12 Celeb Moms Who've Opened Up About Miscarriage
Ten to 25 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, but until recently, many women didn't speak openly about their experiences. Gwyneth Paltrow is frequently seen running around London and Hollywood with her kids, Apple and Moses, in tow, but over the weekend, she revealed that she always wanted a third child, but miscarried her third pregnancy. Gwyneth said, "I had a really bad experience when I was pregnant with my third. It didn't work out and I nearly died."
While many mamas keep their road to pregnancy private, others are very open about their struggles, in hopes of helping women in similar situations. We've rounded up 12 celeb mamas who've shared details about their struggles with miscarriages on the road to parenthood.

One of the really wonderful things about the site, and I wish this was a lesson i had learned in my real life -- and i beg all of you younger folk to absorb it, is that DC is "Built to live within its means".
That is -- the only fixed expense of DC is the website hosting costs -- and that is inevitably correlated with donations.. So that if donations dropped precipitously at some point, we wouldn't need the bandwidth and could shift to a cheaper host. Outside of that, every donation is just a wonderful bonus, and the site can run forever.

Fenninger rides her luck to second in Garmisch
On a rare day that saw defending World Cup Super G Champion Lindsey Vonn fail to finish, it was Anna Fenninger that upheld the honour of the HEAD World Cup Rebels with second place in the Garmisch World Cup Super G. The bitterly cold conditions and a demanding course that was technically interesting, Fenninger placed second behind Julia Mancuso with Tina Weirather in third place.
Fenninger started two behind Mancuso and was chasing the time that she had set in the finish. With four of the first six races having struggled on the lower part of the Icehang section of the course, news reached the start that this was a place to be wary of. Fenninger admitted that she had been a little too straight at the first jump at the top of course and this had cost her a little time as she had to rapidly correct her line or she would have collided with a gate! "The top was not so good," she explained "and then I had to work lower down the course."
This was Fenninger's fourth Super G podium in the fifth race of the season and she admitted that "the feeling is much better in Super G at the moment than in Downhill." In scoring 80 points in the race, Fenninger's consistency means that she is now just 20 points behind Vonn with three races in the Super G World Cup to go.
With Lindsey Vonn starting straight after the Austrian, Vonn was held in the start for a period of time. While Vonn posted a faster first split than Mancuso's time, she struggled on the steep and dark pitch that is known as Icehang and when she rapidly had to correct the direction of her skis and then got caught in the wrong direction for the next gate, this was not going to be the race that gave her the outright lead in the number of wins in World Cup Super G.
With Maria Hoefl-Riesch placing fourth, a tenth of a second behind third place, World Champion Lizzi Goergl rued a bad choice of line as she placed seventh overall.

February half term is one of the most popular weeks of the season. With flights from Scottish airports being less frequent then their London counterparts they sell out extremely quickly. Though not all schools will have a full week off in February, those that do are mostly around the week commencing 8th/9th February, the week before the main half term dates in England — making prices this season more appealing. With half term skiing being at a premium, the sooner you book the better.
Other peak dates to consider booking before all the Scottish flights sell out, and they always do, include Christmas skiing, New Year skiing and Easter skiing. We also offer a variety of ski holidays from Edinburgh, Inverness and ski holidays from Glasgow throughout the year.

If you guys get a chance, read the article on the huffington post titled "I am Adam Lanza's Mother".
It tackles the issue of how this country has NO METHOD to deal with kids that are like this. I can vouch for that as I know what my mother in law had to go through with my brother in law.
His damage has been controlled to this point, but who knows what the future will bring. She seemed to have the same thing told to to her when she looked for help, well if he gets arrested we can do something...
Well he has been arrested, several times, spent some time behind bars, but will not spend any serious time there until he gets caught.

SAS is the national airline of the three Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) the three most liberal and gay-friendly countries in the world. We have for years been a member of IGLTA (The International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association), and we are also a proud member of the Stockholm Gay and Lesbian Network.
Besides being the official airline for events such as World Out Games (Copenhagen, 2009) and Mr Gay World (Oslo, 2010), SAS launched the world's first global LGBT campaign, Love is in the air, where same-sex couples could compete to become the world's first gay or lesbian couple to get married in the air. You see, compared to our competitors, who claim to be gay-friendly by producing pretty ads, we are more focused at proving we're gay-friendly with real activities. On December 6, 2010, SAS hosted the world's first gay and lesbian weddings in the air on a flight from Stockholm to New York. Over 300 couples from all over the world competed, with over 350,000 unique votes cast. You can learn more about the campaign in the video above.

Romain Grosjean once again proved that he is ready to take a leading role at Lotus next year as he claimed his third podium of the year in Japan.
Starting P3 on the grid, the Frenchman appeared to be on course for second place, but he was overtaken by his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen with just under 20 laps to go.
Although he tried to fight back, he couldn't quite manage to pull it off as he was having an issue with his E21.
He finished safely in third and was given a strange message as he crossed the finish line with his engineer telling him: "We'll talk about this in the office afterwards but for now big ******* smile on the podium, big ******* smile."
Grosjean did as he was told and he was pretty happy with his display at the Yeongam circuit.
"It was pretty good fun, we had a good start, it was hard but it was good to be very close to the Red Bull, it didn't get too far away," he said.
"I made a small mistake and Kimi overtook me but it was my mistake. But we are back on the podium so it is all good."
Team principal Eric Boullier, who told Grosjean to "keep racing like it is", felt it was part of the learning process for the Frenchman.
"Romain gets frustrated obviously because he did a small mistake on the restart after the Safety car and Kimi just past him." he said.
"I think he was begging some team orders to let him past but he has a mistake and it was a normal racing time...
He added: "I think he could have been quicker but he was a little upset and he lost concentration so it's just part of his learning curve."

This was a quote from Maddona a week before the superbowl talking about the spiritual importance she placed on her halftime show......
The blind enjoyed the sermon and those who do understand the symbols laugh (or mourn) at the rest of you who didn't even know they were there."The Superbowl is kind of like the Holy of Holies in America. I'll come at halfway of the "church experience" and I'm gonna have to deliver a sermon. It'll have to be very impactful."

Love this one.
The free version adds a few lines of text on the top of the page but that's outside the "rolls" in this file.
You can download the PDFs from here:
"coins packaged by banks, dealers or the United States Mint. The number of coins in a roll depends on the denomination: 50 cents, 40 nickels, 50 dimes, 40 quarters, 20 half dollars, or 25 dollars."
So the way I figure it is:
50 pennies = 50¢
40 nickels = $2.00
50 dimes = $5.00
40 quarters = $10.00 (as it is above)
20 half dollars = $10.00
25 dollars = $25.00
That should be right.

Michael Schumacher's career as a Formula One driver may be over, but he could continue his relationship with Mercedes.
Three years after coming out of retirement to drive for the Brackley squad, the seven-time World Champion has decided to call it quits for a final time and he bowed out with a seventh-place finish at the Brazilian GP on Sunday.
Although Schumacher is determined to enjoy life away from F1, he has hinted he could take up a role at Merc.
"Obviously I will be in discussions with Mercedes to see what we're going to do together," he is quoted as saying by Autosport.
"There are good ideas and good options. I'm pretty sure my calendar will easily be filled up."
He added: "I've certainly been counting down the days to the life I have next to Formula 1, and I look forward to this life.
"I don't have concrete future plans. I obviously have partners I've been working with during the F1 time and I'll keep on working with them in the time after.
"Lots more time will be dedicated to the family, and if there is some time left over afterwards then we'll see."

ICBA, 38 State Community Banking Associations Oppose FCS Lending Expansion to Non-Farm Activities
Washington, D.C. (Oct. 22, 2007)—The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) and 38 state independent community banking associations urged the U.S. Senate to oppose proposals to expand lending powers for the Farm Credit System (FCS) and prevent the system from diverting resources away from its farmer-oriented mission.
"After failing in their effort to have the House of Representatives include expanded lending authority in the 2007 Farm Bill, the FCS is now promoting an expansion proposal in the Senate on biorefineries and home mortgage lending that is not narrow, does not constitute a compromise, and would do substantial harm to farmer-owned biofuels businesses and rural communities," ICBA and the 38 state community banking associations wrote in their letter to the Senate. "The FCS's latest proposals shift the system's statutorily mandated focus away from farmers and farmer-owned cooperatives for biofuels financing. Under the proposal, there would be no requirements for any farmer-ownership."
The FCS's mortgage lending plan would expand its fully tax-exempt home mortgage lending authority to larger communities, without a maximum dollar limit on the size of the loans and without a requirement to address affordable housing needs. Other government-sponsored enterprises are subject to both of these requirements to ensure that government-sponsored benefits support the public good.
ICBA and the state community banking associations urge the Senate to finalize and pass the farm bill without the Farm Credit System expansions included. The Farm Bill is important legislation that helps sustain the farm economy, and it is necessary for a new farm bill to move forward. ICBA and its state and regional partners have raised concerns that the expanded powers would move the Farm Credit System far beyond its chartered purpose of focusing on lending to farmers and ranchers.
Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Ranking Member Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) announced the 2007 farm bill will be marked up on Wednesday, Oct. 24.

East Union 3, Nodaway Valley 2
GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley and East Union waged a good Pride of Iowa Conference volleyball battle here Tuesday night, with the Eagles rallying to win, 14-25, 19-25, 25-20, 25-23, 15-10.
"The team really pulled together to get the win," said East Union coach Gail Thatcher. "Kali Mertens led the team in kills with 15. Courtney Phelps moved the ball around well to set up the hitters."
Phelps finished with 33 assists. Kelsey Hoff had eight kills and Brittany Malone had seven while collecting a team-high 18 digs. Hoff served 11-11 with two aces. Phelps was 25-28 serving with an ace. McKayle Dudney was 13-14 at the line.
Megan McIntosh had 15 kills for Nodaway Valley, with Sidney Hohertz and Christine Gross each finishing with 11. Josie Carter had a team-high 27 assists and went 21-22 at the service line with an ace. Kate Ehrsam led the team with 21 digs and Hohertz added 11.
Rachel Jacobson had 10 assists and was perfect in 16 serves with two assists. McIntosh was a force at the net with four solo blocks.
We had a great start," said NV coach Hannah West. "We felt the urgency to win every point no matter what the score was in the first game. Unfortunately we let our guard down and let East Union get the momentum and couldn't get it back onto our side. East Union battled hard and dug up everything we hit in the last games."
Earlham 3, Nodaway Valley 2
EARLHAM — Nodaway Valley fought back from a 2-1 deficit to win a 29-27 set, but Earlham finished off the victory with a 15-10 triumph to beat the Wolverines in five games Monday night.
Earlham won the first set 25-21, NV countered with a 25-23 win, and Earlham regained the advantage with a 25-22 win.
"The girls have improved and are really starting to play together as a team," coach West said. "We just need to fight all the way through to the finish. We did a great job of mixing up our sets and getting all of our hitters involved. We also had great defensive plays."
Megan McIntosh and Emily Schildberg each had 13 kills for the Wolverines. Josie Carter had 34 setting assists, Katy Ehrsam led the team with 19 digs and McIntosh had five total blocks. At the service line, Rachel Jacobson was 18-21 with four aces, Sidney Hohertz was 20-22 with two aces and Christine Gross was 17-17 with two aces.
Murray 3,
Melcher-Dallas 0
MURRAY — Eleventh-ranked Murray wasted little time in disposing of Melcher-Dallas Tuesday, sweeping the Saints 25-6, 25-12, 25-11.
The Mustangs improved to 4-0 overall and in conference play. Melcher-Dallas fell to 3-1 in the league and 5-2 overall.
"Another well-rounded game for the Lady Mustangs," coach Jerry Shields said. "Our serving is improving a great deal."
Hannah Barber was 21-21 serving with five aces and Chellsea Jones finished 18-19 with five aces. As a team, Murray was 71-73 with 14 aces.
Kate Patton was 45-45 setting with 18 assists. Barber was outstanding in all phases, going 16-18 as a hitter with eight kills, along with a team-high 10 digs and 4-4 i serve receive.
Megan Oswald was 11-13 hitting with six kills, 4-4 serve receive and two blocks. Cheyanne Ashby had seven digs, went 5-6 hitting with three kills and had two blocks.
Murray hosts Orient-Macksburg tonight.
SW Valley 3, Lenox 1
LENOX — Southwest Valley dropped the first set, and then went on to defeat Lenox Tuesday night, 20-25, 25-14, 25-20, 25-19.
"We really struggled in game one with our passing and serve receive, which never allowed us to get any type of offense going," said Southwest Valley coach Lindsay Wetzel. "We struggled with serving, especially when we were down in points and needed to put the ball down. We managed to clean up our game enough to get the win."
Wetzel said Lenox was a scrappy team and never gave up on the ball.
"Their serving also gave our receivers issues throughout the match as well," Wetzel said. "We have some work to do before we play Martensdale-St. Marys on Thursday."
Sydney Maynes led the Timberwolves with 14 kills and Marie Palmer added 13. Mikayla Dolch was 14-16 serving with five aces, and Palmer went 20-22 with four aces. Kelsie Kinman served 11-14 with three aces and had 10 digs. Sierra Sleep had a team-high 11 digs.
"Our defense was no match for some kills that Palmer and Maynes had," said Lenox coach Sara Dukes. "I was very proud of how hard and more consistent our team played."
Katie Duke had eight kills for the Tigers, along with 11 digs and four blocks. Bethany Christensen had six assists and 11 digs. Aurora Arevalo had a team-high 12 digs and three blocks.
At the service line, Christensen was 22-25 with seven aces. Arevalo was 12-12 with three aces, Shantelle Brown was 17-17 with two aces, and Morgan Miller finished 10-11 with one ace.

East Tennessee State (10-9, 2-3) jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning as sophomore right fielder Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.) sent an 0-2 pitch from Eagle starter Brian Harrison over the centerfield fence for his third home run of the season. After surrendering the home run in the first, Harrison settled down, retiring the next 13 batters that he faced, while his offense posted him to a seven run lead. Georgia Southern (8-11, 3-2) struck for a pair of runs in the bottom of first on back-to-back RBI singles by Grant Burruss and Brandon Burnsed. James Payne was hit by a pitch to open the frame before being erased on a Brandon Long fielder's choice. Greg Dowling walked to put men at first and second, setting up Burruss' run-scoring hit down the right field line that drove in Long and moved Dowling to third. Burnsed followed with a blooper to center that plated Dowling for a 2-1 Eagle lead. The Eagles added a run in the bottom of the third inning. Burruss opened the frame with a base hit to left and moved to second on a Burnsed sacrifice bunt. After a Flint Wipke fly out, Mike Economos collected his first hit of the season, a drive to left centerfield, driving in Burruss for a 3-1 Georgia Southern advantage. Georgia Southern upped its lead to 8-1 in the fourth as it took advantage of four walks from East Tennessee State sophomore starter Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.). With one out, Calicutt issued free passes to Payne, Long and Dowling to load the bases. Burruss ground out allowed Payne to score, giving the GSU designated hitter his second RBI of the day. A Burnsed base on balls reloaded the bases and chased Calicutt. Bucs sophomore reliever Caleb Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.) was greeted by a single from Wipke that plated Long and Dowling and moved Burnsed to third, allowing him to score on a double steal. Economos' second run-scoring hit of the day drove in Wipke for the final Eagle run of the inning. East Tennessee State broke through for its second run in the top of the sixth. Senior center fielder Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) singled to open the inning and moved to second on a passed ball. A Matt Traylor (Knoxville, Tenn.) ground out moved Turner to third, allowing him to score on a Byrne sacrifice fly, cutting the Buc deficit to 8-2. The Eagles struck right back in the bottom of the frame as Burruss singled to open the inning and scored on Burnsed's double into the left field corner. An Economos ground out moved Burnsed to third, allowing him to score on Cam Caldwell's bloop single for a 10-2 Georgia Southern advantage. The Bucs added three more runs in the top of the seventh to cut their deficit to five. Sophomore first baseman Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.) opened the inning with a hit to right before being erased on a Josiah Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.) fielder's choice. Junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) followed with a single through the left-side of the infield, putting two men on base for Stephen Douglas (Kennesaw, Ga.), who sent a 1-0 pitch from Harrison over the centerfield fence for his first home run of the season, cutting Georgia Southern's lead to 10-5. Georgia Southern answered with four runs of its own in the bottom of the seventh as Dowling single and scored on Burruss' six home run of the season. Burnsed followed with a walk and moved to second on a wild pitch before scoring on a Wipke double. Economos greeted Bucs' reliever Trevor Smith (Newport, Tenn.) with a double to center, driving in Wipke for a 14-5 Eagle lead. East Tennessee State closed out the scoring in the top of the ninth as freshman outfielder Matt Haynes (Cumberland, Ky.) walked with two outs and scored on Greg Roberts' (Douglas, Ga.) home run to left. Harrison allowed six hits and five runs, four earned, in seven innings of work. The junior right-hander struck out eight and walked none while improving to 2-2 on the season. Burruss led Georgia Southern at the plate, collecting four hits, three runs scored and four runs batted in five plate appearances. Economos was three-of-five with three RBI while Burnsed was two-of-two with three runs scored and two RBI. Douglas led East Tennessee State with two hits and three RBI in three plate appearances while Byrne was one-of-two with two RBI. The two teams return to action Sunday, March 14 at 1:30 p.m. when they conclude the three-game series in J.I. Clements Stadium.

The Medium, the Mystic, and the Physicist: Toward a General Theory of the Paranormal
Helios Press, May 1, 2003 - Body, Mind & Spirit - 299 pages
First published in 1974, this groundbreaking volume relates field theory of altered states of consciousness and compares the surprisingly similar views of mediums, mystics, and physicists.
When renowned psychologist Lawrence LeShan first explored clairvoyance and precognition it shook his belief in everyday reality. As a result, it led him to postulate other states of consciousness, which he calls "Clairvoyant Reality" and "Transpsychic Reality." Although LeShan was trained in the traditional scientific method, he discovered that these altered realities—including the knowledge of future events, the ability to heal from great distances, and other paranormal phenomena—operated according to their own laws.
Filled with mesmerizing case examples, quotations, and observations from LeShan's own personal experience, The Medium, the Mystic, and the Physicist includes LeShan's essay, "Human Survival on Biological Death," where he brings a fresh perspective to the theory of the afterlife. A classic guide for the study of parapsychology, readers will be intrigued by this collection of unique ideas.
• A classic in the field, often thought of as the author's best work
• Author is renowned as a psychologist and a leader in the modern study of mind-body interaction
What people are saying - Write a review
Review: The Medium, the Mystic, and the Physicist: Toward a General Theory of the ParanormalUser Review - Ron - Goodreads
LeShan is doing what he can to bring together in a scientific manner the (quantum)physical, mystical and the "paranormal". He makes a case for on-going study and he shows how the three often describe the world in very similar ways. Read full review
Review: The Medium, the Mystic, and the Physicist: Toward a General Theory of the ParanormalUser Review - James M. Madsen, MD - Goodreads
This book complements LeShan's Alternate Realities (qv) in discussing the nature of several possible definitions or states of reality. It's a great metaphysical ride and far less New Agey than subsequent books on the subject. Read full review

No purchase necessary....print it out. As welder_one said, you'll need your serial number to get the manual for your specific machine. But can also search by model to get the general information on that type machine.

Since the advent of these message boards really getting popular, many come on this & other sites looking for "free" handouts like service manuals. They have no activity or participation on the site other than the request for a free manual or download. You never usually see them again after they get what they want (unless it's to ask for more free stuff). Sorry... Just a pet peeve of mine.
I'm NOT even talking about site regulars who contribute & are always around. There's lots of guys & gals who help each other out every day on these sites behind the scenes.
That's why even tho I have access to the Extranet & all downloadable Miller manuals, I don't advertise it or offer it out to people I do not know. Prolly have every Tom Rick & Harry asking for one if I did
I had to BUY several of mine from Miller for $15 a piece, long before I got on the internet. That's usually what I tell those looking for a freebie.
I'm sure Cruizer will help you out. I would offer (gratis ), being you are the first guy I have ever seen that outright said he was willing to pay for one, but he's prolly already sent them to you. I just saw this today.
Good luck with your project (whatever it may be )So you're telling me...You're not nostalgic? Then, give me another word for it......

I just like to be as self sufficient as possible that's all. I've got 3 Miller machines in my home shop now, and would just like to have the information available to me to be able to diagnose and repair any simple problems that may come up. It would not be a simple task for me to have to try and get any one of these welders out to a repair shop to get it looked at if I had to.
I ONLY buy factory repair manuals, whether it be for a vehicle, appliance or whatever. They are the only source of reliable information in my opinion. I don't mind paying for that information - as long as I am allowed access to it.
If cruizer happens to have that information available that would be awesome. But I have not been able to find anywhere that sells these manuals outright in my on-line searches. So either way I would still be happy just to be ABLE to get the information.
Thank you for the kind words though.

Like Highpwr I have NO qualms about BUYING a manual witness the number of Helms manuals I have and anyone who has purchased them knows a $15 welder manual is low cost! But like him I would love to know where one can both Order one and find a listing of manuals for the various Miller Machines if you are not a registered repair center? Can you order them directly from Miller? Same question re Hobart since they too are part of the same ITW 'family'. Any help-guidance etc in the search for a source for the manuals would be most appreciated.

(4337 quotes found)
"I am among the few who continue to draw after childhood is ended, continuing and perfecting childhood drawing-without the traditional interruption of academic training."
"I maintain that two and two would continue to make four, in spite of the whine of the amateur for three, or the cry of the critic for five."
"By education most have been misled; so they believe, because they were bred. The priest continues where the nurse began, and thus the child imposes on the man."
"The most important aspect of freedom of speech is freedom to learn. All education is a continuous dialogue - questions and answers that pursue every problem on the horizon. That is the essence of academic freedom."
"I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed."
"I'm going to continue doing what I want to do. And if it means I want to go and make a big movie, if it has something to say, I will want to make it. I don't want to spend my life wasting my time. If it's a big movie, I want to do it. If it's a small movie, I want to do it."
"I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added."
"The root causes remain to identify and that will continue to be our focus. We're looking at all of the decisions that led up to this accident."

The following entry provides critical discussion of Machiavelli's writings on political theory.
A Florentine statesman and political theorist, Machiavelli remains one of the most controversial figures of political history. Although his writings address a wide range of political and historical topics, he has come to be identified almost exclusively with his highly controversial manual of state Il principe (1532; The Prince). This straightforward, pragmatic treatise on political conduct and the application of power has, over the centuries, been variously hailed, denounced, and distorted to such an extent that Machiavelli's name has become synonymous with ruthless and unscrupulous political tactics. Seldom has a single work generated such divergent and fierce commentary from such a wide assortment of writers. Commenting on Machiavelli's colorful critical heritage, T. S. Eliot has remarked that "no great man has been so completely misunderstood."
Biographical Information
Machiavelli was born in Florence, in what is present-day Italy, to an established, though not particularly affluent, middle-class family whose members had traditionally filled responsible positions in local government. While little of the author's early life has been documented, it is known that as a boy he learned Latin and that he quickly became an assiduous reader of the classics. Among these, he highly prized his copy of Livy's history of the Roman Republic. Machiavelli's first recorded involvement in the volatile Florentine political scene occurred in 1498, when he joined the political faction that deposed Girolamo Savonarola, then the dominant religious and political figure in Florence. Machiavelli was subsequently appointed to the second chancery of the republic. As chancellor and secretary to the Ten of Liberty and Peace, a sensitive government agency dealing chiefly with warfare and foreign affairs, Machiavelli participated both in domestic politics and in diplomatic missions to foreign governments. These posts afforded him innumerable opportunities over the next fourteen years to closely examine the inner
workings of government and to meet prominent individuals, among them Cesare Borgia, who furnished the young diplomat with the major profile in leadership for The Prince. Machiavelli's political stature and influence increased quickly and by 1502 he was a well-respected assistant to the republican gonfalonier, or head of state, Piero Soderini. In 1512, however, the Florentine political climate changed abruptly when Spanish forces invaded Italy. The Medici—for centuries the rulers of Florence, but exiled since 1494—seized the opportunity to depose Soderini and replace the republican government with their own autocratic regime. Machiavelli was jailed and tortured for his well-known republican sentiments, and finally banished to his country residence in Percussina, where he spent his enforced retirement writing the small body of political writings that insured his literary immortality. Completed between 1513 and 1519, Discorsi … sopra la prima deca di Tito Livio (1531; Discourses on Livy) and The Prince were not published until after Machiavelli's death, though both works circulated in manuscript. Around 1518 he turned from discursive prose to drama. Like the author's other writings, Comedia di Callimaco: E di Lucretia (1518; The Mandrake Root) is firmly predicated on an astute, unsentimental awareness of human nature as flawed and given to self-centeredness. The play was popular with audiences throughout much of Italy for several years. His next effort, a military treatise entitled Libro della arte della guerra (1521; The Art of War), was the only historical or political work published during Machiavelli's lifetime. After several attempts to gain favor with the Medici (including dedicating The Prince to Lorenzo), Machiavelli was appointed official historian of Florence in 1520 and subsequently entrusted with minor governmental duties. His prodigious Historie di Nicolo Machiavegli (1532; The History of Florence) carefully dilutes his republican platform with the Medicean bias expected of him. In 1525 Pope Clement VII recognized his achievement with a monetary stipend. Two years later, the Medici were again ousted, and Machiavelli's hopes for advancement under the revived republic were frustrated, for the new government was suspicious of his ties to the Medici. Disheartened by his country's internal strife, Machiavelli fell gravely ill and died, his dream of an operational republic still unrealized.
Major Works
Commentators have found it ironic that the fiercely republican Machiavelli should have written a handbook advising an autocratic leader how best to acquire and maintain power and security. Machiavelli was acutely aware of foreign threats to Italian autonomy and thus deemed it necessary for a strong prince to thwart French and Spanish hegemony. Hence The Prince, addressed to the ruling Medici. Machiavelli believed that a shrewd head of state, exemplified by Borgia, was essential to sublimating self-interest to common welfare. Since handbooks of conduct meeting monarchal needs had become immensely popular by the 1400s, the external form of The Prince was neither startling nor particularly remarkable to Machiavelli's contemporaries. Yet, from its initial appearance, The Prince proved no mere manual of protocol nor, for that matter, of even conventional strategy. In its chapters, Machiavelli delineated a typology of sovereignties and the deployment of available forces—military, political, or psychological—necessary to acquire and retain them. Many of the ideas contained in The Prince were and continue to be quite shocking. For example, Machiavelli suggested that a prince should not categorically omit murder as an option if it serves his purposes; that a prince only needed to appear virtuous; and that a leader need only keep promises and alliances as long as these served the interests of the state. The Prince is the first political treatise to divorce statecraft from ethics. As Machiavelli wrote: "How one lives is so far removed from how one ought to live that he who abandons what one does for what one ought to do, learns rather his own ruin than his preservation." Adding to his unflinching realism the common Renaissance belief in humanity's capacity for determining its own destiny, Machiavelli posited two fundamentals necessary for effective political leadership: virtu and fortuna. Virtu refers to the prince's own abilities (ideally a combination of force and cunning), and fortuna to the unpredictable influence of fortune, or luck. In a significant departure from previous political thought, the designs of God play no part in Machiavelli's scheme. On issues of leadership hitherto masked by other political theorists in vague diplomatic terms, Machiavelli presented his theses in a direct, candid, and often passionate manner, employing easily grasped metaphors and structuring the whole in an aphoristic that which lends it a compelling authority. For sheer volume and intensity, studies of The Prince have far exceeded those directed at Machiavelli's Discourses, though the latter work has been acknowledged an essential companion piece to the former. All of the author's subsequent studies treating history, political science, and military theory stem from this voluminous dissertation containing the most original thought of Machiavelli. Less flamboyant than The Prince and narrower in its margin for interpretation, the Discourses contains Machiavelli's undisguised admiration for ancient governmental forms, and his most eloquent, thoroughly explicated defense of freedom and republicanism, sentiments which would not have been popular among the many monarchical, absolutist rulers of the Renaissance period. Commentators have noted the presence of a gravity and skillful rhetoric that at times punctuate The Prince but are in full evidence only in that work's final chapter, constituting a memorable exhortation to the Medicis to resist foreign tyranny. The Discourses also presents that methodical extrapolation of political theory from historical documentation which is only intermittent in The Prince. Max Lerner has observed that, "if The Prince is great because it gives us the grammar of power for a government, The Discourses are great because they give us the philosophy of organic unity not in a government but in a state, and the conditions under which alone a culture can survive."
Critical Reception
Reaction to The Prince was initially—but only briefly—favorable; Catherine de Medici is said to have enthusiastically included it among other of Machiavelli's writings in the educational curriculum of her children. But within a short time the book fell into widespread disfavor, becoming viewed as a handbook for atheistic tyranny. The Prince, and Machiavelli's other writings as well, were placed in the Papal Index of Prohibited Books in 1559. Further denigrated toward the close of the sixteenth century in Discours sur les moyens de bien gouverner et maintenir en paix un royause, ou autre principaute. Contre Nicolas Machiavel, florentin, by Innocenzo Gentillet in France, The Prince was held responsible for French political corruption and for widespread contribution to any number of political and moral vices. Gentillet's interpretation of The Prince as advocating statecraft by ruthlessness and amoral duplicity was disseminated throughout Britain through the works of such popular, highly influential dramatists as William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe. In the Prologue to Marlowe's The Jew of Malta (1589?), "Machevil" addresses the audience at length, at one point encapsulating the Elizabethan perception of Machiavelli by saying, "I count religion but a childish toy, / And hold there is no sin but ignorance." Here and in the works of Marlowe's contemporaries, Machiavelli was depicted as an agent of all that Protestant England despised in Catholic, High-Renaissance Italy. Hostile English interpreters so effectively typified Machiavelli as an amalgam of various evils, which they described with the still-used term "Machiavellian," that fact and fabrication still mingle today. Rarely, until the nineteenth century, did mention of The Prince elicit anyting other than unfounded and largely unexamined repugnance, much less encourage objective scrutiny of its actual issues. As Fredi Chiappelli has aptly summarized: "Centuries had to elapse before the distinction between moral moment and political moment, between technical approach and moralistic generalities, and even between the subject matter of the book and the author's person were finally achieved." Modern critics, noting these crucial distinctions, have engaged in a prolonged and animated discussion concerning Machiavelli's intent in The Prince. A seventeenth-century commentator, philosopher Pierre Bayle, found it "strange" that "there are so many people, who believe, that Machiavel teaches princes dangerous politics; for on the contrary princes have taught Machiavel what he has written." Since Bayle's time, further analysis has prompted prolonged and animated discussion relating to Machiavelli's purpose in writing the work. Was the treatise, as Bayle suggested, a faithful representation of princely conduct which might justifiably incriminate its subjects but not its chronicler? Or had Machiavelli, in his manner of presentation, devised the volume as a vehicle for his own commentary? A single conclusion concerning the author's motive has not been drawn, though patterns of conjecture have certainly appeared within Machiavelli's critical heritage. Lord Macaulay, in emphasizing the writer's republican zeal and those privations he suffered in its behalf, has contended that it is "inconceivable that the martyr of freedom should have designedly acted as the apostle of tyranny," and that "the peculiar immorality which has rendered The Prince unpopular … belonged rather to the age than to the man." Others have echoed this suggestion, examining the work in its historical context. Many have urged that Machiavelli intended the treatise as a veiled satiric attack on the methods of Italian tyranny or, by abstruse methods, its converse—a paean to patriotism and sensible government, grounded in a clear-sighted knowledge of the corrupt human condition. While ultimately unable to agree on the underlying purpose of The Prince, nearly all critics have nonetheless been persuaded of its masterful composition, even when unwilling to endorse its precepts. Macaulay has affirmed that the "judicious and candid mind of Machiavelli shows itself in his luminous, manly, and polished language." And Francesco De Sanctis has determined that "where he was quite unconscious of form, he was a master of form. Without looking for Italian prose he found it." A decided influence on the philosophies of Thomas Hobbes and Sir Francis Bacon and on the thought of such modern political theorists as Vilfredo Pareto, Gaetano Mosca, Georges Sorel, and Robert Michels, Machiavelli has been called the founder of empirical political science, primarily on the strength of the Discourses and The Prince. Taken in historical perspective, it is understandable that The Prince should have dwarfed Machiavelli's other works. For with this slim treatise the author confronted the ramifications of power when its procurement and exercise were notably peremptory—not only in his own country but throughout Europe as well. Commentators have come to weigh the integrity of Machiavelli's controversial thought against the pressing political conditions which formed it. Some, like Roberto Ridolfi, have endeavored through their studies to dislodge the long-standing perception of Machiavelli as a ruthless character: "In judging Machiavelli one must… take account of his anguished despair of virtue and his tragic sense of evil…. [On] the basis of sentences taken out of context and of outward appearances he was judged a cold and cynical man, a sneerer at religion and virtue; but in fact there is hardly a page of his writing and certainly no action of life that does not show him to be passionate, generous, ardent and basically religious."

This means it will run for a shorter amount of time and produce less waste water. Well worth the purchase. Does the job By Robert on 10/2/2012 Robert would recommend this product to a friend I have been running this pump for 60+ days now and love it. It runs quite and is very easy to adjust. It easily boosted my 40lbs to 90lbs. I did adjust it back to 85psi. I would buy it again. Works great! By Brian on 9/23/2012 Brian would recommend this product to a friend Very happy with the pump. Went from 35 PSI to 90 PSI. Very easy to install and operate. Great Product By Eric on 9/6/2012 Eric would recommend this product to a friend This is a must have if you plan to upgrade to the 150GPD kit. The unit was a sench to install. Since installing the unit my RO/DI system eff has improved. Very Solid and Works Great By Fernis on 8/23/2012 Fernis would recommend this product to a friend The quality of this pump is evident as soon as you hold it. It is very solid with a bit of weight to it. My pressure went from 45psi to 90psi. Worth it if your RO/DI unit is running on low pressure By William on 8/15/2012 William would recommend this product to a friend My 5 Stage RO/DI unit was running on about 35psi soon as this pump was installed it gave me about 120psi right off the bat. I dialed it down to sit at a steady 75psi and have had absolutely no issues with the pump. Fantastic product. MAKES MAKING RODI FASTER By Tom on 8/12/2012 Tom would recommend this product to a friend I bought this because I am on a well with 35psi, with this booster pump I now have 90 psi. This pump along with the 150gpd upgrade kit I am getting great results. I run it 6-8 hours at a time and it barely gets warm. A bit pricey but works great.. nice little pump By Tony on 8/5/2012 Tony would recommend this product to a friend My system is in a finished basement and I can barely hear it when it kicks on. It does a grat job. I have been using it now for aboput a month overdue By Carlos on 7/22/2012 Carlos would recommend this product to a friend I have three RO systems my main aquarium water system has two 75 GPD membranes that produce a total of 150 GPD. I have good water pressure but I wanted good control. Typical RO systems with mechanical ASO valves are extremely unreliable. With this system using a booster pump and a pressure switch and an added normally closed 24V solenoid make it extremely reliable for my application. The pump is extremely quiet and produces a lot of quality water my TDS before the booster was 7-16 PPM and now it is 5-7 PPM before the DI stage. I fill my 25 gallon container in about 3 hours so I'm actually producing over 150 GPD (200 GPD). I also have a system using a 6800 booster pump and I have to say this pump is a huge improvement. I strongly recommend using a 24v Solenoid if you are using a float switch way over an ASO. Great value great performer the kit really needs to include a solenoid to shut the water to the membrane for that added security. I found that my ASO often turned on after the tank was full wasting water to drain I guess all I can say is an ASO valve is better than nothing. Keeps Production Going By Pet Store George on 7/18/2012 Pet Store George would recommend this product to a friend I have a dog groomer in my pet shop and before I got this pump, my RO production would shut down when the grooming was bathing a dog. With this pump, I can keep producing all day long at a constant rate. This has helped me a lot. What a difference By Jbkilg2 on 7/15/2012 Jbkilg2 would recommend this product to a friend Great addition to boost my ro/di output. Out of the box easy install too! I have low pressure and this quadrupled my water that had been very slow. Great addition By Brandon on 7/14/2012 Brandon would recommend this product to a friend I added this pump to my 150gpd ro and my tds went down and my water production went up.

Risk Assessment
The History of Risk at EPA
- 1970s: EPA was involved with risk assessment practices since EPA's early days, although risk assessment per se was not a formally recognized process then. EPA completed its first risk assessment document in December 1975: Quantitative Risk Assessment for Community Exposure to Vinyl Chloride (Kuzmack and McGaughy, 1975*). The next significant document appeared in 1976: Interim Procedures and Guidelines for Health Risk and Economic Impact Assessments of Suspected Carcinogens (Train, 1976*). The preamble of this document, signed by the Administrator, signaled the Agency's intent that "rigorous assessments of health risk and economic impact will be undertaken as part of the regulatory process." A general framework described a process to be followed in analyzing cancer risks of pesticides, and the document recommended that the health data be analyzed independently of the economic impact analysis.
- 1980s: EPA announced the availability of water quality criteria documents for 64 contaminants (USEPA, 1980*). This was the first application of quantitative procedures developed by EPA to a large number of carcinogens, and the first EPA document describing quantitative procedures used in risk assessment.
Then in 1983, the National Academy of Science (NAS) published Risk Assessment in the Federal Government: Managing the Process (NRC, 1983*; commonly referred to as the "Red Book"). EPA has integrated the principles of risk assessment from this groundbreaking report into its practices to this day. The following year, EPA published Risk Assessment and Management: Framework for Decision Making (USEPA, 1984*), which emphasizes making the risk assessment process transparent, describing the assessment's strengths and weaknesses more fully, and providing plausible alternatives within the assessment. Also in the 80's, EPA releases the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), a database of human health effects that may result from exposure to various substances found in the environment.
- 1990s: Shortly after the publication of the Red Book, EPA began issuing a series of guidelines for conducting risk assessments (e.g., in 1986 for cancer, mutagenicity, chemical mixtures, developmental toxicology, and in 1992 for estimating exposures). Although EPA efforts focused initially on human health risk assessment, the basic model was adapted to ecological risk assessment in the 1990s to deal with risks to plants, animals and whole ecosystems.
Over time, the NAS expanded on its risk assessment principles in a series of subsequent reports, including Pesticides in the Diets of Infants and Children (NRC, 1993*), Science and Judgment in Risk Assessment (NRC, 1994*; also known as the "Blue Book"), and Understanding Risk: Informing Decisions in a Democratic Society (NRC, 1996*). For example, the NAS places equal emphasis on fully characterizing the scope, uncertainties, limitations, and strengths of the assessment and on the social dimensions of interacting with decision makers and other users of the assessment in an iterative, analytic-deliberative process. The purpose of this process is to ensure that the assessments meet the intended objectives and are understandable. EPA risk assessment practices have evolved over time along with this progression of thought, and in many cases helped drive the evolution of thinking on risk assessment.
In 1995, EPA updated and issued the current Agency-wide Risk Characterization Policy (USEPA, 1995a*). The Policy calls for all risk assessments performed at EPA to include a risk characterization to ensure that the risk assessment process is transparent; it also emphasizes that risk assessments be clear, reasonable, and consistent with other risk assessments of similar scope prepared by programs across the Agency. Effective risk characterization is achieved through transparency in the risk assessment process and clarity, consistency, and reasonableness of the risk assessment product — TCCR. EPA's Risk Characterization Handbook (USEPA, 2000a*) was developed to implement the Risk Characterization Policy.
The Congressional/Presidential Commission on Risk Assessment and Risk Management (CRARM) was created by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and formed in 1994. Its mandate was to make a full investigation of the policy implications and appropriate uses of risk assessment and risk management in regulatory programs, under various federal laws, designed to prevent cancer and other chronic health effects that may result from exposure to hazardous substances. More specifically, its mandate was to provide guidance on how to deal with residual emissions from Section 112 hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) after technology-based controls have been placed on stationary sources of air pollutants. In 1997, the Commission published its report in two volumes (CRARM, 1997a*; CRARM, 1997b*). These discussed the importance of better understanding and quantification of risks, as well as the importance of evaluating strategies to reduce human and ecological risks.
- 2000s: EPA's risk assessment principles and practices build on our own risk assessment guidances and policies — such as the Risk Characterization Policy; Guidance for Cumulative Assessment, Part 1: Planning and Scoping (USEPA, 1997a*); the Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund, or RAGS (USEPA, 1989a*, and subsequent updates); EPA's Information Quality Guidelines (USEPA, 2002a*); and A Summary of General Assessment Factors for Evaluating the Quality of Scientific and Technical Information (USEPA, 2003a*) — as well as the NAS, the CRARM, and others' concepts. It is understood that risk assessment provides important information about the nature, magnitude, and likelihood of possible environmental risks to inform decisions — principles that evolved out of these many efforts.

It is a strong possibility. The question is if Penn State wants him or not. If they do, he will be on the first plane to State College, no question about it. Though Penn State might look at some other options, and like I said in my earlier post Meyer is a strong rumor up here.As for Golden bolting, its certainly a possibility. Everyone pretty much knows PSU was Golden's dream job. i think its funny that you bring up the Miami scandal as a reason for him to bolt to PSU though. Thats rich. They wont have NCAA sanctions but youre kidding yourself if you think this story wont have a major impact on recruiting. What happened there is farrrrrr worse than anything that happened at UM. I rank drinking free booze and banging free escorts far better than an organization wide child molestation scandal.
I brought up the Hurricanes situation because JCane brought it up in the very first post of this thread. Don't believe me, go back and read his post. I agree what went on with Sandusky is way worse than paying players to come to the school. However, the Hurricanes could be punished, Penn State won't. Why? Because the Hurricanes situation involves the football program, the Sandusky situation doesn't involve the football team but a charity on campus. That is where from a football standpoint the Canes are in much bigger doo doo than Penn State. I will repeat again, so you don't accuse me of anything, what Sandusky did was unthinkable and one of the worst things that a person can do. I hope he pays dearly for what he did. Just lets know the facts that this really doesn't involve the football program. The reported incident to Paterno happened years after Sandusky had left the team.
