UPDATED: Thursday, July 29, 2010 - 1:50am
He is the former mayor of the fourth largest city in the country, but he has his work cut out for him. Bill White is challenging the longest serving Governor of Texas, and he stopped by KETK to talk about it.
When I knew Bill White in Houston, he was chairman of the state Democratic Party.
He was an unlikely looking politician then, but in the face of many doubters in the party, he ran for and won 3 mayoral terms, and a surprising amount of Republican support. And now, he's facing his biggest challenge yet.
A San Antonio native and Harvard graduate, White came to Houston in 1979 to practice law.
He was Deputy Secretary of Energy under President Clinton, and later went into the oil and gas business.
He served 3 terms as Mayor of Houston, and now, is vying to break a 16 year Republican lock on the governor's mansion.
"Under Rick Perry, the Texas Department of Transportation was diverted by its obsession with that corrupt land deal known as the Trans Texas Corridor," White says.
Right now though, he is running an average of 5 points behind incumbant Rick Perry. While White's campaign is encouraged by that, it is a gap that will be tough to close, and he knows it.
"What I'm hearing; and I heard it again just this morning," he told us, "is that Rick Perry and he just wants to stay in office."
White stopped by our East Texas Live program to discuss how he intends to do that, and what kind of governor he wants to be…for example, border security.
"For 9 and a half years, Rick Perry has been responsible for getting the federal resources we need," white says. "He hasn't done that. The role of the governor would be to get those federal resources we need to protect what is a federal border."
And an issue many are talking about, increasing federal regulations and programs.
"I like to see government closer to the people," White declares, "rather than more distant from the people. But there's a difference in someone who shouts into a microphone, and somebody who gets results."
White and Perry are fairly even in fundraising, so the closing months of the campaign should be interesting.

What Are Your Five Words To Ruin A Job Interview?
Chances are, if you hire people for a living, you've experienced your share of unimpressive interviews. Job seekers come in unprepared, they don't have great answers to your questions or they just seem like they want to be anywhere else but there.
In fact, we recently wrote about common interview mistakes.
But have you ever sat across the desk from a prospective employee and had to hold in a gasp after he or she uttered something completely inappropriate or ridiculous?
67% of Candidates Expect a Phone Call from Employers After Applying
Some want a phone call, and some just want some kind of response, but new CareerBuilder research shows the message is clear: 62 percent of candidates want more personalized communication from employers during the application process than they're currently receiving.
5 Questions to See If Video Interviews Are Right For You
Selfies are proof that we, as a society,
are narcissists love to see ourselves on camera. But does that also extend to more professional endeavors, such as video interviews? More importantly, is it beneficial or a hindrance to hiring managers and recruiters?
It depends.
Today about 6 in 10 companies use video interviews as part of the hiring process. TWEET THIS
Nearly 3 in 4 (74 percent) hiring managers and 3 in 5 recruiters say video interviews make their jobs easier, according to this infographic on online job interviews.
Job Interview Do's and Don'ts: The Art of Strategic Interviewing
In today's world where 70 percent of candidates say their experience during the hiring process impacts their offer decision, you simply can't afford not to pay attention to the candidate experience — a large part of which is your interview process.
As part of CareerBuilder's "HR Connect" monthly webinar series, Keith Hadley — practice leader, employment branding at CareerBuilder — and Jennifer Way — president, Way Solutions — offered up tips for employers on the art of strategic interviewing.
Zen and the Art of Strategic Interviewing
If you've ever looked up at the stars and asked yourself, "What is strategic interviewing, and how can it help me select and hire the right candidates?" (and who hasn't?), today could very well be your lucky day.
Announcing The Art of Strategic Interviewing, a new, complimentary webinar from CareerBuilder.

Skilling Them Softly: How to Evaluate Candidates' Soft Skills
Looking for candidates with soft skills? There's one type of question you must ask.
Watch out, hard skills and technical know-how: You've got competition. According to a new CareerBuilder survey, the vast majority (77 percent) of employers consider soft skills just as important as hard skills when it comes to evaluating candidates for a job, and 16 percent even say they're more important.
Action Required: Do's and Don'ts for Rejecting Candidates
If there's one thing hiring managers and HR professionals need to know about today's candidates, it's that they take to rejection the same way Taylor Swift does: They don't go down quietly.
Though they may not write chart-topping pop songs about the employers who scorned them, they do take to social media to publicly vent their frustrations, putting a dent in those companies' employer brands – and even their bottom lines.

The staff, from Housekeeping to Front desk, everyone was very pleasant and willing to make my seven night stay very comfortable. Delicious breakfast buffet. I found it to be quiet at night so one could get a good night's sleep. - Anonymous
Nice staff. Nice facility for the money. Clean. Great water pressure in the shower!! - Anonymous
I liked receiving a phone call from the front desk soon after entering room to find out if everything was alright with the room.
Repair on shower was done within a few hour of reporting it. Very friendly, efficient and prompt repair man. - Anonymous
Desk staff wonderful. Excellent service! Great Breakfast! Clean! We stayed here last year while attending the Woodward Dream Cruise. Again we had a wonderful stay. Thank You, and hats off to the staff:) - Anonymous
Check-in was efficient and night desk mgr., was polite and helpful!
Room was clean and everything operated well. It appears the property is undergoing some updating and renovation...but it didn't interfere with our stay. Great value in an in-demand location between Novi/Northville and Farmington Hills. - Anonymous
It was quiet, relaxing and had a good view. - Anonymous

On November 12, 2009, the US Patent & Trademark Office published a new patent application from Apple that reveals various concepts behind a newly advanced pen-based Tablet. Interestingly Apple won their first ink engine patent this past July. In that particular report you'll be able to find other links to a tablet related patent that illustrates a classic notebook/tablet combination design. Today's patent closely relates to their recently granted patent but provides us with a little more insight into the tablet's future usage with apps such as pen-based notations, musical scores or even business forms. The oddity to this patent perhaps, lies in the speed in which it became public. The patent was only filed in July of this year and published in less than three months: Is Apple in a hurry? In late September Apple rehired one of their original Newton developers Michael Tchao. Although Apple's groundbreaking Newton ultimately failed, the fact is that it was a pen based tablet computer. In context, today's patent data has to be added to the facts that Apple is indeed working on a new type of tablet computer that may in fact include an ink based engine that could use a stylus-like pointer.

|VIDEO: The Ghibli/EVANGELION-Team Live-Action Trailer
|May 11, 2012
|Studio Ghibli Produces A Live-Action Short
|May 8, 2012
It was many years ago that I first got hooked on the anime classic Neon Genesis Evangelion and it's several different movies that were each labeled as the "true end". While the previous movie End of Evangelion stood as the latest 'true end'. Now, has begun another dramatic retelling of the Evangelion series. Rather than just blowing up the classic frames of the anime for the theater. The entire series was sent back to square one for the animation in rich high detail perfect for the Blu-ray generation, This is a review of the first Blu-ray in the Rebuild of Evangelion series, Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone.
"The visual work called Evangelion is composed of a variety of desires.
And it turned out the best way for us do that right now is to redo Evangelion for the theater. "
Original Story, Screenplay, Chief Director
Hideaki Anno (Sept. 28 2006)
So earlier tonight I had the pleasure of watching Shiki-Jitsu (or The Ritual for some people), a movie by none other than the fantastic Hideaki Anno…and damn, that movie is amazing, absolutely perfect in every possible way.
The film is about an anime director (played by indie Japanese filmmaker Shunji Iwai) returning to his hometown where he meets this freaky young girl (Ayako Fujitani, also writer of the script and novel) with whom he falls in love with. This may seem as a typical love story at first but believe me, it's anything but that. As usual with Anno's work, the movie takes the viewer for an emotional; somewhat mindfucking roller-coaster ride and the two characters are lovable and intriguing at the same time.
The film definitely has that special touch that only Anno can provide. It's filled with weird (though more functional than those in Anno's live-action debut Love & Pop) camera angles, there's heavy focus on dialogue, the soundtrack mostly features beautiful piano tracks and the story is never really clear (in a good way). It's also better than the aforementioned debut Love & Pop, though both films are fantastic; this one feels more complete in a way which I can't really explain.
The actors also do a fantastic job in allowing us to relate to the characters. I'm not sure if Iwai has done any acting before, but he plays the cynic filmmaker quite well here, but the very best part of the film is Fujitani as the eccentric young girl…it doesn't hurt that she's incredibly gorgeous either. Oh and did I mention that it also features Megumi Hayashibara (you know…Rei) providing her amazing voice for some narrations?
So in conclusion: watch this movie; you won't be disappointed, especially if you're a Hideaki Anno fan.
Oh, on an unrelated note, I watched the two Death Note movies, and they're awesome, I was never a fan of the manga but I loved them, the guy who plays L was amazing.
Next on my watching list: All About Lilly Chou, Tokyo Gore Police, 20th Century Boys, Unforgiven, New Police Story.

matte or satin for kitchen
Hi. My husband and I were thinking of doing satin for the kitchen because of the high traffic with 3 kids and a dog. My questions are:
What finish is usually used in the kitchen, is it matte or satin or something else?
Would satin be too glossy and if so, then should we use matte?
Would matte be durable enough?
Thanks for the help. I really like this forum and glad to have found it because we don't have too much experience with interior painting.
Depends on what brand of matte paint you're talkin' about.
BenM Aura or SW Duration in matte would hold up just fine in the environ you describe.
Some satins can absolutely end up too shiny - have to get samples to make that determination because gloss levels are not consistent brand to brand. Color also matters - if you have a midtone and a deeper color both in the same brand and gloss level, the deeper color will look shinier than the midtone despite all other things being equal.
I used eggshell on the ceilings and walls, because I'm just that kind of avant-garde Bohemian type. I also used oil semi-gloss on the painted wood trim, but keep that under your hat!

I am trying to implement a projectile motion for my app.To begin with I am trying to plot the points on the projectile.I am assuming my initial velocity to be 5m/s.
I tried to calculate my initial velocity based on projection angle for x and y direction respectively.But I am getting it's vale us NaN(Not a number).
Also I am trying to plot first 10 points on the path of trajectory but am getting NaN for them also.As the time returned by now is in millisecond I am converting it into seconds.
Please suggest where I went wrong.

Log.w(this.getClass().getName(),"drawProjectile called");
mUx = mUi*Math.acos(angle);
mUy = mUi*Math.asin(angle);
Log.d(this.getClass().getName(), "Value of mUx: " + Double.toString(mUx));

Pasadena, CA – During 10 years of discovery, NASA's Cassini spacecraft has pulled back the smoggy veil that obscures the surface of Titan, Saturn's largest moon.
Cassini's radar instrument has mapped almost half of the giant moon's surface; revealed vast, desert-like expanses of sand dunes; and plumbed the depths of expansive hydrocarbon seas. What could make that scientific bounty even more amazing? Well, what if the radar images could look even better?
Thanks to a recently developed technique for handling noise in Cassini's radar images, these views now have a whole new look.
Presented here are side-by-side comparisons of a traditional Cassini Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) view and one made using a new technique for handling electronic noise that results in clearer views of Titan's surface. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASI)

Pasadena, CA – Researchers studying data from NASA's Cassini mission have observed that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, behaves much like Venus, Mars or a comet when exposed to the raw power of the solar wind. The observations suggest that unmagnetized bodies like Titan might interact with the solar wind in the same basic ways, regardless of their nature or distance from the sun.
Titan is large enough that it could be considered a planet if it orbited the sun on its own, and a flyby of the giant moon in December 2013 simulated that scenario, from Cassini's vantage point.
This diagram depicts conditions observed by NASA's Cassini spacecraft during a flyby in Dec. 2013, when Saturn's magnetosphere was highly compressed, exposing Titan to the full force of the solar wind. (NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Pasadena, CA – Ten years ago, an explorer from Earth parachuted into the haze of an alien moon toward an uncertain fate. After a gentle descent lasting more than two hours, it landed with a thud on a frigid floodplain, surrounded by icy cobblestones.
With this feat, the Huygens probe accomplished humanity's first landing on a moon in the outer solar system. Huygens was safely on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn.
The hardy probe not only survived the descent and landing, but continued to transmit data for more than an hour on the frigid surface of Titan, until its batteries were drained.

Pasadena, CA – NASA's Cassini mission continues its adventures in extraterrestrial oceanography with new findings about the hydrocarbon seas on Saturn's moon Titan.
During a flyby in August, the spacecraft sounded the depths near the mouth of a flooded river valley and observed new, bright features in the seas that might be related to the mysterious feature that researchers dubbed the "magic island."
The findings are being presented this week at the Division for Planetary Sciences Meeting of the American Astronomical Society held in Tucson, Arizona.

Pasadena, CA – When Galileo first observed Venus displaying a crescent phase, he excitedly wrote to Kepler (in anagram) of Venus mimicking the moon-goddess. He would have been delirious with joy to see Saturn and Titan, seen in this image, doing the same thing.
More than just pretty pictures, high-phase observations — taken looking generally toward the Sun, as in this image — are very powerful scientifically since the way atmospheres and rings transmit sunlight is often diagnostic of compositions and physical states.

Science at NASA
Washington, D.C. – Generally speaking, space missions fall into one of three categories: difficult, more difficult, and ridiculously difficult.
Flybys are difficult. A spaceship travels hundreds of millions of miles through the dark void of space, pinpoints a distant planet or moon, and flies past it at 20 to 30 thousand mph, snapping pictures furiously during an achingly brief encounter.
Going into orbit is more difficult. Instead of flying past its target, the approaching spaceship brakes, changing its velocity by just the right amount to circle the planet. One wrong move and the spacecraft bounces off the atmosphere, becoming an unintended meteor.
Pasadena, CA – As it soared past Saturn's large moon Titan recently, NASA's Cassini spacecraft caught a glimpse of bright sunlight reflecting off hydrocarbon seas.
In the past, Cassini had captured, separately, views of the polar seas and the sun glinting off them, but this is the first time both have been seen together in the same view.
This near-infrared, color view from Cassini shows the sun glinting off of Titan's north polar seas. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. Arizona/Univ. Idaho)
Pasadena, CA – NASA scientists have identified an unexpected high-altitude methane ice cloud on Saturn's moon Titan that is similar to exotic clouds found far above Earth's poles.
This lofty cloud, imaged by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, was part of the winter cap of condensation over Titan's north pole. Now, eight years after spotting this mysterious bit of atmospheric fluff, researchers have determined that it contains methane ice, which produces a much denser cloud than the ethane ice previously identified there.
This cloud in the stratosphere over the north pole of Titan is similar to Earth's polar stratospheric clouds. (NASA/JPL/University of Arizona/LPGNantes)
Pasadena, CA – A new study focused on the interior of Saturn's icy moon Mimas suggests its cratered surface hides one of two intriguing possibilities: Either the moon's frozen core is shaped something like a football, or the satellite contains a liquid water ocean.
Researchers used numerous images of Mimas taken by NASA's Cassini mission to determine how much the moon wobbles as it orbits Saturn. They then evaluated several possible models for how its interior might be arranged, finding two possibilities that fit their data.The study is published in the October 17th issue of the journal Science.
This mosaic of Saturn's moon Mimas was created from images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft during its closest flyby of the moon on Feb. 13, 2010. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute)
Pasadena, CA – Scientists analyzing data from NASA's Cassini mission have discovered that a giant, toxic cloud is hovering over the south pole of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, after the atmosphere there cooled dramatically.
The scientists found that this giant polar vortex contains frozen particles of the toxic compound hydrogen cyanide, or HCN.
"The discovery suggests that the atmosphere of Titan's southern hemisphere is cooling much faster than we expected," said Remco de Kok of Leiden Observatory and SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research, lead author of the study published today in the journal Nature.

About this location
The Powys region
Vulcan Lodge - the Faulkner sits in the Upper Wye Valley which is designated an area of special interest and beauty. It is only 3.5 miles from the market town of Rhayader: the gateway to the Elan Valley. With its network of reservoirs and dams the Elan Valley is considered to be the Lake District of Wales.
The backdrop to the area is the Cambrian Mountain Range which extends from Rhayader to the coast of Ceridigion.
Rhayader is a vibrant town with much to offer the visitor. With its Leisure Centre, Elan Valley Visitor Centre, Museum, Community Arts Centre (CARAD), Willow Globe open air Shakespeare theatre and the Red Kite Centre it is rich in culture and interests. Each year there are a number of agricultural shows in the surrounding villages and Rhayader itself has a Grand Carnival week with events occurring on a nightly basis over a 10 day period. There is a programme of free events at the Elan Valley Visitor Centre throughout the summer season and the Leisure Centre offers school holiday activities for children. There is also a playbarn 3 miles from the cottage.
With a population of just over 2,000 Rhayader has a range of shops including a Spar store and chemist. It also has 12 pubs!
For walkers the Wye Valley Walk is just a 10 minute walk from the cottage. The Red Kite Centre at Gigrin Farm where the wondrous raptors can be seen at close quarters at feeding time, is 3 miles away. For cyclists there are many cycle paths and trails close by and in Rhayader there is a mountain bike centre which offers guided tours as well as bike hire. For canoe enthusiasts there is a canoe access point on the river a short walk away and there are many opportunities for fishing both on the rivers Wye and Marteg and at Llyn Gwyn pool owned by Rhayader Angling Association.

"Nice secluded stay for two"
Right in the centre of Wales my girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Vulcan lodge with the beautiful scenery and the river right on the doorstep.
Thank you for taking the time to review the Faulkner cottage. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay. It is as you say a beautiful part of Wales and we love sharing it with our guests. Very best wishes,
10 Sep 2013
This cottage was lovely, well equipped clean and spacious , Just off a main road but once in the grounds you would not think so, my only criticism would be that caravans can pitch up right outside your door and they can look directly in your windows not as remote as we thought
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with such positive feedback about your stay with us. It is much appreciated. I'm sorry you found the tourer vans a bit close: I presume you are referring to the French windows in the lounge not the bedroom windows which of course are too high to be overlooked. You are right in saying the Vulcan Lodge is not remote. I've now adjusted the information on our website to make this clear.
Like you many guests love the river walk. We are so lucky to have it on the doorstep. Also, the Wye Valley Walk itself is only just across the river and can be reached by a 10 minute walk through Llanwrthwl village.
Thank you again for giving us your feedback.

"Excellent accomodation in a beautiful part of Wales, perfect for a quiet break"
The cottage was spotless and beautifully decorated. All possible needs were catered for, with plenty of tourist information.
Walks along the river adjacent to the lodge were suitable for experienced walkers, dog owners and family groups.The lakes and dams are within easy driving distance and are set in stunning landscape - perfect for photographers and painters.
Altogether a lovely place to visit with super accomodation.
Don't forget your camera - I did !
Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. What a pity you forgot your camera. If I'd known, I have a spare you could have borrowed. Never mind perhaps you will come again - our beautiful scenery is not going to go away!

So the year passed by, just like that - or so it feels, now, afterwards, when I can do nothing about anything that happened but leaf through the memories and events in my mind.
To make what could have been a very long story very short I have chosen a few events just to summon up an outline of 2012 from my perspective. I have purposely chosen not to write (whine) about injuries, school and other depressing stuff even though I must admit that these has been kind of my own constant moan at times. One thing I will confirm, however, is that right now I have a stress fracture on my right shin-bone due to overtraining. Some scans revealed it a few weeks ago. And to make this a non-whining statement (like I just promised to save everyone from), I want to say that this will be over soon enough and that I can now fully climb agin. So no excuses.
Here are an outline of some of the main events with matching pictures from my 2012! Enjoy.
The year 2012 is coming to an end and as one often does at the end of a year I find myself looking back, evaluating, reviewing and re-experiencing the year that has passed. I think about all the memorable climbing experiences I have had, all the fun and exciting things that happened, all the big highlights. And I also think about the things that were not so good, climbs I could not finish, trips and competitions that did not go as well as I hoped and things in my training and plans that I wish I had done differently. I also evaluate the decisions that I made and see how this has changed my life as a climber.
After I finished high school in the summer 2011 I decided to have one year where I just focused on climbing, training and traveling before I started university. Therefore when the year 2012 began I was in Spain doing sport climbing. I was in a pretty good shape after an autumn where I only had been climbing and not having to juggle schoolwork and training every day. I had a greaRead More...
Hi folks! I have small news for mankind and big news for me and my family – I am pregnant! Well, it aint since yesterday, just going through 6th month now and my belly clearly shows whats going on. Feeling really happy and excited about this change in my life although I was a bit confused at the beginning. We were just packing stuff for summer boulder tour when I found out the big news. For a moment we thought about cancelling our rock trip but quickly came to conclusion that 20 days in the Alps will be nice chance to isolate in nature, consolidate my mind and accept new situation.
Also I got really nice book about pregnancy from good friend of mine so I had chance to learn practical stuff about this new world I have suddenly entered. First few risky months were kind of stressfull but since than I started to feel much better physicaly and mentally. Right now I am in some flow state of mind, everything goes according the plan and hope it will keep this way till the end of the journRead More...
What's going on lately? A lack of rock that's what's going for the last months. Since summer (a month in Targasonne) I didn't climb outside. It is one of the downsides of living in the Netherlands, we have no rock! Ok Font is not too far away but still a 5 to 6 hour drive and that simply didn't work out. This didn't mean that nothing happened. I kind of lost my motivation for competitions, that's the reason that I quit the Dutch team. Next year no worldcups for me. Why I lost my motivation for comps is all bit blurry for me, I think part of the disappointing results but also due to my ambitions on rock.
The motivation to perform well on real rock is just a lot bigger for me and because of a busier schedule I had to make a choice. The fact that I quit the international competition scene doesn't mean I lost my motivation to train. Thanks to a new bouldergym close to my home motivation even might have grown. Delfts Bleau is the first bouldergym near Rotterdam (only a 10 min drive for mRead More...
It can be really draining trying a problem over and over. And trying a single move for days on end can seem like a complete waste of time, particularly if you have the attention span of a goldfish, like me. Now, what was I saying? Oh yeah...I spied this beautiful prow about four months ago, but didn't even wander up to have a proper look at it until a couple of weeks later. I was immediately blown away by how perfect the rock was and how difficult each individual move would be. Initially, I was only able to do three of the eleven moves, but could conceive doing all but one of them.
I have done of lot of new problems this year and it has been incredible. Most of them have taken only a session or two to knock over, apart from the Taken, which due to its height proved more of an issue. But, I have lacked something really hard to throw myself at. This prow would be perfect. The crux is low to the ground, easily worked on without a spotter and it is close to home, so after work sessions Read More...
Moon Board T-shirt Competition
Okay now's your chance to get both creative and on the front of a new Moon Board t-shirt!
We are currently working on some new t-shirt graphics and one of the ideas we are playing with is a montage of climbers Moon Boards. There are already some nice photos of your Moon Boards on the Moon Climbing website but we would like to see if you can do even better. The winning entries will get a free t-shirt and the glory that goes with being on the front of a Moon Climbing t-shirt. If you would like to give this a go you can use any of the following methods to send us your photos.
Last fall, when I did the Swiss/Italian route on Cima Ovest leading every pitch ground up onsight, I knew it was only the beginning of something bigger. I knew I had to keep exploring the routes in Tre Cime. The idea of trying to do three big routes in the Dolomites started to form in my head. What was growing on me was a sense that I really wanted to try and push myself on the walls of Tre Cime and in the Dolomites.
An evolving process
I knew that the routes I wanted to do in Tre Cime were much more demanding both mentally and physically compared to the Swiss route. In order to pull them off I would need to devote much more time to training than I usually do to get stronger. Normally I spend all winter and spring ice climbing and alpine climbing but this winter and spring of 2012 I devoted to staying in shape on rock, doing some indoor climbing as well as benefitting from excellent conditions in St Leger in February and March.

Watch Live: Swansea vs. Sunderland (lineups and discuss)
Oct 19, 2013, 9:22 AM EDT
It may be early in the season, but Sunderland are already fighting a relegation battle and absolutely must get a result at Liberty Stadium today (10 am ET, watch live online via NBC Sports Live Extra). Swansea, for their part, are above the drop zone thanks to a combination of goal difference and goals scored.
It's the first match in charge of Sunderland for Gus Poyet, and boy does he have a tough task on his hands. The Black Cats have just one point this season, earned against Southampton, and have lost their last five straight. After sacking Paolo Di Canio, Sunderland very nearly caused a huge upset against Manchester United last time out, with Craig Gardner scoring the opener within five minutes. But we all know the sad ending to the tale: Sunderland's leaky defense was ripped apart by Adnan Januzaj, and now they can boast of having let in 16 goals in seven games. But with the return of Steven Fletcher today, they may at least have a chance to put a goal or two in the back of the net. That means Jozy Altidore drops to the bench for the visit to Wales.
The Swans, meanwhile, really need to get their act together, starting with getting three points at home, a feat they haven't accomplished since March. It'll be Michu, of course, that Swansea will look to in order to get the attack flowing, but they'll also be hoping Wilfried Bony can add to his league scoring tally. The hosts welcome back Jonathan de Guzman and Leon Britton, with Jose Canas and Jonjo Shelvey making way.
Swansea starting XI: Vorm, Rangel, Chico, Amat, Davies, Britton, de Guzman, Michu, Dyer, Routledge, Bony
Subs: Tremmel, Taylor, Tiendalli, Canas, Shelvey, Pozuelo, Vazquez
Sunderland starting XI: Westwood, Celustka, Bardsley, O'Shea, Roberge, Cattermole, Johnson, Larsson, Gardner, Giaccherini, Fletcher
Subs: Dossena, Colback, Vaughan, Altidore, Cuellar, Borini, Mannone

Glenwood Community School District Superintendent Devin Embray hopes a procedural change to the district's construction bid process and how those contracts are awarded can prevent the kind of issues that have shrouded a concession stand project in controversy and resulted in a board member's resignation.
Dave Warren has stepped down from the Glenwood Community School District Board of Education, citing personal concerns about a recent school board vote to award a construction contract to a company partially owned by a fellow member of the board.
Kreg Kinzle, Mike Pomerenke and Mike Schmidt have devoted nearly their entire professional careers to the education of children in the Glenwood Community School District. Between the three of them, they share more than a century of teaching experience in the district – 104 years to be exact.
On Tuesday, the three retiring teachers spent their final day in a classroom setting.
Understandably, it was a bittersweet day.
"I'm going to really miss the kids and my colleagues," Pomerenke said. "When you've done something like this for 37 years, it just becomes a part of your life."
The Glenwood Community School district has completed a $254,000 overhaul to the lights at Ram Memorial Field and A.C. Nuckolls Field that will substantially improve safety at two of the district's most frequently used fields.
TABOR - Representatives from the Sidney and Fremont-Mills boards of education are scheduled to meet in Tabor tonight (Wednesday, Feb. 23) to discuss opportunities to expand the sharing of resources between the two school districts.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the Fremont-Mills School Media Center.
The two districts, both members of the Corner Conference, currently share resources and expenses in several areas, including transportation, maintenance and business services.
The Glenwood Community School District has wrapped up the purchase of a parcel of land that will serve as the future home of the district's bus barn and maintenance facility.
The district completed the $300,000 purchase of the former Evans Equipment property located at 601 Railroad Avenue on Dec. 1. The district plans to transition the current bus and maintenance facility, dubbed the "bus barn" and located adjacent to Northeast Elementary School, to the new site over the next three months.
The third time did indeed turn out to be the charm for the Glenwood Community School District Instructional Support Levy (ISL).
The special levy, which will help fund the district's curriculum needs, passed by a narrow 51-49 percent margin last Tuesday. The levy received 868 "Yes" votes and 839 "No" votes.
The Glenwood Community School District is hoping the third time is the charm for the Instructional Support Levy.
After the two previous attempts failed to pass among district voters, Glenwood is again seeking permission to collect more than $700,000 in additional tax revenue to support learning needs and curriculum improvements in the cash strapped district. The ISL measure will be put to a district-wide vote in February.
The Glenwood Community High School "Pride of the Rams" Marching Band hosted and participated in the Iowa High School Music Association State Marching Band Contest this past Saturday at Ram Memorial Field.
Seventeen bands from western Iowa will perform before judges at Ram Memorial Field in Glenwood at Saturday's Iowa State High School Marching Band Festival.

I took my grandchildren and daughter-in-law. I never realized that the theater had a balcony. I assumed we would be in the mezzanine. Thus it was a bit more difficult to see the show with people passing by.
However, the show itself is a delightful experience watching children perform. It is my 4th show at Coral Springs and although there are excellent productions out there, this is like watching my children perform and I'm so proud of the effort these children put forth. Some of the children were excellent - but the others were like the delight you feel when you find a new shiny penny.

Dear Query Shark:
Most people, when offered a new job, find the decision process fairly straightforward. Since Sandra Lee Johnson's profession is killing people, her decision process is understandably more complex.
Most people, when offered a new job, find the decision process fairly straightforward. Since Sandra Lee Johnson's profession is killing people, her decision process is understandably more complex.
If this is a query for a book about whether to take a job, you've set the stakes pretty low, even if the job is assassin.
Approached by her former ex-Army lover, Sandra is given the opportunity to kill terrorists for her country. And not just kill them, but to do so in ways that are so horrific they will dissuade the others from continuing with their radical ways.
Illegal? Perhaps. Effective? Probably. Fun? Hell, yeah!
I'm as much in favor of kick ass, violent thrillers as the next shark, but I'm having a hard time with "fun." This is one of those things that can work well in a book where you have time to meet the characters and appreciate their dark humor, or coping mechanisms. In a query, this a pretty brutal thing to read.
Sandra has a more immediate concern, however: survival. Someone now knows that she's an assassin for hire. Her primary objective is to find a way to protect herself.
Is she? I thought she'd been offered the job and was mulling it over (see paragraph one)
The non-governmental organization (NGO) who wants to hire her considers her to be the perfect candidate, largely because she can kill without remorse. Sociopathic tendencies are considered a positive when your job is to inflict terror.
This is set up, and we're five paragraphs in to the query. Either this goes earlier, or comes out.
The NGO's leader has told her that, regardless of her decision, her secret is safe. Sandra can't afford to believe them, as much as she'd like to, even though she considers the job perfect for her.
Someone knows she's an assassin? that's what's at stake?
To protect herself, she sets up a computer file outlining what she knows about the NGO. She then contacts an old friend, US Representative Pamela Calvert. Sandra knows that her former pal, who is just as callous as she is, owes her a favor.
Sandra explains her dilemma in vague and general terms. She then asks for her friend's help, telling her she'll send her the file if the NGO exposes her, or through a failsafe release process should they decide to remove their risk by killing her.
Sandra's congressional friend agrees in principle with the NGO's goals. She also realizes that exposing the organization could provide her with much-needed positive publicity for her upcoming Senate run. Accordingly, Representative Calvert sets out to find proof of the organization's existence, uncaring of what such exposure would mean to Sandra.
Sandra would love nothing more than to take the torture game back to the terrorists. At the same time, her primary goal of self-protection may have unfortunate consequences.
If Sandra doesn't play her balancing act perfectly, she may end up destroying both her organization and herself. Then again, as one of Sandra's new colleagues puts it: how can you have any fun without a little risk?
Sandra couldn't agree more. Then again, it all depends on how you define the word 'fun.'
Shock Force is a 92,000 word International thriller. Thank you for your time and consideration.
This is a mess. You've got way too much focus on a question that doesn't matter: will she take the job. The book doesn't work unless she does take the job, so leave all that stuff out of the query. Remember the Raymond Chandler quotes about kill your darlings. Here's where you see that in action.
Focus on what matters: Sandra's ugly job gets her killed unless…what? If she keeps the job a secret what good thing happens? What bad thing also happens? What's her skin in the game so to speak?
I know you have told us not to use sentences that begin with 'but,' 'however' or 'so.' However (hee hee), the above query seems to lend itself to the use of those words. Take the first paragraph, for example. It would seem to have more punch if it were written thusly: "Most people, when offered a new job, find the decision process fairly straightforward. But since Sandra Lee Johnson's profession is killing people, her decision process is understandably more complex."
To me, the use of 'but' in that sentence gives the reader the instantaneous impression that what follows is going to be in opposition to what precedes it. Without that word, you don't set your emotional state to where this is going, so you have to think back to what came before to make complete sense of those two sentences. In other words, it doesn't seem to flow as well. When you read, "Since Sandra Lee Johson's . . .", you don't already know if her decision process is going to be straightforward or not, until you reach the end. It seems to be slighty more confusing without using that 'but.'
I could use the 'but' in a compound sentence, but then I'd violate your 'keep sentences short' rule. So, my question: looking at the two competing first paragraphs, which one seems to give a better impression and flow? And could you also expand on why we shouldn't start a query sentence with those banned words?
You're worrying about the wrong thing here. The query doesn't work right now. You need to revise substantially.
And using but, how, so, or and effectively is perfectly acceptable in a query. All too often they're used as filler. The way to make sure you're NOT using them as filler is to see if a sentence is stronger without them. In your case, the words aren't filler.
I don't read queries with a check list of rules or watching for banned words (well, ok, fiction novel is the exception there) I read them to find good stories I'll want to represent. Right now you're not telling me about that story.
Revise, resend.

Reviews For Fiebings NEATSFOOT-OIL
This Product:
Fiebings Neatsfoot Oil Leather Conditioner
Neatsfoot oil compound can cause premature decay of stitching, but shouldn't cause any problems for synthetic threads. Also, keep in mind that this stuff will almost certainly darken your leather permanently. So, while it does the job very well, make sure you're happy with a shade darker on your boots.
