Because Christmas brings out the "humanists" and avowed atheists to tell Christians that their beliefs are "myths" contrary to reason, it is worthwhile in this season (as in all others!) to consider the relation of faith and reason, and of the two together with political life. Michael Gerson and Peter Wehner's City of Man: Religion and Politics in a New Era is a breezy tour of the subject, intended for conservative evangelical Christians who wonder how to make an impact in public life without compromising the demands of faith. More depth is plumbed by Francis J. Beckwith in Politics for Christians: Statecraft as Soulcraft, aimed at college students who want to live their faith and study politics with a view to making a difference in the public arena without surrendering to "secular liberalism." Notable in both books, considering that Gerson and Wehner are evangelical Protestants and Beckwith a former evangelical Protestant who returned to the Catholicism of his youth, is the stress on natural-law categories of thought as the way to advance the claims of both faith and reason in the public square.
Excellent accounts of the American founders' thoughts on such questions can be found in two books on the First Amendment. Vincent Phillip Muñoz's God and the Founders: Madison, Washington, and Jefferson (which I reviewed in the Summer 2010 CRB) is a superb treatment of the views of those three leading Virginians on the interaction of religious faith with republican constitutionalism. And Donald L. Drakeman's Church, State, and Original Intent is the best book yet published on the original meaning of the First Amendment's establishment clause, and sheds considerable light on how we came to such a distorted understanding of it on the modern Supreme Court.
Speaking of the Constitution's original meaning and the Supreme Court's assault on it, I welcome the appearance of Gary L. McDowell's The Language of Law and the Foundations of American Constitutionalism, a profound contribution to the defense of originalism in constitutional interpretation, as well as a trenchant critique of modern jurists and scholars who have blazed trails into fetid swamps of ant-constitutional mire.
The political book of the season is George W. Bush's Decision Points, a memoir of his presidency organized topically rather than chronologically. Bush had his critics on the Right as well as the Left, and history will be a long while sorting out the events of his turbulent eight years. But what shines through this book is Bush's essential decency and thoughtfulness, and an admirable ability to reflect humbly on his own frailties and missteps.
Chance and a well-stocked bookstore brought me to Mark Stein's How the States Got Their Shapes, published a couple of years ago. This book is a delight for anyone with an interest in the details of historical geography. Why is the northern boundary of Delaware a perfect arc drawn with a compass? How come Missouri has that bootheel? Principles, interests, and accidents went into making the fifty states' shapes: international negotiations, interstate conflicts, congressional bargaining, plus rivers, mountain ranges, longitudes and latitudes. Fascinating fun for geography nerds—and if you aren't one, Stein might make you one.
Finally, in the category of pure pleasure, readers of P.G. Wodehouse's inimitable oeuvre should know that Overlook Press is producing handsome hardcover collector's editions of all the master's books. A majority are out already, and a steady stream keeps coming. Still haven't found a copy of A Prefect's Uncle? Now it can be yours!

Yalta, 1945: Europe and America at the Crossroads, by Fraser J. Harbutt
Yalta: The Price of Peace, by S. M. Plokhy
These two volumes provide exemplary perspective on perhaps the most controversial American diplomatic meeting of the 20th century. Harbutt leads us into the conference with a meticulous account of British foreign policy in World War II and the way in which it placed Winston Churchill at cross purposes with both Joseph Stalin and Franklin Roosevelt. Plokhy painstakingly examines the meeting itself with reference to both atmospherics and hard policy issues. He concludes that the "concessions" given to Stalin were the Soviet dictator's to take anyway and that all three principals left feeling they had achieved their purposes. Churchill emerges as the leader with the clearest-eyed view of the future, possessing a frame of reference composed of equal parts of traditional conservatism and essential liberalism.
Theodore Roosevelt, the Progressive Party, and the Transformation of American Democracy, by Sidney M. Milkis
Edmund Morris's Colonel Roosevelt will doubtless garner literary accolades, awards, and lucrative royalties. Milkis will provide sustenance for those who want to go beyond a well-crafted narrative to a thoughtful analysis of T.R.'s views on "progressive democracy" and what it has to say to us today. This book rightly takes Roosevelt seriously as a political thinker with a coherent worldview.
Freedom's Main Line: The Journey of Reconciliation and the Freedom Rides, by Derek Charles Catsam
Catsam's stirring account of the Freedom Rides takes us to the origins of the civil rights movement, eloquently depicting activists who took great risks for principle and in the process helped create a more just America. It may also leave us wondering how the civil rights movement progressed from the sublime leadership of the Fellowship of Reconciliation and Martin Luther King to Al Sharpton.
Bringing the Market Back In: The Political Revitalization of Market Liberalism, by John Kelley
Published in 1997, this 270-page volume remains an excellent introduction to the origins of the libertarian conservatism emerging as a major force within the contemporary Republican party. Ron Paul receives his due; Rand was not yet in anyone's viewfinder. The author is sympathetic to his subject and scrupulously fair in developing it. A dozen years ago, he could pronounce that the movement had a pulse. Today, it resembles a bull moose.
The Age of Roosevelt (3 vols.), by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Fifty years later, this unfinished three-volume work remains an essential treatment of its subject. Schlesinger's spin is relentless, but his history is nonetheless exceptional. Surveying the early New Deal, warts and all, he proclaims a triumph of democracy while admitting flaws in conceptualization and execution that somehow get lost in the final evaluation. It is a bit much to compare, as some have, The Age of Roosevelt to Henry Adams's History of the United States During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson and History of the United States During the Administrations of James Madison. Schlesinger lacked Adams's relentless sense of irony. Still, the overall excellence of these three volumes leads one to lament the lost second half of his life as the court historian of the Kennedys and a secondary figure in the celebrity culture of New York.
The Hawk and the Dove: Paul Nitze, George Kennan, and the History of the Cold War, by Nicholas Thompson
This accessible account of the personal friendship and professional rivalry between George F. Kennan and Paul Nitze provides easy and enjoyable reading—perhaps a bit too easy, for the author (a grandson of Nitze) is primarily interested in introducing his characters to a wide reading audience. Intriguingly, Mr. Thompson seems to come down more on the side of Kennan than Gramps, but he tells us enough about the latter to reveal an intriguing character in need of fuller exploration.

A Privilege to Die: Inside Hezbollah's Legions and their Endless War Against Israel, by Thanassis Cambanis
Hezbollah chieftain Hassan Nasrallah said that he hopes all the Jews from around the world will gather in Israel so they might be more easily obliterated. That prompted fears that Hezbollah, which survived Israel's onslaught in a way no Arab army ever has, was planning a Second Holocaust, while its patron, Iran, denied the first. That seems terrifying enough, but it is its appeal to ordinary Lebanese that makes such hatred all the more chilling. Offering members a messianic welfare state that ministers to their souls as well as their need for affordable medical care and the destruction of Israel has been good politics, enticing Muslims as far afield as America. Described as a state within a state, Hezbollah has, rather, sprung up from the remnants of a failed state—and its zeal won't remain contained within its borders for long. Can it be contained? Perhaps, but so long as it exists in its followers' blackened hearts, it is still a threat.
Hitch-22: A Memoir, by Christopher Hitchens
Death be not proud, but Christopher Hitchens, diagnosed with terminal esophageal cancer, may have the last word on himself. Hitch-22, published before he knew of his impending demise, opens with a discussion of reading his own obituary, which was published in error but not without cause. Though he channels Monty Python's famous "Not dead yet" triumphantly as he journeys from one combat spot to another, it seems that America's most famous atheist has a guardian angel—and a generous liver. Critics have accused him, perhaps fairly, of name-dropping, but 'Hitch' has known so many people that he would be doing the reader a disservice by not sharing some of his funnier anecdotes, like the time he was spanked by Margaret Thatcher, in full view of witnesses. The best anecdotes, though, aren't about Margaret Thatcher or tinpot dictators, or even funny at all. They are the touching sort that a man tells about his family. His father, a sailor in Her Majesty's Royal Navy, is justly celebrated for helping to send a Nazi raider to the ocean floor. Post-war, he is aptly described as "Tory without anything to be Tory about." Hitchens takes great care chronicling his mother's life, and her ultimate suicide. Clandestinely Jewish and every bit as vivacious as his father was Anglican and austere. Hitch's warm feelings for her make for emotional, but rewarding, reading. There isn't a hint of melodrama. His parents' was a war marriage, and was not to last. But Hitchens's memoir will last even if he will not.
Hamlet's Blackberry: A Practical Philosophy for Building a Good Life in the Digital Age, by William Powers
Fittingly the author of a book about our distracted age, Will(iam) Powers is a professional author-turned-cultural critic. I say fittingly because it seems will power is in short supply as the latest gizmo—iPhone!, blackberry!, Google!, and Facebook!—impede us from the connections that give life real texture as the "screens" in our lives vie for our attention with their incessant beeps and vibrations. The best ancients and moderns you won't be surprised to know wrestled with their own technological transformations. Powers happily dusts off his "seven sages of the screen": Plato, Seneca, Gutenberg, Shakespeare, Ben Franklin, Thoreau...and Marshall McLuhan. Each teaches valuable lessons in how to manage our time and our souls. Despite what you may hear from Silicon Valley, the world hasn't really been made anew. Hamlet carried his own tablet, his own blackberry, after all. Powers, who takes the weekend off from digital communications in an "internet Sabbath," has inspired me to disconnect my home from the internet. No mean feat, that, at least initially. But one full of meaning now that the electric leash doesn't chafe.
The Housing Boom and Bust, by Thomas Sowell
Economist Thomas Sowell authors a book a week, or so it seems with the prodigious now-octogenarian(!). In a packed 192 pages, he chronicles how liberal Democrats, well-meaning compassionate conservatives, and the Federal Reserve's policy of low-interest rates helped bring about one of the greatest wealth-destroying policies of our time, all to help create more low-income home-dwellers at the expense of the rest of America. The NINJA (no income no job or assets) loans have slashed our home market and it looks likely never to recover. That would be bad enough, but it turns out that the so-called affordable housing crisis was brought on by restrictive local zoning policy. By deliberately constraining the supply of land to build upon, local governments all but guaranteed that the federal government would eventually swoop in to help those who couldn't pay their housing costs. All of this wheeling and dealing makes us wonder what would have happened if we just followed Dr. Sowell's current prescription: a constitutional amendment to limit the government's reach into housing markets? Eh, tea party?
While America Aged: How Pension Debts Ruined General Motors, Stopped the NYC Subways, Bankrupted San Diego, and Loom as the Next Financial Crisis, by Roger Lowenstein
If a page worth of history is worth a volume full of logic, perhaps it is also worth thousands of pages in financial regulations. Roger Lowenstein showed before the Obama stimulus and TARP that a coming politics of austerity will require difficult choices and that those choices aren't impossible. Indeed, as with our nation's first financier, Alexander Hamilton, it falls to this generation to design good pension policy from "reflection and choice." Let's hope we get it right before the next crisis.
The Bluest State: How Democrats Created the Massachusetts Blueprint for American Political Disaster, by Jon Keller
The "Scott Heard 'Round the World" hasn't quite reverberated past the January 2010 special election. Jon Keller is a rare independent thinker on one of Greater Boston's local television stations. In this book, he's trained his eyes on self-dealing, self-serving Bay State baby boomer pols who have made the state of Adams, Coolidge, and JFK unaffordable and illiberal. One-party rule gets the scorn it deserves, but Keller ought to have looked also at the "me-too" Republicanism that, like the recently defeated gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker, tries to beat the most liberal candidates by running at them from their left (with a self-styled gay "progressive Republican" life-time politician as his running mate). MBA candidates have seemingly managed the party into perpetual decline. Alas, if the politics of Obamcare meet the policies of RomneyCare in 2012, Keller might have to write a new foreword. Republicans across the country might cringe if they hear in an Obama-Romney debate: "Everything I learned about health care I learned from you, Mitt." Coming to a presidential race near you? Let's hope not.
The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That is Connecting the World, by David Kirkpatrick
The Facebook Effect is the true story on which the hit film The Social Network was based. Or as true as we're likely to get. The film's fictional Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook to get girls. The real Mark Zuckerberg has been with the same girl from long before he started Facebook. That pretty much sums up the movie's accuracy. What are far more interesting are his internal motivations and thoughts that David Kirkpatrick, long-time Fortune writer, brings to the fore. How did a company no one had heard of grow to 500 million profiles? True enough, the real Zuckerberg has some of the immoderation that characterizes those to whom success has come too quickly. He is after all, a 26-year-old self-made billionaire. His business cards boast that he was "CEO... b-tch!" But now that Facebook has grown from dorm room project to Silicon Valley would-be blue chip, the flip-flop wearing Harvard drop out dons a tie, as he pursues, in the words of The Simpsons's spoof, the only degree that matters—honorary, connecting the world one friend request at a time.

3D SpaceMouse available for solution.
by DE Editors | Published November 19, 2012
FARO Technologies announced SCENE 5.1, the latest update to its software for the FARO Focus3D Laser Scanner. New features like Clipping Box and improved scan positioning help streamline data and cut processing time in half, the company says. Orthophoto functionality allows users to save scans as photo files to view and share scan data even without point cloud software. Among the new features found in SCENE 5.1, Clipping Box helps users streamline data analysis by keeping only the parts of scans that are relevant to the project. Scan data is presented in either point cloud or realistic photo view. Users choose those portions of the scan they need, and the remaining parts are automatically removed. A reduced file size makes storage or export to CAD faster. To reduce work time, SCENE 5.1 offers feature recognition capabilities that position and assemble individual scans quickly, even when there are no registration marks or pre-defined targets. The result is an up to 50% reduction in processing time and a more precise finished product, the company says. SCENE 5.1 also includes the ability to save orthophotos in a TIFF format, so scans can be viewed even if the user's CAD software is unable to interpret point cloud data. In partnership with 3DConnexion, FARO has also made available the new 3D SpaceMouse. Specially designed for scanning applications, the SpaceMouse enables quick manipulation of three-dimensional data, scans and much more. For more information, visit FARO.

Yeah, but I haven't been there in a long time. It's called Pitfire Pizza. I remember going to it not too long after they opened and was happy with their pasta bolognase (sp?) but I've never had their pizza.
Here's their yelp listing:
Pitfire Pizza Company - North Hollywood - North Hollywood, CA
Bummer, no mention of DiFara in Brooklyn. Best pizza I've ever had. Nobody except this one old man Dom touches the pizza. A lot of the ingredients are imported from Italy and the cheese isn't grated until it's being put on the pizza. Basil is grown right outside and goes straight onto the pie with a dash of olive oil. I've never had a plain cheese pizza with flavor like this in my life.
I also hear Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix is one of the best but according to people I know who have been, you have to be ready to wait four hours to get your pie.

Title: | Head Coach |
Phone: | 603-535-2768 |
Email: | firstname.lastname@example.com |
Barbara Rawlsky-Willett is now in her tenth season as head coach of the Plymouth State women's tennis program in 2013. The Panthers have been solid Little East Conference contenders under Coach Rawlsky-Willett, winning LEC Tournament titles in 2004 and 2006 and the regular season crown in 2005.
Coach Rawlsky-Willett, who took over at PSU in 2004 after one season as an assistant, was also the girls' tennis coach at Plymouth Regional High School for 29 years until her retirement in 2012. She was inducted in the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) Coaches Hall of Fame in 2010.
Rawlsky-Willett led the Panthers to the first LEC Championship in the program's history in 2004. The Panthers finished runner-up at the LEC Tournament a year later, and came back in 2006 with its second LEC Tournament title in three years. PSU made its only NCAA Tournament appearance in the spring of 2007 after winning the LEC title in the fall of 2006.
PSU has had four players earn post-season honors the past three years, including Second Team All-Conference selections each year and the LEC Rookie of the Year in 2009. In addition, several Panther tennis players received major PSU student-athlete awards in recent years for academic success, community service and leadership.

Welcome to Down A Country Road Amish Gift Shops and Tour Service.
At Down a Country Road, deep in the heart of scenic south west Wisconsin, you'll find a unique and very special treasure. The village of gift shops owned by Chuck and Kathy Kuderer, 2 miles east of Cashton along State Hwy. 33 will warm your heart and inspire you as you meander through each of 5 gift shops on the Kuderer's rural farm.
The Amish began settling in the Cashton area in 1966 and have rapidly grown in population in the midst of modern life. Today the Cashton area is home to the largest Amish community in Wisconsin. Chuck and Kathy Kuderer (non Amish) were just small children when the Amish began moving into the area. After many years of establishing friendships with the Amish, the Kuderer's began working with them in 1994 to provide a place for the Amish to sell their handcrafted treasures. After the Amish built the first gift shop, approximately 45 Amish families began bringing their wares to sell. That one little gift shop eventually became 5 and each has it's own unique personality.
As you browse The Amish Shop, The Little Red Shed with it's country crafts and gifts, Memories from Amish Country or Emma's Kitchen, there will be wonderful treasures around each corner. From hand-crafted furniture, quilts, rugs, baskets, wall hangings to home made candies, jams and jellies, maple syrup and much, much more you will not be disappointed in your visit. The gift shops are set in a village like setting, connected with a brick pathway and beautifully landscaped grounds. A visit to the gift shops would not be complete without a stop at Country Corner Ice Cream Shops where you will find delicious treats. Enjoy a hand dipped ice cream cone, sundae, a root beer float or other treat as you sit in the gazebo and gaze out at the small pond and beautiful gardens.
A very limited number of these tours are available each season by reservation. You can contact Kathy or Down A Country Road by calling 608-654-5318 ir email at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the Kuderer's website at downacountryroad.com.

Joule–Thomson effect
- Throttling process redirects here. For the regulation of computing resources, see throttling process (computing).
In thermodynamics, the Joule–Thomson effect or Joule–Kelvin effect or Kelvin–Joule effect or Joule–Thomson expansion describes the temperature change of a gas or liquid when it is forced through a valve or porous plug while kept insulated so that no heat is exchanged with the environment.[1][2][3] This procedure is called a throttling process or Joule–Thomson process.[4] At room temperature, all gases except hydrogen, helium and neon cool upon expansion by the Joule–Thomson process.[5][6]
The effect is named after James Prescott Joule and William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, who discovered it in 1852 following earlier work by Joule on Joule expansion, in which a gas undergoes free expansion in a vacuum.
In the Joule experiment, the gas expands in a vacuum and the temperature drop of the system is zero, if the gas is ideal.
The throttling process is of the highest technical importance. It is at the heart of thermal machines such as refrigerators, air conditioners, heat pumps, and liquefiers.[7] Furthermore, throttling is a fundamentally irreversible process. The throttling due to the flow resistance in supply lines, heat exchangers, regenerators, and other components of (thermal) machines is a source of losses that limits the performance.
The adiabatic (no heat exchanged) expansion of a gas may be carried out in a number of ways. The change in temperature experienced by the gas during expansion depends not only on the initial and final pressure, but also on the manner in which the expansion is carried out.
- If the expansion process is reversible, meaning that the gas is in thermodynamic equilibrium at all times, it is called an isentropic expansion. In this scenario, the gas does positive work during the expansion, and its temperature decreases.
- In a free expansion, on the other hand, the gas does no work and absorbs no heat, so the internal energy is conserved. Expanded in this manner, the temperature of an ideal gas would remain constant, but the temperature of a real gas may either increase or decrease, depending on the initial temperature and pressure.
- The method of expansion discussed in this article, in which a gas or liquid at pressure P1 flows into a region of lower pressure P2 via a valve or porous plug under steady state conditions and without change in kinetic energy, is called the Joule–Thomson process. During this process, enthalpy remains unchanged (see a proof below).
A throttling process proceeds along a constant-enthalpy line in the direction of decreasing pressure, which means that the process occurs from right to left on a T-P diagram. As we proceed along a constant-enthalpy line from high enough pressures the temperature increases, until the inversion temperature. After this, as the fluid continues its expansion, the temperature drops. If we do this for several constant enthalpies and join the inversion points a line called the inversion line is obtained. This line intersects the T-axis at some temperature, named the maximum inversion temperature. For hydrogen this temperature is -68°C. In Vapour-compression refrigeration we need to throttle the gas and cool it at the same time. This poses a problem for substances whose maximum inversion temperature is well below room temperature. Thus hydrogen must be cooled below its inversion temperature if any cooling is achieved by throttling.[8]
Thermodynamic Interpretation of the experiment:
If we consider that certain amount of gas has passed through the porous plug then the pressure and temperature on the left side of the porous plug are P1 and T1 and a certain volume of V1.
On the right a similar amount of the gas will be at a pressure of P2, the temperature T2 and will occupy a volume V2.
As the gas is compressed the work done on the gas is P1V1 and the resultant work done by the gas during this expansion is P2V2. This gives a relation for work done as W = P2V2 - P1V1
Physical mechanism[edit]
As a gas expands, the average distance between molecules grows. Because of intermolecular attractive forces (see Van der Waals force), expansion causes an increase in the potential energy of the gas. If no external work is extracted in the process and no heat is transferred, the total energy of the gas remains the same because of the conservation of energy. The increase in potential energy thus implies a decrease in kinetic energy and therefore in temperature.
A second mechanism has the opposite effect. During gas molecule collisions, kinetic energy is temporarily converted into potential energy. As the average intermolecular distance increases, there is a drop in the number of collisions per time unit, which causes a decrease in average potential energy. Again, total energy is conserved, so this leads to an increase in kinetic energy (temperature). Below the Joule–Thomson inversion temperature, the former effect (work done internally against intermolecular attractive forces) dominates, and free expansion causes a decrease in temperature. Above the inversion temperature, gas molecules move faster and so collide more often, and the latter effect (reduced collisions causing a decrease in the average potential energy) dominates: Joule–Thomson expansion causes a temperature increase.
The Joule–Thomson (Kelvin) coefficient[edit]
The rate of change of temperature with respect to pressure in a Joule–Thomson process (that is, at constant enthalpy ) is the Joule–Thomson (Kelvin) coefficient . This coefficient can be expressed in terms of the gas's volume , its heat capacity at constant pressure , and its coefficient of thermal expansion as:[1][3][9]
See the Derivation of the Joule–Thomson (Kelvin) coefficient below for the proof of this relation. The value of is typically expressed in °C/bar (SI units: K/Pa) and depends on the type of gas and on the temperature and pressure of the gas before expansion. Its pressure dependence is usually only a few percent for pressures up to 100 bar.
All real gases have an inversion point at which the value of changes sign. The temperature of this point, the Joule–Thomson inversion temperature, depends on the pressure of the gas before expansion.
In a gas expansion the pressure decreases, so the sign of is negative by definition. With that in mind, the following table explains when the Joule–Thomson effect cools or warms a real gas:
If the gas temperature is | then is | since is | thus must be | so the gas |
below the inversion temperature | positive | always negative | negative | cools |
above the inversion temperature | negative | always negative | positive | warms |
Helium and hydrogen are two gases whose Joule–Thomson inversion temperatures at a pressure of one atmosphere are very low (e.g., about 51 K (−222 °C) for helium). Thus, helium and hydrogen warm up when expanded at constant enthalpy at typical room temperatures. On the other hand nitrogen and oxygen, the two most abundant gases in air, have inversion temperatures of 621 K (348 °C) and 764 K (491 °C) respectively: these gases can be cooled from room temperature by the Joule–Thomson effect.[1]
For an ideal gas, is always equal to zero: ideal gases neither warm nor cool upon being expanded at constant enthalpy.
In practice, the Joule–Thomson effect is achieved by allowing the gas to expand through a throttling device (usually a valve) which must be very well insulated to prevent any heat transfer to or from the gas. No external work is extracted from the gas during the expansion (the gas must not be expanded through a turbine, for example).
The effect is applied in the Linde technique as a standard process in the petrochemical industry, where the cooling effect is used to liquefy gases, and also in many cryogenic applications (e.g. for the production of liquid oxygen, nitrogen, and argon). Only when the Joule–Thomson coefficient for the given gas at the given temperature is greater than zero can the gas be liquefied at that temperature by the Linde cycle. In other words, a gas must be below its inversion temperature to be liquefied by the Linde cycle. For this reason, simple Linde cycle liquefiers cannot normally be used to liquefy helium, hydrogen, or neon.
Proof that the specific enthalpy remains constant[edit]
In thermodynamics so-called "specific" quantities are quantities per kilogram and are denoted by lower-case characters. So h, u, and v are the enthalpy, internal energy, and volume per kilogram, respectively. In a Joule–Thomson process the specific enthalpy h remains constant.[10] To prove this, the first step is to compute the net work done when a mass m of the gas moves through the plug. This amount of gas has a volume of V1 = m v1 in the region at pressure P1 (region 1) and a volume V2 = m v2 when in the region at pressure P2 (region 2). Then the work done on the gas by the rest of the gas in region 1 is = m P1v1. In region 2 the amount of work done by the gas is m P2v2. So, the total work done by the gas is
The change in internal energy plus the work done by the gas is, by the first law of thermodynamics, the total amount of heat absorbed by the gas (here it is assumed that there is no change in bulk kinetic energy). In the Joule–Thomson process the gas is insulated, so no heat is absorbed. This means that
where u1 and u2 denote the specific internal energies of the gas in regions 1 and 2, respectively. Using the definition of the specific enthalpy h = u + Pv, the above equation implies that
where h1 and h2 denote the specific enthalpies of the gas in regions 1 and 2, respectively.
Throttling in the Ts diagram[edit]
A very convenient way to get a quantitative understanding of the throttling process is by using diagrams. There are many types of diagrams (hT, hP, etc.). Commonly used are the so-called Ts-diagrams. Fig.2 is the Ts-diagram of nitrogen as an example.[11] In Fig.2 various points are indicated as follows:
- a T = 300 K, p = 200 bar, s = 5.16 kJ/(kgK), h = 430 kJ/kg;
- b T = 270 K, p = 1 bar, s = 6.79 kJ/(kgK), h = 430 kJ/kg;
- c T = 133 K, p = 200 bar, s = 3.75 kJ/(kgK), h = 150 kJ/kg;
- d T = 77.2 K, p = 1 bar, s = 4.40 kJ/(kgK), h = 150 kJ/kg;
- e T = 77.2 K, p = 1 bar, s = 2.83 kJ/(kgK), h = 28 kJ/kg (saturated liquid at 1 bar);
- f T = 77.2 K, p = 1 bar, s = 5.41 kJ/(kgK), h =230 kJ/kg (saturated gas at 1 bar);
As shown before, throttling keeps h constant. E.g. throttling from 200 bar and 300 K (point a in Fig.2) follows the isenthalp (line of constant specific enthalpy) of 430 kJ/kg. At 1 bar it results in point b which has a temperature of 270 K. So throttling from 200 to 1 bar gives a cooling from room temperature to below the freezing point of water. Throttling from 200 bar and an initial temperature of 133 K (point c in Fig.2) to 1 bar results in point d, which is in the two-phase region of nitrogen at a temperature of 72.2 K. Since the enthalpy is an extensive parameter the enthalpy in d (hd) is equal to the enthalpy in e (he) multiplied with the liquid fraction in d (xd) plus the enthalpy in f (hf) multiplied with the gas fraction in d (1-xd). So
With numbers: 150 = xd 28 + (1 - xd) 230 so xd is about 0.40. This means that the mass fraction of the liquid in the liquid-gas mixture leaving the throttling valve is 40%.
Derivation of the Joule–Thomson (Kelvin) coefficient[edit]
In this Section a derivation of the formula
for the Joule–Thomson (Kelvin) coefficient is given.
The partial derivative of T with respect to P at constant H can be computed by expressing the differential of the enthalpy, dH, in terms of dT and dP, and solving for the ratio of dT and dP with dH = 0. The differential of the enthalpy is given by:
Here, S is the entropy of the gas. Expressing dS in terms of dT and dP gives:
(see Specific heat capacity) we can write:
The remaining partial derivative of S can be expressed in terms of the coefficient of thermal expansion via a Maxwell relation as follows. The differential of the Gibbs energy is given by:
The symmetry of partial derivatives of G with respect to T and P implies that:
where α is the cubic coefficient of thermal expansion. Using this relation dH can be expressed as
Solving for by equating dH to zero gives:
The cooling of a gas by pure isentropic expansion (a reversible adiabatic process where work, done by gas-expansion, causes it to cool) is not Joule-Thomson cooling.
Joule's second law[edit]
It is easy to verify that for an ideal gas αT = 1, so the temperature change of an ideal gas at a Joule–Thomson expansion is zero. This implies that the internal energy of the ideal gas depends only on its temperature (not pressure or volume), a result known as Joule's second law.

CheezLand Uke Band
CLUB Organization
Would You Like to
Learn to Play the Ukulele?
If so, the Cheez Land Uke Band is for you. We're glad you found us. We are a group of people with a passion for playing and learning to play the ukulele. We meet each week to play, sing and help each other improve. Some of the more experienced players even perform for others. Take a look at the "Performances" page to see a few of the club's performances.
Did you know...that the sale of ukuleles is growing faster than any other musical instrument in the industry? It's true. In fact, it's been true for the last ten years. Why? It's fun. It's easy to learn. It's easy to play. It's small. It's portable. It's inexpensive. It's social. It makes people smile. It's used to play ALL kinds of music. Are you ready to get started? Let's go!
Do I Need a Uke to Begin?
No. Not to attend your first meeting. There are a limited number of "loaner" ukuleles available for you to use if you do not own one. If you enjoy your experience and want to attend more, you'll want to buy a ukulele.
Send an email message to firstname.lastname@example.com if you plan to attend a meeting but do not have a uke.
We'll make sure there is an extra uke at the meeting for you to use.
Ukuleles come in 4 sizes. From smallest to largest the sizes are called soprano, concert, tenor and Baritone. Before you buy a ukulele, try out a couple of different sizes at our meetings. We'll help you decide which size fits you best. This is especially important if you've never played or purchased a musical instrument in the past.
Where Do You Meet?
We now meet at the Food Court in Valley View Mall! The address is 3800 US Highway 16, La Crosse, WI 54601. The Food Court is at the end of the Mall closest to Sears.
When Do You Meet?
We meet every Wednesday from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
Is There a Cost?
Yes, but it's minimal. We ask all players to donate $3 at each meeting to help cover the uke club's ongoing expenses for music equipment and instrument acquisitions, music and form copying, URL registration, bookkeeping and accounting costs to maintain the club's non-profit status, website maintenance and various other costs.
Questions? We'd Be Happy to Help!

Hang tight!
Recipe by MARBALET
"This is a very easy bread to make. Monkey bread also has been called Bubble Bread and Pull Apart Bread."
Watch video tips and tricks
24 ounces frozen dinner roll dough
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant butterscotch pudding mix
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup melted butter
I think my brother-in-law would refuse to celebrate Christmas if I didn't bring this for Christmas morning! He always asks me "are you going to bring that cinnamon thing?" I have found that I have more success making this in a tall sided 9x13 pan than in a tube pan. For some reason when in a bundt pan I can't get the center completely cooked. One secret I have discovered to getting the center done without overcooking the edges is to cover the pan with foil after 15 minutes of cooking. It comes out perfectly that way. I let my rolls thaw enough to cut each of them into 3 or 4 pieces before assembly so I get a better distribution of cinnamon mixture throughout the dough. I also discovered that it works better to use non-instant pudding and combine it with the sugar and melted butter in a saucepan then sprinkle each layer of rolls with cinnamon and pour the sugar/pudding/butter mixture over the top. I think this is really at its best when served warm or on the same day it is baked.
I must have goofed! I was so excited to try this recipe and the dough was very dry. Next time I may try using the biscuits in the tube not the frozen kind.
195 Ratings
Excellent. Like a previous reviewer, I didn't think it was going to work because the mixture looks so dry but I'm a believer now! I found this to be very gooey and delicious. I cut each roll into 4 pieces with kitchen shears which allowed more edges to be coated with the mixture. I will definitely make again.
I have made this every Christmas and New Year's eve for more years than I care to admit! It has always been a favorite of the family to have these hot dribbling rolls on Christmas morning and open our "Santa" presents. I use 1 pkg. Bridgford frozen rolls, 3/4 white sugar, (but will try brown sugar next time), 2 TABLESPOONS Cinnamon. I also use COOK NOT instant butterscotch pudding and pecans instead of walnuts. They are easy and truly delicious!
I am only giving this recipe 4 stars due to the fact that I too did not like the clumps of brown sugar/butter. I prefer a more gooey bread and have had it that way in the past. Every time I have tried to make Monkey Bread I have not had much success, but this was closer than any other I have tried. I didn't have time to read all the reviews before I made the recipe, but I too agree that cutting the rolls into 4 pieces and dipping them in butter would work out better than pouring the butter over the mixture in between layers. I even double the amount of butter because I thought the mixture looked dry before I baked it and it still turned out clumpy and crunchy. I think there is too much of the brown sugar/butterscotch mixture also. But I can't wait to try the recipe again, as it did have an excellent flavor and will get better each time.
Not sure how to rate this. My kids liked it. I didn't care for the chunks of hard, buttery sugar. I have a similiar recipe which calls for the pudding mix and brown sugar to be dissolved in the melted butter, along with 2 tablespoons of milk. If I make it again, I will also cut each roll in half, as they grow quite large overnight.
This was soo delicious!! It was very simple to make. Frozen bread dough works so much better than the refrigerated biscuts and not as time consuming as the yeast rolls!! I will have this in my recipe box for a long time!! Kerri- IA
Wow..this stuff is just like Cinnabon.. it is great. Be sure to use the correct BIG pan or you will have a mess. It makes a huge amount so maybe cutting it in half so you dont have a bunch left over and can make fresh each morning would be good. IT is A MUST. Sweet, sticky and a real comfort food.

Additional Information
Manufacturer: | Native Essence Herbs |

Has A Dropper?: | 2oz. & 4oz. Yes dropper; 8oz. No dropper |
Native Essence Herb Company, located just outside the town of Taos in the enchanted mountains of northern New Mexico, began preparing herbal products in 1992. The company began with the Rene Caisse formula (Native Essence Tea). Since then the herb company has expanded the line to include dozens of combination formulas and over 100 single herbs.
All of Herbal Solutions™ extracts are prepared according to specific extraction procedures. Each plant is individually extracted using grain alcohol and distilled water. Some plant's bio-active constituents will dictate the concentration of alcohol used, this ensures maximum extraction. Most of our extracts contain approximately 45% alcohol.
The extraction procedures employed by Herbal Solutions™ also vary according to the individual plant and whether the plant is fresh or dry. All extracts are prepared by a slow, cold percolation process or through a long maceration, with some plants going through the process more than once to increase concentration.
Herbal Solutions™ prepares extracts to specific herb strengths, 1:2 to 1:3 for dry plants and 1:1 to 1:2 for fresh plants. The herb strength ratio is the amount (by weight) of solid plant parts (root, flower, etc.) used to obtain the final amount of extract. Thus, an herb strength ratio of 1:2 means 1 oz. of plant material is used to make a 2 oz. bottle of extract. Since many fresh plants still contain a good percentage of water, more fresh plant material will generally be used when making an extract with fresh plants.

JURIST Columnist Edsel Tupaz of Tupaz & Associates and JURIST Guest Columnist Ira Paulo Pozon of the Office of the Vice President of the Philippines examine the constitutional vacuum that has been created in the aftermath of the high-profile impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona ...
The Philippines is now moving forward from the impeachment, and the country looks to President Benigno Aquino III to appoint Corona's successor. It is here and now that a constitutional vacuum is evident. Prior to the adoption of the 1987 constitution, the Philippine appointment and confirmation process of high officials followed closely to the US model with the Senate acting as the confirming body for presidential appointees. However, the 1987 constitution introduced a novel Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) for the purpose of pre-screening candidates to create a pool from which the President may choose and appoint. Once appointed, no other confirmation process follows. In particular, Section 8, Article VIII provides for the creation of a JBC that is supervised by the Supreme Court of the Philippines and whose composition includes the chief justice acting as ex officio chairman of the JBC: "The Council shall have the principal function of recommending appointees to the Judiciary. It may exercise such other functions and duties as the Supreme Court may assign to it." Section 9 provides that the president shall appoint members of the Supreme Court "from a list of at least three nominees prepared by the Judicial and Bar Council for every vacancy."
The foregoing constitutional setup was designed by the 1986 Constitutional Commission as a way to depoliticize the process of appointing judges and justices, and exists neither in the 1973 Philippine Constitution nor in the US Constitution.
Aside from recommending nominees for vacant judicial positions, the JBC also performs the same tasks for the nomination and appointment process of the ombudsman and deputy ombudsman, as provided for in Article XI, Section 9:
The Ombudsman and his Deputies shall be appointed by the President from a list of at least six nominees prepared by the Judicial and Bar Council, and from a list of three nominees for every vacancy thereafter. Such appointments shall require no confirmation. All vacancies shall be filled within three months after they occur.
As required by the constitution, the JBC is composed of eight members — four as ex officio members and the other four as regular members appointed by the president with the consent of the Commission on Appointment. The ex officio members are the chief justice of the Supreme Court as chairman, the secretary of justice and a representative from both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The regular members are composed of a representative of the Integrated Bar, a professor of law, a retired justice and a representative from the private sector.
It is clear that the chief justice of the Supreme Court serves as the ex officio chairman of the JBC. Pursuant to Section 4 of Administrative Matter No. 03-11-16-SC(2), which was promulgated by the Supreme Court in 2004:
Ex-officio Chairman shall be responsible for the management of the execution of the policies, rules and programs of the JBC...shall exercise decision-making authority over all operational matters, and may delegate such authority to lower level management personnel.
Therefore, the chief justice, as ex officio chairman, is essentially the presiding officer and implementer of the decisions of the JBC. The constitution mandates that any vacancy in the judiciary (in this case the chief justice) must be filled by presidential appointment from a list of nominees provided by the JBC. Given that there is currently no chief justice following Corona's impeachment, there is no ex officio chairman and, therefore, no JBC presiding officer. This is the constitutional dilemma that the Philippines is presented with — a situation of the proverbial "chicken and egg."
Many argue that the most senior associate justice, in this case Justice Antonio Carpio, should take the reigns of the Supreme Court as the acting chief justice. Jurisprudence is well-settled that such acting appointments are merely temporary ones that are only valid until a subsequent appointment is made (as determined in Austria v. Amante).
This is not the first time the Philippines have faced the sudden vacancy of a chief justice. May 17, 2010 marked the seventieth birthday and official, compulsory retirement of then Chief Justice Renato Puno. This presented a unique constitutional question considering that the national elections were held on May 10, 2010. Two days after the 2010 general election, and approximately one month before the expiration of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's term, the former president appointed Associate Justice Renato Corona to succeed Renato Puno as chief justice. This move was heavily criticized by legal experts owing to a constitutional prohibition that bars the president from making appointments in the time period beginning two months before the election up to the end of his or her term. Thus, Corona was considered by some to be a "midnight appointee" whose appointment was made during this banned period.
While Aquino has vowed that he is in "no rush" to appoint the next chief justice, following Corona's impeachment and conviction it may be well for the president to reconsider the timing and urgency of that appointment. Indeed, an impeachment "hangover" has been weighing on the shoulders of every Filipino this past week. There is no question that the impeachment trial itself had diverted much national energy from ordinary business, including judicial business, to that trial. It would be very appropriate, if not urgent, for the president to make an appointment.
Edsel Tupaz is a private prosecutor of the House prosecution panel in the impeachment trial of Philippine Chief Justice Renato Corona. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School and Ateneo Law School. Tupaz is a public interest lawyer and law professor whose expertise lies in comparative constitutional law and policy, teaching at law schools in the US and the Philippines.
Ira Paulo Pozon is Head of the Vice Presidential Special Concerns Unit of the Vice President of the Philippines. He also serves as Legal Counsel and International Relations Officer to the Vice President. He acquired his MBA from the De La Salle University and his Juris Doctor from the Far Eastern University. His interests lie in corporate law, banking, trade and investment law, comparative public law and international relations. He currently teaches at the College of Law of the University of the City of Manila.

text: The First Circuit's decision was the first appeals decision on the law, but there have been other challenges in different circuits. Last week, Republican members of the House filed a memorandum in a district court in the Second Circuit asking it to refrain from ruling [JURIST report] in a case challenging the act's constitutionality until the Second Circuit Court of Appeals [official website] makes a ruling in a pending case. US Senators also filed an amicus brief [JURIST report] in the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] asking that the appeals court uphold the DOMA as constitutional. The US District Court for the Southern District of New York [official website] also ruled [JURIST report] that the DOMA is unconstitutional earlier this month. These rulings all came after the Department of Justice [official website] announced [JURIST report] last year that it would no longer defend the law as constitutional.

Good little ratchet and it is something with the Craftsman name that is NOT made in China.
Sacramento, CA
its a good tool but the only problem is the price to hige
Houston, TX
A really good ratchet. Good to have extra length on a 1/4 ratchet. The flex head is a great addition for better access. Tough. Durable. Made in America! BEWARE: This ratchet has no quick release for socket detatchment. At times, sockets are tough to get off. Other 1/4 ratchets in Craftsman tool sets have a quick release. With the money I paid for this ratchet, why not?? Website needs to correct the description. Other than that, this ratchet would've gotten 5 stars. UPDATE 7-22-2013: Was in my local Sears store. I saw this same 1/4 ratchet, for the same price, made in China, and it had a quick release button. The U.S. made has no quick release, but charge the same price for a China made product with a quick release button. Come on Craftsman.. What's the deal?

An excellent Craftsman tool. However, it has no quick-release mechanism, perhaps because of the size constraints of a 1/4" flex head ratchet.

WATCH OUT! this has NO quick release. some sockets will take a lot of effort to remove. the extra length does help a lot. however, when changing sockets, you might have to pry off the one on there.

It's great to have the extra length when you need to work in confined areas.
