Have you ever wished for a different life? Certain celebs have all stripped off their famous personas and dabbled with different names and personalities.
From Selena Gomez to Eva Mendes, these six celebs have all dabbled with different personas:
1. Alter Ego Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez and Bridget Jones
Selena Gomez was spotted at the Los Angeles airport hailing a cab -- but under a very different name! The 21-year-old starlet chose the name "Bridget Jones" as her pseudonym for the night. Recognize the name? That's because Bridget Jones is the title of the main character from the book and movie Bridget Jones's Diary. Although Bridget Jones is a 30-something British woman who struggles in life and love, Mexicana Selena Gomez looked youthful and fresh, even debuting an edgy new punk-rock style.
2. Eva Mendes
Eva Mendes and Dolores Carmen
In the latest issue of Violet Grey, Eva Mendes invents an alter-ego for herself -- Dolores Carmen. Mendes describes Carmen in her own words: "Dolores is the kind of woman who thinks dishwashers are a bit excessive but dons evening gloves while arranging flowers; she finds BEAUTY where its often left unnoticed - in the tenderness of a broken heart of the FRAGILITY of a wilted petal." Violet Grey photographs Dolores Carmen in her day-to-day activities, capturing her at her home, wrapping presents and preparing for the holidays. You can read the full interview with Dolores Carmen and see the stunning photos at VioletGrey.com.
3. Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars and Captain Fuego
Bruno Mars has too many alter egos to count: El Captain Fuego, The Sex Dragon, and Juan Money being just a few. It's unclear what his primary alter-persona is, but in March 2012, he declared over Twitter: "I'm changing my name to Juan Money." Perhaps, Bruno, like any good musician, is simply seeking to reinvent himself.
4. Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey and MiMi
The ultimate diva introduced the world to her alter ego, Mimi, in 2005 when she released "The Emancipation of Mimi." The lyrics baffled fans, especially the line: "It's a special occasion/ Mimi's emancipation/ A cause for celebration." Carey later elaborated on the identity of Mimi. She told MTV, "It's not like Mimi is some alter ego or character, but really more the true person as opposed to the celebrity. It's a very personal nickname. Only people who are really close to me use it."
5. Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez and Lola
In 2009, Jennifer Lopez introduced the world to her alter-ego, Lola, in the song "Fresh Out Of The Oven." Around the same time, she launched a now-deleted Twitter account called @_whoislola and a website. The first tweet read "Lola here. What's my deal? Well, wouldn't you like to know..." The website, the Twitter account, and the alter-ego are all long gone...
6. Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera and Xtina
In the early 2000s, Christina Aguilera shed her good-girl image (and her blonde locks) for a "dirty", black-haired alter ego named Xtina. Aguilera got several tattoos -- including the name Xtina on her necks -- and piercings and appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone dressed only in boots, with an electric guitar covering her naked body. In 2007, she told MTV, "The brunette, she wanted to be a little naughty, that was my Xtina days. She wanted to stir a little trouble."

Saint-Jacques Tower, Paris
The tower's rich decoration reflects the wealth of its patrons, the wholesale butchers of the nearby Les Halles market. The masons in charge were Jean de Felin, Julien Ménart and Jean de Revier. It was built in 1509 to 1523, during the reign of King Francis I. With a dedication to Saint James the Great, the ancient church and its landmark tower welcomed pilgrims setting out on the road that led to Tours and headed for the way of St James, which led to the major pilgrimage destination of Sant'Iago de Compostela.

Challenge #2 Learn to Skate Like a Canadian
I started 2014 off with a splash – by leaping into the freezing cold sea at English Bay in Vancouver with a heap of other Crazy Canucks for the Polar Bear Swim – and I vowed to make this a year of fresh challenges – well, here's my latest. This weekend I plan to skate the Rideau Canal in Canada's capital, Ottawa. My challenge? Um, I don't know how to skate… or rather – I didn't, but thanks to my hero, Raymond – now I do.
It seems to me that Canadians are pretty much born with a pair of skates or skis strapped to their feet (their poor mothers!). I've sighed so many times over enchanting stories of my new friends' Canadian childhoods: playing hockey out on a frozen pond, skating at home on a rink that their dad made by flooding the backyard – none of this was ever possible back in England, of course, and even skating rinks are few and far between. Not in Canada – I was amazed to discover eight beautifully maintained rinks in Vancouver and there was one just around the corner from me – and that is where Raymond skates into this story. We met last year at a Wine Festival event and once I realized I needed to learn to skate, then I knew he was my guy: an ex figure skater and now heading up the teaching programme at the busy Denman Street rink, I couldn't have asked for anyone better.
I was terrified even lacing the skates up; all I could think of was falling and hurting myself. Bambi-like I wobbled onto the ice but accompanied by Raymond (and some pretty cool Lorde tracks) it all felt slightly less terrifying.That was five weeks ago and since then I've practiced, learned how to stop, fallen over and – crucially – worked out how to get up again. Just after Christmas I splurged and bought my own skates and last week I went for a truly joyful glide around the outdoor rink in Whistler. I may not be skating like a Canadian yet, but I'm giving it my best shot: Ottawa: here I come.

Showing poise absent earlier in his career, and a better command of his secondary pitches, Pelfrey won 13 games last season. He might equal that this year, but it would be with a struggle because there's been little consistency in his game despite his fastball.
"I would say when you see his stuff you still get excited, but there has to come a time of maturation or development where there has to be some consistently," manager Jerry Manuel said. "We're just not getting that from him. He is a product of being inconsistent. The inconsistently is a concern, the stuff is not. We feel very confident that what he has is good enough to compete, but we need to see it on a more consistent basis, and we're not seeing that."
Pelfrey is 5-3 with a 3.80 ERA in 14 home starts this season to give the Mets a sense of confidence this afternoon, but he's been miserable since the All-Star break at 2-6 with a 6.10 ERA in nine starts. That includes giving up seven runs in four innings last Tuesday at Colorado.
The Mets have lost 10 of their last 14 games, and finishing .500 is not even a realistic possibility, even with the news they might get Carlos Beltran and John Maine back this season. Beltran could be ready for the Marlins series Tuesday at Citi Field and Maine, who pitched well in a rehab start yesterday at Port St. Lucie, could pitch Sunday in Philadelphia.
Maine needs to show something to be counted into the Mets' plans for next season. If he busts out then exists the chance they might not tender him a contract for next year.
NOTEBOOK: Manuel said he doesn't expect Gary Sheffield (back spasms) to return this season. … Cory Sullivan has homered in both games of this series. … Luis Castillo has four hits in the series.
Here's the line-up for today's game:
Angel Pagan, CF
Luis Castillo, 2B
David Wright, 3B
Daniel Murphy, 1B
Jeff Francoeur, RF
Cory Sullivan, LF
Brian Schneider, C
Anderson Hernandez, SS
Mike Pelfrey, RP

2009 CTC Relay Carnival Results
The Sacred Heart men's and women's indoor track & field teams opened up the 2009-10 season over the weekend with both teams winning the Collegiate Track Conference Relay Carnival. The women posted 73 points to pull away in an 11-team field while the men scored 59.50 points to finish in front of Farmingdale State in second in a field of nine teams. It is the 13th consecutive team title for the women and 12th for the men at the event.
The Pioneers won the 55-meter dash relay with junior Angelica Johnson (Little Ferry, NJ) winning the event with a time of 7.17 seconds, setting a new school relay record and just missing ECAC qualifying by .01 seconds. She did meet the New England qualifying standard of 7.40. Freshman Julianne Cappadona (North Attleboro, MA) and sophomore Kellie Dunn (Rutherford, NJ) finished third and fourth, crossing in 7.47 and 7.73 seconds.
In the 5,000-meters, sophomore Sara Pollock (Sandy Hook, CT) and junior Samantha Troy (Lebanon, CT) combined to win the event, finished second and sixth respectively. Pollock set a new personal best by over 30 seconds with a time of 18:50.97. Troy finished in 19:17.42. In the high jump, senior Tyler Treaton (Nanuet, NY) finished tied for third and freshman Ashley Beck (Nesconset, RI) tied for fifth, both clearing the bar 4'9.75". Cappadona also placed in the long jump, finishing fourth (15'5.50").
Sophomore Ashley Matakevich (Stratford, CT) won the triple jump and finished second in the long jump to lead the Pioneers in both events. Matakevich posted a leap of 35'10.75" in the triple and was runner up in the long jump with a distance of 16'7.00". In the pole vault, senior Kerry Ojeda (Coram, NY), the defending NEC Champ, set a new school record, breaking the mark she set last year of 3.40 meters (11' 1 ¾"). She finished first clearing the bar at a height of 11'5.75", automatically qualifying for New England's. Freshman Lauren Sudbey (Sandy Hook, CT) finished fourth with a height of 9'6.25".
The Pioneers dominated in the throwing events led by sophomores Athalia Smith (New Britain, CT), Carol Cress (Butler, PA) and Chantaul Smith (New Britain, CT). In the shot relay, Cress and Smith combined for the win and surpassed the New England qualifying standard of 12.50 m (41' ¼"). Cress won the event with a throw of 43'10.75" and right on her heels was Smith at 41'3.75". In the weight throw relay, the Pioneer combination of Athalia Smith and Chantaul Smith teamed for the victory. Athalia Smith topped the ECAC qualifying standard of 16.00 meters (52' 6) with a throw of 52'11.00 for first place. Chantaul Smith was second with a personal best throw of 46'11.50".
In the 4x1600 meter relay, the Pioneers team of sophomore Brittany Llobell (West Sayville, NY), sophomore Johanna Acosta (Hartford, CT), junior Erin McPherson (Marlborough, MA) and sophomore Mary St. Thomas (Cumberland, RI) took home top honors with a time of 22:40.68. Llobell, who missed XC season due to injury, ran the fastest split, 5:30.8. In the Distance Medley relay, the Pioneers finished first with a time of 12:57.46. Senior Sarah Tencza (Succasunna, NJ) ran the 1200 meters, freshman Jennifer Sant Anna (Montvale, PA) ran the 400 meters, sophomore Brigid Paddock (Stony Brook, NY) ran the 800 meters and freshman Alyssa Selmquist (Northford, CT) ran the 1600 meters.
The team of junior Stephanie Kanner (Coram, NY), 400 meters, sophomore Kellie Dunn (Rutherford, NJ) and freshman Ashley Beck (Nesconset, NY), the 200 meters, and freshman Erin O'Shea (Port Jefferson Station, NY), the 800 meters, took first in the Sprint Medley relay, finishing with a time of 4:23.22. The 4x800 meter relay team of Acosta, Tencza, Selmquist and freshman Michelle Navarro (Piscataway, NJ) took first with a time of 10:15.38.
In the 55 meter Hurdles Relay, the Pioneer team of Bertony Jean-Louise (Norwalk, CT) and r-freshman Jeremy Rosado (Brooklyn, NY) combined to win the event with a new school relay record. Jean-Louis recorded broke his own school record in the event (old record 7.69 by Jean-Louis) with an IC4A qualifying time of 7.67 seconds. Rosado was right behind in second with a time of 7.80 seconds, both qualifying for New England's in the event.
In the 4x1600 meter relay, the Pioneer team of freshman Christopher Connelly (Medford, NY), sophomore Richard Marcello (Foster, RI), freshman Kent Harlow (Burnt Hills, NY) and freshman Colin Seidl (Cochecton, NY) finished first with a time of 18:04.99. Seidl ran the fastest split, 4:27.7, as he pulled away to victory on the last lap, helping lead the team to a new school record for the relay. In the Distance Medley, the Pioneers got a first place finish from the team of sophomore Jeffrey Lusignan (East Montpelier, VT), the 1200 meters, freshman Justin McLoughlin (West Hurley, NY), the 400 meters, junior Samuel Silliman (Portland, CT), the 800 meters, and grad student John Kenworthy (Gloversville, NY), the 1600 meters). Kenworthy anchored in a very fast 4:21.7.
The 4x200 meter and 4x400 meter relay teams also took first place honors. In the 4x200, the team of freshman Joshua Roman (Seymour, CT), freshman Matthew Lyhne (Wethersfield, CT), Jean-Louis and Rosado won with a time of 1:30.25. Jean-Louis had the fastest split, 22.3, and the men ran the second fastest time in school history for this relay. In the 4x400 meters, sophomore Kenneth Synan (Red Hook, NY), junior Peter Conti (Mansfield, MA), freshman Ian Haney (Selden, NY) and Lyhne took first in a time of 4:08.97. Lyhne ran the fastest split, 49.3, to bring the team from second into first over the final meters of the race.
In the Sprint Medley, junior Scott Kasper (East Meadow, MA), the 400 meters, Haney and Synan, the 200 Meters, and sophomore John Ahern (Islip Terrace, NY), the 800 Meters, finished first with a time of 4:32.22.
The SHU men got a first place finish from senior Brendan Rickert (Danbury, CT) in the 5,000 meters. Rickert turned in a time of 15:43.45, a personal best. He teamed with junior James Curran (Hazlet, NJ) in fourth, 16:13.13, to win the event.
In the triple jump, sophomore Bertony Jean-Louise (Norwalk, CT) finished first with a leap of 49'9.00", a New England qualifying leap. Senior Keith Rowe (Taunton, MA) took third in the pole vault with a height of 13'6.25"

The Cold-air Pooling Experiment (COLPEX)
April 2012 - The COLd-air Pooling EXperiment (COLPEX) is a collaborative research programme concerned with understanding and improving predictions of cold-air pools which form in valleys during stable night time conditions.
COLPEX is a joint activity between the Met Office and NCAS.
During calm, clear nights the air temperatures in hollows and valleys can fall several degrees lower than on the surrounding hill tops. These cold pools are associated with hazardous conditions such as localised fog, icy road surfaces and poor air quality. Accurate forecasting of such phenomena is important. However, the small-scale nature of cold pools means they are often poorly represented in even the highest resolution operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) models.
The COLPEX programme has involved long-term detailed measurements of atmospheric flows in and around a small-scale valley. This field phase was carried out in the rolling hills of Shropshire, UK, specifically the Clun valley (see the image to the right - this photograph was taken during the snowy conditions of January 2010 and shows an episode of fog which formed in an adjacent valley and then spilled over into the Clun valley itself). Near-continuous measurements were made for a period of 15 months during 2009-2010. The measurements were made by a team of scientists from the Met Office and the Universities of Leeds and Salford. The experiment involved an array of sophisticated meteorological instruments. These included a wide variety of ground based sensors such as turbulence probes, custom-built automatic weather stations (measuring wind, temperature, pressure and humidity), visibility and radiation sensors, soil temperature probes, ground heat flux plates and a Doppler lidar. The measurement sites were distributed within the Clun valley in order that a detailed picture of the flow within the valley could be established. Some instruments were placed on the surrounding hills and also in an adjacent valley in order that comparisons could be made with the Clun valley. During periods of specific interest these measurements were supplemented by regular radiosonde releases and an instrumented vehicle which was used to map the air temperatures along various routes around the field site. A photograph of one of the main COLPEX field measurement sites, located at Upper Duffryn within the Clun valley, is shown in the image to the left. Two tall (50 m and 10 m) masts were erected at this site, hosting a variety of temperature, turbulence and radiation sensors.
A complementary aspect of the project involves the use of the Unified Model (MetUM), run at extremely fine horizontal resolution. The MetUM is the main numerical modelling system developed and used at the Met Office. It is a "seamless" system, in that different configurations of the same modelling system are used across all time and space scales, from global climate simulations, extending decades and centuries into the future, to regional weather prediction for only a few hours ahead. Different MetUM configurations are designed to best represent the processes which have most influence on the timescale of interest.
The horizontal grid spacing of the Met Office's highest resolution operational weather forecast is now 1.5 km. Whilst this represents the state-of-the-art in NWP, even this resolution is insufficient to capture the details of the flow on sub-kilometre scales, such as those within the Clun valley. The impact of these small (sub-grid) scales must be represented within the model however and this is accomplished through sub-grid physical parametrizations. NWP forecast products must also be corrected, or post-processed, in order that local detail such as the temperature changes and fog patches associated with cold pools can be represented.
The MetUM has been configured for the COLPEX field site, using a nested suite of domains, the inner-most of which has a variable horizontal grid spacing with a finest resolution of 100 m. Model simulations have been conducted for several cold-pool and valley-fog episodes that were observed during the field phase of COLPEX. Comparisons between the model predictions and the COLPEX measurements are being used to assess the ability of the model to capture the details of the flow within the valley. The overall aims of the modelling exercise are:
1. To investigate the extent to which a very high resolution modelling system can be used to provide accurate detailed local-scale forecasts for sites of specific importance (e.g. airfields).
2. Produce a comprehensive model dataset which can be used to complement and aid the analysis of the field measurements.
3. Use the fine resolution simulations, for example by coarse-graining the results, to improve the parametrizations of sub-grid processes at the coarser resolutions used in NWP and Climate simulations.
An example animated sequence of model wind and temperature across the COLPEX field site is presented in Figure 1. The results shown are from a 100 m resolution simulation of an observed cold-pool case during 10-11 September 2009, during clear-sky light-wind conditions. (Colour shading indicates the potential temperature in degrees Celsius. Line contours denote the terrain heights at an interval of 50 m. Wind vectors are denoted by arrows (units are metres per second) and the time interval between frames is 10 minutes.) A distinct cold pool forms in the valley during the evening and this continues to strengthen during the night. Close examination reveals that a gradual down-valley drainage flow forms along the valley bottom. The model temperature predictions are compared with the COLPEX observations for this case in Figure 2. The observed temperatures are reproduced by the model with remarkable accuracy.
The COLPEX programme will increase our understanding of how valley cold pools form and why, for instance, some valleys offer a more favourable environment for their formation than others. There are fundamental questions which currently remain largely unanswered. For example, to what extent is the cooling controlled by local processes at the valley bottom, such as radiative loss of heat from the ground and turbulent mixing of heat in the air above? Or is the drainage of cold dense air down from the hill tops and side valleys important in establishing the cold pool in the valley? Through the combination of measurements and numerical modelling we are aiming to address fundamental questions such as these. More generally, the results are being used to improve our understanding and ability to predict airflow in complex terrain.

I have a MySQL data adapter and I am trying to query a table and place it in a DataSet. The problem I have is SOME of the time and DateTime values are being converted into C# TimeSpan variables rather than DateTime. I tried adding a CAST(timeVariable AS DATETIME) and the problem still exists. I tried to just import the Schema then change the data type in the dataset and this did not work either.
I am using the MySql.Data.MySqlClient objects to do the fill. Any Thoughts?

"Your house smells like campfire pork fat. I like it!" my dear friend Theresa recently told Jason and I. Well it's one of the best compliments you can hear as a Chef! It could be we are always grilling and cooking in the kitchen fireplace. The spit roaster (girarrosto) is a quintessential cooking tool in an Italian farmhouse - especially since in the winter there is a fire always going in the kitchen. Its as simple as pulling out some hot coals and laying them just in front of the meat you will spit roast. Here we spit-roast quail, pigeon, all types of wild small birds, chickens, sausage, thick slices of pancetta and even eel. The best part of how we spit roast comes at the end... with a fiery blaze of melting pork fat!!
Spit Roasted Pigeon with Pancetta Recipe
Piccione al girarrostoserves 4
4 small pigeons cleaned (you can use any small bird you like, up to a chicken it will just take longer to cook.)
4 thick slices of pancetta
juniper berries
salt and pepper
olive oil
nice piece of lardo or pork fat wrapped in butcher paper
Start a fire.
Clean and dry the pigeons. Sprinkle salt and pepper inside the cavity along with a few torn up sage leaves, a pinch of rough chopped garlic and 1 or 2 juniper berries. Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over the birds, sprinkle with salt & pepper and rub it all in.
Now prepare the spit.
Using a single skewer spit roaster:
Pierce the pigeon through the rib cage, underneath the breast. Do a bird, piece of pancetta, bird, pancetta, etc. If you like you can also put a piece of bread in between that will soak up all the delicious fat.
If you have a double spit roaster (with two levels) you can have some real fun! Put sausages on the top level and the birds underneath so as the sausages cook the fat drips below, basting the birds.
To cook:
Make a line of coals from the fire about 6 - 8 inches (about 20 cm) away from the birds, in front of the spit roaster. Plug it & let it go!
It takes about an hour so don't rush it. If the birds start to color right away there is too much heat, pull it back. After about 50 minutes to 1:10 depending on the size of your birds they should be done. You can check this by gently pulling on one of the legs - if it falls away, you're good.
Now for the fun part!
Crisping up the skin: With you pork fat wrapped in butcher paper like a nice package, spear a long bbq fork through the center and light it in the fire. As the paper burns away, the fat will begin to melt and drip down (staying slightly ignited). Drizzle the melting fat over the birds at the very end to crisp up the skins. (Turn out the light and it looks pretty cool!)
Take the birds off the fire and allow to rest for a few minutes - then enjoy!
Serve with roasted potatoes with rosemary.

Wabash Resumes Normal Operations Wed.by Jim Amidon • January 4, 2014 Share:
Wabash College will resume normal operations on Wednesday, January 8. A brutal winter storm closed the College on Monday and Tuesday. Campus Services has done a remarkable job of opening up parking lots and clearing walkways. Sidewalks have been treated, but some slick spots remain. The community is urged to be cautious of snow falling from rooftops as temperatures warm Wednesday and Thursday.

Living in New England, winters are snowy, cold and wicked long. Anytime my husband Wade and I can scrape together a few vacation days, we always head south. We love to explore and tend to spend the bulk of our money renting boats. We think our best adventures are on the waterways away from the noise and gridlock.
Wade is a native from Maine and grew up in a small fishing village. He lobstered with his dad; he built and painted boats at Rumery's Boatyard, so it's not much of a stretch for Wade to want to build a boat.
We planned to build a houseboat, but realized we'd be in wheelchairs by the time we completed the task. When Wade asked me to look at a houseboat he found on eBay, I started rolling my eyes and giving him the "another one of your hare-brained ideas" look. The boat was located on a beautiful lake in New Hampshire so I agreed to the ride if lunch was included.
First Impressions
The boat was tucked in a corner of a boatyard. I was pleasantly surprised with the lines and stature of the boat-a 1983 C Yacht houseboat. Upon inspection inside, we found moldy carpet, rotted wood and several mouse condos. I lasted about two minutes and ran for fresh air. Wade followed soon thereafter. I looked him straight in the eye and said, "I love it." Once Wade regained consciousness, he croaked "REALLY?" We brokered a deal and had the boat hauled to its new home-our backyard.
Out thoughts were as follows: We wanted the boat for the hull. It was a total gut job. And unless we won the lottery, we would work on it in stages when time and money allowed, making it a long-term project.
Getting Started
The first stage was to remove the engines. Thanks to the www.houseboatmagazine.com Forum, Wade received valuable information and support from other boat enthusiasts. The next step was to gut the boat.
Wade, armed with tools, mask and determination, started the tear-out. The frame and plywood of the boat had many areas of water damage. Wade could actually poke holes with his finger through the plywood. In his words, "The only thing holding this boat together is habit."
Once the inside was gutted, Wade worked on repairing the rear bulkhead, deck and support for the cabin. Next were exterior side walkways. The seam between house and deck had never been sealed with fiberglass cloth and resin, thus causing leaking. Replacement of plywood and framing was his next project.
It was no surprise that the front of the boat framing showed extensive rot so the entire salon floor needed to be removed. Wade, glass always half full said, "It will make it easier to replace all the plumbing."
New Years 2008
Frigid weather did not slow Wade down. With a portable heater, he started the rebuilding of the main salon and floor. I knew we were on the upswing when Wade commented, "It's really starting to look like something." (A true sign he thinks things are getting accomplished.)
My only job was to keep the decks shoveled off. There were a lot of slipping, sliding, and near death experiences, but it is all part of living in Maine.
Late that winter Wade started on the roof of the main salon. It had deteriorated and the fiberglass had started to crack and leak. After much research, Wade "Do-It-Myself" found a product called Sani-Tred to use in place of fiberglass. It can be used as a marine deck coating.
We are planning to put a fly bridge on the top deck. The existing plywood was a half-inch and very spongy. Wade placed an additional half-inch of plywood on top so it will be, "wicked sturdy for dancing."
Spring 2008
Wade developed heart issues and his dad Goldy was diagnosed with cancer. Because of Wade's health issues and wanting to spend our time with his father, we hired a fiberglass company to get the boat water tight.
Wade had a hard time staying away form his "Mistress." That's my name for the boat, but living by the water, I don't get as much as a raised eyebrow. It is a given in these parts that men just love their boats.
We were very fortunate to spend a great deal of time with Goldy until his passing in November of 2009. Wade then had his ticker repaired in December and we slowly got back up and running. With the structure of the boat now intact, we were ready to tackle the interior.
Going Inside
A New England tradition is to put bead board on the walls. Wanting to have a "homey" feel, this is what we chose. The ceiling Wade installed was a natural wood that I loved, but I could tell Wade was not convinced. After chewing on it awhile, we opted to try a white wash. We went through a lot of paint techniques and a lot of eye-rolling on my part. After seeing our friend's lobster yacht high gloss ceiling (thank you Fez and Reg!), Wade decided that was the ticket. He applied a white high gloss enamel and it really "opened up" the boat giving it a bigger, brighter feel. We knew it was a home run because visitors would comment on the ceiling before even entering the boat!
Designing an integrated electrical system for a boat is not a job for a carpenter, so Wade hoped he could find someone affordable with the skills to design and then direct the installation of the systems. He made inquiries to a number of boat yards and designers he found online, but couldn't seem to find someone who would take on the project.
He wanted to do as much of the work as he could himself, so he would have a complete understanding of the systems. We were lucky to find Zach Verhey from Atlantic Marine Systems in West Kennebunk, Maine when we made an inquiry to Dometic Sanitation about its Vacuflush sanitation systems. Verhey is a dealer and he came out to the boat to give us an estimate for the system. It turns out that he is a graduate of the Kennebunkport-based Landing Boat School Marine Systems curriculum and he could design and install electrical, sanitation, freshwater, and air conditioning systems. Since Verhey offered a reduced rate for off-season work and we had flexibility with our schedules, it was a match made in heaven.
System Control
Verhey's design includes four 200-amp per hour 4D Lifeline batteries for the house bank. The distribution panels are by Blue Sea Systems and the Inverter/Charger is a Mastervolt Mass Combi 12/2000-100 (120-volt).
This is Pure Sine Wave inverter with three-step Plus battery charging. Mastervolts' description says, "Power can be drawn from a shore connection, generator or charged batteries. The three-step Plus charging method guarantees more battery power and a longer life span. Batteries are always fully charged and fast, even when a generator is used."
We also like that the units are stackable so if we find later on we need more AC power we can add another unit.
Verhey's plumbing system design is elegantly simple and functional. The pump for the freshwater system is a Jabsco Ultra-Max. It is a fully assembled water pressure set with pump, pressure switch, accumulator tank and strainer. Once you have the unit connected to the water tank, you turn on the power and as the flow of water becomes steady at your faucets, you close them. Shortly after the faucet is closed, the pump automatically switches off until you open the faucet again. The water pipe and fittings are from Whale and all slip together making the job of installation a pleasure.
Needs To Be Hot
Wade wanted to use a tankless propane water heater so we would have unlimited hot water on demand, but Verhey wasn't crazy about the idea mainly because of the difficulty in venting the exhaust, so we took his advice and went with an 11-gallon Isotemp marine electric hot water heater. We are both hoping that it will give us the hot water we need and not be too much of an energy hog. It won't be a problem when we are connected to shore power or have the generator running, but I'll be interested to see how it will do on batteries. Only time will tell.
It has been a pleasure working with Verhey and we both feel we are fortunate to have such a talented professional nearby. This is when the realization came that this boat was not only starting to "look like something," but was becoming a reality. All the systems are so intricate, impressive and so new and clean!
One night after dark Wade took me out to the boat and he turned on the courtesy lights. Who knew such small objects could bring such great joy! By the time he turned on the overhead lights, I practically needed smelling salts. The lights are high efficiency LED lights. I was amazed at the "warm" color they provide. All 10 of the interior lights draw a total amp load of 4.4, which is less than one 60 watt light bulb!
Seeing these lights, I knew our future was in this boat and that Wade's dad was looking down so proud of his son and I was just starting my greatest adventure-decorating! Check out our blog at http://www.musbenice.com/ for updates.

Why The Golan Case Matters: Pulling Works From The Public Domain Is A Massive Tax On Culture
from the a-big-problem dept
The case is important for many different reasons, including helping to establish just what the "traditional contours" of copyright law are -- which is of key importance, because the Supreme Court has declared that copyright can't be expanded past the traditional contours without leading to greater Constitutional scrutiny. However, one thing we've noticed, is that copyright maximalists in our audience have brushed aside the Golan case as a minor concern because it impacted just a few works (foreign works) that most people probably didn't care about anyway.
Thankfully, there's an excellent piece at The Chronicle of Higher Education that both tells the story of Professor Lawrence Golan himself, and why this case matters, noting how the locking up of these works has serious impact on musicians around the country, effectively cutting off important pieces of culture from their repertoire:
That may sound abstract, but the impact on Mr. Golan was direct. When a work is in the public domain—that Puccini opera, say—an orchestra can buy the sheet music. Symphonies typically cost about $150. And the orchestra can keep those pages forever, preserving the instructions that librarians laboriously pencil into scores. But works under copyright are typically available only for rent. And the cost is significantly higher: about $600 for one performance. With the flip of a switch, the new law restored copyright to thousands of pieces.It's great to see this case getting more (and more thorough) attention. Hopefully, the Supreme Court recognizes the significance of the case.
For big-city orchestras like the New York Philharmonic, that change is like a "mosquito bite," Mr. Golan says. But Mr. Golan's university ensemble gets only about $4,000 to rent and buy music each year. That means it can perform some copyrighted works but must rely on the public domain for about 80 percent of its repertoire. And $4,000 is relatively generous. Other colleges might have only $500 to spend on music. When the Conductors Guild surveyed its 1,600 members, 70 percent of respondents said they were now priced out of performing pieces previously in the public domain.
Teaching suffers, too. Every year, for example, University of Denver students compete for the honor of playing a concerto, a piece in which the orchestra accompanies a solo instrument. But when a pianist wanted to audition with a piano concerto by Prokofiev, a Russian composer who died in 1953, Mr. Golan was forced to tell her no.
"It's one that any aspiring pianist needs to learn, and to have the experience of actually playing it with orchestra is phenomenal," Mr. Golan says. But "we just didn't have the money in the orchestra budget to pay the rental price."

Barack Obama has asked President Bush to submit a request to Congress for the second half of the $700 billion TARP fund so that it will be available to him shortly after his inauguration. Obama promises changes in how the funds will be used, missing the point entirely that it's the very use of the funds in the first place that is egregious and off-putting to the American people, who overwhelmingly opposed the bailout's passage. Even more alarming however, is how the president-elect says he plans to spend the money:
Separately, Larry Summers, Obama's choice for National Economic Council director, said the new president intends to broaden the goals of the remaining bailout package...
Obama intends to use the Troubled Asset Relief Program to help community banks, small businesses, consumers and homeowners as well as large financial institutions.
Excuse me, but that's illegal! It is clearly and plainly contrary to the legislation. As I noted in December when Bush illegally used TARP funds to extend loans to GM and Chrysler:
The Troubled Asset Recovery Program passed by Congress to bail out the financial industry set very clear guidelines for its money's use and the White House has blatantly violated those guidelines: "The bailout statute defines 'financial institutions' eligible for the bailout as 'any institution, including, but not limited to, any bank, savings association, credit union, security broker or dealer, or insurance company.'" Does it sound to you like automaking companies qualify?
I'm sorry but consumers, homeowners, and small businesses do not qualify under the guidelines of the law passed by Congress (unless the small business is specifically a finance business). Even if Obama will use the money better than Bush did (which is very possible, considering that its use has not been well-accounted for by the financial institutions that received it), that's beside the point. It's illegal and unconstitutional, illegal because it breaks the law, unconstitutional because it's the president defying Congress and ignoring the Constitution's clear separation of powers.
I'm getting so sick of this! This is not a partisan rant against Obama, as I have been just as vocal in my denunciation of Bush for the same exact thing. Violating the law and the U.S. Constitution is just a matter of course now for politicians in both major parties. This is yet another out of many examples to illustrate that our country's leaders no longer care about the rule of law. And what sickens me even more is that Americans sit idly by, not knowing or caring that this is happening.
Do you care? Are you an exception? I would love for you to prove me wrong and show me that Americans do care that our leaders do the right thing. Start spreading this around. Start getting angry! Hold Obama accountable -and Bush! -and Congress! Make phone calls, send e-mails, and ask questions. Let's make sure our leaders know that we take liberty and law seriously.

Sentenced to one to three years in state prison in a Hamilton Township vehicular homicide case, a man was denied Monday in his request to modify his bail, so he could get out of jail pending an appeal.
Sentenced to one to three years in state prison in a Hamilton Township vehicular homicide case, a man was denied Monday in his request to modify his bail, so he could get out of jail pending an appeal.
Monroe County Court Judge Stephen Higgins denied the bail modification request defense attorney Michael Ventrella filed on behalf of Jaswinder Singh, 31, of Parlin, N.J. A modified bail would have allowed Singh to get out of Monroe County Correctional Facility and await the judge's ruling on Ventrella's appeal.
On July 5, 2010, Singh, who is believed to have been driving distracted and was witnessed speeding and swerving, lost control of his tractor-trailer while heading south on Route 33 in Hamilton Township. The tractor-trailer crossed the median and hit a northbound Toyota Corolla driven by University of Scranton student Paul Miller Jr., 21, killing Miller.
Singh later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. State law allows a defendant who has been sentenced to less than two years to seek a modified bail.
Ventrella said in court Monday that Singh's minimum sentence is one year, while the prosecution said his sentence includes a three-year maximum and thus doesn't qualify him for a bail modification.
Ventrella said Singh would honor any conditions of a bail modification, such as turning in his passport and reporting his whereabouts on a regular basis to authorities. Ventrella said Singh, prior to sentencing, was out on bail and even briefly left the country, but returned in time for sentencing without police having to put a warrant out for his arrest.
"This shows how trustworthy Mr. Singh is," Ventrella said. "He just wants to be with his wife and two young children."
The prosecution said Singh would take advantage of his ties to India and would go there if granted a bail modification.
"We would have never seen him again," Assistant District Attorney Curtis Rogers said. "And that would be another terrible blow to the victim's family, who've been fighting nearly three years for justice."
Higgins agreed, denying Singh's request.
At the judge's ruling, Singh's wife, sitting with the rest of his family, wept with their 3-year-old son in her lap.
Nearby, Miller's mother, Eileen Miller, gave a silent cheer with tears in her own eyes as she sat next to Miller's father.
"(Singh) needs to stay in jail and serve time for taking our son's life," Paul Miller said. "He'll still get to be with his children after he's done his time, while we'll never see our son again."

Proper cowboy food from a trailblazing Soho rib joint - but tiny and very popular and no bookings, so prepare for a long queue on Friday or Saturday night.
Please note, Pitt Cue Co has now closed, opening a new site in the City. Time Out Food & Drink editors, Feb 2016.
Come to this trailblazing rib joint on a Friday or Saturday night and there's one certainty: a painfully long queue. Not only do you have to shuffle along patiently, but once inside, you still might have to wait a little longer (though at least you can order drinks). Even if you play smart and come one quiet weekday lunchtime, you may still endure a brief pause, but for rib-lovers, it'll be worth it. The Pitt Cue-ers honed their craft under a bridge on the South Bank, selling to a demanding, social media-savvy, twentysomething audience – and their cooking rarely misses a beat. On our visit, the gargantuan signature ribs arrived with blistered, blackened skin, revealing ruby fall-off-the bone meat that was both smoky and dangerously rich. To cut through the cholesterol, there was a finely shredded 'slaw, with two kinds of cabbage, coriander seeds and a light, zingy vinaigrette. We also enjoyed chunky pieces of pork melting into a heap of wholesome beans, and hunks of chargrilled bread, showing off their scorch marks – this is proper cowboy food. Low lighting, sparse decor and a joyfully kooky soundtrack set the tone in the intimate basement room; if you opt for perching along the wall in the ground-floor bar, prepare to be jostled.

Reservations not accepted, so there's usually a huge queue in the evening - I'd recommend going for lunch instead (from 12 noon) and definitely order the bone marrow mash! And pickle back shooters!
Went to Pitt Cue last night. Arrived at 5.35pm and just missed the queue. Had a good cocktail and the best pork scratchings of my life at the bar (I know no one goes here for pork scratchings but if you like that kind of thing you should definitely try them). We were seated downstairs at 6pm, as promised, and served by friendly informative waiters. The food was amazing. We shared the lamb breast, pulled pork, ribs and loaded skins. The ribs and lamb were particularly good. I would definitely go back.
The first time I went to Pitt Cue Co was about 18 months ago and it is a night I will never forget. It was sub-zero outside and we waited, along with many others, for just over two hours. I am glad that I didn't leave the queue that night as I don't think I would have bothered again if I didn't try it that night. Once inside, the bourbon-based cocktails were flowing and the warmth of smoked pulled pork and rib goodness soon turned my cold blue lips to their usual colour, along with a healthy coating of BBQ sauce around the fringes. After such a long wait it was easy to be pleased, I would have ate anything. However, on every visit since the food has been faultless, pulled pork, ribs, pork chops, lamb rump, onglet, 70 day aged rib eye, pigs head sausage, chicken wings, chicken thighs, etc, I've had everything, it's all amazing. And after doing many of these at home following the release of the Pitt cue co cookbook I can only appreciate the food that Pitt cue co serve daily, these mouth watering delights take a serious amount of time and effort! If you have not been before, make sure you get the bone marrow mash, it is (according to my girlfriend) like eating a hug. So comforting. And finally, the meat cannot take all the credit. Dessert here is phenomenal and completely undersold. Everything from the redcurrant cheese cake, the chocolate peanut butter tart to the bourbon and salted caramel sticky toffee pudding. Put me in a pig pen and the desserts in the trough and I would still eat every last delectable bit. Unfortunately it is cramped and the queue can be long, but you'll soon get over that!
If I was a pig, just entering an abattoir, my porcine trotters would be held up praying, praying that this is where I would end up. There is magic in the dark art of smoking and slow cooking meats and beelzebub or his acolytes are at work here crafting deep flavours and memorable meals. It is a small site and so thus there may be waits from time to time but the friendly, snug bar delivers cracking cocktails and bourbons to warm the cockles and aid digestion - which is needed as my last visit required a wheel barrow to transport me away - sadly this is not a current facility.
Excellent - really good food and a cool buzzy atmosphere. The bourbon and pickle shot was quite special too. A must BUT just get there early if you don't want to wait!!
Completely and utterly disappointed with my friend and I's experience at Pitt Cue today. We came on our lunch break, I have been previously so I understand the wait to be seated. However, there was hardly any customers - we were ignored as we walked in by the manager who was too busy practicing her frowning and complaining about customers than actually acknowledging and greeting her customers. Eventually a very friendly waiter did attend to us and managed to get us seated. After waiting 30 mins we were told our food with be another 15mins, which is understandable. The 15 minutes came and went, waiting a further 10 mins we asked the waiter to check on our food. He came back and told us it would be another 5 mins. We waited, and nothing came. We then started to realise that everyone else around us was waiting, and people nearly 4 orders behind us were only just being served. We eventually, after waiting an HOUR AND A HALF for food had to leave. I am shocked and appalled that a place with such a reputation is rife with bad management and poor communication. Also why is a place trading and providing a lunch service if they do not have the facilites to deal with the customers? No explanation was given, no real apology nor any form of compensation. I've never walked out of a restaurant in my life, a place I will not be returning to and would never recommend to any of my friends.
Brilliant and understated little place oozing quality across the board. we want a recipe book from them haha. cant wait to go back!
Eschew the normal BBQ options and head there when the lamp chops are on. And don't forget the sensational shiitake shrooms!!!!
We were also stollers on the South Bank when we discovered the Airstream under the bridge. The delightful and easy on the eye brother and sister team have those five stars aligned, when it comes to their product and business. One of our memorable meals on our London trip 2011. Blessings on your new venture!! Have they made it to Auburn, Alabama yet?
This place is as good as everyone says it is and reasonably priced too. Get in the queue at 5.30 for first service at 6 or you'll be in for a long wait.
Stingy portions - not really the right impression for a new restaurant to be giving
Apart from the queue (which was bearable since snacks can be ordered), the service was great, food delicious and in generous portions and prices reasonable. Save space for dessert as their sticky toffee pudding is the best!
'Half hour wait'.. Wow, really?? That was lucky! We waited nearly an hour just to get in then almost another hour to be seated. I have to say the food really is that good though. However if there is a queue outside I would say get in line at your own risk. As great as the food was and as nice as the people that worked there were it's simlpy not worth waiting close to two hours for food when you go already hungry.
Great vibe, great service, great little place- but get there early or you'll be waiting outside for over 40 min. Food is typically American-very tender Brisket and pulled pork, lovely burnt mash. Although was still repeating my meal 6 hours later. Heavy, oily but tasty food. Def worth going!
Food was lovely. It is much more easy to get a table for 2. For 4? Double you waiting time!
great vibes.
Two times, Two weeks. I'm hoping to make this a regular appointment. This is some dang fine finger lickin' food.
What a great evening out. Tangy ribs, famous pulled pork, crunchy pickled sides, suculent beef ribs and the most amazing burnt ends and mash. Oh, and the drinks were pretty nifty too! So it has been worth the wait and the Hungerford van withdrawal symptoms. Well done.
Loved these guys out of the van and this is all about taste, just aim for 11:55!!
Hugely enjoyed the PCC trailer at the Southbank over the summer and looked forward to the "proper" restaurant opening. Very impressed; the basics are as good as before (pulled pork, brisket and ribs) and the extra space has allowed the chefs to let rip on some fantastic extras - the exquisite pickle-marinaded, panko-crumbed, deep-fried shiitake mushrooms were amazing. Great vibe, charming hosts and the best loo wallpaper in London.
Really enjoyed the PCC trailer on Southbank over the summer and the actual restaurant is even better. The standards (pulled pork, brisket, ribs) are still excellent (surely best in London ?) and having a restaurant allows scope for extras such as the exquisite pickle-marinaded panko-coated deep-fried shiitake mushrooms. Even the loo's look amazing.
Superb restuarant and food in a great setting - these guys are brilliant.

VML, SVG and Canvas
Take a couple weeks off from blogging and it's real hard to get back into it. I have been working toward a BETA at my day job, playing around with a web project at home and enjoying the end of year holidays as well.
Anyway, the web project is a web application that makes heavy use of graphics. Started building on IE with VML (Vector Markup Language). I gained experience using VML from my day job. Had no problems putting together a pretty good vector graphic editor, complete with HTML text inside shapes. The editor would be a core component in the web application. Then I started adding in support for Firefox. The plan was to abstract the VML/SVG differences and use as much common code as possible. JavaScript libraries like Prototype made lots of the work easy.
The big pain was the feature differences between VML and SVG. Here are some of the problems:
- VML was built as an extension to HTML. SVG is a separate specification. It took a little time to figure out how to get SVG inside an HTML document (called Inline SVG) to work correctly. Also, I can mix HTML and VML together easily in any combination. SVG requires the use of <foreignObject> to mix in HTML and Firefox does not enable <foreignObject> by default.
- Shapes in VML (<rect>, <ellipse>, etc.) support text child elements. When I reposition the shape, the text moves with it. It appears that shapes can't hold text child elements until SVG 1.2, which supports <flowPara> child elements. For now, changes to the shape must be manually mirrored to the sibling text elements.
- Text in VML supports wordwrap. SVG does not and I can't believe it. Again, SVG 1.2 supports <flowPara>, but I am not sure wordwrap is part of <flowPara>. How long will it take SVG 1.2 to get implemented in Firefox, Safari and Opera?
- VML supports the same level of CSS attributes as HTML. SVG does not support the same level. One attribute I could not use was 'cursor'.
My biggest problems with SVG are text related. Maybe I just don't know the right way to do it in SVG. I'm still learning.
And then there's <canvas>. It has good support in Firefox, Safari and Opera (soon). Along comes Emil Eklund with an implementation of <canvas> in IE and now I have to consider switching to <canvas> as the lowest common denominator. My biggest problem with <canvas> is text (I see a theme here). I am not sure how to handle text with <canvas>.

Vallejo police confirmed Wednesday that a couple found in a boat earlier this week died as a result of a murder-suicide.
Timothy Murray, 41, apparently shot his wife, Jade Murray, 42, before turning the weapon on himself, Vallejo police Capt. Jim O'Connell said.
The couple was discovered at about 10:45 a.m. Tuesday when officers went to the couple's boat, parked at Dock C in the Vallejo Municipal Marina, 42 Harbor Way, after a request for a welfare check. Jade Murray's relative was concerned after not being able to get in touch with either of the couple for several days, police added.
When they entered the boat, the officers found the couple with gunshot wounds. They also found the weapon, which was consistent with the shooting, nearby Timothy Murray, O'Connell said.
The couple had been married for about three years, and had history of domestic violence when they were living at the Glen Cove Marina, he said. A business owner in the area also said that the couple had just recently moved to the Vallejo Marina.
It was not immediately known when the actually shooting took place before officers found the bodies.
The death of Jade Murray marked the city's 12th homicide in 2014, including a fatal officer-involved shooting. —— (c)2014 Times-Herald (Vallejo, Calif.) Visit Times-Herald (Vallejo, Calif.) at www.timesheraldonline.com

Agency also receives application for assistance for Hotel Niagara
On Wednesday, the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency approved an application for assistance submitted at its August board meeting by Sustainable BioElectric LLC. The company plans to build a renewable energy facility in the Summit Business Park in the Town of Wheatfield. The NCIDA board also accepted an application for assistance for consideration from JSK International Corp. The company will restore the historic Niagara Hotel in Niagara Falls.
"The alternative and green energy sectors are important industry clusters that we need to continue to target and cultivate," said Henry M. Sloma, NCIDA chairman. "We are starting to build an excellent portfolio of such companies in Niagara County that we can use to possibly target potential business opportunities in these growing and emerging industry sectors."
Sustainable BioElectric is owned by Forest City Sustainable Resources LLC and Quasar Energy Group. Once completed, the renewable energy facility will produce energy through the anaerobic digestion of organic wastes such as food waste, fats, oils, greases, manure, crop waste and bio-solids. The total estimated cost of the project is $4.1 million; the facility will create seven new jobs, with an annual payroll of approximately $350,000.
Renewable energy facilities such as Sustainable BioElectric are essential to meet the nation's demand for energy as well as the need for new environmentally friendly innovations to dispose of various wastes. The company is also following the New York Service Public Service Commission's newly adopted renewable portfolio standard that encourages the generation of green energy technology throughout the state.
Sustainable BioElectric application for a 15-year industrial payment in lieu of taxes, sales tax abatements and mortgage recording tax abatement was approved. The estimated cost benefit analysis calculates that the project will have an annual positive economic impact of approximately $1.858 million on Niagara County.
JSK International Corp. plans to fully restore and reopen the Niagara Hotel, located at 201 Rainbow Blvd., in the prime tourism district of the city. The historic 200-room hotel was constructed in 1924, but has been closed and vacant for several years. Plans call for restoring the entire hotel, including nearly 30,000 square feet of event space and food and beverage outlets.
The total cost to restore the Niagara Hotel is approximately $23.6 million. Once restored, the hotel will offer 70 full-time positions and 85 part-time positions, with an annual payroll of approximately $4.78 million. In addition, the project will create more than 100 construction jobs.
JSK International Corp. is requesting a 10-year commercial PILOT, sales tax abatements and mortgage recording tax abatement. The estimated cost benefit analysis calculates that the project will have an annual positive economic impact of more than $15 million on Niagara County.
"The proposed project to restore the historically significant Niagara Hotel is very important to Niagara Falls," Sloma said. "The restoration of this historic site will bring new life to a property that has sat dormant for years in the middle of the main tourist section of the city, and it will significantly enhance lodging options for the millions of guests that visit the Falls each year from around the world."
About the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency
The Niagara County Industrial Development Agency is a not-for-profit public benefit corporation established in 1972 by the Niagara County Legislature. Under the provisions of the New York Industrial Development Agency Act, the NCIDA is empowered to actively attract and develop economically sound commerce and industry, thereby fostering job opportunities, general prosperity, and economic welfare for all residents of Niagara County. The NCIDA utilizes a variety of financing, tax-incentive, and job-training programs to induce economic growth. Many of these programs can be employed individually to meet a specific need or assembled to form a comprehensive development package.

Orthodox Study Bible
The Orthodox Study Bible is a book of Holy Scripture specifically geared towards an Orthodox audience. It contains articles and study aids written from an Orthodox perspective. At present, only the New Testament and Psalms are included, but an expanded edition including the Old Testament is expected to be published by Pascha, 2007.
The translation of the Orthodox Study Bible (first published in 1993) is the New King James Version, which itself was first fully published in 1982.(1)
Thomas Nelson Publishers first published the Orthodox Study Bible. It is now being published by Conciliar Press.
The Orthodox Study Bible was the result of a collaboration between numerous Orthodox scholars, clergy and lay leaders. The initial draft was prepared by the academic community of St. Athanasius Orthodox Academy. Some of the credited contributors of the Orthodox Study Bible project include:
- Project Director - Fr. Peter Gillquist
- Managing Editor - Mr. Alan Wallerstedt
- Special Consultant - Fr. Thomas Hopko
General Editors
- Joseph Allen, Th.D.
- Michael Najim, Ph.D.
- Fr. Jack N. Sparks
- Theodore Stylianopoulos, Th.D.
- The NKJV New Testament was first published in 1979, the Old Testament in 1982.

A musical about Edgar Allan Poe. It sounds like a bad idea. A really bad idea. Maybe one of the worst ideas that anyone has ever had.
So it's surprising to learn that director Thaddeus Phillips has spent the past 10 years working on this really bad idea and turning it into something astounding. Inspired by Poe's mysterious last days on Earth, Phillips and his creative partners have crafted "Red-Eye to Havre de Grace," now lauded as a breakthrough musical.
"At times funny, at times heart-breaking, and from quirky start to haunting finish a feast of entrancing visual allurements, this exquisite show is among the most original musical theater works I have seen in years," wrote New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood, reviewing a 2012 production of "Red-Eye."
"That review brought a lot of attention to the show," says Phillips. "Sometimes you get a great review, but you can tell the reviewer missed the entire point of the show. But [Isherwood] clearly understood what we were trying to accomplish. It was very satisfying."
The folks at ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage apparently agree with the review. They bring "Red-Eye to Havre de Grace" to the Paramount Center Mainstage, in Boston, Feb. 13-16.
The launching point for the show is the odd and unfinished journey at the end of Poe's life.
"It was a train ride from Virginia to New York where he was going to get his mother-in-law and then return to Richmond to marry his old high school sweetheart," says Phillips. "But he never got to New York. He ends up dead in Baltimore."
When Poe was found in the street and hospitalized in 1849, he was in bad shape, slipping in and out of consciousness, and mumbling cryptically about things that are still the subject of debate. Oh, and he was wearing someone else's clothes. A gothic writer's gothic end.
"That's the dramatic spark that took us on this journey," says Phillips.
Phillips and his collaborators (including music by the Wilhelm Bros. & Co.) were also inspired by the dichotomy between the works that made Poe famous and the ones that he viewed as important. While everyone knows "The Raven" and "The Tell-Tale Heart," fewer readers know "Eureka: A Prose Poem," in which Poe intuitively discusses the nature of the universe and even God. Phillips and the creative team read it and loved it.
"It's an amazing piece of writing," says Phillips. "It's about the make-up of nature. He breaks down how he believes the world has been constructed. He sees the big picture, socially, philosophically and physically. He even has these neat comments about the United States, talking about the money-loving, greedy part of society. They are radical thoughts. And very contemporary."
"Red-Eye" finds humor and poignancy in the fact that Poe thought "Eureka" would change the way people saw the world, but instead they just wanted to hear "The Raven," a poem Poe would have preferred to recite nevermore.
The creators also found music. And when it came to writing the songs, they realized they already had a lyricist: Poe. It wasn't his poems that provided the words, it was his letters. A treasure trove of them. The Wilhelm brothers worked Poe's words into their music, and the creative team discovered an inspired way to deliver them. The majority of songs are sung not by Poe, but by a narrator.
"It kind of highlights his mental state," says Phillips. "No one busts out singing a song like in a traditional musical. They are sung behind him, kind of projecting what's going on in his mind."
That creative staging adds to the show's haunting look, crafted by Phillips, who also designed the show.
Solving design problems "is one of the things I love about theater," says Phillips, who was born, raised and educated in Colorado. "If you read the play, it looks like a screenplay [with multiple locations], so how do you re-create that onstage? You need to make a train station, train compartments, a hotel room. With a big budget, you'd have to build all that crap. But this is very minimal. Just delicate stage images. Very sparse."
At the center of it all is Ean Sheehy, who has been getting rave reviews for his portrayal of Poe. (The New York Times called him "simply superb.")
"He's just great," says Phillips. "Even at his audition he was really able to express different aspects of Poe's character. Ean can completely go down the crazy path. But he's not just the clichéd dark and troubled Poe, he also finds this mischievous quality that seems to have been part of Poe. Ean is a very playful actor. I remember during rehearsals I would sometimes hear him say something under his breath, just to himself, and I'd think, 'That's so Poe.' "
Asked if he ever wonders what Poe would think of "Red-Eye," Phillips doesn't hesitate.
"I think he would appreciate it more than anything else that's been written about him," he says. "I'm not trying to sound arrogant. But he was a writer, an artist, a creator who was trying to express really interesting things [in 'Eureka'] and no one wanted to listen. We kind of give him the chance to express the things the he really wanted to say."

Grant to fund summer research program in science
PLAINVIEW – Science students at Wayland Baptist University will be able to add another dimension to their studies, thanks to a grant from the Welch Foundation.
The $75,000 grant will cover three summers of an undergraduate research program in the department of chemistry, making it possible to add the research dimension for students.
"It takes a lot of money to do scientific research," said Dr. Joel Boyd, assistant professor of chemistry and one of two who will be overseeing the summer program. "It's not like just going to the library; it's hands-on work in a laboratory with consumables and expensive equipment and lots of time."
Boyd said while the department has done some research projects with limited funds or in conjunction with the honors department, the resources just weren't there to do a formal research program. In acknowledging that students headed for either medical school or some career in scientific research needed that exposure at the undergraduate level, Boyd and Dr. Adam Reinhart, assistant professor of biological and physical sciences, began working the research component into the degree.
The first step, taken a few years ago, was to add a research track for science majors and allow credit hours for research projects and a thesis for students choosing those opportunities. Such a plan allowed students who spent their summers at other institutions or labs doing scientific research to earn credit toward their degree.
But with the Welch grant, the summer research program doesn't have to take students far from campus. The 10-week program will employ four students as research assistants on two different projects Reinhart and Boyd developed and will oversee. Reinhart's project deals with investigation of the Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory (StAR) gene which produces natural steroids. Boyd's research will deal with methods for removing the nitrogen from compounds placed in water.
In support of the project, the university chipped in free room and board for students participating as well as free tuition toward credit hours for research. Reinhart and Boyd said that move helps make the program an even sweeter deal for students and will allow the pair to use the remainder of the Welch funds for equipment and other resources needed for their projects.
"The bulk of the funds, though, goes directly to students. This really is a student-centered endeavor," said Boyd.
Reinhart said receiving the grant is positive in several ways.
"The Welch Foundation is really interested in taking a good chemistry program and making it stronger," Reinhart said, adding that the foundation initiated the contact with Wayland and visited the campus before asking Reinhart and Boyd to apply for funding. "It's just so important to have the research component, because that's really what science is. And in graduate school, you actually do more research than lecture classes."
Boyd echoed the sentiment.
"When a student comes out of this program, they will have done graduate school in a microcosm; they'll have done independent research, written and presented a thesis… that's graduate school," Boyd said. "Plus, this builds on their experience and confidence level."
The pair said they're hoping to develop a structured plan for students taking the research track, which would involve them in research at Wayland during their sophomore year and the following summer, then encourage them to participate in summer research programs at larger institutions and build networking contacts for graduate school or future jobs.

Very Sad: Mother Murdered, 11-Year-Old Still Missing & Father Arrested!
"Police have arrested the estranged husband of Maryland mom Jane McQuain in connection with her murder, but are still searching for her 11-year- old son William who was last seen several weeks ago. Curtis Lopez was arrested at 9:30 a.m. today in North Carolina and charged with first degree murder of McQuain, who just weeks ago confided to an ex-boyfriend that she was afraid of Lopez and thought he might kill her. McQuain, 51, of Germantown, Md., was found dead in her home Wednesday afternoon after a friend contacted police saying they hadn't been able to get in touch with her in awhile. William McQuain, 11, was declared a missing person and Maryland state police issued an Amber Alert to try and locate him. Montgomery County, Md., police chief Thomas Manger said today that witnesses had helped lead police to Lopez, saying they had seen Lopez around the home and loading property into McQuain's vehicle around the time of the murder."
