2013 Chevrolet Trax unveiled in Paris [video]
A new entry for a popular segment
Chevrolet has unveiled the 2013 Trax at the Paris Motor Show.
Essentially a rebadged Opel / Vauxhall Mokka, the Trax is designed to convey "athletic agility and movement." It features a prominent grille, bulging fenders and an upward sweeping character line. There's also plastic body cladding, chrome accents and 16- to 18-inch alloy wheels.
The Trax's cabin has a stylish design with a three-spoke steering wheel, metallic accents and circular air vents. The model can also be equipped with leather upholstery and the MyLink infotainment system.
Under the hood, three different engines are available:
- A 1.6-liter petrol with 115 HP (85 kW) and 155 Nm (114 lb-ft) of torque
- A turbocharged 1.4-liter petrol with 140 HP (103 kW) and 200 Nm (147 lb-ft) of torque
- A 1.7-liter diesel with 130 HP (96 kW) and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) of torque
The latter two engines can be connected to a six-speed automatic transmission and an optional all-wheel drive system.
The Chevrolet Trax will go on sale later this year and be offered in more than 140 countries.
World Premiere for Chevrolet Trax in Paris
• Chevrolet Trax boasts true SUV looks
• Well-organized, modern and flexible cabin
• Three engines: 1.4L turbo and 1.6L gasoline engine, 1.7L diesel
• On-demand all-wheel-drive system for off-road adventures
• Smartphone app to enable MyLink-projected navigation
It is fair to say that Chevrolet knows a little about SUVs, having invented the class over
75 years ago with the introduction of the Suburban Carryall in 1935. At the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the all-new Chevrolet Trax celebrates its world premiere, representing Chevrolet's first entry to the fast-growing small SUV segment. Trax will round out Chevrolet's offer of stylish SUVs alongside Captiva.
"Chevrolet has been known for its dependable and capable SUVs for many decades. Trax will deliver on all of the traditional Chevrolet values and more. It is a modern, highly versatile yet fuel-efficient small SUV, offering car-like handling and all-wheel drive," said Susan Docherty, President and Managing Director of Chevrolet Europe. "Trax is the modern expression of one of Chevrolet's core competencies, which is building and selling great SUVs," Docherty said.
Athletic stance, powerful body lines
Measuring 4,248 mm in length, 1,776 mm in width and 1,674 mm in height, Chevrolet's new small SUV will energize the segment with its inspired styling, a choice of three fuel-efficient engines and sporty, responsive ride characteristics.
From all angles, Trax conveys athletic agility and movement. With the golden bowtie separating the upper from the lower port of its prominent front grille, the small SUV can immediately be identified as a member of the Chevrolet family. The subtle centerline crease on the hood surface and the detailed halogen headlamps add to the vehicle's dynamic appearance.
While Trax' exterior is characterized by powerful body lines and a planted stance, engineers and designers have made sure the SUV is also aerodynamically refined. Its rearward swept roofline, a fascia-mounted air dam and an integrated roof spoiler contribute to the Trax' aerodynamic efficiency. Wheel offerings are 16 or 18-inches in size.
Three fuel-efficient engines and on-demand AWD system
With sufficient space to accommodate five persons in a comfortable high seating position, Trax will deliver car-like handling while also enabling true off-road capability when needed.
The engine line-up will comprise a 1.4L turbocharged gasoline unit, a 1.6L gasoline engine as well as a 1.7L diesel engine. Mated to a six-speed manual transmission, the 1.4L cranks out 140 hp (103 kW) and produces a maximum torque of 200 Nm while the 1.7L diesel engine will deliver a power output of 130 hp (96 kW), and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. All manual transmission variants come with Start/Stop functionality. Both the 1.7L diesel and the 1.4L* turbo gasoline engine will also be offered with a six-speed automatic gearbox.
Whereas the 1.7L diesel engine will require 4.5L/100 km when mated to a manual transmission, fuel consumption of the 1.4L turbo with the manual transmission will average 6.5 liters. CO2 emissions are 120 and 149 g/km, respectively.
An AWD system will be available on variants equipped with the 1.4L turbo gasoline or the 1.7L diesel engine. The system automatically adapts to the prevalent road conditions and significantly improves traction on slippery or graveled roads.
Rock-solid safety
An array of passive and active safety systems ensures that unexpected developments result in as little damage to the car's occupants as possible. Apart from a unibody structure consisting of high-strength steels, Trax will boast six standard airbags, a releasable pedal assembly and three-point seatbelts on all seats.
The vehicle will come with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) including Hill Start Assist (HSA), Traction Control (TC), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution. Hill Descent Control (HDC) is standard on LT trim vehicles.
Unique storage flexibility and connectivity
Inside, Trax delivers a message of clean sophistication that is complemented by useful convenience features such as an cluster combining digital readouts with analog displays. Chevrolet ice blue backlighting is incorporated on control interfaces as well as the instrument cluster.
Storage amenities in the new Trax are plentiful. They include various compartments above and on both sides of the center stack as well as an available under-seat storage tray. Trax' loading space can accommodate a maximum of 1370L; further space can be made available under the cargo floor.
In addition to a 60/40 split rear seat, Trax boasts a front passenger seat that can be folded flat, offering additional flexibility in the segment. Up to eight seating combinations are possible.
Upper trims of the Chevrolet Trax will feature Chevrolet MyLink as standard. Chevrolet MyLink is an infotainment system that aggregates content from smartphones onto the seven-inch, high resolution, full-color touchscreen display. A dedicated navigation app called Engis Bringo will become available early next year. It will project the route from the smartphone onto the system's touch-screen (see below).
With Chevrolet MyLink, phone calls can be conveniently placed by selecting a name from a stored directory and then touching the call function. The system provides easy access to personal playlists, photo galleries, phone books, other stored media and data. As long as the car remains stationary, occupants may also view videos or personalized slide shows. A rearview camera is part of the MyLink infotainment package and provides assistance during parking maneuvers.
Intuitive navigation with smartphone app
The Engis BringGo navigation app will be offered through online app stores, for download onto compatible smartphones (both IOS and Android). Its use is as straightforward as that of any integrated navigation system. Once the driver has connected the smartphone to Chevrolet MyLink and tapped the navigation icon, the main menu will appear on the seven-inch full color touchscreen. It offers a selection of easy-to-navigate submenus.
The smartphone app features Lane guidance which will help drivers by displaying the correct lane(s) to stay in. Live traffic will provide real-time traffic information, such as detailed incident reports and the ability to reroute to avoid traffic jams. The traffic service requires an active network connection through the smartphone.
An eco icon at the bottom of the BringGo main menu will enable drivers to estimate how far they can continue until their fuel is exhausted. An average and minimum eco-driving efficiency rating can be calculated for the past day, week or month.

Creighton's Center for Family Business to Hold First Event
Creighton Universitys new Center for Family Business will host its first continental breakfast and talk from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m., Thursday, Jan. 31, in the Presidents Lounge at Morrison Stadium. Andrew Keyt, executive director of the Family Business Center at Loyola University Chicago is the speaker.
Creightons Center for Family Business is designed to address the unique issues facing family owned businesses, such as maintaining work-life balance, bringing children into the business and succession planning. It will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and networking, while serving as a repository of information to assist families in the process of family ownership and transition.
Family businesses account for 50% of United States gross domestic product and 60% of the countrys employment. Only one in three family owned businesses successfully passes the torch to the next generation, and with more baby boomers planning to retire in the next 10 years, the risks associated with longevity in family businesses will be higher than ever.
We hope to engage the greater Omaha community with thought-provoking speakers, forums, printed materials and internet access to resources for family businesses, said Jerry Sherman, Ph.D., director of Creightons Center for Family Business. The value of the center will increase as families add their experience to that of the business and academic community, along with the help and encouragement of our sponsors.
Programs scheduled for 2008 include four breakfast sessions, a womens luncheon, an awards banquet and a half-day program on leadership. Family businesses can purchase center memberships and participate in events by calling Colleen Hendrick at (402) 280-5520.
For a complete schedule of events and more information about the Center for Family Business visit: http://www.creighton.edu/business/familybusiness/events/index.php
Creighton University is a Jesuit, Catholic university bridging health, law, business and the arts and sciences for a more just world.

I've neglected my blog for the past month, as I've been figuring out when to publish my romantic mystery, A Cry From The Deep. If you've been reading my blog, you know that I've rejected a few book covers for one reason or another.
The one I've chosen illustrates a woman from another time. She's the vision Catherine Fitzgerald sees in both her nightmares and underwater. The phantom beckons, but what does she want from Catherine, an underwater photographer, who's on assignment to photograph the discovery of one of the lost ships of the Spanish Armada? How these two women from different centuries intersect, and why, lies at the crux of my story. A love without end underlines it all.
As I've learned, it's not easy picking the right cover. I've seen publishers and successful authors try out a few before settling on one. And even then, it's not unusual for an author to go back and change it again. A cover speaks volumes. It hints at the story inside.
As for when my book is to be released, I've struggled with that as well. It's basically ready, but then I've noticed how careful traditional publishers are in deciding when to launch an author's book. I've learned that spring (a time of book fairs) and fall (ready for Christmas) are best, though I've also noticed that there are exceptions to the rule. J.K. Rowling and James Patterson have brought their novels out in summer, when supposedly everyone's at the beach or traveling. So, maybe it doesn't matter.
Though my book would make a good beach read, if I got it out now, before I've had a chance to read my proof—which arrives sometime this week—I could be making a terrible mistake. I've read that it's a good idea to read your proof twice and have someone else read it as well, not only for any grammatical errors that might've been overlooked, but also for sense. So, living by the adage, "haste makes waste", I've elected to publish it in October, a supposedly less hectic time for the reading public. One never knows though, does one? I've also started a Facebook page for my book, where I'll post more about my process and inspiration.
I'd love your comments on my cover, and also on whether you think there's a good time of year to publish a book. I'd love to hear from authors or readers about any of the above.

It's possible the most important non-fiction book this year won't be published on paper.
Tyler Cowen, an economist at George Mason and co-founder of the influential Marginal Revolution blog has just released an eBooklet called "The Great Stagnation: How America Ate All the Low-Hanging Fruit of Modern History, Got Sick and Will (Eventually) Feel Better."
I can't say run out to your bookstore and buy it today. You need an eReader. The good news is if you have a smart phone, it's easy to download a free Kindle app and then purchase the book that way. And it's short enough that reading it on your phone is a pleasure.
Cowen argues that the American economy had been coasting for centuries on three kinds of "low-hanging fruit": free, abundant land, technological breakthroughs and smart (albeit uneducated) kids. The country has put all three to good use over the last century and a half–utilizing all that cheap frontier space, adopting key industrial technologies from electric generation to telecommunications, and educating smart kids who in an earlier era would have remained unschooled. In the process America became enormously productive and wealthy. All this low-hanging fruit drove a sense that rapidly improving living standards and technological advance are an American birthright.
But there's much less of this low-hanging fruit than there once was. And that, in Cowen's telling, makes all the difference today.
Obviously the frontier has closed and cheap land is harder to find. And Cowen argues that the technological breakthroughs of today, while impressive, are not as economically significant–in terms of being platforms for new job creation–as those of the period 1880 to 1950. And whereas prior to 1900 many potential American geniuses were "kept down on the farm," never to realize their mental talents for the betterment of society, today any smart kid can receive at least a high school education and the truly gifted have many avenues for intellectual advance available to them.
In other words, the easy pickings driving rapid economic growth and advancement for 150 years are all used up. We have reached a plateau.
Why is this book important?
Cowen does a better job than many others of explaining what is responsible for "The Great Stagnation"–that since the 1970s, per capita median income growth has slowed and that income and wealth inequalities have grown.
Many of those on the political left, such as Paul Krugman, pin responsibility for this stagnation on the policies of Ronald Reagan or the deregulation of the 1970s. Many of those on the political right often deny the reality of some of what Cowen describes or blame expansive government for what has transpired.
One great virtue of Cowen's account is that he brings into the picture several overlooked trends that have played a large role in America's historical economic ascent. Once accounted for, the more politically-motivated accounts of the country's economic performance of the last 40 years are revealed to be incomplete at best (in the case of conservatives) or cartoonish at worst (in the case of Krugman). By upending the standard narratives that describe where the nation has been and where it's headed, the book will influence your sense of the politically and economically possible.
Of course, there's something deeply upsetting about his story, since it suggests there's not much that can be done about some problems the nation faces: if the low-hanging fruit is gone, slower growth and lower rates of innovation are likely inevitable. And when Cowen says we simply must accept that as a nation "we thought we were richer than we were," that's tough for any optimistic American to hear.
So is Cowen right? There are three observations worth making. First, there is one bit of low-hanging fruit Cowen fails to emphasize sufficiently that can be harnessed by the United States going forward – the emerging global middle class in the Far East, South Asia, Africa and Latin America. A market of middle class consumers this large is unprecedented; it's one the United States should be able to exploit for the next 100 years as emerging economies play economic catch-up with the developed world.
And Cowen doesn't put enough weight on the social decay that has driven some of the Great Stagnation, especially the decline of the two-parent family over the last several decades. The human, social and cultural capital that eroded as a result of the family's decline – or, as importantly, was never developed – is surely a factor in the nation's current economic state.
Lastly, it's possible Cowen overstates the degree to which innovation has slowed in recent decades. Indeed, his claim that innovation is slowing is the most controversial assertion, and the one that would have benefitted from greater explication.
But if you are looking for a provocative story that helps make sense of how the American economy is positioned today, this is a better guide than most things on the market.
A final note: not all the ideas in the book are Cowen's, a fact he freely acknowledges. Two influences stand out. One is Peter Thiel, the PayPal founder and Facebook investor who is, in my estimation, the most significant intellectual in Silicon Valley today. Readers familiar with Thiel's writings and talks will recognize some of the terrain Cowen covers. Another is Michael Mandel, formerly Business Week's chief economist, who has been charting technological trends and patterns in biotech and IT for years now.
In this manner, Cowen's book features just the sort of entrepreneurial recombination of ideas that yields new knowledge and understanding that has always driven long-run innovation. Here's hoping his eBooklet offering is a harbinger of an innovation explosion in the future.

High Blood Pressure: Silent but Deadly
Hypertension is a very common disorder, affecting approximately 50 million Americans. The number of hypertensive Americans tends to increase significantly after the age of 70. No society or ethnic group is immune from hypertension. Hypertension is most common in blacks, affecting about one out of three, followed by whites and Mexican Americans. Hypertension is also more common in men than women in every ethnic group up to age of 50. Hypertension is also more common in obese individuals, in diabetics and in those with a familial history of high blood pressure High blood pressure is a silent disease and many individuals have no idea that they even have it. But being silent does not mean that the disorder is harmless. In fact, untreated blood pressure is associated with complications that are irreversible and can be fatal. Among the risks of untreated high blood pressure are a heart attack, loss of the kidneys, blindness, stroke and even death. Unfortunately because high blood pressure has no symptoms during the initial phase of the disease, most people do not even now if they have it. The disorder is so common that by the age of 65-75, most individuals will develop it. The reason for this is that the blood vessels harden and lose their elasticity with age, and thus, the blood pressure increases. The only good thing about high blood pressure is that it is easily treated with medications – which is a life long process. There are two types of blood pressure: systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Systolic blood pressure (a larger number in a blood pressure reading) is the number on top. Diastolic blood pressure (usually smaller reading) is the number on the bottom.
Signs and symptoms
Unfortunately, the symptoms of high blood pressure are practically impossible to detect in the initial phase the disorder. Even individuals with extremely high blood pressure may not have any complaints. The few individuals who do develop high blood pressure symptoms may complain of – headaches – general malaise – visual blurring – frequent nose bleeds – dizziness

Reoccurring rumors of the iPhone 6 lead us to believe that it will be coming in two different sizes, where we will also see Apple discontinue the iPhone 5c. Now a new research note from KDB Daewoo Securities gives us a potential sneak peak into some other areas of Apple's next-generation handset.
This concept will never happen become a reality, but it's neat nonetheless
Reportedly the iPhone 6 will come in two screen sizes, 4.7 to 4.8 inches and 5.5 inches, supporting a resolution of 1080p and 2K (2272 x 1280) pixels respectively.
Apple will also finally open up the iPhone 6 to 128GB of storage, with 2GB of RAM and an 8MP rear-camera with a 3.2MP front-camera.
Rather than releasing an new firmware generation like iOS 8, Apple will instead ship the new devices with iOS 7.2 and will be launched at WWDC 2014. When you consider Apple's usual release cycle this seems quite unlikely since Apple usually focuses on iOS software at WWDC, and holds a separate event for iPhone in the September/October timeframe.
Feature like the larger screen sizes and increased storage are much demanded feature so it's exciting to think this could actually happen this year.

Fresno man sentenced for viewing hundreds of images of child pornography
FRESNO, Calif. - A Fresno man was sentenced for viewing hundreds of images of child pornography Tuesday, a representative of the Department of Justice announced.
Senior United States District Judge Anthony W. Ishii sentenced Jeffrey Lee Jordan, 57, to eight years and one month in prison for receiving child pornography, Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced.
The sentence imposed also includes a 15-year term of supervised release during which Jordan will be required to register as a sex offender; his access to minors, computers, and the Internet will be restricted. The court also ordered forfeiture of a computer and hard drive used to commit the offense. In addition, the court has scheduled a hearing on restitution for November 4, 2013, at which time the court will determine how to distribute $20,000 that Jordan presented to the court today.
"Each time an image of child pornography is viewed, that child is victimized again," said Mike Prado, resident agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations Fresno. "As a result of HSI's close collaboration with our law enforcement partners here in the Central Valley, this individual will be held accountable for his actions and spend many years behind bars, where he can no longer victimize innocent children."
According to court documents, Jordan admitted that between February 7, 2013, and March 6, 2013, he knowingly received more than 600 images of child pornography, several of which depicted prepubescent minors, violence, and sadistic or masochistic conduct. Jordan was arrested on April 5, 2013, and he was remanded into custody upon entry of his guilty plea on June 10, 2013.
This case is the result of an investigation by the Central California Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, particularly the Madera Police Department, Fresno County Sheriff's Department, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Clovis Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney David Gappa prosecuted the case.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute those who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

The Dawn Patrol (aka Flight Commander) is a 1930 World War I film starring Richard Barthelmess and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. It was directed by Howard Hawks, a former World War I flight instructor, who even flew in the film as a German pilot.[1] The Dawn Patrol won the Academy Award for Best Story for John Monk Saunders. It was subsequently remade in 1938, with the same title, while the original was renamed Flight Commander when re-released later.
During World War I, the pilots and crew of an RFC airbase deal with the stress of combat primarily through nightly bouts of heavy drinking. The two aces of the group, Courtney (Richard Barthelmess) and Scott (Douglas Fairbanks Jr), have come to hate the commanding officer, Brand (Neil Hamilton), blaming him for sending new recruits directly into combat.
Unknown to them, Brand has been arguing continually with his commanders to allow him practice time with the new pilots, but command is desperate to maintain air superiority and orders them into combat as soon as they arrive. Brand is so disliked by the two he cannot even easily join the men for the nightly partying, drinking alone and clearly breaking under the strain.
The tension grows worse when an elite German squadron led by the "Baron" [Note 1], takes up position on the front line across from them. After losing several of the squadron's veteran pilots, the ranks become increasingly made up of new recruits, who have absolutely no chance against the German veterans. In the midst of this, Brand is recalled to headquarters and Courtney is promoted to commander.
It is not long before Courtney also learns of the impossibility of the job, and his relationship with Scott quickly sours. Things grow considerably worse when Scott's brother appears as one of the new replacements. He then does his own pleading with headquarters, only to be refused, and his brother is killed on his first mission. When Scott volunteers for what amounts to a suicide mission far behind enemy lines, Courtney steals his aircraft and flies off in his stead. Courtney tries to land safely but dies. They learn at the end that due to their efforts they have been made to receive special mention by command for "checking the enemy advance." Then the new commanding officer reads news of their new replacements.

Although Ronald Colman was originally to be cast as the lead actor in The Dawn Patrol, Richard Barthelmess was offered by the studio.[1] Paramount Publix Corp. also loaned Actor Neil Hamilton and writer Seton I. Miller for the film. Principal photography began in February 1930 with exteriors shot at the Metropolitan Airport in Van Nuys, Newhall, and Sherwood Forrest in Southern California.[2]
In the midst of production, the studio was sued by Howard Hughes, through the Caddo Company and the Gainsborough Corporation. The suit alleged that The Dawn Patrol plagiarized his Hell's Angels (1930) production, also in production.[2] The lawsuit resulted in The Dawn Patrol being rushed through post-production in order to be in theaters before Hughes' competing film. In late 1930, Warner Bros. won the suit, although a contentious issue arose when both Howard Hawks and John Monk Saunders claimed ownership of the original idea behind the film.[Note 2] Hawks claimed he based the film on his own recollections while Saunders insisted that the screenplay was derived from the interviews of other veterans of World War I.[3]
Hawks attempted to create a realistic atmosphere, and assembled a variety of contemporary aircraft in a film squadron to shoot the flying scenes for The Dawn Patrol. He primarily used rebuilt Nieuport 28s as the aircraft for the British squadron, and Travel Air 4000s (reconfigured for films and popularly known as "Wichita Fokkers")[4][5] for German fighters. Neither was truly representative of the 1915 era that was portrayed.[6] Other aircraft in his small fleet included Standard J-1s for shots of entire squadrons, some of which were blown up in explosions, and Waterman–Boeing C biplanes for German aircraft destroyed in crashes.
The scene in which Scott takes off with Courtney clinging to the wing, switches to a shot of a Travel Air 4U Speedwing fitted with a round cowl over its Comet engine to resemble the Nieuports. Stunt pilots included Leo Nomis, Rupert Symes Macalister, Frank Tomick and Roy Wilson.[7] Several Thomas-Morse S-4 aircraft were used in the 1930 film. The S-4 was an American built fighter aircraft that did not see combat in World War I. Plentiful in 1930, the S-4s were becoming rare by the time the 1938 film was produced, hence the re-use of aircraft sequences from the original film.
The Dawn Patrol was an "instant success", one of the studio's most profitable films that year.[1] Later critical reviews noted that the "anti-war" message was more prevalent in the original film,[8] although due to the re-titling of Flight Commander, the film is often not as well known as its 1938 remake.[9] The flying sequences, one of the hallmarks of the film, were vividly shot and were easily integrated into the later remake.[10]
Despite the controversy over the origin of the screenplay for The Dawn Patrol, in 1931, Saunders won an Academy Award for Best Writing, Screenplay.[11]
The film was remade in 1938 with Errol Flynn replacing Barthelmess in the lead, David Niven playing Fairbanks, Jr.'s role, and Basil Rathbone in Neil Hamilton's part.[1]
Much of the flying sequences from the 1930 film, with several of the close-ups of the fighter aircraft, were re-edited verbatim into the 1938 movie, so as to save expense without having to search for or build new World War I era aircraft, but also due to the original sequences being expertly shot by Ernest Haller, his "cameraman of choice", brought in by Barthelmess.[1] All of the film of the munitions depot explosions were also edited into the remake with no changes.
When The Dawn Patrol aired on television, the film was retitled Flight Commander, Saunder's original title for the project, to differentiate from its 1938 remake. The original title frames were discarded and the redrawn titles are on all known prints of the film.[12]
Popular culture[edit]
A novelization of the 1930 film, entitled "The Dawn Patrol", was written by Guy Fowler and published by Grosset & Dunlap in 1930. Warner Brothers also released two Looney Tunes cartoons parodying this movie. Bosko starred in "The Dumb Patrol" (1931) and 33 years later, in 1964, Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam appeared in a second cartoon spoof also called "Dumb Patrol".[1]

County Fair Pork Chops
We just got back from a local festival and I am coming down off a pork chop high. Does anyone have a recipe for grilled pork chops like they do at fairs and festivals? It was a thick, bone in pork chop, served on a bun.
All I can tell you about it's awesome-ness is it is not BBQtype pork chop, it is not spicy, but incredibly flavorful. They state they use "17 spices" and they were cooked over a grill, the rest is just a haze after that. I'm assuming they were brined as they were very tender.. and did I mention -- they were fabulous!
help me .. i need more and the fair is over tomorrow!

Various Artists - 'For Folk's Sake It's Christmas 2013'
Festive-themed folk compilation stays just about on the right side of tweeMore on Various Artists
6 / 10 There will be gnashing of teeth. There will be rending of garments. And that's just on seeing the band names. But if you only buy one festive-themed folk compilation this Christmas, make it this one. As is often the case with such records, the quality veers wildly: many songs sound like they were recorded in the hope of landing the John Lewis ad (we're looking at you, Jessie Moncrieff & The Pollyanna Band), but there are enough flashes of oddball charm and whimsy – like Joe Innes & The Cavalcade's 'Santa Says "Relax"', or the Radiophonic Workshop barminess of Emperor Yes' 'Time Frog 4000' – spread across these 14 tracks to make it worth your while.

minimize disease and illness
do not cure anything
DO support your body so it can heal itself
= doctor
= prescribes medication
These medications (over-the-counter or prescriptions)
do not solve root problem
just mask the symptoms
often have negative side effects
Typically, when a person is sick they go to the doctor, and the doctor often prescribes medication to help the person feel better.
It is important to understand that these medications (either over-the-counter or prescriptions) do not solve the root problem, they just mask the symptoms.
Another problem with many medications is the fact that they often have negative side effects, so it is common for a person to take a medication to get rid of a certain set of symptoms only to discover that new health problems emerge as a result of the use of the medication.
Instead of masking the symptoms, it is better to focus on the root of the problem, which is the body's ability to fight illness and disease. Essential oils do just that: they support the body so that it is more able to minimize disease and illness, which in turn naturally reduces the symptoms associated with the health problem.
Using essential oils takes a mental shift, because we have been so conditioned to depend on medication and other unnatural medical treatments.
Essential oils do not cure anything, but they do support your body so that it can work to heal itself.

Alastair Cook scored 39 runs as he took to the crease for Essex against Cambridge MCCU at Fenner's yesterday.
The England captain, whose leadership of the Test side has come in for criticism following a disappointing Ashes series Down Under, was trapped lbw by Alasdair Pollock after facing 90 balls.
Cook's international colleagues Ravi Bopara and Monty Panesar are also involved for the first-class county, as are Mildenhall duo Tymal Mills and Tom Westley.
Essex ended a rain-affected day on 249 for 6.

Susquehanna to Open Center for Adolescent Research
Published on November 4, 2011
11/7 update: Listen to a dialogue between President L. Jay Lemons and Stephen Wallace '81, director of the newly created Center for Adolescent Research and Education at Susquehanna University. The dialogue was recorded on Nov. 5 during Family Weekend, and was moderated by Cheryl Stumpf, counselor and outreach coordinator with the university. (Click on link to play. Download by right clicking and selecting "save target as.")
Susquehanna University is opening a new research center focused on adolescent development, attitudes and behaviors.
The Center for Adolescent Research and Education (CARE) at Susquehanna University will study factors in teen decision-making and will operate under the direction of Stephen Wallace, a 1981 graduate who comes back to Susquehanna after 15 years as board chair and CEO of the national SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) organization, and three decades of work as a school psychologist, adolescent counselor, researcher, author and motivational speaker.
"We are delighted that a nationally recognized researcher and educator such as Stephen Wallace will direct this new center," said University President L. Jay Lemons. "In terms of health and safety, the stakes have never been higher for today's teens. The work that CARE at Susquehanna conducts on youth and family issues will not only benefit our region, but will provide an important resource nationally."
Michael D. Smith, associate professor of psychology at Susquehanna, will serve as academic research coordinator and facilitate collaborations that involve faculty and students in the center's research.
"SADD has established a leadership role in designing and conducting original research into adolescent attitudes and behaviors," said Wallace. "At Susquehanna, we will continue to go beyond just 'what' teens are doing to analyze the 'whys' of teen behavior. And we will create communication tools to empower parents and other adults to play a more active role in guiding the choices young people make on their way to maturity."
The center will pursue private and public funding to support research on teens and tweens, including personal development, underage drinking and other drug use, sexual behavior, driving, bullying, violence and suicide. SADD, the nation's leading youth-based peer-to-peer education, prevention and activism organization, (formerly Students Against Driving Drunk) will collaborate with Susquehanna's CARE in research projects.
On Dec. 1 in Boston, SADD will hold a "Friends for Life Inaugural Gala" at the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library and Museum to honor Wallace's years of service to youth and families and to mark SADD's 30th anniversary. A portion of the proceeds will help fund future CARE at Susquehanna University research. Susquehanna President Lemons will co-chair the event with Gloria Larson, president of Bentley University.
An advisory board will be appointed to help guide the new center. It will include representatives of Susquehanna University's administration and faculty as well as prominent individuals in the fields of psychology, sociology, medicine, business, and secondary and higher education.
Wallace is the author of "Reality Gap," rated as one of the top 50 books for parents of tweens and teens. He has directed many "Teens Today" research studies for SADD and is a frequent contributor to broadcast stories on teen behavior for outlets such as NBC's "Today" Show, CNN, Fox News Channel and others. He has served as spokesperson for the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and is a frequent speaker at national conferences. Wallace is a member of the DUI Committee for the Institute for Behavior and Health in Washington, D.C. He has authored more than 65 op-ed articles on youth development and decision-making in newspapers around the country.

The Pizza Hut Delivery From Hell
Back in March I wrote about Pizza Hut's foray into the pasta business. So, finally about a year after its launch, and having just obtained a gift card from my sister to the popular chain as a Valentine's Day gift to me and my wife, I decided that we would try their Meaty Marinara Baked Tuscani Pasta. We had ordered a delicious stuffed crust pizza on Monday with the card with impeccable service, I might add. I was curious at the quality of their pasta and was interested in trying it, but I couldn't have possibly imagined at how eventful my first order would become.
My wife called the Pizza Hut number and their operator was having extreme difficulties with not only taking down the order correctly, but also with copying the numbers she was reading to her from both the gift card and the debit card that we used to place the order. Tthe $20 gift card had about $6 left after ordering the pizza earlier in the week. After many attempts, the order was finally placed and the with delivery promised within 45 minutes.
In a relatively timely manner, we heard a loud pickup truck coming down the street that we figured was probably the pizza delivery man. We were correct.
What transpired next was a combination of comical, terrifying, disturbing, and frustrating.
Before I delve into details about the episode that I will deem the "(non) Food Delivery from Hell", I'll go into some background. We live in a inner-ring suburb on a quiet street. Like a lot of older neighborhoods in the Cleveland area, our street has an alley-way in the back where we park our cars. I have lived in the house for a little over six years, and have had many meals delivered here. And while some express surprise that there is no driveway in the front, no one has ever driven up on the lawn.
Until now.
The gentleman, who slowed down and first expressed caution as there was probably little traction that the snow covered turf was providing, flew up the lawn and came dangerously close to hitting the house and probably caused a good deal of damage to lawn that was wet from yesterday's day long downpour. As a homeowner, I was understandably annoyed at what had just happened and told the man that he had just completely turfed my lawn (a first and most likely the last time this happens unless he comes back tonight in anger, which I don't entirely dismiss as he showed extreme anger issues to go along with his incompetency). I added he was an idiot for doing so, in a matter of fact non confrontational way, mind you. I didn't think I was out of line for expressing my frustration towards him, considering he had just done a lot of damage to my property. However, instead of expressing regret or apologizing he flipped out. And I mean flipped out to the point of scary.
The pizza delivery man who drove the black Ford pickup truck started hurling insults at me (calling me a fat (insert four letter word)), made it apparent that he wanted to have a physical confrontation with me (for a second I thought he would attack me in my own house), said that I should place a sign out front that states I don't have a driveway, and scared my pregnant wife half to death with his outrageous and dangerous behavior.
After getting him (somewhat) calmed down, I took a look at the bill I was to sign to complete the transaction. To my dismay, the people at the store failed to credit the gift certificate to the order. Not knowing if they had charged the nominal amount to the gift card that we intended to use, I told him that I could not sign the receipt because I may have been overcharged if they did, in fact, charge the amount on the gift card. The man then stormed back to his car with the food that we had ordered. His "(non food) Delivery of Terror" came to an end when he floored his loud truck in reverse to the already damaged lawn purposely looking to wreak more havoc to the distressed turf.
I proceeded to call the Pizza Hut customer service line to lodge a complaint. After waiting for a long period on hold, I was able to convey the crazy story to the personnel on staff who offered a free meal and promised I would not be charged on the order that had already been rung up. The female on the other was helpful and apologetic and offered to send out a free meal to compensate us, but lord knows what they would have done to our food if we had taken them up on that offer, so I declined. Perhaps the most head scratching thing about the whole pasta order gone terribly wrong was how the person who took the order originally had the name on the debit card as Andre and not Eugene which had to be spelled out the worker on the phone twice.
To be clear, I normally am not the type of person that complains about customer service. People that have jobs dealing with people and who probably aren't making the best money do not deserve scorn, and this incident would never have even been written about, but it is so outrageous that I think I had to share it with my readers.
I guess the moral of the story would be, if you want an eventful night you can order pasta from Pizza Hut. I highly doubt that it would as eventful as my order gone completely awry.
***While finishing the story, the man in the black pickup truck did, in fact, come back to take pictures of the tracks of mud that he left in his wake. I would presume that the folks over at Pizza Hit customer service probably asked about the incident. And no, he did not bring any pizza or come back to apologize for his remarks to me or the fact that he was (non verbally) challenging to a fight***
Latest News:
I have had their pasta dishes,and liked them very much.I feel bad for you,but my experiences with Pizza Hut have always been very good.As far as being a fat @#$%,maybe you shouldn't be ordering Pizza Hut food .
Why didn't you just call the police immedieatly when the delivery guy drove up on your lawn? That's criminal damage to property. The fact that he then tried to challenge you to a fight was assault, and he could have been arrested on the spot for that. In fact, you could call police now and have him arrested. Your wife was a witness. It would also make the driver more liable (and likely) to pay for the damage to the lawn.
There's no way you should have even thought about accepting delivery, or discussed paying for it.
You know, it was such a freaky thing that happened that I didn't even think of calling the police. When the guy came back really creaped me out. I hope there isn't too much damage to the lawn but cannot be too sure as it is snowy but I do see noticeable tread marks so we'll see. The thing that I am really concerned about is the walkway as it is cement and he could have done some major damage to it but the snow has to melt for me to be 100% sure.
I honestly have never had to call the police in all my 32 years on this planet and it didn't even really register that I should do that but got lectured by an older brother to the fact when I conveyed him the story this morning.
***While finishing the story, the man in the black pickup truck did, in fact, come back to take pictures of the tracks of mud that he left in his wake. I would presume that the folks over at Pizza Hit customer service probably asked about the incident.

More likely he was taking pictures to show his buddies what he did and brag to them. I doubt customer service was that fast. He'll probably get a call the next day and that's when he'll come back to fight some more.
I disagree - most likely he took pictures in case you sue him for damage property to prove how big real damage was.
I refuse to eat @ Pizza the hut after an incident in Tiffin, Ohio a few years back. A friend (who is black) and the most gentilist man I ever met was basicly denied service because of his skin tone. He waited to be seated for over half an hour . finally he just left. but we always boycotted that place ever since.
Even if you can't see the damage, there probably is some. You should file a police report for property damage and/or assault (tell the police and let them decide). At the minimum, PH should pay for any repairs to your lawn and sidewalk.
Take lots of pictures yourself, too.
A sorry story ... a guy accidentally drives onto a lawn because it is covered with snow.
You insult the guy, he insults you, I read here about 'criminal damage to property', 'suing' ... if this is the way you Americans treat each other, I feel sad for you!
why, yes it is how we treat each other; if if will make you "unsad"/happy you can lick me
I agree! I feel bad for the delivery guy. Makes an honest mistake and then this asshole treats him like shit and acts shocked when the driver treats him the same way back. Pathetic.
I ordered my pizza at 7:12pm and they said it would be a 35 minutes for delivery, but it is 10:16pm and i still haven't recieved my pizza!
I am hungry already, I think I could use some pizza delivery. I never tried Pizza Hut though, I wish I did since most of you have built an entire "industry" around it. Who invented pizza anyway? Does anybody know?

Diploria labyrinthiformis is a species of brain coral, so-named because of its appearance.
The coral lives in shallow water habitats, such as reefs. A single-celled symbiotic algae lives within its cells and so it can only survive in water which receives enough light for photosynthesis to take place.
Corals are very sensitive to environmental changes and coral reef populations are declining rapidly, with global warming one of the factors responsible.
The skeletons of pristine living forms of Diploria labyrinthiformis consist, like all other scleractinian corals, of the mineral aragonite, a form of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
In older specimens, and especially fossilised forms, this changes into calcite (CaCO3) or other minerals.
Ocean acidification is an additional threat to corals with hard skeletons because calcium carbonate dissolves in acid, so they cannot form their skeletons properly in an acidic environment.
The grooved brain coral is made up of intergrown, valley-like structures. Learn more about its growth and form.

A symbiotic organism is one that lives closely with another organism of a different species in a prolonged way. This association is referred to as symbiosis and is often, but not always, mutally beneficial.

When she was a little girl, Kadi Doumbia dreamt of being married and having a family. But she never equated marriage with suffering. And she never dreamt that it would threaten her life.
Just before she was married, as a young girl, she underwent Female Genital Mutilation - a cutting of part or all of the exterior female sex organs. Already a potentially fatal procedure, lingering conditions can include incontinence, scarring, and severe menstrual pain.
The combination of giving birth at a young age, coupled with the impact of this procedure led to Kadi having excessive abdominal bleeding, followed by days of paralysis that came close to taking her life.
Now at 43 years old, Kadi is waging a war on this traditional practice and cultural ideas that almost took her life and left her children motherless. And with the help of Plan Mali and another local NGO - Development Research and Support, she is succeeding. In her community, where roughly 98% of all girls underwent genital mutilation - for two years now - no girl has been subjected to FGM again.
I've just returned from Tanzania, another country where the link between FGM and early marriage is only too evident. According to the World Health Organization, around 15% of all women aged 15-49 have undergone genital mutilation and - although Tanzania has seen progress over the past few years in reducing child marriage - today, one in six girls aged 15-19 is married.
It was while visiting a remote corner in the far north east of the country that the sheer magnitude of child marriage became clear.
I was told of a mobile health clinic that was performing sterling work immunizing young women of perceived child bearing age against tetanus. The age of these girls? As young as 12 years old. Cultural norms decreed that these girls, members of the Masai tribe, were expected to give birth as soon as they reached puberty.
For many Tanzanian girls, the gauntlet of gender based violence begins before they leave school. I visited a secondary school where Plan had built a dormitory where girls could sleep during the week while attending schools – a simple project with far-reaching consequences.
Zina, a slightly built 14-year-old student, told me how before the dormitory was built, here classmates would be attacked as they hiked long distances along dirt track roads to reach school. The alternative was to stay in the nearest village where they would be abused or set to work on household chores by host families.
In the year before the dormitory was completed, nine secondary school students got pregnant and dropped out, compared to not a single one since completion - effective aid indeed.

As I was talking to her, I noticed a bright orange extension cord plugged in to the wall right behind the desk. It looked like somebody had tried to hide it behind the planter box. But it wouldn't be easily hidden. I noticed it took a right turn down the hallway to the left of her desk and went into an office two or three doors down.
I asked her, "What's with the orange extension cord?"
She replied, "What orange extension cord?"
I pointed it out and said, "That one, right behind you."
"Oh," she said as she turned, "That's been there a while."
I thought to myself, "Really? It's bright orange!"
Later in the week after I had settled in and we were having an executive planning meeting I casually asked Paul and Dan about the unsightly orange extension cord in the entryway foyer. I was quite surprised with another "What orange extension cord?" Then they seemed to remember and one of them rehearsed that somebody in the office had a circuit in their office that kept tripping the breaker and ran the cord to their office so they could work and plug in a small fridge.

Gilligan not second guessing pitching decision
Lamar University baseball coach Jim Gilligan will not second-guess his decision to start junior Zach Boulanger even after he failed to get out of the first inning in a second straight start. Boulanger let four of the first five batters reach base and all four scored Thursday in Lamar's 4-1 loss to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi […] [Read More]
Gilligan tries new sport at Vincent-Beck
Lamar University baseball coach Jim Gilligan hit golf balls Sunday at Vincent-Beck Stadium before practice. I asked assistant coach Scott Hatten if Gilligan regularly hit golf balls on the field.

Michael Strahan On His Gap: 'I Don't Want To Be Perfect'
Michael Strahan and Nicole Murphy were Christmas Card photo type of cute last week as they attended a Toast To The Holidays party in New York City. They hit the party dressed in gold and black as they popped champagne in honor of the upcoming holidays.
Meanwhile, Michael seems to be enjoying his new high profile gig as the host of Live With Kelly And Michael which means that he's on television in HD every single day. It also means that there is way more pressure to fit into the entertainment industry's standard of beauty than when he was playing football under a helmet. Although perfect smiles are the norm for his new line of work, according to Michael's latest interview, he's just not interested in changing his signature gap-toothed smile. He told Elle Magazine:
I was really close to closing it up. I was at the dentist having him do mock-ups. I thought about it, man.
I was in my twenties. I was playing with the Giants. There's so much pressure to be perfect. You can fix everything now. For me, I made the conscious effort to say "This is who I am." I'm not perfect. I don't want to try to be perfect.
Some people have signature birth marks, moles and other defects but that's what makes them unique. It's good to see that he's confident and doesn't want to change for anyone else.
Embrace the gap!

I saw this product on the Dr. Oz show. They said that it would explode fat cells so that they can be passed out through your waste. I've been taking two pills a pay for three weeks. I haven't lost much pound wise but fat doesn't weigh much. I have lost some inches. I didn't measure myself so I don't know how much. I do know that the shorts that I could barely button a month ago, fit comfortably now. Not only that, but within just a few days of taking theae I started feelin better. I have more energy & feel better all around. I've been recommending this product to everyone

I heard about this supplement from Dr. Oz. I was personally concerned with my heart health. I did not expect to feel so much better. iHerb delivery was prompt and was as expected. I would definitely reorder again from iHerb.

okay, but it contains maltodextrin and I don't see the point:capsules don't need fancy additives.

I originally bought to help with weight loss, but I did not see much results in that area. I do think that it has helped my skin. It seems to be clearer and softer.

The Sony hack, the latest in a wave of company security breaches, exposed months of employee emails. Other hacks have given attackers access to sensitive information about a company and its customers, such as credit-card numbers and email addresses. One way hackers can sneak into a company is by sending fake emails with malicious links to employee inboxes.
