Because of safety considerations, regulatory agencies (for example, U.S. Department of Transportation) require periodic tests of pressurized vessels used in commercial aviation. (see Section 49, Code of Federal Regulations). AE esting has become accepted as an alternative to the common hydrostatic proof test.
An AE test should not be conducted for a period of one year after a common hydrostatic test. See Note 1.
Note 1—The Kaiser effect relates to the irreversibility of acoustic emission which results in decreased emission during a second pressurization. Common hydrostatic tests use a relatively high test pressure (200 % of normal service pressure). (See Section 49, Code of Federal Regulations.) If an AE test is performed too soon after such a hydrostatic pressurization, the AE results will be insensitive below the previous maximum test pressure.
Acoustic Emission is produced when an increasing stress level in a material causes crack growth in the material or stress related effects in a corroded surface (for example, crack growth in or between metal crystallites or spalling and cracking of oxides and other corrosion products).
While background noise may distort AE data or render it useless, heating the vessels inside an industrial oven is an almost noise free method of pressurization. Further, source location algorithms using over-determined data sets will often allow valid tests in the presence of otherwise interfering noise sources. Background noise should be reduced or controlled but the sudden occurrence of such noise does not necessarily invalidate a test.
1. Scope
1.1 This practice is commonly used for periodic inspection and testing of welded steel gaseous spheres (bottles) is the acoustic emission (AE) method. AE is used in place of hydrostatic volumetric expansion testing. The periodic inspection and testing of bottles by AE testing is achieved without depressurization or contamination as is required for hydrostatic volumetric expansion testing.
1.2 The required test pressurization is achieved by heating the bottle in an industrial oven designed for this purpose. The maximum temperature needed to achieve the AE test pressure is ≤250°F (121°C).
1.3 AE monitoring of the bottle is performed with multiple sensors during the thermal pressurization.
1.4 This practice was developed for periodic inspection and testing of pressure vessels containing Halon (UN 1044), which is commonly used aboard commercial aircraft for fire suppression. In commercial aircraft, these bottles are hermetically sealed by welding in the fill port. Exit ports are opened by explosively activated burst disks. The usage of these pressure vessels in transportation is regulated under US Department of Transportation (DOT), Code of Federal Regulations CFR 49. A DOT special permit authorizes the use of AE testing for periodic inspection and testing in place of volumetric expansion and visual inspection. These bottles are spherical with diameters ranging from 5 to 16 in. (127 to 406 mm).
1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary statements are given in Section 8.

Sharp Mary Birch Launches New Effort To Boost Breastfeeding
Monday, July 16, 2012
Aired 7/16/12 on KPBS News.
San Diego's Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women has been selected to participate in a national program designed to increase breastfeeding rates.
SAN DIEGO San Diego's Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women will take part in a new nationwide effort to promote breastfeeding. The hospital is one of only five in California that's been selected for the program.
The goal of the Best Fed Beginnings program is to boost breastfeeding rates. Participating hospital staff will learn a variety of evidence-based methods aimed at achieving that goal.
Dr. Nancy Wight will help implement the program at Sharp Mary Birch. She said research shows the single biggest barrier to breastfeeding is a lack of support in the hospital.
"And part of that is unnecessary supplementation; mothers who are just not exclusively breastfeeding, but whose babies are given supplementary formula, which kind of leads on a downhill slope to only formula," Wight pointed out.
Wight explained more than 90 percent of women who deliver at Sharp Mary Birch breastfeed their babies, but only about half do so exclusively. She says that number is way too low.

Sounds like Sharp Mary Birch is more concerned about what numbers they can report than supporting a mother's right to choose a feeding method that works for her and her baby. The postpartum experience is overwhelming enough - it should not include pressure from hospital staff to exclusively breastfeed.
LMS | July 16, 2012 at 11:52 a.m. ― 4 years, 8 months ago
@tmm0603: You are correct in stating "the postpartum experience is overwhelming" and breastfeeding can add exponentially to that stress, BUT with support--especially that of a professional who can guide a new mother through the most difficult weeks, days, hours, minutes--mother and baby can benefit for life. I certainly don't approve of shaming, judging or bullying new mothers but I do believe in encouraging, supporting and assisting mothers to breastfeed as much and as long as they can.

Blankets of Gratitude
I took my daughter to the Chili library for story time this morning and ran across a display in the front entrance. It's a fantastic cause and I immediately wanted my fellow Chilites to know about it. Here's what it said…..
Please join us in wrapping our beloved Veterans in love and gratitude!
This winter, many veterans will spend time at the Canandaigua VA hospital, away from the warmth of home, family and friends.
We want them to know that they are remembered, that we are thinking of them and that we are grateful for their past service to out nation. Our goal is to wrap as many of these veterans as we can in handmade afghans, representative of our support and appreciation, called Blankets of Gratitude. The afghans will be a physical reminder that they are not alone. When a veteran receives a Blanket of Gratitude, he or she will know that somebody remembered them, that somebody labored over a handmade afghan with thoughts of them and hopes and prayers for their health and comfort.
A dear friend of the library is part of a wonderful organization called Soldiers' Angels*. Its broad mission is to provide support for active duty and veterans everywhere. Through Soldier's Angels, our friend has learned that the VA hospital in Canandaigua is in need of twin sized comforters or quilts for their long term care clients.
So what can you do to help? Do you crochet? Can you knit?
We are asking for your assistance by making 9″x9″ knitted or crocheted swatches. Machine washable and dryable yarns in bright, patriotic, upbeat, masculine colors are great choices! The library has correctly sized templates for you to use if you need one.
The library will collect swatches through November. Then, at a later date still to be announced, you are invited to come in and help assemble the swatches into twin sized bed blankets. The blankets will be delivered to the Canandaigua VA Hospital.
Even if you do not crotchet or knit, you can help assemble blankets. It's easy and we'll show you how to do it!
Donations of new, store bought twin sized bed comforters in patriotic, masculine colors are also welcome. Please be sure they are machine washable and dryable.
*Soldiers' Angels is a volunteer led, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Please visit www.soldiersangels.org to learn more about this organization and other ways you can get involved and help.

Deck Bags?

I bought Patagonia's Stormfront backpack. Ever the deal finder, I bought one on sale on the Patagonia website for $110. My bro and I even made a little pocket cash selling some of the packs on eBay with a slight positive margin.
It is pricey but I am planning on using it as a flats pack (it holds a hydration bladder (sold separately) and as a deck bag for my kayak. I plan on outfitting the chest/sternum strap with a holder for a fly box so that I can minimize the need to get stuff out of the pack.
When I fish I always wade too deeply and get all of the junk in my William Joseph bandolier wet. With the waterproof Patagonia pack I can dip it in the water and the stuff in the bag will not get wet. Therefore I will not have to worry about corrosion on all of the stuff in the bag. I am trying to minimize the amount of rinsing and clean up after a saltwater outing. Soak the bag in water after use, rinse it, and I am done.
The pack will also make a great deck bag given proper rigging on the deck of my yak. So, it is a 2 for 1 pack in my world - that is how I justified the price.
The waterproof zipper is a wee bit tough to open and close and I will keep you posted as to how it holds up over time.

BERKELEY — Researchers are blaming a small group of motorists for the San Francisco Bay Area's freeway traffic headaches.
A study by the University of California, Berkeley, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology shows drivers from a few outlying neighborhoods travel long distances together in the same direction like schools of fish.
That results in traffic jam on area freeways.
The San Jose Mercury News (http://bit.ly/TZtWZJ ) says more than 350,000 motorists were tracked for three weeks using cellphone and GPS signals.
The California Department of Transportation and local transportation officials are examining the data and they plan to incorporate such measures as additional metering lights to spread out the traffic flow.

The current snack: Delicious Party
Click below to see what we thought!
dvinson: Snap into Delicious Party! I really wanted Randy "Macho Man" Savage to leap out of this vacuum-sealed package when I opened it, but alas all I got were delicious little sausages. *sigh* This might be a delicious party, but you might as well call it a dream deferred.
frankmeyer: Now, tiny sausages I can handle! I guess I'm just very familiar with the concept.
sjohnson: They look like Slim Jims, but taste like semen.
mdalonzo: Little sausages that might just be the most average snack on Planet Earth. Still, with all of the other f-ed up s**t you're likely to have in your mouth when it comes to being in the Far East, this might just be the snack that provides balance to the Force.

January 25, 2013 - Press releases
Montreal, Québec, January 25, 2013 – Boralex Inc. ("Boralex"), Gaz Métro Limited partnership ("Gaz Métro") and Valener Inc. ("Valener") are delighted that the Québec Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment, Wildlife and Parks has issued the environmental authorization for the Seigneurie de Beaupré – 4 wind farm, a project with an installed capacity of 68 MW located in the Côte-de-Beaupré region.
"Receiving this authorization demonstrates, once again, the quality of the Seigneurie de Beaupré wind power site, as well as our commitment to developing the project in a respectful manner that addresses the concerns of the community which has welcomed us," noted Patrick Lemaire, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boralex, and Sophie Brochu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gaz Métro. "In fact, after the BAPE environmental approval hearings, the consortium took into account the issues raised by stakeholders and will keep them front and centre as the project is being built."
With the environmental approval stage now behind them, the developers can move ahead with the applications for construction permits and arranging financing with financial institutions.
The Seigneurie de Beaupré wind farms are divided into two phases: a first 272 MW phase that will start up by late 2013 and a second 68 MW phase, for which construction will start as soon as possible now that the authorization has been received from the Ministry. Located on land owned by the Séminaire de Québec, 15 km north of St-Tite-des-caps and 60 km northeast of Quebec City, these projects will generate enough electricity to supply more than 60,000 households.
For more information, please visit the Seigneurie de Beaupré wind farms site at: www.seigneuriedebeaupre.com.
About the Seigneurie de Beaupré Wind Farms
The Seigneurie de Beaupré Wind Farms, with a total contracted capacity of 365 MW, are as of today the largest wind power project in development in Canada. The first phase of 272 MW (Farms 2 & 3), which is expected to start up in late 2013, and the second phase of 68 MW (Farm 4), which is expected to start operating in late 2014, represent the projects of the Boralex and Gaz Métro/Valener consortium. In addition, the 25 MW Côte-de-Beaupré wind farm built by Boralex in partnership with the Côte-de-Beaupré RCM is expected to start up in 2015.
About Boralex
Boralex is a power producer whose core business is dedicated to the development and the operation of renewable energy power stations. Currently, the Corporation operates an asset base with an installed capacity of almost 500 MW in Canada, the Northeastern United States and France. Boralex is also committed under power development projects, both independently and with Canadian and European partners, to add approximately 550 MW of power that will be put in service between 2013 and 2015. With more than 200 employees, Boralex is known for its diversified expertise and in-depth experience in four power generation types — wind, hydroelectric, thermal and solar. Boralex's shares and convertible debentures are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbols BLX and BLX.DB, respectively.

A young Carver woman missing nearly one week was found safe and sound over the weekend.
24-year-old Amy Eastman vanished after she was released from University of Massachusetts Medical Center last Monday.
Police say she was located unharmed around 6:15 ;p.m. Saturday.
Still a mystery is what happened to her, and where she was all that time.

Apparently the WBC may be at it again:
If the WBC shows up on this, they are even more stupid than I think they are.
The WBC makes its money suing people that take a swing at them, or for that matter even say something actionable about them.
I do double-dog dare them to picket the funeral of an Army or Marine sniper though. I would bet his buddies would be pissed.
That would be fun to see.... something like the shooter on the knoll....
There's stuff out there that will kill at 2000+ yards in the hands of a good sniper. (A mile is 1760 yards, and a kilometer is 1093+ yards.)
I really wouldn't want to piss these guys off calling their fallen comrade deserving of going to hell just because god hates fags. But hey if WBC wants to try it I won't stand in their way.
I should rephrase this, it takes a superlative sniper (not a "merely" good one) for these sorts of ranges. But half a mile (880 yards) is readily doable and a quarter mile is child's play. (Note that the top records are all held by Limeys and Canucks, you have to get down to 4th place to get a Yank.)
Like I said I won't stand in WBC's way and I certainly wouldn't want to be between them and the righteously pissed-off sniper.
Never piss off a sniper - ya gotta sleep sometime --
Maybe they're all true! I can't imagine what has gone on in the lives of these people to make this ok. I guess I can imagine indoctrination and brainwashing of younger/newer members, but how did it get started, I wonder? What disturbs a mind so much?
I know they bother me so much because they are successful at what they do. They breed anger, hatred, and more awareness of themselves and their vitriolic messages. Turning the other cheek to these cretins, and depriving them of the attention they seek, is so very difficult.
Uusually when I mention Westboro Baptist Church I will say "Westboro Baptist Church ("God hates fags")" or something like that; it instantly reminds people that these are the clowns who picket army funerals. Their website is "godhatesfags" dot com (I refuse to create a link to it and bump up their numbers) so they won't mind the monicker, not that I care what they mind or don't mind.
When I heard they were coming to the reason rally, I realized that Topeka, Kansastan was on my route to the rally (I took a road trip) and I had mental images of passing a van with "Westboro Baptist Church" painted on the side and me getting in front of them and opening my sunroof and waving HI to them with one finger. Didn't happen though.
If I were going to be the subject of a lawsuit by the WBC, believe me I would get a lot of satisfaction before hand.
Wow... harsh words about Bostonians. I would think that any way they respond to someone spreading hate at a time like this would be appropriate. I have never been to Boston, but I'm Irish so I know how Irishmen can be. I think if WBC does attempt to picket, they will be met with anger and resistance like never before. First amendment rights or not, the people of Boston are in a very touchy state right now.... I'd like to think that there would be a peaceful resolution, but I can't say how I would honestly react to something like that after one of my loved ones were murdered...

My mom and I were sitting together and all of a sudden she asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" My lips began to quiver in spur of the moment and all enigmatic and vague theories started baffling my mind. What am I interested in? What am I destined to be? What my future life would be like? Had I said more, my dumbstruck face conveyed the unspoken dilemma. Sooner or later, we all encounter this situation when our inner self makes us wonder "What is it I'm interested in?"
We sometimes envy people pursuing their dream career, as we're still wondering what we want to be when we grow up. And in a flash, we find ourselves all grown up. Why it becomes so difficult to know what you like? Why true career aspirations seem so farfetched? A quick observation helps us zero in on two major factors: the social environment we live in and a discouraging community that surrounds us, unzipping the mysterious explanation.
You may start by questioning yourself; do I strive to help or to be recognized? Do I want to be creative or to be enforced? What's better, security or spontaneity? Shall I be knowledgeable or a control freak? Renowned or unknown, secure or reckless, we are who we are and an acceptance of same within our social environment is the need of the hour. Creating an environment that acknowledges your deep insights helps you overcome your confusions. Such social acceptances sway your farfetched aspirations towards reality and impel you to make your passion, your profession.
Ani DiFranco once said "I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort, where we overlap." When laughed at by friends on wanting to follow your dream, how do you respond?. One may latch onto plethora of excuses for not following his/her dreams. To create your own vision or letting someone else do that for you, it's a question that you need to address within yourself. Always remember: Success is the best revenge. Though strength lies in differences, an encouraging community renders the process of shaping your journey of resolving the enigma, a comfortable one.
But one thing is certain that in pursuit of your chosen path you will have to face many difficulties which will test your commitment to your dream. In an interview with online magazine, David Horvath, Co-creator of the globally successful Uglydoll brand, says, "Many months on my sister's floor in the early days, and skipping meals sometimes when things got serious at the start. But that stuff is always thrown in to test how dedicated you are. I always say if someone from the future travels back in time to tell you your lifelong dream will fail 100%, and you still go for it anyway, it will work."
What are you going to do in life? Life poses this question to everybody at some stage of life. How do you answer it depends on the courage you show while facing your inner-self as well as your social environment consisting of your near and dear ones and detractors. Guard your interests and live a joyful dream life.

MCHS coach setting middle school players with volleyball skills
Girls starting and continuing middle school this year got a look at how volleyball is played at the high school level. Moffat County High School volleyball coach Sandy Camilletti is hosting a camp for seventh and eighth-graders, which began Tuesday and will finish Thursday. The camp is focusing on individual skills and teaching girls to play volleyball the proper way, Camilletti said. "They get this three day camp where they learn how to do it well. (Today has) been slow because we're trying to progressively teach the skills," she said. "I really feel like its important to get reps, and make them good reps. Bad reps do nothing for you. That's why I try to go pretty slow and go through each small detail."

Archived Recording Now Available
The second webcast in the 2013 National Webcast series was held on April 4th with a featured presentation on Bring Your Own Risk: Protecting Confidential Information on Mobile Devices
Over 900 individuals representing 7 countries, 50 states, DC, and 1 U.S. territory registered for this event. Opening remarks were provided by Mr. Michael Aliperti, Senior Director of Programs at the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center, followed by Mr. Robert Myles, State, Local Government and Education National Practice Manager at Symantec.
The number of employees using personal mobile devices to access work-related data, including confidential information, is increasing.
In fact, the cross pollination of organization and personal data has become so pervasive that many organizations are fast-tracking security protocols for preventing data loss, combatting malware, and building sandboxes for untrusted data. But implementing untested security policies can be dangerous. What organizations need today are proven best practices that safely and securely address the inevitable rise of unmanaged mobile device use cases.
This webcast explored the most reliable, replicable strategies (from both the public and private sectors) for securing and managing user-owned mobile devices. The broadcast discussed tried-and-tested techniques for minimizing risk while maximizing business agility and employee productivity.
Format of Webcast:
This session featured an interactive Powerpoint presentation accompanied by audio.

12 Career-Change Blunders
Page 3 of 3
9- Lack of polish on your resume
The resume is the gateway to a new career. Dust it off and spruce it up before you send it out to the world. So many people forget how powerful a statement a bad resume can make. A poor or incomplete resume will doom your chance of employment. Point blank. In addition to a good polish, our advice before a career change is to devise a functional resume, based on skill set and experience.10- A shortage of contacts
The occasional cold call may net a good result, but for the most part you need a solid network to expedite a drastic career change. Plan ahead and ask around before you make a move. Be shameless and bold about it. This is the nature of business and people understand your need to push for a phone number or name in order to make your career dream happen.11- "Mouse happy"
The internet is a phenomenal tool to find a job but at the same time, it is a false comfort. Use it and exploit it, but do not rely on it. Again, like a placement agency, there is a limit to what the web can do for you. Pound the pavement and work the telephone. Old-school can be the most effective system to make that career move.12- Lack of poise
The problem here is a question of confidence and interpersonal polish. When you thrust your neck out into the job market again and embark on a new career no less, you need to develop brass — brass balls. Drive forward with full force and confidencethat you can make it happen. Project a powerful persona and image in order to have an impact. This is the attitude of a winner. This is the attitude of someone about to start a new career.clear the danger ahead
As you begin to divest your current job from your life and take a shot at a new profession, remember the potential danger ahead. Take heed of the 12 classic mistakes people make and your search will lead to a better career.

Burned is the story of Pattyn, a teenage girl who lives in a primarily Mormon community in Nevada. Her family adheres to a strict version of Mormonism in which the men are dominant and the women subservient.
Pattyn is one of six female siblings, each named after a male military figure. Her dad is constantly battling demons. With his first wife, he had two sons. One was killed in the military and the other was gay, so he was disowned. These circumstances so hurt his first wife that she killed herself, and now, remarried with so many new children, Pattyn's dad blames himself and drowns his guilt in liquor. This leads to the continued abuse of Pattyn's mom.
Pattyn begins to struggle with her own identity her junior year of high school. She knows what is going on at home is wrong, but when she tries to reach out for help, she finds the religious community defends her father. She's named a liar by her bishop when she speaks about the abuse in hypotheticals, and Pattyn (unknowingly) begins to search for outlets to get away from her home life.
She meets a boy from her school one afternoon when she's out in the woods to get away from the house, and they begin a romance that consists mainly of drinking and sexual exploration (though no actual intercourse). When her family finds out, she's considered a problem child and is sent away to live with her aunt for the summer, supposedly as punishment.
Pattyn's aunt Jeanette is her father's sister. She, too, was raised in a strict, overbearing Mormon household and knows all too well the deadly lengths her brother will go to keep undesirable males away from good Mormon women. Aunt Jeanette has long since abandoned the church and lives on a ranch in Nevada, a wild and liberating environment that Pattyn comes to love and thrive in.
While at the ranch, Pattyn meets Ethan, a college student who is home for the summer to help is dad. He lives up the road and immediately captures Pattyn's attention. All summer long, they kindle their romance which gives Pattyn strength and joy she has never known. Aware that going back home is the equivalent to being sent back to prison, Aunt Jeanette and Ethan arm Pattyn with some tools to gain some freedom from her father: a cell phone that Aunt Jeanette is paying for, pre-arranged calls with Ethan and a handgun from Ethan.
I asked a friend of mine who is a member of The Church of Latter Day Saints whether this type of culture was prevalent throughout the church. She had lived in Utah for a while, had been extremely involved in many sectors of the church and even did some mission work. What she told me was that the LDS does not advocate violence in any way, especially against women. In fact, she said that there are systems in place to prevent domestic violence and resources to which women can turn if they are being abused.
So is this a realistic portrait? I think so, as with any religious or political system, there are always interpretations of original doctrine that are more extreme than others. Just look at the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints, which still practices polygamy. Though this is not addressed in Burned, American subcultures that adhere to Old World paradigms of male domination are a reality in today's society. My friend's interpretation of the families portrayed in this story was that this seemed to be a closed culture that justified itself by bastardizing the teachings of the church. I tend to agree.
I think that novels like this are important for teenage girls to read. Violence perpetrated against young women is prevalent, yet is not discussed very often. So when it comes from a family member, a friend or even a love interest, many girls don't know what to do. Hopkins' story at least shows that there are people to whom victims of violence can turn and that they are not alone in their experience.
This book was also very interesting to read because the whole story is written in verse; not so much poetry, as you have very little rhyme scheme or symbolism to translate, but each chapter is written in stanzas and verse formats. Some are even concrete poems, where the shape adds to the understanding of what's going on in that section of the story.
While I wouldn't say that this is a book for adults, as well as teens, it is a great read for anyone who likes the young adult genre. I also think it's a must-read for any teenage girl.

Historic re-election pattern doesn't favor Democrats in 2016
It's not too soon to start talking about the next presidential inauguration in 2017, and why the historical re-election trends favor the Republicans.
Maybe Hillary Clinton, the current very-early front-runner for the Democratic nomination, can break the struggles that Democrats have had trying to win a presidential election after its candidate (or his legal successor) won two prior elections.
That's only happened twice since 1828 for the Democrats, when the modern two-party era started in earnest. In 1836, the Democratic Vice President Martin Van Buren succeeded Andrew Jackson by defeating four Whig candidates, while President Franklin D. Roosevelt succeeded himself in 1940 by running for an unprecedented third term.
The Democrats have failed in four of their last five attempts to win three consecutive terms in office after taking two elections with the same candidate (or his legal successor), with just President Roosevelt winning in 1940 under very unusual circumstances.
The failed Democratic candidates include James Cox (1920), Adlai Stevenson (1952), Hubert Humphrey (1968), and Al Gore (2000). That puts the batting average for the Democrats at .333.
The Republicans have fared better than their opponents when it comes to extending control over the presidency after the same president (or his legal successor) won two straight elections.
Among the GOP candidates who were able to win that vital third election in a row for their party were Ulysses S. Grant (1868), Rutherford B. Hayes (1876), Theodore Roosevelt (1904), and George H.W. Bush (1988).
Republican candidates who lost in similar circumstances were Richard Nixon (1960), Gerald Ford (1976), and John McCain (2008).
Even with four defeats, the Republicans were batting .571 when it came to winning a third election, after the same president (or his legal successor) won two elections in a row.
But the more immediate trend is that in seven of the last nine elections, voters have decided to switch the party controlling the White House when a candidate (or his successor) had won two prior elections.
Part of the trend could date back to the FDR era, when Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, both Democrats, held office for a combined 20 years.
The 22nd Amendment, which limits a president to two terms or 10 years in office, came as a direct consequence to that era.
The distrust of people in power also dates back to the age of the American Revolution and the mistrust of hereditary rulers with no curbs on their powers.
Recent Constitution Daily Stories
Senate deal puts the Jimmy Stewart filibuster on ice Fascinating facts about Senate filibusters Washington state ponders next moves in marijuana standoff
The Republicans have controlled the White House for 20 consecutive years twice, but not since 1913, when President William Howard Taft left office.
If there was one period of pure political party domination, it was the first era of political parties before 1828. One party dominated the White House for 28 years, until President Jackson broke through with the newly created Democratic Party.
The Federalists and what historians now call the Democratic-Republican Party were rivals in 1796, when John Adams won the presidency over Thomas Jefferson. The Democratic-Republicans won the next five elections, and James Monroe ran mostly unopposed in 1820 for a sixth win. That led to a constitutional crisis in 1824, when four candidates from the same party ran against each other in a bitter race.
When Jackson lost the election in the House of Representatives to John Quincy Adams, our current two-party system was born as the future president broke away to form a new party. The Whig party appeared in the 1830s to battle the Democrats and was followed by the Republicans in the 1850s.

PGX Wedge
The PGX wedge is the perfect addition to complete your PGX set. Available in 3 lofts, it gives you options to suit your needs.
The 52* can be used out of the fairway or around the green. It provides you the ability to hit lower lofted chips which will generate more roll.
The 56* wedge is commonly used as the SW. However, some players prefer to chip with it giving you more loft which will generate less roll. It also is used regularly out of green side bunkers.
The 60* is the hardest of the 3 wedges to hit. It can be used around the green to chip with helping generate the most spin. It does take practice to chip with this but can be a valuable tool to score once you master the 60* wedge.
All the wedges features a wide sole at the bottom of the club head which narrows towards the toe to provide a more forgiving hitting surface. Add a PGX Wedge to your set now and start improving your game today!
- All wedges built with steel shaft at 35.75″

Write a ReviewKen rated this product on 08/10/13 I love it. I quickly swapped out my old wedge for this baby. It is very forgiving and easy to hit. Mine came with the standard pinemeadow grip and I like it. This was my first purchase from pinemeadow to try them out. I definitely think I am going to buy a whole new set from them in the off season. Did I mention that I had a 10yd chip in with this wedge first time out? Love it

I created a "Giantbombing" clan for fun.
That is the link to the clan page. Join up if you want. This isn' t a serious clan just a way for fellow GB members to find each other on Elite if you would so want to. I've been using the [Bomb] clan tag in game too. I hope you join up and see you on the battlefield. =)
There is a community thread already. See http://www.giantbomb.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3/61-35129/official-gb-modern-warfare-3-community-thread/35-523474/#62.
@Branthog: There's nothing wrong with the term clan. I just means a group that shares some kind of bond be it religious, ideological or biological. What other word would work better? Just because the Klan bogarted the word doesn't mean it's negative as long as you spell it properly.
Jeff made a clan already, giantbomb, join it or else.
There's nothing wrong with the words "snigger" or "niggling" or "niggardly", either, but I avoid them because they have shitty connotations with them (kind of like the word "lynching" does, too). And . . . really . . . clan is a strange word for us to be using these days. Not because of any connotations, but just because it's not otherwise used often in modern times (except in the negative examples I mentioned).@Branthog: There's nothing wrong with the term clan. I just means a group that shares some kind of bond be it religious, ideological or biological. What other word would work better? Just because the Klan bogarted the word doesn't mean it's negative as long as you spell it properly.
In fairness, I'm picking and choosing when proper language makes me uncomfortable, too. There are other words that I would defend the use of, because there is nothing wrong with the words or their use, despite other people's improper connotations. My particular nit-pick with "clan" is just that I never understood why of all the possible words we chose the most awkward sounding one for gaming.
I've always wondered how we even arrived at the choice of this word in gaming, long ago. There are so many more sensible alternatives that are more appropriate for what a gaming "clan" represents. For example - TEAM. You know, as in a group of people playing competitively on the same side. They don't have basketball clans, afterall. Or . . . maybe they should. That might be kind of cool.
Anyway, alternatives?: team, group, guild, gang, club, squad, order. Probably plenty of others I'm not thinking of at the moment.
Also, has everyone also added the "giantbomb" group tag to themselves in COD Elite? There were only about sixteen people when I added it to myself last week. I'm not entirely sure what the point of the group tag is, yet, but . . . it's there.
@Branthog: I'm sure you can find a negative usage of almost any word if you look hard enough. It's clan, not Klan. The KKK uses crosses, should Christianity change its iconography? Should I stop calling marijuana pot because Pol Pot massacred thousands? Should I stop stalling because Stalin was a dick?
Also, I'm not sure why gaming settled on the using clan but I'd be interested in knowing.

It seemed like a virtual repeat of Game 1, only worse. The Flames came out flying and more desperate than the Blackhawks, and came up with the early lead, only to blow it and drop a heartbreaking 3-2 final. It was an even worse finish than Game 1, and now the Flames find themselves in a hole that they have not once been able to come back from in franchise history.
Much like Game 1, the Flames had more jump than the Hawks to start. Jarome Iginla, after being virtually invisible in Game 1, came out and showed some of his old dominance. The Flames finally converted on the powerplay to take a 1-0 lead – just like most Flames powerplay goals, they got lucky; Nikolai Khabibulin bobbling the puck off a point shot allowed Iginla to stuff it in. The Flames even finally got some good luck to go up 2-0. It seemed like the Flames' night until the second period hit. The Flames lost their legs in the second period and never really recovered from Jonathan Toews making it 2-1 less than a minute into the second. The Hawks just seemed to want it more, and outplayed the Flames in every important aspect. Whatever first time playoff jitters the Hawks had is probably entirely gone now. Once again, the Flames squandered their opportunity, and blew what I considered a must win game. Now they go home with a series deficit they have never been able to come back from in the history of their franchise. From a practical standpoint, though, the Hawks speed advantage is really showing right now. The Flames just have not been able to match the Hawks' crisp passes, swift attack and well-oiled machine of an offense. The loss of Robyn Regehr is proving every bit as crucial as anticipated. I have to give credit where credit is due here to Toews and the Hawks. Toews is showing why he will be one of THE players in the next decade or more right now. He is showing every bit the kind of captaincy that the Flames used to be able to rely on from Jarome Iginla and are lacking right now. His game winner with less than a minute left in the second could well prove to be the turning point in this series. And it's not only the young forwards that are helping Chicago get to a 2-0 lead. Duncan Keith, who I consider the most disgustingly underrated defenseman in the league, is shutting down Iginla as well as anyone. The Hawks third and fourth line agitators are also doing an excellent job of getting in the Flames' heads. On the other end, Eric Nystrom is the only one on the Flames' fourth line doing anything worthwhile right now. For all the domination Khabibulin is displaying right now, Miikka Kiprusoff is displaying an equal amount of mediocrity. The first goal he allowed in Game 1 was an inexcusably soft goal that killed the Flames' momentum. Toews' game winning goal may have been an atrocious defensive breakdown by the Flames – Toews broke through three defenders to the rebound unmolested – but it was also a terrible rebound by Kiprusoff. Kipper is looking worse than he did in last year's playoffs, when his bad goaltending cost the Flames Game 7. The two games so far have had a common theme for the Flames that pretty well summarizes their season – blown opportunity. The Flames head home down 2-0, a deficit they have never been able to come back from in franchise history. I managed to talk myself into thinking the Flames had some chance before the series, but I'm not sure how much longer I can keep it up. If the Flames manage to win the next two at home to tie it I might be cautiously optimistic, but right now this team looks just as mediocre as every other first round exit team they have had post-lockout. –Alex Hamilton (The one thing the Flames have going for them is this. Kipper almost single handedly stole two games at home in 2007 to tie their first round series with Detroit, and the Flames were much more woefully overmatched in that series than in this one. They were even a David Moss hit crossbar away from going to Game 7. So I'm not going to say it's impossible).

I really, really, REALLY don't mean to be a jerk or laugh at you or the Pirates or anything, but you said something very similar to that last year.The Pittsburgh Pirates. This is the year they end the streak, and Andrew McCutchen becomes a superstar.

First page of this thread. Did the Pirates actually do something that makes you believe they'll play better, or are you simply hoping for the home team?

In this world nothing is certain but death and...fees?
Doug e-mails to express his confusion:
While I have lived in Minnesota for several years (and happily so) I was born and raised in the Ozark Hills. Way back there in that backwards area of this great country we had a name for people who do the kind of things Pawlenty is doing with his "health impact fee". We called it lying. I am certain that I have to be missing something here. I mean after all, didn't Tim sign a pledge not to raise taxes? Wait, never mind, this is not a tax it is a "health impact fee" Do you happen to remember a former President that made a very memorable statement when he said, under oath, "Depends on what the meaning of is is."
Minnesota is my adopted home. Having traveled the entire United States, I picked Minnesota as the most desirable place to live. The lakes, the summers and even the winters attracted me. I do however find it sad that "Minnesota Nice" seems to mean that you tax, sorry fee, the poorest of Minnesotans into an even worse position. This group of people has made the choice to smoke, a very community oriented choice and a great sacrifice which should be honored. The choice they have made to smoke means they will die early and as a result not become a burden on our great society. This group of people happens to also be the group most likely to require taxpayer support in later life. They, on the whole, have no savings and no assets to speak of and in order to help reduce the potential burden they pose to Minnesota taxpayers, they smoke. They realize that by smoking they are supporting the state. Smoking means they will die early and reduce the impact they will have on the hard working people of Minnesota. How do we, the state of Minnesota nice, reward them? We tax, sorry fee, them to death. While the sacrifice that poor smokers make for Minnesota make may not rise to the level of the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, it does much to decrease the burden on the taxpayers of Minnesota.
As a person that has, by choice, made Minnesota my home it saddens me that we could elect a "Republican" governor who, with a very straight face, could defend such a obvious example of political double speak repeatedly. As for Hugh, I always thought he was a conservative. Sorry Hugh for not understanding you. You are a true citizen of "the state where nothing is allowed."
In the interest of full discloser I am not a smoker. I do eat at McDonalds however and I can see the day when my Big Mac's will have some special tax, sorry I keep using that word I really meant fee. As we all know a fee is not the same as a tax.
After writing this I have to ask for your help. I graduated from college, and in fact had a fairly good GPA, but I can't understand the difference between a tax and a fee. I really need your help here, I know there is a difference because the governor says there is but I can't seem to comprehend it. I am feeling so stupid right now and I don't know where to turn. I am sincerely hoping you can explain the difference between a tax and a fee. As I said earlier I am just a dumb hillbilly and as a result I need help understanding this. I am sure it is an easy thing to explain because when I saw Tim Pawlenty talking about it and he smiled the smile of someone that was looking down on me, he made it obvious that there was something about this whole thing I just don't understand.
I am sure you will answer me. I am from such a backwards area of the US that I am having a really hard time with this. We were so simple that we thought that when the government took money out of your pocket it was called a tax but then again we were just dumb hillbillies.

(The following article makes a good followup to my post, "Hebrew History": https://rabbielimallon.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/1-2-12-hebrew-history/)
by Gustavo D. Perednik [1]
Of the 6,000 extant languages, half will disappear in less than a century; half of the world population speaks 10 languages alone. Gaging a language's importance according to how many native speakers it numbers would place Hebrew at number 70, yet its influence is much broader.
Of the almost 300 languages that have Wikipedias, Hebrew is among the top 30. With more than 100,000 entries, it is considered the second best in the quantity and quality of its articles, and has the highest number of bytes per article among the top Wikipedias. The Hebrew version is used daily by almost 40 percent of the population of our country, one of the highest percentages in the world.
Cyberspace aside, Hebrew's presence is felt in most languages, which include dozens of words like amen, hallelujah, jubilee and sabbatical, and more than 100 everyday sayings and phrases such as "broken heart," "drop in the bucket," "nest of vipers," "breath of life," "flesh and blood," and "a voice crying in the wilderness." Adages like "A leopard cannot change its spots," "A soft answer turns away wrath," "My brother's keeper," and "Eat, drink and be merry" are all of Hebrew lineage. [2]
More interestingly, the influx of Hebrew semantics is indirect. For instance, the Greek word kirios used to mean just "chief," but after it was used in the translation of the Hebrew Bible it started to bear the meaning of a universal dominium. Linguist Antoine Meillet explained in 1928 that from Greek to Latin, and hence to all the European languages, "Without Hebrew, many common words and phrases would… have quite another meaning."
A third way to appreciate Hebrew's influence is to trace the origins of the alphabet. William Chomsky [3] showed how the Phoenicians, Semites close to the old Hebrews, disseminated the Hebrew-type alphabet among the Greeks, and the 22 letters, before Ezra the Scribe adopted our present block Hebrew writing, were ultimately adopted in most European languages.
Traveling west, the Phoenician sailors were impressed by the Greeks' accomplishments – which did not include reading and writing. Therefore they facilitated aleph, bet and gimmel to become alpha, beta and gamma.
EVEN MORE than in words and alphabets, Hebrew's influence stems from the ideas and narrative that penetrated Western civilization, or what Thomas Cahill sums up as "most of our best words: new, adventure, surprise; unique individual, person, vocation; time, history, future; freedom, progress, spirit; faith, hope, justice… individual destiny, morality, inter-generational accomplishment, personal repentance…. We can hardly get up in the morning or cross the street without being Jewish. We dream Jewish dreams and hope Jewish hopes."
The national book of the Jews has indeed become a sacred text for mankind, the first and most widely published and translated into no less than 1,850 languages (no other book has been translated into even 250 languages.) Since words are cultural storehouses, to speak Hebrew today is like traveling several millennia to the past. Certainly one of Israel's unparalleled successes is that a Jewish child can read with relative ease texts over a thousand years old.
Since the 16th century Hebrew learning increased, as an inherent part of classical studies. Even Columbus' interpreter, Luis de Torres, knew Hebrew well, as did the Renaissance scholars, and major poets like William Blake. It became prominent in Puritan England, especially in John Milton's days.
The eccentric religion of Anglo-Israelism went so far as imagining the Hebraic roots of English, explaining the term "Brit-ish" as "man of the Covenant." Their French competitor in creative imaginary, the poet Guy de la Boderie traced the word "Gallia" (the original France) to the Hebrew for "waves," and the name of the French capital to the Hebrew for "man's glory – pe'er ish."
The Hebrew impetus arrived in America, where the first published book was Psalms, in 1640, and where Governor William Bradford (one of the Mayflower's pilgrims) was a devout Hebrew learner.
John Cotton established Hebrew in the educational curricula, and when the first North American university, Harvard, was founded in 1636, Hebrew was compulsory for all. The inauguration speech of every academic year during two centuries was read there in Hebrew, until the year 1817.
A Hebrew teacher, Ezra Stiles, was the first president of Yale University, whose emblem is still in Hebrew, a language so admired by early Americans that William Gifford argued in his Quarterly Review that some members of the Congress wanted it to become the national language rather than English.
During its meteoric Jewish revival during the past two centuries, the Hebrew language had to overcome several other rival languages. In 1880 Lazar Ludwig Zamenhof foresaw his Esperanto becoming not only an international language but also the language of the Jews; in 1908 the Congress of Czernowitz proclaimed Yiddish as "the Jewish national language;" in 1913 teachers at the newly-opened Technion battled over which language should be used for instruction in the new university – Hebrew or German. They called it the "Battle of languages."
Hebrew won every battle, and in 1921 was recognized as official language of Palestine, spreading rapidly and giving birth to new, thriving literature.
Nowadays, strengthening its status as a classical language abroad will not only promote its appreciation but also the recognition of Israel's unique contribution to culture. Last and not least, it will also build bridges between the reborn Hebrew nation in its land and mankind as a whole.
Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs should include among its aims abroad, through our many cultural attachés, promoting the inclusion of Hebrew as a classical language in the Humanities studies as part of the educational curricula of Europe [note: as well as the U.S. and elsewhere].
European [note: and American] classical studies refer to the literary languages of the Mediterranean world in Classical Antiquity; therefore there is no reason to limit these languages to Greek and Latin alone.
If high schools and colleges abroad were to enable the study of Hebrew within their Humanities curriculum, foreign youth would have the opportunity to be aware of Jewish history, so often distorted by a hostile media.
As a side effect, Hebrew will also be more valued within the framework of Jewish education, where our language is not always of high priority.
