Yael Weiss, eighteen years old and looking for adventure, finds it in the library one day when she discovers a packet of guns meant for Erinyes, an Armenian organization set on avenging their people's massacre by the Turks in 1915. While the weapons make her nervous, Dub Hagopian, the young Armenian-American soldier sent to retrieve them, excites her in a completely different way.Smitten, Yael impulsively follows Dub to France by volunteering with the YMCA, reinventing herself along the way as twenty-five-year-old Methodist Yale White. When she and Dub cross paths again, Yael gets caught up in a crowd bursting with both the passionate ideals and the devil-may-care energy of youth–with consequences neither of them could ever foresee.

Joss Barratt
Actress Lesley Nicol was in Chicago for a few days, minus the white apron she wears as Mrs. Patmore in the kitchen of PBS' "Downton Abbey," which wrapped up its season last night.
She was in Chicago to bring the story of legendary English pianist Myra Hess to the Chicago Cultural Cente.
The U.S. premiere of the theatrical production "Admission: One Shilling" with pianist Inna Faliks is being held in the hall where the free lunchtime Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts are presented by Chicago's International Music Foundation.
Written by Hess' great-nephew and composer Nigel Hess, "Admission" celebrates Myra's determination to lift the spirits of Londoners during World War II with noontime performances of classical music.
The Chicago performance is a break from a three-month stint living with her husband on the West Coast, where Nicol was surprised at the number of people who recognized her (even at Costco). While there she added her voice to those of Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson for an animated film ("Turkeys") and headed to Vancouver to film a bit for ABC's "Once Upon a Time."
And while Nicol doesn't consider herself a cook (Hello? Does "The Good Wife" Julianna Margulies practice law in her spare time?), she does appreciate the Downton pros around her who keep the whisk and kettle action true. How else would the culinary disaster of a broken hollandaise be saved by a yolk in Season 3?
We caught up with Nicol before she headed back to her West London home and the February filming of "Downton Abbey's" Season 4. The following is an edited transcript.
Q: So Alastair Bruce, the historical adviser to the show, does he find stuff wrong in the kitchen?
A: He's very strict. It's as simple as this: In (this) season, we've got more people in the kitchen because there are more kids around now that the war's over, and there was a thing where the director said, "So, I think Mrs. Patmore comes in with Daisy, and she's got a tray." and Alastair goes, "No!" And we go, "No? No tray?" And he says no, because now we have plenty of staff back, and Mrs. Patmore does not carry the tray. And you won't find her doing the menial tasks in the kitchen because she doesn't have to. Her job is Gordon Ramsay. She's seasoning, she's checking, she's making sure everything is up to speed like a proper chef. . He's always looking for detail like that.
Q: Alastair covers people's behavior, who does what, that sort of thing. What about the food?
A: We also have some very good props guys who are the ones who prepare the dishes, give you the equipment if you're whisking something or whatever. Luckily one of the prop guys is a chef. And I try to avoid doing anything technical so nobody will be able to say, "Well that doesn't look right." But we were doing something with a sauce, and I just said to him: "What stage are we? What have we done? And where are we at, and what do we have to achieve?" and he would just be able to tell you that.
We also have a home economist who creates those big dishes when there's a dinner party and amazing elaborate dishes. She brings those in. So if we need to, we can ask her technical questions.
Q: What are some of the challenges you've had in that kitchen?

Greatest animal movies for people and pets
MAJOR CUTENESS ALERT: This Thursday night, Walker Open Field will present Tragedy on the Sea Nymph, a 10-minute film operetta starring an all-dog cast. The film will be shown at 9:15 and again at 9:45 p.m., and is free to the public.
The piece, described as a story of "romance and tragedy of clandestine lovers shipwrecked at sea," is intended to be enjoyed by both canines and owners alike. But while watching the trailer, which is overflowing with dog-on-dog action (video after the jump), we couldn't help but think: what about other pets?
That's why this week, in the interest of fairness--and an unhealthy obsession with YouTubing "talking animals"--we've put together our list of the most amazing movies for animal lovers of all kinds.
Joe's Apartment
While dogs are always running around doing awesome stuff like saving people from fires and playing basketball, some of us just aren't responsible enough to own an animal that needs things like "food" and "sleep" and "rad Christmas outfits." Thank God for roaches.
The movie Joe's Apartment--Jerry O'Connell's finest work--features an army of musical, six-legged beasts doing what they do best: helping slackers from the mid-'90s get laid. While it may not have made a ton of cash at the box office, this is the perfect flick for you and your (unknown) house guests to kick back and enjoy together, while wallowing in your own fantastic slobbery.
Plus, if you have roaches and you don't have any friends you've got plenty of time for shitty MTV movies.
Oliver & Company
What's that? An animated Disney movie on this epic list of awesome animal films? You better believe it is; cool guy.
All you need to know about Oliver & Company is that there's a talking cartoon cat trying to make his way in New York City. Oh, and did we mention the cat is voiced by JOEY FREAKING LAWRENCE? That's right; before he was running game on Blossom's friends, JL was a 12-year-old kid voicing kitties in Disney movies. Still not convinced that this movie should be tops on the list for you and your feline's date night? How about the fact that Billy Joel plays the role of his street-smart mentor AND belts out a hit single while wearing sunglasses? A DOG WEARING SUNGLASSES!?!? The only thing better than that would be a dog fighting crime! It's too bad Hollywood never thought of that.
Turner & Hooch
BOOM! Just when you thought you and your dog had nothing in common, here comes a tale of Tom Hanks and Beasley the Dog (nothing makes me happier than when the dog gets his own name in the credits) solving murders, make romantic connections, and wrecking cars in the most hilarious ways possible. This movie should be required viewing for everyone who wants to own a murder-solving, romantic-connection-making, super-dog who personally knows Tom Hanks.
And isn't that all any of us really want?
Howard the Duck
On the surface, Howard the Duck is just like any other romantic/action/comedy movie you've ever seen:
Mutant duck from outer space accidentally ends up in Cleveland. Duck meets sexy struggling female singer. Romance and sexual innuendos ensue. Duck does karate. Duck destroys monsters from outer space. Duck manages sexy female singer's musical career.
But once you get past the amazing effects and the most sensual love scene ever shot, you see that this movie is really about people who love ducks, hate space monsters, and REALLY love Tim Robbins. Whether you have a real-life talking duck from outer space, or you just hear things because you've huffed a bunch of gas, this movie is a can't-miss stop on your journey through cinematic animal excellence.

I've searched and Googled around for a while now, but I can't seem to find the answer to what seemed to me a straightforward question: is it possible to set-up the Customizr slider to NOT auto-advance at all? (And if so, how? :P)
I would like to use the slider as a navigational element, and remain on the main image until the user decides to click on one of the navigational arrows.
Thanks a lot!

Overall Experience
Great facility
July 28, 2016
Front desk was attentive and pool area clean. The location was central to all the places we needed to visit. My only issue is with the suite reservation there was not a couch or pull out chair. My only disappointment was the bed size; but it did sleep comfortably.
Enjoyed our stay
July 27, 2016
We were perfectly satisfied with our accommodations and the readiness of the staff to assist us was appreciated! However, it was not as handicap friendly as I had hoped. My mother is wheelchair bound and we found the property a bit difficult to navigate. The parking was not van accessible near the front door and where there were larger handicap parking spaces I couldn't find a ramp to the sidewalk to use for our wheelchair. Also there were no sliding doors or buttons to push to open the doors. The front is not very obvious or welcoming and in particular it is a bit difficult to navigate when pushing someone in a wheelchair. Just some thoughts on ways to make things more handicap friendly. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel.

We choose this property for the location. It was good value for the money. We got off to a little bit of a rocky start at check-in, but it was addressed by the staff to our satisfaction.
July 19, 2016
We felt very safe on the property. The parking lot was well lit when we returned late at night.

Straits of Disaster
How a British gambit in World War I turned into a battlefield fiasco
See corrections and amplifications item below.
On Feb. 19, 1915, British warships attempted to force the heavy Turkish defenses of the Dardanelles, the entrance to the straits in northern Turkey that are the key link between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The British struck in search of an indirect approach to victory. World War I was in stalemate, the two sides locked into trench warfare in northern France. The hope was that a battle fleet appearing off Istanbul would compel Turkey's capitulation, secure a supply route to hard-pressed Russia, and inspire the Balkan states to join the Allied war effort and eventually to attack Austro-Hungary, thereby pressuring Germany.
The British government gave much consideration to the eventual division of the Ottoman lands once the straits were captured but very little to how the operation might actually be executed. The amateurish preparation and the resulting fiasco are recounted with sharp, taut precision in "Gallipoli: The End of the Myth," Robin Prior's near-definitive analysis of the campaign.
The assumption that Britain would simply sweep to victory over second-rate Turkey was just the first of many errors of judgment. At each stumble, when a logical examination of the campaign would have had only one possible conclusion—withdrawal—Britain's leaders doubled down, eventually committing a half-million troops to the Gallipoli Peninsula in a sequence of bloody landings and operations.
The initial landing at Cape Helles set the tone for the eight months of fighting: a landing that was supposed to be only lightly opposed turned into an abattoir. A captain in one of the first regiments to land wrote in his diary: "Off we went the men cheering and dashed ashore with Z Company. We got it like anything, man after man behind me was shot down but they never wavered. Lieut. Watts who was wounded in five places and lying on the gangway cheered the men with cries of 'follow the captain.' Captain French of the Dublins told me afterwards that he counted the first 48 men to follow me, and they all fell."
By the time all the Allied troops were finally evacuated on Jan. 9, 1916, they had suffered 130,000 battlefield casualties, with probably twice that number invalided because of diseases such as dysentery and typhoid. For an attack conceived as a way of reducing the carnage in northern France, it doubly failed.
The historians took to the fields of Gallipoli almost the moment the soldiers left them. The poet and essayist John Masefield had piloted a naval ambulance during the campaign, and his "Gallipoli"—which originated as a series of lectures for the American market—became a best seller in 1916. Masefield romanticized the slaughter, drawing parallels between the khaki-clad troops and the epic heroes who fought on the Asiatic coast of the Dardanelles, before a city called Troy.
Later in 1916 came C.E.W. Bean's "Anzac Book," an anthology of poems, stories and drawings by the soldiers of the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC)—"Practically every word in it was written and every line drawn beneath the shelter of a waterproof sheet or of a roof of sandbags." Bean, who had won a lottery to be the official Australian newspaperman with ANZAC, would become a chief mythmaker of the campaign. Appointed official historian of Australia's experience in World War I, he wrote six of the 14 volumes whose publication he would oversee, including the first two volumes, on Gallipoli.
Bean propounded the idea that the colonial troops were stoic and tough and led to the slaughter by bumbling, effete Brits. He ended his history with the declaration that "it was on the 25th of April, 1915, that the consciousness of Australian nationhood was born." April 25, the date of the first landings at Gallipoli, became Australia's national day of remembrance, and the legend of Ginger Mick, shipped across the world to be slaughtered on Turkish beaches because of old men's folly, is still widely known.
The biggest bumbler in popular perception was Winston Churchill. As First Lord of the Admiralty, he was the father of the Dardanelles attack and bore the brunt of the blame. The bloody disaster shattered his glittering political career. For close to a decade his speeches were interrupted by cries of "What about Gallipoli?"
In 1922, Churchill began a memoir to defend his wartime decisions. (That the book evolved into a six-volume general history of World War I called "The World Crisis" is all too indicative of the man.) The defense of the Gallipoli campaign is at the heart of the narrative. It is a sequence of almosts and if onlys.
Churchill presents the strategic conception in the rosiest of hues, and the execution, especially the performance of Britain's minister for war, Herbert Kitchener, in the grayest. "The World Crisis" depicts Gallipoli as a noble failure, an effort that would have saved innumerable lives on the Western Front had it been undertaken with tactical competence.
For Churchill, it was "a long chain of missed chances," missed because the government delayed the attacks repeatedly—allowing defensive buildups by the Turks at all the critical points—and failed to respond to setbacks promptly, with sufficient troops and ammunition. "It was not through want of judgment that they failed, but through want of will-power," Churchill wrote. "In such times the kingdom of heaven can only be taken by storm." (He also called the government's failure to persevere a "crime.") Churchill's interpretation was seconded a few years later by the British official history of the campaign. Its author, Cecil Aspinall Oglander, had been a senior staff officer during the fighting and had a strong desire to defend conduct he held much responsibility for.
'The Royal Navy had ruled supreme since Trafalgar. In the early years of the twentieth century its position had been tested by the rapid growth of the German fleet. But at the outbreak of war the Royal Navy was still dominant. '
Interest revived a generation later with Alan Moorehead's 1956 best seller, "Gallipoli." A popular war correspondent, Moorehead made a gripping narrative of the fighting. He emphasized "turning points" squandered by the local commanders and defended the Churchillian line that Gallipoli could have shortened the war by years. Moorehead relied on already published accounts. His book was "superb literature," as Robert Rhodes James put it, "but doubtful history." Disagreement with Moorehead's conclusions—especially his acceptance of the claim that the campaign could have affected the outcome of the war against Germany—sent Rhodes James into the archives, and his "Gallipoli" (1965) was the first scholarly evaluation of the campaign.
He demonstrated that Gallipoli's "errors in execution stemmed directly from the fundamental fallacies in the original conception." It was a devastating appraisal of the self-justifying writings that had dominated the literature for nearly half a century. While Rhodes James noted Churchill's mistakes, he also stressed Churchill's essential good faith in pursuing the Gallipoli operation and showed that blame should have been apportioned throughout the highest quarters of the British government. In his new history, Robin Prior takes this line to its reasoned end.
For any operation to have succeeded at capturing the Dardanelles and allowing free access to the Black Sea, Mr. Prior argues, would have required immense operational preparations and the element of surprise. The one was always likely to negate the other—as was repeatedly proved on numerous fronts between 1914 and 1918. Mr. Prior shows that, from the moment of its consideration by the British war cabinet, the Gallipoli operation was managed in a lackadaisical manner by leaders uninterested in the realities of modern war. Where Churchill and Aspinall in their histories passed the buck down the chain of command, blaming local commanders for failing to achieve tactical successes during the battles on the Gallipoli peninsula, Mr. Prior kicks it up, right to the top of Prime Minister H.H. Asquith's government.
By Robin Prior
Yale, 288 pages, $35
Step-by-step, Mr. Prior examines the campaign and demolishes each layer of myth. The Straits would not, in fact, have fallen to the British navy if only the admirals had acted with more resolve, he shows, because the admirals had no ability to deal with the Turkish minefields, even if they had miraculously managed to put the Turkish guns out of action. The landings could not have secured a passage into the Black Sea, we learn, because the terrain of the peninsula was a sequence of endlessly defensible ridges that would have required the whole of the British army to seize. Far from Turkey's collapsing if the Allies had seized the Dardanelles, Turkey could simply have fought on, Mr. Prior says. Istanbul had adequate defenses against naval attack, and it is impossible to imagine the British bombarding a city full of civilians in hopes of encouraging a change of government. And Mr. Prior convincingly argues that the battles of Sari Bair and Suvla Bay did not, as so many historians have claimed, nearly salvage the British effort. In neither case were the objectives of decisive value; even if they had been, the British lacked the reserves with which to exploit success.
What becomes clear, too, is the absurdity of the belief that warring at Gallipoli could affect the ability of the Germans to war in northern France. "Despite the bravery of the troops who fought there, the campaign was fought in vain," Mr. Prior concludes. "It did not shorten the war by a single day, nor in reality did it ever offer that prospect. . . . The downfall of Turkey was of no relevance to the deadly contest being played out of the Western Front."
The battle for the soul of Gallipoli has raged on too long. "Gallipoli: The End of the Myth" is a decisive end to debate. It may not be the very last word, as Mr. Prior himself is involved in a long-term project to discover what the Ottoman archives hold. But it is military history of the highest order.
Corrections & Amplifications:
The book "Gallipoli" by Robin Prior costs $35. A previous version of this article incorrectly stated the price as $45.

Our good friends from the award-winning documentary THE WAY WE GET BY are extending a special USO discount, just in time for the 4th of July. Simply visit the online store and enter code USO 25 to receive 25% off your purchase of the film!
In case you're not yet familiar with TWWGB, here's a brief synopsis: "Beginning as a seemingly idiosyncratic story about troop greeters - a group of senior citizens who gather daily at a small airport to thank American soldiers departing and returning from Iraq, the film quickly turns into a moving, unsettling and compassionate story about aging, loneliness, war and mortality.
When its three subjects aren't at the airport, they wrestle with their own problems: failing health, depression, mounting debt. Joan, a grandmother of eight, has a deep connection to the soldiers she meets. The sanguine Jerry keeps his spirits up even as his personal problems mount. And the veteran Bill, who clearly has trouble taking care of himself, finds himself contemplating his own death. Seeking out the telling detail rather than offering sweeping generalizations, the film carefully builds stories of heartbreak and redemption, reminding us how our culture casts our elders, and too often our soldiers, aside. More important, regardless of your politics, "The Way We Get By" celebrates three unsung heroes who share their love with strangers who need and deserve it."
If you live in the DC area, be sure to meet filmmakers Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly as they discuss the story behind the film and its online companion piece, the Returning Home Project at the AFI Silver Docs Festival. They'll be at the Cafritz Auditorium at 3:30 on Tuesday, June 22nd. Can't make it to DC? Then check out iTunes, where the film also continues to enjoy a run as one of the Top 10 documentary rentals!
We love the story of these Maine troop greeters and know that what they do is replicated in airports all over the world wherever there are Troops leaving or coming back. Let us know what you think of the film, and enjoy a special bonus scene below!
At the end of THE WAY WE GET BY, Joan's granddaughter Amy deploys to Iraq– in January 2008 with her Maine National Guard unit. Watch this bonus scene shot in January 2009 at the Bangor International Airport.

Danielle "Dani" Grace Rowland was born Sept. 2, 2011, at the Frankfort Regional Medical Center in Frankfort. She is the daughter of Kirby Rowland and Jade Cammack.
She weighed 8 pounds, 8.5 ounces and was 20 inches long.
Dani is welcomed into the world by her happy granddparents — Dana Burke of Monterey, Dale Rowland of Lawrenceburg and Johnny and Beverly Cammack of Lawrenceburg.
Staci and Nick Thrasher would like to announce the birth of their daughter, Haleigh Jo. She was born June 21, 2011, at University of Kentucky Medical Center, and she was 6 pounds, 14.7 ounces and 19.5 inches long.
We had a heavy frost Sunday morning. It was 31 degrees when I got up. It always frosts first at my house. I live in a valley. I did bring in the plants I had outside and saved them. The leaves on the sycamore tree are falling in bunches.
They started on Joel's new building at Earthtools last week. Some of the framing of the sides are in place. If they have good weather this week, it should be under roof by Friday. They work pretty fast once they get started.
Owen countians have always experienced new beginnings. The first settlers traveled to the area by way of the Cumberland Gap, literally hacking their way through the dense forests. Some were killed by Indians, others suffered from starvation, cold and disease. Yet their desire for a new beginning and a better life strengthened their resolve.
The melodies of a riverboat calliope drifted through downtown Owenton Sunday as dozens showed up to take their first look at the Kentucky River Room at the Owen County Historical Society Museum.
The calliope was once housed in the Cincinnati Museum Center, the vice president of the center, Dr. Tonya Matthews, said.
"The calliope was donated to our center a few years ago from a family where the father had been very interested in steam boats and calliopes," Matthews said. "It was time to find a new home for some of that material and the museum center agreed to look for a home for it."

Bro. Bill's morning message was from Matthew 18:12-14. Which sheep are we? Are we the one gone astray? What distractions have we bought into that pulled us away from Christ. Are we one of the 99? If we are, we need to take account of those gone astray and reach out to them. Are we the lost sheep that does not see a need for Christ? Jesus Christ wants to embrace us. He seeks continually to love us.
Together with their families, Alicia Stigers and Michael Shuler would like to announce their engagement and forthcoming marriage.
Alicia is a 2008 graduate of Owen County High School who currently attends KCTCS majoring in criminal justice and is employed at the Carroll County Detention Center in Carrollton.
Michael is a 2007 graduate from Owen County High School and is currently employed with Dana Manufacturing in Dry Ridge.
The wedding is planned for 5 p.m. Oct. 8, 2011, at Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church in Owenton.
Scott and Tracy Allnutt wish to announce the upcoming marriage of their daughter, Brittany Taylor Allnutt, to James Philip (JP) Cook, son of Phil Cook and Teri Cook.
Brittany is a 2006 graduate of Owen County High School and is employed with Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
JP is employed with Woodford Feed Store in Versailles.
The wedding will take place at 6 p.m. Oct. 15, 2011, at the Owen County Fairgrounds. In case of rain the wedding will be held in the exhibit building. Invitations were sent to out-of-town guests only.

Two experiments are reported which investigated how subject gender and time-of-day influenced the estimation of duration and the perception of task-related mental workload. In the first experiment, 24 subjects performed a filled time-estimation task in a constant blacked-out, noise-reduced environment at 0800h, 1200h, 1600h, and 2000h, respectively. In the second experiment, 12 different subjects performed an unfilled time estimation task in similar conditions at 0900h, 1400h, and 1900h. At the termination of all experimental sessions, participants completed the NASA Task Load Index workload assessment questionnaire as a measure of perceived mental workload. Results indicated that physiological response, reflected in body temperature change, followed an expected pattern of sequential increase with time-of-day. However, estimates of duration and the perception of mental workload showed no significant effects for time-of-day. In each of the experiments there were significant differences in time estimation and mental workload response contingent on the gender of the participant. These results are interpreted in light of the previous positive findings for circadian fluctuation in performance efficiency and the equivocal findings of a gender difference in time estimation. A unifying account of these collective results is given based on gender by time-of-day interactional effects.

Ranking All The American Idol Winners In Terms Of Quality
A regular on the gay gossip board datalounge.com took a stab at ranking the show's bevy of belting prize winners, from 11 to 1. If you don't see some of the best talents on the list, it's because they didn't win on the show!
Here what they wrote:
"11. Lee DeWyze (above). He's cute and can more or less carry a tune, but doesn't seem particularly inspired. Should not have won. Has faded faster than a Bravo reality TV star.
10. Scotty McCreery. He's OK. Barely distinguishable from the two or three who won before him.

The Bottom Line
TicketsSat., Jul. 30, 12:30pm
9. Kris Allen. Really not that bad, although I'm not sure I see an appeal outside suburban coffeehouses. One half-decent Kanye West cover will not carry a career.
8. Ruben Studdard. So unbelievably dull, if he'd been around in the '80s he'd have fallen far behind a much better group of soul crooners (Luther, Peabo, James Ingram, etc.). I do have soft spot for him, though, for having sung 'Superstar'.
7. Fantasia. Can't say I ever 'got' her. I thought Jennifer Hudson and Diana DeGarmo were both much better. And what a nails-on-the-chalkboard voice! Ugh. But I'll give her points for being unique.
6. Jordin Sparks. Can't say I remember too much about her, but she strikes me as someone who should be cranking out anonymous gay disco anthems and not trying to rule Billboard.
5. Taylor Hicks. Often and mercilessly mocked, but I think it's more like he's in the wrong genre. He's a genuine blues guy in a way that few white guys can pull off, but he will never be a pop star.
4. Carrie Underwood. Strong pipes, no doubt, although I wish she didn't look exactly like 50 other country blondes. Great singer, I guess. Zero personality.
3. David Cook. Wildly underrated. Love the smoky voice. Definitely one who I hope can at some point achieve the commercial recognition he deserves.
2. Phillip Phillips. Dumb name, hugely talented. That 'Home' song is good but starting to get irritating.
1. Kelly Clarkson. The first Idol and still far and away the best. A truly stunning talent. I would put her up against anyone (Celine, Mariah, Babs, Whitney, etc.) as the greatest pop singer ever."

There is a web application (php/apache2) which opens a log file somewhere at a start of a request handling and closes it (as far as I know) when the handling is finished. Between log file open and close, entries are of course written.
Let's assume that somewhere in a middle of a request handling (i.e. some log entries were already written and some were not yet written) log rotation using
logrotate is performed and its configuration is like following:
/var/log/some/path/*.log {
rotate 30
create <mode> <owner> <group>
size 10M
If I understand the logrotate man page, the
create directive will cause the current log file (the file which is open by the request handling being in progress) to be renamed/moved and a new, empty log file to be created. If so, then what will happen to not yet written log entries generated by the request handling in progress? Will they be appended to the renamed/moved file or maybe they will be lost? The second question is about the
postrotate and or
prerotate directives. Do I need them in my case? The only thing I can think about to put in them is an apache graceful restart command but do I actually need it?

Cumin Chicken & Avocado Salad
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 10 mins
A pinch of chili gives this a nice kick, perfect in the garden with a few Mexican beers. This has a slightly Mexican flavour, combining warm chicken tossed with cumin and chili powder, kidney beans and creamy avocado. The tomatoes are slightly cooked too, so their juice bursts into the Caesar dressing as you cut into them - delicious.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons chili powder
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 14 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved if large
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 4 gem lettuce, separated into leaves
- 1 ounce cilantro
- 3 Hass avocadoes, peeled and thickly sliced
- 6 tablespoons caesar salad dressing (ready-made dressing is fine)
- 14 ounces red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- Mix the oil and spices in a large bowl, then use the mixture to coat the chicken.
- Pan-fry the chicken (without extra oil) in a large non-stick frying pan for a few mins each side.
- Toss the tomatoes into any spiced oil left in the bowl, then add them to the pan.
- Cover and cook for 5 mins more until the chicken is cooked and the tomatoes are warm and starting to soften.
- Meanwhile, toss the onion, lettuce, cilantro and avocados in the Caesar dressing and pile onto a large platter.
- Top with small handfuls of the beans and scatter with the tomatoes.
- Slice the warm chicken and pile on top.
- Serve with crusty bread or crunchy tortilla chips.

Honda Begins Production Of Business Jet
Honda, which has long aspired to launch off the road and into the skies, is one step closer to that goal. It has started production on its HondaJet. It's a twin jet engine aircraft, being assembled in North Carolina, aimed at the business market. Industry insiders call it the "Honda Civic of the skies."
And our last word in business today comes from another well-known Japanese company. The last word is: Sky High Ambition.
And the company is Honda, which has long aspired to launch off the road and into the skies, and now it's one step one step closer to that goal. The company recently announced that it has started production on its HondaJet.
INSKEEP: It's a twin jet engine aircraft, being assembled in North Carolina, and aimed at the business market. Industry insiders call this the Honda Civic of the skies. But with a reported price tag of four and a half million dollars, it sounds more like a top of the line Acura.
WERTHEIMER: And that is the business news on MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Linda Wertheimer.

Hi Im a first time WP user, and have been with Joomla over 2years now. I must say WP doesn't have as much support help as Joomla...
Busy with 3 WordPress sites, I have been struggling to find a way to work with images - especially inserting an image into a "post" and then following that post reading the full post...I think I cant get around to how WP "deals" with images. Then I have bumped into the SAME problem, uploading a theme (very nice looking) Wisebusiness template from Site5. Everything seems hunky doty untill I tried uploading an image into the testimonials "right-sidebar" widget - and again IT DOESN'T SHOW! I need images of clients logos to be in place of the Testimonials, and have reverted to adding a custom widget to the right sidebar, that wont show either. Seems there should also be a widget allowing for an image to be available on this theme, but it doesn't show. Ive also changed file permissions to 777.
How am I EVER going to create images, or is there a tutorial on THIS speific topic anyone knows of!!!!
Im lost and annoyed

Just announced on the Reds wrap up.
for Charles Manning.
Gabe White for Charlie Manning...wanted to be the first to post
ok...it was a three way tie :)
Erm, why? He's been awful this season.
Well then he will fit in well with this bullpenQuote:

That being said, Claussen would look great out of our pen to start out...Sanchez anyone? :confused: :confused: :confused:
great pickup, he is better than Matthews or Norton
we lost out on rickey stone tonight and kc papers says reds are looking at curtis leskanic. Hummm i would rahter have stone and then curtis imo.
Was White traded for Manning last year?
Every time I saw White pitch this year he got bombed.
Maybe the Yankees want a closer with 27 saves too.
Great pickup?!!!
This guy has an 8.27 ERA in 20.2 IP and has given up 33 H and has a WHIP of 1.92.
Unless Gullett rounds him into last years pitcher, this is anything but a GREAT pickup.
Isn't Manning who we got for White last season?
Matthews: 3.95 ERA
Norton: 4.33 ERA
White: 8.27 ERA
Much better than those two. Yep.
Even though he has not had a great year so far this year. I think this is an improvement for the bullpen. Put in White and get rid of Reith and that would be an improvement.
Reds also receive cash, player to be named later.

Have lots of sex!
Sex can lead to partial or complete relief of head pain in some migraines, say neurologists from Germany's University of Munster.
The study found that more than half of sufferers who had intercourse during a migraine episode experienced an improvement in symptoms.
It is thought sex triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, which can reduce or even eliminate a headache.
Don't buy expensive painkillers
Avoid painkillers that say 'plus' or 'extra', advises Boots pharmacist Angela Chalmers.
"People choose them because they assume they will work faster, but they simply contain added ingredients like caffeine or codeine that might not be suitable for you.
"I only advise people to take Nurofen Plus (ibuprofen and codeine) if they have severe dental, period or back pain – just for the acute phase or until they can get to a doctor or dentist. It is a last resort and should never be taken for more than three days."
And NICE guidelines say you should see your GP if you're taking paracetamol, aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen) for 15 days or more a month.
Sit up straight
Slumping in your chair is the worst thing you can do if your head is pounding, says chartered physiotherapist Sammy Margo.
"When we slump forward in a C-shape, we kink the head upwards, which can stretch the neck and pinch nerves, causing headaches.
"So, sit with your feet flat on the floor and hips and knees straight, looking ahead," she advises.
Avoid ham sandwiches
Ham contains tyramine (a natural substance in preserved foods) and nitrates, which both increase blood flow to the brain, triggering pain.
Tyramine is also found in foods that have been preserved, pickled, smoked, marinated or fermented.
Cheese and chocolate, and certain fruits like pineapple and bananas, are also high in tyramine or food additives.
Snack on nuts and seeds
These are a great source of the mineral magnesium, which is thought to act as a muscle relaxant.
Depleted levels are linked with reduced blood flow to the brain and low blood sugar, which can trigger headaches.
Researchers at the New York Headache Center found that up to 50% of migraine sufferers have low levels of magnesium.
Other good sources of magnesium include fresh green leafy vegetables, tomato puree, wholegrains, beans, peas, potatoes, oats and yeast extract.
Forget air fresheners
Perfumes, aftershaves, strong-smelling soaps, air fresheners and household cleaners contain chemicals that activate nerve cells in our noses, which send signals to the brain.
In some people these nerve signals are strong enough to cause headaches.
Open windows and use chemical-free fresheners instead. "Use a plant spray half-filled with water and two drops of essential oil and spritz around instead," suggests natural health expert Janey Lee Grace.
Don't have a lie-in
Sleeping in for just half an hour can trigger a headache, particularly in coffee addicts.
Because caffeine directly affects the blood vessels in the brain, withdrawal or reduction at weekends – exacerbated by low blood sugar due to a later breakfast – can cause pain, explains Professor Anne MacGregor, specialist in headache and women's health.
If you're a regular coffee drinker, try to ensure you have your caffeine fix at the same time every day.
Be choosy about your Chinese takeaway
MSG is a commonly used flavour enhancer extracted from an amino acid that occurs naturally in wheat gluten, seaweed and other produce.
It's used in many foods, from flavoured crisps to sausages and sauces – but it's particularly associated with Chinese and other Asian dishes.
For people who have a sensitivity to MSG, it can also trigger headaches by dilating blood vessels in the brain, say researchers at the University of Aarhus, Denmark.
Other symptoms of Chinese restaurant syndrome include numbness and tingling, a tightness in the chest and dizziness.
If you think you're sensitive to MSG, check food labels – it is sold as a 'gourmet powder' in Chinese food shops and is listed as E621 on packaged food – and ask whether dishes contain MSG before ordering a meal in a Chinese restaurant.
Follow the 20/20 rule
Dharmesh Patel, chairman of the Eyecare Trust, says: "Staring at a computer screen for too long can leave you suffering with headaches, sore or tired eyes and even blurred vision.
"So, look up from your screen every 20 minutes and focus on something 20ft away for 20 seconds."
Wear your hair down
Fifty out of 93 women experienced a headache from wearing a ponytail, according to research by the National Migraine Centre, London.
Plaits, chignons, tight-fitting hats and Alice bands can all also cause headaches if the hair is pulled back tight, straining the connective tissue in the scalp.
Apparently, it's also a common complaint among male Sikhs, who often complain of what's known as a turban headache.
If you have to tie your hair up for work or exercise, try to avoid the so-called Croydon face-lift effect.
Glug plenty of water
"Simply drinking a big glass of water and waiting 10 minutes or rubbing the temples and neck for five minutes to relieve any tension is often sufficient to banish a headache," says Angela Chalmers.
In a study published in the European Journal of Neurology, headache sufferers were given a placebo or told to drink an additional 1.5 litres of water a day for 12 weeks.
The patients drinking the water dramatically reduced the number of headaches they had been having.

This kitchen island is the king of all kitchen islands. Complete with a sink, four pendants floating above, four bar stools, storage and the prettiest blue hue? It is with no question, the show-stopper of this home renovation by Danielle Campbell Design Inc. And basically a dream for any entertaining-lover. View the full tour captured by Tami McInnis in The Vault!
From Danielle Campbell Design Inc.…What initially started out as a kitchen consultation morphed into a whole home renovation. My clients called me in to discuss their need for a larger entertaining space. They have a family of 5 and often many guests. Their house sits horizontally on the property leaving the interior long and narrow. Great outdoor entertaining space in the summer but nothing inside during the winter.
They wanted to take out the wall between the kitchen and dining room but it still left them with a narrow floor plan. Through the design process we deemed "Version 2.0" a winning floor plan. This plan rotated the kitchen to take the full width of the house (+/-25′) and have a very large island (14′ x 4′) to accommodate extra guests and prep/ cooking surface. This eliminated the walls between original kitchen/ dining and then dining/family (family room located at the front of the house upon entry). We removed a set of doors at the entrance so that your first view in the house was a breathtaking kitchen and open entertainment area.
The client wanted a more traditional interior, but we added some personality with use of colour on the kitchen island, introducing wood tones, soft print and other earthy colours throughout the space.
Highlights of the main level renovation:
– (2) dishwashers
– Thermador appliance package
– Desk area that doubles for TV watching. TV on remote controlled lift that hides TV in upper cabinet when not in use.
– Sub-Zero wine fridge with (2) beverage drawers located in wet bar
– Stain on site solid hardwood throughout (main level and upstairs)
Once my clients were committed to this extensive main level renovation, they decided to take on renovating the upstairs as well. We reconfigured the master bedroom to include a larger bathroom, walk-in closet, sitting area with fireplace and a separate space for sleeping. Then we reworked the existing 4 bedrooms to improve closet space and functionality.
My clients were such lovely people to work with through this whole process. As a professional, it has been one of my favourite projects to date. They trusted the process of working with a Licensed Interior Designer; Information Gathering, Concept Development, Working Drawings/ Permit, Tendering, Construction. Danielle Campbell Design specializes in taking a project from concept to completion. We have a Rolodex of trusted contractors and only work with the best to ensure our client's project is completed with quality. When clients understand and trust our process, their job is done with minor complications and has a beautiful end result.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ State lawmakers agree that Kansas employers shouldn't hire illegal immigrants, but they disagree over how the state should punish violators.
Four bills before a state House committee will be merged into one piece of legislation within about two weeks. On Tuesday, the Federal and State Affairs Committee conducts a second day of hearings on the measures.
The panel Monday heard from supporters and plans Tuesday to hear from opponents who see the bills as anti-Hispanic. Business groups will air their opposition to mandating the use of E-Verify, a federal database that checks whether a person is legally allowed to work and has a valid Social Security number.

A New PCM Audio Disk Pickup Employing a Laser Diode
An improved semiconductor laser pickup for an optical PCM audio disk player is described. In order to raise the servo gain, a reduction in the size and weight of the optical system was tried through the use of a newly designed lens and a revised optical path. A unique simplified two-dimensional servo actuator without any spring for suspension was developed.

It is really cold most of the year, but I like the snow.
Very cold and unpredictable. Shirley's weather machine will be the death of us all.
The sky is perpetually gray, the winter is endless, and the wind literally never stops.
Many people hate it but I grew up not too far so I'm fine with it and even kind of enjoy it. I think it's sunnier here more often than where I grew up.
Gets pretty cold in the winter
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
There's an economics professor at RPI who likes to describe the weather by saying: "The only time it's nice here is the first week in fall and the last week in spring." That's a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. During the school year, it is cold most of the time-from mid-October until at least mid-April, though it tends to vary by the year. An Indian summer in November or a snow squall in mid-May are fairly common.
In the winter, Troy usually averages between four and five and a half feet of snow. It can be spread out over the course of the winter, or it can hit you all at once in a weekend. Bring a varied wardrobe, and be ready for anything. You never know what will happen from day to day, or even from dawn to dusk. For the most part, though, count on cold and rainy.

SEOUL, Sept. 19 (Yonhap) -- North Korea possesses roughly 6,986 trillion won (US$6.4 trillion) worth of untapped mineral resources, a report by a ruling party lawmaker claimed Thursday.
The findings released by Rep. Kim Eul-dong's office and based on data provided by the National Assembly Research Service showed the communist country having some 20 types of economically viable resources.
The total is roughly 22 times greater than the estimated 319 trillion won worth of minerals buried in South Korea, the Saenuri lawmaker said.
Of the noteworthy minerals buried in the North, Kim said the country has the second-largest reserves of magnesite in the world and the third-largest deposits of graphite.
The North's magnesite and graphite reserve is estimated at 4 billion tons and 2 million tons, respectively. The country also has sizable quantities of tungsten and zinc.
The report added that there are currently companies from six countries engaged in the mineral business in the isolationist country that include South Korean, Chinese and Japanese firms.
Of these, the Chinese businesses are the most aggressive with 20 projects underway while South Korea only is engaged in a single project.
"Of the minerals in the North, South Korea is totally reliant on foreign imports in the areas of magnesite and zinc," the lawmaker said. She said that under such circumstances it makes sense for the two sides to work with each other in the mineral business.

From Our Editors
Rain delays and snow-outs are never an issue within Hudson Baseball Center, where instructors lead baseball and softball lessons atop the indoor facility's evergreen turf. Working in individual practice lanes or in group clinics, players focus on improving distinct aspects of their game, including hitting, pitching, and fielding. Regardless of the specialty involved, every lesson places particular emphasis on critical thinking and physical discipline, valuable skills for both playing baseball and wrestling other jury members to settle an impasse. Comprised of former high school, collegiate, and professional athletes, the faculty includes the likes of a Class-A pitcher for the Reds, a high-school All-American with 14 years of coaching experience, and a softball player who spent 13 years with the Hoboken Shockers' traveling team.

Common types of tics involving movements include:
Tics involving vocalizations include:
The symptoms of Tourette Syndrome usually begin in childhood and generally worsen during the teen years. The severity and frequency of tics and even the type of tics can vary over time in a given individual. While the tics are considered involuntary, some people perceive the tics as urges and can learn to suppress their symptoms to a certain extent and for limited periods of time. Many, but not all, people with Tourette Syndrome suffer from other neurological and/or behavioral conditions including:

Fake Adderall Sold on Internet, FDA Warns
Counterfeit Adderall Contains 'Potentially Harmful' Narcotic-Like Drug
By Daniel J. DeNoon
May 30, 2012 -- "Unsafe, ineffective, and potentially harmful" fake Adderall is being sold on the Internet, the FDA warns.
Adderall, from Teva Pharmaceuticals, is used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. True Adderall is a mixture of four amphetamines.
Brand name and generic Adderall are currently in short supply, so consumers may be tempted to buy from unfamiliar online retailers.
The fake pills are labeled as Adderall 30 mg tablets, but do not contain the same ingredients as real Adderall. Instead they contain tramadol, a narcotic-like pain reliever, and acetaminophen.
The counterfeit Adderall tablets are round, white, and have no markings on them. Real Adderall tablets are round, orange/peach in color, and scored with a "dp" on one side and "30" on the other.
The fake Adderall comes in a blister pack. Real Adderall 30 mg tablets come in a 100-count bottle.
A close look at the fake Adderall label reveals misspellings:
If you have purchased the counterfeit Adderall, do not take it or give it to your child. Call the FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations at 800-551-3989 or go to http://www.fda.gov/OCI.
The FDA web site carries photos of the counterfeit and real Adderall.
Teva continues to experience supply issues and is releasing all strengths of Adderall as soon as it becomes available.
Makers of generic Adderall, sold as mixed amphetamine salts, also are having trouble making enough product to meet demand. The shortages affect extended-release and immediate-release versions of the drugs.

2007 Mercury Milan Base V6 from North America
A few little quirks; not bad all things considered
Brake light switch replaced at 50721 miles.
New brakes all around at 50721 miles.
Cold weather (under 10 degrees) trips the air bag light, beginning at 53424 miles.
Brake light switch (again) at 53600 miles.
Driver door lock mechanism broke at 57746 miles. You could open the door from the inside, but it wouldn't lock. Dealer replaced under TSB for roughly $120.
Exterior lights no longer flash when the doors are unlocked with the key. I don't care; it's just a curious thing.
The Milan made this awful vibrating noise when you drove over 40 MPH; we took it in and the dealer fixed it under a TSB.
Miscellaneous "popping" in the dashboard when the climate control is adjusted.
Headlight switch module (headlights, dimmer, and trunk controls) is loose and sometimes falls out.
Windshield convexity is odd - I've had three sets of wipers on the Milan and none of them are able to conform to the shape of the window to effectively clean it.
General Comments:
I bought this car on a whim six months ago after my 2011 Focus was totaled and I needed to get another vehicle quickly. My last few vehicles (and my father's, and both my grandfathers') have been a majority of Fords, and they've all been reliable, predictable, and enjoyable. After getting out of the Focus (which I loved every minute of owning), seeing the damage, and knowing I should've been killed, all I wanted was another Ford product.
I picked up the Milan at a reputable Ford dealership in November 2015 with under 51,000 miles. I figured this would be a safe bet - this car saw about 7000 miles a year until I took it. My current commute has me averaging roughly 400 miles a week, the vast majority highway (about 90% highway). The Milan runs much better now that I have it; when I first got it, it chugged along. I think doing so many highway miles cleaned out the engine. I just graduated from college and will be beginning workforce life; I see myself doing at least one move with this car and continuing to use it to commute. I'm incredibly anal about maintenance, so hopefully I can nip issues in the butt before they become catastrophic. I mean, when the lot attendants at my dealership saw my old license plate on my Focus, they knew I wouldn't leave until they washed it.
Overall, I'm content with the Mercury, but I'm going to start with the poor things first (mostly just me nitpicking):
1) Seat comfort. Definitely my biggest complaint with the Milan. Even with lumbar support, my upper back and thighs hurt after about 20 minutes in the seat. If I didn't know any better (and I don't), I wouldn't think these seats were tested; I'm 5'6", 220#, and I'm too skinny for the seat (my body fits entirely in the flat part of the seat back, and I'm a "stocky" 220#). I do like the fabric of the seat; feels like it's a real fabric as opposed to some semi-fabric recycled stuff found in my old '11 Focus and in my dad's '11 Fusion.
2) Interior. I've actually stopped wearing blue jeans when I drive the Milan because I see the blue dye staining the light tan driver's seat. I'm just too cheap to get the seats Scotch-guarded. I wish the Milan had a compass and an outside thermometer. Also, the silver panel surrounding the radio reflects a ton of glare. Since this is the Mercury, I would also have liked more sound insulation. There is little engine noise, but the road and wind noise are very loud. Finally, I wish the gauge cluster had an actual orange low-fuel indicator, not just some words on the dash.
3) Ride. I'll throw in that I like a bumpy ride (I hate that feeling that you're riding on a cloud). The Mercury is smoother than my Focus was on smooth pavement, but the Mercury doesn't go as nicely as the Focus did over speed bumps, gravel, or expansion joints. I wonder if the Milan needs springs?
Now the good:
1) Overall driveability. While the V6 won't win any races with anyone, it will run 75-80 MPH all day without complaining. Acceleration is good enough to keep me content on the highways. It seems like Ford found a good mix between fuel economy and power; on my commute I get between 22 and 24 MPG (okay, I'll admit it, I had more fun on the 22 MPG tanks). I imagine that, while the four-cylinder engine is more efficient, driving it is an absolute dog. The transmission on my Milan is not perfectly smooth, but it does the job. I can pick out the shift points but passengers can't. There seems to be shift points right around 35 MPH and 65 MPH. Although the setup is good, it isn't great; I think my dad's '11 Fusion with the four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission is a better configuration. The Milan feels solid going down the highway, even though it's almost 9 years old.
2) Visibility. It's very easy to see out of this car in all directions. In a previous life, my father owned a '10 Camry and every pillar of that car was a blind spot, no exaggeration. It's also easy for others to see the car; I like the expansive red on the tail end, and I like that the Milan has amber-colored turn signals. From a usability standpoint (I'm an ergonomist by trade), I think every car should have amber turn signals. I also like the projector-beam headlamps, and don't feel the need to upgrade them. That was one of my biggest complaints about my Focus. I was going to upgrade the headlights, but the car was smashed before I ever got the chance.
3) Storage. There is tons of covered storage in the cabin. Sunglasses holder, two trays in the arm rest, and the glove compartment should be more than enough. Each door also has a pocket, as do the backs of each front seat. I like that the cup holders are also covered, and one of the 12V outlets is buried in the console. My Milan is a Job I, so it doesn't have an MP3 hookup. The rear seats collapse easily with the pull of levers in the trunk. I used to have a radio for Civil Air Patrol buried in the center console of the Focus, and that took up all the usable space. I think the console of the Mercury is bigger, but not as deep.
4) Style. People love or hate the styling of the Milan. Found that out real quick. I think the front and sides are handsome, and the interior is relatively tasteful (except for the aluminum-colored accents across the dash - very tacky). I'm not sold on the rear end; I like the expansive red but I'm not sold on the chrome in the tail lamps or the aluminum strip across the bottom (which shows every little fingerprint, even when clean).
Overall, I do like the Milan. I am going to drive this one as long as possible (I'd like to see it go to 200K miles, especially since the vast majority of my commute is easy highway, and my current commute will let me drive just under 30K miles a year). I know Ford put a lot of time, effort, and money into this model line and most of the reviews are good. I will aim to do quarterly updates, providing the mileage, any maintenance notes, or any new thoughts.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
