The Bears have lost three out of four games.
They're on their way to losing four of five.
Minnesota leads Chicago early, 14-0. Both touchdowns have been scored by running back Adrian Peterson, who has 74 yards on eight carries.
Peterson opened the game with a 51-yard run on the first play from scrimmage. After the first touchdown, Vikings cornerback Josh Robinson picked off Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and returned it to the Chicago six.

I am an advocate of the "chaos theory" of fitness training. You should always vary your workout routine. Keep it fresh. Challenge yourself without overdoing. Never let the ego get in the way. You may hurt yourself! Focus on good safety, form and body alignment.
Today I will be demonstrating two great moves that can be done at home or your gym. These exercises are a great way to build core strength as well as power and endurance.
Step 1. Start from a standing position and squat down. Use your hands for balance if needed. Keep your feet and knees forward in a close stance.
Step 2. Roll back, tucking your knees in.
Step 3. Roll forward using the strength of your core and lower extremities until you are in a standing position.
Repeat the exercise for 30 seconds or 10 reps. Then go to the Plank Reach exercise below.
• Add weights or a medicine ball to increase intensity of this exercise.
• Add a jump when you return to the standing position or use only one foot when you return to the standing position.
• Different heights can modify this exercise for the beginner or elite athlete.
Step 1. Position your body on the floor in a full plank position. Be sure your core is engaged. Your elbows are at 90 degrees and your hands are clasped together.
Step 2. Maintain core balance while stretching and lengthening one arm at the time to touch the floor with your hand. Keep alternating arms for 10 times each arm.
Repeat the exercise for 10 times each arm. Then go back to the Roll-Up.
• Add small hand weights and touch the floor with the hand weight instead of your hand.
• When you reach with one arm, elevate the opposing leg while maintaining your plank.
How long: Repeat the roll-up for 30 seconds or 10 reps, then go to the plank reach for 10 times each arm. Return to the roll up and repeat the sequence until you work to failure.

Outside Section 28
Emergency Spending Authority
Chapter 29 of the General Laws is hereby amended by adding the following section:-
Section 72. (a) In addition to other emergency powers allowed by law, the governor may declare a state of emergency whenever a catastrophic event, natural disaster, pandemic outbreak, terrorist threat or other occurrence or imminent danger threatens the health, safety or welfare of the people, or the fiscal or economic stability of the commonwealth. In such an emergency, the governor may direct any agency, authority, or political subdivision of the commonwealth to take appropriate action to eliminate the immediate threat or danger and to aid its citizens, including but not limited to temporary re-deployment of personnel, contractors or other resources. Upon notice in writing of the declaration of emergency to the comptroller and the clerks of the senate and the house of representative, there shall be appropriated an amount requested by the governor not to exceed $25,000,000 from the Commonwealth Stabilization Fund, and the comptroller shall transfer that amount into a separate emergency account for the costs incurred under this section.
(b) Agencies, authorities and political subdivisions directed by the governor to act under this section need not comply with procurement and personnel restrictions for obligations incurred in performance of directives under this section for the period of the emergency, but shall consult with the operational services division to use, to the greatest extent possible, existing state contractors and certified small, minority or women-owned businesses, to provide necessary goods or services under this section to obtain the most cost effective prices and quality services available. The comptroller may take whatever actions are necessary to enable obligations and payments under this section, shall advise agencies about the most efficient payment processes, including electronic payment options, and shall direct agencies in the proper accounting for all encumbrances and payments under this section in the state accounting system. Expenditures may be charged to other items of appropriation and to other subsidiaries as directed by the secretary of administration and finance in consultation with the comptroller. Every 60 days after an emergency is declared under this section, and until the governor declares that the emergency has terminated, the governor shall report in writing the specific amounts and purposes of expenditures under this section to the house and senate committees on ways and means.
(c) Any funds remaining in the emergency account at the conclusion of the fiscal year in which the emergency arises shall not revert at the end of the fiscal year, unless the emergency has terminated, but shall remain available for expenditure without further appropriation until the emergency ceases and all payments for all costs incurred under this section, at which time any remaining funds shall be transferred to the Commonwealth Stabilization Fund.
This section authorizes the Governor to expend funds up to $25 million, without further appropriation, in the event of a declared emergency.

Easy Pecan Pie Recipes
Peppermint Bark Pecan Pie Recipe
Last night, we served pecan pie at the end of our Christmas Eve dinner, but it wasn't your usual pecan pie. This one had peppermint bark nested at the bottom of the crust. The idea was to combine all the elements of a holiday assortment in one dessert.
To do so, I melted dark chocolate and added crushed peppermint candy canes, then smeared the pie crust with a thin layer of the peppermint bark. To complete the dessert, we offered eggnog to those who wanted a drink and peppermint ice cream to the others.

Pecan Squares Recipe
Maple syrup is a staple breakfast item in our pantry. We usually use it as is to drizzle over pancakes and waffles, but since we had extra pecans for Thanksgiving, the girls and I prepared pecan squares flavored with our favorite syrup.
The topping is made of a mixture of maple syrup, of course, orange zest, brown sugar and loads of pecans. I usually bake these squares during the Christmas season.

Orange Pecan Pie Recipe
During Thanksgiving, we usually end up so full that we don't eat the desserts until the following day. This year I'm planning on serving miniature pecan pies so everyone can enjoy the dessert on Thanksgiving Day. Pecan pie is my husband Lulu's favorite Thanksgiving treat, and I hope he enjoys this version flavored with orange and date syrup. The key to any pecan pie is to overload the pecan flavor, which is my primary objection to the ones sold in bakeries. The reason is probably that pecans are so expensive.
The citrus flavor comes from the combination of orange concentrate and orange peels. It gives the pie just a hint of tartness to cut through what is admittedly a very sweet dessert. So this Thanksgiving, consider going mini for your desserts. You and your guests will love them!

Maple Pecan Pie Recipe
Maple pecan pie is slight variation on the traditional Thanksgiving dessert. I spread the bottom of the pie shell with speculoos spread, which adds a hint of cinnamon flavor. It's perfect for the season. The inside isn't your average pecan pie filling either. The thick pecan-flavored custard contains maple syrup, Grand Marnier and orange zest to bring all the fall flavors together.
Of all the Thanksgiving desserts I've made, this is the one where there aren't never any leftovers. The slight variations give the dessert of fun twist, but the key to making a great pecan pie still is just to add a generous amount of pecans.

Homemade Pecan Pie with Nutella
We always prefer to make pecan pies from scratch. Pecans are fairly expensive, and I've found that the pies sold at stores really skimp on the namesake nut to cut costs. They tend to be very egg-y, almost like a lemon curd, with only a layer of pecans on the top. This recipe, by contrast, is richer and absolutely loaded with pecans.
Molasses, dark corn syrup and brown sugar combine to form the base of the pie filling. To this, I whisk in eggs and chopped pecans. I also add a touch of anise extract to the filling. The licorice flavor really accentuates the molasses. When it's fully baked, it has a wonderfully dense and gooey texture.
Even the crust is flavored with pecans. To the flour, butter and sugar I added some pecan mill. I first baked just the crust and then smeared it with a thin layer of Nutella. Nutella has hazelnuts in it, but I think it provides a nice flavor contrast to the pecans. And seriously, what does Nutella not go with?
If you make just one homemade pie for Thanksgiving this year, make a pecan pie. It will cost about the same as a store-bought version, but there's no comparison.

Research Interests and Approaches
Understanding of the fundamental molecular mechanisms for vasculogenesis, arteriogenesis and angiogenesis may lead to improved therapeutic strategies for treatment of vascular diseases. The vascular cells that primarily respond to inflammatory stimuli are the vascular endothelial cells (EC). The goal in my lab is to dissect the signaling pathways in EC involved in vascular development, remodeling and disease progression.

Taiwan's national identification card system is a carryover from the system used by the Japanese colonial government, which divided communities into units virtually along military lines. The categorization of each unit would be detailed in the household registration certificate. The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) retained this system because of its effectiveness in maintaining a high level of control over the citizenry, especially in regards to the registration of the "ancestral home." Although the system has been considerably simplified since then, the distinctions, especially between non-Mainlander and Mainlander, continue to exist.
The ID card that every Taiwanese carries was in fact not issued until 1947, the year that also marked the beginning of the White Terror. Since then, the ID card has served the function of a police record sheet, and the law requires that it be carried at all times.
Since it was first issued, the ID card has been reissued on two occasions to bring it into line with social changes and advances in technology, and its appearance has been changed three times. To prevent counterfeiting, the government issued guidelines for the production and issuance of ID cards in 1993, further tightening its control over the population.
Although the government has established safeguards, the requirement that ID cards store fingerprint data presents a new challenge to Taiwan, which, after all, claims that it is a country built on the idea of human rights.
The replacement of the new ID card was slated for July, but because of the handing down of Interpretation No. 599 by the Council of Grand Justices -- on whether fingerprint data violated human rights -- implementation has been postponed.
Given the widespread counterfeiting of IDs, a universal replacement of ID cards is a matter of urgency. As a result, the Cabinet has promised that if the Legislative Yuan insists all citizens (over the age of 14) submit a full set of fingerprints when applying for a card, it would support the legislature's position.
We should also dismiss the supposedly clear relationship between ID replacement and public order, because if we look at the history of the ID card since 1956, we see that it has changed appearance three times. But, on each occasion, criminals have managed to outwit authorities.
Therefore, in our rather inept efforts to make the ID card more effective through the use of technology, we should be wary of introducing a cure that is more vicious than the disease. This is especially the case as the government's management information systems have never been able to keep pace with criminal groups.
Therefore, even if fingerprint data for the ID card helps reduce crime, the government should also make an assessment of other costs, and look into the problem of civic education.
Taiwan is a quasi-capitalist society with a plentiful supply of corruption, fraud and exploitation. But it is virtue, love and compassion that are the characteristics that will make our nation grow. Taiwan and South Korea, who have comprehensive national identification systems, have them simply because they were formerly colonized by Japan. So why are they lagging behind Japan in civic virtue and public order?
No matter how "sacred" we regard the the national ID card, it remains a symbol of Taiwan's status as a colonial culture. Moreover, the bureaucratic culture which recognizes permits and not people, is also at the root of much crime in this country. It is also a way in which government officials can shirk responsibility. Taiwan must escape from under the shadow of an oppressive bureaucratic culture and strengthen the public's moral education. Only in this way can Taiwanese find their own way.

The Doctor and his companions visit Revolutionary France, a period that is "the Doctor's favorite period of Earth history" according to Susan. As I think I have mentioned before, I like these period pieces, as they add variety to series. Although the modern episodes have included more visits to Earth's past, it seems that every occasion ends in an encounter with aliens, as if humans alone were not interesting enough. Alas.
The serial begins with the kind of uneven portrayal of Revolutionary France that characterizes it as a whole. The travelers find themselves mistaken for French monarchists, and are arrested by a group of rustic sans-culottes. So rustic, in fact, that they have difficulty pronouncing the word "guillotine"! Only the Doctor manages to escape, through the clever tactic of being knocked out. As the farmhouse is set ablaze by the revolutionaries, the fate of the Doctor is momentarily uncertain.
Upon being taken to the Bastille, the three companions immediately try to escape, led by Barbara. Although as a history teacher she ought to be the centerpiece of the episode, she fails to accomplish much in aid of the group. In this instance, characteristically, her efforts to mount an escape attempt are foiled when Susan goes into hysterics after seeing some rats. Ah, how far the intrepid traveler in time and space we met in An Unearthly Child has fallen!
Meanwhile, the Doctor comes to and begins to make his way to Paris. There is an amusing interlude in which he is obliged to engage in manual labor, but he quickly escapes and eventually blends in by purchasing a French bureaucrat's outfit using a ring in his possession. Which is very strange, given that the ring was said in earlier episodes to be a futuristic device. (The ring reappears later in subsequent episodes, so maybe he has a drawer full?).
The middle episodes are a bit goofy. There are many times in the first season in which the plot revolves around the travelers becoming separated, in order to prevent them from leaving. This is taken to extremes in Reign of Terror, as every member of the group ends up in prison or in front of a firing squad at one moment or another. Ian, as usual, shows the most pluck, and Susan is the least helpful in escaping. In the process, they become involved with a counter-revolutionary underground, something which seems to phase nobody except Barbara, who delivers an impassioned defense of the French Revolution (you go girl!). The aristocrats say they only know each other by their Christian names, but this leads to an inconsistency as one of the ringleaders is called D'Argançon.
The writers attempt to inculcate some suspense by including that British bugbear, Bonaparte, as the rival to Robespierre. However, the Consulate wasn't established until 1799, well after the death of Robespierre. Napoleon was actually a protégé of Robespierre, and was placed under house arrest after the Thermodorian reaction. Thus, his role in the serial is ahistorical.
In the end, some inspired fast-talking (and snazzy dressing) by the Doctor can't rescue this story from its uneven pacing, non-French-speaking French, and ahistorical history. I ask the jury to find Reign of Terror guilty.
C.U.S. Ratings:
Susan: 4 (gets captured)
Barbara: 4 (gets captured)
Ian: 5 (conveys dying words of British agent, which don't prove of much use, but form a plot point)

County Treasurer[Record group 2]
Agency Function
- Unavailable
- Agency History
- This office was created under the Frame of Government which directed that the Provincial governor appoint a treasurer for each county annually, a function transferred by an Act of November 27, 1700 to the assessors of each county. An Act of 1718 directed that the County Commissioners share in this appointive power; in 1780, with the abolition of the county assessors the Commissioners alone appointed the treasurer. During the period 1776-1789, while the Corporation was in suspension, the County Treasurer also served as the City Treasurer. In 1786 his term was increased to three years; it was returned to one year, still at the Commissioners' appointment, in 1799. At the consolidation of the City and County in 1854 the office of County Treasurer was in effect abolished in Philadelphia, its powers and duties being distributed between the City Treasurer and the newly-created Receiver of Taxes. Under the terms of the Constitution of 1874 the City Treasurer was designated a County officer, although he retained the title of City Treasurer.

The Big 12 Tennis Championships will be held at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center on the Texas A&M University campus for the third time in conference history.
Built for an estimated $4.2 million, the official ribbon cutting ceremony was held on October 23, 1998. A&M also has served as the host for other intercollegiate tennis tournaments from USTA events to the NCAA Regionals. In 2002 and '05, the Mitchell Tennis Center was the site of the NCAA Men's Tennis Championships, and in '09 the facility will host both the men's and women's national events.
The A&M Tennis Center has 12 lighted courts with seating for nearly 3,000 spectators. The candle power of the lights averages 150 feet inside the fences, which is greater than that of USTA Championship status.

There are no products matching the selection.
Crocheting, like knitting, is absolutely great for the creatively inclined. For those that do not know or may be unsure of how it works, it differs slightly from knitting in that only one stitch is active at one time and only a single crochet hook is used rather than two knitting needles. It can also be worked into circular details without any specialist tools, unlike in knitting.
Crocheting is a unique craft that is centuries old. It first became popular in the 19th century due to it being a cheap and simple method of manufacturing lace. However, it has expanded and developed dramatically over the years. In the 20th century there are many new styles and patterns in comparison to the few original crocheting methods. Such variations include broomstick lace, cro-hooking, filet crochet, hairpin lace and Irish or Tunisian crochet. It remains a prized skill to have today, as crocheting can only be produced by hand. To many beginners delight, it is relatively easy to learn!
Nothing makes a house more snug and homely than crocheted adornments. People spend a considerable amount of money in fancy designer stores, buying expensive blankets, cushions and many other variables from the biggest names in interior designing. These products, albeit beautiful, can be somewhat impersonal. It goes without saying that, for all crocheters and crafters alike, there is no greater sense of pride and achievement than in showing off your personal creations! Putting your own unique twist into decorating makes your personality shine through in all that you crochet and adds a wonderful sense of character to your furnishings.
Crochet cushion covers can magnificently transform a couch into a chic and exotic relaxation zone. Spending time with friends and family in a comfy atmosphere with delicate crochet patterns can be extremely soothing for the soul. Cushion covers can either be made in two pieces or as many granny squares sewn together, the choice is yours! Couches can similarly be beautified with crocheted throws made out of glorious combinations of colours.
Crocheting isn't just stylish when it comes to home and lifestyle trends. Recently there has been an outbreak of glorious crocheted dresses, accessories, cardigans and sumptuous shawls hitting top fashion runways all over the world. Feel free to browse our patterns, books and crochet yarns here at Black Sheep Wools and join in with the fashionistas in the crochet community today!

It may be a slight exaggeration to call the San Gregorio General Store on Highway 84, an hour south of San Francisco, the center of the universe. But see if you can find another spot on the planet that is this culturally diverse: bookshelves filled with the likes of Günter Grass, Albert Camus, and Peterson's Guide to Edible Wild Plants; hip waders and cast-iron skillets; superlative Bloody Marys; the world's largest pair of Levi's; a flow of live blues and bluegrass music; and a revolving population of farmers, surfers, ecoactivists, cowboys, Silicon Valley moguls, bikers, moms, and dancing children.
The General Store has long served as Main Street, the wrong side of the tracks, and the outskirts of town to folks cruising down Highway 1 south of Half Moon Bay. Back in 1889 when San Gregorio was a major stop on the stagecoach route from San Francisco to Santa Cruz, the complex included a 10-room hotel that catered to road-weary travelers, a couple of saloons, a Chinese laundry, and a cheese factory. Time, 7-Elevens, and the automobile have rendered all but the store and adjoining post office obsolete. For most visitors, that's more than enough.
Many regulars discovered the store on their way somewhere else: the magnificent nearby state beach, the biker haven of La Honda to the east, or the elephant seal mating grounds of Año Nuevo to the south. How you found the store is inconsequential, says George Cattermole, owner and former Stanford philosophy lecturer. "The idea is that every walk of life should meet here and be on the same footing."

- AskMen.com Editors Pick for Best Nose Hair Trimmer!
With this compact nose, ear and detail trimmer, keeping a well-groomed appearance has never been easier. Its ultra-sharp, dual-edge blades comfortably clip nose and ear hair, detail mustaches and eyebrows, and remove unwanted facial and body hair. Fully immersible, it trims and grooms dry over the sink or wet in the shower. A powerful Vortex Cleaning system makes cleaning the blades as fast as it is simple.
Uniquely curved rotating, hypo-allergenic dual-edge stainless-steel blades trim cleanly from both top and sides. And the nose clipper's precision blade alignment leaves the optimal number of nasal hairs needed to maintain the nose's healthy, natural filtering system.
With Vortex cleaning, simply immerse the trimmer under running water and touch the on switch. As the blades rotate, a rapid stream of water is drawn in and flushed through the trimmer to remove stubble and residue, and ensure pristine blades for the next trim. For stubborn stubble or residue, a cleaning brush is included for quick, on-the-spot maintenance. Wipe dry with a soft towel or cloth.
When you're in a hurry, the ER-GN30 provides a quick dry trim or touch-up over the sink. And because this high-quality personal trimmer is fully immersible in water, it performs just as comfortably and efficiently in the shower.
At home and away, the cordless, compact trimmer provides up to 90 minutes of power with a single AA-size Alkaline battery (not included). The ER-GN30-K nose, ear and hair trimmer comes with a protective cap to safeguard the blades when not in use and while travelling.

I love the damned things but they aren't always easy to find unless you have a good Jewish, German / European bake shop nearby. Fortunately a shop nearby me usually has them. To me poppy seed cakes are more addicting than the other stuff that comes from the same plant.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) Coach Steve Spurrier says No. 3 South Carolina has high goals for this season and several are much bigger than starting 6-0 or dominating Georgia.
The Gamecocks (6-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) moved to their highest ranking in 28 years - and into discussions about SEC and national titles - after their 35-7 victory over the Bulldogs this past Saturday.
South Carolina had one of the more complete performances of Spurrier's eight seasons. None of it, Spurrier reminded people Tuesday, will matter if the Gamecocks don't stay focused on their next challenge, playing at No. 9 LSU on Saturday night.
``We are getting some national attention,'' the coach said. ``That's what we all like, but it can turn south on you if you don't watch it.''
Spurrier knows that too well. South Carolina pulled off a stunning upset of then No. 1 Alabama, 35-21, in October of 2010. A game later, the Gamecocks blew an 18-point halftime lead to lose at Kentucky, 31-28.
Spurrier blames himself and his staff for not coaching very well after halftime.
``Our guys were ready to play, ready to play,'' he said. ``We had them up 28-10 and pooped around the second half.''
It's easy to lose focus when so many people are praising the Gamecocks, which is happening all around South Carolina's campus.
Safety D.J. Swearinger said a teacher asked him to the front of the room so his nearly 200 classmates could applaud him for South Carolina's Georgia win.
That's heady stuff for a team not used to big-time success. But Swearinger said neither his head, nor those of his teammates, will be turned by the attention.
Swearinger told the defensive players at Monday's practice they could not afford to dwell on last week's victory, not with an angry bunch of LSU Tigers ahead.
``We've got a bigger task at hand than Kentucky'' two years ago, Swearinger said.
LSU, the defending SEC champions, hope to rebound from its first loss of the season, 14-6, at No. 4 Florida last Saturday. Tigers coach Les Miles said the players want to quickly put the defeat behind and get back to winning.
``For the first time in a year and a half we are talking about regular-season loss,'' Miles said. ``And it is miserable for us.''
South Carolina has struggled, like many SEC teams, against LSU. The Gamecocks are 1-4-1 against the Tigers since joining the league in 1992, their only victory at Death Valley coming 18 years ago.
Chalk up another challenge, said South Carolina defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles. ``I feel like we've got something to prove on the road,'' he said.
Quarles and Swearinger are among South Carolina's upperclassmen who have kept a steady hand on the team through its rise this season, Spurrier said. The pair are also close friends and former Greenwood High teammates of start LSU defensive lineman Sam Montgomery.
Quarles said the two have talked this week, wishing each other good luck and looking forward to seeing each other in person.
``We've got a brotherly bond,'' Quarles said. ``It's going to be fun.''
Spurrier's sure having a good time, despite his calm, focused talk.
This week, he recalled going 3-0 against LSU while playing quarterback for Florida in the 1960s, joked how fortunate the Gamecocks will be to have star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney for three years before he's NFL eligible - ``At Kentucky (basketball), they get them only one year and they're happy,'' Spurrier said - and even got in a dig at state rival Clemson, which also has nicknamed its football stadium, Death Valley.
``Most of our guys have never been to Death Valley. That is the Death Valley, isn't it? Or is there another one?'' Spurrier cracked. ``There's two of them? That's right, there's two Death Valleys.''
Spurrier said his team's fast offensive start against Georgia - the Gamecocks led 21-0 with less than nine minutes gone in the game - put the Bulldogs on their heels and gave South Carolina's defense the chance to make plays. The Gamecocks' D kept Georgia off the scoreboard until a meaningless touchdown in the game's final two minutes.
``When one team gets hot, scores on the first two or three possessions, you got an excellent defense, it can happen,'' he said. ``But you don't ever plan for it. You plan for a down to the wire game being won in the fourth quarter.''
That's what Spurrier's expecting against LSU. He's working this week to make sure his team's prepared for that, too.
``We're just trying to guard against going south and that we're totally ready to play this week,'' Spurrier said.

2014 ram 1500 Model Overview
Vehicle Overview
Refreshed last year, the Ram 1500 pickup became the 2013 Motor Trend Truck of the Year. While last year's winner is available with two engines, two transmissions, and in rear- or four-wheel-drive, a new turbodiesel option is available for 2014. A 304-hp 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 with 269 lb-ft of torque mated to an eight-speed automatic serves as the Ram 1500's base engine. The 395-hp, 407 lb-ft 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 returns with either a six-speed or eight-speed automatic transmission. A new turbodiesel 240-hp 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 produces 420 lb-ft comes solely with the eight-speed automatic. Rear-drive Ram 1500s with the Pentastar V-6 are EPA-rated 17/25 mpg city/highway, while four-wheel-drive model Pentastars are rated 16/23 mpg. Hemi engines with the six-speed automatic and rear-drive and four-wheel-drive are rated 14/20 mpg and 13/19 mpg, respectively. The eight-speed automatic boosts Hemi fuel economy to 15/22 mpg for rear-drive and 15/21 mpg for four-wheel-drive models. Fuel economy for the EcoDiesel hasn't been rated.
"At the end of our testing, the decision was unanimous," we wrote during 2013 Truck of the Year testing. "Hands down, the Ram ran away with this Truck of the Year award. The V-6 fills the void where the Dakota once existed. The V-8 is as much if not more truck than we expect to find in a 1500. The variety of trim levels offered by Ram can give you everything from a very basic work truck to a near-luxury vehicle with performance and off-road models falling somewhere in between. It ticks all six boxes in judging criteria. With loyalty higher in this segment than just about any other, we do wonder how many truck buyers are willing to switch brands. Until the rest of the industry can catch up with Ram trucks in the half-ton segment, it would be a shame to pass this one up."
Not only is the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 new for 2014, but it's the only turbodiesel engine available in a half-ton pickup. While not yet rated by the EPA, Ram claims the EcoDiesel offers best in class fuel efficiency. A front park assist feature is now available, while a capless fuel filler system. Two new exterior paint colors (Blue Streak and Granite Crystal) are available in a monotone and/or two-tone depending on the model. The 2014 Ram 1500 pickup has a four-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA (out of a possible five stars), but hasn't been evaluated by the IIHS.
New for 2014
The 2014 Ram 1500 is first half-ton pickup with an available turbodiesel engine. All 2014 Ram 1500 models get a capless fuel filler system. Front park assist is available as is two more paint colors: Blue Streak and Granite Crystal.

Lets say that I have Joomla installed at Website and another Joomla at subdomain: www.joomlaproduct,com and demo.joomladroduct.com. Both are created as website. Below I mean in subdomain the address which looks like subdomain just. At domain registrant I have personal name server records like ns1.joomladroduct.com and ns2.joomladroduct.com It's obivious that DNS zone for mail website should be: Code: A demo 18.104.22.168 0 A mail 126.96.36.199 0 A joomlaproduct.com. 22.214.171.124 0 A ns1 188.8.131.52 0 A ns2 126.96.36.199 0 A www 188.8.131.52 0 CNAME ftp.joomlaproduct.com. joomlaproduct.com. 0 MX joomlaproduct.com. mail.joomlaproduct.com. 10 NS joomlaproduct.com. ns1.joomlaproduct.com. 0 NS joomlaproduct.com. ns2.joomlaproduct.com. 0 TXT joomlaproduct.com. v=spf1 +a +mx -all 0 but what should be at Subdomain DNS zone? I guessed the same, but after reading forum I'm confused with next settings as idea Code: A demo.joomlaproduct.com. 188.8.131.52 0 A ns1 22.214.171.124 0 A ns2 126.96.36.199 0 CNAME ftp.demo.joomlaproduct.com. demo.joomlaproduct.com. 0 MX demo.joomlaproduct.com. mail.demo.joomlaproduct.com. 10 NS demo.joomlaproduct.com. ns.demo.joomlaproduct.com. 0 NS ns1 ns1.demo.joomlaproduct.com. 0 NS ns2 ns2.demo.joomlaproduct.com. 0 TXT demo.joomlaproduct.com. v=spf1 +a +mx -all 0 but in fact I don't need MX, TXT records for subdomain, but CNAME ftp must be because there separate FTP user. Though it's not necessary because connection could be established by IP Of cause I mean in subdomain separate website which just looks like subdomain. Please, help me to find the truth. Thanks.

Today I am beginning my third year blogging! When I began during the Winter Games in 2010, I never really thought I would continue as consistently as I have. I have never been a writer even in boarding school where I got grounded on a regular basis for not writing a weekly letter home. Frankly I didn't see the point since I went home almost every weekend. Not much to write about between Sunday evening and Tuesday.
Did I mention that I took English 101 more than once because I did not complete the writing assignments?
Anyway when Thomas MacEntee offered the Winter Games Challenge, I jumped in with both feet. I knew Thomas from facebook which I joined to help the Unclaimed Persons group. Blogging has helped me grow as a person and as a genealogist.
Before I began blogging I was a solitary genealogist. I didn't belong to any groups or go to seminars. Now I belong to the Illinois State Genealogy Society, the Southern California Genealogy Society, and the Schertz Cibolo Valley Area Genealogists, a local group. Through SCVAG I am also a member of FGS. I have attended local seminars, webinars, and the Jamboree twice. I have taken two genealogy cruises with plans for a third.
Currently I am participating in the Family History Writing Challenge by committing to write 250-300 words a day for the month of February. As I proceed with this challenge I can see how what I am doing now can eventually be combined into a family history book.
By joining my local genealogy group I have been able to help others. I learned to create power point demonstrations. I have given several presentations to the group, organized a Family History Workshop that the group held at the Library. I have been a 1940 Census Indexing Ambassador in addition to regularly indexing for both FamilySearch and Ancestry. I created both a website and facebook page for the local genealogy group.
This is a lot about me but it's about others too. Volunteering at the LDS Family Search Center encourages me to use what I have learned to help others with their genealogy efforts and brick walls. I also volunteer at the Genealogy Room of the local library for the same reason. Blogging helps me make contact with others, those with a common background or those from an entirely different lifestyle such as comparing Christmas customs with other bloggers.
Joining Geneabloggers was a big step for me but I have never regretted it. Everyone I have met has been welcoming, encouraging, and helpful, whether I met them at a group meeting, a conference, on a cruise, or on facebook. Thanks to blogging I have become a different person, hopefully a better one.

Please quit raining on my
parade NASCAR races. It was bad enough that I have had a nasty headache all day. All I wanted was a little racing action. (Ok- I lie- really I wanted to see Tony keep digging, race his way to the front of the field and take the checkers to WIN). Instead, I got to watch ESPN beat a dead horse for hours and hours and hours with their interviewing drivers, crew chiefs, going over Paul Menard's spin ad nauseum, going over the safety innovations since the 2001 death of Dale Earnhardt, bringing up the 1979 fight between Bobby Allison and Cale Yarborough during the first full race telecast and how it also changed the sport…you get the picture…we fans had to endure a lot of dead horses. At any moment I expected them to start interviewing the guys in charge of gluing the lugnuts to the tires- and asking THEM about Paul Menard and if they thought his spin was intentional (okay- maybe I exaggerate a wee bit- but not much). And those are only the parts I caught while doing this and that- determined not to let the rain delay ruin my entire day (although it kinda did anyway- since I was really REALLY looking forward to watching the first chase race).
What I am trying to say, Mother Nature, is that trying to "watch" a race at work sucks. Let's make this Monday the last time I have to do this okay?
P.S. It doesn't look like Tony enjoys the rain delay much more than I did:
In all seriousness though- Good Luck TONY tomorrow. I will be watching you best I can as I toil away.

Today's pioneering enterprises are doing more than just talking a good digital game. They are fundamentally changing the way they look at themselves and quickly mastering the shift from "me" to "we."
Proactive corporate leaders see their businesses, employees and customers as a living, breathing digital fabric offering unprecedented opportunity to establish beachheads in new markets, drive profit and change life for the better. Through the transformational power of this network, we're witnessing the birth of a new era of "digital ecosystems."
The Accenture Customer Vision 2015 maps out five key trends: The Internet of Me, Outcome Economy, Platform (R)evolution, Intelligent Enterprise and Workforce Reimagined.
As "every customer is a digital customer," these five business-technology trends have implications for marketing, sales and service, including overlapping impact from technology waves such as mobility, analytics, social, cognitive computation, Internet of Things (IoT), security, cloud, gamification and instant marketing.
One world, personalized.
As everyday objects and experiences become digitized, new frontiers of individualization are created; but sustainable, profitable growth comes from understanding Digital Intensity at scale.
To turn ambitious goals for individualized customer experience into predictable results, companies need to pivot to the new dynamics of the Non-Stop Customer, and leverage customers' Digital Intensity.
Key trends:
One source expects combined online and web-influenced retail sales to reach $1.8 trillion by 2017.
In the mobile device age, consumers are self-empowered:
Fifty-six percent of consumers have used their smartphone to research products at home.
Thirty-eight percent have used their mobile device to check inventory availability while on their way to a store.
Thirty-four percent have used their mobile device to research products while in a store.
Across industries, multi-channel consumers are worth more:
Retailers. Multi-channel customers produce 2.9 times the visits, 3.2 times the sales, and 2.6 times the margin in comparison to store-only customers.
Banks. Multi-channel customers purchase 1.4 times the products and give 15 percent advocacy in comparison to digital-only customers.
Wireless. Multi-channel customers start by using mobile self-service 9 times more than face-to-face customers (for example, in stores).
Despite the increasing use of smartphones to research products (and pricing) in stores, 61 percent of consumers still value asking a sales associate for product recommendations in physical stores.
By 2020, over 35 percent of the population in mature markets will own at least one wearable electronic device (such as a headset).
The new competitive landscape is now… monetizing distinct customer experiences.
Getting ahead in the new economy is about cultivating evergreen customer relationships that deliver superior commercial results. For true disruptors, it's no longer just about selling solutions. It's about delivering measurable results.
The value from sales force analytics is created over time as organizations take insights and change direction at the individual contributor, manager, and organization level to grow high performers in outcome-selling.
Key Trends:
Eighty-seven percent of enterprises see intelligent hardware leading to a shift from selling products or services to selling outcomes.
Forty percent report they are considering using sensors to gather intelligence and equip their workforce with more insights.
Fifty-six percent of consumers use smartphones to research products from home… 34 percent while in stores.
Business customers are 57 percent of the way through their buying process by the first sales call.
Two thirds of customers switched at least one of their providers last year: $6.2 trillion Global Switching Economy.
Two thirds of companies don't have a definition of a qualified lead and 53 percent don't have a formal relationship between sales and service.
Multi-channel consumers are more valuable and produce 2.9 times the visits, 3.2 times the sales, and 2.6 times the margin in comparison to store-only consumers.
High performers are 2 to 3 times more likely to prioritize customer experience investments in up/cross sell and after sales support, driving twice the return on investment.
Defining ecosystems, redefining industries.
Enterprises are carving out new playing fields thanks to rapid advances in cloud and mobility technology. Platform-based ecosystems are the new plane of competition.
Playing to win requires moving from a fragmented experience with customers to a connected, integrated, cumulative interaction building across all stakeholders in the ecosystem.
Key Trends:
Eighty-one percent of enterprises say industry boundaries will dramatically blur as platforms reshape industries into interconnected ecosystems.
Seventy-four percent are using or experimenting with industry platforms to integrate data with digital business partners.
Seventy-five percent say the next generation of platforms will be led by industry players and leaders, not tech leaders.
Cloud solutions have moved beyond cost-saving and agility to being the driver for collaboration and innovation.
Spending on cloud computing infrastructure and platforms is expected to grow at a 30 percent Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2013 to 2018 compared with 5 percent growth for enterprise IT.
In business-to-business (B2B), 67 percent of companies consider customer and partner collaboration solutions as a critical priority.
From the Internet of Things (IoT) to the Internet of Every…Things.
Capitalizing on the Internet of Things isn't for everyone. For those that will disrupt their industries, it's an all-encompassing effort that identifies where they can do things "differently" to win.
As Internet of Every…Things becomes possible with Internet of Things (IoT), companies need to evaluate how IoT will drive optimal value for them. Capturing the greatest impact from IoT will combine the elements of digital disruption, open innovation, and new business launching… all at a significantly faster pace.
Key Trends:
Ongoing improvements in sensor technologies are making intelligent products more accessible. For example, some locomotives are equipped with more than 250 sensors that measure 150,000 data points per minute. One source predicts that by 2020 there will be 50 billion connected devices: an average of 6.6 per person globally.
Manufacturers using new software capabilities to improve operational efficiency through predictive maintenance are achieving savings on scheduled repairs (12 percent), reduced maintenance costs (nearly 30 percent) and fewer breakdowns (almost 70 percent).
Eighty-seven percent of enterprises see intelligent hardware leading to a shift from selling products or services, to selling outcomes.
Forty percent report they are considering using sensors to gather intelligence and equip their workforce with more insights.
Seventy-seven percent are taking part in open innovation initiatives, using APIs and technology platforms to deliver better outcomes.
Collaboration at the intersection of humans and machines.
As the digital revolution gains momentum, humans and machines must do more together. Successful businesses will embrace both as critical team members and "expand" the workforce.
To succeed, companies should understand when "too much digital is too much" to define the intersection of digital and human interaction, anchored on the re-invention of the front-office workforce.
Key Trends:
Fifty-seven percent of companies are adopting technologies that help business users complete tasks that previously required IT experts.
Seventy-eight percent agree that successful businesses will manage employees alongside intelligent machines, ensuring collaboration between the two.
Seventy-seven percent believe that within the next three years, companies will need to focus equally on training their people and their machines.
Companies cite that collaboration technologies have been 80 percent effective at improving productivity.
It is estimated that digital/cyber assistants and self-service could potentially answer 80 percent of standard requests and be the number one point of contact across all channels.
Markets are shifting from a one-size-fits-all model to one of unlimited variety for unique tastes and preferences.

« In Which We Discard A Heart-Shaped Box »
Description of Kurt Cobain
by ELLEN COPPERFIELD
At the age of eleven, Kurt Cobain was the subject of a description to be published in his school's newspaper, the Puppy Press, under the headline, "Meatball of the Month":
Kurt is a seventh grader at our school. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. He thinks school is alright. Kurt's favorite class is band and his favorite teacher is Mr. Hepp. His favorite food and drink are pizza and coke. His favorite saying is, "excuse you." His favorite song is "Don't Bring Me Down" by E.L.O. and his favorite rock group is Meatloaf. His favorite TV show is "Taxi" and his favorite actor is Burt Reynolds.
Kurt's biographer Charles R. Cross writes, "his doodles mostly were of cars, trucks, and guitars, but he also began to craft his own crude pornography." He had many pets. He loved animals, taking care of strays.
When he was eight his grandparents took him to Disneyland for the first time. His mother drove him from Aberdeen to Seattle where he took a plane to Arizona. It was a whirlwind, stretching his experience of the world.
In the second grade, Red Dye Number Two was removed from his diet. He could not concentrate on any one thing for long, and this was thought to be the culprit. A doctor prescribed Ritalin to remedy the problem. Kurt possessed an overactive mind.
Almost every time someone writes about Kurt's childhood, they invent a different way from the last person who tried it. One biography of Kurt describes him "a kind of menace," another paints him as a sensitive artist. It is as if the person talking about Kurt was never themselves young. He was without doubt his family's horcrux: he simply was not very interested in being anything they were.
He was artistically gifted from the first, but he could not inure himself from cricitism. When a peer could not understand one of his paintings, he lashed out at the willfully obtuse fourteen-year-old girl. His mother divorced Kurt's father when he was nine. She later said, "Everybody was telling him how much they loved his art and he was never satisfied with it."
Later, his worried parents would decide to finally send him to a child psychiatrist. He told Kurt to fit in more.
As soon as his parents got divorced, Kurt stopped eating. At the age of ten, he transferred to a new elementary school in Montesano closer to his father. Girls began noticing him for the first time, his blue eyes. He loved television, never found himself without something fascinating to absorb in silence. His favorite shows were Taxi and Saturday Night Live.
He was not happy in his town, and wanted to live with his mother again. She had moved on to an even worse relationship. Later, when Kurt confronted his mother about why she'd forced him to stay with his father, she told him, "Kurt, you don't even know what it was like. You would have ended up in juvie or jail."
His sketches became more advanced. He once showed a sketch of a vagina to a friend, and when his friend asked him what it was, he laughed.
He was probably not ADHD, but he was still on a pill regimen: not just Ritalin, but sedatives, too. When something was wrong he knew where to go. He felt he could not really depend on anyone else. In junior high, he called his teachers racist and got high whenever he could. He avoided school to be alone, not to hang out with friends.
LSD, marijuana, mushrooms and amyl nitrate. Plus whatever he was taking on script.
His parents became even more concerned when, at the age of fifteen, Kurt composed his first short film, Kurt Commits Bloody Suicide, which featured fake blood pouring out of his wrists. He had thought Jimi Hendrix killed himself and wanted to evade the world in a similar fashion.
He stayed with his uncle for awhile, but the man and his wife had an infant daughter and for space reasons, they made Kurt move out. He was shuttled around between other relatives for a time. No one seemed to take much of an interest in the boy. Back in Aberdeen for high school, he was picked on more than he was admired. His still beautiful mother started dating younger men before she married a longshoreman who regarded Kurt as a kind of pestilence or plague.
In his new art class, one assignment encouraged the students to show an object as it developed. Kurt drew sperm. A classmate said, "It was such a different mental attitude. People began to talk about him, wondering, 'What does he think of?'"
When he moved back in with his father, the man made Kurt pawn his only guitar. Kurt left after he had redeemed the instrument, and turned down the Navy. Out of desperation his mother put down a $100 deposit on an abandoned house for her son. One of Kurt's first ideas was to install a tank full of turtles. One of his other ideas was to change music forever.

Brown Award Winner Lands Graduate Scholarship
SOCORRO, N.M. August 15, 2012 – 2012 Brown Award winner Alyssa Rose Hensley continues to rack up the honors. The chemical engineering graduate was named a Fife Fellow by Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society. She was one of 28 new graduate students across the nation to win the $10,000 fellowship.
|Alyssa Rose Hensley, 2012 Brown Award winner and Tau Beta Pai fellow
Hensley was also named the Engineering Student of the Year by the Society of Professional Engineers' state chapter in 2012 and won Tech's top scholarship her senior year, the Macey Scholarship.
Hensley is entering a master's program at Washington State University in Pullman. She will be working on computationally modeling the interactions between chemicals and catalysts to engineer better catalysts and improve reaction efficiency. Her efforts are intended to improve the efficiency in various refining and chemical synthesis processes.
She was featured in the Summer 2012 edition of The Bent, the magazine of Tau Beta Pi. In that feature, she said that her ultimate career goal is to work with organizations like Engineers Without Borders and Engineering World Health to improve lives around the world with clean water. She is looking forward to continuing her education in chemical purification, specifically water recycling.
A native of Albuquerque, Hensley graduated from New Mexico Tech in four years with a perfect 4.0 GPA.
In her Macey Scholar profile, she said, "In my time here [at Tech], I have continuously strived for excellence in my classes, sought to share my knowledge with others and given of myself to the Socorro community that has so warmly welcomed me."

"I picked the Chemical Engineering Mini-Course because of my interest in both chemistry and mathematics," she said in her Macey Scholar interview. "We got to make biodiesel and drive a go-kart fueled by that diesel. Dr. Weinkauf taught the Mini-Course. From his lectures, it seemed like there was a lot I could do with a chemical engineering degree and that chemical engineering had a much larger real-world impact than just straight chemistry."
By the time she matriculated at Tech in 2008, she already had 31 credit hours in chemistry and calculus. Hensley has worked at Sandia National Laboratories and at New Mexico Tech, conducting biomedical research for Dr. Michaelann Tartis. She also worked for three years as a teaching assistant for Dr. Corey Leclerc's class Computer Programming for Engineers.
"What I like about teaching is showing students that what they think is insurmountable is easy to do if you break it down into steps and work through the problem, instead of expecting the answer immediately," she said. "It's really neat to see a student struggle, but continue to study and work hard at understanding the material. The best day is when they come in and know how to do it because of all their hard work and your help."
Hensley was active with several clubs on campus, including InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and Tau Beta Pi, for which she served as president.
Her advisor at Tech, Dr. Michaelann Tartis, praised Hensley as an academic standout and for her character. She said Hensley has earned high respect from her supervisors at Sandia, which reflects extremely well upon all New Mexico Tech students.
"Alyssa is dependable, responsible, polite and easy to work with," Tartis wrote. "Alyssa has a true hunger for knowledge."

Packers running back Eddie Lacy was the subject of a great deal of scrutiny this week when unflattering pictures from training camp surfaced. And "unflattering pictures" is just a nice way of saying he looked fat. Or maybe Gilbert Brown came out of retirement and put on Lacy's uniform.
But Packers coach Mike McCarthy said today that pictures can be deceiving, and Lacy is in good enough shape to do everything asked of him at practice.
"Going through the conditioning test, he was fine. If we had any concern about any guys they wouldn't be on the field," McCarthy said, via Jason Wilde of ESPNWisconsin.com.
Lacy did weigh in at 238 pounds at last month's minicamp, which was seven pounds heavier than he weighed at the Combine in February. So it's possible that he added some body fat while recovering from offseason toe surgery. But reports out of Packers camp suggest that he is running the ball well. So for the Packers, Lacy's weight should be of no concern.

Too Many Teams Have Forgotten How to Celebrate. Here's a Reminder That Recognition is Important.
Some project teams celebrate the completion of a project, while many others let this milestone pass without any special recognition for the team of the accomplishment. I've been in both environments, and greatly prefer a company, organization and team culture that acknowledges efforts and accomplishments - these places are just more enjoyable. A little appreciation expressed by co-workers, a project manager or upper management can be an important positive factor for project teams. As project manager, it is incumbent upon you to encourage a project culture that incorporates an appropriate amount of recognition for individual and team accomplishments.

Not just a new name for a project status meeting!
The transition to becoming a self-organized team involves a fundamental change in how individuals, teams, and management approach their respective responsibilities. Traditionally managed teams depend upon anointed leaders who give direction, track progress and push the project to completion. Self-organized teams operate quite differently, and in such a team there is no explicit or implicit role of "project leader" or "project manager." In the context of a self-organized team, this article describes how to implement the daily stand-up meeting.

First select your grain to be malted. Some popular grains for this are wheat, barley, corn(Zea maize), rye, oats, & rice. Barley malt is the kind used for milkshakes and malt balls. All of these can be used for bread, beer, or distilled spirits. When you decide what to malt, you should then obtain the grain from a farmer or co-op as it comes from the fields. un-processed. Wash the grain to remove chaff and dirt. soak the grain overnight. Spread it out on a clean dish towel and lay another on top. Keep this all moist and warm (approx.78[sup]O[/sup] F) until all have little roots and some start to get shoots. Then you dry them in a warm oven. Any roasting or toasting or smoking thereafter just adds flavor. you can do that or leave it as is, either way you now have wholesome delicious homemade malt.
