Let $X$ be a CW-complex with
Is it always true that $\pi_2(X)\ne 1$?
There are classic examples, coming from small cancellation theory. See the section of the Wikipedia article on asphericity.
I believe that the answer is NO. If you look at
Gutiérrez, Mauricio A.; Ratcliffe, John G. On the second homotopy group. Quart. J. Math. Oxford Ser. (2) 32 (1981), no. 125, 45–55.
Corollary 3 states that a "reduced 2-complex $K(X; R)$ is aspherical if and only if each element of $R$ is independent and not a proper power."
Now, "reduced" means that there is (a) only one 0-cell (true in your case), and the one cells represent distinct nontrivial elements of $\pi_1(K^1),$ where $K^1$ is the one-skeleton. Again seems to be true under your assumptions. $R$ are the relations (given by attaching maps of the 2-cells, I imagine), "independent" is too complicated to explain here (look at the paper), but in any case, the "not a proper power" condition is easy to violate.
EDIT Actually, independent is not too hard to explain. The definition is: a relator $r$ is independent if, setting $M$ to be the normal closure of $r,$ and $N$ the normal closure of $R - r,$ $M \cap N = [ M, N].$
As @Benjamin points out, above I am answering the complementary question, so to get the example that the OP wants, we need three independent elements in the free group on two generators which are not proper powers.
So, the one 0-cell forces the 1-skeleton to be a figure-8. And we attach three 2-cells to this figure-8. These cells can be attached to:
In the last case, we get a generator for $\pi_2$ from the resulting sphere; and without any 3-cells, any generator that shows up will produce non-trivial homotopy.
Suppose, thus, that the last case does not occur. Then we would be distributing three 2-cells on 2 loops. Regardless of how we do this, at least two 2-cells attach to the same loop, possibly with different winding numbers. Unless all three 2-cells attach to the same loop, the fundamental group will be trivial. If $\pi_1$ is indeed trivial, then because $H_2(X)=Ab \pi_2(X)$, it follows that $\pi_2(X)$ is indeed non-trivial. If all three 2-cells attach to the same loop, then the space is a wedge of a circle and the CW-complex on 1 0-cell, 1 1-cell and 3 2-cells. Being a wedge, if the homotopy on a factor is non-trivial, the entire homotopy will also be, and for the factor of the three attached 2-cells, the above argument with the abelianization also works out.
... or at least, that's how I would approach it. Would those here who know homotopy theory now please tell me why this cannot possibly work? ;-)

Spring Essentials
Kiwi fruit grow on vigorous vines. Grow them on trellises or espalier them along fences or walls for ornamental landscaping that also delivers fruit high in Vitamin C. Hardy kiwi vines, like the Issai, will produce smooth fruit in a range of climates in USDA zones 4-9. Issai is also a convenient vine since it is self-fruitful (meaning it produces both male and female flowers).
Want the familiar fuzz? Find those on our tender kiwi vines. Even the tender vines need some winter chill, so they do best in USDA zones 7-9. You'll need at least one male (Tomuri) and one female (Vincent) vine for pollination. Remember, the prime requirements for kiwis are good drainage and ample water. Pull any perennial weeds from the site. In our video Tricia added a sprinkler to her drip irrigation system to give her vine the moist, but not waterlogged, soil it needs for good root growth. Water is key for kiwis to bear their heavy crops.
Even though the Issai vines are winter hardy while dormant, in their youth those vines can be winter killed. In the wintertime it's a good idea to wrap the trunk of the hardy kiwi vine while it is 1 - 4 years old.
Kiwi vines will cooperate with a number of trellising styles. You can plant them at the corners of a large arbor, train them along trellises, or grow them espalier style along fences. Choose your support system and install it before you plant the kiwi vines. The hardy kiwi vines we carry are moderately vigorous and will grow about 6' - 12' a year, much less than their tender, fuzzy cousins that can grow as much as 30' in a year.

Press-Gazette ArchivesAnd no wonder - it's a beauty.
Vince Lombardi enjoying a Coke in the locker room, surrounded by Jim Taylor, Paul Hornung and Bart Starr. Taylor, like his coach, is enjoying a Coke. Hornung has a cigarette and Starr a rather uncomfortable facial expression.
The uniforms can help narrow our timeframe; the green/white/gold pant stripes were only used through 1962. In 1963 the Packers adopted the green/white/green Braisher stripe pattern they still wear today.
Similarly, that jewelry on Lombardi's finger looks like a men's fashion ring than the Packers' 1961 World Championship ring. That could help us narrow it down even further - perhaps even to that 1961 Championship Game itself.
If we could see more of Hornung's number font, maybe we could know for sure.
UPDATE 9/26: We have confirmation - Tom Farley recognized the locker room as County Stadium. Jeff Ash from the Green Bay Press-Gazette recognized the photo as one of theirs, and was able to supply us with this caption:
In the locker room at County Stadium after clinching Western Division championship with a 20-17 victory over the New York Giants on Dec. 3, 1961.Jeff comes through again! I have added a photo credit to the image above.
I'm glad that our little detective work had us on the right track. I had the year right, and it was a victory party of sorts, just not the one I thought it might be. This was Week 12 out of a 14-game season, when the Packers clinched their conference.
Looking at the Milwaukee Journal's coverage of the game, we get a couple good shots of the game itself, including a photo of the Packers wearing the blue-and-gold sideline capes left over from previous years:
The only thing I love more than a good mystery is a good mystery solved.

I have never seen that show, but judging by my love for Gossip Girl since the very first episode, I am sure I would like it! I did buy that song though, and have listened to it on repeat since last night. I see what you mean...
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! It should be a beautiful one in NYC!

British Intel
Wanted To Bust Liquid Bomb Terrorists After Attack
According to news reports the British government and MI5 wanted to wait at least a week before busting the liquid terror cell that their agents had fully infiltrated, including planting a mole within the bomb squad. From the acknowledged timeline and admission that the real attack was scheduled for August 16th - little else can be deduced but the shocking fact that MI5 wanted the bombings to go forward - arresting the perpetrators only after the attack.
It has been revealed that the alleged terrorist cell who planned to blow up ten planes using liquid explosives had been completely infiltrated for weeks before the announcement of the foiled plot by British intelligence. From the evidence at hand allied with past history - it can be reasonably claimed that an MI5 mole within the group orchestrated the entire operation.
The British Daily Mail newspaper carried details of how MI5 'sneek and peek' teams had discovered and bugged the terror cell's bomb making lab and, "Allowed the terror plot to almost reach fruition - potentially putting civilian lives at risk."
"During months of careful work, the specialists are understood to have managed to get inside the gang's bomb-making factory - giving final confirmation that the plotters were indeed planning mass murder."
"In earlier, unrelated, anti-terrorist operations, MI5 specialists had managed to remove explosive compounds from one terror cell and replace it with inert material."
"But in this case MI5 chiefs decided this was not an option - making it even more critical that the plotters were watched 24 hours a day."
The report says that the infiltration was undertaken by SAS specialists who had conducted similar operations against the IRA in Northern Ireland.
The London Times also cited a Pakistani intelligence official close to the British intelligence services as saying, "That there may have been a British mole planted by the security services inside the terror cells in the UK."
This individual would probably be in a perfect position to know the extent to which MI5 had infiltrated and steered the group. Yesterday we exposed the Pakistani ISI and CIA control of radical militant and terrorist groups and how any link to Pakistan is a link to intelligence agency handlers behind the alleged terror cell that planned to explode ten planes with liquid bombs.
The key to this story becomes apparent when it is considered together with an NBC News report which stated that British authorities, having gained full knowledge of the alleged time frame of the plot, wanted to wait at least another week before busting the terror cell.
News of the foiled attack was announced on the morning of Thursday 10th of August, which means the intelligence agencies wanted to arrest the terror cell only on Thursday August 17th or after.
Since it has now been confirmed that the attack was scheduled to take place on Wednesday August 16th - what other conclusion can be drawn other than that MI5 - having infiltrated, surveilled and placed an agent within the terror cell for weeks - wanted to allow the attack to proceed and only round-up the perpetrators after the deaths of an estimated 3,000 people?
The admitted timeline tells no other story. The attacks were due six days after the bust was announced yet MI5 only wanted to intervene at least seven days later - which would have been at least one day after the attack had already taken place.
To understand how British intelligence service spies do not just infiltrate but also steer, prod and manipulate terror cells into carrying out real acts of terror, it is necessary to recall one of our previous investigations into how MI5 and MI6 took over the IRA from within and used it as a provocateur tool for political posturing. To recap, it is reported that SAS specialists who had also infiltrated IRA cells in Northern Ireland were the individuals tasked with eavesdropping on and infiltrating the liquid bombers.
Starting from at least the 1980's, SAS and British military intelligence agents were routinely ordered to embed themselves within violent branches of the IRA and aid terrorists in carrying out attacks. How do we know this happened? Because one of the individuals who was ordered to do so, Kevin Fulton, blew the whistle on the fact that he was told he had the Prime Minister's blessing to aid terrorists in bomb making and political assassinations.
In addition, mirroring the backdrop of the infiltration of the liquid bomb plot, the August 15th 1998 Omagh bombing was allowed to proceed despite the fact that MI5 had fully infiltrated the Real IRA terror cell, knew the date of the bombing, and had tracked the terrorists' vehicle as it was driven to the bomb site. Again, in this case MI5 had one of their own agents within the bomb squad itself. In this instance, the bombing went forward and 29 people, including two babies and nine children, were ripped apart as they shopped in the quiet market street.
Parallels of the liquid explosives plot to the London bombings are also as telling as they are disturbing. Recent media reports concerning the alleged attack ringleader Mohammed Siddique Khan's movements have brought to light evidence that Khan's Honda Accord was bugged by MI5 prior to the bombings. Though denied by the Metropolitan Police, this would again sync with the supposition that Khan was doing the bidding of British intelligence when four bombs ripped apart three trains and a bus on July 7, killing 52 and injuring more than 770.
The fact that British intelligence were controlling the 7/7 terror cell or at least had full knowledge of its intentions is also echoed by former London Metropolitan Police detective and terror expert Charles Shoebridge - who says the evidence clearly suggests that Khan was working as an informant for MI5.
Having infiltrated the bomb squad, who were likely unwitting dupes who thought they were part of a security drill using dummy explosives, MI5 directed the bombing to commence.
It seems they were willing to go to the same lengths with the liquid bomb plot - and only a snap decision to abort or a courageous whistleblower prevented the next 9/11 from being inflicted upon us - with the deliberate inaction of MI5 greasing the skids.
Despite the shocking nature of this conclusion, unfortunately it fits in with past activity and the otherwise incomprehensible nature of the supposed timeline that the terror cell were coordinating with.
UK citizens should demand an immediate impartial investigation into why British intelligence wanted to sacrifice the lives of 3,000 mainly British and American citizens before arresting ringleaders of a terror cell that they had covertly and successfully infiltrated for months preceding the snap announcement of the foiled plot.

News du Joir
A few big items today I figured I'd post about…
History Repeats Itself
Oh boy. Nashville pulled a Chicago and forgot to qualify several rfas per Nick Kypreos. "@RealKyper: Big #NHL news as some question #Predators missing qualifying offers on RFA's O'Reilly, Spaling, Halischuk and Kostitsyn." Chicago did this back in 2009. From digging, it looks like they actually did attempt to qualify the players, but the qualifying offers were sent by mail on the final day (uh… dur???) rather than by courier/fax as they usually are. Not sure what the case is with the Preds.
Jagr going to…
Looks like it will be the Pittsburgh Penguins winning this one. Nothing official yet, but Twats out there tell me it will be something like 1 year at $2.1M.
Chris Drury will indeed be bought out
Looks like Drury will indeed be bought out, according to this article here.
I didnt know players could waive medical exceptions. Perhaps something similar could happen to Gilbert Brule, but I doubt he'd go for it since he doesn't have a team lined up.
Updated at 1:20 PM….. James Wisniewski has been traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a conditional 7th round pick in 2012 (becomes a 5th if the Jackets actually sign him). He will become a UFA if he is not re-signed before Noon ET on July 1st. So the Jackets obviously hope to sign him before then. They will be the only team that can talk to him / his agent in that regard until that deadline.
Updated at 1:56 PM…. Roli re-signs with the Tampa Bay Lightning – 1 year at $3M.

Demi Lovato Reveals Why She Painted Her Hands Black in 'Heart Attack' BTS Video
Demi Lovato's hands were coated in thick, shiny black paint for her 'Heart Attack' video. The image of her hands slicked in an oily-looking substance is emblematic of the video and the singer revealed just why she did "that."
"The video is all about being afraid to fall in love because you don't to get hurt again," the singer said. "So you see me in all white, representing something pure. But the black on my hands represents the things I can't let go of. It's the leftover pain and suffering from past relationships."
That's a pretty deep thought right there.
Lovato also revealed what she was going for, fashion-wise, in the clip, which features the singer shifting between both light and dark in terms of her makeup and her clothes. She revealed that she wanted something sophisticated yet rocker and chic at the same time, which is what her personal style has been evolving towards over the past year.
She was also able to step into heels, which was a big deal since she was walking wounded for so long. It was the first time she wore heels since she broke her ankle, so she had to be careful hobbling around on them. The good thing that came out of that? "I was able to perform more through my face and my emotions, and my body language up top," she said.
Lovato also said that her face coming out of the black paint was about stepping into a new beginning.
It makes you think differently about the song and the vid, doesn't it?

April 27, 2004
Los Angeles — Daniel Kahneman, Professor of Psychology at Princeton University and Nobel Laureate in Economics presented the 2003-2004 Jacob Marschak Memorial Lecture to the Marschak Colloquium at UCLA Anderson on Friday, April 30. Professor Kahneman's presentation was entitled, "Towards A Science Of Well-Being." The event was cosponsored by the Center for Governance, the Metanexus Institute Local Societies Initiative on Awe-inspiring Experiences; the UCLA Department of Economics; the UCLA Center for Behavior, Evolution, and Culture; the UCLA Department of Psychology; and the UCLA Anderson School interdisciplinary research group on Behavioral Decision Making (BDM).
Daniel Kahneman has won numerous awards, including the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economics, the Grawmeyer Prize in Psychology (with Amos Tversky) and the Hilgard Award for Career Contributions to General Psychology. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Econometric Society. He is best known for a series of papers co-authored with Tversky that advanced what has become known as prospect theory.
Prospect Theory
Prospect theory describes how individuals make decisions under risk and uncertainty. This model suggests that decision makers represent options (prospects) available to them in terms of potential losses and gains relative to a reference point. Usually this reference point is the status quo but the reference point can be manipulated through the description of options so that different descriptions give rise to different choices (in stark contrast to rational choice models). For instance, physicians sometimes recommend different treatments for serious diseases if consequences are described in terms of survival rates versus mortality rates. Prospect theory represents value of potential consequences with an S-shaped utility function in which decision makers exhibit decreasing sensitivity to increasing losses and gains, and in which they are more sensitive to losses than to equivalent gains. Loss aversion is thought to underlie, for example, people's tendency to attach a higher selling price to objects that they own (so that parting with them would entail a loss) than they would have spent to acquire these objects in the first place (when acquiring them entailed a potential gain). Finally, in prospect theory probabilities are weighted by an inverse-S shaped weighting function that overweights small probabilities and underweights moderate and large probabilities. Overweighting of small probabilities explains, for example, why people pay a premium to gamble on long shots (i.e., are risk-seeking for low-probability gains) and also pay a premium to acquire insurance (i.e., are risk-averse for low-probability losses). An article by Kahneman and Tversky entitled Prospect Theory (link below) is reportedly the most cited paper that has appeared in Econometrica, arguably the top journal in economics.

2004 Marschak Memorial Lecture Abstract - "Towards A Science Of Well-Being"
The topic of well-being has been attracting increasing interest in several disciplines of social science in recent years. The two central puzzles of this field are that the effects of life circumstances on well-being are surprisingly small – there is much adaptation – and that country differences are surprisingly large. These observations have been made with standard instruments in which individuals report how happy or satisfied they are with their lives. This measurement approach is vulnerable to common flaws of global retrospective assessments. An alternative approach will be described, which focuses on the quality of the experiences that constitute a life, where the experiences are evaluated separately. Some recent developments in the neuroscience of well-being will be reviewed, in the context of a proposal for the development of instruments that social scientists can adopt without methodological guilt.

MNsure Lands $41 Million Federal Government Grant
ST. PAUL (AP) — Minnesota's health insurance exchange has received a $41 million federal government grant to continue the exchange's rollout.
Officials of the exchange, known as MNsure, announced the Health and Human Services grant on Thursday. MNsure had applied for $44 million.
MNsure.org is the online marketplace where Minnesotans shop for health insurance coverage. The agency reported last week that more than 3,700 people have signed up so far.
The federal grant will be used for general operations at MNsure, along with IT work, technology costs including security training, consumer satisfaction surveys and other costs.
MNsure enrollment began Oct. 1 and is scheduled to run through next March. Insurance purchased before mid-December will take effect on Jan. 1.

"Who Else Wants Their Bloodhound to Be Well Behaved Around People and Other Dogs? And Have Them Obey All Of Your House Rules... Even When You're Not Around!"
I'll teach you a quick and easy way to educate and train your Bloodhound. Regardless of his age and even if your dog has no previous training...GUARANTEED.
Dear Bloodhound owner (or future Bloodhound owner),
Before I reveal the secrets to make your Bloodhound behave appropriately, always listen to you and not use your house as his bathroom , I want you to answer the following questions honestly:
- Did you look past these issues previously? When you try to give an order to your Bloodhound, does he not pay attention? Are you unaware of how to get your dog to follow your commands and learn what you're tirelessly trying to teach it?
- Are you tired of cleaning feces and urine from under the bed, behind the sofa and everywhere else in your house for that matter? And although you punish your Bloodhound for bad behavior, does it still have this bad habit?
- Is your Bloodhound worse than a spoiled child? Does he chew on your shoes, clothes, furniture and everything in between? Does your Bloodhound jump all over people? Every day, does your dog bite you harder and harder? Perhaps your Bloodhound barks a lot? Or maybe when you take it out on a walk it pulls the leash?
- Do you want to train your Bloodhound, but simply do not have the time to do it? Do you feel hopeless and angry when it does not obey you? Would you like to learn a simple and quick trick to train your Bloodhound and end their bad behaviors forever?
If your answer is "YES" to any of these questions, then you are at the right place to find the solution to your problem.

See What Others Have to Say
Below are testimonials of satisfied clients who have followed my advice in training their Bloodhounds.
"I bought the eBook recently, and I've gotten my dog to sit when ordered. I am also able to get him to remain seated until called. I think very soon I will achieve all my goals with my dog."
Alice Smith. Kansas
"I am very happy with the purchase; it is more pleasant bathing and brushing my dog. When it's time to go for a walk her behavior is cheerful and attentive; no more leash tugging!"
Zelene. Maryland
"So far I have taught my dog to go the bathroom outside the house, in the yard. I have also achieved something very important which is how we must love our pet because it is a family member; I pay much more attention to how the Bloodhound acts. I now know that one must first understand the psychology a dog before training it, and believe me, it took a lot to practice. As you stated in your comments regarding food items: I must let my dog know that he is a member of a litter and that litter has a leader. By following your advice first I am well on the way to achieving all my goals, thank you."
Gilbert Barnes. Louisiana
"I've learned to teach my dog without hitting him, rubbing his nose in its mess; these acts are no longer needed! I actually learned how to teach him to go to the places I want him to go. If I do not want him to chew shoes, furniture or anything you do not want him to play with, you must buy toys that can entertain without injuring anything or anybody. I bought him some footballs and we have a sensational time playing with him now. I see new behavior unfolding before me every day, and we treat him as a member of the family; I try to give quality time, though my work takes up most of my time, I give quality not quantity, but we enjoy it together. Thanks Mark!"
Katy Rivera. México
"Understanding that their behavior is the main indicating factor, along with the many tips to help me raise her better; I now understand and treat her better, taking better advantage of the cues in her behavior without spoiling her. My Bloodhound has almost grown to its full potential... and I'm still in the process... she no longer does damage, and she is compliant with all the gushing; she wants to greet people by jumping on top of them, but no longer barks when left alone."
Ursula. Wyoming
"I got him to learn his name, he comes when I call, and we also worked with him in obedience training. Your eBook was, and remains, very useful. It is the only text I use."
Marvin. Oregon
Raymond. Alabama
"I've learned to understand its behavior better and to understand how they, the dogs, think."
Danielle Walker. Toronto
"I have a dog that is 10 years old and been with us since he was a puppy; I could never teach him to pee outside the house, and indeed he has now become a very obedient dog… I never knew why he kept misbehaving until now! My puppy is only three months old and they quickly learned that it must be done away from the home... it's amazing how easy it is if you just know the facts."
Violeta Sánchez. México
"I think the main benefit I got out of your eBook is the ability to understand, and thus not physically punish him when he was acting out. I've seen a huge change in attitude because of the methods provided in this eBook I felt closer to him and obviously I found it intellectually easier to understand Bloodhounds in general and act accordingly."
Herbert Turner. Maryland
"Through the eBook I managed to control the physiological needs of my dog, established a permitted area for specific things, taught him proper socialization, obedience with children, to respond to calls immediately, and to respect forbidden areas."
Rolf Lewis. Alabama
"One of the benefits of your eBook is that now there is no poop in the house unless it rains, in which case she does it on the newspaper. She comes when called by name and gives toys when asked."
Lorena. Illinois

If you're lucky enough to have a breakfast nook in your home, you know how relaxing it can be to unwind and sip on a cup of coffee in this small, cozy area. That being said, you want its interior to be just as pleasing to the eye as it is to you when you sit down for your morning joe. Here are some tips on how to improve the overall decor in your breakfast nook and make it one of the most prized areas of your home.
1. Make natural lighting a priority.
If it's been some time since you've changed the discount window treatments in your nook, there's no better opportunity to do so than now. Allowing more natural light to flow into a space can make it feel welcoming and create the illusion of additional space. Consider wood blinds in your nook to further that warm, cozy feeling and give you control over how much sunlight enters the area.
2. Use neutrals for elegance.
Better Homes and Gardens magazine recommends using neutral colors such as brown and eggshell to create an elegant, luxurious feeling in your nook. This can also make it so you can use the space for more than just breakfast - a get-together with friends over a small dinner won't be out of the question in an area that emits a feeling of both comfort and style.
3. Bring in a rug.
As the Huffington Post reports, you might just need an area rug to make your breakfast nook feel more cozy and chic. The right rug can anchor the rest of your interior design and give additional character to the space, making it a highlight of your home.�

10 Tips for Ride-Alongs
Dr. Richard Weinblatt
9) No Weapons, No Handcuffs
Unless you are a sworn officer from another agency who is allowed to have your police firearm and equipment with you, don't bring a gun, handcuffs, or any other police gear on the ride-along. Most agencies have rules that prohibit such items even if you have a carry concealed weapon permit or license (CCW).
The only exception to the police equipment guidance offered is to wear a bullet resistant or ballistic vest. As a patrol division deputy sheriff, I had a spare vest in the trunk of my marked Chevrolet Caprice that would have ride-alongs wear. If you have your own, you may want to wear it hidden under your outer shirt.

Extreme Jeep Wrangler JKPosted in Project Vehicles on June 1, 2010
Using the word extreme conjures up images of death-defying obstacles, such as monster rocks, deep mud pits, and raging rivers. While we do attempt to conquer these types of terrain at times, for the most part our daily driver is enough of a 4x4 for us. Of course we could build the baddest buggy that can scale tall buildings, but that means we probably won't be taking it to the corner store in the rain for a loaf of bread.
Enter the Mopar Extreme Rubicon Wrangler. There's no debate that the Rubicon JK is the absolute best 4x4 available from the factory, bar none. But like any trail rig there are plenty of opportunities for an upgrade, so Mopar answered the call and now has the most popular aftermarket components available. For those who don't know, Mopar is the parts division of Chrysler, so Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram trucks all have replacement, optional, and aftermarket parts available, with that all-important factory connection.
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon can be driven from the showroom to the Rubicon trail, or Moab, or nearly anywhere in the country. While its biggest drawback for road and trail is the underpowered engine, we'd also like a three-speed transfer case, as the stock 4-to-1 low range can be too low for tire spin and too high for the anemic powerplant.
But Mopar has come out with more than just the requisite shiny bling and floor mats. We were lucky to test this rolling testbed equipped with prototype 4.88 axle gears, which help make up for aftermarket 35-inch tires. The factory 4.10 gears simply won't turn 35s with any alacrity unless a Hemi upgrade is performed, so the new cogs make a great difference. Even with the addition of a ton (OK, maybe 1/4 ton) of added Mopar steel protection in the form of rock rails, diff guards, bumpers, and a winch, the little engine that could safely propelled us through a few thousand miles of on- and off-road testing.
Of course this all comes at a price, but if you were going to upgrade the stock Rubicon anyway, why not start with Mopar? On this particular vehicle Mopar threw everything on, from the Hutchison/Mopar beadlock wheel set for $3K, to the Warn winch and bumper for $2K, to the 2-inch lift for $1.5K and the like. Sure, you can find it cheaper, but all this and the corner guards, rock rails, lights, skidplates, diff covers, grab handles, and so on are all designed to fit right the first time and are Chrysler-approved. In addition, it's all available at a dealer and can be installed there as well. If you do it when you buy your new JK, you might be able to have the extra $12K rolled into your payment on the new ride, which makes for a bigger monthly payment but no need sock away nuts until you can play. Check out all the new goodies at www.mopar.com or your local Jeep dealer.

What remains unknown-and may never fully be accounted for-is how much money secretive shadow money organizations spent, with some investing massive sums on ads, but also on unreported and purportedly non-political activities, as the election neared. It may take years to determine how much they spent.

Gemstone and Cocktail Rings
Most of the beautiful pieces here are what EraGem considers to be cocktail rings. In times past, antique cocktail rings were only worn on formal occasions. Now days it is totally in style to wear a huge gemstone ring with jeans or for a casual event. We love this development in style because big gemstone rings are some of the most stunning forms of jewelry and should be enjoyed as often as possible. Whether shopping for a specific birthstone ring or a special bauble in gold or platinum for a gift or anniversary, we highly recommend going with a vintage cocktail ring. Gemstones come in all colors of the rainbow so there is something here for everyone that loves jewelry.

Who Else Wants to Raise Venture Capital?
If you're interested in raising venture capital for your business, this will be the most important website you ever visit.
My name is Dave Lavinsky, and I've been helping entrepreneurs like you raise venture capital since 1999. My clients have raised more than $1 Billion, and as a result, we've received a lot of recognition from the press.
I've organized all of my best strategies and tips into a step-by-step system that you can use to get funded faster. I call this system "Venture Capital Pitch Formula." Watch this free video presentation to learn more about my proven methodology and how you can apply it to your business.
In the meantime, I want to share with you the four steps to raising venture capital.
Step 1. Preparation
The first step is to do some homework. Before you can expect to receive funding, you need to be prepared to answer some important questions such as "How much money do you want to raise?" Also, consider how much ownership in your company you're ready to give to investors. Next, you need to do some research to identify the perfect venture capitalists for your business, and I'll show you exactly how to do that.
Step 2. The Approach
Once you know who you're going to approach for funding, you need to make sure you do it right... because you only get 1 first impression. That means you need to perfect your elevator pitch, and you also need to know how to network and build rapport with investors. I give you all the strategies and tactics you need to make the initial contact a success, so you get your VC meeting...
Want to learn more? Watch this free video presentation to discover the #1 secret to raising venture capital.
Step 3. The Pitch
OK, at this point you've piqued the venture capitalist's interest and it's time to make your VC presentation (also known as the "pitch"). Do you know what to say, and precisely what order you should structure your presentation? Do you know the common mistakes and pitfalls to avoid when presenting to investors? I've been helping entrepreneurs present to investors for more than 10 years, and I'll share with you all of my best strategies for getting investors to say "YES"...
Step 4. The Close
Once you've dazzled investors with your presentation, the next step is the term sheet. And here's where the venture capital negotiations begin. If you're not prepared for this stage in the funding process, bad things can happen... The deal could go south, or worse, you can end up losing control of your company. I'll show you how to make sure you're prepared for due diligence, and I'll even show you what you can do to gain the upper hand in VC negotiations...

Working in Anadalucia I am an aussie (with Spanish passport & relies near Valencia). I have returned from my second holiday in 2 yrs and have finally decided I need to spend a year in Spain to really learn the language and immerse myself in the way of life!!! I have been making enquires about teaching English and the general message I seem to get is to 1) get TESOL 2) go to Spain and see the schools direct... I would love to hear from anyone with some advice. Have you gone this way before or is it better to go through an agency.. if so who? Is the best time to start looking - June or July, before the September start of the school year.. I have fallen in love with the Granada area, particularly Las Alpujarras region and would like to teach in smaller rural areas that are close to major centres eg Orgiva etc. What chance would l have of teaching in schools in smaller towns?, if not - Granada or even Seville. Love to hear some experiences/advice/opinions.

Like you, many others also dream of working in Granada or Sevilla. The advice I always give people is, "Go to Madrid". Once you go there, you'll understand why: most job opportunities are in Madrid. I see that you have relatives in Valencia (a nice city indeed); if you have any relatives or close friends in Granada/Sevilla I suppose you could go there and check it out, that wouldn't hurt. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm only telling you about the reality of the situation. You CAN find work in cities like Granada...but it's not as easy. And think very carefully about where you want to work. Granada might be a nice place to spend a holiday, but it's no Madrid or Barcelona.

The Warwick Police responded to a report of a car colliding with a box truck at the intersection of Centreville Road and the Route 95 north off- ramp around noon on Tuesday.
The accident involved a passenger car operated by John Toney, 47, of North Kingstown, and a box truck.
James Serpa, 43, of Thornton, N.H., was driving the nearly empty truck and there were no passengers in either vehicle at the time. The operator of the car had to be extricated from his vehicle and was transported by the Warwick Rescue to Rhode Island Hospital with serious injuries.
Exit 10 on Centreville Rd. had to be closed for several hours due to the crash and the cleanup. The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management responded to assist with the cleanup of diesel fuel that leaked from the box truck as a result of the crash.
Investigators are interviewing witnesses to the collision. Initial investigation shows that the passenger vehicle was traveling eastbound when it lost control, striking the box truck in the westbound lane of travel. Investigators believe that Toney may have suffered a medical incident prior to the collision; however, the investigation is ongoing to determine if speed or alcohol were factors. Lt. Michael Gilbert said yesterday that Toney remains in serious but not life-threatening condition at Rhode Island Hospital.
Any person with information related to the collision is requested to contact the Warwick Police Department Traffic Division at 468-4293.

Pacific Islands May Become Refuge for Corals in a Warming Climate, Study Finds
Scientists have predicted that ocean temperatures will rise in the equatorial Pacific by the end of the century, wreaking havoc on coral reef ecosystems. But a new study by WHOI scientists shows that climate change could cause ocean currents to operate in a surprising way and mitigate the warming near a handful of islands right on the equator. As a result these Pacific islands may become isolated refuges for corals and fish.

Study Amplifies Understanding of Hearing in Baleen Whales
For decades, scientists have known that dolphins and other toothed whales have specialized fats associated with their jaws, which efficiently convey sound waves from the ocean to their ears. But until now, the hearing systems of their toothless grazing cousins, baleen whales, remained a mystery, largely because specimens to study are hard to get. Now, a new study by scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has shown that some baleen whales also have fats leading to their ears.

Protect the firearms that you depend on. Microlon Gun Juice was created to be used on firearms in place of normal gun oils. The Microlon film increases muzzle velocity and improves accuracy. The super slick film reduces the wear coming from friction and delivers smoother operation of all moving parts. Microlon Gun Juice helps prevent rust and corrosion by creating a barrier on the metal surfaces of your firearm.
One ounce of Microlon Gun Juice is about enough to treat four handguns or one rifle or one shotgun.
This kit contains a 1 oz. bottle of Liquid Gun Juice and a 3/4 oz. Assembly Lube.
Because Microlon Aerosol contains the cleansing agents, it may be harmful to paint finishes and rubber or plastic parts. Do not use on painted surfaces or on rubber or plastic parts. If the spray comes in contact with those surfaces, wipe away with a clean cloth.
The Microlon resin is small enough to be forced into the pore structure of metal and other surfaces. When the Microlon film forms on the metal surface, that surface is then protected from elements that create corrosion, such as dirt, grit, grime and oxygen. The film also helps make clean up easier.

Is it possible to make a post or page that can only be found by a link?
I send an email to Bill Jones with a link " www. website .com/newcontact/Bill_Jones"
when Bill gets the email he follows the link to a page that is customized for him.
I don't want the page to show up anywhere in menus ect so that other new contacts do not see a list with their name and 50 other names.
I have tried making "New Contact" category and making the posts private but if you remove "Billl_Jones" from the url in browser then you see all the post listed as names.
In Atahualpa post Options i have checked the "NOT display the Body Title on Single Post or Static Pages" box.
Any ideas?
Thanks Harry

For the Hall of Fame game, seeing starters play usually is a blink-and-you-missed-it proposition. As to Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, you may be able to miss him without blinking.
Coach Jason Garrett told 105.3 The Fan on Friday that Romo may not make the usual starting-quarterback cameo in the extra preseason game that the Cowboys will play against the Dolphins.
Which, of course, will make a meaningless preseason game even more meaningless.
"It's one of those deals where I suppose he could play five plays or whatever, but we might lean to no plays,'' Garrett said. "But the clock starts on our [first-teamers] in Week Two of the preseason. So that's not going to be Tony's game.''
Based on the front end of the answer, Romo may play a little bit. Based on the back end of the answer, he won't be playing at all. Which makes sense, given that Romo had offseason surgery to remove a cyst from his back, causing him to miss the offseason program and to be limited in training camp, so far.
Backup Kyle Orton also apparently won't play.
"That's going to be a Nick Stephens game and an Alex Tanney game," Garrett said.
Which, unless Tanney will be doing his trick shots during the game, could make this year's Hall of Fame game a bit lame.
But millions will still tune in to watch it because: (1) it's football; (2) it's not baseball; and (3) it's on TV.
