It was as if the world itself had been turned upside down and shaken.
So were the 1960s, at least in the world of Mad Men. Set sprawling in the tumultuous decade, AMC's show chronicles a decade of transformative, cataclysmic change through the eyes of a handful of lecherous, hard-living ad execs working on New York City's Madison Avenue—they themselves tasked with expressing and harnessing the desires of a culture on the move. Gray flannel suits make wary room for love beads. The three-martini lunch is shoved aside for a toke or two of pot. Career-minded women find room for themselves outside the secretarial pool—and newfound freedom and power in their relationships.
Working at fictional ad agency Sterling Cooper (turned Sterling Cooper & Partners), Don Draper certainly knows a thing or two about shaking things up. When his picture-perfect suburban life—complete with beautiful homemaker Betty and two adorable kids—fails to satisfy, he scraps it for a glamorous new wife, this one an up-and-coming actress. And when even that amped-up brand of domestic bliss doesn't hold his attention, he'll step out—be it on a one-night stand or a drawn-out affair.
By the end, he's destroyed two marriages but continues to sleep with almost anyone wearing a skirt. He's forced out of his beloved business, only to work his way back in. He smokes and drinks with abandon, and his life all too often resembles the man in the show's intro—falling out of control, only to land comfortably on a couch, cigarette in hand.
The fact that Don Draper isn't even Don Draper (the former Richard Whitman swapped out his identity during the Korean War) seems fitting. This man lives dreams just as he sells them—as insubstantial as the threads of the night's visions, as vacuous as a commercial for cologne. And it would seem as though Don somehow believes the lies he sells: Happiness lives just around the corner. For him it's not the right brand of aftershave or the perfect vacation spot, but rather hooking up with the right woman or making the perfect ad pitch. He longs to check off happiness with the tick of a pen—and yet his own life always seems to fall short.
"I'm always surprised when people are like, 'I want to be just like Don Draper,'" says the actor who plays him, Jon Hamm. "You want to be a miserable drunk? You want to be like the guy on the poster, maybe, but not the actual guy. The outside looks great, the inside is rotten. That's advertising. Put some Vaseline on that food, make it shine and look good. Can't eat it, but it looks good."
Naturally, as the show trundles through the decade, vices take up residence like so many Woodstock revelers. Drug use is a common theme—occupying the story's counterculture environs. Men drink constantly, smoke incessantly and can treat women like cheap, pretty baubles (even as the ladies learn to push back). Drunken trysts, homosexual experimentations, even bedding a secretary right before and after your wedding day are all kept hidden under the table—though not hidden from the camera. Sexuality is raw, with glimpses of breasts and backsides during intercourse, along with pasty-wearing strippers. And as those thin ties have given way to tie-dyes, foul language has morphed and mutated too.
As it muddles through this moral morass, the series offers a kind of social commentary. Ostensibly, none of the atrocious behavior we witness is meant to be excused. And yet Mad Men sometimes makes bad behavior look oh so glamorous—just as all "good" advertising does.
Legendary ad man William Bernbach once said, "All of us who professionally use mass media are the shapers of society. We can vulgarize that society. We can brutalize it. Or we can help lift it to a higher level." Mad Men does both. Its creators use 50 years of hindsight to subtly satirize America's love affair with consumerism and excess, claiming to be "big on [showing] consequences." But the price is awfully high. So heed the time-honored warning of caveat emptor: Let the buyer beware.

Episode Reviews
It's 1970, and Don dreams of Rachel, an old flame of his, slinking around in a $15,000 chinchilla coat as she auditions for an ad. The next day, he learns that she's died from leukemia. Joan and Peggy deal with some outrageously crass and sexist department store execs (firing off lewd double entendres), and Ken is unceremoniously fired.
Don has sex with a waitress in an alley (after the woman believes, mistakenly, that he left her a $100 tip the last time he was in). He also has sex with an old flame (who we see in bra and panties; they make out on the apartment floor). And a third lady languishes in bed with him. He and others ogle beautiful models wearing just fur and flesh-colored underwear. Roger takes a woman home with him. Peggy and a blind date kiss heavily—but Peggy says she won't sleep with him. "It's old fashioned," the man protests. Peggy responds, "I've tried new fashioned," suggesting that it doesn't work for her.
Characters smoke. They drink wine and hard liquor. They spit out the s-word three times, as well as "a--," "d--n" and "h---" (one or two times each). Jesus' name is abused once.
"Public Relations"
Season 3's finale left Don and his fellow execs huddled in a small hotel room as they formed the new Sterling Cooper Draper Price agency on a shoestring. Season 4 picks things up a year later and the crew has moved to a floor in the Times building. But while one of Don's commercial ideas recently generated a lot of industry buzz, the new agency is still struggling—hurt all the more after a scathing Advertising Age story featuring Don hits the streets.
So advertising gambits get ever more desperate, and Don's personal life isn't doing much better. He's rattling around in a tiny apartment while his ex, Betty, has taken up with a new hubby at home. Friend and partner Roger tries to boost Don's romantic life with an introduction to a shapely 25-year-old. The date goes well, but Don opts to spend Thanksgiving Day with a local prostitute instead of this potential love interest, and the two engage in rough sex. (She straddles him and slaps his face, barely covered by sheets and a brassiere.)
Profanities include uses of "h‑‑‑," "d‑‑n" and "a‑‑."
"Signal 30"
Peter Campbell takes a driver's ed course (he never learned how to drive) and ogles a high school girl, eventually inviting her to the botanical gardens. But when a handsome boy shows up, it's clear she has no real interest in Peter. He watches as the boy moves his hands to the girl's crotch during a safety video. He also has sex with a prostitute during a "business" outing (other ad execs and a potential customer do the same), much to Don's chagrin. Then Peter gets his clock cleaned by a fellow advertising partner. Afterward, he sneaks out of the office, his face covered with bruises, and runs into Don in the elevator. "I have nothing, Don," he says as his eyes well up with tears—an uncomfortable display of honesty in this fabricated ad world.
A potential customer is taken to a brothel by the execs—then lose the contract after the client's wife finds gum on his genitals. Don pitches a client on making his product seem "pornographic." Characters drink and smoke frequently, and Don sets out to get drunk at a party. He succeeds, telling Megan to pull over. "I'm too drunk for you to drive," he says. "We should pull over until we both sober up. Make a baby." (They start making out.) A girl talks about being hung over from drinking vanilla extract.
We hear two s-words. God's and Jesus' names are used inappropriately. Add in "h‑‑‑" and "bloody."
"Field Trip"
Roger unexpectedly asks Don to come back to work. But when Don arrives the next morning, Roger's not there and his co-workers seem at best confused and at worst horrified by his presence. Meanwhile, Betty chaperones a field trip for her son. He's initially thrilled to have her there: "We were having a conversation!" he excitedly tells his teacher. But things soon go awry and Betty begins pouting.
Megan greets her husband (Don's visiting from the East Coast) with sex. (We see them relaxing afterward.) But she accuses him of having an affair as she's buttoning up her shirt. Don denies it, telling her he's been good. "I haven't even been drinking that much," he says. But when he admits that he sort of lost his job, Megan wonders why he didn't then join her in Los Angeles. "This is the way it ends," she says, and throws him out.
Don might have cut back on his drinking, but we still see him (and others) guzzling whiskey, among other things. (A stipulation for Don coming back to work is that he can't drink in the office, nor is he allowed to be alone with clients.) People smoke cigarettes. A teacher wears a revealing blouse and no bra—obvious to both viewers and chaperoning mothers (who make rude comments). Flirting leads to a sexual proposition. Don meets a young hippie who is apparently Roger's new paramour. We hear the s-word (once), "h‑‑‑" (four or five times) and "d‑‑n" (once).
"The Doorway"
The two-hour, Season 6 premiere opens with Don reading the first lines of Dante's Inferno—how Dante "went astray from the straight road" and found himself lost in a forest with no clear way ahead. And so we see that many of the characters are themselves lost.
It's revealed that Don's having an affair, and we see him with his mistress in bed (apparently naked), early New Year's Day, 1968. "What do you want for this year?" she asks him. "I want to stop doing this," he tells her. Megan and Don have sex. Megan's in her underwear when they kiss. Later, she gets up from bed naked, and we see the side of her breast. Megan and other women cavort in bikinis and other skin-baring outfits. Betty jokes with her husband about raping a 15-year-old girl who is having a sleepover with their daughter. We hear the story of a homosexual tryst.
Megan and Don smoke pot, as do their peers. Several people talk about the drug's scent and influence. Characters drink loads of whiskey, wine and vodka; some are obviously inebriated, and Don throws up. Cigarettes get screen time. A proposed advertisement triggers a conversation about suicide. A man "dies," but is revived. We hear about what a big machine gun can do to a water buffalo. Someone makes a reference to a séance. A girl runs away from home.
Insensitive racial remarks are made. The f-word is twice censored on an iTunes download. The s-word is not bleeped, and it pops up four or five times, along with "h‑‑‑" (more than a half-dozen times, "d‑‑n" and "a‑‑" (once or twice each), and "t-t" (once). Jesus' and God's names are abused two or three times each.

Could our D be better? Of course. But we did what we did while spending to the CAP! The only argument to be made is that we were too top heavy CAP wise in JT/Heater/Marleau. But that doesn't take into account the exceptional deals I think we got in Nichols and Manny. The money we saved right there makes Heater a 5.5 Mil CAP guy if you wanna look at it that way, since all 3 were acquired this year.
Excellent job by the Sharks this year. We just ran into a team that got all the breaks one could hope for in a CAP constricted league.
Oh, and I hope we can find a way to keep Patty on the cheap and Nabby walks.
Again, compare our D to any that won the cup in the past 3 or 4 seasons.
"nobody makes it to the WCF with crap D". Not true. We face the avs- even crappier D, and Detroit's D is good but quickly aging. Their forwards still had plenty of breaks against our D as well, but we killed them with powerplays and a hot offense. Guess what happens when we face a stacked D? Swept...
Nabby bails out our D way more than people give him credit for. Best wishes to Greiss trying to fill those shoes next season.

Still in Area 52. Has been for ages.
My Factions Shrine
All classes to 100. Check. Currently playing Final Fantasy XIV. Homogenization is extreme, but classes are still fun.
My opinions: 5.0 was the golden age of content, the pruning was far too light and 6.2 is actually an enjoyable timesink.
I am hearthed in Seven stars, Its the center of Pandaria (physically) so I can fly anywhere quickly and it has banks, transmogs, portals to -every- city and I can use the wow armory to sell my goods much easier than using the in game auction house. I use to set my hearth in Dalaran because it had a portal to stormwind so I would not have to fly out to Dalaran after taking the boat to Northrend if I ever needed to go there.
In fact I have a RAF mount and whenever a guildie comes into Pandaria I give them a flight to seven stars to set home point and flight point so it makes their gaming experience easier.

Shrine. But I have a bank alt in Undercity for my AH needs and another 85 that I will level later in case I need to trade in Org.
Shrine... There's no reason for me to check the AH for less than 15-minute intervals.
I have it in Orgrimmar just because i always forget to change it
Currently playing:

The Shrine. Now that the PvP vendors are in Pandaria, I have no reason to be in Org. Besides, the Shrine has portals to all the cities anyway.
Shrine, if I want to go to Org, there's a portal, right there.
Shrine, its got the portal to SW if I need it, and for everything else its right in the middle of Panda Land

Don't trip, if you do right it might get you rich
from InkMonstarr – Ridin' Round Lyrics on Genius
I think he's referring to that some people do some shit just to get the company or business or whatever it could be to pay them some money for a reason like this one. There was a woman who went to Mc Donald's and ordered some coffee and then she spilled the coffee on her hand or something like that and then she complained to Mc Donald's because they didn't tell her that the cup was containing hot liquid. And then they had to pay her some money because she won the case against them and so.
Not really sure about she won the case or not, but you got the point..

My name is Sara, my friends, family, and faith are the most important things in my life. I am a Speech Therapist at an elementary school and middle school, so I spend my days hanging out with kids. I love my job and am so thankful to have found something I am passionate about, most days it doesn't feel like work. I am looking for someone who can be my travel buddy, comedic relief, and best friend. I'm pretty easy going and the little things in life make me the happiest. If I am laughing life is good, even if it is at myself. I enjoy traveling, trying things that scare me, learning new things and experiencing different cultures. I'm also a fan of sitting and having a good cup of coffee or a glass of wine and relaxing. I love giving back and hold tight to the belief that I am given resources and opportunities not just so I have comfortable life. I would like someone who will challenge me both intellectually, personally and spiritually- someone who brings out the best in me and the other way around.

|Combustion of natural gas with entrained diesel in a heavy-duty compression-ignition engine
|Laforet, Christopher A.
|Master of Applied Science - MASc
|Mechanical Engineering
|Copyright Date:
|Publicly Available in cIRcle
|High-pressure direct-injection of natural gas for use in compression-ignition engines has been found to reduce emissions without sacrificing performance relative to pure diesel operation. In the present work, prototype 'co-injectors' which inject a diesel and natural gas mixture from a single injector were tested in a heavy-duty, 6-cylinder Cummins ISX engine with 5 cylinders disabled. One prototype ('B') was tested under low-speed, low-load conditions, to determine the effects of fuel flows and in-cylinder conditions on the combustion characteristics of co-injection. Co-injector B, and a second prototype (Co-injector CS: A variation of Co-injector B which mixes the fuels differently) were tested at three engine modes using two injections per cycle to determine the effect of the duration of the first injection on emissions and combustion characteristics. The performance of the co-injectors was compared to Westport Innovation's High Pressure Direct Injection (HPDI) J36 injector to determine if co-injection can produce comparable emissions. Single injection tests carried out with Co-injector B at 800 RPM over a range of diesel flows, gas flows, injection pressures, and cylinder temperatures & pressures were used to generate response surfaces for knock intensity, ignition delay, and combustion efficiency. It was found that diesel flow and the cylinder pressure at the time of injection had the largest effect of knock intensity and ignition delay, and that the knock/ignition delay relationship in co-injection is inverse. The double injection tests showed that the difference in diesel distributions within the gas plenums of CS and B results in more diesel being injected during the first injection in CS compared to B, which supports previous results. It was found that short first pulses resulted in the lowest emissions for both co-injectors, and that with low first gas pulse widths the performance of the co-injectors is comparable to that of Westport's HPDI-J36 injector.

Superlative culinary delights abound in New York State!
New York State restaurants offer food journeys like nowhere else. For starters, there's amazing variety. Culinary traditions from around the world combine with the bounty of our farms, orchards and vineyards-all the best ingredients for unforgettable dining!
With over 20,000 diverse restaurants and some of the world's best chefs, New York City reigns as a foodie's paradise. Follow famous chefs to hotspots like Buvette, a Parisian-inspired "gastroteque" in the West Village. Savor a prime steak at Peter Luger, a Brooklyn classic.
Several star New York City chefs make it possible to enjoy superb meals at budget-friendly prices. While Mario Batali's fine restaurants include Babbo and Del Posto, Otto in Greenwich Village has the lowest prices. Try his famous pizza and dishes like caponata, perfect with a carafe of vino. Chef Boulud's haute French restaurant Daniel is rated in Pellegrino's Top 25 restaurants in the world. For prices you might find easier to digest, head to his Épicerie Boulud, on the other side of Central Park. Fantastic desserts include canelés, eclairs and seasonal tartlettes. Magnifique!
Students at the International Culinary Center (formerly the French Culinary Institute), where top chefs like Bobby Flay and David Chang trained, serve an elegant prix-fixe menu that's one of the City's best deals. Reserve your table for unforgettable food and wine from this affordable, world-renowned Zagat- and Michelin-rated restaurant!
Don't miss the chance to indulge in a perfect slice of New York cheesecake at Junior's, or try the pastrami at the famous Katz's Deli. Other classic neighborhood specialties include brick-oven New York pizza in Little Italy, Greenwich Village and Brooklyn. Head out to Queens to enjoy authentic ethnic restaurants, from Mexican to Thai.
Specials come with ocean views on Long Island, where chefs are inspired by fresh local seafood and produce. Watch the fishing boats from your table at waterfront bistros like Dave's Grill on Montauk Harbor. Enjoy gourmet meals with favorites from local wineries at restaurants like The North Fork Table. In Riverhead, the 1896 Tweeds Restaurant & Buffalo Bar gets sizzling reviews for bison steaks, rated excellent by Zagat.
At the Culinary Institute of America in the Hudson Valley, you can dine at five award-winning restaurants staffed by future celebrity chefs. Take a seat at FDR's favorite table at The Tavern at Beekman Arms in Rhinebeck. The Hudson Valley landmark has been welcoming guests (including George Washington) since 1766, when Revolutionary War heroes drank rum toddies and townspeople took refuge when the British attacked.

Sixth-Grade Gaga-Bieber Hybrid Wows on YouTube
Whether it's the soulful, way-too-mature-for-a-kid-this-old vocals, the hairdo (how'd he get it so Bieber-y?!) or the effortless confidence -- maybe all three -- this clip is a classic. Meet the artist known as Greyson Michael Chance:
Wow, huh? PopEater commends this grade-school genius for putting a unique spin on the oft-covered music de Gaga. We also applaud these sixth-grade females for not fainting in the wake of this spectacular performance.
Young Greyson-san's 'Paparazzi' cover has netted him over 1.5 million hits thus far -- which is a few more views than the two original home video jams hosted on his YouTube channel. Here's the bio from his page -- Greyson97, leading us to believe he was born in '97 and is around 12:
Greyson undeniable awesomeness has already inspired a Facebook fan page, which currently has over 5,200 devotees screaming "WOW!" and "Sooooo Cool!" in unison.I am very inspired by Lady Gaga and Augustana. Lady Gaga is a freak but she has so much talent and her style of music is what I would like mine to be when I'm older. Augustana is one of the most underrated bands I think ever to step the planet. They have so much talent it is not funny. They have such a good concept with folk and rock. It is very sad that they are so unknown.
Further proof he's a phenom? Ellen DeGeneres has booked Greyson to stop by her talk show this Thursday.
Here's hoping for more from Greyson...soon. In the meantime, here are two of his own songs:

Wow, those girls faces remind me why I'm so glad to be out of school, horrid evil little vicious monsters. Instead of applauding the kid's talent they will make faces because he is exspressing himself and not just fitting in with the other "men"
I hope his talent takes him where ever he wants to go and these other mean people will be left in his dust!

He has such an amazing talent. I can't believe for the life of me some of you out there are putting him down. Your jealousy of a child is so sad. You should praise children and each other for the gifts God gave us. Its an even smaller amount of us that choose to receive those gifts. I say sing and play loud and proud! Never listen to the jealous people that try to tear you down because they cannot do what you can.

Objectives: To evaluate the outcomes of pregnancy in young women (<40 years old) with early endometrial cancer or atypical complex hyperplasia who were treated by conservative management followed by assisted reproductive technology (ART).
Materials and Methods: Medical charts of 11 patients treated from January 1997 to October 2007 at Asan Medical Center were retrospectively reviewed. These patients had all been treated with progestin and serial dilatation and curettage as primary fertility-preserving therapies.
Results: After pathological remission of disease, 10 patients tried to become pregnant by ART, 4 by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, and 6 by controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, with or without intrauterine insemination. Eight women had intrauterine pregnancies, and 6 patients had live births. Patients have been followed up for 9 to 51 months (mean, 21 months) after delivery, with no evidence of tumor recurrence.
Conclusions: Fertility-preserving therapy followed by ART can be a good option in well-selected patients with early endometrial cancer who want to become pregnant.

Weight loss is common in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is predictive of mortality. Leptin, an adipocyte-derived peptide hormone is implicated in the regulation of satiety and energy expenditure. It acts on the hypothalamus to suppress appetite and increase energy expenditure. We undertook this study to determine if inappropriately elevated leptin levels play a role in AD-associated weight loss. Serum leptin levels of 8 patients in each of the following groups were determined: (1) AD, body mass index (BMI) >25; (2) AD, BMI <20; (3) non-Alzheimer's (vascular) dementia (VaD), BMI >25, and (4) VaD, BMI <20. Mean serum leptin levels were significantly lower in below-appropriate-weight patients (both AD and VaD) than in appropriate-weight controls. Below-appropriate-weight AD patients had a significantly lower mean serum leptin concentration than appropriate-weight VaD controls. Weight loss is a feature of AD. Inappropriately elevated leptin levels do not appear to be implicated. Indeed, we have shown that the afferent limb of the leptin feedback loop is intact in below-appropriate-weight AD patients and suggest hypothalamic dysfunction may underlie this feature.

Final Score: (8) Texas Tech 63, (19) Kansas 21
Lawrence, KS (Sports Network) - Graham Harrell threw for 386 yards and five
touchdowns in just three quarters of play, as eighth-ranked Texas Tech spoiled
Homecoming for No. 19 Kansas with a 63-21 rout of the Jayhawks.
Michael Crabtree and Eric Morris each caught two scoring passes, while Shannon
Woods ran for 79 yards and two scores for the Red Raiders (8-0, 4-0 Big 12),
who have won the first eight games of a season for the first time since 1976
and began the difficult portion of their schedule with a convincing win. Texas
Tech hadn't played a ranked foe until Saturday, and the next two weeks will
bring Texas and Oklahoma State to Lubbock before a bye and a road game at
Harrell completed 34-of-42 passes and also ran for a touchdown, as Texas Tech
scored on all but two of his possessions. The only times the Red Raiders
failed to find the end zone with Harrell at the helm was at the end of the
first half when time expired and on the first play of the fourth quarter with
a missed field goal.
"We weren't concentrating on what they were trying to do [defensively], we
were focused on executing and moving the ball," said Harrell. "That's what we
did. We went out there and executed well. When we play like that we're tough
to beat. When our line protects we're tough to beat."
Walk-on Matt Williams saw his first action as Tech's extra-point specialist
and got plenty of work. The winner of a kicking contest earlier this season
was true on each of his nine PAT tries.
Todd Reesing and the Jayhawks were unable to keep pace, as Kansas (5-3, 2-2)
lost its second straight and saw a 13-game home winning streak come to an end.
The Jayhawks were humbled at Oklahoma last week with a 45-31 setback and were
never in this game after the opening quarter.
"Here's the reality of it: we got a good old fashioned butt-whooping today,
and we know that," said Kansas head coach Mark Mangino. "It happens to
everybody from time to time in college football. You just get a day where the
snowball starts rolling downhill, and it gets bigger and bigger and before you
know it, you have no chance to stop it and it runs you over. That's what
happened to us today."
Reesing completed 16-of-26 passes for 154 yards with two touchdowns and three
interceptions. He also fumbled once. Jake Sharp ran for 80 yards on 13 carries
in defeat.
After Kansas went three-and-out to start the game, the fireworks began as each
of the next five possessions ended in touchdowns.
The Red Raiders started their initial series from their own 44-yard line and
needed just two plays to reach the end zone. Following a one-yard run by
Woods, Harrell found Edward Britton on a post pattern for a 55-yard touchdown.
Kansas answered with an eight-play march for the tying score, as Reesing
finished it with a 33-yard toss to Kerry Meier for the touchdown.
Texas Tech quickly went the other way and drove 83 yards on eight plays for
another score. A 42-yard pass from Harrell to Baron Batch set up a first down
at the two-yard line and it took three plays to find the end zone, as Harrell
drilled a four-yard strike to Crabtree for a 14-7 lead.
The Jayhawks followed with a 72-yard drive to again tie it. Reesing was
perfect on each of his four throws and ended the nine-play series with a 10-
yard scoring strike to Dezmon Briscoe with 1:09 left in the opening period.
Once again, though, the Red Raiders had an answer as Harrell's seven-yard TD
pass to Morris finished a 69-yard drive early in the second quarter to give
Tech a 21-14 edge.
Kansas finally could not keep up offensively and punted the ball away,
allowing the juggernaut Raider offense to continue its onslaught. Harrell
directed a 12-play drive that ended with a three-yard touchdown run by Woods
to increase the advantage to 28-14 with just under six minutes to play in the
Reesing was stripped of the ball on Kansas' next possession and the Red
Raiders recovered at the KU 38-yard line. The turnover led to a Tech's fifth
touchdown of the half, as Harrell connected with Morris on a swing pass for a
10-yard score to give the Raiders a 35-14 cushion just 2:15 before the
The only thing that stopped Tech was the end of the first half, as the Raiders
got the ball one last time with 42 seconds to play but could only reach
midfield before time ran out.
"I was really happy with the way our team came out," said Texas Tech head
coach Mike Leach. "We were excited to prepare all week and we played well when
we got here. Our defense got better and better as the game went on.
Offensively we were really steady. Kansas is a good football team, as
everybody knows. But sometimes you get on a roll and that helps you out a
Texas Tech took the opening kickoff of the second half and didn't miss a beat,
driving 80 yards on 13 plays for another score. Harrell completed 8-of-9
passes during the march and capped it with a quarterback sneak from the one
for a touchdown and a 42-14 lead.
Reesing was then intercepted by Darcel McBath on Kansas' first play from
scrimmage following the kickoff and the Red Raiders quickly turned it into
another score. Harrell had to throw two touchdown passes to complete the 43-
yard march, as the first was negated by a holding penalty, but Crabtree caught
the one that counted, as he turned a middle screen into a 16-yard touchdown
for a 49-14 cushion with just over five minutes left in the third quarter.
Tech got the ball back just two plays after the next kickoff, as McBath picked
off Reesing again. Harrell went for the home run on the first play and
connected with a 40-yard pass to Britton, setting up a one-yard touchdown run
by Woods to give the Red Raiders a 56-14 bulge.
Reesing was intercepted by McBath again on Kansas' next series and the Raiders
reached the Jayhawk 16 before Harrell was sacked twice as the third quarter
came to a close. On the first play of the fourth, Donnie Carona missed a 43-
yard field goal try.
Kansas then turned the ball over on downs at its own 45-yard line and Taylor
Potts engineered another Tech touchdown drive. He needed five plays to do so,
throwing a 10-yard scoring pass to Adam Jones for a 63-14 lead.
The Jayhawks finally scored again with 3:52 remaining when Jocques Crawford
bulled into the end zone from one yard away.
"It is tough because you move the ball effectively on the first two drives and
get two scores and are right there with them," Reesing explained. "We figured
we could do that all day. Then we lost momentum, lost focus or whatever it
was. You could point a finger at a lot of things. We just didn't come out in
the second half and things started going bad and we just didn't combat it."
Game Notes
Texas Tech earned the 499th win in school history...The Red Raiders rolled up
556 yards of offense, while Kansas mustered 315...Crabtree finished with nine
catches for 70 yards, while Morris hauled in seven passes for 39 yards.
Britton's three catches resulted in 106 yards...Texas Tech leads the all-time
series 10-1.

In a wide-ranging Q&A with "Dime" Pacers forward Danny Granger said that his six-month rehab process puts him back to recovery on October 5th and that he anticipates playing in the preseason. Dime: There's been a lot of discussion about your role with the team after Lance Stephenson played so well in your absence. Do you think you're better in a starter's role or can you contribute off the bench as well? DG: That's the last thing on my mind. My only focus right now is pretty much getting back on the court. I can worry about the rest later. Dime: Are you restricted at all in the stuff you can do or are you full-on right now? DG: I'm still in the middle of my rehab. I'm in a six month rehab; I won't be six months out until October 5th…so I'm progressing to playing — I'm playing now but I'm progressing on schedule and I'm still in the midst of my rehab. Dime: How do you get the reps in or get ready for training camp if you can't go all out? DG: Well you go out you're playing ...

Great looking watch. For once the dimensions matched the item and the chrono hand actually moves on the markers and not in between like so many other brands. One unmentioned feature is that the band will not straighten out when off the wrist. It's pre-formed on the curvature like a metal bracelet. No big deal but worth mentioning.

Favorite Bible Verse : Micah 7:18-19 (NIV): Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgressions of the remnant of his inheritance. You do not stay angry forever, but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
I always wanted to be a writer of fiction. But growing up in a family where money was very tight taught me at an early age that it was important to be able to earn a living and support oneself. So I looked for a career where I could write for a living. When I was in the first or second grade, I had a "newspaper" that I wrote and "printed" myself. In high school I served as the editor of both the school newspaper and the yearbook. I always figured being a reporter meant I could write and get paid for it, something fiction didn't guarantee. After receiving a bachelors degree in journalism from the University of Kansas I worked for newspapers in Kansas, Florida, Oklahoma and Texas. After ten years as a print journalist, I made the switch to public relations, thinking the hours would be more family friendly (turns out that was far from true!) I've been doing that for 18 years now. When I turned 45 I realized it was now or never. Time to write that novel. So I did. And several more after that. Some of my early efforts reside in a desk drawer, but two romantic suspense novels set in Texas, A Deadly Wilderness and No Child of Mine, were published in 2010 and 2011. To Love and To Cherish is my first Amish romance. My husband and I have been married 24 years. We have two semi-grown children, three cats, and a tank full of fish.
What is your favorite Bible verse?
Micah 7:18-19 (NIV): Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgressions of the remnant of his inheritance. You do not stay angry forever, but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
How did you come up with the concept for To Love and to Cherish? I came across a newspaper article about a rash of buggy accidents and how law enforcement officials were puzzling over how to keep the roads safe for the buggies and the cars. It got me to thinking about that clash between two ways of life. Then I started thinking about how hard it must be to forgive someone who has—however accidentally—killed your loved ones. I asked myself if I could do it. Even though it's a basic tenant of the Amish faith, I imagine there are times when a great internal battle wages over the desire to be obedient to your faith and the human feelings of loss, grief, and anger. That is true in any faith because we are only human.
How did you choose the setting?
Bliss Creek is a fictional town in Kansas. I choose Kansas because I'm originally from that state. I'm familiar with the landscape, the geography and the seasons. It's a rural state with many farming communities. My sister and her husband farm there and can tell me what crops are in the field during what times of the year, when they're harvested, etc., which helps me get the details right. While there are Mennonite communities in Kansas, I don't believe there are currently any Amish districts. Having a fictional community allows me to set it up anyway I like. It gives me a lot of freedom.
How involved are you in the Amish community?
I've done a lot of research. I hope to be able to travel to Amish country soon.
Do you have a favorite character To Love and to Cherish? Why?
My favorite character is Josiah. He's a lot like me. He has a good heart and he wants to do the right thing, but he's stubborn, rebellious, and stiff-necked. He questions everything and often does things the hard way, but ultimately, he really wants to be loved and accepted for who he is.
How much research did To Love and to Cherish take? This is my first Amish romance, so it required a tremendous amount of research. It's important to me to get it right. It's made even more difficult by the fact that each Amish district has its own Ordnung, or set of unwritten rules. What may be permitted in one community is prohibited in another. Some are more conservative than others. It was fascinating and I'm still learning.
Is the story based on fact?
No, it's completely fictional.
How many books will be in this series?
Book #2, entitled A Heart Made New (where readers will learn more about Josiah's journey, as well as Annie's) is scheduled for release in September 2012. I'm currently working on a third Bliss Creek novel that I hope to pitch to Harvest House very soon, so we'll have to wait and see how that turns out.
What are the most interesting facts that you learned while researching and writing To Love and to Cherish?
All aspects of the Amish way of life are interesting to me. I tried to picture myself without an air conditioner, dishwasher, washing machine, a car, and other conveniences. I deeply respect their work ethic and willingness to live out their faith no matter how much the world tugs them in another direction.
What are some of the challenges you face as an author? The biggest challenge is finding time to write. I work full-time as a public relations professional and I also do proofreading for court reporters as a sideline. Being a mother and a wife are also important parts of my everyday life. So I rise early each day and go to my office so I can get in at least an hour of writing in the morning, then I squeeze in another hour at lunch, if I can, and finish up in the evenings if I still have enough steam to keep going. It's a challenge, but it's also a joy. Writing is my favorite part of every day.
What aspects of being a writer do you enjoy the most?
When a story takes over and becomes a living thing. The scenes come alive in my head and I can't type fast enough to get them down. With my first romantic suspense novel, which came out in 2010, I would be driving and scenes would be writing themselves so I'd have to pull over and write some of it down so I wouldn't forget it. That creative process is one of the most fulfilling things I've ever experienced. I love it when something occurs on the page and I think, "where did that come from?" I didn't see that coming. A character will appear out of nowhere, fully formed, and ready to step into my story. I'm astounded and asking, who are you and where did you come from? That is by far the coolest thing about being a fiction writer.
What clubs or organizations are you involved with helping with your writing?
I'm a member of American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) and try to attend their national conference each year in order to attend sessions that allow me to hone my craft. It's also an opportunity to pitch to editors and network with other writers. I also belong to the local chapter of ACFW, which is the Alamo City Christians Writers organization. We meet monthly to discuss the writing craft and have fellowship. Writing can be a solitary and lonely occupation not well understood by family members so having other people who understand about getting up at three a.m. to write down a conversation between two fictional characters is really important. I'm also a member of Sisters in Crime and have attended the Writers Police Academy.
What message would you like your readers to take from reading To Love and to Cherish?
We're all sinners who fall short. We want to be forgiven so it is important for us to be ready to forgive as well. I know God has forgiven me over and over again. He is the God of second chances and third chances. How can we not do the same for others?
What was your favorite book as a child?
It's hard to pick one. I loved to read and spent all my free time during the summer at the public library. I loved A Wrinkle in Time, Harriet the Spy, The Oregon Trail, and the Nancy Drew mysteries, to name a few.
What is your greatest achievement?
My life has been pretty humble. I'm happy to have a regular, "average" "normal" life where my family and I barbecue in the backyard and watch movies together on Friday night and celebrate birthdays with angel food cake and ice cream and chocolate syrup. It takes a concerted effort to make a marriage and family work. I consider my happy marriage and family life a great achievement. Not one that I'm in anyway solely responsible for, of course.
What do you do to get away from it all?
Although I love to travel, the older I get, the more I've become a homebody. I'm perfectly content to escape by curling up on the couch with a good book and a bowl of popcorn.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
I hope readers enjoy reading To Love and Cherish as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I have all my teeth..if that helps!
I talk to grease monkeys all day and 3 children all night...I NEED REAL CONVERSATIONS FOR THE LOVE!!! Independent. I have learned to hold my own weight in the world, except for the small things in life - hanging up holiday themed lights, moving heavy furniture, building things, etc. The things that don't really matter, but matter because we like them. How do I describe myself? I'm pretty straight forward, hard working, and love to goof around. I am horrible about trying to sugar coat things and I prefer to be honest then try to come up with a lie that I will later get caught in anyways. I'm dedicated to my job. I have goals that I want to achieve. My family is my foundation. I am a mother of three beautiful children and they keep me going! They are my pride and joy of life. We are always on the go. I believe in exploring the world around us, one adventure at a time. I am interested in finding someone to share our adventures with.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Cycling, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
This is a little bit hard to answer, especially as we love to go out and about! Places we have been: Japan, California, Texas, Washington D.C., Nevada
Exploring and doing activities with friends and family. With the fall around the corner..bonfire in the middle of our street while the kids run around like tribal beasts and the adults sit back and drink! (It's a funny site)
I know this sounds goofy, but most movies I watch are G, PG, or PG-13. Though, I love to watch drama TV shows and some of the interesting shows on TLC, I like things that I can watch with my kids, whether it is in the home or at a theater/drive-in.
Something to do with model train stuff. My kid wants to start building model trains and I haven't a clue what I am doing!

A brief overview of the War of 1812. The War of 1812 was a military conflict fought between the forces of the United States of America and those of the British Empire. The United States declared war in 1812 for several reasons, including trade restrictions brought about by Britain's ongoing war with France, the impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, outrage over insults to national honour after humiliations on the high seas, and possible American desire to annex Canada.

Ryan Juror Investigation
March 24, 2006
The Chicago Tribune reports today that a juror in the corruption trial of former Illinois Governor George Ryan failed to disclose his criminal record on a questionnaire during jury selection.
Court documents from the mid-1990s show a felony drunk driving conviction and a weapons charge.
U-S District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer is investigating the allegations.
On Chicago Public Radio's Eight-Forty-Eight, Northwestern University law professor Jeffrey Urdangen said he was surprised prosecutors didn't discover the lie.
He says, "You would have expected that a simple key stroke for each prospective juror would have been done to see what their rap sheet is."
Urdangen says the Cook County State's Attorney's Office does this as a matter of course in their cases.
But he says it would take a much bigger revelation to warrant a mistrial.
Urdangen says, "Some personal information about a key witness or one of the principal lawyers or the defendant, something shocking that turned out to be true, that would be an example of what might taint the jury so significantly to even consider a mistrial."
He says it's likely the juror will be replaced with an alternate.
If that happens, the jury will begin deliberations all over again.
The jury is expected to return to the federal courthouse on Monday.

Inflation Persistence And Core Inflation: The Case Of South Africa
This paper analyses the persistence of inflation in South Africa since 1981. A measure of the persistence of inflation provides important information about the impact of shocks on the economy over time. This information can be extremely useful for the purpose of setting monetary policy, especially in a small, open economy like South Africa. In addition, an estimate of persistence at the disaggregate level helps in the identification of the main drivers of aggregate inflation. This information is useful in deriving a core measure of South African inflation, which outperforms some of the more readily available core measures in identifying the underlying inflationary pressures in the economy.

That's right, the rest of the league seems to have finally realized that Earl Thomas is pretty great. He'll be headed to Hawaii as the starting free safety for the NFC team, and according to John Boyle of the Everett Herald he may not be the only Seahawk in attendance: First Alternates: CB Brandon Browner, SS Kam Chancellor, FB Michael Robinson Second Alternate: RB Marshawn Lynch Third Alternate: P Jon Ryan Alternates are only invited to the Pro Bowl if a player who was named ahead of them declines to accept their invitation for whatever reason, the main two reasons being that they're too injured or too busy getting ready to play in the Super Bowl to attend. For instance, if Green Bay were to play in the Super Bowl this year, CB Charles Woodson and FB John Kuhn would bow out and Browner and Robinson would take their places. Chancellor's chances of attending depend entirely on the status of Cardinals SS Adrian Wilson, Lynch would need two of the NFC's three running backs (LeSe...

Christmas is near and I am proud to have a colorful present for the Dynamics NAV community.
The "Treemap Business Data Visualization for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 – Partner Community Edition" is available for download here on PartnerSource and on CustomerSource.
"Treemap Business Data Visualization for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 – Partner Community Edition" is available for download here on PartnerSource and also on CustomerSource.
As some of you know, I am driving for extensibility options in Dynamics NAV, which will bring even richer and tailored UI to Dynamics NAV users and at the same time open new business opportunities for our partners.
This is the framework that should help to become a player in this business domain. Business Data Visualizations are characterized by five simple pillars.
Visualizations provide a mental model for business data and data dependencies. It can be characterized by the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." By seeing a visual representation of data and data dependencies, even nonexpert users can more easily understand business data.
Visualizations are an entry point for understanding the current state of a business and trends. Users can drill down and filter data to provide intuitive, ad hoc analysis.
Users can find items of interest and outliers in business data that are based on certain objectives or measures. Those outliers can be converted into high-priority actionable tasks and possible actions.
Problem solvers and optimizers help users decide on a strategy. They can provide suggestions for an action strategy that can lead to an optimal result for one or more objectives.
Visualizations help users understand the impact of actions before they are committed. Visualizers can account for dependencies, predict the outcome of actions, and provide visualizations to users.
This is the first release of a Business Data Visualization that covers a few of the pillars above.
The Treemap visualization focuses on providing insight into business data. Users look at business data from different perspectives. In a Treemap visualization, a perspective is composed of two measurements, which define the appearance of size and color for each data element. The brain can efficiently process large sets of data based on size and color, which makes the Treemap visualization very effective.
The Treemap visualization is complemented with visual filtering on top of a data histogram for each selected measurement. The histogram provides an overview of how many data items appear in the range of values that is defined by the full measurement value range. Users can then use intuitive range filtering to adjust the upper or lower boundary of the range of values from which data objects are visualized.
With visual filtering, users can see data items disappear or appear dynamically and transition smoothly in size and color. The brain can follow and keep track of dynamic changes for a large number of visual elements simultaneously, which makes the visualization even more effective.
Users can use these visual tools to better understand a set of business objects with the range of values of multiple measurements in one picture. Users can then discover unexpected correspondences and also validate that data follows presumed correspondences.
The Treemap visualization also helps identify actionable items and answers to questions, such as which business data items fall out of typical procedures? Which data items are the most important ones to act on? Where does an action have the most impact?
These questions can frequently be answered by looking at outliers in presumed correspondences of measurements for a business situation. These business data items typically do not follow the presumed correspondences and anticipated flow of data.
The Treemap visualization provides direct access to relevant UI pages so that users can act on the business data object behind a Treemap field.
The Partner Community Edition of the Treemap Business Data Visualization for Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an unsupported release. Nevertheless, you may integrate it into Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 customer projects and add-on solutions.

Welcome to Match.com. ::: The visuals you see in my profile range from June 2013 (yep) back to 2003. You get to do the forensics on which go with what year. ::: Now, any resemblance to Tom, Brad, Kiefer, George OR Nick … is purely subjective on your part. Maybe Bob Weir or Boz Scaggs? ::: Real Age: 59 plus 10 - the New Math. ::: Real Job: Database architect for a large So Cal power company (day job). Also owner of a computer database software / web site consulting business. ::: Unreal Job: Freelancing on guitar/vocals in various Blues bands and attending local blues jams is a passion of mine. And it can be fun together ... think of it as a social/networking event. You never know who ... you might meet! Trust me on this :-) ::: My typical weekly workout routine consists of CrossFit 3-4x/week - why? To always remain attractive to my future significant - final - other - just like the day we meet. I've been shopping at Trader Joe's since 1979 - if that tells you anything. Cooking is a team sport. According to others, apparently I can whip up some pretty interesting meals. But, don't look for me on Top Chef anytime soon! ::: I am a serious animal person (2 indoor only cats), friend to ALL animals and I hope You are too. Note: If you are allergic to cats ... this profile just self-destructed. Darn! Also, Yes my cats do tend to 'sleep' on the same bed that I do. My cats are family (just like my kids) and are treated as such. Ask about my vet bill ... and I have the best vet in the World! ::: Microsoft MVP (Access) 2009-Current. Recognized World expert in Microsoft Access - just sayin'. Extremely computer/internet literate. Yes, I can fix your computer and anything around a home ... and more. ::: Easy going, energetic and outgoing. Very casual and informal. Never bored. Not possessive or controlling. Talk about anything (read: I can and do Communicate). ::: Fishetarian since 1980. Pro-Active on my own health. Intuitive, creative and motivated. Good attitude, very positive and flexible. Funny, caring, sensitive and stable. No prior baggage. Great childhood. ::: Many other interests such as: Martial arts, bike riding, wine tasting. Working out @ CrossFitRC. Remodeling a house, taking road trips. Hangin' out with friends and kids. ::: All motor sports such as NHRA, IndyCar, Formula 1. Why? Because it's flat exciting ... say compared to baseball - snooze fest! Super Bowl ok, but I mainly root for wardrobe failures! .... and a boat load of other things. ::: I am pretty much open to anything new, except extreme high risk activities, for example sky diving. I really can't afford the down time. Canoeing in the Amazon River ... probably not gonna happen. If I didn't list some of your favorite things... just ask me if I like them. ::: Ok, now about YOU ... the most important part. I'm looking for a girl complementary to myself. I am attracted to: Intelligence Ambition Motivation ::: ... and of course the big 'C' word - Chemistry, the most overused word in online profiles. You enjoy being physically active and are willing to make an effort to stay in shape. You are responsible for your own actions as I am. You maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle and well, I'm really running out of characters now, so this seems like a good start! ::: Hope to meet You soon :-)

Benny, S.; (2010) High temperature water gas shift catalysts: a computer modelling study. Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
The high-temperature (HT) Water Gas Shift (WGS) reaction has considerable technological relevance for lowering CO content during the conversion of natural gas or liquid hydrocarbons to hydrogen. Conventional HT-WGS catalysts based on oxides of iron and chromium are well established industrially. However, it is crucial to remove any impurities present such as Cr6+, S or N during the catalytic process. In particular, Cr6+ is regarded as a Class I carcinogen and its presence is restricted by EU legislation. Even though Cr6+ is reduced during the catalytic process, caution must still be taken to eliminate any further impurities. Hence, it is desirable to identify alternative promoters and develop a Cr-free HT-WGS catalyst. This thesis presents results obtained using atomistic simulation techniques to investigate the effect of Cr3+ and possible alternative dopants in three important iron oxide materials, Hematite (α-Fe2O3), Maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) and Magnetite (Fe3O4). The starting point is to develop an understanding of the structural properties and distribution of Cr3+ on the bulk and surface material of hematite. The critical stage of understanding the role of Cr3+ provides the basis from which criteria for novel dopants can be assessed. Al3+ and Mn3+ are proposed as the promising candidates on the basis of this study. The research has been extended to other complex iron oxides, such as maghemite and magnetite. In summary, the role of chromium in the HT-WGS reaction has been investigated to establish criteria for effective, alternative promoter dopants. This investigation has provided a detailed insight into the atomic level behaviour of Cr3+, Mn3+, Al3+ impurities in three major iron oxide phases. The alternative dopants predicted in this study have been the subject of parallel experimental studies conducted by Johnson Matthey. The results of this study are already benefiting the design of more efficient iron-oxide catalysts for the HT-WGS reaction.
