It's come up again. For those of you who aren't aware, following a lot of big stories involving Kate's name or title there often comes the assumption that because the Duchess of Cambridge is known as 'a Princess of the United Kingdom' or on the occasion that she is simply referred to as a Princess, that must mean she is Princess Kate/Catherine… Wrong.
The reason why she was referred to as a Princess of the United Kingdom on the birth document of Prince George is because she is… but not quite as you think. Through marriage, she is Princess William because she takes the female form of her husband's titles. Just like how when a commoner marries, the wife traditionally takes her husband's name – the same is true for titles.
Additionally, people also seem to be under the impression that Catherine will be made a Princess one day. This is hugely unlikely for one simple reason. Whereas in many European Monarchies, things are kept simple by giving most members of the respective Royal Families the title of Prince or Princess, this title has a different use/meaning in the UK. Prince/Princess is a title almost exclusively reserved for 'blood royals' (i.e. those who were born into the family as opposed to marrying in).
The second side of this is 'what about when William is Prince of Wales?' – If the title of Prince of Wales is granted to Prince William when Prince Charles becomes King; he would be HRH The Prince of Wales and Catherine (currently Duchess of Cambridge) would become 'HRH The Princess of Wales', but she would NOT be 'Princess Catherine' still – the title of Princess of Wales is not the same as being a Princess.
Even though people call Diana, Princess of Wales 'Princess Diana', she was never actually 'Princess Diana', the same is true and will continue to be true for the Duchess of Cambridge.
She will one day be Queen Catherine, but until then it is highly unlikely she'll ever be 'Princess Catherine/Kate'.
CORRECT – The Duchess of Cambridge' (she's known as 'HRH The Countess of Strathearn' in Scotland)
INCORRECT - 'Princess Catherine', 'Princess Kate' & 'Duchess Kate'
And for those asking 'is Kate a Princess now?' – she's always been a Princess, just not 'Princess Kate'.
If you have any further questions about Kate's titles or anything you've read here, enter them into the comments box below.

I also seem to remember that at the time of their wedding it was said by either Buckingham Palace or Clarence House that there would be no objection to calling her Princess Catherine – I so wish it was adopted by one and all as I'm heartily tired oh hearing her referred to as Kate Middleton by commentators and newspapers!
Never say never. She could one day end up HRH Princess Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (Alice, Marina) due to unfortunate circumstances.
Both of them were Princess on their own right.
No, they were not. Princess Alice was born The Lady Alice Montagu-Douglas-Scott. Her father was the 7th Duke of Buccleuch & Queensberry. She was only HRH by marriage. The Queen allowed her to use the title Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester as a courtesy it did not make her a princess in her own right. Marina was a Princess of Greece and Denmark but that does not qualify one to use the title Princess before their christian name as a member of the British Royal Family. Princess Marina was never addressed as "Princess Marina" after her marriage until, during her widowhood, she sought and received HM's permission to be known as Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent. Marina was said to be very disturbed by not receiving higher precedence and the right to continue to be known as "Princess Marina" after her marriage. That is simply not how it works in the UK. Recall the problem with JFK's sister-in-law and her husband not being addressed as Prince or Princess during the state visit because they had not received permission to use their foreign titles in the UK.
Even if HRH Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg married Prince Harry she would not be entitled to style herself as Princess Alexandra of Wales or as Princess Alexandra, The Duchess of Sussex after their marriage. She would become HRH Prince Henry of Wales or HRH The Duchess of Sussex (the title Harry is said to be promised). She would have to seek the Queen's permission to style herself as Princess Alexandra (of anything or nothing) after the marriage. I suspect that HM would not allow grand her permission to use the title of Princess before her christian name because it is the British custom that only females of British blood royal are permitted to use the title before their names during their marriages. During her widowhood she would likely follow HM's new tradition of being styled HRH Princess Alexandra, Duchess of Sussex.
If Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg married Prince Harry, she would take the title of HRH Princess Henry/Harry, and/or Duchess of Sussex; not Prince Henry of Wales (as your comment said).
Oh, but what to call Camilla when her husband predeceases his mother?
If Prince Charles died before the Queen, Prince William would become the Prince of Wales, with several subsidiary titles including Duke of Cornwall. As his wife, Catherine would become the Princess of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, and all the corresponding titles according to William's elevated status.
Camilla would then be known as the Dowager Duchess of Cornwall —- unless the Queen published a Letters Patent indicating otherwise.
Not so. The Prince of Wales title must be granted…while the Dukedom of Cornwall is automatic. Were Charles to die before the Queen, she could decide to grant the Prince of Wales title to William. However, Cornwall is limited to the "eldest living son and heir" of the sovereign – meaning, if Charles dies while QEII is still on the throne, William will never become Duke of Cornwall.
Thank you, Scott. I stand corrected!
It isn't really likely that we'll ever again see a royal "dowager" since The Queen has instituted the tradition of styling royal widows as HRH Princess HerName, Duchess of Husband'sPeerage. It is an elegant modernization of how royal dowagers are styled. HRH Princess Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall is the most likely title for Camilla in this sad scenario.
I think Camilla would much rather have the title you mention, Carolina. That was also the case for Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, wasn't it?
Mary, like all other queens, stopped being HM The Queen and used the title HM Queen Mary after she was widowed. She never used dowager because 'Queen Mary' instead of THE Queen is how it is customarily done. The Queen Mother decided to use the style HM Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother to avoid confusion with her namesake daughter.
Yes, it was the case with Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent. I rather like using this for dowagers.
When the Queen granted special permission to her aunt, the late Princess Alice, Her Majesty established a precedent but I think it's going a bit far to call it a "tradition". It will be interesting to see what happens if the current Duke of Kent, for example, were to predecease his wife. Given her professed distain for continued use of her royal style (she purportedly prefers to be addressed nowadays simply as 'Katharine Kent'), I think it unlikely that the Duchess of Kent would petition the Queen to style herself 'Princess Katharine'. So I would bet that, in due course, she would come to be known as 'HRH The Dowager Duchess of Kent'.
As for the Duchess of Cornwall, as has already been said, if the Prince of Wales were to predecease his mother then, all things being equal, she would become 'HRH The Dowager Duchess of Cornwall'.
If Prince Charles passed away before his mother, The Queen. The Duke of York would be King surely?
Thanks for your question, Charles. This is a lot of fun, isn't it?
Prince Andrew, the present Duke of York, was indeed second in line for the throne for many years, but that changed with the birth of his nephew, Prince William, in 1982.
Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, is of course first in line. Prince William is second; after him comes his newborn son, Prince George of Cambridge, who is third in the line of succession. Prince Harry is fourth at present.
Because of a recent change in the rules of succession, Princess Anne is fifth. Only then comes Prince Andrew, now sixth in line. He will be farther down the list if and when William and Kate have any more children.
I hope this is helpful (and not too much information!).
Princess Anne is most certainly not 5th in line to the throne. Firstly because the Succession to the Crown act hasn't come into force yet and secondly, the clause on primogeniture is only retrospective to those born after 28th October 2011 – Princess Anne was born in 1950! Prince Andrew is and will remain 5th in line to the throne, even when the Succession to the Crown Act is in force. Princess Anne remains 11th in line.
Once again, this brash American has learned something new on this fascinating subject, and stands corrected.
But I hope you will agree I was right about one thing:
This really is a lot of fun!
I don't think the recent change bumped Anne up in line. I think it went into effect for George's generation
You're correct. I've done some research into this since I posted my earlier comment, and I have to retract that part of my post.
Lets not go there for the way she has done to Prince Charles and the rest of the Royal family. The only thing she is deserving is the title is Divorcee for treating Prince Charles like she over ranks him and orders him around!
I dislike hearing talk of the death of Her Majesty, The Queen. She is a wonderful woman and Queen and I pray that she lives many more years. Everyone seems to be in the planning stage. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
Catherine can become a princess in her own right, by letters patent as a gift of the Sovereign, just as the Duke of Edinburgh was granted the title Prince of the United Kingdom
The only difference is that Prince Philip was already a Blood Prince (he was born a Prince of Greece and Denmark), so granting him the title, while a wonderful gift, was not a surprise since he was already royal in his own right.
He first had to renounce his non-British princely titles, then become a commoner as Philip Mountbatten. King George gave him the title Duke of Edinburgh just before his wedding, but he wasn't a prince anymore.
He didn't become a prince again until ten years later, when in 1957 the Queen issued a Letters Patent giving him the designation of Prince of the United Kingdom.
That is not totally correct. In the 1948 Letters Patent, King George VI stated: GEORGE THE SIXTH by the Grace of God of Great Britain Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas King Defender of the Faith To all to whom these Presents shall come Greeting Whereas His late Majesty King George the Fifth by His Letters Patent dated the thirtieth day of November in the eighth year of His Reign did declare His Royal Pleasure that certain members of the Royal Family therein more particularly mentioned should have the style title or attribute of Royal Highness And Whereas We are desirous of defining and fixing the style and title by which the children of the marriage solemnised between Our Most dearly beloved Daughter Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Duchess of Edinburgh and His Royal Highness Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh shall be designated And Whereas for that purpose We deem it expedient that the aforesaid Letters Patent should be amended and extended la manner hereinafter declared Now Know Ye that in the exercise of Our Royal and undoubted prerogative and of our especial grace we do hereby declare Our Royal Will and Pleasure that the children of the aforesaid marriage shall have and at all times hold and enjoy the style title or attribute of Royal Highness and the titular dignity of Prince or Princess prefixed to their respective Christian names in addition to any other appellations and titles of honour which may belong to them hereafter And We do further declare Our Will and Pleasure that our Earl Marshal of England or his Deputy for the time being do cause these Our Letters or the Enrolment thereof to be recorded in our College of Arms to the end that Our Officers of Arms and all others may take due notice thereof In Witness Whereof We have caused these our Letters to be made Patent Witness Ourself at Westminster the twenty-second day of October in the twelfth year of Our Reign."
So, as you can see, in 1948 he was considered Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh.
There's a lot of confusion over the Duke of Edinburgh's title at this time because of this reference to him as a Prince in the 1948 letters patent. Whilst he is referred to as 'Prince Philip' in this document, all subsequent documents and official communique thereafter until 1957 refer to him without the Princely style. Additionally, the King himself amended a reference to 'Prince Philip' on Prince Charles's birth certificate in 1948 to just 'Philip, Duke of Edinburgh'.
I was hoping Royal Central would see this discussion so we could be sure about Philip's titles. I've read about this issue from many different sources and was pretty sure of my facts.
And while I have your attention, I'd like to say this:
I sometimes post comments in other forums, and I often see posts that are so vicious they make me cringe. How I wish they could be as civil as the discussions here at Royal Central.
We can discuss issues here with courtesy and respect for each other, even when we might disagree. We can justly be proud of ourselves and our site, and other blogs could take a lesson from Royal Central.
Many thanks to the editors, writers, and other staff at Royal Central for the education and enjoyment they provide. I think we have something very special here, and their work is much appreciated.
Amen Ricky. I think the civil discourse is evidence that we Royalists truly understand the concept of discussion without rancor!
The easy way to explain this is to say that she is a princess by marriage, as all royal duchesses are, but not a princess by birth, so she cannot use the title "Princess" before her own given name. Only princesses by birth can do that.
She is also not a duchess by birth (very few women have ever been duchesses by birth), and the title "Duchess" is simply never used before a given name.
There was one notable exception of a royal duchess who was also a princess by birth. Before the death of King George VI, the present queen was known as HRH the Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh.
If the Duke and Duchess have a daughter and name her Catherine, there will be a Princess Catherine.
A reasonable article, though I would contest that referring to the Duchess as 'HRH Princess William' is 'correct' in the strictest sense. While it is technically one of her titles, I don't think it can ever be 'correct' etiquette to address/refer to her by that title instead of as the Duchess of Cambridge.
The whole world are assuming that HRH Prince George will one day be King, but if HM The Queen outlives Prince Charles then the current Duke of York would be King and as such, his daughter would on his death become Queen
No, if The Queen outlives Prince Charles, Prince William will be King. That's how the line of succession works. After Prince William is Prince George, this is how it will always be. Prince George will be King bar any unfortunate incident or converting to catholicism etc.
Charles 742, I am confused by your assertions regarding the Duke of York's claim to the throne. Do you think that Princes William, George, and Harry do not have precedence in succession? If you recognize the succession rights of the Duke of York's daughters, why not that of Prince Charles' sons? Is this merely an oversight or are you trying to make a point of some kind?
Since you have made this statement more than once, I am curious as to your reasoning.
The Duke of York could be king if Prince Charles and his descendants would die.
even if you are born of the blood royal it is your mum and dad who decide ask princess zara phillip
Well Zara Phillips isn't a Princess – she was never entitled to the title of Princess, even by birth.
Not necessarily in every case. Titles are passed through the father, not the mother. When Princess Anne married Captain Phillips, the Queen had to issue a special proclamation to re-title her as Anne, Princess Royal. If she wouldn't have done that, Anne would have lost her title due to her husband being untitled. HM also offered a title to Captain Phillips so that their children could inherit titles, but the couple turned it down.
I thought that women inherit their husbands title (or lack of title) only if their current title is below that of their future husbands.
Yes, this is correct. A wife takes her husband's title unless her own title is higher, thus Princess Anne's title was unaffected by her marriage to Captain Phillips.
Anne didn't receive the title of Princess Royal at the time of her marriage to Mark Phillips; that came in the late 1980's.
Her Majesty could have given Anne this title anytime after 1965, when the previous holder died. This was the Queen's aunt, Princess Mary, who was King George V's only daughter. There can only be one living Princess Royal at any given time.
When this title was bestowed on Princess Anne, the media reported the Queen did this this because of Anne's many years of royal duties and her work on behalf of charities, especially Save the Children.
Princess Anne was created Princess Royal in 1987, not when she got married.
If Will became king tomorrow he would be HM King William V…. And kate would be ?? HRH Queen consort Katherine, or something? And the baby, HRH Prince George?
Prince William would become His Majesty King William V and his wife would become Her Majesty The Queen or Her Majesty Queen Catherine – Prince George would become HRH The Prince George, Duke of Cornwall.
This is great! I'm sharing it with my American friends, so I don't have to explain it again!
Why was Diana allowed to be called "Princess Diana"? She also had the title, "HRH Diana Princess of Wales".
That was a concession made by the Queen and Prince Charles during the divorce negotiations. As the mother of a future monarch, Buckingham Palace agreed that she needed to have some sort of title, even though she was having HRH stripped. They settled for 'Princess'. Same thing actually happened to Prince Philip when he married HM. His previous title of Prince was removed once he married (I can't remember why just now, but I know it's easy to find if you wish to look into it), but the Queen issued a proclamation declaring that he still be known as Prince Philip.
She wasn't. That is what the media and the public called her but that was never her title. Before the divorce she was HRH The Princess of Wales (no use of her first name). After the divorce she was Diana, Princess of Wales.
Simple, "commoner" example – the traditional British way, if you like.
Miss Anne Smith marries Mr Alan Brown and her formal title is Mrs Alan Brown
They divorce
She is now Mrs Anne Brown.
Why do the Royals allow the name Kate Middleton to be used instead of Catherine? Do the Royals not like Catherine? Some proclamation needs to be made by some higher royal as to the correct use of her name or punitive damages will be put of those magazines that call her Kate Middleton which is not her name by any means. The Royals and the public are bullying Catherine again!
No matter what anyone says on the subject, the media is still going to call her Kate Middleton even though she has been a married woman for almost 3 years now. Kate Middleton, Princess Kate and Princess Catherine sell papers and magazines rather than her proper title The Duchess of Cambridge or Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge.
I personally tend to ignore any magazines that refuse to use her proper title when they use her image on the front pages.
Perhaps we use "Kate Middleton" due to several reasons. Her name appeared for many years in the press as such. But more than that, I would never assume any woman changes her name at marriage. As persons delay marriage, especially educated ones, to about age 30, a woman's life is established, and thus her indentity, which includes her name. Changing one's ID, banking, pension, et al is a pain, and often costly. Not that Kate has to personally process those changes. But real women do. I don't believe the royals have anything to do with "Kate Middleton" being of common usage in most press. Name-changing at marriage is primarily a Western-Anglo convention.
The Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine gave birth to a Prince and is a distant cousin to her Prince husband and must do the duties of a Princess. She deserves the right to be Princess Catherine and all of these politics around it should end. She married a prince and is the mother of a Prince. Give her the rightful title. Her son out ranks her. I can see her son ordering her around if he became a belligerent child. SO WRONG!!!!!! Please reconsider this. Then there is the possibility of Prince Charles advocating his son Prince William to King what will Catherine be then? I just do not see this as fair. She's a Princess in her every right. Let the Queen give her what is is rightfully hers.
Diana wasn't really Princess?
She was whilst she was married to Charles, but she lost the title HRH Princess of Wales when she divorced him. She was allowed to continue to have the title 'Princess' as part of divorce negotiations, but she was no longer a Princess in anything but name.

For what it is worth...
Written by Robert Niles
... a high-speed rail system (a *real* system, with a dedicated, two-way track) that connected Santa Clarita, CA (Magic Mountain) to Universal City (Universal Studios Hollywood) to Downtown Los Angeles to Anaheim (Disneyland) to Riverside to Las Vegas would represent one of the best investments in economic development that the U.S. federal government could make.Tweet
The route would get huge daily commuter traffic within the greater LA area, as well as enabling significant economic development in Vegas. Not just tourism, but business relationships outside of the stereotypical casinos and theme parks.
The old model of oil-fueled family cars providing almost the personal transport within and between nearby cities will not be economically and environmentally viable much longer.
Of course, some politicians can't resist trashing public support for any project attached to the name "Disneyland," as if anything associated with a theme park is just some silly children's plaything.
Theme parks are multi-billion dollar businesses, attracting tens of millions of Americans each year. And the biggest ones are not located in random, sleepy little burgs, but within some of the most dynamic local economies in the nation.
So, build the darned rail system! And give us one to San Francisco, too. I'd much rather see billions go to employ hard-working Americans designing and building these rail systems than to prop up the stockholders of the nation's zombie banks. We need somebody to spend some money to get our economy going again. I'd rather we all get something useful for that investment.
That's my $.02. Debate continues in the comments, if anyone's interested. Weaving theme parks into the conversation earns brownie points. :-)

It's funny that you are posting an article on this. I keep hearing about it in the Orlando region as well but I just can't picture it working out too well over here unless they do a big triangle between Daytona to Orlando to Tampa to Miami and back to Daytona.
I'm saying a triangle for the purpose of connecting the Orlando and Tampa for the theme parks as well as cutting back on the I-4 traffic between Tampa and Orlando that happens daily because of the jobs on either end. Connect Orlando to Daytona to add to the tourism excitement of visiting the Theme Park World in Orlando as well as being able to go to Daytona's famous beaches. Again this would cut back the traffic during rush hour between the two areas as well as create more opportunity for those that are not able to afford driving themselves every day back and forth and spending $10 just to go there and back daily instead of lets say spending $2 back and forth daily.
Then add Miami to the equation and you have a dream network for not only Tourists but also for businesses and their workers that is much more affordable than driving one self and less of a hassle than setting up a carpool as well as being more economically friendly.
Now it will cost to build and take time to build it but I think it would be a wise investement in a number of the large economic centers of the United States.
From Anthony Murphy on February 24, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Imagine it in Flordia! Scary! Either places sound good, but it probably would work better in CA
From Brandon Mendoza on February 24, 2009 at 11:19 PM
If I can play Devil's Advocate for a second, are Californians too obsessed with the "me first" attitude? Can Californians detach themselves from driving their own car, having the "freedom" to drive wherever and whenever? Is it possible for public transportation to work in the same way it works in Manhattan and Boston? Or even the some point, San Francisco?
There are many people who would like to see a rail system in California that works, but who would use it?
(Btw, I live in Southern California, and have used the rail systems in Manhattan and Boston and love them... I just don't have any answers to a Californian version)
From Joshua Counsil on February 25, 2009 at 1:35 AM
Damn right, Robert!
Build the damn rail!
From Rob P on February 25, 2009 at 5:10 AM
The overwhelming benefits of this proposed transportation network makes the decision a no-brainer in my view.
If anyone visiting Southern California has ever endured the drive from Anaheim to Hollywood and beyond they'd know that what the area needs is a reliable, and fairly direct, public transport system. Even more so when you consider just how many of we tourists are swelling the numbers on the road making it tough on the locals.
I applaud the movement for the new cross rail link. It makes good sense.
From Mitchell Botwin on February 25, 2009 at 6:53 AM
The bullet train is suppose to run from Orlando airport to Disney to Tampa. The second connection is to Miami. The need for high speed mass transit in the I-4 corridor should be obvious to anyone who sits in traffic in the morning or evening. Coming from a city with an excellent mass transit system you can see the advantages of moving large numbers of people without turning the roads into parking lots.
From Mike K on February 25, 2009 at 7:40 AM
Just because the economy goes bad does not mean we should go spending money on everyone's favorite project. This project would create a lot of temporary construction jobs, and then some permanent jobs for the thing to operate (Maybe 100 people needed). The train will cost $8 BILLION! In my opinion, 8 BILLION DOLLARS can be spend a lot better elsewhere.
Let's say this thing gets built. Who is going to ride it? Obviously the company running it has to make money. How much will a ticket cost? Tickets for the Acela Express run at cheapest around $100 for one way. Surely this would be more. How many will pay that much? This is not economic stimulus, it is Harry Reid's favorite pork project that he wants to pass while he can.
From Corey Romberg on February 25, 2009 at 8:28 AM
I like the idea...even though I cant imagine working with Universal..all theme parks and tourist destinations need to work together to survive the economic crisis, and this is a very smart, albeit, interesting, idea

The state of rail travel in the US is so bad. I agree we need more/better railways. Don't get me started with how slow they are and how they cost so much more than air travel. Amtrak costs almost as much as my entire WDW vacation. :/
From Derek Potter on February 25, 2009 at 3:58 PM
I've read that Orlando has had plans for a bullet train coming from the airport for years, but Disney has put the squash on it because they want the station directly to their property from the airport.....bypassing Universal, Sea World, the convention center, International Drive, and all of the other Orlando attractions and facilities. To put it shortly, the route goes through a small piece of Disney owned (and unused) property, and Disney is using that to try and monopolize public transportation from the airport. A bullet train would have happened in Orlando years ago, if it weren't for everyone's beloved Disney.
They are now talking about changing the route, which would cost a lot of money, but would eliminate the biggest obstacle in the road . Since it's become part of a statewide bullet train project, it may happen soon.
I've recommended this book a few times on TPI. It's an interesting read about Disney World and it's relationship with the city of Orlando and the state of Florida. It's called "Married to the Mouse." There's even a chapter of the book that talks about the bullet train project.
I don't think that projects like these are the solution to our economic problems. While they would help with problems like traffic congestion, oil consumption, and pollution, they would also be run by the government, the same government that got us into this mess in the first place. A cardinal rule of doing business is to not waste money, and to cut loose bad or unproductive employees. If the business of government was a publicly traded company, they all would have been fired or put in jail a long time ago. They can't even tie their shoes without spending a million dollars of our tax money, so why should I put them in charge of a multibillion dollar lightrail system.
From Robert OGrosky on February 28, 2009 at 12:21 PM
With our country trillions in debt, this would be a major waste of federal taxes!!!!!
If CA and Vegas want to build this, let those two states pay for it out of there own taxes and don't saddle the rest of the country with the bill!!
And since CA cant pay there bills as it is and is billions in debt with its bloated government there is no reason at all to send taxpayer money from all over the country to pay for this.
We need to be lowering federal spending as all of the debt we are incurring is going to cause major inflation problems down the line.
We need to let banks/auto companies fail if they aren't run properly or cant compete in the global economy. The recession will run its course and the federal government cant get out us out of this by just turning on the printing press's as these bill will have to be paid some day. FDR'S spending didn't get the country out of the depression and neither will the current policies. This country has weathered past recession's without blindly spending money and this one will also pass, but lets do so without leaving our kids/grand kids trillions of dollars to pay off, and that doesnt include the coming money woes with SS/Medicare/Medicad.

textbookurchin replied to your post: Can we get a mint AND a sticker. Like how humans have the "I voted today." stickers. I want something like that.
why not, "I fucked some people, I live another day"
Because that would be a huge sticker. Don't question the damn system.
Go forth and pail then.
This makes it all worth it. 2 stickers and a mint Ive got this.

Matt Damon stopped by The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and, despite Leno's awkwardness, Damon once again proved that he is really, really charming. The two talked about his upcoming film The Adjustment Bureau and Damon shared what it was like to work with Emily Blunt -- and, sorry ladies, turns out that Mr. Damon only can last seven seconds.
Piers Morgan chatted with Conan about what it was like to sit down with Charlie Sheen and witness the man's insanity in person. According to the journalist, Morgan's belief that ""every man has a right to party"" is what sold Sheen on doing the interview. Oh yeah, one last thing: Charlie Sheen, Charlie Sheen, Charlie Sheen. Sick of him, yet?
Isla Fisher talked with Jimmy Fallon on Late Night about what it was like to have a wardrobe malfunction at the Oscars. Apparently, Larry David is one sexy dude because after she hugged him, her dress popped right off!

Window Kisses - Window Kisses (from split with Bulldog Eyes)
Have you ever felt safe?
Have you ever lost your mind?
when you're fucking up perfection
but she was just fine.
And you swallow your spit
i swallow my regrets
it's a valentine that you sent out
that i never read.
do you know what distance is?
it's a prison you can't leave.
You're sewing on a new name
on that spot on your sleeve.
and you feel alone at night
and you can't sleep
i blame my god damn father
for the scary dreams.
and i drank my drugs
i have smoked my booze.
i felt like a winner but all i did was lose.
and it's a feeling or emotion
that's very hard to miss
it's the shape of your lips.
it's a window kiss.Posted 1 year ago with 67 notes

The National Aerial Firefighting Centre
(NAFC) coordinates the procurement of firefighting aircraft
on behalf of the States and Territories of Australia.
NAFC was incorporated in July
2003 and represents every state and territory in Australia.
History of
The use of aircraft for
aerial firefighting has grown in Australia
over recent years. Following a number of serious bushfires that affected
Australia, Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments decided to develop a
joint approach to manage aerial firefighting to
improve operational performance and cost effectiveness nationally.
As a result,
the then Commonwealth Department of Transport and Regional Services (DoTaRS) and the Australasian Fire Authorities Council
(AFAC) produced a National Aerial Firefighting Strategy. This strategy envisaged a
national cooperative arrangement to enhance aerial firefighting resources
and resource sharing across Australia.
The Australian Government
subsequently provided funding to assist State and Territory Governments with
aerial firefighting. This funding has supported
a shift in focus to larger capacity aircraft and an impetus towards national
"This is a sign of strong
cooperation between the Commonwealth, the states and the territories. By
working cooperatively to pool our resources, governments in all jurisdictions
can get the maximum value for money and ensure that Australians are protected
by the best aerial firefighting equipment

I appreciate your kind words. I try to tailor the column to players like yourself.
I could speak lengthy diatribes about very obscure (but effective) tactics and situations with extremely specific team composition scenarios. It would entertain the more experienced crowd, but I'd rather have you enjoy the column and experience a newfound hope for PvP in the future.
Dueling is actually something I haven't participated a lot in, as weird as that may sound. Between all my characters combined, in five years of playing, I've logged less than 200 duels. That actually surprises me that it's so low, but until winning duels gets an objective way of measurement, I don't see a giant point in participating in them.
That being said, I've heard from many PvPers that dueling is a fantastic way to learn your class and what opponents might do. I'm should start dueling more -- I've lost a lot of 1v1s in arena (after all our partners have died) because I don't know what to do in that kind of a situation.
So, in a way, you've helped me out as well. Thanks. :)

My Man Makes Me Sick ... When I'm Sick!
Rather than staying home and taking care of me, my husband went out and got drunk with his buddies. Imagine if I'd done that to him?
Guestblogger MILF Mommy: I don't get sick much, but when I do, it hits me: the fever, the chills, the sore throat, the whole deal. My husband, however, gets sick a lot. Sick meaning he has a cold yet acts like he is dying. When this happens he, like most men, becomes a child: needs to be tucked in, fed, I practically have to blow his nose. Guess what happened when the tables turned?
(Phone rings)
Me: (barely audible or able to lift my head) Hello?
Him: Babe! Hey! It's me! S'up?
Me: (coughing and thinking he's calling to see if I want some chicken soup) Oh. Hi.
Him: Babe! Can I go to the Laker game tonight? Just got invited!
Me: Tonight?
Him: YEAH! Great seats, front row babe! I'm gonna go, k?
Me: (thinking he might be kidding) Ummmm, well ... I guess. Really?
Him: Cool. Love ya. Bye!
Me: Hello? Hello? (coughing fit)
Now, had HE been sick, this would have NEVER happened. One, because if my girlfriends called to ask me out I would have automatically said no. Secondly, he put me in a bad position by even asking because had I said "No, I need you home" I would have been that annoying wife that doesn't let her husband do anything. Later, when he called to say he was on his way to the game, I finally told him I would have rather had him home. His response? "Why, you're just laying there anyway. Not much I can do!" "You could make me dinner!" I responded. "Ohhh big deal! You have to make dinnerrrr" he said.
This turned into a two-day fight, because after the game he didn't come home for several hours. Where was he? Out drinking with his friends. Are you friggin' kidding me?
I was so pissed. The next time he is sick, even the REAL deal sick, I am planning a night out on the town with the girls. He'll just be laying there anyway, not much I can do ...

ohhh, it sucks, I've had such a situation before…
Dishwasher was a better comfort for me than him then :)
I had early stages of breast cancer. I had a double masectomy with reconstructive surgery 6 months later. The worst part of all this was the way my husband treated me. He was horrible. He never took care of me. He complained as he cooked dinner and took care of our son. But he never sat with me, brought me food,not one flower nothing.He went out almost everynight. Once he was home with a buddy and I was trying to get out of bed when I fell and coudn't get up. I did manage to get up but I was on my own. It was the harded time for me. I almost left him because of that. and sometimes I think I should have.

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida - J.A. Happ and Alex Cobb stood side by side on Sunday afternoon and called on Major League Baseball to provide pitchers with the option to wear protective head gear.
"Whether that pitcher wants to pitch with head gear or not is up to him but I definitely think there should be an option," said Cobb. "I haven't heard too much but I do know that it's moving in the right direction and hopefully there will be an option by next year."
The league has been studying different prototypes, including caps with enhanced padding, since last offseason. So far nothing has been approved.
"I think you'd be crazy not to look into it if it was available," said Happ. "I think function is the big issue. We were struck in the ear so like I said it would almost have to be a helmet situation. If it was functional and comfortable and didn't hinder the performance at all then absolutely."
Both pitchers are linked by separate, equally scary, incidents at Tropicana Field this season.
It was May 7 when Happ, pitching to Desmond Jennings in the second inning of an eventual 6-4 win, was struck in the side of the head by a line drive. He crumpled to the ground. Onlookers thought he was out cold even though he wasn't, and eventually he was carted off the field.
Happ suffered a minor skull fracture behind his left ear. Stitches repaired a nasty gash to his ear. The worst of his injuries, however, were to his right knee. He suffered strained MCL and PCL ligaments when his leg buckled underneath him. Happ's return, which came exactly three months after the incident, would have been much sooner if not for the knee trouble.
Almost six weeks after Happ was hurt, an Eric Hosmer line drive hit Cobb in the head in the fifth inning of the June 15 Rays-Royals game. Cobb suffered a concussion and had to work through the effects of his head trauma before returning to the majors on Thursday, exactly two months after the incident.
The two men didn't know each other beforehand and since, they've kept in touch via text messages and have struck up a friendship. While neither relied on the other for support through the recovery process, they share a bond very few can understand.
"Not too many people know what you've gone through on a personal level so to know his battles, although they were different, they were almost more severe and more troublesome in some cases with his knee," said Cobb. "It's really nice to see him back out on a big league field and pitching well, too."
Happ happened to be watching at the time Cobb was injured.
"It was just such a surreal thing," said Happ. "Again, just to see him and be able to catch up and see that the healing has taken place, that's the biggest thing. Definitely a scare with some of the issues that he had to deal with that I didn't.
"He had a little bit more to overcome in that sense and really glad to see he was able to do that."

What Is The Secret To Gaining Marijuana Yields?

Time your marijuana harvesting for maximum THC and weight!
(Click to enlarge)
Marijuana growers spend an average of 3-4 months per crop cycle and they want the heaviest harvests with the most THC for their work. That's why marijuana growers argue about when's the best time to harvest marijuana.
Obviously, one of the easiest ways to know is to examine the buds to see if the resin glands are cloudy or amber--sure signs that harvest time has arrived.
You see the white hairs turn orange and brown...another sign that it's time to harvest. Or you're growing a reliable marijuana strain made by a professional breeder like Subcool TGA, and the breeder says this strain takes 60 days in bloom phase, so you harvest at 65 days in bloom phase unless something's gone wrong to delay your crop maturation.
Some marijuana growers are either too early or too late in harvesting their marijuana. They harvest when the bud hairs are all white and the resin glands are all clear. Or they harvest when the bud hairs are all brown and the resin glands are all fallen and amber/cloudy.
Harvest too early and you lose weight and you get a lighter, less body-stoned high. Harvest too late and you get a heavy high that lacks the upper end of euphoria and stimulation because too-late marijuana has seen degradation of THC and too much CBD and CBN.
One of the best ways to work with particular strains to find out when's the best time to harvest is to do incremental harvesting. You can read about incremental marijuana harvesting in other articles here on BigBudsMag.com. But the method is in the name...instead of harvesting all at once, you harvest a 65-day bloom phase crop a little at a time starting at 50 days, 58 days, 65 days, and 70 days.
Then you properly dry and cure those buds, and test them to see which ones give you the high and taste you want the most from that strain.
One thing to do as your plants approach harvest time is to push them to make a final go at adding weight, THC, and other cannabinoids. Pump them with molasses or Bud Candy, Bud Factor X, and Overdrive starting ten days before you intend to flush your crops.
So if you have a 65-day bloom phase TGA/Subcool crop, at day 45-46 and even before, you're adding those sugars, bud and THC enhancers, and Overdrive's extra phosphorus and potassium.
Maybe also turn up the light intensity by adding a plasma light or an extra HID light. Put some wind on them and extra C02. It's like pushing a tired runner to give it his all as he approaches the finish line.
Just remember to cut off the nutrients and do a flush so your plants get nothing but clean water for the last few days before you cut. This purges extra nutrients salts and other garbage out of your crops! Cleaner and sweeter tasting buds result from proper flushing.
Impatience, or not paying close enough attention, can result in harvesting at the wrong time so you lose some of the value of harvesting just right.
When you spend your money, time, and hope on each marijuana season, keep looking to BigBudsMag.com for these insider tips to getting your best hydroponics, organics, indoor and outdoor cannabis harvests ever!

"It's more like 'You earned the reward, but we don't want to force other people to earn the reward in the same way to be competitive in a different area of the game.'"
Right now you have the same exact situation in reverse. With no PvP weapons available people who are serious about PvP have to turn to raiding if they want to obtain to remain competitive. Why is that okay but not the reverse?
What if it had worked out the other way around and they had removed all weapons from raid boss loot tables to prevent an influx of PvE weapons into arenas and battlegrounds? I don't disagree that there's an issue here but this policy does nothing to address it. A "possibly maybe two weeks after 4.0.6" time frame puts the availability of these weapons sometime in February at the earliest - literally months after the expansion's release. I think Blizzard gets far more things right than wrong and they get a lot of unwarranted flak but there's nothing really okay about their handling of this situation.

I played RS once... before I got better games. But anyway, I have a lot of friends that still play it. They'll enjoy this. Overall a pretty good movie. Accurate represntation: Everyone in free RS servers is either a noob or a scammer.
Lol, true :D

Life is short isn't it?
I heard a song the other day that said: "Life is a game you can't win so enjoy the ride." I'm sure that there are about a hundred variations of that in song or poems or drunken reflections, but it's all true.
I figure I've delivered a couple of dozen death messages in my career—mostly in the early days when I worked the road.
The first time was unbelievably hard. All I can remember is taking advice from "The Godfather" movie, choosing to deliver the bad news quickly. It was something that I always remembered. They know you're there for bad news because it's all over your face. There is no sense asking them to sit or otherwise prolong what you need to say. It's once you say it that you need to take time with them.
People react differently. Some get angry, some just don't believe a word of it and some just stare at you.
I worked a traffic fatality one night. I drove to the woman's apartment and spoke with her fiancé. I sat him down and told him she had been killed in a car accident. The man got up and looked around and then started cussing. I couldn't figure that one out. He was mad but I couldn't figure out what he was mad at. He wasn't mad like mad at the world for his fiancé dying but rather "I'm inconvenienced mad."
Turns out he was a semi-awful musician and she worked at a small record label and he was more upset that he was losing his record contact than losing a fiancé. Strange dude. I left there feeling sorry for her that she spent her last days with this clown. I never felt sorry for him.
Death is a strange thing. It is the most sobering thing you can think of. It's the final act in your life.
Most police officers, firefighters and EMS people see it from an impersonal view. We're only involved until that time is over and then we're gone. In this business, it's business. Investigations call for things to be done quickly. There's an order to a death investigation and there's little time to reflect on the victim. Being professional means you don't have personal involvement.
Back to life. They say "Life is short. Be happy."
You hear that all the time but the day-to-day gets you back to the mindset that has you putting out fires in your professional and personal life. "Life is short" is something you forget easily. The next thing you know it's 10 years later.
You would think that people in law enforcement or public safety would have a healthy reminder each day that life is short. Not really. We do like everyone else and forget it—until we get the wakeup call that comes every so often. We all get that call.
Today I was surfing around Facebook and came across my cigar guy's Facebook page. I have a guy for certain things. I have a car guy, boat guy and cigar guy. I looked it over and then read a sentence on the top of the page. The sentence was written by a friend of his. Kevin, my cigar guy, had died.
He was 40 years old. Forty is the age when you should start enjoying things that you were too immature to appreciate at an earlier age.
I would make it a point to stop in and talk with him for a while, buy some cigars, tell him goodbye, and in a few days later I would again stop in just to catch up. Now he's gone.
Just like that. Once again it's a reminder that people are here and then they're gone too soon—and it makes you sad.
Life is short folks. Enjoy it now.

Life is short. Enjoy it now. But don't even think of engaging in any activity that does no harm to anyone else but which the government in its infinite wisdom has deemed illegal. Things like drugs, prostitution, and gambling come to mind (and buying/selling alcohol on Sunday). Well, gambling is ok so long as the government gets its cut. Drugs are ok so long as they are sold somewhere the government can get a sales tax cut and its friends in BigPharma can get their profits, but not those that are sold by consenting adults without the government getting its cut. As for prostitution, its ok to prostitute yourself for campaign contributions, but not so that you can put food on the table (again, as in Nevada, unless the government gets its cut). And don't look to the cops to inject any sanity into the discussion. They are busing taking people's homes and cars and businesses under criminal "asset forfeiture laws" so that they can sell them to buy new toys for themselves and their departments (like fast cars and night vision goggles). Also, folks selling drugs, gambling, and engaging in prostitution are easy to catch and prosecute unlike those folks who murder, rape, and commit crimes that actually impact the citizens.
But go ahead and enjoy life (within the confines and limits of our "free society").

Great (and oh so true) article. I've always tried to live by one of Johnny Mercer's songs. We all need to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. Just concentrate on what makes you happy and life will be time well spent. I know it's easier said than done sometimes, but keep trying.

Another great article Steve, thank you. I got this lesson last year (Nov 29th). It was my 40th birthday and I had a great day, getting older has never bothered me, I just wish it would happen a little slower. My brother called me just after I went to bed, I thought to tell me Happy Birthday because he had forgotten but instead he was calling to tell me one of our sisters had died; she was only 47.

My father used to do death notices in the service. He said more than once they'd see him coming down the street. When he knocked on the front door they'd slip out the back. I guess they felt that if they didn't hear the news, it wasn't real.

I guess it doesn't matter that this USED to be a FREE country. The legislature at the federal and state levels violates the constitution, you are fine with that, and I am supposed to leave this country if I don't like it. We are definitely getting the government we deserve.

Patriot, totally disagree with your negative take on our America and happy that you are blessed in this great country of ours, America, to write this type of uninformed venom. I did however appreciate your opinion and thanks for giving me an opportunity to say this:
You do not sound as though you are a Patriot to me. With forethought I find your opinion to be that of a pessimistic non-intellectual American who insults the rest of us. Oh you may have a great job, big house, nice car, and a fancy laptop and your other "toys" that cause you to have a false impression that you have made it in America, but your concept of the true spirit of the America I love is way off track. Indeed and also your opinion of "forfeiture asset" law enforcement is embarrassingly inaccurate.
Americas, from coast to coast both republicans and democrats and independents voted loudly on Tuesday to say something has gone askew in our country and we want new faces to determine the underlying cause of why our great country has lost some of the respect we give each other. The kind of disrespect you give to Mr. Rose with your comment. You sir have shamed yourself.
When did you stop respecting our great America and the GOOD PEOPLE like the many police agencies across the country were 140 officer have been killed protecting us this year, 5 were Georgia Police Officers. At the very least you should respect police officer's enough to choose your words more wisely.
I think it's wonderful that drug dealers lose their property to the American public by means of asset forfeiture laws. It is our American children being poisoned by these drug dealers. By forfeiture of asset to law enforcement (normally on the federal level) it helps the American Public in many ways. Most important of all it takes the drug dealer off of the streets of America, PERMANTLY.
Now let's talk about the fact that it t his captured drugs off the streets and away from all Americans. The forfeited assets provide for many different programs, such as the Dare Program (teaches kids to say no to drugs), bullet proof vests, video cameras for cars (protects AMERICANS as well as the Officer) some needed equipment such as remote bomb detecting mini robots (saves live during terrorist attacks) and let's not forget about the printed educational materials handed out at festivals, schools and other places, such as coloring books and crayons that teach our children about strangers. There so much more I could say that makes your point of view sound even more foolish but break is over. Stop embarrassing yourself.
Peace and Hope to you Sir. Peace for America and hope that you discover the "true spirit" of makes America worth dying for by our many Americans who choose to become police officers. God Bless them all.

Yes, life is very, very short. Tell the people that mean the most to you I love you and I care about you TODAY because TOMORROW they could be gone from our lives. Children, love your parents and remember to thank them for bringing you into this world. Husbands and Wives, love each other and treat the other as you would a guest. And remember, when special people walk into your life for how ever short that time may be, treasure it, embrace it and never let it go. And after all is said and done, when these precious people of our lives leave this world, you will have only memories to cherish. Some people are so special that you would miss them them even if you had never met them. Tell that person today just how much they mean to you. For tomorrow, they could be gone.

Why do you have to bash Cops? They put there lives on the line for your safety and protection, unfortunately there are cops who do not follow all the rules but you cannot categorize all cops into that negative mind frame.
No I am not a cop nor am I in a relationship with one but I do have a couple of cop friends and they are fair, hard workers and they are great caring people.
I think anyone who posst negative comments on here are just craving attention and I feel sorry for you.
I fully support cops and everything they do….I LOVE COPS

@ Patriot, you are obviously one of those people who have never experienced an honest life event. You live in your very narrow universe with no humanity in your cold heart. You totally do not get what Lt. Steve is saying, that he misses his friend and will never have the chance to pass some time with him.
My daughter was kidnapped from her college campus and murdered – I know how to separate the small $*#@ from the big $*#@; I pity you.

My 91 y/o dad has always had the same philosphy ever since I can remember: Time passes far too quickly, and sadly, we lose so many loved ones too soon. Live life and enjoy it, and don't sweat the small stuff. Since you just never know when your number will be up, don't waste your time agonizing over something that won't make a difference in any tomorrow. I think his philosophy speaks volumes given his longevity. He has always been a wise man and is loved by all whose lives he has touched. When anyone asks for him, it is always with a smile. He was a policeman for over 30 years and has been retired for almost as long.
BeeGee: So very sorry for your loss.

Public saftey is a calling. More so than even a job. It's more like your choosen for who you are it's what you do in life. Public safety. Law officers are respected. Feared. (important for those who would do our citizens harm. They are very much loved by the law abiding citizens in the communities where they work. They are larger than life authority for everyone.

New Art Gallery Showcases Student Photography
The UC Merced Art Gallery is in the northeast corner of the Social Science and Management Building, which opened this semester. The room was designed to be an art gallery, complete with ceiling-length windows allowing sunshine to cascade onto white walls. Previously, the only art space was in the Leo and Dottie Kolligian Library.
"This space is like a laboratory, where students can apply some of the skills they've learned," explained art history Professor ShiPu Wang, who oversees the gallery.
The gallery's second show, "Our Merced," opened Nov. 15 and runs until Dec. 8. Undergraduate students curated the photography exhibit, which depicts different aspects of the community. They all had taken an art history class with Wang, so the gallery was a way for them to apply what they learned in class.
Thirteen students, under Wang's guidance, pored over 2,000 photos taken by students during the past five years and selected more than 70 to be in the show.
One photo, "Defiant One," depicts a flower sprouting through cracked concrete. "The Times, They Are A-Changing" shows a new suburban home through the skeleton of a barn.
"Bring on the Clones," which shows several identical Barbie dolls, is a favorite of Reem Yassine, one of the student curators. She said the distinctive image is eye-catching.
"People will stop and look at it and wonder why it's there," said Yassine, an anthropology major from Irvine.
Yassine said she's always enjoyed museums and realized trying her hand at curation would be a rewarding experience. Each student in the group had to bring their selections to the table, and together they whittled the photos for the show down from 130 to 71. Then, they had to decide the order and layout in the art gallery.
Curating the exhibit was just one of Yassine's great experiences at UC Merced, she said. Last summer, she traveled to Belize to explore caves alongside archaeologist Holley Moyes. Once she graduates in the spring, she plans to take a year off before going to graduate school.
"UC Merced opened the doors for me to be whatever I want to be," Yassine said. "I don't think going to any other school would have given me these opportunities."

Why is Cinco de Mayo, a holiday commemorating a Mexican victory over the French at Puebla in 1862, so widely celebrated in the US, when it is scarcely observed in Mexico? Author David Hayes-Bautista will speak about how the holiday is not Mexican at all, but rather an American one, created by Latinos in California during the mid-19th century.

Cape Neddick Lighthouse is a lighthouse in Cape Neddick, York, Maine. In 1874 Congress appropriated $15,000 to build a light station at the "Nubble" and in 1879 construction began. Cape Neddick Light Station was dedicated by the U.S. Lighthouse Service and put into use in 1879. It is still in use today. Plans had been in the works to build a lighthouse on the site since 1837. The tower is lined with brick and sheathed with cast iron. It stands 41 feet (12.5 m) tall but the light is 88 feet (27 m) above sea level because of the additional height of the steep rocky islet on which it sits. Unusually, the stanchions of the walkway railing around the lantern room are decorated with 4-inch (100 mm) brass replicas of the lighthouse...

Demi Moore - Demi Moore And Martin Henderson Romance: Over Before It Began?
Picture: Demi Moore covers her face as she arrives on the movie set of 'Very Good Girls' New York City, USA - 09.07.12
It looks as if rumours that Demi Moore is getting over ex Ashton Kutcher with New Zealand actor Martin Henderson are, well, just rumours.
It was recently reported that the 'Ghost' actress was seen getting cosy with younger man Henderson on a jaunt to New Preston, Connecticut. They apparently had dinner together before going on a long hike. However, according to E! News, sources told them that a mutual friend had arranged the trip with several other people so it's unlikely that their meeting was anything more than friendly.
Meanwhile, whispers surrounding the romance between Ashton Kutcher and his former 'That 70s Show' co-star Mila Kunis continue to circulate since pictures of the pair cuddling and kissing were revealed. Tabloid reports had suggested Moore was heartbroken when she saw the photos suggesting that she still feels very strongly for her ex-husband whom she split with last year after discovering that he had allegedly bedded another woman. Kunis still flatly denies dating Kutcher, revealing to Heat that she simply has no time for guys: 'First, I have to find some time to start seeing a guy, which is tough for me because I'm terrible on dates and I get nervous and don't always feel comfortable or natural in those situations.'

How is the heart like a toilet??!! Watch this week's video and you will never flush before your toilet is finished repolarizing ever again!
- Non-conducted PACs produce pauses that may mimic Mobitz II
- Remember that the P-P interval must remain contant in Mobitz blocks
- Management is very different for PAC's vs. Mobitz II. True Mobitz II will require invasive procedures whereas non-conducted PAC's are generally benign
Watch these related previous videos on expert rhythm interpretation…
3-Step approach to diagnosing AV blocks
Is it really atrial fibrillation?
Everything you want to know about 2nd degree AV Blocks
Episode 98
July 15, 2013
When is 2nd degree AV block not the same as Mobitz? Here's everything you want to know about 2nd degree AVB!
Atrial impulses fail to conducts to the ventrcles. (ie P:QRS >1)
Type I (Mobitz I, Wenckebach)
Each atrial impulse has longer and longer conduction time until it fails to conduct to the ventricle.
Block usually at level of AV node, producing narrow QRS's
May sometimes also have wide QRS's in patient's with pre-existing bundle branch block or intraventricular conduction delay
At least 2 consecutive P-QRS complexes demonstrate progressive PR-interval lengthening before a non-conducted P-wave
P-P interval remains constant
Type II (Mobitz II)
Some but not all impulses are transmitted to the ventricles WITHOUT progressive PR lengthening.
Typically due infranodal block, producing wide QRS's (can also sometime be narrow!)
At least 2 consecutive P-QRS complexes demonstrate constant PR-intervals before the non-conducted P wave
P-P interval remains constant
What if there are not any consecutive P-QRS complexes before the non-conducted P?
If there is a fixed 2:1 ratio throughout, you can't tell if the PR-interval is lengthening, hence can't differentiate between Type I & II
Just call it "2nd degree AV block with fixed 2:1 block"
Advanced (high-grade) AV Block
P:QRS conduction ratio of is 3:1 or higher
Produces extremely slow ventricular rates
Can be Mobitz I or II, may be able to differentiate based on width of QRS
Have you mastered AV blocks to make sure your patients get the best care possible? If not, check out these previous episodes…
Virtually a full review of AV blocks from a single patient…in 14 minutes!
The answer usually lies in the PR-interval!
1st Degree AV Block = "delay" > 200ms at AV node or His bundle.
When the P:QRS>1, consider 2nd and 3rd degree AV Blocks
2nd Degree AV Block = Not every atrial impulse goes through to the ventrcles. (ie P:QRS >1)
Mobitz Type I (Wenckebach) -Each atrial impulse has longer and longer delay until it fails to conduct to the ventricle. Progressive PR-interval lengthening before a dropped beat.
Mobitz Type II - typically due to block below AV node in His bundle. Some but not all impulses are transmitted to the ventricles WITHOUT progressive PR lengthening.
3nd Degree AV Block = P waves march out normally at 60-100 bpm with no relation to the ventricular rate which is typically slower than sinus or the atrial rate.
RBBB vs PVC's
Wide QRS complexes, with large R waves in V1 can be caused by both RBBB and PVC's. An RSR' pattern or the "rabbit ear appearance" is typically seen in V1 with RBBB. PVC's from a left ventricular source will also have dominant R waves in V1. One way to differentiate between RBBB and a PVC is to pay attention to the morphology of the QRS complex.
RBBB - typically has a small R wave (left rabbit ear) and a tall R' (right rabbit ear).
PVC's - will have a larger R wave (left rabbit ear) and a smaller R' (right rabbit ear) or a "hitched" downslope to the wave.
Extra Pearl
R wave > 15mm in setting of RBBB + Rightward Axis = Right ventricular hypertropy (RVH)
Bunny ears not enough? Want more? Check out these related episodes…
Wellens Syndrome
- T-wave abnormality in precordial leads (V2-V3, +/-V4)
- Specific for obstructed proximal LAD lesion
- High risk for extensive anterior wall MI and death
- 2 types
- Type 1-Deeply symmetric TWI
- Type 2- Biphasic T waves with terminal TWI. Goes up first, then down (often misdiagnosed as "normal" or "non-specific T-wave abnormality").
- ST changes are often absent and patient can be chest pain free
- Cardiac biomarkers often initially normal
- Medical management usually ineffective and patients are best treated with PCI, treadmill stress testing may be hazardous.
- Do not diagnose in the presence of large amplitude QRS complexes
- When in doubt get serial ECG's!
Wellens, make sure you know about it. These will help…
Just a simple inferior STEMI? Don't be too sure….
- Usually inferior ST-elevation or diffuse ischemia with ST-depression
- Typical for inferior STEMI's to have reciprocal changes in leads I & aVL
- Consider posterior and right ventricular extension of infarction with inferior STEMI
- Not all chest pain (CP) = ACS, don't forget to consider TAD
- CP + new neurological SSx → TAD
- CP + new diastolic murmur → TAD
- CP + new renal failure → TAD
- CP + new ischemic extremities → TAD
- Remember that TAD can dissect backward and cause hemorrhagic pericardial effusions…careful with that heparin gtt!
Ever hear of the 'check-mark sign'? Well, now you have. And it might help you save a life.
- QR-T complex or "Check mark sign" - a finding associated with STEMI.
- Limited ST-segment, because immediately after the R wave there is a small downslope (s-wave) that quickly transitions to the T-wave
- Uncommon, but can be helpful when other rules do not help distinguish between STEMI and Pericarditis
- Be careful when diagnosing pericarditis in cases where the ECG shows check mark sign
- Young patients DO have MI's
- Don't trust ECG computer interpretations. You should be the expert!
Pericarditis vs. STEMI Algorithm - covered in previous episodes (links below)
- First, make sure you are not missing an acute MI by looking for factors strongly associated with STEMI. Ask yourself:
Is there reciprocal ST-segment depression in any leads (except for aVR and V1)? If yes, it's a STEMI. If not,…
Is the ST-segment morphology convex or horizontal? If yes, it's a STEMI. If not,…
Is the STE in lead III> the STE in lead II? If yes, it's a STEMI.
Are there new Q waves? (Need old ECG) If yes, it's likely a STEMI
Is there a QR-T or check mark sign? If yes, it's likely a STEMI
- If the answer to all these questions is NO, then you should consider the possibility of it being pericarditis. Factors associated with pericarditis:
- Is there pronounced PR-segment depression in all leads? If so, it's possibly pericarditis. (But could also be due to cardiac ischemia, so make sure you are not missing an MI first by answering the first 3 questions!)
- Is there a pericardial friction rub? If so, it's possibly pericarditis

When pericarditis isn't pericarditis
Potassium, digoxin, calcium, AVBs, stone heart…so much to discuss this week!
- When considering AV blocks, always pay attention to the PR segments to help distinguish between Mobitz I, Mobitz II, & AVD/CHB.
- Hyperkalemia can cause just about anything, including AV blocks!
- Calcium in probably safe in digoxin toxicity.
- Levine et al. in their retrospective review of 129 patients who had digoxin toxicity, found that IV calcium did not seem to cause malignant dysrhythmias or increase mortality. They found no support for the historical belief that calcium is contraindicated for these hyperkalemic patients.
More on wide complex tachycardia…
- Hyperkalemia can cause STE and mimic STEMI's & is the most rapid killer in DKA
- Renal patients with systemic complaints should get an ECG and hyperkalemia should be considered
- Bizarre Rhythm? Wide QRS? Think Tox/metabolic…get Calcium & Bicarb ready!
- Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, aka. Impressive Syndrome - Inherited autosomal dominant condition that affects Na+ channels in muscle and the ability to regulate K+ in the blood.
Compare this to Wellens waves that may also be biphasic, but deflect upward before going down!
aVR - the forgotten 12th lead
- BEWARE OF STE in aVR for patients with acute coronary syndromes
- STE in aVR with other ischemic findings on ECG is BAD! (LMCA occlusion, proximal LAD occlusion, or triple vessel disease)
- In the setting of ACS, STE in aVR…
- + STE in avL = LMCA occlusion
- + STE in V1 = LMCA or proximal LAD occlusion
- STE in avR > STE V1 = LMCA occlusion
- ST-elevation in aVR not applicable in setting of SVT or in asymptomatic patients without ischemic symptoms
- aVR STE > 1.0mm should make you worry
- LMCA occlusion may require CABG, so avoid drugs like clopidogrel
- 70% mortality without immediate PCI
- Medical therapy including lytics does not improve mortality
- Emergent PCI may decrease mortality to 40%
- Time delay to PCI is the only predictor of survival
- STE of aVR in very tachycardic rhythms (i.e. SVT), and in the setting of severe hypertension and LVH may be a normal variant or have no clinical significance.
