How to Make It
In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Stir in rice and return to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer until rice has absorbed all liquid, about 20 minutes.
Preheat broiler. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, cumin, coriander, fennel and salt. Place all four lamb chops in a resealable plastic bag and pour wet rub over them. Seal bag and rub chops so that marinade fully covers them. Let them sit for about 5 minutes.
Place lamb chops on a broiler pan or a foilcovered baking sheet. Broil 4 inches from heat for about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove chops from oven and set aside to rest for 7 to 10 minutes. Serve warm with rice.

The Inn of the Violent Orphan
Vientaina Plaza was a different place in the evening; where during the day the pristine white stone was kept clear by the private militia of the Syndicacy, in the evening when business was concluded stalls sprang up around the edges of the plaza selling food, cloth, glass, and spices. The militia still stalked amongst the stalls, ensuring that permits to sell were clearly displayed and that two torches were lit at all times. The torches attracted buyers and deterred thieves and provided light on moonless nights. The spice-sellers often sprinkled pinches of their older spices into their torches to fill the air with exotic scents; Lianna could smell cumin and ginger as she ran down the steps from the library. At the foot of the steps she slowed her pace again, not wanting to attract attention from the militia, and walked briskly past the stalls, noting that the scents changed to something sweeter and heavier -- vanilla, she realised with surprise. Who could afford to burn a spice as rare as vanilla?
Beyond the plaza she headed down a wide street where carpenters had their shops, with picture framers nestled in here and there. About half-way along a side street branched off, mostly filled with houses, but near the end was an inn with rooms for rent and a small stable round the back for horses and the occasional camel. Lianna pushed the door open, choking for a moment of the hot air, aroma of stale beer and the pervasive sweet undertones of roseberry smoke, and went inside.
The Inn of the Violent Orphan was full to the rafters, but Lianna pushed her way through the crowd at the bar to the tables in the back room. All were occupied, most by groups of older men, with lined faces and greying hair and a serious manner that suggested their conversation was about something deep and terrible. Lianna stalked past them to a table where a young man sat by himself, a nearly empty tankard in front of him and a look of misery on his face. She pulled a chair out from the side opposite him and sat down.
"Do I know you?" said the young man, looking up at her.
"You don't want to."
"Well, if you're joining me here you should surely tell me your name."
"Except that I'm not joining you. I'm taking my table back, and you're leaving."
The young man's face twisted into an expression of surprised misery, and he opened his mouth to respond. Lianna leaned in towards him, her face uncomfortably close to his.
"Leave. Find somewhere else to sit if you must, but I'd suggest you leave altogether. I don't want to see you here when I next look up."
"But--" the young man attempted to protest, but his voice cut off abruptly when Lianna kicked his ankle hard under the table. When he still didn't move, she stamped down on his foot, watching the pain cross his face.
"Do what you want," said the young man. "I'm not leaving, and I'll not bother you."
Lianna kicked him again, and seeing that he still made no move to get up growled soundlesslly in her throat. She scanned the room, but all the other tables had more people sat at them and would be difficult to clear. She stared back at her unwelcome table-mate.
"See that you don't," she said. Ignoring him now, she carefully extracted To the Victor the Spoils from her shirt, checking the title before she revealed it by placing it on the table. She'd intended to study the map first, but that wasn't possible with prying eyes.
"Drink, miss?" A grubby urchin of a boy, the innkeeper's son, stood timidly at the edge of the table, just out of punching range. Lianna sneered at him, and felt around in her purse for a coin.
"Do you have any of the red beer left? I'll have that." The urchin nodded vigorously and ran off with the coin. Lianna opened her book and started to read.
"Seems like he knows you," said the young man across the table quietly. "He stood just out of reach."
Lianna closed the book carefully, and tucked it back into her shirt, then placed both hands on the table, half-stood, leaning over her table-mate.
"Who, by Machiabus's belt, do you think you are?" she spat.

SEO Companies and Positive Feedback Still Best for Rankings
SEO companies that help businesses obtain higher search engine rankings are preferable to the distasteful method of attracting negative publicity deliberately, expert says.
A New York Times article depicted the problems a woman faced when she came across an unscrupulous business owner in a quest to order eyeglasses via the Internet. The business owner said he welcomed negative publicity because it helped with rankings.
While many SEO companies (http://www.mastergoogle.com/)

" … the last few days we developed an algorithmic solution (that) detects the merchant from the … article along with hundreds of other merchants that … provide an extremely poor user experience,"
There are sites available for consumer reviews, and savvy consumers will research prior to entrusting websites with credit card information. As for the future of companies that want bad publicity postings for higher rankings, Husayni says their standing on the Web is shaky.
"People have profited by 'tricking' or 'spamming' Google in the past," Husayni says. "However, history shows that those businesses did not survive Google's algorithm updates. The best approach is the high road. This case is an example of why people should do business ethically." A better way to boost rankings, is for businesses to hire reputable search engine optimization firms who use "white-hat"

Mayhem # 2734605
About MeIt took viewing the photos from my first professional photo shoot, at the age of 50, to see that I could be comfortable in front of a camera and what men see in me, inspired by a talented photographer, my sexuality overcomes me. When its right, I wear it like a second skin and express it easily. Look through the photos in my port. Read what those who view my photos have to say. Then inspire me, fire my creativity, instill confidence by creating the perfect environment and I will burn a hole in your lens.
I'm here on MM looking for photographers who have vision and great ideas of how to capture my sexuality. Only the uninspired believe that sexuality is only conveyed with nudity. I have no problem shooting nude, erotic nude, and artistic nude. But anything beyond implied nude comes at a price. Tell me what you have in mind and we'll discuss the rate.
But please be creative. Bring me concepts that are smart, compelling even edgy. Since opening this port I have been approached by so many MM'rs who are really just consumers of porn and have nothing more to offer than to try to copy what they've been looking at for years. I don't shoot porn or explicit adult content. I find it to be mundane, vulgar, and thoroughly uninteresting.

Getting around Thailand
Getting around Thailand
There are many ways to get around Thailand. Although most travelers choose to fly between the major tourist centers of Bangkok, the North and South, there's something to be said for the alternatives. There are still some special and out of the way places you can't get close to by plane, not to mention that most tourist cities have been turned into something which is not quite Thailand. To see the "real" Thailand you need to get outside the major tourist areas. The multiplicity of travel options within the country is one of the country's pleasures: Planes, Trains, Air-Conditioned Buses, Motorbike Taxis, Long-tail Boats, Ferries and Water Taxis, Tuk-Tuks (the national mode of transport for Thais) and Taxis Cabs.
In Bangkok, means of public transport are the Express Boat Service, the Skytrain, and the Metro. Another good way to travel is by water. Fresh air and different types of boat makes travel wonderful, especially in sunny days. There is a number of car rental companies operating in major tourist destinations, but renting a car would not be a good idea. It is important to be sure the driver knows where you're going, some drivers do not speak English and additionally you must also agree cost before boarding.
Here's your overview and links to the major transportation methods for inter-city travel. For information on getting around specific destinations, see my city guides.
By Air
The extensive network of airports and its regular domestic flights make the major visitor attractions very accessible to tourists. Although there are still some particular places you can't get close to by plane.
By Train
Travel by train is surely a pleasant way to travel around the country; Thailand takes pride in a excellent rail system which reaches almost every corner of the Kingdom, the railway system can be used for a number of evoking journeys such as rides to national parks, the route from the capital Bangkok to the South is a popular route for foreign visitors. The only train access to Thailand is from Malaysia.
By Bus
Thailand has a well organized network of inter-city buses that connects all parts of the country. Buses are a good mode to access all provinces in Thailand, running both to and from Bangkok and between each other. There are comfortable buses providing service to every province and all the major towns, the cost generally is inexpensive. As an advice you should be sure to watch the bags unloaded at intermediate stops. The bus company BKS (known most commonly as the Transport Company) is the best option for both price and comfort, this company has a terminal in every town of the country. You can buy tickets at every bus terminal, in major hotels or contacting any local travel agent.
By Water
Thailand has, depending of the season, up to 1, 6000 km of navigable inland waterway. Travel to Thailand by sea is possible from Malaysia; there are also ferry crossings from China, Laos and Cambodia.
By Road
The Kingdom of Thailand has a reasonably good road network of well-maintained highways and roads between all important areas. There is 52,000 km of national and provincial roads, all major roads are paved. Thailand uses the left-hand system. Road signage's usually are in Thai and English. The maximum speed limit in urban places is 60km/h (35mp/h) and varies between 100-120 km/h (60-72 mp/h) on highways and country roads. There are a four-nation ring road through Thailand, Laos, China and Myanmar.
Car Rental
There are numerous international and local car rental companies. Larger companies have offices in Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, Hua Hin and Hat Yai and other main towns and cities.
Rent a car isn't the most popular option for travel in Thailand, however is safer than renting a motorbike. You will need an international driver license. There are also a larger number of mini-vans available for those traveling in groups.

Engine Repair: What's an Engine Rebuild?
If you begin to suspect that your vehicle requires an engine repair or a complete engine rebuild, you will want to make sure you have it examined by a well-qualified, reputable, certified mechanic. Of course, not all vehicles will need such extensive auto repairs. However, if you even suspect that this is what your vehicle requires; don't panic.
The typical symptoms that engine repair work or an engine rebuild may be required include some of the following:
- Excessive smoke from the exhaust system
- Excessive oil consumption
- Coolant mixed with oil
- Low compression
- Overheating of the engine
Although not every single one of these symptoms alone indicates the need for a complete engine rebuild, if your vehicle begins to show any sign of these problems, it is definitely time to get a thorough inspection and diagnosis from an ASE-certified mechanic.
With the proper preventive vehicle maintenance and automotive repair Blaine, MN diagnosis, the work required for your engine repair will, hopefully, be minimal. However, if more extensive work is required, here are some definitions that may be helpful for you to know:
Rebuilt: A reconditioned engine that has been cleaned, inspected, and severely worn or broken parts have been replaced. Serviceable parts are reused that are still within the manufacturer's acceptable wear limits.
Remanufactured: An engine that has been made as close to new as ossible. All core material is closely inspected and checked against original equipment specifications for tolerances. Wearable parts are automatically replaced with parts that are new and made in the same production process as the original equipment. Manufacturer specifications and original production standards are used in testing performance.
Used: An engine that has been simply removed from one vehicle and placed in another one with very little, if any, reconditioning being performed.
Be sure to ask your auto mechanic questions to make sure you understand exactly what you are getting before you authorize repairs.

Spock eyebrow doesn't seem to be corrected 2 x later. What's causing this to happen?
I had botox application to my forehead 6 weeks ago but not my frown line. I developed a terrifying spock eyebrow effect. I've been back to my botox doctor 2x now and it still hasn't been corrected - in fact it appears worse? The outer eyebrows seem to go higher though it seemed she applied botox around there. I'm worried if I go back a 3rd time I may risk eyebrow droop. Is my problem stemming from avoiding the application of botox to my frown muscles in the front? Or is this doctor just no good?

Spock eyebrow doesn't seem to be corrected 2 x later. What's causing this to happen
Thank you for your question. A photo would be helpful. Difficult to answer question without a photo and examination. It seems that all you need is a touch up forehead injector. You may want to consider an injection into the glabella injection, which will lift the medial eyebrow, which can help smooth out the "spock eyebrow". Discuss your concerns with your injector. Best Wishes.
Seek second opinion
This can be corrected but you may want to seek a second opinion in doing so if your current injector is not able to correct this.

Spock Eyebrow
Thank you for your question. It is typical to have a "touch up" or some "fine tuning" after your initial Botox injection. The "spock" appearance should be able to be corrected. I recommend seeking another opinion and consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon.

"Spock" Eyebrow After Botox
The forehead muscle is a large muscle that covers most of the forehead. It has fibers on the lower part of the forehead by the outer part of the eyebrows that did not take the medication or were not injected. They became overactive and are pulling the eyebrow up. It is common to have a minor touch-up a week or two after an initial injection to "fine tune" the area. Usually a carefully placed injection into this area will fix the issue by relaxing these muscle fibers.
Botox Spock Brow
I suggest you seek a second opinion and go to an expert in botox injections who can try to help balance this out with appropriately placed injections or fillers. Best, Dr. Emer.
Botox optimization
Difficult question to answer without photos or examining you. Sometimes it can take more than once to optimize Botox results but it should not take 3 times. Sometimes underlying eyelid ptosis can cause the brow to raise as compensation which complicates the problem. See an oculoplastic specialist.
Web reference: http://tabanmd.com/botox-photos/
Stubborn spock eyebrow after Botox
A spock eyebrow is when the tail end of the brow raises up excessively. It happens when the forehead muscles over the tail end of the brow lift excessively in comparison to surrounding muscles. It usually happens when the muscles that cause crows feet are treated and the edges of the forehead are not. However, it can also happen if the central forehead is treated, but the sides are not. This sounds like your situation. Your spock eyebrow is not stemming from the fact that you did not treat your frown.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was working for this company for a year and a half and they fired me saying it was because of my background but they did a full background check out and said it came back good. I didn't get into any trouble prior or after the application.
In Florida you are generally an at-will employee. This means that an employer can terminate you for virtually any reason other thean discrimination, retaliation for filing a worker compensation claim, retaliation for filing a Family & Medical Act Leave claim, and a few other reasons. Even if the company did a background check, if they want to terminate you they do not need cause. You would have no rights unless you were discriminated against or had a claim under one of the other acts or reasons available in Florida.Ask a similar question
I guess it depends on what they mean by background. If they fired you because of your race, age, sex, disability, national origin, association with a person with a disability, whistleblowing, testimony under subpoena, worker's comp claim, or other protected status, you may have a remedy. Otherwise, in Florida they can fire you for any reason or no reason at all.
If it is because of an expunged crime, then I would want to know how they got the information. While it's not illegal for them to fire you for an expunged crime, it is illegal for them to obtain expunged records.Ask a similar question

This guest post is by Freeman Michaels, www.servicetoself.com
Childhood obesity is a hot political topic these days – and that scares me. I just keep thinking about the last hot political crisis related to kids, the education crisis. Remembering the "No Child Left Behind" debacle concerns me. A few weeks ago President Obama talked about childhood obesity in his State of The Union Address. Last month, a special government task force came out with new guidelines and recommendations to combat childhood obesity. Finger pointing has already started on both sides of the political isle. I am afraid that we are headed down another slippery political slope that may truly make matters worse. In my opinion politicizing this issue will not do anything to change the trend – it is only when we personalize the issue that the tide will really begin to turn. This is NOT a childhood obesity crisis this is a FAMILY obesity crisis. Even thin parents, with thin children, must begin to look at their choices to determine what is healthy and what is unhealthy in their lives.
As a formerly obese person who works with adults struggling with weight issues, I have come to recognize that patterns of behavior around food are established in childhood. Based on my experience I have outlined five factors for parents to consider that effect eating patterns. I believe that addressing these five factors can help establish healthy habits for life.
Routine: Kids need to know what to expect. Children thrive when parents are consistent. Scheduled meals and snacks help develop patterns that support long term healthy eating habits. When parents are inconsistent about meal times, kids will unconsciously overeat because they are never sure when their next meal will come. Also, it is critical that parents stick to the routine themselves – if you have the unhealthy habit of "grazing" your kids will follow your lead and adopt this unhealthy trait.
Family Meals: The single most prevalent pattern that my overweight adult clients face is using food to cope with anxiety and stress. Calm and nurturing family mealtime is critical to the health and well-being of everyone in the family. Dinner is usually the most traditional family meal – but if you can also eat a relaxed breakfast as a family this can be beneficial. Again, routine and ritual are very important – it is so healthy for kids to know what to expect. Be sure that family meals are not distracted by television, video games, toys or reading material. Keep the conversation positive, and spend this important family time supporting and connecting to one another.
No Diets: If a child is struggling with weight DON'T put them on a diet – do whatever you can not to emphasize the "problem". You must change the eating patterns and behavior of the entire family. This can be very tricky if one of your children is heavy while the other children in the family are thin. Work incrementally to make adjustments and focus on "health" – don't make this about "sacrificing to help the overweight child".
Balance: While I promote healthy eating, parents must be careful not to be too restrictive. Allowing a certain amount of unhealthy food may be very important to your children's health. Kids who feel as if they are being deprived with likely sneak junk food and binge on unhealthy food whenever they are given the chance. Be sure, in moderation, to include some unhealthy foods in your children's diet. Even letting kids overindulge is important for their natural learning process – for example, on Halloween my wife and I let the kids eat as much candy as they want, then allow them one piece a night after the holiday.
Focus on Fun: Whenever an adult client is choosing a physical activity the most important criteria is that it is fun. When an overweight client begrudgingly commits to going to the gym I know that the choice will not be sustainable. When choosing and promoting physical activity for your family the same principle applies – it must be fun. Be aware of the often unconscious pattern of choosing competitive games that end up being "no fun". Many of my overweight clients report associating physical activity with competitive sports where they felt as if they failed. Even if your children are "good" at competitive sports, be sure that they experience regular non-competitive physical activity. Also, I recommend doing active things as a family – such as bike riding, hiking, swimming, or flying kites.
Fulfillment: So many of my adult obese clients use food to cope with stress, anxiety, fear, loneliness, sadness, and grief. They are trying to "fill up" a void in their lives. From my perspective, there is one critical question, the answer to which I believe will lead them out of their negative patterns of behavior with food: What really feeds you? So many of us in this country have gotten distracted by the images of success and beauty that we see projected on the TV screens, billboards, and magazines. We have been taught to try and fill ourselves from outside rather than from inside. The biggest gift that you can give your children (and yourself) is love. Teach your children to love themselves no matter what size they are, no matter how much money they have, regardless of whether they fit in with the "cool crowd". When a child gets love and encouragement, when they feel successful and supported, they will be far less likely to turn to food as a "filler".
In Chinese there are two characters that are used to represent the word "crisis" – by itself the first character stands for "danger" while the second character stands for "opportunity". I believe we have a wonderful opportunity with this obesity crisis to regain our perspective of what really matters. I don't believe that this is simply a health crisis – I believe this is much more than that. This is a family crisis, an emotional crisis and even a spiritual crisis. No political slogan or government program is going to fix what is broken – this is an inside job. When people personalize this issue and really take responsibility for the choices that they are making, we will see this trend begin to change.

Travel Blogs from Nai Yang
Ok so really day 2 as my first day was traveling But written the next day Anyway had a good nights sleep in Phuket ...was a bit concerned about my luggage as Sydney said to collect in Bangkok and when I got there they said no to collect it in Phuket All good ...so woke to a gentle morning light warmth ...no humidity ... I like it ...shower ..relax and wait for my pick up ....so the driver takes me to the marina but no one shows to take me to the boat ....relax ...
Our first beach day
It's in fact Thursday today as I didn't have time to catch up on the blog yesterday. We had such a great day yesterday. So we woke up at around 11ish, absolutely sweltering seeing as there was no air con, and only a small fan. So of course Jonny was a bit ratty, but so was I to be fair. We got our stuff together quickly, and made a quick decision to go to Nai Yang beach, 5 minutes away from our B and B. We left our backpacks at the place, and the man gave us a lift ...
A little relaxing at the Beach
... 5 hour investment especially since we didn't have anything else planned. Dessa is still aggravated.
Yesterday we spent the day at Patong's main public beach. It is also crowded and here there was a steady stream of vendors pushing tattoos, sarongs, selfie poles, ... but they were generally polite so not that intrusive. We paid 200 baht (~$6) for 2 mats and an umbrella and the best part was that the beach was ...
Lots more cars, trucks, boats and ferries.
... passed around "barf" bags... thank goodness no one had to use them, but the cabin sure got very quiet. Sonia was lying down across the seats the whole time...I had to sit up or would have gotten sea sick.
We arrived in Phi Phi safe and sound. The place we had reserved gave away our room, so we negotiated with the hustlers and found a place that's actually in a much better location than the one we ...
Phuket and The Phi Phi Islands

If you're a lower ranked team you can't possible expect to win without explaining how you're going to do it, right?
Initial thoughts:
- Both teams are very weak for top-6 centers so both are fortunate to be facing an opponent who can't claim a substantial advantage. Out of 24 top-6 centers, they ranked 14th, 16th, 21st and T-23rd. Just 4 of 11 voters thought Malecek and Creighton were top-10 (none top-5), just one had McCourt top-10, and McKechnie was one of just two who didn't get a vote at all.
- Now that I look at it, these teams are relatively anemic on the wings, too. Aside from Tanti (6 votes, 7th in voting), no one seems to have been highly regarded by the voters. Cammalleri had two votes, Sheppard, Eklunc, Fox and Murphy had one apiece. (I think Sheppard deserved more, though... his vote was from me)
- Casey's OK, but I gotta go with Robertson for the goaltending edge thanks to his all-star and hart record.
- On defense, St. John's takes it, I think. Godfrey is, to me, easily the top guy in this series, and the Woolley/Potvin pairing is a mess with no one to clean it.
- Both teams have pretty solid, workmanlike 3rd and 4th lines with a designated fighter on each line. Should be good hockey.
- I just realized Kjell Svensson is listed as an assistant coach too! You can't do that...
Expect a low scoring series.
In 4 games, your winner is St. John's.
3 stars:
Earl Robertson
Tony Tanti

Energy firm npower today became the fourth major UK provider to cut gas prices as it announced a reduction of up to 7% in standard bills.
The move, which will take place on March 26, will see npower's two million residential gas customers pay on average £50 less.
It is also overhauling its discounts for those who pay by monthly direct debit, which will see the 12-month anniversary discount available to electricity customers double to £40, equivalent to 4.8% off their electricity bill.
Npower's cut comes after British Gas, E.ON and Scottish & Southern Energy reduced prices in recent weeks in response to sharply lower wholesale energy costs.
Today's announcement will reduce tariffs by 6.7% on average for npower's single fuel gas customers who pay quarterly on receipt of their bill.
It added that, by taking into account the additional discounts offered for paying monthly by direct debit, the average npower gas bill reduces by 7.8%.
Dual fuel customers will benefit from a 7.1% cut on average, including the changes to the monthly direct debit discounts.
The group has 100,000 out of two million gas customers on monthly direct debit payment plans, which allows households to pay a flat rate every month throughout the year - reviewed every six months to check cost against usage.
Around 350,000 out of 4.2 million electricity customers pay by monthly direct debit.
By regions, the biggest cut for monthly direct debit gas customers is 13% in the East Midlands, with the smallest being a 2% cut in Wales.
For those who pay quarterly on receipt of bill, the price cuts vary from 9% in the East Midlands to 2% in Wales.
Consumer Focus said that, for those who pay by monthly direct debit, npower would be the second cheapest of the "big six" for gas, behind E.ON, but is still the third most expensive for electricity.
The only two of the major providers yet to cut prices in the latest round of reductions are Scottish Power and EDF.

Canon sd900 I seldom use my canon sd900 and I usually take pictures without using the flash. But I recently noticed that my hands should be very very steady, just a slight movement will cause the picture to be blurry or unclear.

And my problem arises when I would request other people to take my picture because 90% don?t have a steady hand thus giving me a blurry picture.
Try a higher ISO speed (suggest 400). Look in your camera's instruction book to find out how to do this. ... Digital Cameras

To the editor:
So, Kentucky Utilities messed up and know wants its customers to pay for its lack of management.
It hired a company to do a job, didn't watch over the people that company hired and for months let that person write down what he wanted without even spot-checking his work.
Now, do you really think we should pay for KU's bad management? Really?
Enough is enough. We do need to stand up because KU has it where we don't have a choice. We only have one electric company in the city, and one electric company in the county.
To the editor:
I read with great interest the article titled "Upset residents lobby for, get public hearing," [in last week's newspaper].
I attended and participated in all planning and zoning meetings regarding Mr. Larry Cann's zoning change request within the vicinity of Harry Wise Road, including the fiscal court meeting which this article featured.
Kentucky, you're strange.
Since I've crossed the state line, Kentucky's fed me a steady diet of weirdness.
Please, take that as the highest of compliments.
I distrust normalcy, though I've spent the better part of two decades striving for it.
Perfectly hand-drawn circles.
A flawless driver's license photo.
Walking and talking at the same time.
I've concluded that these impossible feats must be symptomatic of the insane.
It's time to take a stand, dear readers, against the usurpers in state government who hand down toothless, unconstitutional dictates on how we, as a county, govern ourselves.
For months our city council and fiscal court have bounced around the idea of merged government, with the main impetus being to reign in what are clearly unconstitutional taxing districts that have no direct accountability to the people of Anderson County.
T-Shirts and sweatshirts … it's that kind of weather.
Fall officially arrives this Friday, bringing both the good and the bad.
Those who dislike hot weather, love it. The rest of us, not so much.
Like spring, fall is a roller coaster of weather fronts, bouncing us back and forth between hot and cold, sunny and rainy and breezes and gales. We can be in T-shirts and sandals one day and bundling up the next.
Although the General Election is still 48 days away, we have been receiving numerous questions, so I thought we would get an early start and answer them in this month's column.
Question: When is the General Election and who is running for what?
Answer: Nov. 8 is the date. This year's rlection is for statewide races, which include governor, secretary of state, agriculture commissioner, state auditor, state treasurer and attorney general.
A complete list of candidates can be seen on the Secretary of State's website at www.elect.ky.gov.
To the editor:
I am very offended by the following statement Sports Editor John Herndon made in his column last week in his column titled "Carlson's take on home-schoolers playing public sports just wrong": "The bottom line is clear: If a school is not good enough to educate a child, why is it suddenly good enough for a child to have the privilege of playing a sport?"
I am a product of public school education. At this present time I am a home school educator of my first grade daughter and three other preschool children.
This year Anderson County High School juniors took the ACT test. This is the third year that the scores have been consistently leveling out at 18.3, which is below the national average of 21.1, and the state composite scores of 18.8.
Other counties have scored higher than Anderson. Some of those are Franklin at 19, Spencer at 18.7, and Shelby at 18.7.

Marcel Hakkens
Sixty eight years ago, a Dutch family in Amsterdam risked everything to hide an 18-month-old Jewish girl from the Nazis at the height of World War II. For two and a half years, the Hakkens family hid Elli Szanowski in a cupboard to keep her safe after Nazis killed her father, and her mother fled to Switzerland. Richard and Marcel Hakkens were just little boys when their parents took the child in. After years of searching, the Hakkens found the girl they considered a sister and they were reunited in Wellington.

While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Pontiac vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck. Pontiac automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of reliable service when driving their Solstice around town. Your Pontiac dealership isn't the only place to find the best parts to repair your Solstice. You bought your Solstice because its dependability and an American name agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts?
One of the keys to maintaining an operational engine and full use of your accessories is keeping an eye on your drive belts. Your Pontiac Solstice drive or serpentine belts use the momentum from the crankshaft to turn the pulleys on your accessories. Due to the pressure these belts are operating under, they run the risk of suddenly breaking or wearing down over time; potentially leaving your engine without the use of its power steering, water pump, or more. Pontiac Solstice engines with just one belt that joins all of the accessories to the crank pulley have a serpentine belt, while more than one would all be called drive belts.
Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. Don't let a broken Drive & Serpentine Belt spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality repair parts. Bring your Solstice back to life with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. When it comes to Pontiac Solstice Drive & Serpentine Belt parts, you can find them for 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

What do two former members of Congress (one of whom served time in prison), a former NFL linebacker, and potentially, an embattled former congressman's wife and brother all have in common?
They are all candidates or potential candidates for the seat Illinois Democrat Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned last week, amid a federal probe and health issues. The contest in Illinois's 2nd District is quickly shaping up to be a crowded competition featuring candidates with starkly different resumes.
The list of Democratic candidates who have so far committed to running in the heavily Democratic district on Chicago's South Side includes.
- Former congresswoman Debbie Halvorson, who lost to Jackson in a primary earlier this year.
- Former congressman Mel Reynolds, who resigned in 1995 after being convicted of having sexual relations with an underage worker. Reynolds also went to prison for fraud. He was replaced by Jackson in a special election.
- Former NFL linebacker Napoleon Harris, a recently elected state senator who played high school and college football in Illinois.
- State Sen. Toi Hutchinson, whose state Senate district covers the majority of the 2nd Congressional District.
- Alderman Anthony Beale, who became one of the youngest members to serve in elected capacity on the Chicago City Council in 1999.
- State Sen. Donne Trotter, who ran against Rep. Bobby Rush (D) and then-state senator Barack Obama in a 2000 congressional race.
Jackson's wife, Alderman Sandi Jackson, and his brother, Jonathan Jackson, are also possible candidates.
Gov. Pat Quinn (D) has scheduled the primary for Feb. 26, with the general election to follow on March 19. Because of the district's tilt, the Democratic nominee will be expected to succeed Jackson.
At this point, the race looks wide open. There are several unanswered questions that could tip the race one way or the other. If Jackson's wife or brother were to run, for example, how much would their connection to the embattled former congressman hurt their candidacies?
Another uncertainty is whether Halvorson, who is white, could benefit from a split in the vote among several African-American candidates in the majority black district, a possibility some African-American leaders have already begun to worry about. The 2nd District is home district to President Obama and the 20th century's first black member of Congress.
It all makes for another intriguing special election campaign, which, in the off-year of 2013 will receive a lot of attention.

Searching for Sugar Man wins best documentary
"Searching For Sugar Man' won the Oscar for best documentary.
The film about an American singer in the 1970s named Rodriguez who was unknown in the US but who sold more recordings, without his knowing it, in South Africa than Elvis Presley, was structured like a mystery. The singer Rodriguez did not attend the Oscars because "he didn't want to take any of the credit" for the film for himself, said the producer Simon Chinn.
"That says everything about the man you need to know," said Chinn.

Multimodal and in-situ characterization of inhomogenous materials
MiCi: 01.01.2016 - 31.12.2021
Multimodal and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods are essential in order to characterize materials during their processing, e.g. during thermo-mechanical treatments, and to enable in-situ monitoring of the production process. In this project different NDT methods will be realized in a multimodal test rig. This enables the comparability of different NDT methods. In addition, a new high-resolution X-ray computed tomography system with in-situ stages will be acquired and used for the characterization and validation of NDT methods. Beneath experimental validations, resolution limits of the different NDT methods will be compared to theoretical limits. The experimental and theoretical approach will help to identify the best NDT methods for characterizing certain processes and to locate critical defects within the inspected materials.
K-Project for Non-destructive Testing and Tomography
K-Project ZPT: September 2009 - August 2014
The need for NDT methods is driven by the development/innovation of new products, materials and technologies and by the demand for enhanced quality control and cost reduction in industry. Many countries have already established specialized research centre for NDT. With the K-Project an applications-orientated NDT research centre will be created in Austria concentrating and strengthening research on modern NDT methods and application in the country. The combined expertise on NDT-methods and applications-oriented materials science will build a unique knowledge base with regard to non-destructive evaluation. The main focus will be on the following methods...
ADAM - Advanced Multimodal Data Analysis and Visualization of Composites based on Grating Interferometer Micro-CT Data
ADAM project duration: 01.03.2016 - 28.02.2019
Within recent years, the need for new, cost-effective, function-oriented, highly integrated, and light-weight components has strongly grown in many high-tech industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and construction. The drivers behind this trend are mainly found in the rising application demands regarding efficiency, safety, environment, and comfort. Among desired functional and -mechanical properties, the requirements on new materials and components include high strength, elasticity, durability, energy efficiency, and light weight. Unlike conventional materials such as aluminum, steel, or alloys, fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) – composites made of a polymer matrix reinforced with carbon, glass, or other type of fibers – fulfill these requirements to a high extent. To design new materials and components, detailed investigations and characterizations of FRP materials are vital. In industrial settings, FRP components and materials are nondestructively tested, e.g., by visual inspection, tapping, or ultrasonic inspection. However, conventional methods are increasingly facing their limits regarding accuracy, level-of-detail, and inspection time. To overcome these limitations, industrial 3D X-ray computed tomography (XCT) has received much attention in quality control due to its high spatial resolution and ability to precisely capture external and internal structures in one scan. Compared to other non-destructive testing methods for FRPs, XCT is yet the only method capable of delivering full 3D information for detailed inspection and quality control.
International Network for the Training of Early stage Researchers on Advanced Quality control by Computed Tomography
NanoXCT: October 2013 – September 2017
The non-destructive quality control of a wide variety of high-added value products, produced by innovative manufacturing techniques, remains a challenge. Examples include additive manufacturing parts, micro parts, and fibre reinforced composite parts. Common to these workpieces is the dependency of their performance on internal and inaccessible elements. Nevertheless, customers in multiple sectors are requesting certified quality and reliability.

Pileup kills cab driver, closes interstate 494
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota State Patrol says a driver who ran out of gas triggered a seven-vehicle interstate pileup which killed a cab driver.
The patrol says a tanker truck and six other vehicles crashed Monday during the morning commute on Interstate 494 in the Twin Cities metro.
Authorities say a minivan that ran out of gas came to a stop in the right lane of the interstate. That caused three other vehicles in the right lane to crash. A taxicab swerved into the middle lane, sideswiped a vehicle and then was struck by the truck.
State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske tells the Star Tribune (http://tinyurl.com/99d3ds2 ) there's no reason to run out of fuel because there's a gas station every block or two in Bloomington.
