much "quieter" (as in no truck movement) Section 21. Still carrying water. Econfina River and a nice quiet, longer than usual lunch. Short day today. Our destination is near the wooden bridge and we're there about 4:30, the walk has been well blazed at turns and some more trees and less traffic signs on these roads. We move down a small side road and pitch tents and make camp. Another nice fire but it's getting cold. This time I'm in all my cloths with my jacket zipped and 2 pair of sox. Posted by Jeff Walters on Friday, April 14, 2000. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Tuesday March 14, 2000 Section 21 West Cold again - stove to heat me during the night. Up and at-em by 6:10AM. Temperature registers 32 degrees this AM. Survived another cold night. Funny thing is, during the day it gets very warm and you have to "peel". Not too long and we're in the woods. Aucilla River for lunch. Good to be in the forest again. In Section 21, which we just left, we saw approximately 15 marks crossing the sand roads which appeared to be very large snakes. We never did see a snake. This trail is very close to the river which is very low at this year. We have opted to walk further than planned and camp in an open area near the river and under oak trees. Filtered water, cooked and built a small fire. Not as cold tonight but cooling. Slept with all my cloths except my coat. Posted by Jeff Walters on Friday, April 14, 2000. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Wednesday March 15, 2000 Didn't get as cold last night, but still chilly. Been getting up at 6AM because it's getting light, that means we're getting on the trail an hour later. No problem since I've slept ok. We've reached Goose Pasture Road and face the sinks. Trail moves back and forth near the sinks; some large, some small, some long, some short. Met two fishermen with a boat at one of the larger ones. Nice to see another face. The walk down Pal Hammock is Hot and "peppered" with trucks. Another 2 miles and we've reached our destination at 2:30PM. Next item: find a way to treat my leaking tent. Found a store in Perry that sells sealant, so we've driven in. He also has some "goop" to re-attach the soles of my boots. Didn't I mention that the boots were delaminating? Hope the stuff will re-seat the loose areas. The owner of the sporting good store has called the reporter next door and I'm going to be in the Perry Newspaper. Back to J.R.'s Store to meet next two partners and bid "Adieu" to the last. Time to re-seal my tent. Found out it may rain, so we're spending the night in a mobile home with washer and dryer! Thank you, Lord. Time to wash, dry, shower, repair items, "goop" my shoes and eat-eat-eat. 9:30PM has come soon.

(1) Short for Fanzine
An abbreviation. The word 'zine – with an apostrophe – is credited to Sarge Saturn in a fanzine review column he wrote for Startling Stories. The term herein will always apply to publications that come from the sf microcosm or one of its off-shoots…
(2) A Term for a Self-published Magazine
Mundane self-published magazines, once called "little magazines," that come out of the Factsheet Five phenomenon are now called zines or zeens. The difference between a fanzine and one of these may not be easily distinguishable, given that sf fanzines don't need to be about sf or fandom, but has to do with the publisher's sense of being part of fandom. Spelled zeen, it almost always refers to a mundane publication. (However, Earl Evers used zEEn as the title for his sf fanzine; the title emphasized his initials.)

Failure to Appear
When a judge grants you bail for a criminal charge, they do so trusting and expecting you will return. If you fail to return for those future court dates, you will likely face additional charges and may have real difficulty getting any further leniency from the court.
Even if it was an accident, we may have a bit of an uphill climb to convince a judge that your intentions were good. Maybe you forgot about your court date. Perhaps you had an emergency and just simply couldn't make it back.
But there are ways that you can make it right again. Contact our attorneys today to discuss how we can help you try to fix this without further damage.
Bail is essentially collateral or a promise that you will return to court. Even if you are released on your "own recognizance" (an OR bond), you must return to court when told or face future charges.
The Good News: If it's been less than 30 days since your missed court date, we can likely arrange for you to turn yourself in without additional penalties.
Nevada Failure to Appear – Penalties
If you are formally charged with failure to appear, the charge you face depends on the charges, and case you didn't show up to court for.
If you fail to appear on a felony charge, you will face an additional class D felony which carries a potential 1 to 4 years in prison and fines reaching $5,000.
If you fail to appear on a gross misdemeanor charge, you will face an additional gross misdemeanor which carries a potential 1 year in jail and $2,000 in fines.
If you fail to appear on a misdemeanor charge, you will face an additional misdemeanor with penalties of up to 6 months in jail and $1,000 in fines.
If you left the state to avoid getting caught, you will be charged with an additional class D felony.
Ref: NRS §199.335
When you're already facing criminal charges, getting slapped with additional charges can be the straw that broke the camel's back. You are likely stressed and extremely worried about how your failure to appear will affect your life and your other case.
Together, we can work towards the best possible results on your day in court.
Or maybe you are from out of town, and found it impossible to get back for your court date. If were a tourist, and couldn't make it back to a Las Vegas criminal court, for example, we may be able to help fix this for you.
Whether you missed a court date intentionally or had no choice, our Nevada criminal defense lawyers can help. Contact us today to discuss the specifics of your case and what to do next.

Listen to this article
Maceo Parker is one of the great stylists of the saxophone. His total approach to rhythm, harmony, tone and attack creates a musical energy of enormous power, which over the years has lifted the most mundane music out of obscurity.
Born in 1943, Parker came through the ranks of the James Brown band in its innovative 1960s heyday, and went on to play with Bootsy Collins's landmark Funkadelic organisation. Only recently, he was part of Prince's after-hours parties at this same London venue. Parker is at the heart of jazz-funk fusion and at this gig there was more than a hint that he was a "keeper of the flame" – references to past glories were scattered throughout and half the band had worked in one classic band or another.
Parker turned bandleader in the early 1990s and has now developed an on-stage demeanour that combines the smiling warmth of Louis Armstrong with a few moves and vocal delivery straight from James Brown. There is still lots of sax, and all the musicians get at least one feature, but with too much toasting and chat, he is veering dangerously close to cosy cabaret territory. He remains an incredibly exciting saxophonist and he has a great band, but the middle sagged with too many references to L.O.V.E. while his manager reciting Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy was, frankly, bizarre.
That said, large chunks of the gig captured the power, energy and intelligence of this edgy club music, and for the large part lived up to the opening chant "This Funk is off the Hook". The rhythm section is built from the bass up – bone-crunching riffs and just the right amount of decoration to fill in the gaps – and both guitar and keyboards proved in their fluent, multi-styled solos that they were much more than squad players. And they really are tight. UK trombonist Dennis Rollins's raucous freebooting and vocalist Martha High's funky reworking of "Think" were both crowd-raisers, and an encore of "Pass the Peas" was just about deserved. I'd just like more of Maceo's playing-the-spaces alto-sax. He zips into places that make even the familiar seem cutting-edge.

The Act of Hubris
Mage Character Advancement
To advance their command of one of the Arcana, a mage must increase their understanding of and sympathy with the secrets that Arcanum comprises. Mechanically, a mage builds [b]affinity[/b] with an Arcanum; once that Affinity reaches certain benchmarks, that mage's rating can grow (and that mage's player is can spend the appropriate Experience to allow for it).
Initiate: 1 affinity
Apprentice: 3 Affinity
Disciple: 6 Affinity
Adept: 10 Affinity
Master: 15 Affinity
Sources of Affinity follow:
Path (-1 to + 1): The mage gets +1 to pursue their Path Arcana and -1 to pursue their inferior Arcanum.
Teacher (+ 1 to + 2): The mage has a Known (+ 1) or Intimate (+ 2) connection to another mage with the desired Arcanum.
A "teacher" in an Arcanum doesn't literally have to teach it or, if they're of the right Path, even possess it to the desired level themselves. The student mage taps into not any particular knowledge or technique possessed by the teacher, but into their sympathy to the teacher and therefore the Arcana unlocked in the teacher's own soul. Friends, lovers, enemies, and cabal mates frequently serve as the conduits through which Arcana are learned as frequently as formal mentors do. It does help, however, for the teacher to be present for and aid with the student's training.
Tutelage (+ 1): Someone qualified to be the mage's Teacher is present when the mage studies or practices the Arcanum.
Training Time (- 1 to + 3 or more): The mage has spent a scene (- 1), a few days (+ 0), a few weeks (+ 1), a few months (+ 2), or over a year (+ 3) regularly studying and practicing the use of the Arcanum. For each year past the first, roll a chance die; add any successes to Affinity gained from training time, but on a dramatic failure, reduce Affinity by 1 to a minimum of 3.
Empathy (-1 to +1): The temperament and emotional state of the student is conducive to practice of the Arcanum. For instance, a practitioner of Death benefits from a somber acceptance of mortality, while a student of Time must free themselves from overly causal thinking. The player and Storyteller decide what this means for a particular character, and whether that character's attitude is naturally conducive or needs to somehow change; most commonly, a mage has empathy with their ruling Arcana but lacks it with their inferior Arcanum. To attain empathy, the mage must undergo some experience that brings about a change in their attitude or perceptions, as judged by the player and Storyteller.
Immersion (+ 1 to + 2): Immersion involves direct experience of the Arcanum and its purview. It requires that the mage witness or suffer the effects of spells of the rank they're seeking, or else experience phenomena analogous to a desired Practice; for instance, a prospective Mind Adept might seek out situations in which the loyalties, memories, or personalities of people drastically change. Covert magic or natural phenomena are worth +1 Affinity, while vulgar magic or the analogous powers of other supernatural creatures grant +2.
Understanding (+1): The mage has an intuitive grasp of the Arcanum's function and place in the world. Attaining understanding of an Arcanum involves discussion, research, or meditation, and usually a mental roll.
All the above categories are cumulative with each other, but not with themselves; for instance, a mage either has immersion or they don't. To push past these limitations, mages depend on one last source of Affinity:
Arcane Experience (+ 1 or more): As a mage perceives and engages with unique phenomena pertaining to the Arcanum they seek, their Affinity can grow unbounded. An Arcane Experience is a mystery that, when solved, reveals supernal truths about the action of an Arcanum in the fallen world. Generally, this means encountering something strange or apparently inexplicable (even to casual Mage Sight) and investigating until its nature and causes are clear; this might involve simply getting the chance to subject something to heavy arcane scrutiny, or meeting and interrogating the beings responsible, or capturing and study something otherwise elusive. Generally, the Experience helps a mage to appreciate the full scope of the Arcanum they seek, or to realize that Arcanum is present somewhere unexpected, or even to realize that Arcanum is absent where it would be expected and therefore possessed of a more specific bailiwick.
Each Arcane Experience is cumulative with any others, to no ultimate limit, but each must be experienced – simply learning of one secondhand isn't enough. Particularly far-reaching and anomalous phenomena might well be the source of multiple Arcane Experiences spread across multiple Arcana, revealing greater mysteries as they're engaged with and studied in increasing depth.
- 1: The phenomenon proves ultimately natural, but exceptionally rare or of occult import
- 2: The phenomenon is rooted in the action of 'common' supernatural beings, mages, or artifacts, though with some wrinkle or context that led to unusual results
- 3: The supernatural forces at work are somehow unique; particularly ancient, warped, or touched by normally-absent or extraplanar influences
- 4: The hands of truly momentous or esoteric forces such as spirit gods or astral aeons are at work
- 5: The direct action of unbound supernal entities is witnessed or felt
Only the greatest witnessed example of Imperial magic within the sought Arcanum counts as an Arcane Exerience for a given mage, worth points of Affinity equal to the Arcanum rating needed minus four. So, a mage with the opportunity to study a Prime 6 spell has +2 Affinity; if they then witness a Prime 9 spell, their +2 upgrades to a +5.
For whatever reason, the great powers marshalled by the Ministries, even the Ochema themselves, do not seem to serve as Arcane Experiences, either for the Seers or their enemies.
LEARNING ROTES: Mages can learn rotes from other mages or from grimoires, magical objects containing the secrets to one or more rote spells. A player whose character learns a rote can either spend experience points to add it to their character's other rotes, or replace one of their character's current rotes with the new one at no experience point cost.
By default, a rote takes as many days to learn as it requires total dots of Arcana to cast, each day containing roughly eight hours of study. An Attribute + Skill roll is made for the mage at the beginning of each day's lessons; the rote is mastered by the day's end if successes equal the days remaining, and each extra success halves the remaining time. A mage who knows the rote being studied can roll to impart information and guidance to the student, adding their successes as an Edge to the student's pool.
The traits a student rolls depend on the style of rote being studied; a rote that takes the form of a martial arts technique might require Dexterity + Brawl or Weaponry, while one based on scholarship might use Intelligence + Occult or Academics. An instructor might use the same dicepool as the student does, or roll a different one that represents their ability to teach.
A mage can always teach sensory rotes using only their ruling Arcana to other mages. For instance, a necromancer can teach a warlock how to see ghosts despite the fact that the necromancer has never had or required any formal training in the subject. Mages from multiple Paths can collaboratively design and teach each other sensory rotes that combine Arcana from all Paths present.
CREATING ROTES: To formalize a spell they can cast into a rote, a mage must first seek out occult knowledge and experiences pertaining to the intended rote's effect. For instance, a mage might cast the rote-to-be under a variety of different conditions at a variety of different targets, or seek out and catalogue unusual manifestations of the phenomena the intended rote will produce, or study foreign supernatural powers whose effects the rote will mimic. Generally, the more Arcanum dots a rote requires, the lengthier or more difficult unlocking its secrets is. The Storyteller decides what kind of research a given rote requires, though players should be ready with suggestions.
Once the mage has understood how to harmonize their intended supernal effect with the fallen world, they can attempt to create the rote itself. This resembles the process of learning a rote, except that the creator decides what dicepool is rolled to speed up the process and must spend one Willpower dot at its completion.

All 24 defendants charged with the death of President Anwar el-Sadat pleaded not guilty today, although the chief suspect in the assassination told a three-judge military court that he was ''guilty of killing Sadat.''
The suspect, Lieut. Khaled Ahmed Shawki al-Islambouli, was the first of the accused assassins called upon by the judges to enter a plea. A stocky man with a ruddy complexion, he stood in a huge cage, like those in a zoo, in which all the suspects were confined in the heavily guarded courtroom, and said:
''I am guilty of killing Sadat and I admit that. I am proud of it because the cause of religion was at stake.'' Lieutenant Islambouli's lawyer said that his client's outburst did not constitute a confession, and a ''not guilty'' plea was entered before the president of the court, Maj. Gen. Samir Fadel Attiya. The 23 other suspects entered similar not guilty pleas.
Death Penalty Sought for All
Lieutenant Islambouli and three others are accused of having assassinated Mr. Sadat as he watched a military parade on Oct. 6. The 20 other defendants are accused of complicity in the assassination. The prosecution has called for the death penalty for all 24.
The trial is being held at a military compound in Nasser City, a Cairo development not far from the parade ground where Mr. Sadat was slain. Security was intense at today's three-hour session, the second since the trial opened on Nov. 21.
The courtroom was filled with lawyers, relatives of the accused and members of the Egyptian and the foreign press. On numerous occasions the suspects, all Moslem fundamentalists, posed for television cameras, waving copies of the Koran and making victory signs.Continue reading the main story
Lieutenant Islambouli denied that the killing of seven other persons who were seated near Mr. Sadat in the parade reviewing stand was deliberate. He asked that Egypt's Defense Minister, Gen. Abdel Halim Abu Ghazala, be called as a witness because, he said, ''He was in front of me but I didn't shoot him, and he looked at me and I told him, 'Get away, you're not involved.' '' Sadat Called a 'Tyrant'
''I want this dog, this tyrant,'' the lieutenant declared he had said, referring to Mr. Sadat, who was flanked in the reviewing stand by General Abu Ghazala and Hosni Mubarak, who was then Vice President and has now succeeded Mr. Sadat.
The three military judges denied the request to call General Abu Ghazala and later denied a similar request to have President Mubarak appear on the witness stand.
During a recess, Lieutenant Islambouli shouted to his mother and to his wife, who was wearing a heavy veil: ''Do not be sad because I will be joining my God. We are free and you are the prisoners.''
His mother shouted back, ''We are not sad - pray for us.'' ''I am at the peak of joy,'' the lieutenant said, gripping the bars of the huge four-sectioned steel cage that the defendants are confined in while in court. Copies of the Koran Requested
At one point, Lieutenant Islambouli asked his mother for copies of the Koran, in addition to the one he clutched in his hands.Continue reading the main story

The New Rule of Success
Many years ago, Jim Rohn said you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. I agree, I've written about it, Identity and Associations. While it is true that who you listen, hang, watch, and learn from are critical to the way you think, behave and excel in life. This rule of thumb has it flaws… I spend the most time with wife, dog, our coaches and members at CPM. According to Jim Rohn that is the destination of where my net worth is headed. But what if it's something else that determines who you become and where you are going?
The New Rule of Success = "You are the average of the 5 actions you take every day."
"Are you drinking coke, slamming burgers, watching TV, scrolling your Facebook new feed at work and putting off projects that need to be done? Or do you wake up early, hit the gym (#get2thegym), drink tons of water, consistently doing positive work?
Average actions lead to average results. And truth be told, human being are NOT built for average. We are designed for GREATNESS! We've all had great days, when everything clicks, we feel great, we eat great, we are excited and happy. I bet if you took an honest look at that day you took great actions. And when we've had average (or below) days they have included, guilt, excuses, justifications and overwhelment.
Here are the 5 actions I'm taking Today;
1). Read. Currently I am wrapping up a great one, Perfect Day Formula. I listen to it on my phone through Audible.com. Everyday I listen to books or podcasts while driving, at the gym or in my home.
2). Mobility. Everyday I'm moving my body. Mobility (more than stretching) is a key ingredient to longer life and feeling better. Here is my coach, BodyFlexx
3). Coaching and Meetings. Teaching classes this morning. Sales meeting and one more class to coach in the afternoon. I always leave the gym PUMPED no matter who my day had started. Leading, motivating sharing always snaps me in a good mood or a great mood by the end of the day!
4). Date Night. Annie and I work and live together. But our schedules can get crazy (#crayCray) throughout the week. We learned in 2005 that having a weekly date night is a game changer for marriages. We've never missed a week:)
5). Contacting. Everyday I'm on text, phone, one of the social media(s) checking up members, prospects, old clients or friends.
What are the 5 actions you are taking today to secure your future? Be it health, career, relationships or personal fulfillment? Are making results or excuses? You will never get back Wednesday, December 21st, 2016 again.
You can direct your life towards your goals and your dreams. Make a commitment. When you FULLY commit you get creative and make things happen in your life. When you FULLY commit you will look at yourself and your life differently.
This time of the year is probably the greatest season to take an honest hard look at yourself to see what you've become and make a commitment to where you are going…
And when in doubt just #get2thegym

When You Learn More About Hotels, Your Stay Can Be Better!When you are planning to travel, whether it is for a family vacation or a business trip, a hotel reservation needs to be made. However, this is not a decision that should be made hastily. Choosing the right hotel is important if you want to really enjoy your trip. Keep reading for some good advice on doing so.
To accommodate a small family without having to pay for more than one hotel room, look for a location that offers suites. Often the rates are competitive with single-room rates at other hotels, but the addition of a living area (and a fold-out bed) means that more of you can sleep comfortably.
To make sure that you don't have an allergic reaction to the soaps and shampoos that you find in hotel rooms, bring your own, particularly if you have sensitive skin. While it's nice to find the freebies, the rash that sometimes results is quite unpleasant. Take along your own things to keep things clean.
Spend some time reading online reviews of hotels left by real customers before you make a reservation. These reviews are often your best source of information, since they are written by people who have actually stayed at the hotel. Be sure to pay attention to the most recent reviews, since the hotel may have already addressed older complaints.
When booking a hotel stay, always check the Internet. There are many travel sites located online that let you compare prices for hotel located in the city of your choosing. Additionally, you can save a lot of money by booking your stay during the weekdays. Weekend rates tend to be higher than weekday stays.

You've probably never thought about it, but try to imagine an ideal hotel bed that isn't white, and you'll see what we mean. And yet we all spend time trying to find colorful quilts and crazy bohemian-print sheets for our bedrooms at home... what's the deal? We Found The ONE Reason Why Your Hotel Bed Is So Perfect

Call the hotel you are planning to stay in and see if they offer any discounts. Many hotels offer discounts for senior citizens, business travelers, military personnel and government officials. Additionally, if you are a member of an automobile association, you may qualify for a reduced rate on your hotel stay.
To keep your incidentals at a minimum, especially when you are staying at a hotel outside the US, ask about the cost of wireless Internet before you check in, and especially before you log in the first time. Some hotels don't disclose the costly per-minute costs of Internet access, but they will certainly show up on the bill.

Be aware of the check in and check out times for the hotel at which you are staying. If you arrive too early, your room may not be ready, and you may have to wait a few hours to access it. If you fail to check out by the appointed time, you may be charged for an extra day. Knowing the hotel policies with regard to check in and check out times can save you some aggravation.
If the hotel you in which you are staying has a pool, find out what the policy is with regard to pool towels. Some hotels supply towels in the pool area or at the front desk. Others allow you to use the bath towels. Still others expect you to supply your own pool towels. Ask about this when making reservations, and pack accordingly.
Steer clear of long distance calls while in a hotel. You can use the Internet to make these types of calls. Skype connections are available in many hotels these days using Wi-Fi. This can be a much cheaper option than calling from a hotel room and getting hit with lots of fees.

If you have had issues in the past finding the right hotel then perhaps you should follow the advice that you have just read. There is no need to wind up in a hotel that does not provide you with the satisfaction you have paid good money for. It's the hospitality industry, and you are supposed to be in good hands.

NEW KINGSTOWN, Pa. - David Carruthers must be hoping that this first impression won't be a lasting one.
The veteran high school football coach, who won six state titles and 206 games in a 26-year career at Linganore and Urbana in Frederick County, Md., received a rude welcome to the Mid-Penn Commonweath in his first game as Chambersburg's head coach Friday night as the Trojans were manhandled by Cumberland Valley, 45-0.
Not that Carruthers was expecting to see the red carpet rolled out for him. He's well aware that Central Pennsylvania teams are out to show him that they are in a different class than those he was accustomed to playing against in Maryland.
There was no question that the Eagles were in a different class than the Trojans on Friday, and that was something that no amount of coaching was going to change anytime soon.

Well friends...this is my last creation for 2013! I am off to have a swim (and a drink) in the pool with my hubby before the neighbors come over for New Years drinks. I can't believe how quick this card came together for me and I am happy that I was able to use some new Annabelle stamps I got last month. For this card I have taken up the challenge from the Retro Sketches team. I usually struggle with this type of design but this one just fell into place. Until tomorrow...2014....all the best and I hope the new year brings you lots of love and good fortune. Happy New Year!!

execute_sql on delete profile field
Deleted user
Posts: 1
23 August 2012, 1:16 PM
I have a database with xUser table syncing with mahara artefact internal. Everytime a user update the profile, I use execute_sql() in commit() to save data to xUser table. It works great.
The problem I have is when users remove info from their profile fields. I have an execute_sql() to update xUser in delete(), but for some reason it doesn't get executed. I turned debug on and tried to display error/warning message if any, but the syntax seems to be correct.
Any suggestion or help is appreciated.

11. CAPEX to Sales Ratio = CAPEX to Sales Ratio measures the level of investments a company is making into its future. It compares the capital expenditure (CAPEX) to sales in a given period. CAPEX to Sales Ratio = (CAPEX in period t / Net Sales in period t) x 100
12. Net Promoter Score (NPS) = The Net Promoter Score, is based on the fundamental perspective that every company's customers can be divided into three categories: Promoters, Passives, and Detractors.
By asking one simple question — How likely is it that you would recommend [your company] to a friend or colleague? — you can track these groups and get a clear measure of your company's performance through your customers' eyes. Customers respond on a 0-to-10 point rating scale and are categorized as follows:
Promoters (score 9-10) are loyal enthusiasts who will keep buying and refer others, fueling growth.
Passives (score 7-8) are satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who are vulnerable to competitive offerings.
Detractors (score 0-6) are unhappy customers who can damage your brand and impede growth through negative word-of-mouth.
To calculate your company's NPS, take the percentage of customers who are Promoters and subtract the percentage who are Detractors.
13. Customer Retention Rate = Customer retention rate is the number of customers you manage to keep with respect to the number you had at the start of your period. This does not count new customers.CRR = ((E-N)/S)*100 where
1. Number of customer at the end of a period – E
2. Number of new customers acquired during that period – N
3. Number of customers at the start of that period – S
14. Customer Profitability Score = is the profit the firm makes from serving a customer or customer group over a specified period of time, specifically the difference between the revenues earned from and the costs associated with the customer relationship in a specified period
15. Customer Lifetime Value = is a prediction of the net profit attributed to the entire future relationship with a customer. Customer Lifetime Value = (Average Value of a Sale) X (Number of Repeat Transactions) X (Average Retention Time in Months or Years)

The Institute of Poverty Land and Agrarian Studies at the University of Western Cape, in partnership of Masifundise Development Trust invites you or a representative to a national roundtable discussion on " The state of Small Scale Fisheries in South Africa."
In 2012 a new Small-Scale Fisheries Policy was released; in 2014, the Marine Living Resources Act was amended to recognise the economic and social value of marginalised small-scale fishers in South Africa, and on 8 March 2016 the plan to roll out rights for small-scale fishers was signed by former President Zuma. It is now 2018, 23 years since the dawn of democracy and small-scale fishers are still waiting for rights to be allocated. The roundtable brings together fishers, fisher organisations, legal practitioners, academics, and officials to unpack and discuss the current state Small-Scale Fisheries, the implementation process, key challenges and joint strategies.

I regret that I've been too busy to blog lately, particularly in this crucial election year. However, despite my lack of time, I would like to put one point on the record prior to tomorrow's historic presidential election: Regardless of which candidate wins, this election can be accurately described as "the Breitbart election." Simply put, the ideas for which Andrew Breitbart advocated long before his premature death bore fruit [more . . . ]
In his recent piece, Charles Krauthammer set out two approaches that Mitt Romney can take in his campaign against the president. Stewardship or ideology. Krauthammer asserted that Romney would win with an ideology approach. In a previous post, I wrote that Romney needs to be an architect, not a handy man; he needs to have a vision for the country, not just a pragmatic fix for it. By picking Paul Ryan, Romney [more . . . ]
I like Mitt Romney. I supported him for the Republican nomination in 2008, and I support him now (and I have since the primaries began and the candidates were determined).

Series: Fairy Tale Fatal Mystery #1
Genres: Historical Mystery
Published by Berkley on 4 November 2014
Pages: 336
Reading Challenges: 2015 TBR Pile Reading Challenge
Most well-bred 19th century ladies would have an attack of vapours if their financial prospects suddenly turned bad but Ophelia Flax and Prue Bright are American actresses rather than ladies and are made of sterner stuff. Ophelia wheedles jobs as maids for them in a fantastical Black Forest castle complete with Snow White's cottage. Things take a turn for the worst when their employer's husband is poisoned and Prue becomes the main suspect.
Ophelia is a thoroughly unusual young lady and was a delight as a protagonist. Her chequered career as trick rider in the circus and Variety Hall actress serve her surprisingly well as a lady's maid. Not even a murder or having to pander to her employer, the irascible Mrs Coop, can keep her down for long and her keen wit kept the novel from getting too serious.
Prue might be beautiful and have more adventures than Ophelia but she is hardly quick witted. Locked up for a crime she didn't commit, she uses her feminine wiles on the gardener Hansel to repeatedly escape the tower she is incarcerated in. The burgeoning romance between the two is sweet but never overwhelms the plot.
Professor Gabriel Penrose is another odd duck with an unconventional background. He is a true believer when it comes to fairy tales but feels he has to publicly denounce them to keep the respect of his colleagues. Maintaining this façade became increasingly difficult when he realised that the so-called Snow White's cottage he was sent to investigate was probably real. Ophelia and Gabriel compliment each other well and I hope we see more of them together in future novels.
Chance's spin on the Grimm Brothers' Snow White was entertaining and kudos to her for not taking the easy route and adopting significant aspects of the original. There are many sly references to the Grimm Brothers' tales though and you'll have to concentrate if you want to catch them all. Some of the obvious ones include Mr Coop being killed by a poisoned apple, an old crone and a lost slipper. The pace is fairly leisurely which works well as it gives us time to get to know the characters and get immersed in the story. My only minor quibble with the book was the sheer number of secondary characters that we were introduced to. They add flavour to the book and muddy up the suspect list nicely but it was a bit hard to keep everyone straight.
This is not a fairy tale retelling but rather a historical mystery with significant fairy tale aspects interwoven throughout. I heartily enjoyed it and can't wait for the next in the series.
