British Airways - To Fly. To Serve. See how these four words have guided us in the past and will lead us in to the future Join the conversation at http://www.facebook.com/britishairways Transcript: Those first young men, the pioneers, the aviators building super highways in an unknown sky. Leaving wives and children in their snug homes, with just a kiss and a promise to return. Roaring into the clouds to battle wind and stars. Their safety systems built of brain and heart. They landed where there were no lights. Transforming strange names from tall tales into pictures on postcards home. And those next young men, travelling further, faster, higher than any in history and the ones who followed them, who skimmed the edge of space, the edge of heaven, the edge of dreams. (Speedbird 1, Speedbird 1.... cleared for take off) And we follow them up there to live by an unbreakable promise. The same four words stitched into every uniform of every captain who takes their command. To Fly. To Serve.

At some places, the servings are so great that you can count on getting a pair of meals from the order.
If you go
What: Nana's Seafood & SoulWhere: 176 Line St.Hours: 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Friday, 2-7 p.m. SaturdayFor more: 937-0002
Not so at Nana's Seafood & Soul, where three meals is the better baseline.
But volume is only one measure of performance. We'll need to check underneath the hood — or in Nana's case, the container flap.
Behold, the Nana's Seafood Dinner: a $15 jumbo sampling of fried shrimp, whiting, scallops, oysters and deviled crab. Piled high with little space to spare, it's hard to even see the white Styrofoam container supporting the feast.
And what a feast it is.
The oysters are top-of-the-line, like lil' fluffy popcorn bites ready for intake. Though best might be the deviled crab, which is fashioned into a ball shape to crown the pile. It's sneaky spicy with a fine medley of seasonings and crab meat. The rest is cooked to a golden finish, heated well — not too hot — with a winning, crispy texture.
Enjoy the tangy Thousand Island-y, tartar-y dipping sauce, too, which is actually surprisingly close to In-N-Out Burger's secret sauce.
Should you feel less ambitious, the items can be ordered as individual meals ($7-$11.75) or as combinations ($9-$13). Or if your appetite begs for something different (or slightly different — it's still mostly fried), choose from turkey wings, flounder, deep-fried ribs, crab stuffing or crab purloo, the latter of which also is recommended.
Sides vary from red rice, lima beans, macaroni and cheese, and potato salad to fried oyster Caesar salad.
Expect around 30 minutes for your food, as Nana's cooks to order.
Accommodations are limited, too; only four two-tops make up the seating. But as a neighborhood spot, Nana's meets its obligations, serving up terrific, homespun meals for everyone.

One can drive into the drive-thru area and take the food on the go. They can also choose to dine inside the restaurant as well. The restaurant menu is available along the back wall behind the counter in local fast food restaurants such as Burger King or McDonalds. The restaurant menu is also available to view when going through the drive-thru window. The menu lists all of the available food and drink options. When you are dining at Burger King or McDonalds you need to think on your feet very quickly so you can be ready for your order.

Chapter 1
Sex on the Brain
Passion, infatuation, romance, "the hots," obsessive love, beer goggles . . . these are the words we use to describe those feelings of ecstasy, elation, bliss, and rapture that almost all people will experience in some way at some time in their lives.With them come the feelings of anguish, distress, pain, agony, torment, and grief. For thousands of years, experts have tried, with little success, to define romantic love, usually concluding that it must be controlled somehow by forces outside ourselves, suchas the mystical, supernatural, or spiritual. Yet we have no difficulty in pigeonholing other human emotions, like depression, anxiety, obsession, and fear.
Since the 1970s, humans have experienced a deep spiritual yearning for love. This yearning is caused by the breakdown of the social structures that gave us intimate connections with friends, family, and lovers and was the norm for thousands of years. Weevolved as a species that cared for our young; protected, loved, and depended on each other; and stuck together as social and family units. The older generations cared for the children, while the middle generation worked or collected food. In the evenings,the older generations told children stories and taught them about their heritage and about life. This kind of family structure now exists only in primitive cultures, parts of the Middle East, Asia, the Mediterranean, and Third World cultures. And as more andmore people are staying single or living alone, this cultural chasm continues to widen. For a million years or more, societies have been structured to bring men and women together; today's societies, however, are driving them apart. The erosion of the basicfamily structure has led to loss of values, kids growing up without fathers, and emotional chaos.
Same Goals, Different Agendas
Men and women have very different agendas when it comes to sex and love, and these are deeply embedded in our ancient past. In basic terms, today's men are turned on by visual images and by the signs of a woman's health, fertility, and youth, where aswomen are turned on by the markers of a man's power, status, commitment, and material resources--just as their ancestors were. In fact, nothing much has really changed for hundreds of thousands of years in terms of our sexual urges and drives. This can be anunpopular idea in a politically correct world in which it has become fashionable to say that men and women want the same things in life and have the same motivations, preferences, and urges, but as you read on, you will see that this is simply not true. Infact, deep down you know it's not. This myth is perpetuated by powerseekers such as bureaucrats, church leaders, feminist groups, and other politically motivated individuals. It may be politically correct to say that men and women think the same way and wantthe same things, but if you have had any experience living with them, working with them, or managing them, you'll know that it isn't true.
The Power of Love
David Buss, professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, is internationally recognized for his evolutionary research on human sex differences in mate selection. He and his team searched for evidence of romantic love in 147 cultures. Theydiscovered empirical proof of romantic love in cave drawings, manuscripts, poems, songs, and books. Most people see only the positive sides of love when they think about it--they imagine staring into a lover's eyes, holding hands, singing love songs, makinglove, and warm, fuzzy feelings, all the "happily-ever-after" stuff--but love also has a dark side. Buss and other researchers found evidence spread throughout human history of love potions, love charms, love spells, suicide, and murder motivated by love wonor lost. In fact, one in four murders is the result of love gone wrong. Spouses, lovers, rivals, stalkers, and jilted lovers everywhere die as a result. Almost every culture has its equivalent of the Romeo and Juliet story. The dramatic urge to love fills uswith exhilaration, despair, fear, or revenge, often all at the same time.
And because romantic love is universal and every human culture on earth has it, there must be a biological basis for it. In other words, it can't simply be a cultural tradition, like idol worship or religion; love is something that is very powerful andis hardwired into each of us.
The Biology of Love
Scientists who have been researching how the human brain operates when a person is in love have concluded that there are three distinct brain systems for mating and reproduction--lust, romantic love, and long-term attachment.
Each of these systems is associated with distinct hormone activity that cause specific feelings and behavioral changes in lovers. When you think of love in terms of these three systems, it makes it easier to follow what stage a person is in and to betterunderstand that person's actions.
The purpose of this chapter is to help you understand the basic brain functions that govern lust, romantic love, and long term attachment. We have attempted to keep the explanations as brief and simple as possible. Where we talk about specific areas ofthe brain, it's important to understand that the brain regions discussed are usually part of an overall brain network, and we thank Professor Graeme Jackson of the Brain Research Institute in Melbourne for his suggestions in this area. We have simplified thingshere to make them more accessible to our readers; at the same time, we are conscious of not oversimplifying these ideas and concepts. It is vital to have this knowledge of the research because it's referred to throughout this book. We use medical terminologyfor the technically inclined, but you will only need to understand its significance in relation to your love life. We will be discussing principles that operate most of the time for most people, not how minorities or the exceptions behave.
Love has been shown to be the result of a specific group of chemicals and brain circuits working in specific areas of the brain. In simple scientific terms, love is triggered by a combination of brain chemicals, including dopamine, oxytocin, testosterone,estrogen, and norepinephrine; in much the same way, these chemicals drive other mammals to find suitable partners. Once our brain has identified a suitable partner based on certain criteria, which are discussed later, the brain goes into overdrive to producethe chemicals necessary to create the environment to attract that person.
Throughout human history, marriages were an arranged event based on wealth, status, family rivalries, tribal groups, and politics. Today, this approach has generally disappeared from the Western world and most people now marry for love.
When it comes to mate selection, humans focus their attention on just one person. This distinguishes them from most other animals. A courting male pigeon, for example, will puff up his feathers and approach as many potential partners as his energy willallow. Humans, however, usually have a short list of candidates but intensely target just one.
Love at First Sight
The phenomenon of "love at first sight" has been scientifically proved and affects most animal species in much the same way.
Ray was shopping in the supermarket when he glanced between the cornflake packets into the candy aisle. What he saw overwhelmed him, and he experienced a euphoric feeling, almost as if he was intoxicated. Standing there was a woman who simply capturedhis heart. She was not beautiful in the usual sense, but there was something unique about her and the way she moved. All he knew was that he felt magnetically drawn to her. Just looking at her filled him with excitement and gave him butterflies in his stomach.
While he experienced these feelings of elation at discovering her, however, he had at the same time a sense of despair because he would never have her.
If you've ever experienced love at first sight, your brain was producing huge amounts of the chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine, which make you feel almost as if you are on drugs. The same things happen to other animals. Take, for example, the femaleprairie vole, which is similar to a desert rat. If you expose a female prairie vole to even a tiny scent of male vole urine, she experiences exactly the same chemical reaction humans do: a surge of dopamine and norepinephrine. One study demonstrated that whenfemale sheep that are in heat are shown images of male sheep, norepinephrine levels in their brains surge. Although this effect lasts for seconds or minutes for most animals, it can last for months or years in humans.
Scientists now agree that love at first sight is a real phenomenon. Scientists working in this area also believe that in a stable society in which people are not under the threat of death or war, lust, romantic love, and long-term attachment may be thebest and most efficient way to ensure species survival.
Darwin Made Me Do It
Lust is brought on by surges in sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. These hormones cause an urgent push for physical gratification. During lust, two key parts of the brain become active--the hypothalamus, which controls our primordial drives,such as thirst and hunger, and the amygdala, which is a center for arousal. Dopamine is secreted heavily during lust, and it triggers the production of testosterone, causing sexual attraction to occur. It happens when you first see someone and have an overwhelmingurge to "have" that person.
A study conducted in 2006 at the University of Chicago demonstrated that even during a casual chat with a female stranger testosterone levels shoot up by a third in men and that the stronger this hormonal reaction, the more dramatic the changes in a man'sbehavior. The study also showed testosterone readings in married men and fathers are significantly lower than in single males who are "playing the field" because the fathers have moved into a nurturing, parental role and have higher oxytocin levels than singlemen, who are still searching for somewhere to pass on their genes.
Lust obviously evolved to lead to procreation and to ensure the survival of the human species and would have been necessary in extremely difficult survival circumstances when there was no time for romance. Also, human females can bear only one offspringa year, which means that without lust, the human species could be threatened with extinction--because we are slow reproducers, Mother Nature made us enthusiastic procreators. This is why people in dangerous and threatening situations, such as wartime, can suddenlyfind themselves lusting after each other even though they are strangers. If their lives are in danger, they have the immediate urge to pass on their genes.
In summary, lust, love at first sight, and the obsessive, goaldriven aspects of early love are behaviors that evolved to speed up mating and provide a better chance for successful human reproduction.
Let's Stick Together
Testosterone is the main hormone responsible for the sex drive, and men have ten to twenty times more of it than women. This is why the male sex drive is strong and so urgent. Testosterone makes men hairier, bigger, stronger, more aggressive, and hornierthan women. But men have significantly less oxytocin than women. Oxytocin, known as the "cuddle hormone," is released in large quantities in men and women during orgasm. As quickly as a man can get an erection, his oxytocin dissipates, which is the reason whyafter-sex cuddles have great importance to women and limited appeal to men.
A study in 2006 by Rebecca Turner, Ph.D., professor in the Organizational Psychology Division of Alliant International University in San Francisco, showed that this hormone is the glue of human emotional bonding. When people are pairbonding--or "fallingin love," as we call it--oxytocin levels are high. This is the hormone that gives us the warm, fuzzy feeling we have for the person of our desire. Having higher levels of oxytocin than men is a major reason why women fall more deeply in love at the start ofa new relationship than men do. The more oxytocin they produce, the more nurturing they will be and the more deeply they will bond with someone. Just hearing their lover's name, an odor associated with him, fantasizing about him, or hearing a song connectedwith him raises oxytocin levels. Expensive outfits, perfect makeup, loads of jewelry, and a new sports car cannot disguise a woman's emotional condition. If she feels loved and adored, her hormones push blood into her cheeks, making her "glow," and she willradiate warmth. If she feels unloved and ignored, however, that's easy to see, too.
The studies by David Buss showed that when couples are in the falling-in-love phase, men's testosterone levels decrease and their oxytocin levels rise to make the bonding process quicker. This makes men softer, gentler, and more easygoing. At the sametime, women's testosterone levels rise with the excitement and confidence they feel at the start of a new relationship. This increased testosterone makes women hornier, giving the couple the illusion that male and female sex drives must be the same. When this"shagathon" period ends, about three to nine months into a new relationship, their sex drives return to the "default position," leaving a man with the idea that she's gone off sex and giving her the impression that he's a sex maniac. Many relationships end at this point.

Health insurer seeks rate hikeJune 03,2014
MONTPELIER — Vermont's largest health insurance provider wants to raise its rates by an average of 9.8 percent for people and small businesses covered through the state's health benefits exchange, Vermont Health Connect.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont says it's asking the Green Mountain Care Board to approve the rate increases for 2015.
Blue Cross covers about 58,000 Vermonters through the health care exchange. Blue Cross has about 200,000 customers in the state. Customers not covered through the exchange are not affected by this increase.
Blue Cross President Don George says the company recognizes the increase could be difficult for many members covered through the exchange.
He says the factors driving the rate increase are almost entirely related to federal policy changes and increases in prices paid to medical providers in Vermont.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The League of Women Voters of Vermont will be taking part in National Voter...

The world's agricultural production must shift to more sustainable patterns - including greater respect for ecosystems services and less waste - in order to feed the world's rapidly increasing population by 2050, said UNEP Executive Director and UN Under-Secretary-General Achim Steiner as he addressed the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture last week
The Forum, which was held during International Green Week in Berlin, gave hundreds of representatives from the worlds of politics, business, science and civil society chance to share ideas on agricultural policy within the context of food security.
The Forum's 2014 theme was "Empowering Agriculture: Fostering Resilience - Securing Food and Nutrition"
In the context of the meeting, Mr. Steiner met with a number of key Environment and Agricultural Ministers, including Germany's newly appointed Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety, Dr. Barbara Hendricks
They discussed issues related to climate protection, investments for sustainable management and preparations for the first meeting of the United Nations Environment Assembly of the UNEP (UNEA), which will take place in Nairobi in June 2014
Speaking at the Forum during a Working Meeting organized by UNEP, he stressed that, by 2050, the Earth will likely need to feed some 9 billion people with the same amount of land, water and natural resources it has now
He added that, in order for increases in agricultural production to be sustainable, humanity must reduce its massive loss and wastage of food, as outlined in a soon-to-be-launched UNEP study entitled: Food Wasted, Food Lost : Improving Food Security by Restoring Ecosystems and Reducing Food Loss.
"According to the report, as much as 1.4 billion hectares of land are used to produce the total amount of food that is lost and wasted, estimated by FAO at a staggering 1.3 billion tonnes a year", said Mr. Steiner.
"This translates to more than 100 times the area of tropical rainforest that is being cleared every year (13 million hectares) of which 80 per cent is used for agricultural expansion", he added
Food loss occurs mostly at the production stages harvesting, processing and distribution while food waste typically takes place at the retailer and consumer end of the food-supply chain
In industrialized regions, almost half of the total food squandered, around 300 million tonnes annually, occurs because producers, retailers and consumers discard food that is still fit for consumption
That amounts to more than the total net food production of Sub-Saharan Africa, and would be sufficient to feed the estimated 870 million hungry in today's world
At the same time, said Mr. Steiner, up to 25 per cent of the world's food production - an amount that could feed up to 2.4 billion people annually - might be lost by 2050 due to climate change, land degradation, cropland losses, water scarcity and infestations
"In order to ensure that food production is increased to meet the demands of the additional 2.6 billion people expected to inhabit the planet by 2050, it is important that food producing ecosystems are protected and degraded ecosystems are restored", said Mr. Steiner
Agricultural production - which is dependent on services provided by healthy natural ecosystems, from pollination and water purification to climate change adaptation - remains the single most important sector in providing the basic necessities for human existence and livelihoods today
It is therefore critical to consider the values of ecosystems and biodiversity to the agricultural sector, as well as to human health, livelihoods and wellbeing
A new study by the Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) and the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC), to be launched this year, finds that without healthy ecosystems, agricultural systems may suffer if not collapse entirely.
"A profound change of the global food and agriculture system is needed if we are to nourish today's 925 million hungry and the additional 2 billion people expected by 2050", said Mr. Steiner
"Recognizing that agriculture, water, land, forests , food production and consumption are all connected, the answer to providing food security while maintaining ecosystems lies in pursuing a holistic approach that incorporates climate-smart agriculture and a landscape approach", he added
"A landscape approach means managing the land, water, and forest resources necessary to meet an area's food security needs and promoting inclusive green growth as one integrated system."

I need some freelancers who understand what is the function of a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) in any company (that will make this task very easy).
Here is some explanation about CTO
A chief technology officer (CTO), sometimes known as a chief technical officer, is an executive-level position in a company or other entity whose occupant is focused on scientific and technological issues within an organization. CTO is an executive who is responsible for the management of an organization's research and development (R&D) and technological needs. A chief technology officer (CTO) examines the short- and long-term needs of an organization, and utilizes capital to make investments designed to help the organization reach its objectives. The CTO usually reports directly the chief executive officer (CEO) of the firm. Specifics of the CTO's job vary from one organization to another. Here are a few typical items in a CTO job description:
Manage patent (Intellectual property), and licensing activity.
Manage commercialization activity.
Communicate and collaborate with innovation intermediaries (university technology transfer office, business incubators, accelerators...etc)
Identify opportunities and risks for the business to manage strategy & planning
Manage research and development (R&D).
Monitor technology and social trends that could impact the company.
Participate in management decisions about corporate governance.
Communicate the company's technology strategy to partners, management, investors and employees.
The main task will be to find specific contact information for those companies in the tables that I will provide (similar to the attached example). These contacts may be located via LinkedIn, annual reports by firms, search engine (e.g Google...etc) or press releases and/or organization charts on the firms' web sites. You will have a table include some or all the following information:
1- Company Name
2- Web Address Industry
3- Country
4- Province
5- City
For each company, you need to find a person who is currently in the position of Chief Technology Officer (CTO) or equivalent. Firstly, You MUST look for Chief Technology Officer (CTO), and after you are sure that there is no Chief Technology Officer (CTO) in that particular company, then you can for the equivalent titles to search for (please give priority to search from the top to the bottom):
VP or Director of R&D,
Director of University Liaison
Director of University Relations,
Director of Advanced Technology,
Chief Innovation Officer,
Chief, Communications and Liaison
Technology Transfer Officer
Vice president of engineering
Vice President, Intellectual Property
Chief Intellectual Property Counsel
VP of IP Strategy & Licensing
Commercial Licensing
Corporate Development
VP of Intellectual Property and Products & Technology Law
Chief information officer (CIO)
Chief science officer (CSO)
Director of Strategy, Research and Program Planning
Strategic Business Development
Product Innovation
Product Management
Corporate Development and Legal Affairs
VP Legal Affairs + Strategic Initiatives Counsel
Legal, business development
Chief Litigation Counsel
Chief Legal Officer
Operations & Legal Executive
For each company, you need to find the name of the person who is in CTO position, his email, his phone number (when possible), mail address for the company, and direct URL of the company if it wasn't provide by me. Also, you need to include the URL link of where you find all this information; for example, provide the URL of where you find name and position information for each person, as well as URL link of where you find his/her email address. (see the attachment)
I will pay 20$ for each 100 complete contacts. I have more than 2000 companies that I need to find contacts for. Complete contact should meet all what I have explain here, otherwise I will count it incomplete contact.
I am expecting to receive feedback for each 100 contacts within 24 hours. Then based on your performance, you may receive another 100 contacts list.
Finally, it is required that you put all companies that you couldn't find contacts for, in another separate sheet on the same excel file.
Initially, I will ask you for 4 contacts, and then after I check it, I will give you 100 contacts to do for 20$, and so on.
Thank you

Before the Knicks series, fellow bloguiners at Knicks Fanatics asked me to do a short Q&A collaboration post.
I thought it would have been good to have a piece written in a proper english once in a lifetime, so that's the final outcome:
Do you consider Sixers as a real "competitor" for a playoffs spot or not?
The Sixers are certainly a competitor for a playoff spot, if for the simple and mind-burning realty that the bottom half of the Eastern Conference is not that good. The Nets, Raptors, Wizards and that thing they call a team in Cleveland are all shot to Hell's green room just waiting to make an appearance on the draft lottery show.
Detroit, the Bucks and Indiana, now that the youngin's have been freed by embattled GM Larry Bird all have a chance to improve and challenge for the 8th and 7th spots, but the 76ers are just more talented and more cohesive than those wanna bes. These next two games are very important for the Knicks playoff positioning, especially since the Sixers beat us in the previous contest.
These middling teams are the ones we can build our record and some consistency on. If the Sixers fail to play for 36-48 minutes, they will not beat the Knicks. The Knicks know the Sixers are key to their success. We expect they will come to play the entire game which is what got them to this point.
Sixers4guidos is...uh, well, an italian blog. How would you rank the season of Guido, pardon, Danilo Gallinari so far? What does he need to work on to improve?
Since returning from his injury Danilo "The Rooster" Gallinari has improved significantly because somebody or somebodies finally realized that the strength of his game is not "shooting." In Europe, as a youngster he was the go to guy to win games. He was a scorer and a creator who started out with the ball in his hands. He didn't stand on the arc like he was waiting for a taxi or to be hit by a meteor. He created.
Now he seems to have the green light to do drive to the basket where he can stay focused and employ his considerable European acting skills to get to the line. The decision to drive totally opens up his game and keeps him relevant when he is on the floor (more after the jump).
With that being said, he is still a sixth man. He remains very inconsistent, most importantly on the defensive end. Although, he is not a quick defender and is sometimes totally disinterested, his lateral movement and energy are fabulous when he feels a challenge.
He always gets up for the Carmelo Anthony's and Dwayne Wade's of the world, but he cannot shut them down which is required in a defensive scheme which is not really based on sound defensive principles. In other words, without proper rotation and help there is only so much he can do and expending so much energy might be one of the reasons he rarely plays well offensively for more than half the game.
Would you trade for Iguodala? Is there any possible deal with the Sixers that you think can help both teams?
No. We need a big and an additional point guard. We don't need your wings; we got our own Rooster.
Stoudemire is a good-but-severely-overrated, one-dimensional player that gets a lot of hype because he plays (well this year) in NY. Please elaborate, or deny :-)
"Severely over-rated" is a painfully tortured overstatement. Amar'e Stoudemire has been more than advertised, because he has improved as a leader and player. It is not his fault that most teams in the NBA aren't smart enough to defend him appropriately enough to slow him down. Amar'e is bold, resolute and extremely strong.
He certainly has his weaknesses, but he is absolutely the most important reason the Knicks have been playing so well. Whatever hype he is getting, he deserves which has surprised a lot of Knicks fans. Tell Sixers fans not to be jealous.
What's the latest update about the relationship between D'Antoni and Knicks' fans? D'Antoni and NY media?
D'Antoni is on the inevitable trajectory towards crash-burn. SSOL (seven seconds or less) bball makes the Knicks more fun and exciting than they have been in years. However, once Knicks fans taste consistent winning, they will be even hungrier for a the main course, championship.
As Knicks fans gather together in the admission that D'Antoni cannot deliver a championship, the fans will be fit to eat their young, cannibalize their loyalty to be free to win and finally chew up and spit out the coach for a better chance at the Larry O'Brien cup. In other words, they will devour all and whoever they can to taste a championship -- It may take a couple of years, but D'Antoni is toast.
You might want to check my answers to their questions also. Thanks to LIVES & crew for doing this, let's enjoy the mini-series now !!

They work just like the stock bulbs.
Reviewed By David D (Ponte Vedra, FL) Reviewed for a 2003 Toyota Tacoma —7/12/2016 5:19 AM
What immediately struck me upon opening the package was the sturdiness of the light bulb structure. No exposed LEDs or flimsy glass encapsulation, this is a stout metal frame with heavy glass lens. Full 360 view of bright LEDs yet well protected. Bulb fits snugly in socket as expected. Only had for a week so can't speak to longevity, but have high expectations based on cost and construct.
Reviewed By Bill L (HARTFORD, CT) Reviewed for a 1990 Mercury Marquis —6/13/2016 3:17 PM
I replaced the four tail/stop lights in my 1990 Mercury with these red LED bulbs at half the cost of the what is probably the top seller of LED bulbs. Once installed, they were as bright as the old incandescent bulbs when viewed in broad daylight. No complaints on my part. Note that you must use the right flasher and it took me time to find one that would work with an all-LED installation and would also fit.

Minnesota–Wisconsin football rivalry
The Minnesota–Wisconsin football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Minnesota Golden Gophers and Wisconsin Badgers. It is the most-played rivalry in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision with 125 meetings between the two teams. The winner of the game receives Paul Bunyan's Axe, a tradition that started in 1948 after the first trophy, the Slab of Bacon, disappeared after the 1943 game. Minnesota and Wisconsin first played in 1890 and have met every year since 1907. Minnesota leads the series 59–58–8.[1]
|This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (November 2014)
The rivalry was first played in 1890 on Minnesota's campus, in Minneapolis, resulting in a 63–0 Minnesota victory. Theron Lyman led Wisconsin to its first win over Minnesota in 1894. The game became a conference rivalry with the creation of the Western Conference (later the Big Ten Conference) in 1896. In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt suspended college football rivalry games for safety concerns, due to player injuries and fatalities on the field. It is, to date, the only time that the two teams have not played each other.[2][3]
In the 2014 matchup the Badgers and Golden Gophers wore purple stickers on their helmets during the game to raise awareness for epilepsy.[4] The 2014 game decided the Big Ten West champion; Wisconsin defeated Minnesota 34–24 to go to the 2014 Big Ten Football Championship Game against Ohio State. The last time the rivalry determined a Big Ten Conference champion was in 1962 when #3 Wisconsin defeated #5 Minnesota for a berth to the 1963 Rose Bowl.[5]
Slab of Bacon[edit]
The rivalry's first trophy was the "Slab of Bacon", in use from 1930 to 1943. Created by R. B. Fouch of Minneapolis, it is a piece of black walnut wood with a football at the center bearing a letter that becomes "M" or "W" depending on which way the trophy is hung. The word "BACON" is carved at both ends, implying that the winner has "brought home the bacon." The trophy's tenure ended when Minnesota's 1943 victory in Minnesota led to the fans rushing the field. Wisconsin student Peg Watrous was to bring the trophy to a Minnesota representative after the game, but could not find her in the commotion, and subsequently lost track of the "bacon".[6][7] Reportedly, the trophy was sent to Minnesota's locker room, but coach George Hauser refused it, suggesting such traditions be held off until after World War II.[8] It was subsequently lost; a new trophy, "Paul Bunyan's Axe", was introduced in 1948.[8]
The trophy was lost for over 50 years. In 1992, Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez joked that "we took home the bacon, and kept it."[9] In 1994, Wisconsin intern Will Roleson found it in an old storage closet at Camp Randall Stadium. It had evidently been maintained for some time, as game scores through 1970 were painted on the back. It is now displayed at the Camp Randall Stadium football offices.[6]
Trophy record: Minnesota, 11–3 (.786)
Paul Bunyan's Axe[edit]
The Paul Bunyan Axe was created by the Wisconsin letterwinners' organization (the National W Club) and would be instituted as the trophy in the series in 1948. The scores of each game are recorded on the axe's handle, which is 6 feet long. The original axe was retired to the College Football Hall of Fame after the 2003 game. A new axe was created for the 2004 game.[10]
Until 2014, when the game ended, if the team holding the trophy won, they would run to their own sideline, take the axe and carry it around the field and "chop down" one or both goal posts.[11][12][13][14][15] If the team not holding the axe won, they were allowed to run to their opponents' sideline and "steal" the axe. The tradition was changed in 2014, with the Axe now kept off the field until the conclusion of the game. This change was in response to a near skirmish in 2013 in which the Minnesota players surrounded their goal post and would not permit the Wisconsin players to ceremonially chop it down.[16]
From 1933 to 1982, it was traditionally the final game of the regular season for both schools. It has resumed being a season finale as of 2014, following the Big Ten's new divisional alignment and schedule for the final weekend of conference play.
Trophy record: Wisconsin, 41–24–3 (.625)

It might not be much consolation to Sheffield United, who saw a 2-1 lead obliterated early in the second half, but they forced Hull to produce their very best soccer yesterday to reach the FA Cup final.
The 5-3 scoreline does justice to a compelling game but not as much to the efforts of Nigel Clough's team, who dominated the first half before Hull woke up and started playing soccer.
"I'm certainly proud," said Nigel Clough, "and that feeling will grow when we look back at what we've achieved, and that we were close to making history."
There are 42 places in the leagues between Hull and Sheffield United, who would have been the first ever third-tier team to reach an FA Cup final had they won. The only way that could have happened was with United at their best and Hull at their worst and that is precisely how the game went for the first 45 minutes.
Arsenal's FA Cup semifinal on Sunday showed the danger of top-flight complacency but Hull displayed few obvious signs of having taken that in. They started the match at walking pace, almost as if still taking in the game at Anfield. With Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long Cup-tied they did not have the usual up- front incisiveness.
United outran and outfought Hull for the whole of the first half. When they took the lead, after 19 minutes, it was fully deserved. John Brayford took a short throw, received the return pass and whipped in a cross to the near post. Jose Baxter darted in front of Curtis Davies and bundled the ball in.
"We were awful in the first half," Bruce admitted. "I saw more mistakes in the first half-hour than I've seen in six months. We kept surrendering the ball, passing it back to them, we didn't defend properly, didn't pick up, didn't do anything."
It was Davies, not Bruce, who did the necessary at halftime. "I just had a cup of tea. The bollockings were down to the captain, he was a proper captain."
Matty Fryatt drew them level at 2-2, turning in James Chester's effort from 1.8m out after an uncleared corner. Clough said that goal was the killer blow and Hull, woken up, started to play. Tom Huddlestone, the best player on the pitch, put them ahead by exchanging passes with David Meyler, shrugging off Michael Doyle with real authority and clipping the ball into the far corner.
The Hull fans were now ole-ing their passes. Bruce threw on Stephen Quinn and it took him only two minutes to score the fourth. Meyler slid a pass through to Livermore in the inside-right channel and Quinn nodded in the cross.
That should have been that but United would not go quietly and made added time more anxious than it ought to have been for Hull. Murphy volleyed Ryan Flynn's header to make it 4-3, but United's desperate pursuit of an equaliser only allowed Hull in on the break.

With the holidays coming up I feel compelled to do my PSA spot on backing up your memories. If you're like me, the most important files on your computer are your digital images and videos. The photos of my babies, that vacation I took with my dad last year, my wedding – all of these are many magnitudes more important to me than any email or spreadsheet on my PC.
Given the importance of these file to each of us, you would think we would back them up daily. But most folks don't. In fact many people just have them sitting on a den PC, on that hard drive that has an unknown expiration date – yes they all do expire. If you haven't experienced a hard drive failure, then you are very lucky. It's one of the darkest moments in computing.
I'd like to try to make your holiday season a happy one so here are three ways Microsoft can help you preserve your precious content.
First up, Windows Home Server. This product launched a few weeks back and it's a great approach for multiple machines households. It's a version of Server 2003 built for the house. It does lots of great stuff, including automated backup of up to 10 PC's. I'd say this is a bit of a high end approach for most folks because you have to buy a dedicated machine to run it, but if you're willing to do that, it works really well. You can even have your photos automatically uploaded to an online service like Flickr.
If you're not ready to shell out the $$ for a Home Server but you have multiple machines in your life another great solution is FolderShare. With FolderShare you can mirror a folder across multiple machines. I use this to keep all my photos and video synchronized across all the machines I interact with. FolderShare can take any folder and synchronize it across multiple machines. It's a great way to make sure all your machines have copies of your memories. For instance, my wife often imports pictures of the kids while I am at work. With FolderShare the full fidelity images just show up on my work machine, in my gallery and in my screen saver. If I tag a photo from a machine, it's now tagged on all machines. Best of all, if one machine's hard drive goes down I won't lose my photos because they are redundantly stored on my other machines.
Another way to go is to use an online photo backup service like the new OneCare. This is a great approach if you only have one computer. OneCare will copy your photos to its server and keep them safe for you. In addition to the backup service OneCare gives you lots of other benefits like anti-virus and spyware protection.
Whatever you do, do something. Unlike a spreadsheet, it's hard to recreate a photo.
– John Thornton (Program Manager)

(Editor's note: This month, we asked Tribune readers to share their holiday memories. We will print these memories through Christmas Day.)
Childhood means being truly oneself, fully there, "feeling" colors while seeing them.
In the '60s we couldn't always have sugary stuff. Mom and dad frowned any time I asked for anything sweet. But at Christmas one year, Gramma Bylsma brought over a tin of spun sugar candy. She was a rock star!
Our kitchen had a floor of beige linoleum, patterned with aqua blue L's, crosscut with pink L's that went the other way. There was no jumping up and down on that floor allowed. All of us girls had to "wise up" and "act decent," and we hated it!
Getting all crazy about the candy that year would not do. I had to settle myself down before I could even get near that round, color-filled tin, and then I was allowed only one or two pieces.
When I brought my face close, my nose filled with the air of gentle sweetness. The colors of each of these little pieces screamed brightly, each one of the hundreds of them being exactly what I needed to taste immediately. Their colors filled me up with some powerful sparks. The flavor of the candies was not even as spectacular as how they looked nor how it felt to have something special arrive in our boring kitchen.
I took a green and white ruffly piece, a disappointing spearmint. But the pink and red pillow-shaped one made up for it with a fabulous cherry zing.
I think now that my dad was so strident about our behavior at that moment because he was trying to impress his mother with his well-behaved children. I didn't understand it then, why I had to curb my wonderful enthusiasm, but now I do.
