WYMAN: Headed to Barber
NEWS September 13, 2010
Hello all!
It's been quite the rollercoaster of events at these past few races. Since my last post I've competed at Rounds 8 and 9 of the series at VIR and New Jersey Motorsports Park with mixed results.
At VIR I experienced what a great start can do for me in the Daytona Sportbike class as I headed into turn one in 6th place on both days off the restarts. It gave me the opportunity to ride with the front group; something that has been my ultimate goal over the past few races. It did so much for me to be able to learn and see the pace that those guys run. Being able to watch what they do and see what it takes to be a contender in this incredibly competitive class was quite the experience. School was officially in session! My good start paid dividends at the end when I came away with my best finish in the class with an 8th place result in race one. Headed into race two I was pleasantly greeted with some more confidence and was looking forward to the race. Unfortunately on lap 10 my bike found a false neutral when I was again running in 8th place. The free-wheeling at a steep lean angle ultimately had me taking a soil sample in between turns two and three. It was a major bummer, after looking to improve on my finish in race one, but I took everything that I could from the weekend and proved to myself that hard work will pay off.
At that time it was my job to put that race behind me and focus on the XR1200 race that was coming up at the end of the day. The stage was set again for another battle between Jake and Danny, and I was hoping to put myself in the position to be a factor at the end of the race. I was pushing my Bruce Rossmeyers Daytona Racing Harley-Davidson to it's limits and started to create a three rider group with my RMR teammates. Just a few laps into the race I made a small mistake on my upshifts coming out of turn one, and with these XR1200's, a small mistake can be magnified easily. The rear stepped out and when it kicked back the front end was overloaded, putting myself on the ground again. My brother, Travis, was able to ride a good race after that and move up the charts to take his first career podium finish. Congratulations to him!
The following weeks it was again time to regroup and get ready for my home track event at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Even though it's a 7 hour drive, it's still the closest racetrack to my house! Track familiarity played a huge role in qualifying. Another one of my goals for this year has been to be able to go fast right out of the gate; to get down to some competitive times as soon as I can so I have more sessions remaining to improve. Ultimately I was able to come away with a 12th position spot on the grid, which is a major improvement when in the past I had never qualified inside the top 16. Being two full rows ahead of where I had been starting in the past was a great sigh of relief since turn one at the start of these 600 races have had a history of potential mayhem.
On the warm-up lap of race one, I was taken off the track by a mechanical. Fuel was dumping out of the top of my gas tank and we were unable to fix the problem to make the start of the race. It was heartbreaking to see my hard earned position on the grid empty as those three red lights went out for the start of the race. On to the XR1200's...
I matched my best qualifying position of the year on the XR1200 with a 3rd place starting spot. Oh how good it feels to have nothing but oxygen in front of you on the grid! I put my mind back into my dirt track days of getting the Harley-Davidson XR750 off the line and was able to grab the holeshot going into turn one. The battle ensued; Jake got by me on the first lap with a very fast pace and I settled into a race-long tussle with PJ Jacobsen. We were very close the entire race, never crossing the line with more than a second gap in between us. I got back by him going into turn one with two laps to go, only to lose the spot back to him after the white flag. The passing areas on the XR1200 greatly differ from my Yamaha YZF-R6, so I got a great drive coming out of turn nine right before we would tip into the esses. PJ seemed to miss a shift as we exited the corner. Being directly behind him I was forced to check up after trying to force a pass over the curbing on the right side. From there I did my best to get through that last fast corner where my rival had been so strong throughout the race, but was unable to do it at the line finishing just two tenths behind. What a fun race! I was very happy to get my first podium and enjoy the burning sensation of champagne in my eyes that I have missed so much from my dirt track past.
Balancing two very different classes with very different types of motorcycles, I cleaned myself up and got prepared for Daytona SportBike race two. I was definitely out for redemption after my DNS in race one.
In the morning warmup I felt great. The bike was working good and I did my fastest lap of the weekend. I was confident in my bike setup going into the race and got a pretty good start sitting in 12th going into turn one. I was tagged onto the lead group for the first six laps or so when my forks started bottoming out in turn one. I was doing everything I could to save the front end tuck over the course of the race, and the bike was getting harder to ride with every lap. I've come to the conclusion that my suspension guy (myself!) had missed the race setup slightly. I was able to pick up the pieces and bring home an 11th place, which was still my second best finish in the class.
This season has definitely been a learning experience for me. I gather new things with every session, even every lap that I make around a racetrack. Going into Barber, I need to keep taking baby steps. 2008 was my first season roadracing where I competed as a novice club racer, but sometimes it's hard to reflect back and realize that I don't have the experience that some of the other riders have out there. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to compete at this level, and there are so many great people supporting me that I wouldn't be here without.

Hi All,
I am still a novice tig welder and I am changing out my argon bottle for the first time. It seems like it did not last very long. I do not have a flow meter and I think that may have contributed to it quick demise. With the regulator I had it to about 40 psi. Can someone recommend a flow meter to use with my machine? What flow do I need for steel and Aluminum? Also, question about the gas lens. Do they reduce the amount of argon used and can they be used for general purpose welding?

Go on eBay to USAweld seller. That's HTPs site.
Dont pay for anything individually. They will invoice you for all items and combine shipping when youre done.
You can get a decent flowmeter from them for $30. Gas lenses are around $2 each. Note that gas lenses are not that Pyrex cup thing (when I started I thought that) they screw into your torch. You will need different cups and an insulator because the diameter is larger than your standard collet.
The HTP description for each item should have a chart in it with all the part numbers of what you will will need for a given setup.
Argon is measured for tig welding by flow, not pressure. If you're using a pressure gauge, the flow will be different based on the resistance of the system. God only knows what you were flowing at 40 psi. The gas lens straightens out the gas flow, so you can use less gas flow and have a longer stickout when needed and still good gas coverage. I get buy with around 10 cfh on aluminum and 8 on steel with my 20 series torch and a gas lens.

I'm sure you mean 40 cfh...you may have a gauge reading in psi but that would be a little rare. Either way, sounds high. You should get the miller weld settings program or app if you have a smartphone. I think it's on their website too. Gets your settings to roughly start with.

Thanks all for the replies. I only have a pressure gauge to measure tank pressure and outlet pressure so I think it is psi and not cfm. I set it to 40psi because I do not know where it should be set at.

I'll turn the game on at kickoff, ignoring all pregame pizazz. Hard to root for any of the 4 teams left. I guess I will root for the ravens and hope lewis has a horrible game. It is too hard in any circumstance to root for the pats, unless they are playing the jersey jets.
**** the pats r u kidding i dont want to hear about tom brady winning 4 superbowls i could care less about ray lewis
I wish the Dolphins had somebody with half the heart that Ray Lewis has. Dude is a competitor and gives his all every game.
Screw the Patsies. They've had enough Super Bowl appearances. Like others have said, I will never root for the Pats, Bills, or Jets. Hell, you could even include the Dallas Cowboys in that mix.
For me, I hold no ill will towards Ray Lewis, as I do not know what happened that night. I'm not particularly a fan of his, but I don't hate him either. What would drown out the Ray Lewis chatter is a battle of the brotherss. The media would be all over the Harbaugh Bowl....two brothers battling it out for the Lombardi Trophy. Now THAT'S a story.
Nah you guys are alone.
Who cares about Ray Lewis, good he has heart, I don't care. He's not bitch made like Brady.
If not for two amazing catches by the giants, tom brady goes down as the best QB of all time. He still has a shot at that. No way do I want to see that happen. Make him a .500 player in the superbowl.
If you hate ray lewis more than you hate the patriots, then I will question your fandom. Forget suck for luck or root for your team on sundays, always say **** the jets, pats, and bills
(On Miami sports teams being popular)
-Thats not competition, LeBron said. Thats like you rooting for your family members. Thats not competition at all. It would be great to have him, but well see.
I think the real question is, am I the only one who hates the Patriots more than any team, even more than the Jets? I wanta see the Ravens smash tom crybrady and that piece of crap, no class Bill Belicheat. Hate that organization more than the Jets, and Im not sure why more Fins fans dont hate the pats like they should
I will never, ****ing ever, root for the Patriots. Dance all you ****ing want Ray Lewis!Anyone else applaud when Gronk refractured his arm? I sure as **** did.

These are excellent. I was a little skeptical with the whole wheat and the canola oil, but once baked and eaten they were yummy! Light, crispy and delicious. I used chocolate chips that were 60% cocoa. This recipe made the taste of the cocoa stand out. Thanks for this recipe, Ms. Rosenber.

Sometimes takes a couple of days before I am sick after glutening. I get tired on the first day and anxious, migraine the second day, then sickness and D the next day. It takes about a week to get over it usually.
That's very interesting. I had a migraine yesterday (and part of the previous day) about midnight last night I started with nausea and stomach cramping and constant visits to the bathroom. I may re-commence my food diary, to see if it sheds any light on my situation.

I suggest 2-3 doses of probiotics right away to help. That much probiotics usually is pretty hard on my stomach but after CC, it helps shorten the duration to under a day. - I picture the probiotics in my guts as trigger happy marines. They go in shoot up the place then burn it down. Its not peaceful, but they get er done.

It takes me 1-2 days to react most of the time. The previous poster's thought of it being a more minor CC that takes a couple days to show up is my thought as well. I am careful not to consume direct gluten, but suck at being lax and eating out and taking the chance of CC. It is hard that it takes a couple days to show up, it makes it harder for me to pin point what made me sick.
I think it varies from person to person.

Everything that others have said. Buy a stack of replacements, they are cheap. I clean mine with my hand, my glove, my shirt, etc., whatever is fastest. When they get to really scratched I put new ones in. Sometimes I can't believe the difference when I change the clears.

That's good advice provided you can see at that distance. Myself if I weld that far away I can't see well enough to weld.
As davedarragh has said I only use my "Big Window Elite" for TIG welding. For everything else I use a 25.00 Jackson helmet. By the way the new Jackson headgear is a big improvement over the original.
The clears for the Big Window Elite are expensive in my opinion but the clears for the Jackson are cheap, I think I pay somewhere between .50 and .75 a piece for them.Blondie (Owner C & S Automotive)

Miller Elite
Love My Elite for years. The only problems I have Is the inside cover. While changing lenses out its hard not to mare the very sensitive inside lens. I gently on a clean surface carefully install then put scotch tape around sides to keep grinding dust from getting in between the auto-darkening and cover lens. The outer cover gets gets wiped on my sleeve a lot but too much arc splashes makes it hard to see as i tig. That is when I Know it is time to replace.20140219_090224.jpg

Keeping Hood Lenses Clean when Working with SMAW or FCAW
Try getting a cheater lens for your helmet. ( magnifying lens) that should help so your not holding your face as close. Or try reading glasses.

When I know I'm going to be welding a lot that day, I have a micro fiber rag in my back pocket (at least near by). You can get them at the dollar store. It's not going to stop all of the scratches but it's got be better than using your shirt. Or just lick it clean ;-)

World champion Sebastian Vettel took pole position for Sunday's season-opening Qantas Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park – then revealed that neither he nor team-mate Mark Webber had made any use of the power and speed-boost available with their Kinetic Energy Regeneration System (KERS).
"Not fully charged," he said, with a grin. "We'll keep that in the team... But this was a very good first step for us, to start the season this way is a good base.
"We have worked very hard to get the RB7 where it is now and that is mostly down to the people at the factory and those 'Down Under' who are making it ready. For me, it was a pleasure today. I was quite fast and I am happy with the result.
"But we have zero points like everybody else so now we have to see how we get on in the race."
Only two weeks ago Lewis Hamilton, who snatched second place from Webber with an inspired late lap, was lamenting that his McLaren was uncompetitive, but an overhaul of the exhaust system, floor and front wing has worked wonders.
Hamilton said: "I am absolutely thrilled to be up here today. The guys at the factory have done an unbelievable job. We have really got ourselves back on the right track. "It was a very brave and tough decision to pull back from where we were and after what we did over the winter tests.
"We decided to come back and go in another direction. That is the first time it has happened since I have been in the team. It was very rare, we have never done that before, but the results from the wind tunnel looked good.
"The guys have worked harder than ever, the car feels a huge improvement for us and a great stepping stone for us and a great foundation for us to build on."
Mark Webber was "mystified" by the 0.78 seconds gap between him and Sebastian Vettel but determined to do better on Sunday.
"I couldn't do the times today," he said. "I was disappointed with my performance. Seb put in a good lap and I'm disappointed to get bumped off the front row. I am mystified by the gap and I'll have to look at where I can improve.
"We put everything forward and I wasn't in the fight for pole.
"So, now, I need to address that and take it into tomorrow's race. I've had tough Saturdays before and Sunday's a long, long day. I hope to be up here (in the 1-2-3 press conference) again tomorrow."

The Army is migrating this year from locally controlled email to a large Department of Defense (DoD)-wide email system. The Network Enterprise Center is gearing up to guide you through the migration process with minimum impact. So what does this mean for you?
Your email will be accessed much as it is now: Outlook on your desktop, CAC authenticated web email from any Internet connection with a CAC setup, and/or blackberry.
You will have a larger mailbox (up to 40 times larger for the average user).
Your e-mail account will follow as you PCS much like your AKO account does now.
Accounts will be migrated overnight once it is your turn. Mailbox will need to be reduced below 50MB to migrate. Blackberries will need special migration, but will be handled similarly.
Outlook Public folders will no longer be supported. Documents, Calendars and other items currently stored there will need to be migrated to the local SharePoint, File Server, or an Organizational Mailbox.
Calendars will still be shareable in the new system (now across all of DoD).
Current schedule has Fort Irwin (not including MEDDAC) migrating starting April 3, but this date is subject to change. The most important thing you can do now is to stay informed and keep your mailbox small to help the speed of your migration. Keep your mailbox size at less than 50MB and store important items in a local Personal Folder.  You can upload your important items to your new mailbox after the migration is complete. If you don't know what a PST is, you need to ask your IMO and get help now. Also get used to sending emails less than 25 MB since that is the EE attachment limit and will help keep our current mailboxes under the 50 MB total size migration limit.
Stay tuned for the latest information in base-wide e-mails from "IRWIN NEC Service Desk†and online locally at https://irwin-portal/sites/NEC/NECpublic/AEEM (site also contains important migration videos). Contact your IMO if you need additional support.

While the holidays are a time for baked goods galore, it's often unsafe for our four-legged friends to join in on the sugar-filled fun. Just before Christmas, Tinkerbell, a two-year-old, five-pound Chihuahua, wolfed down eight macadamia nut cookies that she found in her pet parent's backpack. When her pet parent, Joseph C., saw that Tinkerbell was vomiting and lethargic, he brought her to the ASPCA Animal Hospital (AAH).
ASPCA veterinarian Dr. Michael Dugan assessed Tinkerbell, and submitted lab work. Her symptoms and test results were consistent with possible macadamia nut toxicity. AAH staff consulted with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center and confirmed that this was a strong possibility.
Tinkerbell was admitted to AAH where she received supportive care in the Intensive Care Unit. Luckily, she responded well to treatment. She went home the next day with antibiotics and antacids, and Joseph reports that she has made a full recovery. He says from now on, he'll keep sweet treats out of Tinkerbell's reach. We're so glad this tiny pup is happy and healthy!

Do they use icons in the Roman Catholic Church like they do in the East Orthodox Church? In my limited experience, I've only seen statues in the Roman Catholic Church, but not icons. I don't just mean having some images in the temple, but also praying while looking at them and kissing them from time to time - just like it is done in the East Orthodox.
Sure, they do!!! See this famous icon -
I don't know if it's common practice among all Catholics, but I kiss the image of Jesus on my scapular every chance I get. It's pretty much an icon except it's done on cloth.
I kiss the cross when making the sign of the cross while praying the rosary and on Good Friday we venerate the cross of Jesus by kissing the crucifix. Latin American Catholics are also known to make a tiny cross with their fingers after making the sign of the cross and kissing that (their hand).
There is one company that I know of in the united states that makes Catholic Icons (as well as Orthodox Icons); that's monastery icons. I don't believe a Catholic would be prohibited from venerating any sort of holy icon in an appropriate manner. Blessed icons would be considered sacramentals.
The veneration of icons in the Eastern Churches is not the same as in the Catholic Church. The hold a kind of mystical presence of the saint represented in the icon. They have a whole thoelogy of icons developed in the 8th century during the iconoclasm controversy, particularly by St. John Damascene and approved by the Second Council of Nicea, 7th Ecumenical. That doctrine is shared by the Catholic Church, but the emphasis is different. Icons in the Eastern Churches are much more sylized and not naturalistic, which is the case in the West especially since the end of the Middle Ages. They are not portraits.

Mitt Romney could have won. By Tuesday night, it was certain that 48 percent of the country no longer believed in the portrait of hope and change that Barack Obama offered up in 2008—if any ever had. Like the picture of Dorian Gray, the reality had grown somewhat repugnant to vast numbers of voters unhappy with a stagnant economy, even as Obama continued to portray himself as the good-guy savior (from George W. Bush, that is) in the White House.
But in the end, Obama secured a second historic election victory—in the face of staggering unemployment—largely because the alternative portrait that Romney presented to the country was far too incomplete. By failing to fill in critical details that would have fleshed out both his personality and his policies, the Republican challenger gave the American people a mere pencil sketch of a candidate. It wasn't enough, and it was much too abstract. Too many voters couldn't figure out which Romney would show up in the Oval Office. Would it be the Massachusetts-moderate redux they saw in the last six weeks of the campaign, or the right-wing ideologue from the Republican primaries who embraced a small-government zealot, Rep. Paul Ryan, as his running mate?
That's not to underrate the savvy, and very savage, campaign that the Obama team ran, one that ruthlessly exploited all of these Romney weaknesses and cost the GOP candidate critical blocs of female and Hispanic voters who didn't buy the reality of Moderate Mitt. For all of the fretting about how $5 billion in campaign spending left the nation with something close to the status quo ante—a Democratic president and Senate, a GOP House—perhaps the most successful chunk of advertising money ever spent in modern American political history was the initial $50 million or so the Obama team devoted last spring to defining Romney as an exploitative, job-exporting Wall Street plutocrat.
In a dynamic that played out much like 2004, when Democratic challenger John Kerry failed to respond to the Republicans' "Swift Boat" attacks, Romney never responded effectively to the fat-cat charges. And he never overcame that image, as a blanket of Obama ads kept up the attack through Nov. 6 in the battleground states. "I think they were very smart in defining him early. The early ads paid off," says GOP strategist Rick Tyler, who helped Newt Gingrich defeat Romney in the South Carolina primary by portraying him similarly. "I don't think he ever really recovered."
The Obama attack successfully neutralized Romney's main argument that as a businessman and numbers whiz, he was best suited to fix the economy. Postelection polling suggests that even though Romney had slightly higher numbers on economic performance than Obama in some polls, his advantage there was eclipsed by doubts about the soundness of his policies and his evenhandedness. According to pollster John Zogby, while most voters on Tuesday cited the economy as their top issue, as expected, 52 percent said that Romney's policies would favor the wealthy, while a plurality of 43 percent said that Obama's policies more greatly benefit the middle class.
In addition, despite Romney's impressive fundraising record, the Obama campaign was always ahead in organization, especially in maintaining its superb precinct-level ground game from 2008. This produced high turnout in the battleground states, even in the face of economic disillusionment. "It's very tough to take out an incumbent president," Tyler says. "Obama's team just created a firewall in the battleground states." The Obama campaign's computer models also appear to have read
the electorate far more accurately than Romney's did.
The biggest mistakes of the 2012 election campaign were made by Romney himself.
Finally, Romney kept committing unforced errors, and Obama made very few. Romney's gaffe-strewn tour of Britain and Israel in July; his callous exploitation of Ambassador Chris Stevens's killing in Benghazi, Libya, on the day of his death (Sept. 11, no less); above all, his mind-boggling videotaped dismissal of "47 percent" of the country as bloodsucking government dependents—it all played into the Obama team's portrait of him as a clueless, not-ready-for-prime-time player. By the time the Republican nominee regained his footing with a powerful performance in the first debate on Oct. 3 and began to run a fairly smooth campaign, it was too late to overcome an image of incompetence, aloofness, and lack of definition.
All of this best explains how Obama set a postwar political record by getting himself reelected despite a 7.9 percent jobless rate (no president since FDR had done it with the jobless rate above 7.2 percent), favorable ratings barely hovering at 50 percent, and a majority of Americans saying the country was headed in the wrong direction. The president squeaked into a second term by persuading critical pockets of voters in battleground states who appeared to appreciate his efforts on the economy (especially in the industrial Midwest, which was grateful for the auto bailout), and weren't as bad off as the nation as a whole—such as Virginia, with its 5.9 percent unemployment rate, and Ohio, a big beneficiary of the auto bailout, with a 7.2 percent jobless rate that was well below the national average.

Welcome in Zürich! At 6 pm, meet your Tour Director and traveling companions for a welcome dinner at your hotel. (Dinner)
Enjoy an orientation walk of Zürich's OLD TOWN, Switzerland's center of banking and commerce. Next, a scenic drive following Lake Zürich. Stop in Kaltbrunn for a visit to a traditional CHOCOLATE CONFECTIONARY for a true taste of Switzerland. Continue along Lake Walen and through the high Alps to the tiny Principality of Liechtenstein. After a break in its capital, Vaduz, ascend the Rhine Valley into the mountainous Grisons, a canton where three of the country's four languages are spoken. The 7,504-foot Julier Pass, an important Alpine road since Roman times, leads to the Engadine. This valley is considered by many as the most beautiful mountain area in the world, with deep-blue lakes, airy larch forests that turn golden in the fall, mountain peaks exceeding 12,000 feet, and quaint villages with massive white stone houses in the characteristic Grisons style. Afternoon arrival in ritzy St. Moritz. (Breakfast, Dinner)
A gradual change of scenery as you descend towards the enchanting shores of Italy's Lake Como and continue on to the southern tip of Switzerland. The vegetation south of the Alps is Mediterranean: chestnut groves, vineyards, and olive and fig trees make you forget that earlier today you were within walking distance of glaciers. Afternoon arrival in the popular subtropical resort town of Lugano allows time for shopping under the arcades of Via Nassa, an espresso on flower-festooned Piazza Riforma, or a stroll along the lake. (Breakfast)
From Lake Lugano to the Italian shore of Lake Maggiore for a break in elegant Stresa. An optional boat ride to enchanting Isola Bella can be arranged. On over lofty Simplon Pass into the Swiss Valais, an area renowned for its excellent wines and great mountain resorts. To reach the most famous of them, leave the coach behind in Täsch and board a MOUNTAIN TRAIN to climb the last few miles up to car-free Zermatt, a picturesque cluster of rustic chalets beneath the Matterhorn. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Enjoy another true Swiss experience: ride Europe's highest rack railway to 10,272-foot GORNERGRAT for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Alps. A GROUP PICTURE will be taken with a real St. Bernard dog, with the Matterhorn towering above you in the background, a true Swiss icon. Next, motor through the vineyards and apricot groves of the lower Rhône Valley, and arrive at beautiful Lake Geneva for your overnight stay. (Breakfast, Dinner)
In the stately capital of Berne, your guided tour starts at the BEAR PARK, followed by a panoramic view of the city from the Rose Garden. Next, enjoy a walking tour through the beautifully preserved medieval Old Town. Witness the hourly parade of painted figures at the Clock Tower and take your pictures of ornate, flower-adorned fountains. Highlight of the day is a special lunch at a traditional Swiss WORKING FARM, to give you a chance to see how many people in Switzerland live in the mountains. Continue to Interlaken and take pictures of the Jungfrau massif with its group of three famous peaks: the Jungfrau, the Mönch, and the Eiger. Over Brünig Pass to picture-book Lucerne. An optional dinner excursion to a folklore party with yodeling and alphorn blowing is available for a first-hand impression of Alpine merrymaking. (Breakfast, Lunch)
On your walking tour this morning, admire Thorwaldsen's impressive LION MONUMENT, dedicated to the Swiss Guards who protected the Royal House of France during the French Revolution, and ornate patrician houses of the walled Old Town, then cross the famous covered CHAPEL BRIDGE to the Jesuit church. Afterwards, shop for watches or climb a mountain by cable car. Tonight, a special farewell dinner with wine awaits you at a local restaurant for a proper Auf Wiedersehen. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Morning transfer to Zürich Airport in time for homebound flights leaving no earlier than 10 am. Extra nights are available in Zürich, not Lucerne. (Breakfast)

Why Are Some Atoms Radioactive?
Ionizing & Non-Ionizing Radiation
Radiation is energy given off by some atoms in the form of particles or rays (photons), but why do these atoms need to throw off energy?
On this page:
- What causes atoms to be radioactive?
- Can unstable atoms become stable?
- How long do radionuclides stay radioactive?
- What's the difference between radiation and radioactivity?
- Is all ionizing radiation the same?
What causes atoms to be radioactive?
Atoms found in nature are either stable or unstable. An atom is stable if the forces among the particles that make up the nucleus are balanced. An atom is unstable (radioactive) if these forces are unbalanced if the nucleus has an excess of internal energy. Unstable atoms are called radionuclides. The instability of a radionuclide's nucleus may result from an excess of either neutrons or protons. An unstable nucleus will continually vibrate and contort and, sooner or later, attempt to reach stability by some combination of means:
- ejecting neutrons, and protons
- converting one to the other with the ejection of a beta particle or positron
- the release of additional energy by photon (i.e., gamma ray) emission.
Can unstable atoms become stable?
Yes. As the unstable nucleus emits radiation (disintegrates), the radionuclide transforms to different nuclides. The process is called radioactive decay. It will continue until the forces in the nucleus are balanced. For example, as a radionuclide decays, it will become a different isotope of the same element if the number of neutrons changes and a different element altogether if the number of protons changes.
Often, when a radionuclide decays, the decay product (the new nuclide) is also radioactive. This is true for most naturally occurring radioactive materials and for some fission products. In order to become stable, these materials must go through many steps, becoming a series of different nuclides and giving off energy as particles or rays at each step. The series of transformations that a given radionuclide will undergo, as well as the kind of radiation it emits, are characteristic of the radionuclide. This is called a 'decay chain.'
How long do radionuclides stay radioactive?
It depends on the kind of radioactive material you're dealing with. The rate of decay is one of the characteristics of radionuclides. Scientists talk about this rate as a radionuclide's radioactive half-life, commonly referred to as just half-life. It is the time required for the disintegration of one-half of the radioactive atoms that are present when measurement starts. It does not represent a fixed number of atoms that disintegrate, but a fraction. For any given radionuclide, its half-life remains constant.
- Radioactive Half-Life
This page explains half-life and the origin of the term.
What's the difference between radiation and radioactivity?
Radiation is the energy that is released as particles or rays, during radioactive decay. Radioactivity is the property of an atom that describes spontaneous changes in its nucleus that create a different nuclide. These changes usually happen as emissions of alpha or beta particles and often gamma rays. The rate of emission is referred to as a material's activity.
Each occurrence of a nucleus emitting particles or energy is referred to as a disintegration. The number of disintegrations per unit time ( is called the activity of a sample.(Since each disintegration transforms the atom to a new nuclide, transformation is often substituted for disintegration in talking about radioactive decay and activity.)
Activity is expressed in becquerels or curies, with curies being the original unit and remaining more common in the U.S. One becquerel equals one transformation per second. One curie equals 37 billion disintegrations per second, but was originally defined the number of disintegrations of one gram of pure radium per second.
- Curies
This page describes and explains the origin of the unit, curie.
Is all ionizing radiation the same?
No. Ionizing radiation can be in the form of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays (photons), and each form behaves differently. The kind of radiation given off by a nucleus depends on the nature of the imbalance in the nuclear forces:
Alpha Particles
Alpha particles can be shielded by a sheet of paper or by human skin. However, if radionuclides that emit alpha particles are inhaled, ingested, or enter your body through a cut in your skin, they can be very harmful.
Beta Particles
Beta particles cannot be stopped by a sheet of paper. Some beta particles can be stopped by human skin, but some need a thicker shield (like wood) to stop them. Just like alpha particles, beta particles can also cause serious damage to your health if they enter your body. For example, if ingested, some radionuclides that emit beta particles might be absorbed into your bones and cause damage.
Gamma and X-Rays
Gamma rays are the most penetrating of the three types of radiation listed here. Gamma rays usually accompany beta, and some alpha rays. Gamma rays will penetrate paper, skin, wood, and other substances. To protect yourself from gamma rays, you need a shield at least as thick as a concrete wall. This type of radiation causes severe damage to your internal organs. (X-rays fall into this category, but they are less penetrating than gamma rays.)
Other Types of Radioactive Decay (minor modes)
Radioactive decay is a complex process. Nuclei have several other means by which to emit excess energy.

Recently on a trip to California my cousin who works for Pete's Tea and Coffee introduced me to this wonderful product. It has defiantly reset my metabolism and it smells and taste great. With a teaspoon of lemon and two Splenda's it is my daily treat to myself.

I lost 65 pounds JUST by drinking this tea. It completely "reset" my metabolism. I did not change my diet or exercise habits! After having 4 children I struggled for years to loose the baby weight so I could feel like myself again. Thanks to Peet's Jasmine Fancy Tea I am down from a size 16 to a size 2! I feel terrific, have all my energy back and get complimented all the time. The taste is amazing and I didn't start drinking this tea for this reason, I started drinking it for the amazing flavor and fell in love with the side affects =)
- Kris , drinking Peet's since 2007 4/5/11

This is a wonderful jasmine tea, with full, sweet flavor. It's good both hot and iced. Some is always on hand in our 'fridge during warm weather. On hot days it seems like I just can't brew this tea fast enough to keep up with the demand; fortunately, the leaves are strong enough for two steepings. If jasmine tea is oversteeped, it develops a tang that sets my teeth on edge, so I follow the instructions on the tin for heating the water to boiling and cooling for 2 minutes but use 3 scant teaspoons of tea leaves to 4 cups water. The first steeping is timed for 3 minutes, the second for 4 minutes. As Peet's Tea isn't available to me locally, Jasmine Fancy is so good that I am considering joining Peetniks to ensure a constant supply.
- Mark Silber , drinking Peet's since 2009 1/27/10

My wife and I have had Jasmine tea from every wholesale and retail outlet in 7-10 states and Canada, but never have we enjoyed jasmine tea as Peet's produces in a small black tin. Great job - most flavorful and never gets bitter with prolonged steeping, as other jasmine teas do. We are not committed to Peet's jasmine tea, and willing to try your other products.

Aaaahhhh, what a soothing yet flavorful tea. I love the very best of things and this tea is some of the very best I have ever had. I recommend a hot cup with a good book and a roaring fire on a day/night when you really want to feel special.
- Brenna 4/30/08
I LOVE THIS TEA! I have a cup of it every morning. It's got an amazing aroma and is a great kick off for the day.

I'd heard that green teas possess beneficial qualities in terms of eliminating some of the body's toxins. Whether or not that's true, the Jasmine Fancy certainly makes me feel better. The taste is refreshing, the aroma intoxicating. It's the perfect antidote to a hard day of work.

Comments On Sep 19, 2012:I have not yet put this bumper on but it is a nice light weight bumper an that is what I wanted. I like the design of the bumper the most. The only thing I think that could be better would be how they pack it for shipping. It had a few light scratches on it but nothing to bad.

Comments On Jan 11, 2012:Just installed today on my 2012 TRX 450 and it went on easy and I did not have to bend or cut anything and it did not interfere with by rear plastics at all. So far I love it I really did not get the chance to test it much, but it looks great and very easy install and perfect fit.

Comments On Feb 28, 2011:They certainly do look real good and sturdy, and aren't difficult to install at all. My 10-year-old installed them on our Rappy 660. 20 minutes later, when he said "dude, I'm done", all I had to do was make sure everything was on tight.

Comments On Aug 07, 2009:I purchased this bumper for my old raptor 660. Came with mounting hardware and installation was easy other than aligning the bumper perfectly was a little difficult. It is big, looks good, and easily plows and pushes brush and saplings right out of my way. I abused the crap out of this bumper and its still looks and works like new.
