What is the future of the internal combustion engine?
Some people believe this engine will be phased out eventually. Others think it'll only get better and better as the years roll on. I think there's an an upper boundary to how much better it can become, and therefore there'll come a day when someone will build a museum for them. What do you think?
With electric vehicles on the horizon and battery technology improving each year, a bright future for these engines is becoming harder and harder to see.

Aug 23 2013: There will be better engines. Just reflect a bit on engines history shall we? first true engine is the steam power, provide kinetic energy by generating and regulating steam, it is slow to start and bulky, yet it's the majority engine type at that time. nowadays steam engine belong in some type of power plants and the museum. then comes the age of combustion engine, it's much more compact than steam engine for the same power ratio, run on more active chemical reaction, faster to start and nowadays engine can be very smooth, efficient and quiet on the run. but there are limits into it: it involve lots of moving parts and eventually reach its minimum possible size. now in 10 or 20 years the electromagnetic based engine will be more prevalent. it has less moving parts, operate at lower temperature and has better efficiency, and probably manufactured out of 3D printer. but it's not the end. as we understand more about other types of energy fields, there will come engines utilizing probably gravity fields, with even much smaller size providing huge kinetic push, probably enough to levitate. just wait a couple more hundred years into it :) but there will be better engines. it's more on better technology rather than availability of fuel. since steam is still well available nowadays.

A woman wants a facelift and her surgeon tells her about a new procedure. "We put a dial in the back of your head and when your skin starts to sag you simply turn the knob."
"That sounds good," she says.
Two years later, she goes back and tells the surgeon that the dial is giving her bags under her eyes.
"I'm sorry," replies the surgeon, "but those aren't bags -- those are your tits."
"Oh," says the woman, "well that explains the goatee."

My five year old son is working very hard at reading, no doubt about that. The other day he was reading a book with me and as he always does, making sounds for alphabets in a word and then try to say the word. This wasn't his lucky time though. The word was 'STOPPED' and here he pronounced the word as 'STOP' 'ED' and till today he reads it 'STOP' ÉD' . Moreover in normal day to day chit chat he has started using the word 'STOP' 'ED' which makes everyone laugh . The Leap reader will definitely help him in taking the guess work out of reading and he will be able to expand his vocabulary in a fun way.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger gave the commencement address at Emory University on Monday.
His was a relatively non-political speech, but the Republican's prepared remarks included this:
"This is my first law degree.
"Finally, the Kennedys will think I'm a success. And Maria can finally bring me home to meet her family."
And this:
"I was also going to give a graduation speech in Arizona this weekend. But with my accent, I was afraid they would try to deport me."
On Sunday, we've come across evidence that the governator was attempting to form a rather strange political alliance. The evidence comes from a cigar party in Buckhead:

But why let facts get in the way. BTW…. Nice poll numbers Ahhhhnulllddd!

I think it's great that Arnold could be lighthearted with the students. He poked fun at Arizona, he poked fun at his wife's family, who he loves dearly. He probably made some other wisecracks along the way because he's a personable and funny guy. And, if it was anything like the commencement speech he gave at my school a couple of years back, he talked to the students about the keys to success–work hard, embrace your goal and stay positive through mistakes and disappointments, and surround yourself with a variety of good people.
His policy choices are up for debate. In my opinion, Governor Schwarzenegger's character is not. He's a good and decent man.

He also said ( to paraphrase) never doubt that we live in the greatest country in the world. He is grateful of living here and appreciates this country. I'm no liberal but found nothing offensive about his speech detailing hard work for success and working for charities.

"You know, at Harvard, they teach us to wash our hands after using the bathroom!" "Well, ain't that nice," replied the Emory student. "But at Emory, they teach us not to pee on our hands! Bye now!"

So Rich, where did you go to school to be so critical of Emory which is a top 20 school in the country, year in and year out? Being a top 20 school NOT in the NE or on the west coast (Emory, Northwestern, Washington University, etc.) is something to be proud of and is a major asset to those who graduate.
BTW – I saw Arnold's speech in person and it was quite funny with a good take home message. In short, to always strive for more, go get what you want, and don't listen naysayers. But ultimately, money and fame doesn't bring the happiness of helping others in need. Arnold claims that his success in bodybuilding, acting, and even politics doesn't measure up to his work in work in special education and the special olympics. Emory has hosted the special olympics in Georgia for 20 or 30 years and that was why he choose to speak at their commencement.

Why such hostility, Rich? Emory's faculty includes Salman Rushdie, Jimmy Carter and a special visiting appointment to the Dalai Lama. Along with Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice and a handful of other universities, it's providing first-rate education in a part of the country that desperately needs it. And the fact is that a majority of students at all of those schools come from outside the South.
I went to Emory for college and Harvard for graduate school, and I found lively, intelligent, passionate students at both. There's no need to get nasty. If you wouldn't say something like that in person, please refrain here. Thank you.

What's an "acceptable form of identification" under Arizona's new law? A driver's license or must one produce a certificate of birth? Obama has done that and there are still those who question whether he is a U.S. citizen. If a certificate of birth is the answer, who carries that thing around on their person?

Arnold is a panzie, he doesn't have pair, talk about cowardly! Anyone in a position of authority should not mock Enforcement of Laws. Jan Brewer has shown she has more Balls than this panzy ass. Arnold you have been shown-up by a woman, you are a fricken joke and a total failure as a governor!

This child of a Nazi was a failure of a Governor in California.
He made statements about how illegals were destroying the state and then recanted because he doesn't have the guts to do anything right.

To John Curtis. Am I reading correctly? You say the Governator has cleaned up the illegal alien problem in California? Surely you jest. If true, that's wonderful news. Maybe they've all come here to Texas. Now if we could get our governor, Little Ricky, to live up to some of his campaign promises, we may have our state back too.

California has been immeasurably damaged by massive unfettered illegal immigration (mostly from Mexico). Arnold Schwarzenegger's answer to California being overrun by millions of foreigners violating our labor, tax, and immigration laws is to support President Obama's scheme to make them U.S. citizens. California's public schools, emergency rooms, and jails and prisons have been overrun and severely degraded by millions of illegal immigrants. The truth is giving legal status or amnesty to illegal aliens would pour gasoline on a blazing fire. California faces financial ruin because it is costing the state over ten billion dollars in public services for illegal aliens. Schwarzenegger has been a colossal failure as governor including his total failure to stand up with U.S. citizens against illegal immigration.

Folks, you need to understand something about Arnold. Arnold is for Arnold. I have lived in California my whole life, and it used to be the most fantastic place in the U.S. if not the world. It was a financial powerhouse that occupied the eight largest economy IN THE WORLD!! Arnold has traded turns, blaming illegal immigration for Californias problems and then sucking up to foreign nationals illegally in the State. Believe me, he's not to be taken seriously. He changes like a chamleon only doesn't have that creatures skill, so obvious is his on and off pandering.

Racial profiling is wrong , what Arizona is doing is Wrong, I did'nt like you at first but i am seeing you under a different light and i think you are doing the right thing to boycott Arizona. in the Past Lots of Latinos have Voted for republicans but this Law in Arizona could be damaging to your party , People will not trust your Party anymore and vote in the Favor of Democrats. and there will be no trust with law enforcement if a crime has been committed , all of that will be gone. Racial Profiling will only open doors to racism , Being Mexican American and feeling like i am being profiled is not a good feeling in my own country. I would be feeling like i am a walking Target. Boycott Arizona.

Why I Don't Do My Weekly Shopping at Aldiposted by Andrea | 09/26/2013
Two questions I get on a VERY regular basis (like every single week) are:
1. Do you shop at Alid?
2. Why don't you shop at Aldi? (usually asked after I answer "no" to the first question)
Now, to be fair, I have nothing against Aldi stores in general — and I DO shop there every once in a while (like once every 4-5 months) to stock up on canned goods and chips — because they have great prices on those items.
I just don't do my regular weekly grocery shopping at Aldi (for a variety of reasons listed out below)
My mom shops at Aldi, many of my friends and relatives shop at Aldi, and I'm sure many of you shop at Aldi — that's fine. The store by me is ALWAYS jam packed any time I've been there, so obviously, not everyone shares my opinions
My intention in writing this post is in no way trying to persuade YOU not to shop at Aldi; I'm simply stating a few reasons why it doesn't seem to make sense for ME to shop at Aldi — and I'm officially typing it up in a blog post so I can link to this post whenever I get Aldi questions in emails (insert evil laughter!)
So, if you've ever emailed me wondering why I don't shop at Aldi — here's why!
1. The Aldi closest to me is not great.
I don't know, maybe I'm picky, but the only Aldi store that's remotely close to our home is extremely small, kind of dirty, and it's always very picked over (the last time I went, they were out of eggs, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yogurt!)
Also, I've been to this same Aldi many MANY times in the last 7 years and I don't think I've ever seen more than one cashier working at a time — which means the line is at least 10 people long (seriously). I've never waited less than 15-20 minutes to check out, and it's often longer.
Because I'm big on time management, I've frequently timed myself shopping at Meijer and then at Aldi, and I can almost always get in and out of Meijer faster than Aldi because of the ridiculously long checkout lines. (My record at Meijer is 17 minutes for a full week of groceries!)
2. Aldi has a lack of variety.
Honestly, there have been times when the massive variety of products at Meijer can actually be overwhelming for me. However, I do appreciate being able to choose from more than 3 types of yogurt (vanilla, blueberry, strawberry) and more than 3 types of cheese (cheddar, colby jack, mozzarella).
I'm not super brand loyal and I don't buy exotic foods or high-priced brands, but the Aldi store by me has an extremely limited selection of foods — and the produce is almost laughable.
They do have great prices on produce, but they rarely have it in stock to actually buy. As I mentioned earlier, the last time I went their specifically for potatoes (I was making lots of soup) and they were completely out of russet potatoes, red skin potatoes, and sweet potatoes. They were also out of bananas, apples, celery, and carrots — and this wasn't the first time they were out of what I needed.
3. Aldi only sell groceries.
This might sound like a "duh" answer — but I'm used to shopping at Meijer where I can get everything I need in one trip. For those of you who aren't familiar with Meijer, it's basically like a Super Target or Super Walmart.
On top of my weekly groceries, I can also buy a couple cans of spray paint for my next project, a flood light bulb for our front porch, a baby present for my friend's shower, a birthday card for my grandma, and fill a prescription — all without loading Nora in and out of the car 15 times and driving all around down.
Plus, I can grab a rotisserie chicken for $5 or a 40%-off HUGE deli pizza for about $3.99 if that's the plan for dinner (we do this once in a while).
For those of you who don't know me well, I absolutely HATE running errands, so the fact that I can do everything at one store at Meijer is pretty much a deal-clincher for me. Not only do I save time and gas money, I also save both my and Nora's sanity
4. Aldi doesn't save me time or money in the long run.
Aldi is known for having great prices on groceries without the need for special sales or coupons — and I totally get how this is appealing for most people. Aldi DOES have great prices on a lot of things, and as I mentioned above, I do shop there every once in a while to stock up on canned goods and chips.
However, after calculating my various Aldi trips (approximately $35-$40) versus Meijer trips (approximately $50), I figured that I only saved an average of $10-$15 per week. Now, that sounds like a lot, especially after adding it up week after week… BUT since I can rarely find everything I need at Aldi, I still have to go to Meijer to pick up the rest. This extra trip wastes time and gas — and also usually costs an extra $10-$15. So my over-all weekly totals end up almost identical.
I'm not a huge couponer, but I do save several dollars each week using coupons; and Meijer has some really good weekly sales, so if I just learn to stock up when items are on sale (and use coupons if I have them) I can often get better prices at Meijer. Plus, the Meijer store I shop at has a KILLER reduced produce rack and reduced bakery rack. I can fill my cart with product for pennies on the dollar — much cheaper than the prices at Aldi.
5. Aldi doesn't take credit cards.
I realize this might go against everything that Dave Ramsey followers believe, but Dave Dekker and I use our one credit card to buy everything. EVERYTHING. Then we pay off the entire bill at the end of the month.
Our credit card is a Meijer Master Card so we get extra discounts for buying gas and groceries at Meijer. We also get extra coupons mailed to us monthly for 5%, 15%, and even 20% off groceries and general merchandise. And if that isn't enough, at least once a month, I get a $5 off a $50 gift card purchase — which means I can buy a $50 gift card for $45 (and then turn around and use that gift card to buy groceries.)
So not only is it like a free $5 off, I can also use any other discount coupons AND dollar-off manufacturer coupons in one transaction (no, it's not as confusing as it might sound!)
I don't even own a debit card and I rarely carry cash, so if I'm going to shop at Aldi, I need to make a separate trip to the bank — which uses more gas and more time.
Again, I'm certainly not trying to say YOU shouldn't shop at Aldi — so please don't feel the need to defend yourself if you do. I realize that all Aldi stores are very different and you might have an extremely nice store by you, you might not have any other grocery stores to choose from, or you might love using cash
I also know for a fact that all Meijer stores are different and that the Meijer I shop at is extremely nice.
So for those of you who have questioned why I don't do my regular shopping at Aldi — hopefully this (really long) answer will help to explain!
Do you have a favorite (or least favorite) grocery store?

I'm the most loyal Meijer shopper. Haven't they changed your Meijer Credit Card rewards, though? They changed them so they are no longer giving out the 20% off H&B and groceries. Now it's just 5% off H & B and groceries and 15% off household. I used to sometimes get 3- 20% off coupons each month and we pay our bill off each month in full too, charging every single thing we can. When they switched their rewards plan back in May, it's not nearly as good. I joke that I was probably one of the reasons they had to switch it as they were actually losing money with me! Anyway, now we only use our Meijer card for gas and have switched to a better credit card with better rewards for everything else. Still love my Meijer store, though. I went in Aldi's once and was turned off, never to return again.
I don't shop ar Aldi's either and you pretty much covered all the reasons. Ours is just like you described. I only went there a couple of times and that was enough. Our local grocer and Super Walmart have everything I need, and we buy grass fed beef from a local farmer once a year.
I always have to tame my jealousy when you talk about Meijer, growing up in OH we loved it! Now in central PA and no Meijer and Walmart/Target do not even come close! Thankfully the Aldi stores near me are very nice and well stocked. I wouldn't buy nearly as much fresh produce if I didn't have an Aldi's.

My husband and I do as much of our grocery shopping at Aldi as we can. Our Aldi is fabulous and 5 minutes away. We also shop at Trader Joe's, Kroger, Costco, the local butcher, and the local farmer's market. But we're foodies, cheap, and childless, and all these stores (with the exception of Costco) are within a 10 minute drive.
Two things to add: Aldi and Trader Joe's are owned by the same parent company. As a frequent shopper of both stores, I can tell you that several products are the same, including the organic products. Put an Aldi label on it and it's half the price.
I worked as a cashier for Meijer for a few years about ten years ago (at the original Thrifty Acres location in Grand Rapids, no less!), I can tell you that employees of Aldi are compensated and treated FAR better than I ever was. That is worth the extra time and hassle to me.
I wish there was an Aldi near me! The closest one is at least 30 minutes away so it's totally not worth the savings once you factor in the time and gas. And we don't have Meijer here, so I have to be content with Target, Costco, and the grocery store
We have a lot of Aldi stores here and one that is conveniently situated near our gym. Aldi is my go to place for my baking supplies as they can be cheaper than those sold in bigger chain stores. Just be sure to check the fliers to see what they have in store and on sale.
Aldi's doesn't accept coupons. That's one policy I dislike. But most of the time, the brands they carry have no coupons to match so I guess to accept it is moot point.
Oh and their canned items are great for restocking!
Kristen @ Joyfullythriving09/28/2013
Well said, Andrea! I don't shop at Aldi often for much of the same reasons. My main reason is that it's on the opposite side of town (a 30 minute drive) verse Meijer (a 10 minute drive). Plus, I've found that if I watch sales, I'm still beating Aldi's low prices with sales and coupons. So, I stock up then – and save my time. Plus, we do the same thing with our credit cards that you do, so I have to be passing by Aldi – with cash in my wallet – for me to stop and shop there.
I think it's funny that so many people inquire as to whether or not you shop at Aldi. Maybe that's just because I've never been to Aldi? I've never lived where there was an Aldi, or a Meijer either. I'm blessed to currently have my two favorite grocery stores, HEB and Sprouts, right en route to our church and daughter's school. Super convenient. : )
My least favorite grocery store? Definitely Walmart. The produce is rarely good, I can never find anything, and since it's such a huge store, I end up walking like 5 miles backtracking all around the store, and then have to wait in a long line because there's usually only one lane open that isn't an express lane or self-check out(which doesn't always work well). How's that for a run-on sentence! ; ) I can't say I never go there, but it's not very often, and definitely not for a grocery trip! Oh, and last time I went to walmart to buy earbuds, they were all locked onto the shelf, so I had to get an employee just to pick out my $10 earbuds. Thankfully she let me take them to pay with my other items. She told me they normally make you pay for them right there…I guess I didn't look like a thief. Same thing with makeup. I wasn't buying any, but noticed that the entire aisle was behind locked glass! So you'd have to find an employee just to pick up some mascara! What are they going to lock up next? The candy aisle?! And, no, this was not in a bad part of town. Guess that's my rant on walmart…lol.
But what I think we should all take from this post is this: Do what works for YOU!
Great perspective! I also do not have an Aldi close to me, but it sure would be nice because of their great prices on chips, cereal, and random things that you need every so often. I always love your perspective on life and your website is always so encouraging! You make us think of things we probably haven't ever put much thought into. Thanks Andrea!
I feel the exact same way about shopping at Aldi.

The times they are a'changing and now the Nebraska State Legislature is trying to keep up.
Up until this week, State Senators were not allowed to use smartphones and tablets in committee hearings. But now all of that has changed.
On Monday, a new rule proposed by Senator Annette Dubas was passed allowing Senators to use their technology during hearings.
But with the rule, it's up to each committee chair on whether or not their committee can break out their iPads and iPhones.
"There's still been a real resistance to, is it appropriate to allow the use of this technology in committees. Does it appear like if we're using it we're not paying attention to what's going on so committee chairs have kind of had some reservations," said State Senator Annette Dubas, District 34.
Senator Dubas says she proposed the rule because she relies heavily on her own iPad for note taking.

Planetary Society Applauds Increased Science Funding for NASA
Mat Kaplan
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Planetary Society applauds Congress' work on the omnibus Appropriations bill, which includes $17.3 billion for NASA, the funding level requested by the Administration. This figure provides important increases for planetary exploration and restores funding for science. This is especially gratifying to Planetary Society members, who have campaigned for two years to Save Our Science in the NASA budget.
The Appropriations bill strongly supports Mars exploration, increases Research and Analysis funding, restores the Space Interferometry Mission, and provides preparatory funding for both a Solar Probe and an Outer Planets mission. The latter will probably be the Europa orbiter that The Planetary Society has long sought. In addition, Congress directed a boost in funding to both Earth science and the Earth observation program, which are crucial to understanding global climate change.
"If this Appropriations bill is passed, it will be an important victory for science and exploration," said Louis Friedman, Executive Director of The Planetary Society. "Congress has listened to Society members as well as to scientists and other members of the public. They heard our SOS – Save Our Science," he added.
About the Planetary Society
The Planetary Society has inspired millions of people to explore other worlds and seek other life. Today, its international membership makes the non-governmental Planetary Society the largest space interest group in the world. Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray and Louis Friedman founded the Planetary Society in 1980. Bill Nye, a long time member of the Planetary Society's Board, serves as CEO.

Report: Vt tourism a $1.7 billion industryBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | April 04,2013The tourism industry generated an estimated $1.7 billion in Vermont as nearly 14 million people visited the state in 2011, according to the biennial report released Wednesday by the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing.
Both the number of visitors and dollars spent in 2011 increased over 2009, when 13.7 million visitors spent $1.42 billion.
The report, A Benchmark Study of the Economic Impact of Visitor Expenditures on the Vermont Economy 2011, was released at the 30th annual Vermont Travel Industry Conference at the Stoweflake Resort in Stowe.
Highlights of the 2011 report include:
Record growth in visitor spending generated $274.5 million in tax and fee revenue, a 37.5 percent increase over 2009.
Visitor spending supported an estimated 37,910 jobs for Vermonters, accounting for approximately 11.5 percent of all jobs, and a 13.1 percent increase in employment in the hospitality and recreation sector since 2009.
Visitor spending supported 36 percent of the jobs at restaurants and drinking establishments, double the national average.
The states retail sector relies on visitor spending for 6.8 percent of its jobs compared with a national average of 2.9 percent.
Winter tourism continues to generate the most visitor spending: $577.4 million in 2011 with 3.87 million visitors; summer, $489.2 million and 4.14 million visitors; fall, $459.8 million and 3.57 million visitors; spring, $192.6 million and 2.36 million visitors.
Megan Smith, commissioner of tourism and marketing, said the state experienced some of the most significant growth in Jay and Stowe, where new hotels were built.
And despite the Great Recession that took hold in late 2008, she said Vermonts tourism sector weathered the downturn with increases in spending and the number of visitors.
Smith said that upward trend continued in 2010, 2011 and now into 2012.
She said preliminary reports of tax receipts for 2012 show meals, rooms and alcohol sales are up 4.73 percent over the prior year.
But Smith also said some areas of the state are doing better than others.
I think the southern part of the state since Irene were still struggling from Route 4 south, she said. I think theres still some residual Irene issues when you look around with stuff that hasnt been fixed yet and then just businesses, the lost rooms and lost bed base in some of these communities.
Smith said the state will use part of a federal grant to boost tourism in the Mount Snow area, which was hit hard by Irene.
Her department will also be working on a marketing campaign this summer in the Manchester-Bennington area that revolves around the arts.
The Department of Tourism and Marketing has an annual marketing budget of $2.25 million. That amount is doubled with the support of private-sector contributions.
The number of winter visitors increased slightly in 2011 over 2009, while summer and fall visitor numbers declined; spring visitors doubled in 2011 over 2009.
Smith attributed the jump in spring visitors to interest in maple syrup.
We promote the maple weekend, and weve just been stronger and stronger on that message because were getting such a response to those campaigns when we get out and talk about maple, she said.
This spring, Smith said, the state partnered with Amtrak, Cabot Creamery and Long Trail Brewery to promote the maple industry.
The states ski industry, which makes up the heart of winter tourism, is having a strong finish to the 2012-13 season.
Parker Riehle, president of the Vermont Ski Areas Association, said a strong March ensures that this season will surpass last years disappointing season, when the states 18 ski areas logged 3.9 million skier visits.
Its certainly the strongest March that the ski season has seen in years, said Riehle, who attended the annual travel conference Wednesday.
He said that depending on the final numbers, including April, the industry could break its 10-year average of 4.1 million skier visits.
Riehle said March continues what has been an incredibly strong season. He said rooms and meals tax revenues for December and January were up 12 percent and 11 percent, respectively, over the year-ago periods.
Vermont attracted 73 percent of the 13.95 million visitors in 2011 from out of state. U.S. visitors totaled 7.6 million; Canadian, 2.5 million; and other international, 78,000 visitors.
Vermonters made up a significant piece of the in-state tourism market with 3.8 million visitors.
Visitor spending generated tax and fee revenues in 2011 of $274.5 million, up from $199.6 million in 2009.

Why did slavery come to an end?
It did not come to end an end because it was horribly wrong,
it came to an end because of a
shift in opinion
by the people of the north to support a war against the south
What was the purpose of the war that ended slavery?
the purpose was not to end slavery'; the purpose was to save the union
what was the abolitionist movement
the crusade of the immediate abolitionism of slavery
when was the abolitionist movement
what two events mark the start and end of the abolitionist movement
publishing of "the liberator" (1831) and the 13th amendment (1865)
when was the liberator started
What was the
a newspaper that was created by William Lloyd Garrison that marks the start of the abolitionist movement
what issue did william lloyd garrison talk about in
the liberator
that started the abolitionist movement
the immediate abolition of slavery
why were the views of garrison so different from views of other people at that time
the insistence that slavery was
morally wrong
and that it needed to be abolished
what were the twin goals of abolitionism
immediate abolitionism of slavery
equal rights for free black
what was the northern opinion about slavery in general at the start of the abolitionism movement
northerners objected to slavery and saw a true threat from the south, fear the great slave power and the threat of free labor
why was northern opinion in general different from opinions of abolitionism
they did not call for the immediate abolitionism of slavery
what is the importance of abolitionism
without it, emancipation of slavery and the civil war would not have occurred when it did
what were some factors that were conducive to abolitionism
moral opposition to slavery in the north
the spirit of reform
emancipation of the british west indies
changes in mass communication
why was moral opposition to slavery in the north a factor that was conducive to abolitionism
they saw it as morally contradicting the declaration of independence- gives abolitionists a building block that does not exist in the south
why was the spirit of reform a factor that was conducive to abolitionism
there were many other causes like women's reform, school reform and prison reform - the was a spirit of reform in the air and abolitionism fed into these other causes
what was the spirit of reform
an active force that was promoted by a strong religious spirit; was the first time people made a career of reform
In connection to the spirit of reform, what was happening with religious revivalism?
the two were highly linked, with religious revivals taking place in the 1820s and feeding into the abolitionist cause
why was the emancipation of the british west indies a factor that was conducive to abolitionism
after commitment to cause in england, parliament abolishes slavery that was phased in over 8 years with compensation to slave owners- if england, the great tyrant had abolished slavery, they needed to take this step in the US
why were changes in mass communication factors that were conducive to abolitionism
the development of the steam press made printing cheaper and faster so lots of abolitionist newspapers and pamphlets were being published - this was needed to spread the ideas of the abolitionist movement
what were some barriers to abolitionism
strength of slavery in the south
importance of slavery to the US economy
racism in northern society
glorification in the union
why was the strength of slavery in the south a barrier to abolitionism
institution of slavery becoming stronger because of the cotton gin and slave codes- it was not a benevolent institution and had been becoming stronger
what were slave codes
they strictly enforced the institution of slavery because slaves were considered property, not human beings, and because slave were restricted in activities- they could not read and write for fear that they would learn ideas
why was the importance of slavery to the US economy a barrier to abolitionism
productions by slaves were 2/3 of exports in the US; loss of slavery would be detrimental to both economic institutions in the north and the south
why was racism in the north a barrier to slavery
northerners thought slavery was morally wrong but were also committed to white supremacist values in thinking that blacks were inferior and did not want any mixing of races for social equality
why was glorification of the union a barrier to abolitionism
the union refers to the north and south in the system of federalism- the south would not abide with the north if slavery was abolished so the north would have to tolerate and abide by slavery OR ELSE THE UNION WOULD BE THREATENED

But to suggest a solution that pits strong political leadership against professional local government management, however, is misguided. For our cities to be successful, they require the combination of strong political leadership, strong...

Sluttiest Titles Yet!
Brand new episodes of Doctor Who. It's a sentence that we should not take for granted. The show's been back for eight years now but every time the production team announce new titles and new adventures we should still be getting very excited.
So, to give you some Doctor Who themed excitement and get you spreading the new to all of your friends, here are some episode titles for the new series from the first half of the 2012 run.
A Town Called Mercy. That's the western episode that we've seen a lot of in the newest trailer. It's a sexy title, it's fun and it evokes western themes that we associate with films from that genre. But that's not enough.
So, brace yourselves, another episode will be called Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. You read it right, that's the name and it's brilliant. Running from Steven Moffat's game plan of "slutty titles", this is one of the smuttiest, it's sexy and it's titillating -as if Asylum of the Daleks wasn't bad enough! And it's also a good point for Doctor Who to show that it can do dinosaurs brilliantly. Primeval, get ready to eat your heart out.
Dinosaurs On a Spaceship (love it!) will feature Mark Williams (The Fast Show and the Harry Potter films) as Rory's dad and Sherlock star Rupert Graves. It's going to be a proper time hopping adventure that culminates in the Doctor and his friends running from dinosaurs, which is just Saturday night perfection.
Steven Moffat commented:
"Dinosaurs on a Spaceship – what more do you need?…We took one look at Chris Chibnall's brilliant script and said to ourselves 'We're going to need a bigger corridor'."
This new series just keeps getting better and better!
Doctor Who will return to BBC One very soon.
20 Responses to Sluttiest Titles Yet!
I hate to sound a killjoy but this is a bit Emperor's New Clothes, isn't it? Dinosaurs on a Spaceship is a brilliant idea, but a terrible title.
Just think how much more we would have thrilled in childlike wonder to Classic Who if Moffat had been in charge of the titles.
"Stones of Blood would have been "Stones in a Field"
"Monster of Peladon" would have "Badgers in Mines"
"Image of the Fendahl" would have been "Cake Recipes with Granny"
"Logopolis" would have been "I Lost My Auntie in a Layby"
"Crusade" would have been "Let's Kill Muslims"
"Pyramids of Mars" would have been "Seven Thousand Years Sitting on a Hand"
At least the last one would have been "slutty".
Stones of Blood would be Monsters of Rock.
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship sounds a bit throwaway, like it's just going to be a bit of a laugh. Fine if it's properly funny. Also like the first Target books – the kiddies won't understand Silurians, so we'll put Cave Monsters, etc. Looking forward to the days when we can dumb up again.
The Eleventh Hour would have been F*** me, Karen Gillans hot in a police uniform.
So long as "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" is absolutely nothing like "Snakes on a Plane" (what a horrible freaking movie)….
Just saying…..
Doctor Who has been back on air seven years and not eight. March 2005
Why can't we have good plots AND good titles? Though "Badgers in Mines" does sound good.
"This new series just keeps getting better and better." But it hasn't been on yet! Feels like I'm being pestered by a holiday camp yellow-coat: "But it's fun! it's great! You'll love it!" as I water-raft into oblivion singing *that* song from Grease.
Sorry, MB, I'm just not a squee-er. I think it'll turn out to be decent, though.
If it's true that one of the later episodes is entitled 'Cubed', then that's DEFINITELY not a sexy title!
In principle, I don't think the 'slutty' titles are a bad idea, as I find it hard to get enthused about titles like The Smugglers, Meglos, Kinda, etc.
I'm more conservative and loved the day's of The X of Y or Terror of the X or The X Y.
One of things I didn't like about JNT tenure at the helm was so many crap titles-boring ones really-Frontios et al-and especially Dalek one's that bore little in some-way's to the actual plot-although they did use the X of Y.
All for a bit of fun, but sometimes slutty can read 'trying to be clever and pretentious'or is that just me? Alternatively it could also be 'keeping the kiddies entertained'. I also keeping thinking that this could have been the title of an episode of 'Barney- the Friendly Dinosaur'.
Still if its a good episode then it shouldn't really matter,
Judging an episode by its title? Not sure we're recommended to do that. But really- "Dinosaurs on a Space Ship"?
'Earthshock' should've been called 'A Spaceship On Dinosaurs.'
I thank yew!

One of the biggest points I try to drive is artistic "voice". Call it style, call it feeling, but call it yours. We as individuals have our own personal flair. We hold something that no other living thing in this world has, we can think freely, we can imagine, we can do anything we want. I am saddened when I look at art and see that its already been done in history or when I see art and think I recognize the artist only to read the tag and … [Read more...]

Life Imitates Art & Attitude
The close relationship between life and art stirred Oscar Wilde to coin the infamous quote, "Life imitates art far more than art imitates life." Artists truly are the movers and shakers of the world.

That said, we artists have a big responsibility and must understand the importance of being an artist in today's modern world. Oscar Wilde's quote makes me ponder the … [Read more...]

Use The Hidden Meaning of Color In Your Art
The hidden meaning of color can be used as a powerful tool in art. Once the simple principles are understood, the artist can use color to enchant the viewer.

About 2 months ago, I met David Galvan. I hit him up first & it all started from there. I remember not being as attracted to him, but the more we talk, I start to see what kind of person he is. There are so many stuff about him that captivated me from the way he's a musician (which is a huge bonus to me) to how he can be so easily open and easy to talk to. I never knew that can eventually lead to something more because at the time, I wasn't looking for that significant other.
Of course, there's the day he confessed. (link to post: http://heatherrfeatherrr.tumblr.com/post/34528484840/so-this-guy-i-were-on-the-phone-because-we-were ) Anyways, it was the sweetest confession ever omg. It puts such a huge, retarded smile on my face every time I think about it. From that moment on, I let go of any walls around my heart and just let it be. I knew that he's definitely the guy that's going to restore my happiness.
Everything was all rainbows and sunshine from there LOL. Since he lives in Long Beach, we don't have the opportunity to see each other as much as we would want plus neither one of us can legally drive yet. So every night, we would skype each other and after it got late and I had to get off, we would continue with our cute phone calls. I'm usually the one to fall dead asleep first LOL. Anyways, it's been our daily routine until the day we can meet up. Then there's black friday…(link to post: http://heatherrfeatherrr.tumblr.com/post/36391381133/finally-got-to-see-itsdavidg-3-met-up-for-black )
And of course…there's the disney meetup that completely became the highlight of 2012 for me (link to post: http://heatherrfeatherrr.tumblr.com/post/37876939823/went-to-disney-california-adventure-with-this )
From the start, I never imagined anything this amazing to happen in my life or to end the year with. He has been absolutely amazing in all ways and he definitely has restored my happiness. I can never be more thankful to have him in my life. He was too incredible in the beginning to begin with. I'm forsure very lucky to have something this great to happen to me. Everything we both went through provided cherishable memories that I can never forget in my life. It's the first time I have ever felt this happy in my life. It's also the first time I ever felt something this amazing and strong about someone. These signs can obviously classify themselves since I know in my heart that I found my one and only.
David, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Some people may say that what I'm feeling isn't real, but I know in my heart it is. I've been hurt too many times to not realize the difference. I'm grateful to have you and to call you mine. I can't believe it's been only a month , but it feels like I've known you for months. You have no idea how much you mean to me and how much I cherish you. You are everything I had hope for. It's true we get into stupid arguements sometimes, but if not, our relationship wouldn't have gotten stronger. You are my one and only and NOBODY can ever take your place. I can't even think of leaving you. You're special to me. Everything you do always seem to lighten up my day and shine during the night. You have no idea how happy you can make me. Words can't describe how I feel about you. David Galvan, I love you & I promise to make you happy for a lifetime. I'm definitely looking forward to what the future will bring (: <3Posted 1 year ago with 12 notes

tiffs to jpgs to be able to load?
I have 2 sets of photos, jpgs and tiffs. The jpgs loaded but the tiffs didn't. Photoshop won't allow me to save the tiff as a jpg. Any suggestions on how to get the tiffs into jpgs to be able to use them?
Sharon, I am surprised that Photoshop is not allowing you to save the file as a jpg. Even using "Save As?" I have done this many times. Maybe someone has other ideas on that problem…. in the meantime, I have even used Paint, the simplest program ever, to save tiffs as jpgs since my scanner only outputs in tiff. I have never had a problem with Paint doing the conversion, either. Maybe that's worth a shot. :)

Hi Sharon,
You are right in that BookSMart doesn't like TIFFS, it is only happy with JPEGs and PNGs.
So why won't Photoshop let you save the TIFFS as JPEGs? My guess is that the TIFFs are 16 bit per colour channel and you cannot have 16bit JPEGs. Not quite sure which version of Photoshop you have but with mine (CS) you can check the bit-depth and convert from 16 to 8 in the Image…..Mode menu.
Once you have converted to 8-bit you'll see JPEG as an option in the Save As menu.
If that isn't the case come back and we'll see if anybody else has any ideas.

I have transferred a tiff to a JPEG on my AppleMac, fine, but on screen mentions – embedded colour profile doesn't match the RGB working space, it says embedded profile will be used instead of working space. Can I still use these images for my blurb book as well as straightforward images which are JPEGs.
Many thanks John M
Hi John,
On the JPG "save as" dialogue box in Photoshop, you can check to see if the color profile is sRGB (as shown below). If it ISN'T, you'll want to uncheck the box next to it, so you won't embed a different profile.
Hope that helps!

How Much and How Often Should You Moisturise?
It depends upon the state of your skin. Generally, it is recommended that you should apply moisturisers liberally and regularly (at least twice a day) to prevent skin from drying out.
They are most effective when they are applied on moist skin, for example following a bath or shower, but they should also be applied at other times depending on how dry your skin is. Particularly dry skin may benefit from frequent application of greasy moisturiser every couple of hours.
Besides using moisturising bath additives and soap substitutes when you wash, will often provide maximum rehydration for the skin and help restore its barrier function.

Found December 20, 2012 on The Other Paper:
PLAYERS: CC Sabathia, Brian Cashman, Mariano Rivera, Kevin Youkilis
TEAMS: New York Yankees
TEAMS: New York Yankees
Someone tell Brian Cashman that the return of Mariano Rivera and the acquisition of Kevin Youkilis as Christmas gifts for CC Sabathia just won't do. Those two things are only stocking stuffers compared to what the New York Yankees big lefty really wants — a 'Doc McStuffins' doll. Preschoolers seem to be turning the Disney TV show's animated star into this year's Elmo and the dolls are about as rare as an A-Rod hit in the playoffs. And if you're millionaire major league star and still striking out at the toy store, fans might want to think twice about snagging one of the Doc McStuffins "Time for your Checkup" doll or her plush friend Lambie before they promise one to their kid. "You can't find them anywhere," CC's wife, Amber, told the New York Daily News. "We were at Toys 'R' Us asking them to look in the back." Facebook and Twitter have been overrun with desperate shoppers trying to locate the coveted toys before their kids wake up Christmas morning with tears in their eyes. The $34.99 doll is fetching up to $130 on the social websites. "It is almost impossible to find Doc McStuffins," said Gerrick Johnson, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets. "My guess is that they didn't have a lot of production lined up for the first year run." CC might better off shopping for a Catcher McStuffins. He's going to need a new battery-mate and it might be easier to find.

Felling heavy, bloated, and tired all the time? It is due to your unclean system. People don't generally realize that the diet they consume contains adulterants, preservatives and added fillers, along with fats. A product called Pure Cleanse has been designed to deal with all these components producing waste build up that can't be cleared by colon alone.
This supplement acts as a helping aid for the proper removal of undigested matter and wastes, which may release toxins later on.
How this Supplement can make a Person Healthier??
People keep on wondering about their unnecessary weight gain and always blame the system. But it is your own responsibility to keep it hygienic not only externally but also from inside. When it comes to colon, it is there to excrete wastes, but these are not fully capable to remove the leftover of 4-5 meals a day.
Studies show that an adult has round about 10-15 pounds of waste build-up in the bowels. These wastes can rot and result into some kind of parasitic infection also. So to cut down the risk, Pure Cleanse is an essential component to deal with the breakdown and removal of this build-up.
What are the Ingredients Contained in the Supplement??
- Ginger Root Extract- Prevents the risk of colorectal cancer.
- Green Tea Leaf Extract- Increases metabolism.
- Mangosteen Fruit Extract- Used for relieving irritable bowel syndrome.
- Parsley- Popular herb against free radicals.
- Grape Seed Extract- This can inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
- Cascara Sagrada Bark- It is a good cleansing agent.
- Echinacea Extract- Helpful against cancer cells.
- Resveratrol- Antioxidant preventing weight gain and improves energy levels.
- Rhubarb Root Extract- A great cleansing agent that relieves constipation.
- Red Clover Extract- Prevents the growth of cancer cells.
- Buckthorn Bark- This ingredient in Pure Cleanse reduces water absorption by intestines.
- Cape Aloe Resin Concentrate- Contains fiber and thus relieves constipation and gas.
- Barberry Root- It is used in the treatment of liver dysfunction.
What are the Benefits of Using this Supplement??
- Effective cleansing agent
- Relieves digestive symptoms like constipation and gas
- Prevent the development of infections
- Maintains overall health
- Natural and safe formulation
- This supplement will not only detoxify your system, but will allow you lose weight in a healthy way also.

The accent Ray Thenot's mom has when speaking certain words can come through loud and clear. Born in Germany, the emphasis she puts on words or phrases really drives the point home for Ray. So when she describes someone as a "hoodlum", the meaning isn't lost on him.
Involved in hot rods and drag racing most of his life, the 54-year-old from Fairfield, Ohio, has always been around fast cars. At 17 he owned a '57 Chevy, though not a lot of folks cared much about mid-'50s Chevys in the mid '70s. He also liked the '55 model, and looked around for the right one for years. In 1988 he found one only two miles from his home, advertised in the Auto Trader—a $4,000 gem that was red and white and had a straight-six and three-on-the-tree.
Ray bought the car, yanked the front bumper off, and pulled the engine out in favor of a small-block. Through the years, four different motors and three different transmissions found their way into the car, and Ray blew up more than his fair share of rearends before installing a 9-inch. He used it to take the family to the drive-ins, his kids to school, and back and forth to work but, at night, his '55 was known to frequent the dragstrip.
Owning the car for more than 20 years, Ray wanted to change it up and felt putting a straight-axle under it would be the right thing to do. He met Dave Pleasant at one of the Ohio-based Goodguys shows after seeing Pleasant's Gasser. Pleasant runs Quality Machine Company in Dayton, Ohio, and his '55 had all the classic Gasser ingredients: straight-axle, flip nose, front fender dump headers, radiused rear wheelwells, rollcage, tach mounted atop the dash, and so on.
Pleasant and Ray worked a deal and soon a straight-axle setup was under Ray's '55. The next item was to radius the rear wheelwells, and Pleasant told Ray about Jake Burton at Burton's Kreative Motorwerks, also in Dayton. Though he's a young guy, Burton not only has the eye to see what good design is, but the talent to create it, too.
In going after the quarter-panels to radius the wheelwells, Burton found a lot of body filler. Wanting to see what was really underneath that red 'n' white paint scheme, they were surprised to find the entire right side was sculpted from body filler. What's more, it looked like 75 percent of the floor area was a mix of roofing materials and fiberglass! The rear crossmember was non-existent, as were the inner rockers.
Burton called Restoration World to order a laundry list of parts and pieces, which included a complete floor, inner quarters, rockers, outer quarters, tail pan, and more. Once the car was jigged up, the old parts came off and the new ones went on. Wanting the car to sit higher, Burton re-clipped the frontend with a design of his own. Burton also recessed the firewall, installed a Vega steering box, and added a steering column from Speedway Motors.
Continuing on the rebuild, Burton added a no-drop, 50-inch-wide straight-axle with Pro Street Rod shocks and chromed leaf springs while out back a couple of extra leafs were added so the body wouldn't dig into the big slicks. Burton also used a set of 24-inch ladder bars, which were made by Pleasant and then chromed by Metalbrite (who did all of the car's chrome). Once the chassis was dialed in, Burton had it sandblasted and then painted it himself.
Ray considers himself to be a "big-block guy" and he happened to have an extra 468-incher in his garage that needed to find a home, so it was installed, too. The motor, a 454 bored 0.060 over by D&D Racing in Cincinnati, is a monster with a forged LS6 crank, LS6 rods, Speed Pro domed pistons, a Crane cam, and a 13.5:1 compression ratio.
