This recipe marked the first time I'd turned to VegWeb for guidance in years. The veg recipe directory and LiveJournal's vegan cooking communities were my learn-as-you-go and read-the-comments because you can only-sorta-trust-the-internet tip toes into the vegan culinary world back in the early 2000s. It's like I can recall mildly freaking out when the number of nutritional yeast sauce recipes rose above 10. After our time apart, I admit that I really enjoyed seeing that most of the recipes I perused were still called "The Best Ever" "The Very Best Ever" "Mom's Best" "The Best in the World!!!!", etc. I like vegan enthusiasm.
To get to the point, I just decided to chance it on the internet, test my tastebuds and emulate the memorable vegan mac & cheese my friend Chelsea ordered at Bang Bang Cafe at Seattle this past weekend. I stole a couple of bites, and I was a little jealous that I hadn't ordered their smokey vegan mac for breakfast, too! I thought it was so good that it must contain vegan cheese, and was surprised to learn that it was tofu and nutritional yeast based! Swell.
Back to Bang Bang, where I fed my bourbon-induced mild hangover a more wholesome bean and roasted veggie filled burrito. When I returned, however, I had a potluck meeting to attend to the next day and after browsing my limited ingredients and finding a box of whole wheat shells, knew it was time to eye my 2 jars of Spanish smoked sweet paprika, Hungarian hot paprika, Hungarian half sweet paprika, Alder smoked salt and my good buddy, the giganto container of nutritional yeast flakes. The finished result didn't seem to fit everyone's tastes – which is how vegan mac & cheese always seems to work – but more than a couple folks seemed obsessed and another friend had me write down the recipe, so here we go. Dare I say I had fun making a mac & cheese recipe where you simply had to puree the cheesy sauce ingredients..because, I did.
Smokey Baked Mac & Cheese, adapted from Best Vegan Mac and Cheese in the entire world…seriously, as posted on VegWeb.com. I halved the recipe and made a few changes based on what I was aiming for and had on hand.Go, go smokey, creamy mac!
- 3/4 lb whole wheat pasta or rice pasta, preferably with ridges
Cheesy sauce
- 1/2 cup unsweetened nondairy milk (I used a combination of So Delicious coconut milk beverage and soy milk)
- 3/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
- 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil or non-hydrogenated margarine
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
- 1/2 cup soaked and drained raw cashews
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
- pinch cayenne
- pinch hot paprika
- generous pinch of salt (add more to taste after blending sauce)
- 1 tablespoon mustard (I used TJ's spicy sweet mustard)
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- OPTIONAL: 1/4 cup vegan cheese (I used Teese cheddar sauce)
- breadcrumbs
- pinch of additional paprika and cayenne
- olive oil mister/spray
- smoked salt
1. Preheat your oven to 350F. Lightly grease a small casserole dish. Boil the water and cook pasta 1 minute less than instructed. Drain and add to your casserole dish. You'll want at least a couple inches of room to be able to add the cheesy sauce.
2. Puree the cheesy sauce ingredients in a blender until smooth and adjust the seasonings to taste. Carefully stir into the cheesy sauce and vegan cheese, if using.
3. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly on top, followed by the smoked salt and additional paprika and cayenne, if using. Lightly spray with oil. Bake until the breadcrumbs looks golden, 15-20 minutes. Broil an additional 5 minutes, if desired.
Serve with steamed greens, unless you're nuts.


text: Sometimes, my LO vomits after I give her the supplement. But I am wondering if it's how I'm doing it and when. I always give it at bedtime and then I nurse her to sleep. And then sometimes, she vomits all over the place. She did eat alot of cheerios tonight at church and then came home and nursed. She was never a big spitter upper. She is 13 months old. It is just the enfamil supplement. Is there a better one that easier on her tummy? Or should I give it on an empty stomach? Or with food, rather than breastmilk. She barely eats any food, anyway, That's how we got ourselves in this situation to begin with.

Entitled Taking Liberties (it seems that nothing is original), it was written by Craig F. Smith, who was at the time a research fellow at the University of Glasgow and has since become a lecturer in the Department of Moral Philosophy at the University of St Andrews. By chance I happen to also be reading a short summary of the works of Adam Smith to which he provided commentary.
The article begins by reminding us of one simple fact that we long seem to have forgotten. Democracy is not an end in itself, but a tool we created to promote freedom. The aim of democracy was to give to the people the power to sack their rulers (we may now prefer to see them as our delegated decision-makers, even our administrators). Such power would act as a very effective check on tyranny, for the tyrant could be easily overthrown without the need to shed blood.
What democracy was never intended to convey was sovereignty. Democracy was basically a negative power: the right to take power away from a leader. But it quickly began to mutate into a positive power, conveying a right to act in the name of the people. In the UK, a sense of "popular sovereignty" merged with the traditional sovereign powers of the monarch – exercised through his prime minister since the early C18th – to give parliament unlimited powers. Note, for example, that in the UK parliament may amend the constitution by a simple majority in both houses – unlike in the US, where a two thirds majority is needed in both houses and three quarters of the individual state legislatures. This raises the very value of the constitution; what is a constitution if it is not distinct from the general nature of law.
The idea that democracy conveys sovereignty is anathema to liberty. Let us ignore, for the moment, the flaws inherent in our form of democracy, whereby a government can be elected with a strong majority in parliament based on just 37 per cent of the votes cast and only 22 per cent of the whole electorate, which means a tiny minority of the whole population. Let us instead assume that all governments rule with the support of a majority of the people. Even so, they enable the majority to impose their will on the minority. This creates two inherent problems. As This merely ensures that a series of temporary coalitions can form around individual views, constantly marginalising new minorities. They may be marginalised because of their race (Jews, blacks), their religion (Muslims, atheists), their lifestyle (smokers, hunters) or their affluence (the very poor and the very rich). But because democracy enables governments to please all of the people some of the time, they need never please all of the people all of the time. All governments need is for most of the people to be happy most of the time.
Democracies also lead to the rise of the professional politician. These days it is axiomatic that politicians need to devote all their time to their jobs, and so should be paid a handsome salary. Without payment, only the rich would be able to afford to devote time to public office, which would lead to plutocracy. Yet paying permanent politicians has its own dangers which are often overlooked. One is that they can afford to devote time to re-election while their opponents have a proper job to do. Another is that they have the time and incentive to shape legislation to guarantee their re-election. The result is a bias towards activism; politicians want to be seen to do things, and preferably to "bring home the bacon", to gain benefits for their constituents at the expense of the nation as a whole.
The result is that democracy actually undermines freedom. The two most obvious examples of this are the "ban culture" which prevails in Westminster, and the ever-spiralling tax rate.
Laws exist to ban things. Assuming that one accepts as a fundamental principle (and it is worth noting that this is true in Britain and America, but not in France) that everything is permitted that is not explicitly banned, then laws cannot convey freedoms (unless they repeal existing bans). Thus legislative activism naturally leads to greater limits to freedom. As Liberal Democrat Home Affairs spokesperson Nick Clegg MP has noted in a number of speeches, the Blair government introduced on average one new law every day. There are a lot of things we have been banned from doing over the past 10 years.
This is especially problematic due to a common confusion between the legislative and administrative functions of the government. The recent smoking ban is an excellent example of this. The government has an administrative role (as master of the NHS) to promote public health and to keep costs under control. Unable to do this by administrative means, it uses legislation to ban the things that it cannot control (activities leading to lung-related illnesses). It cites health and safety legislation but ignores the freedom of individuals to enter and leave premises and to take or decline jobs. In effect, it uses its supposed sovereign power to forbid activity that is disapproves of for reasons of administrative convenience.
Other examples are more blatant; it is widely accepted that the ban on hunting with dogs was largely about playing to Labour's gallery of class warriors and urban intellectuals.
The other inherent bias in the system is towards escalating taxation. Democracy enables the majority to impose their will on the minority. If the majority is poor and the minority rich, democracy acts as the great leveller (generally levelling down!), forcing the rich to give their money to the poor in direct transfers or by buying them services. As long as more people benefit than lose the measures will receive democratic support, even though the amount lost by the losers must equal the amount gained by the winners (in fact, the losers will lose more than the winners gain, as the inefficiencies of the system will lead to waste). Thus governments are inclined to continually raise taxation so as to dole out political favours to the masses at the expense of the productive few.
If this sounds doubtful, the following graph may be of note, demonstrating as it does the inexorable rise in Government expenditure in seven of the world's leading democracies following the massive expansion of the franchise in the late C19th and early C20th.
The result is particularly hard to reverse because it generates a dependency culture, an addiction to the state as the solution to all our problems. "Liberty means responsibility," observed George Bernard Shaw. "That is why most men dread it." Throughout my lifetime every crisis – natural or man-made, financial, physical or moral – has been met with the demand that politicians take action. 'Somebody should do something about this' is a common cry among those who have lost the habit of asking 'What can I do about this?' So instead of buying our groceries in local shops we demand that regulators throttle the supermarkets; rather than choose a smoke-free pub we demand that smoking is banned in public places; rather than find a better job or undergo training we vote for tax-credits.
Democracy, as Churchill noted, "is the worst form of government except all the others", and it is not my purpose nor is it Smith's to argue that we should abandon democracy. But we need to remember that democracy exists to serve liberty – not vice versa. There is a reason why some of us consider ourselves Liberal Democrats. Of course there is a role for the state: classical liberalism is about limiting, not eliminating, it. We must uphold and even defend democracy, but we must be open minded about it, too, and ready to recognise its flaws. We have allowed democracy to run away with itself, and it has taken our freedom with it.
Craig F. Smith has some suggestions for how to restore liberty within democracy – though he admits that they may be pie-in-the-sky and will certainly not be easily accepted. However, there a more fundamental lesson to learn. We have given up too much of our freedom by perpetuating the myth that in choosing who leads us we invest them with unlimited power. We must limit the power of parliament and the executive and re-focus responsibility in society on individuals. Bernard Shaw was right that freedom worries people and places great responsibilities upon them. But I hope Thomas Jefferson spoke for us all when he stated that he "would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."NOTE: The title of this article borrows from the film Taking Liberties since 1997, but refers to the first imposition of Income Tax in Great Britain.

- 1 Example Overview
- 2 Installation and Configuration
- 3 Running the Example
- 4 Example Details
In this example users can view and modify information for multiple sports leagues including extended attributes with the additional mapping information stored in an external source.
The MySports example is a web application which demonstrates EclipseLink's latest features:
- Multi-tenancy: The application can be deployed as a SaaS solution with multiple leagues being hosted by a common application instance and a shared database or an application instance can be configured to function as a dedicated application with a dedicated database for a single league.
- Extensibility: Each League's divisions, teams, and players can be extended dynamically to store and support querying of additional administrator defined properties.
- External Metadata: Using the JPA and JAXB MetadataSource capabilities the tenant specific extensions and mapping definitions are stored in the MySports Admin application enabling dynamic league provisioning and customization.
- JPA-RS: The domain model can also be accessed using REST
Example Overview
The MySports example includes the following projects: MySports: A dynamic web project which deploys the primary application, exposing a JSF and JAX-RS (REST) front-end.
MySports Admin: Administration console for the project.
MySports Tests: A Java project containing Junit tests that verifies the functionality of the example and creates the necessary database tables
Installation and Configuration
In order to setup and run this example the following install and configure steps must be followed carefully.
The MySports application is developed within its own GIT repositiory. Using any GIT tools the example can be checked out anonymously.
To run the MySports example, you will need the following:
- GlassFish 3.1 (http://glassfishplugins.java.net/eclipse36/)
- Eclipse Java EE with GlassFish adapter (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/)
- EclipseLink 2.3.1 OSGi Bundles (http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/downloads/)
Upgrade and Configure GlassFish
Use this procedure to upgrade GlassFish to use the current EclipseLink version and prepare the connection pool.
- Replace the following JAR files from <GLASSFISH_HOME>\glassfish\modules\ with the JAR files from the EclipseLink OSGI bundle:
- org.eclipse.persistence.antlr.jar
- org.eclipse.persistence.asm.jar
- org.eclipse.persistence.core.jar
- org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jar
- org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.modelgen.jar
- org.eclipse.persistence.oracle.jar
- Copy the following JAR file from the EclipseLink OSGI bundle to <GLASSFISH_HOME>\glassfish\modules\:
- org.eclipse.persistence.moxy_2.3.0.v20110604-r9504.jar
- Use the GlassFish Admin Console to create a new JDBC resource named jdbc/MySports and a new JDBC connection pool named MySportsPool. In this example, we will use the embedded Derby database:
- Resource type: javax.sql.DataSource
- Datasource classname: org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDataSource40
Note: Be sure to edit the JDBC Connection Pool properties to reflect your database connection information. In this example, we will use:
- User: APP
- Password: APP
- ServerName: localhost
- DatabaseName: gemini
- PortNumber: 1527
Configure Eclipse Environment
Now you can configure Eclipse to run the MySports example.
- Add a variable named eclipselink_2.3_jar with the value <ECLIPSELINK OSGI BUNDLE>\org.eclipse.persistence.core_2.3.0.<BUILD>.jar.
This is used for the javaagent of the test project. You can add this variable by creating a String Substitution variable, as shown here:
- Obtain the three example projects from the EclipseLink SVN repository:
Note: If you use the Eclipse Team Provider for SVN plugin (http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/downloads.php) Eclipse will can import the example projects.
- http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.persistence/branches/2.3/trunk/examples/my-sports/MySports/
- http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.persistence/branches/2.3/trunk/examples/my-sports/MySportsAdmin/
- http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.persistence/branches/2.3/trunk/examples/my-sports/MySportsTests/
- Start the Derby server. The GlassFish installation includes a Derby instance that can be used, in the <GLASSFISH_HOME>\javadb\ folder.
- Import the EclipseLink MySports projects into Eclipse.
- Create a new Derby connection profile. Use the same JDBC Connection Properties that you used when creating the GlassFish connection pool.
- Add the Connectivity Driver Definition for the Derby database to the project.
- Edit the eclipselink-examples-mysports.properties file to match your database connection information.
Running the Example
Now, you're ready to run the MySports example.
- Run the MySports AllTests launch target. This will create the database tables and prepare an initial population
- Run the MySports Admin application
- Run the MySports application
Example Details
MySports Domain (example.mysports.model)
The domain model is that of any arbitrary sports league. The intent is to build an application that captures the state of an arbitrary league and use it in a multitenant application where multiple leagues (tenants) can be hosted. The domain model is intentionally unaware of the potential support for multiple leagues and therefore only models entities that exist within an individual league.
@Entity @Table(name = "mys_div") @Multitenant(MultitenantType.SINGLE_TABLE) @TenantDiscriminatorColumn(name = "LEAGUE_ID", contextProperty = LEAGUE_CONTEXT) @NamedQueries({ @NamedQuery(name="Division.findAll", query="SELECT d FROM Division d ORDER BY d.name", hints={@QueryHint(name=QueryHints.QUERY_RESULTS_CACHE, value=HintValues.TRUE)}), @NamedQuery(name="Division.findByName", query="SELECT d FROM Division d WHERE d.name = :NAME") }) public class Division implements Extensible {
@Entity @Table(name = "mys_team") @Multitenant(MultitenantType.SINGLE_TABLE) @TenantDiscriminatorColumn(name = "LEAGUE_ID", contextProperty = LEAGUE_CONTEXT) @NamedQuery(name="Team.findByDivisionAndName", query="SELECT t FROM Team t WHERE t.name = :NAME AND t.division.name = :DIV") public class Team implements Extensible {
/** * In the MySports demo a Player entity represents an individual member of a * team. The Player entity is both multitenant and extensible. */ @Entity @Table(name = "mys_player") @Multitenant(MultitenantType.SINGLE_TABLE) @TenantDiscriminatorColumn(name = "LEAGUE_ID", contextProperty = LEAGUE_CONTEXT) @VirtualAccessMethods public class Player implements Extensible {
|An application interface used to indicate extensible types and enable their use in the presentation tier. This interface is not required or used by EclipseLink.
|A non-entity container class used for returning multiple divisions from a JAX-RS call to enable the MOXy marshalling into XML.
The persistence layer is the main purpose of this example application. The persistence layer makes use of application bootstrapped persistence contexts with support for an EntityManagerFactory and backing ServerSession (with Cache) per league (tenant). This all bootstrapped off of a single persistence-unit definition.
Runtime Architecture
The LeagueRepository is the primary persistence abstraction responsible for league (tenant) specific persistence access managing both JPA persistence units and the MOXy JAXBContext.
JPA Usage
The persistence layer makes use of standard JPA 2.0 API plus some EclipseLink specific extensions to support:
- Multi-tenancy - augment the SQL to limit results to current tenant or leverage Oracle VPD to do SQL augmentation
- Extensible Entities - support additional tenant specific attributes on entities
- External Metadata Source - retrieve tenant specific extension definitions for JPA and JAXB from JAX-RS admin service
- EMF per Tenant: EMF created per tenant with a single shared persistence unit definition
The configuration that enables multi-tenancy usage is the @Multitenant annotation that is specified on one or more entities. In this example application Player, Team, and Division are multitenant and are each configured using:
@Multitenant(MultitenantType.SINGLE_TABLE) @TenantDiscriminatorColumn(name = "LEAGUE_ID", contextProperty = LEAGUE_CONTEXT)
This specifies that the entities for multiple tenants are stored in a shared table and that the access to this table must limit its results to a specific tenant using the LEAGUE_ID column and the context property value specified by the LEAGUE_CONTEXT ("mysports.league").
Oracle VPD By default this example application will augment all generated SQL for SELECT, UPDATE, and DELETE to add in an additional comparison for the LEAGU_ID column. With INSERT operations the LEAGUE_ID column will be populated. Alternatively the example application can be configured to use Oracle VPD to handle the SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE SQL additions within the database. To setup and configure the demo application to use Oracle VPD you must be using an Oracle database and must set the mysports.vpd=true in the application's src folder and test's src folder.
Extensible Entities
The entities (Player, Team, and Division) in this example are extensible. This means additional attribute mappings can be dynamically defined. In this case the extensions are tenant specific and the definitions are maintained within the admin application. To make an entity extensible you can use annotations like:
@VirtualAccessMethods public class Player implements Extensible {
This indicates that the default get and set methods will be used. The Extensible interface is not required by EclipseLink but is used in the application to identify classes that support extensions. Within the entity classes the get and set methods along with a dat structure to store the extended values must be provided.
@Transient private Map<String, Object> attributes = new HashMap<String, Object>(); @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public <T> T get(String attributeName) { return (T) this.attributes.get(attributeName); } public Object set(String attributeName, Object value) { return this.attributes.put(attributeName, value); }
External Metadata Source
The extensions definitions are maintained externally in the Admin application which is accessed using JAX-RS calls. The example application provides an implementation of MetadataSource for both JPA and MOXy. For JPA this source is configured using a persistence unit property in the persistence.xml.
<property name="eclipselink.metadata-source" value="example.mysports.admin.AdminMetadataSource"/>
EMF per Tenant
When developing an application that can handle requests from multiple tenants you can choose to have a single EntityManager Factory (EMF) with tenant scoped EntityManagers (EM) or you can choose to have a EMF per tenant. The decision really comes down to the number of tenants and the value of maintaining a cache that can be shared upon user requests for the same tenant. In this example application where there are a limited number of tenants the decision was made to use an EMF per tenant.
EMF per tenant leverages a shared persistence unit definition (persistence.xml):
<persistence-unit name="mysports" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL"> <non-jta-data-source>jdbc/MySports</non-jta-data-source> <class>example.mysports.model.User</class> <class>example.mysports.model.Team</class> <class>example.mysports.model.Player</class> <class>example.mysports.model.Division</class> <validation-mode>NONE</validation-mode>
This definition is then used with separate shared EclipseLink sessions and caches being created per tenant using persistence unit properties passed into the call to create the EMF:
emfProps.put(SESSION_NAME, getConfig().getSessionName(leagueId)); emfProps.put(LEAGUE_CONTEXT, leagueId); emfProps.put(MySportsConfig.class.getName(), getConfig()); this.emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(PU_NAME, emfProps);
The SESSION_NAME property is what uniquely identifies the shared session and cache used for the EMF. If multiple create requests are issues with the same value on the same class-loader they will each be given new EMF instances but will share the same shared session and cache. The LEAGUE_CONTEXT property is the value that is set on the EMF to identify the tenant required by @Multitenant on the entities. The third EMF property is simply a way to cache the MYSportsConfigf instance within the shared session.

The Claude E. Phillips Herbarium is a botanical resource center located at Delaware State University in Dover, Delaware. The Herbarium houses an extensive collection of pressed and dried plant specimens, and also functions as an active center for education and research on the world's botanical diversity.
In the Claude E. Phillips Herbarium, plant specimens are pressed, mounted on archival paper, and stored in special cases in a climate-controlled environment. With about 150,000 specimens of flowering plants, gymnosperms, ferns, mosses, algae, and lichens, the Claude E. Phillips Herbarium is the largest herbarium at a Historically Black College or University and ranks about 87 out of 525 herbaria in the U.S. Specimens date back to 1799, with worldwide representation. Scientific books, journals, and photographs round out the collections.
Scientists, gardeners, educators, students, physicians, and lawyers regularly consult these holdings for identification and education. The herbarium is an indispensable tool for providing detailed data on habitats, mapping distribution of plants, studying evolutionary trends and genetic variations, and documenting plant research in the form of voucher specimens. For example, the Claude E. Phillips Herbarium documents the rare, threatened, and endangered flora and habitats of the DelMarVa Peninsula.
The Claude E. Phillips Herbarium includes important accessions from Catholic University, Colorado College, and many individual collectors, such as R.M. Austin, H.R. Baker, W.M. Canby, A. Commons, N.H. Dill, F.M. Jones, H. O'Neill, J.P. Otis, J.T. Pennypacker, C.E. Phillips, P.J.D. Redmond, A.V. Smith, W.S. Taber, E. Tatnall, R.R. Tatnall, I.F. Tidestrom, and W.A. McAvoy.

It was September 2010, when Tyler Sifferlen of North Andover first walked through the Malden Catholic High School portals. The school already had a rich, athletic history, and Sifferlen would only enhance it with his slick skating ability that helped produce not one, not two, not three, but four Super 8 championships in a row. The Lancers are in the rarefied air of a hockey program that will be mentioned in historical terms for decades. Only Catholic Memorial has won more, five straight to be precise in the �90s.
Sifferlen unofficially ended up with 50 goals and 60 assists as a Lancer, eclipsing 50 points alone this past season. His stock is rising by the day. The National Hockey League has Tyler on its radar, with the Draft coming up at the end of June in Philadelphia. He has committed to UMass-Lowell, a school that just wrapped up its second straight Hockey East title. He�ll suit up for the River Hawks beginning in the 2015-16 season after a year in juniors.
Life can�t be any better for the North Andover native. It has been a busy time for Tyler since winning another Super 8 title on March 16, including answering some questions recently posed by the North Andover Citizen in the ensuing text about some of his thoughts on being a multiple champion, and what�s in store for him in the future.
What�s been like the last two weeks since MC won its fourth Super 8 title? Around school? Around town?
It�s been very busy. The faculty and students at the school have been great, congratulating the team.
Around North Andover, when I was out on the weekends, many people who saw me congratulated me on what a great accomplishment it was by the team.
I was also busy with the Shriners� All-Star banquet during that week [after the Super 8 game] and the game that followed [in Worcester on March 22]. I was involved in some meetings with people on other hockey items, as well.
Did you have time to reflect on the last four years, and how fast it went, and what MC meant to you as a person and as an athlete during your impressionable teen years?
When I really think of the past four years at Malden Catholic, it flew by. It seems like yesterday I was playing on the hockey team as a freshman.
Malden Catholic was a great decision for me to attend. It really improved and helped me as a student. As far as being an athlete at Malden Catholic, I would not change what I did. I met many great hockey players, and played alongside them. Many that I played with have gone on to the next level.
Besides the championships, what will you most remember about the last four years as a student-athlete?
I will always remember how all the faculty was so nice to the students, and how the faculty, as well as the students supported the athletic teams at Malden Catholic. We had the best student body section cheering on our teams.
Could you breakdown each junior club that you�re thinking about playing for next year, and what they can offer you to get better at your craft as a player?
I don�t know where I will be next year, but it will be either in the USHL, BCHL, USPHL or AJHL League. Any of them will push me to help me develop more as a hockey player and person.
Why did you commit to UMass-Lowell, and were there other schools you were considering, and what made Lowell the choice over the others?
I committed to UMass-Lowell for two reasons. First, I want to major in Criminal Justice, and UMass-Lowell is known for having a great criminal justice program. I know many people who went there for criminal justice.
The second reason was simply the coaching staff of Bazin, Ellsworth and Lammers. They have brought the program to a very high level, and I wanted to be a part of a great program and coaching staff.
The coaches have really turned the program around in the three years they have been there (the River Hawks recently won their second straight Hockey East title).
I was considering other Hockey East schools, but when it came down to it Lowell was the perfect fit for me in the style and systems they play, and also my family can still see most of my games.
How much fun will it be to watch former MC teammate Mike Vecchione in the Frozen Four, while playing for Union College?
When Mike was our senior captain, and I was a freshman on the team, he took me under his wing and made me feel really comfortable. He was a great person and team leader. I only wish the best for him at Union.
With all of your individual successes, who or what would you credit for making you the player you are today?
I skate with Paul Vincent over the summer. I really think I have stepped up my game this past year, because of his tutoring. I also have to give Coach [Chris] Serino and Coach [John] McLean credit for my success. I really learned a lot from their knowledge of the game. The practices they run prepare you not to fail.
List some of those individual awards and accolades that you had received over the last four years?
I was Malden Catholic Freshman Athlete of the Year, Catholic Conference All-Star as a sophomore, junior and senior, a member of the Chris Serino All-Tourney team and ESPN Boston�s Mr. Hockey this year.
As you leave MC with four Super 8 titles, how will the program cope with the pressure of remaining on top since expectations will probably be at an all-time high next year?
There is still young talent on the team, and Coach McLean gets the most out of all his players. So, what I�m saying is that Coach McLean should coach the team to a fifth consecutive Super 8 championship.
What will you be doing the next few months before and after graduation as you prepare for the next stop on the hockey circuit?
I will be starting to skate in a couple weeks with Paul Vincent, as well as working out with some of my teammates.

Bangalore: Mumbai Indians have been penalised for a slow over rate during their Indian Premier League eliminator against Chennai Super Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here.
Mumbai Indians were assessed to be two overs behind the required rate after allowances were taken into consideration at the end of the match.
As this was captain Harbhajan Singh`s second slow over rate offence of this year`s IPL, he was fined USD 40,000, while each of the other 10 members of the playing eleven were fined the lesser of USD 10,000 or 25 per cent of their match fees.
Mumbai Indians lost to Chennai Super Kings by 38 runs last night to crash out of the tournament.

An excerpt from L. Freeman, FIRST SIGHT: The Experience of Faith (London: Continuum, 2011) pp. 7-8.
Christianity today has embarked on a radicalizing project: of recovering and updating the contemplative dimension in all aspects of life--dialogue with the secular and scientific worlds and with other religions, and also, at home, in its theology, morality, prayer, worship and social action.
If the church fails in this spiritualizing endeavor or yields to the temptation to regress into a nostalgic world of supposed certainties, as some would like, it will be impossible for it to adjust to a secular world and be what it is meant to be. Today Christian identity itself—the reception and communication of what comes to humanity through Jesus--is at stake. A corollary of this identity is its relationship to other religious identities and its need to be a team-player with other forms of faith in responding to the global crisis.
Unless it is contemplative, the church fails to be contemporary. Its "catholicity"—that is, its universality—contracts. As it contracts to near-extinction, it shrivels into being a mere cult. It is not, however, the size of its congregations that matters but the quality of mind awakened in those who go to church or don't go to church conventionally at all but live the Christian faith in other ways. Numbers go up and down. Mind is trans-numerical. It is either open or closed or it tends in one of these directions. The world needs contemplatives with courageously open minds of whatever form of faith—Buddhists, Hindus, Jews or Muslims. Every religion faces its particular challenge to recover and reconnect with its spiritual core. Christianity needs contemplative Christians, coming from their experience of this center and carrying the word of a unifying gospel into a wounded world bent on self-destruction. Mission is an element of Christian discipleship—to go forth and speak of the experience of faith. Where faith is strong, conversion is not the goal of mission. That is the work of the Spirit not a human project. So the mission of the contemporary Christian is essentially contemplative and will lead into dialogue rather than sheep-stealing. Contemplatives are made from experience that runs on pure faith. This is why we need to understand what faith means. This may require many Christians to undergo a deprogramming of their earlier religious training. They must first allow themselves to be converted.
After Meditation, "Swan," Mary Oliver, SWAN: Poems and Prose Poems (Boston: Beacon, 2010), p. 15.
Did you too see it, drifting, all night on the black river?
Did you see it in the morning, rising into the silvery air,
an armful of white blossoms,
a perfect commotion of silk and linen as it leaned
into the bondage of its wings: a snowbank, a bank of lilies,
biting the air with its black beak:
Did you hear it, fluting and whistling
a shrill dark music, like the rain pelting the trees,
like a waterfall
knifing down the black ledges?
And did you see it, finally, just under the clouds—
a white cross streaming across the sky, its feet
like black leaves, its wings like the stretching light
of the river?
And did you feel it, in your heart, how it pertained to everything?
And have you too finally figured out what beauty is for?
And have you changed your life?

OK, under the "cone of silence," how many of you use Amazon to buy a book? How many of you send a check to the state of Vermont for what you owe in use taxes? How many of you would stop buying your books on Amazon if the company collected that tax for you and sent it to Montpelier?
Our guess is that a bunch of you buy books from the online giant, that virtually none of you pony up and send a check to Montpelier for what you owe, and that only a tiny percentage of you would stop shopping on Amazon if the company did collect the tax.

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.

The Windows 10 Anniversary Update was released earlier this evening, and I dutifully installed it so that I could write about any oddities that might pop up. Well, a number of oddities have popped up, and they're bad - really bad. The Anniversary Update does some really shady stuff during installation that it doesn't inform you of at all until after the fact.
First, the Anniversary Update reinstalls Skype "for you", even if you had it uninstalled earlier, which in and of itself is a blatant disregard for users - I uninstalled it for a reason, and I'd like Microsoft to respect that. That in and of itself is bad enough, but here's the kicker: during installation, Microsoft also automatically logs you into Skype, so that possible Skype contacts can just start calling or messaging you - again, without ever asking for the user's consent.
Imagine my surprise when I open that useless Metro notification center thing - whose button now sits in the bottom right of the task bar, right of the clock, even, and is unremovable - and see that Skype is now installed, and that I'm logged in. This is a blatant disregard for users, and I'm sure tons of users will be unpleasantly surprised to see Microsoft forcing Skype down their throats.
There was an even bigger surprise, though: during installation of the Anniversary Update, Microsoft apparently flags Classic Shell - a popular Start menu replacement that gives Windows 10 a customisable Start menu that doesn't suck - as incompatible with the Anniversary Update, and just straight-up
deletes hides it from your computer - again, without ever notifying you beforehand or asking you for your permission.
Update: actually, the application isn't removed entirely - it's still there in the Program Files folder, but it's entirely scrapped from search results and the Start menu. Effectively, for most users, that's identical to removing it. What an incredibly odd and user-hostile way of dealing with this. You can see how the wording in the screenshot below is confusing regarding the removing vs. hiding issue.
Classic Shell released an update to fix the compatibility issue detected, so I hope my settings are still there somewhere, because it'd suck having to redo all of them because Microsoft just randomly
deleted a program from my computer hid a program, without informing me or asking me for my permission. It could've just disabled the program, prevented it from running - why delete hide it entirely? Are they that desperate to try and get me to use their terrible excuse for a Start menu?
So, just in case you're about to install this update - Microsoft will force Skype down your throat, and may randomly
delete hide programs from your computer without asking for your permission.
Have fun.

"He really wants to call the team he's not chosen and he's going to call when he gets home tonight," Lazenby said. "Both schools will know tonight who he is choosing. He's so excited. He's smiling from ear to ear. He's not trying to be coy. He will call both schools." The coach was not sure on an exact time the calls will happen. USC has been recruiting Walton as a linebacker while Auburn is recruiting him as a H-Back.

FALL RIVER — If David Degrace had bet real money, he could have walked away from Paul Robillard's blackjack table with $400 worth of chips. He started off with $60.
While the bets weren't real, the blackjack table was. And for the students who were playing the roles of dealers standing behind the semicircle-shaped table set up in the lobby of the Commonwealth College Center at Bristol Community College on Thursday afternoon, it was a chance to gain some gaming industry experience.
The student dealers dealt to other students, who sat around the outside of the semi-circle table, played their cards and placed "bets."
Other curious students stopped by to look over their peers' shoulders.
The experience was part of Robillard's class on introduction to casino operations. He's taught the class during the past few years at BCC as part of the school's Casino Operations and Gaming Services Career associate's degree program. Robillard coordinates BCC's casino program, which prepares students for the many facets of gaming operations.
"I want to work in casinos," said BCC student Kathy Benevides before dealing a few hands Thursday. Benevides was a stay-at-home mother with an accounting degree before she decided to go back to school.
Aware that there are competing proposals for casinos throughout southeastern Massachusetts — for Fall River, New Bedford and Taunton — Benevides said the location of that new casino, whenever it does finally come, is not a big concern for her.
"I'd be fine with anywhere in the area," Benevides said.
Fellow casino operations student Brian Melemed of Taunton agreed.
"As long as it's here, it's another place to work. All of those places are easy to get to," said Melemed, who currently works at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I.
BCC's program began after the passage of the state's Expanded Gaming Act in 2011. Around the time of that decision, each of the state's 15 community colleges signed agreements with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission that they would provide training for those who want to work in the industry, said Robillard, who more than two decades ago directed the Fall River branch of the American Red Cross.
Robillard later took a job for a few years as a blackjack dealer at Foxwoods in Connecticut after a period of unemployment in the early 1990s. He taught casino management at the former Katherine Gibbs School in Cranston, R.I., and said jobs in the industry will grow, even as area communities await a decision from the Gaming Commission on a casino license.
Enrollment in BCC's program is already growing. Last fall, the program had five students. The program also recently received a donation of five blackjack tables, one roulette table, a craps table, two poker tables, as well as "hundreds of decks of cards" and sets of poker chips, Robillard said. They came from the Katherine Gibbs School.
Since the announcement of a joint proposal between Fall River and Foxwoods for a casino at the New Harbour Mall site, enrollment has doubled, Robillard said.
This spring there are, 10 students enrolled.
Robillard watched and coached as Benevides and Melemed dealt. Prior to dealing, Benevides called out, "All chips down."
"It takes a lot of training, 96 hours," to become a licensed dealer, Robillard said. "You spend an awful lot of time doing this, actually dealing ... card placements, bets, customer service, how we treat players."
He instructed Benevides and Melemed on which hands to use when dealing cards.
"Left hand only," Robillard said as Benevides crossed hands dealing. He followed, motioning to her right hand: "What are you doing with that hand?"
"I would have placed it on the left side," he said after Melemed dealt. "A little bit faster, a little bit smoother."

Pearl has been an innovator in instrument making for more than 50 years and the results can be seen in the artist flutes made by Pearl and other companies who have embraced Pearl's innovations. Arguably the best value in the flute world, Pearl flute are often compared with instruments costing several times its price. You get the same innovative construction and hand-finishing that you expect from Pearl, but at a price that even a beginner can afford. This is a flute that allows you to grow as a musician.
This flute is crafted from the finest nickel silver key stock and tubing and from precision-drawn sterling silver tubing. The innovative construction on this flute includes Pinless Construction and One-Piece Core-Bar.
Pinless Construction: Traditional flute construction, using pinning needles, weakens the key shafts by requiring that holes be drilled in them to connect the parts of the key mechanism that work together. In addition, these protruding needles can snag clothing and give easy entry to perspiration and body acids that cause corrosion and binding keys. Pearl's unique pinless construction eliminates these problems with additional bridge mechanisms that add strength to the entire mechanism and with socket-head screws that are inserted from the underside of the key work, preventing the entry of perspiration into the mechanism.
One-Piece Core-Bar: Most flutists have had the experience of having the rode that secures the high C key back out causing excessive play at the Bb key. Additionally, the flute mechanism will tend to wear excessively at the king post, next to the F# key. The Pearl one-piece core-bar eliminates the possibility of this problem by designing one rod that extends from the high C through the king post, forming a stainless steel bearing for the shaft of the keys for the right hand. The result is a more reliable mechanism that feels better and is easier to keep in adjustment and to service.
This flute's keys are Open Hole. Open hole keys give the flutist more control while playing.
This flute also comes with plugs that are used for the open hole keys. The
advantage of this flute is that when used by a beginner, the open holes can be
plugged (using the plugs provided). The flute is then used just like a
closed hole flute, making it easier for beginner to learn. As the flute
student masters the playing skill, the plugs can be easily removed. The
flute is then a open hole flute, allowing more flexibility and greater control
over the flute.
The mechanical and acoustical excellence of this
flute, combined with the accessories that are included, offer extraordinary
quality and outstanding value.
This flute has the following features

Durban OPEN | 11 - 14 December 2013
Durban, South Africa, October 28, 2013 – The 'surf capital' of Africa is anxiously awaiting the best beach volleyball players on the planet to converge for the double gender FIVB Beach Volleyball Durban Open, according to Sunil Geness, a former KwaZulu-Natal Provincial volleyball player.
At a launch event Monday, Geness said Durbin "waits with bated breath," for the tournament, scheduled to take place at New Beach from Dec. 11-15, 201.
Volleyball South Africa, along with tournament promoter Geness Consulting, rolled out the red carpet for dignitaries from government, business, sporting macro structures and the media, to celebrate the launch of the last FIVB beach volleyball tournament of the year.
"We must ensure that Durban remains a star attraction city for global events," said Councillor Zenzile, who expressed his delight and confidence that the tournament will benefit the city.
With the support shown by the media at the launch, hordes of spectators will be attracted to the city's pristine shore line for the beach volleyball event, he said.
Dr. Sheena Geness, who spoke on behalf of Geness Consulting, discussed key event objectives, which included an overview of the event, marketing and communication strategies, sustainability programmes, and the development of beach volleyball – especially in disadvantaged communities.
International Olympic Committee Executive Board member, Dr. Sam Ramsamy praised the efforts of Volleyball South Africa and Geness Consulting in securing the FIVB event for South Africa – the only African country to host such an event.
Ramsamy also urged Volleyball South Africa President Tubby Reddy to encourage FIVB President Dr. Ary Graça to attend the event, as his presence would bring more excitement to the city.
Also in attendance were eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality Councillor, Mr.William Zenzile, who represented the city Mayor, and Councillor James Nxumalo.
The Durban Open will wrap up the 2013 beach volleyball season, as the fifth and final double-gender Open tournament for the year. It is the first time since 2006 that South Africa has hosted an FIVB event. Durban organised an Open in 1996, while Cape Town previously hosted an Open event in 1995 and then in 2004 and 2005.

Solution: Mr. Hollweg meet Mr. Probert.
It also gives all of us who are not in favor the instigator rule more fuel for the fire. I am absolutely not in favor of more fighting in the NHL. Especially the hopelessly boring staged fights between enforcers who play 4 minutes a game and simply meet the other team's enforcer, they fight, they go to the box and the game goes on. That is a huge waste of time.
I do believe that the natural emotion of this game will always bubble over into legitimate fights in the heat of the battle between 2 players who care deeply and compete with all their being. Those fights would happen even if fighting was completely banned because things do get that heated in hockey.
I know to many this will make me sound like a caveman, but I also believe in "visits". I believe that player's actions on the ice would again be tempered if they had any true fear that someone would come to visit them for their mis-deeds. That was part of the code of this game that helped protect star players and it's a part of this game which the instigator rule has changed for the worse.
Ryan Hollweg is one of (but not the only) poster child for the ineffectiveness of the instigator rule and supplementary discipline. Thus far no sanctions the NHL has imposed on Hollweg in the past have caused him to change the truly dangerous and illegal way he plays. The price a team and player may pay to make him physically suffer for his actions is too high. The suspensions and possible lost games due to the penalties a player and team must take to track down and punish Hollweg are simply too high in a league where parity means a lost game in October really can mean you miss the playoffs in April.
Ryan Hollweg's willingness to hit people from behind would be severely tested if he knew someone might try to break his jaw each time he tried to run someone from behind. As we all know there is no need for Hollweg to play with that fear in today's game. Again no one will come to visit him because the price for those who come knocking is higher than the price Hollweg will pay for doing it in the first place. That is a very dangerous policy for the rest of the players in the league to live with.
See you at the rink.

I agree 100% that the instigator rule lets weasles on the ice get away with things that in the past they would have paid a price for. On the Hollweg issue, the guy needs to get a grip and quit with the cheap shots from behind. He is going to really hurt someone. Agressive play is one thing but stupid is a whole other issue. Some of the players are lacking in respect for each other today. In the past not only did you have to deal with a guy like Probert if you were a jerk but most of the guys in the league had a common respect for each other and knew when the opponent was vulnerable and you just did not hit him in that position. They all recognized that careers were at stake. Wake up Hollweg or someone will run you right out of the league. You also cost your team a win.

Anon, what are you a moron? Why would Alfie be dead? Man.... he is the class act of the NHL. Smarten up and post something relevant.

Pav: Alfreddson loves to take cheap shots and has benefited from the instigator rule his entire career. It's a proven fact. Do you even watch hockey?

Anon - Yeah.. so does Sundin and Koivu..... its a proven fact. I do watch hockey and I know that Alfie is one the classiest players in the NHL. Sundin is a joke, Koivu is alright, but to say that Alfie takes cheap shots? Man.. you must be a leaf fan.

pav...I'm a Senators fan and Alfredsson does take those extra shots, he did it to Getzlaf and Niedermayer in the finals, that's what makes him great!
The important thing here isn't Hollweg, it's Spezza and Heatley's inconsistent play.
These guys are getting paid close to a combined 20 M-I-L-L-I-O-N dollars and they show up erratically.
Something is deeply, deeply wrong at a mental level with those two players if they cannot score points on a game-by-game basis.

|Richeson Pastel Hardboard (4/5)
|Sep 1, 2008

I was given a 16x20 Richeson hardboard to try at a recent pastel workshop in Iowa with artist David Garrison.
It was a wonderful experience working on this product. The pastels grabbed beautifully & did not powder or move~multi layering was perfect. Even with framing, the pastel failed to move onto the glass when layed flat. If you haven't tried this surface~treat yourself. The only drawback on the product is it is a bit costly. Wish they could do discount pricing on multi packaging. I highly recommend this surface for serious pastel artists. You won't be dissapointed!

ATLANTA, GA, May 30, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- Sibling Group Holdings, Inc. (otcqb:SIBE) (www.siblinggroup.com ) (the "Company") announced today that it has finalized the acquisition of Blended Schools Network ( www.blendedschools.net , "BSN"), with agreement from both companies Board of Directors.

The Golden State has been forced into a sort of economic rehab after years of runaway spending.
Now, California's Legislative Analyst's Office says the state may be bottoming, and there is reason to hope.
Californians just passed Prop 30, raising taxes, but the LAO says the state will still have to close a $1.9 billion budget gap over the next two years. However, there could be a budget surplus beginning in 2014.
"We're not out of the woods," said Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat. "There's a lot of desire, pent-up desire, to invest more in research and development and issues of education and the like, and so we're going to have to hold the line."
Newsom was speaking at the Milken California Summit in Beverly Hills, where the issue of the state's economy and notoriously poor business climate were front and center. (Read More: Job Opening in California—Chief Economist.)
Proposition 30 will raise the top state income tax rate to 13.3 percent for millionaires. "That's not a great way to encourage folks to come here and stay here," he said.
Add that to the potential repeal of the Bush tax cuts. "We're talking about a tax rate of over 50 percent," for top earners, said Scott Minerd, Guggenheim Partner's Chief Investment Officer.
Democrats now have a supermajority in Sacramento, meaning they could raise taxes without a single Republican vote. Newsom said that would be a mistake.
"Democrats now own this. We've got to lean back in," he said. "We've got to make a case to CEOs across the country that this is not the worst place to do business. It's not. But we have to demonstrate that."
Phoenix is the latest city making a play to lure California business to move out, promising 100 CEOs free flights to Arizona to tour the town. While it sounds like a gimmick, most at the Milken summit say the threat is real. (Read More: Top Destination States for Jobs.)
"You can't just take business and jobs for granted, you've got to have policies that foster economic growth," said Russ Goldsmith, CEO of Los Angeles-based City National [CYN 48.48 1.18 (+2.49%) ]. "When you're 49th in the country in terms of business climate, you've got to do something to make it better. Unfortunately the Governor doesn't seem to understand that."
Goldsmith believes, though, that the California economy is turning around. Income taxes jumped last month, a sign of improving employment. But he said his business clients are taking out lines of credit … and then just sitting on them, waiting to see what happens in Washington. (Read More: States' Jobs Picture Improves: Behind the Numbers.)
"I don't know what my tax rate is going to be," he said they're telling themselves. "I don't know what my depreciation schedule is going to be. I don't know if the government is going to drive us into recession. … I'm just going to wait."
Scott Minerd of Guggenhiem isn't pulling money out of California, despite its high cost structure. "It is still a leader in tech, it is still a leader in innovation."
But does he think the state will return to surpluses in two years as the LAO suggests? "No, and I don't think anybody who knows anything takes it very seriously,"
