Enter the Ice Palace
The triple mysteries are many in French author Jean-Christophe Valtats new novel, Aurorama. In North Pole paradise New Venice amid crystalline structures, never-ending expanses of frozen tundra, and brief bouts of sunlight the colonizers and the Inuits play power games. This place is called the pearl of the Arctic, but its also a battleground. The New Venice security forces sense an outbreak of chaos as the Eskimos become unsettled; incendiary pamphlets are printed and passed around in secret; and a violent suffragette movement takes shape under the leadership of a rock star. All the while, a massive, unmarked black zeppelin hangs over the city like a vague, doom-filled threat. Could this be war? The book is Valtats fourth, but his first written in English. Its also the first episode in a trilogy of literary fantasies that delves deep into an imaginary world of arcane rituals, pop culture, political intrigue, antique technology, and the myths of exploration. Enter the ice palace this Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. when Valtat reads from Aurorama at the Alliance Française of Miami.

|COACH coach
"COACH" Meaning called the とは carriage...The coach is a brand born in U.S.A. in 1941, and Myles Khan, Mr. and Mrs. lily yarn Khan are the founders. Because the leather characterizing the coach brand paid attention to taste to come out so that Mr. and Mrs. founder embezzled it including robustness and the fluency that a glove of the baseball had above all, it was used as material of the first bag, and a coach brand was born. Therefore it features the product which made use of a characteristic of the leather itself. Be superior to the durability, functionality and keep a characteristic of the skin of itself alive, and the nature hides which do not use chemicals are made with one one manual labor carefully. I went into the field of fashion mainly on a handmade bag and established the position as a global total fashion brand. I attract fans of the world by the positioning called "the アクセシブル luxury (arriving high-quality article of the hand) brand" and am loved widely in Japan.

The Lies Behind The Idols Photoshop Photoshop is a computer software program that allows the user to digitally alter photographs. What is Photoshop? Photoshop is used by professional photographers, animators, architects, forensics technicians, graphic designers and clothing companies like H&M, American Apparel and Forever 21. Who uses Photoshop? Companies like H&M use Photoshop to make their clothing more appealing by presenting them on the "perfect" or "ideal" model. Why is Photoshop Used by Companies Such as H&M? ` How Not to Use Photoshop H&M is one of the worst offenders for false advertisement. They claim "We do this to show off the clothes" when in reality, they are making it impossible for people to compare. The H&M Photoshop Scandal H&M digitally creates their models from the neck and down from scratch, and then digitally imposes the (also digitally enhanced) head of an H&M model onto that body.

In Japan the word for marriage broker, "Nakodo," is now being widely used to apply to business "brokers" who arrange joint ventures between firms. As detente opens new markets, particularly in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and China (where Western business executives have had little negotiating experience), an international Nakodo, partial to neither party, can expedite agreements which would otherwise be very difficult and very costly to negotiate.

Theatre 'Lend Me a Tenor' at London's Gielgud Theatre. It's hilarious from start to finish. Just what a musical comedy should be. Stunning score and terrific performances. A real shame that it closed so soon because nobody went to see it!
Music I am currently learning "Harmonielehre" by John Adams, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, which I will perform with Andrew Haveron at a concert in Dublin, the Gershwin Piano Concerto, which I will perform with Artur Pizarro, and Vaughan Williams's 2nd Symphony. Plus, I am also preparing the music for the 'Hooray for Hollywood' tour, with the John Wilson Orchestra, next week.
Books 'Weekend Wodehouse' by P G Wodehouse is the most finely crafted prose I know. Had me laughing out loud on the Tube. 'Just My Type' is a fascinating guide to the importance of design and typefaces. Richard Morrison's 'Orchestra: The LSO – a Century of Triumph and Turbulence' is a gripping history of the LSO. I loved this book. I am fascinated by the history of English music making. This book is a triumphant story of the LSO's survival and the mighty figures who have populated the landscape of the orchestra from Elgar onwards.
Films At the moment I watch a lot of films, mainly on DVD as I can take them on the road with me. 'Best in Show' (below) is about a dog show (definitely one of the funniest things I have ever seen), 'Summer Heights High' (violently funny), 'The Complete Tales of the Unexpected' (a nostalgia trip). Next batch includes: 'Hot Fuzz', 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy', 'They Shoot Horses, Don't They?' and the first series of 'Family Guy'.
'That's Entertainment: A Celebration of the MGM Film Musical' is out now on EMI Classics. The John Wilson Orchestra tours from Monday. For information and tickets, www.johnwilsonorchestra.comReuse content

North Riverside illustrator Kathleen Spale grew up with a
brother who is disabled and remembers waiting for him to come home
from the hospital when she was a child. So when a publisher asked
her to illustrate Samson's Tale, a children's book about a boy with
leukemia and his golden retriever Samson, Spale knew she could put
those memories to good use.
"I wanted to use one emotion per page to emphasize specific
events in the story," Spale says of her recent venture. "I
incorporated colors to set the mood and different seasons in each
section of the book. When Daniel is in the hospital and Samson is
at home, it's wintertime and the background colors are very spare.
Later as Daniel gets better and Samson helps support him in his
recovery, you see more greens and golds."
To find the right models, Spale looked locally, using a
co-worker and her son as inspiration for Daniel and his mother, and
a neighbor's golden retriever as Samson.
Samson anchors each image in the book, providing a bright focal
point of both color and emotion. Siblings and friends of a child
with a condition like Daniel's will easily relate to Spale's
expressive pictures of Samson and his concern, love and happiness
as he looks at Daniel.
"I like stories that have meaning," says Spale. "I knew people
could be helped by Samson's Tale, as well as entertained. It's
great that it connects on a deeper level and helps others to see
the world from a slightly different perspective. "
Proceeds from the book are being donated to Flashes of Hope, a
nonprofit organization that changes the way children with cancer
see themselves through the gift of photography and raises money for
pediatric cancer research.
Samson's Tale, written by Carla Mooney and illustrated by Spale,
is available from Story Pie Press and locally at the Magic Tree
Bookstore in Oak Park.

- Publisher's Summary
- Physical phenomena in astrophysics and cosmology involve gravitational collapse in a fundamental way. The final fate of a massive star when it collapses under its own gravity at the end of its life cycle is one of the most important questions in gravitation theory and relativistic astrophysics, and is the foundation of black hole physics. General relativity predicts that continual gravitational collapse gives rise to a space-time singularity. Quantum gravity may take over in such regimes to resolve the classical space-time singularity. This book investigates these issues, and shows how the visible ultra-dense regions arise naturally and generically as an outcome of dynamical gravitational collapse. It will be of interest to graduate students and academic researchers in gravitation physics, fundamental physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. It includes a detailed review of recent research into gravitational collapse, and several examples of collapse models are investigated in detail.

The Taxman cometh
Notices for 2012 taxes started landing in local mailboxes this week, and some county residents are experiencing "sticker shock."
In August, Tunica County advertised a proposed increase of 15.83 mills, from 53.74 mills to 69.57 mills.
County administrator Clifton Johnson said the Board of Supervisors approved and he delivered to the tax assessor an actual millage of 66.49 on county property (except in Robinsonville). In the town of Tunica, the actual rate is 66.24 mills, slightly less than the proposed increase.

Kinvey's crypto extension for the Android library allows you to apply encryption to user credentials, files, and offline sqlite storage, when they are stored on disk. You can use the provided classes to override default behavior, using encryption whenever anything is stored locally.
The implementation uses AES encryption with Cipher-Block Chaining (CBC) and PKCS5Padding. A unique Initialization Vector (IV) is used for each encryption operation, which is stored along with the encrypted data. Secret keys are stored in Android's Keystore. We also apply the Secure-PRNG fixes recommended by Google.
Encryption is only available on devices running Android Ice Cream Sandwich and higher (4.0+). It is also required that the device's Screen Lock feature is enabled, and a pin, password, or pattern is defined. Encryption will only be performed once these conditions are met, and the screen is unlocked.
Encrypting Credentials
The Android client maintains a user's credentials on the device after they have logged in successfully. These credentials are automatically loaded when the client is built, and can be used to authenticate requests made against your backend. A user's password is never stored on the device.
To encrypt and decrypt user credentials, set an
AESCredentialStore on the
Client.Builder you use to create your Kinvey
import com.kinvey.android.secure.AESCredentialStore;
Client myClient = new Client.Builder(getContext()).setCredentialStore(new AESCredentialStore()).build();
Encrypting Files
File encryption and decryption is accomplished by applying a cipher to an
InputStream or an
OutputStream. You can use static methods in the class
Crypto to automatically get the secured streams when reading or writing files to disk, and can pass these encrypted streams to the library's
File methods.
import com.kinvey.android.secure.Crypto;
OutputStream secure = Crypto.encryptOutput(new FileOutputStream(getFileTarget()));
myClient.file().download("myFileID", secure, new DownloadProgressListener(){ … });
Crypto class also provides a helper method for decrypting
Inputstream objects, which can be used on any file that has been previously encrypted with the above method.
import com.kinvey.android.secure.Crypto;
InputStream decrypt = Crypto.decryptInput(new FileInputStream(myEncryptedFie));
Encrypting Offline Storage
The crypto extension uses SqlCipher to secure offline data storage by encrypting the backing SQLite database.
Using the encrypted data store is very similar to the default implementation explained in the Caching and Offline guide, although there are two additional classes provided to replace existing functionality.
When defining your
OfflinePolicy and
OfflineStore, use the
SecureOfflineStore class which will encrypt all data before it is written to the database:
import com.kinvey.android.secure.SecureOfflineStore;

FUEL duty could be frozen if ministers axed handouts for rich pensioners and
cut benefit fraud, an MP has claimed.
Robert Halfon said the move would free £800million — enough to halt the 3p
rise due in January.
Figures show the Government spends £500million a year on winter fuel payments
and free bus passes for rich OAPs.
Cutting benefit fraud by 15 per cent would raise another £300million.
Mr Halfon, the MP for Harlow, said: "Rip-off petrol is a poverty trap because
it hits the poorest Brits the hardest."
The Sun's Keep It Down campaign is calling for a duty freeze.

Your covered appliance is repaired or replaced, up to the benefit amount, when it stops working from age, usage, and normal wear and tear. Plus, there are no service call fees, ever.
Appliance break-downs disrupt your daily life:
When a major appliance stops working from age, usage, and normal wear and tear, arranging and paying for the repair or replacement can be stressful, time-consuming and often expensive. With a repair plan, a covered appliance is repaired or replaced, up to the benefit amount, regardless of the appliance's age or brand.
Exclusions apply. Enter your ZIP Code to see the Terms and Conditions.
‡Average repair and replacement costs reported by industry servicers as of December 2016. No charge for covered repairs up to your
per appliance benefit amount. Exclusions apply. This is an artist rendering and is for illustrative purposes only.
Who is HomeServe?
HomeServe is an independent company, separate from your local utility or community, providing emergency home repair services and protection solutions to homeowners across the U.S.
What am I responsible for?
As a homeowner, you are responsible for the appliances in your home.
Who is eligible for coverage?
An owner of a residential single structure, or a unit within a structure, that is not intended to be moved may be eligible for coverage. This includes single family homes (inclusive of manufactured housing), townhomes and apartments. An owner of a single structure with multiple units is also eligible but the specific unit mailing address for each service agreement purchased must be provided. Recreational vehicles and properties used for commercial purposes are not eligible. You are not eligible if you are aware of any pre-existing conditions, defects or deficiencies with any of your appliances prior to enrollment. Appliances that are shared with any third party, covered by a homeowners', condominium or like association, are also not eligible. In GA, residential properties containing more than two dwelling units are not eligible. In IA, residential properties containing more than four dwelling units are not eligible. If you live in a development community with a condominium, co-op or homeowners association, your appliances may not be an individual homeowner's responsibility, so please check with your association before accepting this coverage.
Does my homeowners insurance cover this?
Most basic homeowners insurance policies do not cover repair or replacement of appliances that fail due to normal wear and tear.
When can I make a service call?
Your plan starts the day your order is processed, and there is an initial 30-day waiting period before you can make a service call, giving you 11 months of coverage during the first year.
What is the term of my service agreement?

I have to say, it does seem a bit unlikly that Higa would have his brain type guarding the hospital late at nigth, then again, i seem to remember something from cannon about that... Still, in the middle of the night though?5/25/2012 #31
I think he was just keeping it canon, she was there in the manga when they rescued her so I think he was just keeping it consistent with the manga.5/25/2012 #32
Something tell me this chapter is the calm before the storm.5/25/2012 #33
|Soup Fish
Something tells me this chapter is the storm before the calm.5/25/2012 #34
|Shioran Toushin
the storm before the calm before the apocalypse?5/25/2012 #35
I'm actually afraid at the thought of what the Apocalypse would compose of in this combined world between Sekeirei and Fate/Stay Night.5/25/2012 #36
I was thinking of a perfect arguement for Homura to use but probably won't, by Shirou risking his own life he risks all of his sekirei's. If Shirou dies than a lot of people he cares about will be 'terminated'. Shirou might not value his own life highly but he holds the life of people close to him especially high.5/25/2012 #37
|Shioran Toushin
OTOH he is distorted and has enough offensive, defensive, long, mid and Close ranged armamanets aviable at tought speed... and Avalon to keep him alive, not to mention the untested last resource of using RB on himself, adn that he is an idiot.5/25/2012 #38
|Soup Fish
what if Chioho was really an eldrech abomination?
Also Gabe, I have to say, I hope you dont go though this whole thing with Chioho unaware of the existence of magic. That would be a cop out. The same goes for Yukari, and his mom to.5/25/2012 #39
|Shioran Toushin
dunno who is Chioho, but he sounds interesting.5/25/2012 #40
|gabriel blessing
Yeah, in Sekirei canon the reason both Higa and Minato ended up going against eachother in the third match was because Minaka was punishing them both by sending them against the Disciplinary Squad. Higa was the chief of a rival company and it was implied that he had been using 22 for Espionage, and Minato had helped Kuno and whats his face to escape.
Also, in regards to why Shirou let 22 live, well, this is actually kind of embarassing. In the manga, 22 was there to keep an eye on Chiho while Uzume was going to assault Izumo House, and I got the impression that Higa tends to use Kochou as a kind of 'overseer' for some of his operations. She was also there when Higa first approached Yukari. As a brain type Higa probably uses Kochou as a sort of middle management for sensitive operations. That was the impression I go anyway, so having her nearby just in case fit in well enough.
As for Shirou not destroying Kochou completely when he had the chance, it was mostly because I have plans for 22 at a later point, and thus couldn't terminate her completely. I tried to give good reasons for Shirou to let her go in the story itself, such as Shirou not wanting to inconvenience the other patients as well as Shirou having to reevaluate his aggressive stance toward the Sekirei plan as a whole. The part where everyone is surprised at him being willing to help was supposed to help illustrate just how much of a bad rep Shirou has kind of developed, even among his own flock. However, now that he has a way to save everyone, he's still dealing with the euphoric 'I don't have to commit genocide afterall!' feeling, and thus was unusually lenient.
Even I have to admit its a bit of a weak point, considering how grimly practical Shirou has been so far, but that's my fault for writing myself in to a corner, so the best I an do is try and write myself back out of it.
Actually, Uzume's grudge against Kochou was thrown in there to be distracting as well. I'm not sure if I'll ever fully flesh that particular bit out, but if I did it will probably end up in an Omake. Wouldn't be that hard. I could definitely see Kochou abusing a position f authority over Uzume, and if Higa wanted to put pressure on her by threatening Chiho, I think he'd be smart enough to have one of his minions do it rather than do it himself.5/25/2012 #41
Yeah, I kinda had a feeling you had something more planned for number 22.
Also, it would be great if you fleshed out just why Uzume hates her so damn much. It seems like it must be something pretty big.5/25/2012 . Edited 5/25/2012 #42
I just assumed that Shirou running Kochou down and cutting her in half, in a hospital, in the middle of the night, would cause more trouble than he would want to deal with.5/25/2012 #43
Worst day ever (was asaulted two fucing times, car broke and just right now I'm taking my breackfast at 7 pm) yet you updated GB, you are my shining beacon of hope for the day thanks5/25/2012 #44
I am still waiting to see Shirou use Rule Breaker and the resulting freakout from the opposition.Also this whole Demon Ashikabi bussiness may very well come to bite him in the ass from the Mages side if whoever has tracked him down believes he actually summons demons.5/25/2012 #45
@GB: Okay, that makes sense for #22 being there. Though I still think there should have been a guard of some sort with #22, 1) to keep her safe like how Kakizaki has bodyguards, and 2) to take down Uzume should she try a smash&grab if she completely loses it. Can a Brain type cave in Chiho's head/chest faster than Uzume's cloth striking her down? My guess is "not likely"...
If you want #22 to live and have someone to pass on the name of 'demon' to Higa... then it might be best to swap out #22 for some other poor Sekirei to get the full blast of the Asura. That Sekirei can be allowed to live, without the importance of #22 making her a valid target. Without that though Shirou could have #22 taken down (not dead, just effectively out of the game in line with his euphoria of 'yay no more genocide'... Level 1-2 injury, perhaps?), then leave a message in #22's blood or something (eg, "leave the North alone lest you want to face the Wrath of the Demon")... Not killing everyone should not give Shirou the idiot ball to let valuable enemy assets go relatively unharmed (granted, a full blast of the Asura on a Sekirei inexperienced with it is probably not 'unharmed', but Shirou wouldn't know for sure if he ended up turning #22 into a wreck and effectively no longer useful to Higa either... no reason for Shirou to go easy on her). Removing #22 from the scene here also removes the need for expanding on the Uzume/#22 grudge.
GB, I understand you like to do your beta-work yourself in order to improve, but may I suggest you find someone to bounce ideas off, like a sounding board of sorts? Having a beta isn't solely about grammar, they might catch possible plot holes too. Even better when you have a good beta that explains to you WHY you made a mistake, rather than just correcting it. I personally find improvement more likely when having a discussion with a beta, instea dof trial & error after chapters and hoping some reviewer will pick up everything. Just my two cents, your writing is still pretty good, not like if you don't have a beta it'll be unreadable or anything.
@Shirou's power boost - more Sekirei bonded equals more power/ability for him? -shrug- That's acceptable I guess, it doesn't break my SoD (not too much anyway, within reasonable limits).5/25/2012 #46
|lhklan The Unpronounceable
I think that no one expected Shirou to come with Uzume to help. Higa thought that if she's going crazy, 3 Sekireis would be enough to take her down. Akitsu and Kazehana already took care of the other two, so only 22 is left.5/25/2012 #47
@gabriel blessing - Are Rin and Saber /ever/ going to show up? Cause quite frankly I am starting to think not.5/25/2012 #48
|Shioran Toushin
they will show at the epilogue, seriously, from the beginign this was Shirou's story and we are past the point where they could hae been part of the developing of the story, if they show will be to bring outside elements or at the very end of it.5/25/2012 #49
We've been through this. GB said that they'd appear in the penultimate arc.
From the way it was written, I just thought that Shiro let 22 go because Uzume was more entitled to killing her, and that doing so then would get Chiho covered in blood soaked cloth. It's a bit OOC for him, but it's still believable.5/25/2012 #50
I wonder what Shirou will do once he learns that the jinki can also bring back all downed Sekirei. That's pretty much the only thing by this point that may force him to cancel his plan, as we can expect Musubi at the very least to fight to give a new chance at love to them.
...Or will it take someone on Shirou's side to go down to force him to stay until the end, because fleeing will also have him regret forever not taking the chance to save someone close to him?5/25/2012 #51
Meh. If that's the case, no longer as highly interested in this fic as I was. Will still read, but if not as voraciously. Freely admit what got me hooked in the first place was the fact this was a UBW Good End fic, which are rare.5/25/2012 #52
|Soup Fish
I must reluctantly support Vanathor on this one.5/25/2012 #53
|Shioran Toushin
the curious thing is that said statement was a lot of chapters back...5/25/2012 #54
I know. He's only said it about 5 times. Maybe they don't read the forums as much as we do?5/25/2012 #55
|Shioran Toushin
i could swear it was on an author Note too...
OTOH i'0m having too much fun between the Manly Brotherhood of Justice and the White Empire Vs TSAB formerly Earth Vs TSAB topics to fall into a pit of despair when the next chapter is not posted in a few weeks
BTW TY for HoS, IF and the Forums GB.5/25/2012 #56
Echoing ST's thanks. You got me into the Nasuverse. I'll have you take responsibility.5/25/2012 #57
I could convince you to use your [b]heal3[/b] Ava-thingie on my Chiho, could I?"
"Well, it looks like whatever that stuff was it was strong enough to get you jumping from roof to roof," [b]Matsu[/b] pointed out, landing as she did so
Is that type error? Cuz Matsu is not going with Shirou , isnt she?5/25/2012 #58
|The Weasel King Club
I have to wonder what suplies did Shirou tell Matsu to ge the others to gather? Avalon does not really require prep time to use, and I dont think Shirou would make them go prepare domestic acomidations for Chiho in the middle of the night, so, its both important and unrelated to actualy healing Chiho.... what could it be....
Hmmmm.5/26/2012 #59
|gabriel blessing
The matsu thing was a typo, yeah, but the heal3 was on purpose. That's the way they spelled it on a few of the older final fantasys as well as a couple other rpgs I played. It's another example of Uzume displaying her disturbing gamer knowledge.5/26/2012 #60

Number 43- Dialga
Legendary pokemon. The most powerful, the rarest and the most sought after pokemon in the game. But does being legendary make them amazing. I'm not sure. I tend to ignore legendary pokemon because most are just hyper beasts with little likeability. One legendary however is very cool and powerful without being tedious or just crazy. Dialga.
Gen IV introduced some pretty poor legendaries, including some I don't really count as legendaries. Dialga, however, is cool, powerful-looking and very likeable. There's very little to explain or talk about. You can just see its power and brilliance when it appears in Pokemon Diamond or on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This is one huge beast thats not to be messed with.
Dialga, like most legendaries has a counterpart, in the form of Palkia. Palkia is cool and all, but its a bipedal dragon, we saw one of them six pokemon into Gen I. Dialga is abstract without being silly, powerful without being uber and a beast without being ugly.

nordic wind shawl :: completed
coming into the new year i had an overall plan, but wasn't sure exactly what it is that i'd start knitting first. that decision just kind of happened.
my original idea was to use my homespun with some yarn that i had purchased. once i worked up a sample though, i wasn't happy with the result. i purposely made my handspan a bit rustic, but i didn't like the result for this specific pattern. i was rather disappointed and walked away from the project for a couple days, probably to try and convince myself otherwise. that didn't happen. so, i pulled out some letti lopi from my stash and held it double with the special yarn i had purchased with this specific pattern in mind.
this 'special yarn' that i'm referring to is from sheep that graze the grounds of hammershus on the baltic island of bornholm. now, if you are familiar with some history, you'll remember that princess leonora christina of denmark was imprisoned there with her husband in 1660. she had committed no crime but was imprisoned simply because of her husband's shady dealings. they attempted an escape in 1661 with leonora climbing 70 feet down from her window in the tower but was later apprehended. her story is really quite a remarkable one but leaves me with a very bad taste in my mouth regarding her husband. i've read her memoirs that she wrote while imprisoned a second time in the blue tower(again, because of her husband) and she is incredibly loyal to him. he ended up escaping, collected their children and left the country leaving leonora to fend for herself. she was finally released when she was 63 years old and had been held in the blue tower for over 20 years.
i'm quite happy with this shawl and am loving the burnt orange that i added to it. i haven't been able to put it to use as of yet though simply because our weather here has been more springlike with temperatures in the 60s.
once again, i'm not sure what i'll get into next on my list. a couple of weeks ago i realized that i have not one pullover sweater to be had. plenty of cardigans, but no pullovers. that may have to be remedied rather soon.

Fall harvest season is a busy time for Kentucky farmers and their families. It also is a peak season for agricultural injuries and an especially important time for farm families to pay attention to safety.
Farm vehicles on public roads are annually involved in thousands of injury accidents in the United States, and more than 200 collisions involving farm machinery on public roads occur in Kentucky every year. Thus, people driving farm machinery and those driving vehicles should be especially careful and watchful.
It's pretty easy for most beef producers to understand that the more calves they sell, the more money they are going to make. Gross income and profitability are driven by the reproductive rate. So, reproductive management is an important but sometimes overlooked aspect of beef cow-calf operations.
A high reproductive rate in the herd increases the number of calves and can also increase weights at market. A tight breeding season can lower labor costs and the overall cost of production by increasing feed and other efficiencies.

For more information or to reserve a seat on the bus, please contact the LaRue County Extension Service at 270-358-3401.
As the State Fair has concluded, we have now wrapped up the 4-H Country Ham project for 2016.
We will be holding an auction for the country hams at noon on Saturday of Lincoln Days on the main stage. Minimum bid is $35. Each child who participated in the project has the option to sell one of their hams.
Most of our corn in LaRue County is shelled off of the cob, but we still have several farmers that pick and store ear corn. Here is some helpful information from UK Extension Agricultural Engineer Sam McNeill to keep in mind when harvesting and storing ear corn.
Corn that will be harvested and stored on the ear should be allowed to dry in the field as long as weather is favorable and stalk strength is adequate. During field dry-down, be aware that moisture in the cob is much higher than the kernel for corn above 15%.

Five Fundamental Changes To Fix The Chargers Now
The Chargers sit at 2-5, and to say that Chargers fans are frustrated would be an understatement. It would be one thing if the Chargers were obviously lacking in talent, but that does not seem to be the case. In reality, this team is playing some good defense and Philip Rivers has been playing out of this world. Unfortunately, that hasn't been enough to put the Chargers on the right side of the win column. Seven weeks into the season, how do the Chargers salvage their season?
The usual reaction from many fans is to call for the firing of coach Norv Turner and/or General Manager AJ Smith. Neither would be a horrible call in my book, but those moves realistically are not an option, especially under current ownership and at this point in the season. I hate to say it, but firing AJ isn't going to make anyone better this year, and firing Turner may actually make the best facet of your team (the offense) worse.
Given what the Chargers have to work with, here are changes that can be made that I believe can fix some of the problems facing the Chargers.
1. Go Hurry-Up. The Chargers have lost five games this season by an average of 5.6 points a game. In reality, with the number of boneheaded plays made in those five losses, the scores should not have been that close. If not for the gamesmanship of Rivers, the Chargers would have been blown out in most if not all of those losses. Rivers has proven to be one of the premiere QB's in the game this season, so if no one is willing to step up around him, I'm more than willing to initiate a hurry-up, two-minute style offense and let Rivers run the show. It has worked for many great QB's over the years (Jim Kelly and John Elway were dominant in that style of offense), and Rivers has shown glimpses of that greatness in every game this season.
2. Meet Your 2010 Starting RB, Mike Tolbert. The Chargers have not had a great rushing offense since 2007 (or arguably 2008). This year they have had their moments, but generally speaking this is still not a good rushing team, and rookie Ryan Mathews has been of no help. Tolbert has been a consistent performer when those tough yards are needed, and he has the legs to break a few long runs in the process. To beef up the running game and provide a little balance to the offense, Tolbert should be starting and getting the bulk of the playing time in the backfield. Not only can he make poor run-blocking look good, but he can provide the pass-blocking desperately needed in this offense, which is currently being handled primarily by Darren Sproles. Sproles and Mathews can split the role of change-of-pace running back.
3. Play Dirty. We've heard the rap before- the Chargers are a finesse team...they are not physical enough...they don't have a killer instinct. Their style of play is too predictable, too timid, too easily rattled... This season you can add just plain "dumb" to that reputation. I think it's time to build a new reputation. Rather than making stupid penalties before the snap, or well after the snap, how about playing mean and dirty during the play? Conjure the spirits of Rodney Harrison and Mike Goff, and starting knocking some people around. Defensively, go lay the wood on any player coming over the middle whether he has the ball or not. Offensively, lay-out anyone playing on the line. And if an opposing player lays a hand on Rivers, that's the guy you should be busting up with a double-team on the next play. Stop playing stupid, and start playing mean!
4. Shorten The Leash. The concept of benching a guy who is having a bad game is hardly a novel concept, but the Chargers need to take that concept to the next level. We need to see the coaching staff shorten the leash on these players who seem to perform so poorly at critical moments in each game. It's easy to say that when a Richard Goodman loses a fumble on a stupid play, but what happens when a Tolbert or a Gates loses one? What happens when a lineman misses a key block in pass-protection? I say you bench them, and show the team that no one will stand for these mental lapses any longer.
5. Fire Norv And AJ. OK, I said that's not going to happen, at least not during the regular season. But if all else fails, how can you not fire the people directly responsible for watching this team continue to underperform in some way each season? If the Chargers miss the playoffs with a team that Turner said could be one of the best during his tenure in San Diego, how can you not hold the coach and/or his boss directly responsible for it's failure?
I suspect that there are a few other great ideas for turning this team around. Comment below and share your solutions for this mess...maybe Norv is reading!

Once Ryan Mathews gets his pass-blocking down, I don't see how Tolbert can start over him. It's the only thing keeping him from being an every-down back and keeping our running game predictable. When Mathews is in, opposing teams know we're running b/c he can't pass protect yet. But he will learn.
the chargers need to add a kick returner with some breakaway speed. Darren Sproles seems to have lost that burst. As bad as kick coverage has been, kick returning has not been much better, rarewly getting past the 25. Every other team seems to have someone who has scored a kick runback TD this year.
The Chargers need to handle the ball better. If the ballis on the ground fall on it! Don't just suppose that it is an incomplete pass. Go after the ball you never know hat can happen with the crapy calls made by officials these days. Second, Norv is fine, he is sending in good plays but the Chargers just aren't executing because of sloppy ball handling. How many times have we fumbled in the red zone down within the five yard line? One time is too many! Now firing AJ? That makes sense. He allowed his eggo to get in the way when dealing with great players this year. I can't help but to think that AJ's eggo has lowered the morale of the players. Now let's use all those millions we saved by firing Merriman and sign Jackson to a healthy contract!
Norv and AJ should be history. AJ for his lack of proper leadership in couching and player decisions. Norv for poor game planning and use of his players. I've watched the game of football for more years that AJ or Norv have been alive, and know that an offensive line that blocks for a quarterback, does not always do so well when asked to open a hole for a running back. No offensive hole, not running up the middle, unless you have King Kong with the ball. You have good runners, give them a chance by running to the outside, where they at least have a chance to make a move on someone, and gain some yardage. If you pass-pass-pass, it does not take long to figure how to defend your team. The Colts and Saints are having the same issue right now, as they don't have their run game on track because of injuries, but the Chargers could if they either had an offensive line that could open a hole instead of sealing off a pass rush, or let their runners use their speed and skill, and run outside. That, and train the rookies in the practice field that they are in the NFL, not college, and that the ball is alive even when you go down to the ground when you make a catch, until you are touched down by the defense, or that a missed lateral is a live ball. The 2 bone head plays that cost them last week, that are basic NFL no-no's to occur.
Maybe we can get Singletary after SF fires him... Could you imagine him coaching alongside Rivera??? Turner is a great OC, but not a coach. Never has been... Demote him. Keep him where he is strong...
"A.J. is a hell of a talent evaluator"....
Five years ago, I might have agreed with you. He hasn't had an above average draft in 5 years. only 8 of the last 14 draftees are still with the chargers and only 3 were on the field in the last game. He reaches way too high for average and below average players (Buster Davis, Weddle, Hester, English), Overlooks better players (Polamalu, Clay Mathews), drafts people on a crapshoot that they are undervalued and loses (, Vaughn Martin, Demetryus Byrd, Crompton, Tra Battle, Gartrell Johnson, Kevin Elison), drafts people with a penchant for getting hurt.
He's been anointed a great talent evaluator and the title just stuck. It's not true these days. Now he's just an egomaniac jerk who gets rid of those who are producing, pisses off all those who come in contact with him and demotivates the team.
Fire A.J., make Norv O.C., and hire Cowher or Gruden. That is a recipe for success.

America - Now with more hope and change - Obamacare edition
The Wall Street Journal says BOHICA.
In recent weeks, there have been increasing expressions of concern from surprising quarters about the implementation of ObamaCare. Montana Sen. Max Baucus, a Democrat, called it a "train wreck." A Democratic colleague, West Virginia's Sen. Jay Rockefeller, described the massive Affordable Care Act as "beyond comprehension." Henry Chao, the government's chief technical officer in charge of putting in place the insurance exchanges mandated by the law, was quoted in the Congressional Quarterly as saying "I'm pretty nervous . . . Let's just make sure it's not a third-world experience."These individuals are worried for good reason. The unpopular health-care law's rollout is going to be rough. It will also administer several price (and other) shocks to tens of millions of Americans.Start with people who have individual and small-group health insurance. These policies are most affected by ObamaCare's community-rating regulations, which require insurers to accept everyone but limit or ban them from varying premiums based on age or health. The law also mandates "essential" benefits that are far more generous than those currently offered.According to consultants from Oliver Wyman (who wrote on the issue in the January issue of Contingencies, the magazine of the American Academy of Actuaries), around six million of the 19 million people with individual health policies are going to have to pay more—and this even after accounting for the government subsidies offered under the law. For example, single adults age 21-29 earning 300% to 400% of the federal poverty level will be hit with an increase of 46% even after premium assistance from tax credits.
I hope these people are wrong.
If they are right, we deserve it for electing such incompetents.

KG on his fine: 'I could care less'
|04.03.10 at 12:26 am ET
Kevin Garnett was fined $25,000 by the NBA for his comments about Kevin Durant after the Celtics lost to the Thunder Wednesday. Garnett rather memorably said, "I thought we were playing Michael [Bleeping] Jordan with the way he was getting the whistles."
Durant shot 15 free throws in the game, while the Celtics shot 17 as a team.
Garnett found about the fine before Friday night's game with the Rockets from an unlikely source: Rasheed Wallace. Or maybe it wasn't so unlikely considering how often he has been fined himself.
"To be honest I didn't even know I got fined until Rasheed told me a couple of minutes before we hit the floor," Garnett said. "I could care less."
Celtics struggle with Allen's unexpected absence on the court
|04.03.10 at 12:05 am ET
The Celtics have played without the Big Three this season. Kevin Garnett missed 10 games with a hyperextended knee, Pierce was sidelined for another 10 games with a variety of knee, foot, and thumb ailments, and Ray Allen sat out a night with back spasms.
But it is perhaps more challenging when one of these players is unexpectedly kept off the court. On Friday, the Celtics intended on having Allen for four quarters against the Rockets. Instead, foul trouble allowed him to play just 16 minutes. He picked up two fouls in the first quarter alone and had five going into the fourth. With 2:13 left in regulation and the Celtics up, 104-101, Allen fouled out for the first time all season.
The Celtics missed their sharpshooter in a loss decided by just five points, 119-114, in overtime.
"Ray was in foul trouble the entire game," said Doc Rivers. "That hurt us down the stretch, clearly, because it took away so many options and it took away space."
The outcome could have been different if the Celtics hit free throws, Garnett pointed out. The C's shot just 65 percent from the line (24-for-37) while the Rockets were a consistent 89.3 percent (25-for-28). Allen, the team's best free throw shooter at 90.6 percent on the season, made it to the line just once. Because of foul trouble, he was forced to watch his team struggle from the same place he has had so much success.
"Any time you miss Paul or Ray or anybody who is in our starting five, it's a big blow to us," said Garnett. "Obviously free throws were a big key tonight. If we make or we only miss about four or five of them, we'd win the game by a pretty decent margin. But every game it's going to be something. But any time you lose a big piece of your offense or anyone in your starting lineup, it's a big blow.
"Not having Ray in the game, not just for free throw purposes but for offensive attention, he draws a lot of attention on offense. It gets a lot of guys easy shots and different looks and stuff. And with him not in there was big."
The Celtics will look forward to having Allen, who is averaging 15.9 points per game, back on the court when they face the Cavaliers on Sunday.
Fast Break: Rockets 119, Celtics 114
|04.02.10 at 10:28 pm ET
It started off as a celebratory night for Rajon Rondo and ended in a disappointing overtime loss for the Celtics.
Rondo made Celtics history less than five minutes into the game when he broke Bob Cousy's 50-year-old single season assist record. He dished his 716th dime of the season, an alley-oop to Kevin Garnett, to set the mark. (Earlier in the season, Rondo passed Rick Fox for the franchise mark in single-season steals.)
The Celtics gave up an early 11-point lead to trail the Rockets, 32-30, after the first quarter. The Rockets closed the quarter on a 19-6 run, led by eight points in less than six minutes from Kyle Lowry. Paul Pierce, Kendrick Perkins and Aaron Brooks also scored eight in the quarter. The Celtics outshot the Rockets, 59 to 50 percent, but were outrebounded, 12-7.
The C's trailed in the second quarter before Rondo sparked a comeback. Rondo leapt for a defensive rebound and threw an outlet pass as he lost his balance, which Pierce converted for a lay-in. On the next possession, he set up Perkins for a bucket. The C's took the lead back on a dunk by Tony Allen. The Rockets fought back, though, to go up 57-53 at halftime.
The Celtics were led by Pierce in the third quarter. He scored 13 points off of perfect 4-for-4 shooting from the floor. Chase Budinger responded, however, with 10 for the Rockets. Both teams scored 30 points in the quarter and shot 61.1 percent (11-for-18 FG).
In an unexpected twist, the combination first/second/third unit of Rondo, Tony Allen, Michael Finley, Rasheed Wallace and Shelden Williams opened the fourth quarter on a 15-4 run to overcome a four-point deficit and reclaim the lead. But that would not last the entire 12 minutes. The Rockets slowly chipped away at the lead and tied it up, 109-109, with nine seconds left on an Aaron Brooks 3-pointer. Pierce missed the attempted game-winner as time expired.
In overtime, Tony Allen stepped in for Ray Allen and played with the first unit. The C's jumped out on a 5-0 run but missed four consecutive shots, allowing the Rockets to get back in the game. The Celtics trailed the final 1:22 of overtime and lost their third straight game, 119-114. (Recap.)
Turning point: Down 117-114 with 13.7 seconds left in overtime, Michael Finley pulled up for a game-tying 3-pointer. But Kendrick Perkins was whistled for an offensive foul, giving the Rockets possession and, ultimately, the win.
Player of the game: Aaron Brooks led all scorers with 30 points, but rookie Chase Budinger put on a veteran performance against the Celtics. He shot 6-for-8 from 3-point range (including several clutch shots) and finished the game with 24 points.
– Ray Allen fouled out for the first time this season with 2:13 left in regulation. He fouled out three times last regular season. One of the games was against the Rockets.
– Playing for the first time in a week, Tony Allen propelled the Celtics bench. He posted 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists in 28 minutes. Aside from his stat line, he was reliable while Ray Allen was sidelined with foul trouble.
– Paul Pierce (27 points) scored more than 26 points for the fifth time in nine games.
Doc's 25-point plan for free speech
|04.02.10 at 9:11 pm ET
Doc Rivers is a man on a mission.
He wants every player and coach to be able to freely speak their mind without fear of retribution from Stu Jackson, the NBA's chief officer in charge of behavior.
Jackson levied a fine of $25,000 on Friday to Kevin Garnett for his decision to give Michael Jordan a new middle name when referencing the breaks he thought Kevin Durant was getting from officials on Wednesday night.
Instead of the player paying it, he wants the people responsible to foot the bill.
"The next time that happens, I have a solution. Each one of you guys should pitch in a thousand dollars until we get to [fine total]," Rivers suggested, tongue-in-cheek we think.
The reason there's some truth in what Rivers believes occurred last year when Rivers was docked $25,000 during the playoffs when he was asked during a press conference if he thought Kendrick Perkins was being targeted by officials.
But in all seriousness, Rivers shed some light on how the fines are administered. They are automatically deducted from a player or coach's paycheck.
"If we had to write a check,they'd never get the money," Rivers said, again joking we think.
Rivers also talked before the game about the progress of the second unit and how Nate Robinson, even when he isn't scoring that much like Wednesday night, is still having a positive impact on the reserves.
Halftime: Celtics – Rockets
|04.02.10 at 8:41 pm ET
Rajon Rondo made Celtics history less than five minutes into the game when he broke Bob Cousy's 50-year-old single season assist record. Rondo dished his 716th dime of the season, an alley-oop to Kevin Garnett, to set the mark. (Earlier in the season, Rondo passed Rick Fox for the franchise mark in single-season steals.)
But back to the game. The Celtics gave up an early 11-point lead to trail the Rockets 32-30 after the first quarter. The Rockets closed the quarter on a 19-6 run, led by eight points in less than six minutes from Kyle Lowry. Paul Pierce, Kendrick Perkins, and Aaron Brooks also scored eight in the quarter. The Celtics outshot the Rockets, 59 percent to 50 percent, but were outrebounded, 12-7.
The C's trailed in the second quarter before Rondo sparked a comeback. Rondo leapt for a defensive rebound and threw an outlet pass as he lost his balance, which Pierce connected for a lay-in. On the next possession, he set Perkins up for a bucket. The C's took the lead back on a dunk by Tony Allen. The Rockets fought back, though, and are up 57-53 at halftime.
Brooks leads all players with 17 points. Pierce has 14 for the Celtics. Rondo has a game-high seven assists.
Garnett fined for 'Michael @#$% Jordan' remark
|04.02.10 at 1:51 pm ET
The NBA fined Kevin Garnett $25,000 on Friday for his remark criticizing officials following a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night.
After Kevin Durant made all 15 free throws and the Celtics made just 13-of-17 at the line, Garnett said, "I thought we were playing Michael [expletive] Jordan the way he was getting the whistle. Durant damn near shot more free throws than our whole team for the game."
Stu Jackson, NBA Vice President for Operations, made the announcement.
Preview: Celtics-Rockets
|04.02.10 at 11:05 am ET
When the month of March began the Celtics were coming off a loss to the Nets and looking at 17 games in 31 days and 10 of those 17 at home. This was a chance for them to reassert themselves at TD Garden as well as get some of their pride back after struggling through January and February.
The Celtics went 11-6 in March and 7-3 at home, which are both solid marks, but not particularly noteworthy. They swept the Texas teams, but blew a halftime lead in Utah. They beat the Nuggets, but lost by 21 to the Spurs. They handled sub-500 teams on their schedule, but got crushed by Memphis. And, once again, they couldn't hang with the Cavaliers for 48 minutes.
Have the Celtics improved over the last month? Absolutely. Have they inspired any more confidence that they have a serious postseason run in them? Not really. They are still in fourth place in the East and ninth in point differential. They remain good, maybe even dangerous, but outside the ranks of the top contenders.
