I'm complaining about the passengers seat chime going off when I put a heavy book bag or groceries on it
In truth-I pretty much can ignore it-but it is a little annoying-

09-05-2013, 08:01 PM #83There is frankly not a big difference between the 4.8L and the 5.3L The 4.8L has 302HP and 305tq and the 5.3L is 315HP and 335tq. The 4.8L is also E85 capable as well. The 6.2L has 403HP and 411tq and is E85 capable as well. Only the 5.3L in the Silverado has AFM.
If you were able to ala-carte every single feature on the truck, it would cost at least $10K more.
You must be setting some pretty heavy stuff on the seat. Try putting the stuff in the back seat. Get an old seat belt lock to shut the chime off.
09-09-2013, 07:37 PM #84i tryed to get my 2012 gmc seirra regular cab sle Z/71 4x4 with a 6.2L could not do it it is not an option for a regular cab and once again it looks like the 2014 are going to be the same way. So the only way i can get one is buy a gm 6.2L create motor and pull out my 5.3L with afm which sucks because you now have a motor sitting around u did not want and the extra expense to go with it. What it comes down to in my opinion is that u should be able to factory custom order any option the line comes with for example a Denali regular cab if u wanted full bling or just a plane wt with the biggest motor they offer. and yes u can not get the 6.2l in a regular cab wt ether.
09-10-2013, 12:43 AM #85Here is a good scenario for you. You have to check a fence line. You start, stop, get out, get back in, start, stop....... most of the afternoon. Now.... go ahead and fasten the belt, unfasten the belt all afternoon while you check that fence line. I understand your comment, and don't necessarily disagree with it, if all some of us ever did was drive on a public thoroughfare. I am not going to fasten that darn belt to drive from my shop to the grain bin 500 feet away on my own property. I am not going to fasten it when making frequent stops checking drain tile intakes along terraces.
Now to the other points being made. Sure, I could have gotten a WT to avoid all of this, but I do like some of the luxury items that is in the interior of my LT that I cannot get in the WT. That being said, I dislike many of the non luxury items that get shoved down my throat. I made that point clear. I didn't order the truck, but I did have the dealer bring one in from approximately 200 miles away from another dealer that was about as good as I could hope for in a balancing act between getting what I wanted and doing so at the best value. Unfortunately, the Detroit Dweeb stuff came as part of the package. And one has to keep in mind, the wife uses the pickup more than I do. I wasn't going to stick her with some WT truck. This pickup has to fulfill a number of roles. But when I use it, I can't stand the nonsense they shove at me. Unlike a lot of folks, at least based on what some of the comments suggest, the wife might use it to go see her folks one day and the next she is pickup up parts or supplies in town. We might use it to go to town and get dinner and a movie, and the next day I am using it to haul a load of fence posts from town. If all it did was business type of stuff, then a WT would have been a realistic option. But it isn't.
Ala carte could cause a pickup to be more expensive, but for my semi, I got a 2013, spec'd the exact way I wanted it, at a price that was $40,000 less than just about everything on any dealer's lot that was typical package kind of stuff. And I got to avoid all the Federal Excise Tax on new equipment to boot. And it is one loaded piece of equipment. Complete with every cabinet available including wrap around the sleeper airline style cabinets in a 70" sleeper unit complete with wood trim throughout, hanging clothes closet, dual multi shelf cabinets, built in refrigerator/freezer, wood grain signature interior, more dash gauges than the space shuttle (well, almost). I got the truck, ready to go to work, for the whopping cost of $112,000. Only down side it that it took 5 months from order to delivery. Most of the other new stuff with "package" type builds were in the $150,000 to $160,000 range. And mine still has a 550 hp Detroit, 18 speed Eaton double over, and full lockers in both drive axles. And guess what? NO DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, NO SEATBELT CHIME, AND NO CUTTING CYLINDERS OFF BECAUSE SOMEONE THINKS I DON'T NEED THEM, AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO "SETTLE" FOR AN ENGINE I DIDN'T WANT. I didn't even have to settle for the standard turbo that the engine came with. It shouldn't be any more expensive with a pickup to order custom. GM, Ford, and whoever else just doesn't want to cater to their customers.Last edited by Cowpie; 09-10-2013 at 12:54 AM.

09-10-2013, 04:27 PM #87I think most of us understand (or at least, appreciate) the problems of trying to make one truck perform two completely different jobs.
There must be work arounds for most of the problems.
I've not tried (because I don't need to), but why not just clip the seat belt fastened. sit on it while driving. Maybe GM saw this coming and set the BCM to monitor that the belt is unfastened and refastened every driving cycle. IDK, but I'd give it a try.
The back up alert: I have it and I drive with my tailgate down a lot. The first time I backup the alarm sounds, then it shuts itself off, never to sound again until I turn the truck off.
The nav package (or mirror) with reverse display. If you don't like it, don't use it. I have it and I don't use it, why let it upset you, don't look at it. It is, however, the best tool in the shed for getting under the hitch of a trailer.
Sorry, I don't understand the complaining............. you buy a truck for a duel purpose, put up with the things that piss you off and that your wife loves............................................. ......................................she puts up with youRay

09-12-2013, 03:48 PM #89Week 2:
I filled up last night and here are the numbers.
Miles driven - 391
DIC fuel economy - 18.5
Calculated fuel economy - 17.8
DIC fuel used - 21.1
Actual gas pumped in - 22.0
Which is more accurate, the DIC or the pump dispensing gas at Costco, who knows?
All in all the fuel economy is good with AFM disabled. In my instance, AFM translates into near zero real world fuel economy gains so far. Instead of going by what others say, I have empirical data to go on.

No icons? Isn't it just a wallpaper pack? But anyway, it is "cool" :)
@Hatryst – Unfortunately no, no unique icons with these themes from Microsoft. :( But I have just found a set of snowboarding icons that could be used with these wallpapers. ^_^ Will post them up here in a short while… ^_^

Fleetguard filters
by Cummins Filtratation has lead the industry by its research and development of the combinations full flow by-pass filter. This solution has a greater impact than I can possibly explain here. Please, visit the link and see why. Every heard of the 30-60-90 rule? Check out the article in our August 2011 flyer.
Using its StrataPore
multi-layer Media this increased dirt holding capacity in the absolute micron media, then adding the stacked disk media in the same canister, filtration down to 1 micron is performed all in one filter. This increases engine life, extends service intervals, increased engine uptime, decreased maintenance cost, reduced disposal cost.
Cummins Filtration (Fleet Guard) then took the technology one step further and added a Venturi
Combo System to the filter. This allows the Fleetguard filter to perform up to four times as long and remove up to three times the contaminants as a full synthetic filter.
Even if you select a traditional pleated filter, Fleetguard's patented media will hold four to five times the amount of dirt as the competitors. This can reduce drain intervals putting your engine in service longer and saving you money.
More Than 7,000 Part Numbers
With more than 7,000 part numbers, Cummins Filtration has the widest product coverage in the market.
We proudly promote Fleetguard Filtration Products.

text: Moving back to Wednesdays after a year on CBS' Monday-night lineup, The Nanny inaugurates its third season, offering 27 episodes this year. Fran Drescher continues to head the cast as Fran Fine, the cheekily vulgar nanny in the veddy-proper Manhattan household of widowed Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) and his three growing children. Although Sheffield's female business partner, C.C. (Laura Lane), has not given up her efforts to strong-arm Maxwell into marriage, it is clear that the master of the Sheffield house is falling in love with Fran. Indeed, in the season-ending finale, Maxwell not only takes Fran along on a business trip to Paris, but also stammers out those three magic words, "I love you" -- just as the "To be continued" title crashes on the screen. In other developments, Fran briefly moves out of the Sheffield town house and into an apartment with her best friend, Val (Rachel Chagall); Maxwell's imperious mother, Elizabeth (Dina Merrill), sweeps into town, immediately demanding that her son dismiss his nanny; Maxwell's shy daughter Maggie (Nicholle Tom) turns sweet sixteen; and in the series' animated-cartoon Christmas episode, "Oy to the World," the leading actors provide the characters' voices in a helter-skelter North Pole fantasy. As in previous seasons, several guest stars appear as "themselves" during The Nanny's third season, among them Elizabeth Taylor, Alex Trebek, Jay Leno, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Eartha Kitt, Burt Bacharach, tennis champ Monica Seles, fashion designer Todd Oldham, the cast of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, and even "presidential brother" Roger Clinton. Most amusingly, Marvin Hamlisch also shows up -- not as himself, but as a fellow who happens to look like Marvin Hamlisch! Breaking into the Top 20 TV programs for the first time this year, The Nanny closed out its third season as America's 16th most-watched series. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Slogan | The peer-reviewed open-access encyclopedia |
Commercial? | No |
Type of site | Internet encyclopedia project |
Registration | Optional (required to edit pages) |

Scholarpedia is an English-language online wiki-based encyclopedia with features commonly associated with open-access online academic journals, which aims to have quality content.
Scholarpedia articles are written by invited expert authors and are subject to peer review.[3] Scholarpedia lists the real names and affiliations of all authors, curators and editors involved in an article: however, the peer review process (which can suggest changes or additions, and has to be satisfied before an article can appear) is anonymous. Scholarpedia articles are stored in an online repository, and can be cited as conventional journal articles (Scholarpedia has the ISSN number 1941-6016). Scholarpedia's citation system includes support for revision numbers.
The project was created in February 2006 by Eugene M. Izhikevich, while he was a researcher at the Neurosciences Institute, San Diego, California. Izhikevich is also the encyclopedia's editor-in-chief.
Scholarpedia is not a general encyclopedia; it focuses on the fields of computational neuroscience, touch, dynamical systems, computational intelligence, physics and astrophysics.[4] In April 2009, Scholarpedia amounted to 500 peer-reviewed accepted articles and about 1400 articles at diverse stages of completion.[citation needed]
This section is outdated. (May 2013) |
To ensure that the articles are written by experts, authors of the various articles in Scholarpedia are either invited by the editor-in-chief or other curators, or selected by a public election. For example, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger were nominated for the article on Wikipedia.[5] As of May 2009, the list of authors included four Fields medalists and sixteen Nobel prize winners.[6] Registered users must provide their full real name, and a recognised affiliation to an academic institution. Only registered users can edit an article, and those edits are subject to approval by the curator of the article, who is typically the author.[7] Curatorship is transferrable. Users have a curator index attribute which is incremented or decremented by various activities and which affects the user's capabilities on the website.
Articles are available online without charge for non-commercial use, but may not be copied in bulk. Authors are credited on the article page.
As of January 2008[update], Scholarpedia changed their licensing policy and now also accepts articles under the GNU Free Documentation License and the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-NoDerivatives 3.0 license, in addition to the earlier system in which the author gives a non-exclusive license directly to Scholarpedia.[8][9]
Scholarpedia uses the same wiki engine as Wikipedia, MediaWiki, with modifications to support voting on revisions. The software's development is done privately.[10]

Beautiful earrings! Purchased the amethyst earrings - good quality and heavy (but not too heavy that they are uncomfortable). Lots of sparkle and movement. They work well for casual or evening wear. Lovely!

The King's Speech: taking the helm
24 February
Files from The National Archives shed light on the early naval career of King George VI, portrayed by actor Colin Firth in the Oscar-nominated film The King's Speech.
George VI took the nation's helm on 11 December 1936 to restore faith in the monarchy, following the controversial abdication of his brother Edward VIII, and went on to lead Britain and the Commonwealth to war against Nazi Germany. But before he was King, he was Prince Albert, Duke of York, and served in the Royal Navy.
Records available at The National Archives chart his service in the Royal Navy prior to becoming King. The records show his promotion through the ranks, and include notes on his strength of character and physical condition, including the speech impediment made famous by 'The King's Speech', nominated for Best Picture at the 83rd Academy Awards.
In service to his country
The files held by The National Archives shine a light on the achievements of the then Duke of York. Royal Navy Service Records (Catalogue references: ADM 196/146 and ADM/196/118 folio 129) include entries for the Duke of York's service in the Navy, which he joined in January 1909 as a naval cadet shortly after his 13th birthday. The Duke of York was made acting sub-lieutenant at the age of 20 and, over the course of his naval career, was granted numerous awards and distinctions and promoted through the ranks to reach Admiral on 21 January 1936, the year he became King.
The Duke of York's Royal Navy Service Record notes that he 'takes charge well and assumes responsibility', has an 'upright character' but also that he was 'nervous of speech', revealing his speech impediment.
On 10 December 1936, his brother Edward VIII abdicated the throne. Records at The National Archives (Catalogue reference: HO 144/21070/1) contain a copy of the Official Report of Parliamentary Debates in the House of Commons for that day, and reveal comments from MPs including Winston Churchill's rallying call to 'give to His Majesty's successor [King George VI] that strength which can only come from the love of a united nation and Empire.'
A message from the King
King George VI's first message to the House of Commons on his ascension to the throne was read in the House on 14 December 1936 (Catalogue reference: PREM 1/456):
'I have succeeded to the throne in circumstances which are without precedent and at a moment of great personal distress. But I am resolved to do my duty and I am sustained by the knowledge that I am supported by the widespread goodwill and sympathy of all my subjects here and throughout the world.
It will be my constant endeavour, with God's help, supported as I shall be by my dear wife, to uphold the honour of the realm and to promote the happiness of my peoples.'

A closet sheethead pig.
King of the Morons...
I just hear on the CBS news with Scott Pelly this analysis of why the violence in Isreal/Palistine:"The outbreak in violence is a result of Israel´s retaliation of the bombs launced by the Palastinians". So with CBS like NBC it is Israel´s fault. What a bunch of media thugs they are. I guess those bombs the Pali´s launced didn´t cause any violence.
Got any kids, diaperhead? Palestinians like to murder kids...
I had a cockroach problem a while back. I took care of it.(The solution, while effective and hopefully permanent, did not involve giving the cockroaches their own state or any of my territory.)
No matter how much lipstick is applied, Hamas is still a terrorist group dude.Deal with it.
Look at the map of Israel and the countries which surround it. ...Now, WHO are the aggressors?!!!
Anti-semitism preceding the second Jewish holocaust - history is repeating itself.
Yes, the Israeli´s started it when they fought back.Shep Smith is sounding like all the other pali supporters.
The sheetheads have infiltrated our news media as well as our government. It´s part of the master plan and it´s succeeding well because we are helping them do it. What else can we expect from them?
Alex must also be muslim loving and jewish hating to have a muslim reporter on his show. How many viewers saw the show? 5? 10?

(jiří macek) Kartell Café definitely ranked among the most popular places at Designblok this year. This café, complete with a children's corner and a night bar, was located in the Designblok Superstudio. Its outstanding design was made by the studio of Hippos design.
Radim Babák and Ondřej Tobola from the studio of Hippos design wove the café from red ropes. Literally. First, there were red clews flying through the air for several days until the bright red net covered the entire space; then the café noise headed in the same direction. The simple illuminated styrofoam bar with ropes created an impressive frame in which one could find the entire current collection of the renowned Italian brand. Dominant amphoras designed by Starck and ceiling lights designed by Laviani permeated the net, where people spent much time nested by café tables. This was simply a model café, a space with many inventions by Kartell.

CAW says a woman's right to choose is an organizational stand
By Nathan Rumohr
The B.C. Catholic
The Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) union claim to be a progressive union, which, they say, means the 200,000 member organization believes in abortion. With the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform's (CCBR) New Abortion Caravan campaign touring the country, CAW's women's department is advising members to counter-protest the pro-life initiative.
"We are supporting a women's right to choose," said Julie White, CAW's director of women's programs. "We've been behind women's right to choose for long time. We are a social union; our workers lives don't just revolve around work."
She said it's important for the union to fight for the rights of workers in the workplace and through political action.
CAW has taken on many issues that don't necessarily relate to the many sectors it represents. The union has lobbied to keep the National Gun Registry and continues advocacy for a national transit strategy and other causes they say affect their members.
Stephanie Gray, CCBR executive director, thinks CAW is crossing a line by taking a firm stand on abortion. She said it's unlikely that every member of the union is pro-abortion.
"I find it shocking that the largest private workers' union in the country is using its union dues to advocate for abortion," she said.
"Participation in this union is mandatory, and yet people like CAW president Ken Lewenza are using the union dues of pro-life auto workers to advocate for Canada's status quo as the only Western democracy to have no abortion restrictions.
"Canadians are forced to fund abortion with their tax dollars, and now CAW members are being forced to advocate for it with their union dues. It is unfortunate that Ken Lewenza has no respect for his members' freedom of conscience."
White told The B.C. Catholic Gray is wrong about union dues being used to fund abortion advocacy. She said political issues are supported on a volunteer basis. CAW, she said, is a progressive union that doesn't support violence against women, which she said includes denying the women the right to choose.
She added CAW's support for abortion is the same as the Catholic Church's support for fighting abortion. White, a Catholic herself, doesn't think the Church should use money collected from its faithful for pro-life causes.
"White should look into her faith and realize the Church is pro-life," said John Hof, president of Campaign Life Coalition B.C. Hof said White's analogy digresses into the absurd.
CAW is working with pro-abortion groups to counter the remaining New Abortion Caravan stops in Ontario. The Caravan's journey will conclude in Ottawa July 1.
"The Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform want to take away our rights using fear, guilt, and shock tactics," White said. She praised the efforts of the original Abortion Caravan that campaigned for abortion rights in 1970.
Hof chuckled at White's support of the original caravan, saying those organizers used shock tactics themselves to spread their message of choice.
Gray and the CCBR hope the New Abortion Caravan will facilitate an end to abortion. The caravan has several cube vans with images of aborted babies. The caravan stops in cities across Canada where CCBR members give presentations about the horrors of abortion.

New LibreOffice import filters
In Good Shape
PowerPoint shapes. We investigate how the two office modules work together.
In early February 2012, LibreOffice developers published a new release candidate of the free office package. Its components introduce new features or improvements, including the Draw drawing program and the Impress presentation software. One function that featured prominently on the community wish list for Draw in the past was the ability to edit Microsoft (MS) Visio files. The developers created an import feature for VSD files, and the presentation tool now also has an import function for drawing objects. To test the new features, I installed LibreOffice 3.5 (RC3 from 2 February) on an Ubuntu system (11.10). Before installing, you need to uninstall version 3.4 as recommended in the wiki. I created two documents to test the maturity of the new features: a network diagram created with Visio and a PowerPoint presentation with editable shapes imported into Impress.

Any French majors out there?
One of the first words students learn in French 101 is "queue." That's because it's a French word commonly used in English as well.
It's a massive overuse of vowels, as the word is pronounced simply "Q," just like the letter.
Anyone who's worked with me over the years knows one of my twitchy bugaboos is the use of the redundant phrase "queue line," because queue is the French word for line.
Sort of like ATM machine. PIN number.
But I digress.
The uninitiated among us can always tell construction of a new water slide is moving along when the giant pieces of fiberglass move from the initial just-off-the-truck position (as in the foreground of the photo below), to the assembly queue.
Hyena Falls' fiberglass assembly is taking place over by Giraffica (the nation's tallest water ride, formerly known as Pilgrims Plunge).
One by one, the fiberglass pieces are matched up and bolted together.
There are some footers visible along the right side of the photo below. Before long we'll be "swinging fiberglass" from the assembly queue to their permanent position as part of Hyena Falls' four slides.
Interested in the construction process? Be sure to check out our live ConstructionCam to catch all the action.

DIA attendance more than triples after voter-approved millage
Last Tuesday, the Detroit Institute of Arts got a major vote of confidence from area voters when they approved a millage request to fund the museum. Taxpayer support means the museum will have a stable source of funding for the next ten years.
The next day, the museum was free to the residents in Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties.
The Detroit Free Press reports attendance more than tripled when comparing the same five-day period a year ago.
Nearly 8,000 visitors poured into the museum through Sunday, about 5,000 of whom were admitted free as residents of the tri-county area. About 2,000 people paid general admission fees, and 900 others were admitted free as members.
In 2011, about 2,600 people visited the museum during the same August week, 350 of them members. Standard admission fees are $4-$8.
Free admission after the millage passed wasn't the only reason for the bump in attendance.
DIA Chief Operating Officer Annmarie Erickson told the Freep that the publicity the museum received during the millage debate also helped. In addition, the DIA now has four solid exhibitions featuring Matisse, Picasso, Vermeer, and photography by Patti Smith.
"We were in the news a lot, and we were advertising at a rate that we rarely do," said Chief Operating Officer Annmarie Erickson. "Even though it was millage-related, it was all about the value of the DIA.
"It's a combination of heightened awareness because of advertising and media, a good menu of offerings this summer and the fact that we now have free admission."

And over caters CEO puts you -- a lot of it was that that debate has I didn't get a chance to ask the question when he was there.
What did you think of of that debate and how Romney.
Comported himself.
That he did well he -- come out a strong -- previous.
Debate but.
He pointed I think the only difference there was that because the president showed conference right presidents showed up.
I -- the moderator was a little bit biased in my opinion because she was -- -- from the a couple of times -- thought that was wrong.
But what's really hit home to me that struck and have -- in my business my personal opinion is against price to mean right away dollar 86 to four dollars.

So now we gave Obama his chance I felt we gave me chance TF we is I think now Romney is making a lot of sense of what he's saying.
I'm David on this gas thing the argument that the president had in response was that.
You forget governor Romney we were in the midst of recession that's my guess is -- -- there and what's left himself open to.
Well are you saying the only way to get prices look it's a resides and obviously governor Romney didn't follow up what apple what do you make of that.
Well that's against -- that he totally avoided he was asked the question about his secretary of energy whether he had any responsibility on gas prices.
Fuel prices and and he avoided the answer there.
And when he was asked about it there's who certainly -- his response was well within a dollar gift with a dollar 8060 gallon we were in the midst of a recession -- Way to go back to -- another recession and have dollar 86 a gallon gas.
What people forget is this president campaign the first time on higher energy prices those the match the prices of Europe so.
All of you find people that voted for a -- you've got what you wish for right down four dollars a gallon.

But trying to put publicity argument but the trend is the friend the economy is getting better albeit slowly but dobbs.
It did take a bet on my record in this guy's promises to that move -- -- You know -- what -- movie was I was I was I was sold.
So mad that I couldn't -- go to sleep you know I agree when I hear this president -- in front of the American public and tell them the lies.
That he has cut taxes for small business eighteen times is an out right.
-- a lot I don't know it.
TJ that figure but I don't know waiting time I don't know where does -- came from eighteen times and some million dollars I haven't seen any tax that -- taxing result nobody until just on the federal hello he's not responses artist and -- as you -- for you -- the last forty years.
What have you -- I just seen increases and -- part of to do business.
Food prices going up gas prices going up.
-- regulations -- I don't know what else to do I mean I don't know that if if Obama wins.

THE UTAH EXPEDITION.—[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] FORT BRIDGER, U. T. December 1,1857. OUR progress thus far has been very dull and uninteresting. The march from Fort Laramie to Fort Bridger has enabled us to realize the retreat from Moscow by the re-mains of the Great Army, forty-five years ago. The Mormons had de-stroyed all the grass: we could barely find willows and sage bush-es in sufficient quantity to keep our fires going. Cold set in soon after we departed, and with it snow-storms. On the high land the ther-mometer frequently marked sever-al degrees below zero; and in many places the snow was so deep as to interpose a very serious obstacle to locomotion. The cattle, of course, were the first to feel the inconven-iences of the march. For the last four hundred miles of our journey the mortality among horses, mules, and horned cattle was very large. It was quite common of a morning to find a dead ox lying near the door of one's tent. The road to Fort Bridger, like the Isthmus of Pana-ma in the early days of Californian enterprise, will be found next sum-mer fenced in with bones. I am led to believe that the rear guard of the army under Colonel Cook were obliged to leave behind them much valuable property from want of cat-tle to transport it. Some have esti-mated the loss of cattle as high as one hundred head per day. Certain it seems that when the spring ena-bles us to undertake active opera-tions we shall have no transport or cavalry. We were not molested either by Indians or by Mormons on the march. Three trains traveling without proper escort, and at a dis-tance from the main body, have been captured and burned by the Mormons, and a quantity of valua-ble clothing, together with some provisions, and probably our whole store of salt destroyed. We have, however, provisions enough to last us, with ordinary economy, till the time arrives for an assault upon Salt Lake City. The colonel com-manding has just issued an order cutting down the daily rations and depriving the officers of their ex-tras. As to salt, of which article we are lamentably deficient, it is understood that a supply is on the way from the East, and Captain Marcy has been sent off to ward New Mexico to procure a supply. Brig-ham Young sent in a wagon-load as a present; but Colonel Johnston sent it back with a message that the next Mormon who arrived without a flag of truce would be fired upon. I see no probability of the army suffer-ing seriously either from hunger or cold. The health of the troops thus far has been excellent, and with proper precautions there is no rea-son why it should not continue to be satisfactory. We are at present encamped on Black's Fort, in the vicinity of and around Fort Bridger. This fort is an old trading-post, owned by a Major Bridger, who has been in these parts for many years. The commander has leased the fort, and is rebuilding and fortifying it, so as to provide a safe retreat in case of disaster. In a very short time it can be rendered impregnable. In many respects the locality is admi-rable as a basis of operations. There is round the fort plenty of wood for fuel, and the stream contains ex-cellent water. As to distances, we are 113 miles from Salt Lake City, 30 miles from Ham's Fork, and 380 miles from Fort Laramie. Had we cattle, we could sweep the whole country between this and the ca-ñons; as it is, the Mormons have the advantage of us; their cavalry arm is excellent, their horses strong and well fed, their guerillas inde-fatigable. They hover round us, trying to pick up stragglers, stam-pede cattle, and burn trains; and so long as they keep out of gun range they are safe. There is a strong feeling in the army in favor of an immediate ad-vance on Salt Lake City. I have no doubt—if the thing were pro-posed—that every man of the expe-dition would cheerfully agree to en-counter Mormons, snow, and cold, in order to exchange our camp life for comfortable winter-quarters in the city. But this is not to be. Our commander has resolved—probably in accordance with orders from head-quarters—that we shall remain where we are for the pres-ent; the failure of the expedition—for such really seems to be the prop-er term—will at least have the ad-vantage of giving us something to think about during the long, dreary winter. No doubt, on other and graver grounds, Colonel Johnston's decision is judicious. From the best accounts, it seems that the Mormon force encamped between us and the city amounts to full live thousand men of all arms. We have less than one-third this number; for of course the teamsters and army fol-lowers can not be relied upon for offensive operations. We have resigned ourselves, therefore, to make the best of our position, and are trying to make ourselves comfortable. Some of the officers and the civil officials are building houses on the Armenian plan, partly underground, with a wooden roof, which the snow will render air-tight. I have no doubt that these huts will be comfortable, warm, dry, and snug. Tents are, however, the order of the day among the army, and, with a due amount of blankets, and a corresponding supply of fuel for the stove, we cal-culate to exist through the winter without more suffering than every soldier in active service must ex-pect. The weather latterly has been very mild, and at times the ground has been bare of snow. At this season I am told, by persons ac-quainted with the locality, that the snow is usually several feet deep. Governor Cumming and Chief-Justice Eckels are preparing for ac-tivity. The former has sent proc-lamations to Salt Lake City declar-ing that he will proceed against any individuals found in rebellion ac-cording to the law; and the Chief-Justice has opened a Court for the trial of offenders. This seems an amusing proceeding at the crisis at which affairs have arrived. From, all Ave can learn of Brigham Young's views, and the state of feeling at Salt Lake City, two courses of action are being debated—the first, to leave Utah in the spring, and seek a refuge in the British Ter-ritory in the north; the second, to submit to the entrance of the army, and make the best terms pos-sible with the new Governor. As Governor Cum-ming has declared that he does not propose to in-terfere with the Mormon matrimonial arrange-ments, it is quite likely that a number of Mormons may prefer submitting to his authority to losing the improvements they have made on their land in Utah. On the other hand, Brigham Young's acts have been so glaringly defiant of the authority of the United States—the burning of the supply-trains amounts, I suppose, to an actual levying of war—that there is very little hope for him, should he fall into the hands of the army. He will, there-fore, be quite likely to take an early opportunity of placing himself beyond Colonel Johnston's reach, by flying to the British country. Whether he will venture upon a preliminary brush with the army is, of course, a matter of conjecture. It is assert-ed by persons who pretend to know, that the rank and file of the Mormons are more governed by feeling than by reason, and that they will not yield without a struggle. They regard themselves as martyrs to their faith. It is supposed here that Colonel Johnston has made up his mind that there will be no fighting, though the arrangements for the winter are as careful as if we were in a foreign enemy's country. For my own part, I can not bring myself to believe that the Mormons will act-ually shed their blood in the cause. We have four ladies in camp, all of whom, I am happy to say, are well, and bear cheerfully the pri-vations and discomforts of camp-life. We pro-pose, when the work of preparing for the cold is over, to get up some amusements for the troops and ourselves. I should not be surprised if we gave balls which were as suc-cessful as any in your own Fifth Avenue. There is also some talk of theatric-als. Whether we are to fight or not, we have made up our minds to be as merry for the present as the circumstances will admit. Of Colonel Johnston, the commanding officer of the Utah Expedition, we have the following memoir. The portrait is from a daguerreotype in the possession of an inti-mate friend; the memoir by that distinguished offi-cer and citizen, Colonel Preston, of Kentucky. Albert Sidney Johnston was born in Mason Coun-ty, Kentucky, in 1803. His father was a physi-cian of education and high character, from the vicini-ty of Salisbury, in Con-necticut, who emigrated to Kentucky before the adoption of the Constitu-tion of the United States. His eldest son, Josiah Stoddard Johnston, was a statesman of signal abili-ty, and was returned to the Senate of the United States from Louisiana. He was the confidential friend of Mr. Clay, and his second in his duel with Randolph. Sidney Johnston was sent by his father at an early age, to the school of Dr. Lewis Marshall, a brother of Chief-Justice Marshall, one of the most learned and accomplished scholars of his day. Afterward he was placed at Transylvania University, where he had nearly completed a liberal education when his brother, discerning the peculiar bent of his mind, induced him to go to West Point. He graduated at the Military Academy, and received a commis-sion in the 6th Regiment of Infantry. During his academic course he was highly distinguished for his attainments in mathematics and the severer studies of his profession, being almost at the head of his classes; but he displayed little aptitude for languages and the lighter branches of learning. He entered the army, and was ordered to the West, where he was selected as Adjutant-General during the Black Hawk war, by the commander, General Atkinson, and, though young, earned a high repu-tation for gallantry, energy, and judgment. After the cessation of hostilities he resigned his commis-sion, with the intention of residing upon a planta-tion near St. Louis; but afterward, during the struggle between Mexico and Texas, he left the States. He arrived in Texas not long after the battle of San Jacinto, and while the contest was in progress enrolled himself as a private sol-dier in the army, and rose rapidly to high com-mand. At that time the forces of Texas, under the command of General Felix Huston, a Ken-tuckian of rash and impetuous courage, but of no-ble and generous impulses, was collected for the defense of the infant republic. Johnston was elect-ed to supersede him in the command. When he arrived Huston chose to consider himself affronted upon an imaginary point of etiquette, and chal-lenged him the day after he assumed the com-mand. Johnston at once accepted the challenge, and a meeting ensued, in which he was wounded—as it was feared, mortally—by his antagonist, who was an admirable shot. The friend and second of Johnston, thinking he was dying, muttered that the matter should not rest, but would be avenged by him. Johnston turned to him and said, "It is my request, in the event of my death, that you shall yield obedience to my second in command, General Huston; and I trust you will not, by such conduct, promote a spirit of insubordination." Huston afterward became the friend of Johnston, and always spoke of him with the highest consid-eration and respect. General Johnston afterward was appointed Sec-retary of War in Texas, and organized the expe-dition under Burleson, in 1839, against the Chero-kees. He was present in person at the decisive en-gagement, on the River Nueces, in which the Che-rokees, seven hundred strong, were routed by the Texans. In his department he manifested not only skill as a soldier in every emergency, but ability and discretion as a civilian. He became an ardent advocate for the annexation of Texas to the Unit-ed States, and used all the influence he possessed to secure its consummation. Subsequently, when war was declared against Mexico, and he was in private life, residing upon his plantation in Bra-zoria County, General Taylor wrote to him from Point Isabel, and requested him to join him imme-diately. Johnston at once volunteered as a pri-vate soldier, collected a few friends, appointed a rendezvous at Point Isabel, and, as there were no vessels, mounted his horse, and joined General Taylor. TAVO Texan regiments assembled, and Johnston was elected Colonel of one, and the cele-brated partisan officer, Jack II aye, was elected Col-onel of the other. Johnston's regiment was dis-banded before the battle of Monterey, but he was unwilling to leave the scene of active operations, and went forward with the army. He was ap-pointed Inspector-General, by Taylor, of General William 0. Butler's division, and accepted the place. He was present at Monterey; and during a heavy fire upon Mitchell's Ohio regiment, of which the Colonel fell wounded, displayed the most conspicuous coolness, gal-lantry, and skill. His horse was thrice shot, but he escaped unwounded. He was thanked in his dis-patches by General But-ler for his conduct on that memorable occasion, and was urged by General Tay-lor for the post of Briga-dier-General, in prefer-ence to numbers of brave and skillful officers under his command. The com- mission was subsequent-ly bestowed upon Caleb Cushing. After his service in Mexico Johnston again returned to his plantation. When he went to Texas he possessed a sufficient fortune, which, however, had become impaired from the necessary neglect of his private affairs. Natu-rally independent in char-acter, and punctual in the fulfillment of his obliga-tions, he set to work on his place, when General Taylor, then President, tendered him the appoint-ment of Paymaster, with the rank of Major, as it was then the only appro-priate place within his gift. Johnston held the commission for several years, until the new regi-ments were levied, when the Secretary of War, Jef-ferson Davis, who knew his skill as a soldier, and his high character for worth and ability, and ability, and who had known him at West Point, and had seen him in the field, appoint-ed him Colonel of the 2cl Cavalry. Since that time Johnston has been chiefly employed as com-manding officer of the Southwestern Military De-partment. When the recent troubles in Utah occurred Johnston was ordered to Washington, and the general opinion of the army, as well as the judg-ment of the President, indicated him as the proper officer to be intrusted with the command. Thus far he has pushed forward with extraordinary en-ergy, notwithstanding the inclement season of the year, the snows of the mountains, and the number-less impediments to the march of an army under such circumstances. Colonel Johnston is now in the matured vigor of manhood. He is above six feet in height, strong-ly and powerfully formed, with a grave, digni-fied, and commanding presence. His features are strongly marked, showing his Scottish lineage, and denote great resolution and composure of char-acter. His complexion, naturally fair, is, from exposure, a deep brown. His habits are abstemi-ous and temperate, and no excess has impaired his powerful constitution. His mind is clear, strong, and well cultivated. His manner is courteous, but rather grave and silent. He has many devoted friends, but they have been won and secured rath-er by the native dignity and nobility of his char-acter than by his powers of address. He is a man of strong will and ardent temper, but his whole bearing testifies the self-control he has acquired. As a soldier he stands very high in the opinion of the army. As air instance of this it may be men-tioned that, in a large assembly of officers and gen-tlemen, the gallant and impetuous Worth, when asked who was the best soldier he had ever known, replied, "I consider Sidney Johnston the best sol-dier I ever knew."

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company said in a regulatory filing on Friday that Mr. Schmidt plans to sell 3.2 million shares of stock over the next year. Mr. Schmidt owned 7.6 million shares of Google as of Dec. 31, according to the filing. At Friday's closing price of $785.37, the shares being sold would have a value of $2.5 billion.

Google added Mr. Schmidt is selling the shares "as part of his long-term strategy for individual asset diversification and liquidity."
"This is a routine diversification of assets and Eric remains completely committed to Google," a Google spokeswoman said in an email.
The 57-year-old Mr. Schmidt, who joined Google as chief executive in 2001 from Novell Inc., used a similar plan to sell roughly 1.8 million Google shares, valued at $1.2 billion, over the past year, according to InsiderInsights.com. If he completes the newly planned sales, Mr. Schmidt will have reduced his stake in Google by more than half over two years.

If he sells the shares, Mr. Schmidt would still own 1.3% of Google, down from 2.3% as of Dec. 31, 2012. He would control 5% of Google's voting power, since some of his shares have additional voting power.
Before last year, Mr. Schmidt rarely sold any of his Google shares. From 2008 through 2010, he didn't sell any.
Forbes magazine in September ranked Mr. Schmidt the 45th-richest American, with a net worth of $7.5 billion. He stepped down as CEO in April 2011 and became Google's executive chairman.
Google shares have risen 29% over the past year, giving the company a market value of $259 billion.
Mr. Schmidt has written a book, "The New Digital Age," which is to be published by Random House in April. In January, he traveled to North Korea, where, he later said, he urged leaders of the isolated country to open Internet access to boost the economy.

The end of March only means one thing to me. The NCAA Div 1 Wrestling Championships.
Penn State repeats. They're going to be tough with Cael leading and the recruits he can pull in.
Tom Brands is not a happy man. I can assure you.
Most impressive was definitely Kyle Dake. 3 different weight classes, 3 NCAA titles. Cornell has had a pretty solid program for the past several years, 3 NCAA champions for them this year. Looking forward to see how Dake does at the Olympic Trials in Iowa in a few weeks and to see if he can make more history next year and get 4 titles to join Cael and Pat Smith.
Yojiro Uetake(OK State) definitely would have been in the club(and probably would have been the first undefeated and 4-time champ) had freshman been allowed to wrestle back in the day.
Also looking forward to seeing how Brent Metcalf will do, but he'll have to get by Teyon Ware first. Teyon Ware gator rolled Metcalf into oblivion in their World Team Trials championship match last year.

How LinkedIn Recommendations Can Help You Professionally
1 of 7 in Series: The Essentials of LinkedIn Recommendations
LinkedIn Recommendations can help you find out more about the people you're considering doing business with. You can also use LinkedIn Recommendations to build your own reputation. Whatever the reasoning LinkedIn Recommendations is an excellent professional development tool. The LinkedIn Recommendation process starts in one of three ways:
*Unsolicited: When viewing the profile of any of your first-degree connections, a Recommend This Person link is clearly displayed at the top of the profile. By clicking that link, you can give an unsolicited Recommendation.
*Requested: You can request Recommendations from your first-degree connections. You might send such a request at the end of a successful project, for example, or maybe ask for a Recommendation from your boss before you plan to transition to a new job.
*Reciprocated: Whenever you accept a Recommendation from someone, LinkedIn presents you with the option of recommending that person in return.
Some people do this as a thank you for receiving the Recommendation, other people reciprocate only because they didn't realize they could leave a Recommendation until someone left them one, and some people don't feel comfortable reciprocating unless they truly believe the person deserves one. You decide in each circumstance whether to reciprocate.
After the Recommendation is written, it's not posted immediately. It goes to the recipient for review, and he has the option to accept it, reject it, or request a revision. So even though the majority of Recommendations you see on LinkedIn are genuine, they're also almost entirely positive because they have to be accepted by the recipient.
With LinkedIn, you can use Recommendations in several ways:
*On your profile page: LinkedIn shows all Recommendations you've received as well as links to the profiles of the people who recommended you. This provides that social validation you want by allowing people to see exactly who is endorsing you.
*In Advanced Search: One of the options for sorting the results of a LinkedIn search is Relationship + Recommendations. (You can even sort your results before they are generated by taking advantage of the Sort By options at the bottom of the Advanced Search page.)
This option sorts first by the number of degrees or levels a connection is away from you in ascending order (for example, your first-degree connections first), and then by the number of Recommendations someone has received in descending order (for example, those with the most Recommendations first).
*In the Companies section: From the Companies section, you can click the Service Providers link (near the top-right corner of the screen) to get the Service Providers main page to display a list of recent Recommendations within your network.
Within each category, you can choose to view either the most recent Recommendations or the most highly recommended service providers within the category. Every service provider listed must have at least one Recommendation to be included.
Because the number of Recommendations is used as both a sort option for searching and a display option in the service provider directory, having a large number of Recommendations has a very real impact on your profile's search-ability. More is definitely better.
