1192cc, 86bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 15
Believe it or not, but you can still buy an 80s classic Hesketh V1000 motorcycle, brand new, made in small numbers by Broom Engineering. The original Hesketh V1000 was hailed as the saviour of the British industry back in 1981, but this heavy, rather touring orientated V-twin motorcycle was - and still is - an acquired taste. From 2004 onwards, the Hesketh ...
1584cc, 67bhp, 115mph, Insurance group 15
Another Harley staple aimed at riders with traditional tastes who are looking for a machine that's both comfortable and easy to handle. The Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider combines a low seat, mid-mounted foot controls and pull back bars for easy comfort. Like all 2007 Hogs it also benefits from the new 1558 engine, too.

New DOE Standards for Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Mean Big Energy Savings
Meg Waltner, Manager, Building Energy Policy, San Francisco, CA
Have you ever walked into a grocery store and thought about how much energy must be wasted through those open-air refrigerators that store dairy products or the freezers you can see into in the ice cream aisle? Unless you're an energy geek like me, perhaps not. But as you can imagine these types of commercial refrigerators and freezers offer a big opportunity for energy savings. And thanks to new energy efficiency standards recently established by the Department of Energy (DOE), new commercial refrigeration equipment will use up to 40 percent less energy!
These energy savings will add up across the country. Over the 30-year life of the rule, these new standards will save a whopping 2.9 quads, equivalent to about 3 percent of all the energy used in the United States in one year -- or 340 billion kilowatt-hours. They'll also add up to $12 billion in net energy bill savings and reduce carbon pollution by 142 million metric tons. That's equivalent to taking 30 million cars off the road for a year!
These carbon savings are a great addition to those already added to the books this year from energy-saving rules for external power supplies (power brick adapters for our computers, etc.) and metal halide lamps found in warehouses and football fields. Together, these three rules will result in cutting over 75 million metric tons of carbon pollution by 2030 because we won't need to generate as much electricity from dirty fossil fuels. All these rules are great progress to meeting President Obama's goal of 3 billion metric tons of carbon pollution reductions by 2030!
We're delighted to see DOE finalize this rule, which was one of several efficiency standards that were long-delayed. Thanks to advocacy by a group of states, NRDC, and other advocates, last summer DOE committed to meeting deadlines for these standards, and we're pleased to see the agency follow through on this commitment. Under Secretary Moniz's leadership, DOE has stayed on track with these deadlines, issuing proposed rules for motors and walk-in coolers and freezers in the fall, in addition to the final rule for metal halide lamp fixtures this year.
DOE will need to keep moving forward to fulfill the president's Climate Action Plan goals. Earlier this week, DOE also published a proposed rule for commercial clothes washers that will save water in addition to reducing energy waste, and we expect proposed energy-saving rules for commercial automatic icemakers and general service fluorescent lamps and reflector lamps to be issued soon.
It's great to see DOE making so much progress on efficiency standards that will reduce consumers' utility bills and create jobs as these savings are spent throughout the economy while taking steps toward fulfilling the president's Climate Action plan!

John NIchols says:
Grocery stores mangers want to maximize profits. Therefore, they are going to take steps that make economic sense, without the nanny government telling them what to do.
This leads one to assume, the added expense associated with complying with these new regulations, about which the NRDC is "delighted", is going to raise food prices and reduce sales.
Congratulation NRDC, you have just helped promote a new "tax" that hurts the poor, who are suffering the most. This time you have literally taken the food out of their mouths.
Now, all you need to do to complete the circle is promote yet another government program, designed to "fix" the problem you created. This makes the poor ever more dependent on government handouts, while destroying the economy and the incentive to work.
Thomas Garven says:
One of our local markets in Lake Havasu City, AZ switched over to LED lighting in their refrigerated units about a year ago. I actually like the whiter light better and it is probably much more efficient since it is cooler and requires less refergeration.
Thom Westergren says:
And we mustn't forget about the energy consumption of the lights within the refrigeration units. Changing these over from conventional to more efficient flourescent or, even better, to LEDs saves significant amounts of energy as well.

Leeds, United Ki...
I've wanted to make a Colette Truffle dress for ages. So I decided to make one for my work Xmas Party!
I made FOUR toiles trying to get the fit right.
I got the bodice fitted after two toiles because I used a TNT pattern to get the sizing and darts placement right.
I just could not for the life of me, get the skirt to fit. So I gave up.
I desperately wanted the flounce but settled for a gathered skirt that I drafted myself.
I used black satin with a large polka dot pattern. The lining is a cotton with a little bit of lycra. I thought it would compliment the slight stretch of the satin but it may be a tad too stretchy.
I used a regular 22" zipper

NGC Awarded A-10 Thunderbolt II Task Orders
The U.S. Air Force has awarded Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) two task orders under the A-10 Thunderbolt II Life-cycle Program Support (TLPS) indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract.
Under the terms of the $4.4 million aircraft structural integrity program (ASIP) Legacy IV task order, Northrop Grumman will manage several tasks to include testing and validation of current A-10 flight spectrum data. This information can be used to determine A-10 service life and inspection cycles.
Northrop Grumman will also perform work under the $4.3 million ASIP Modernization IV task order, which will involve developing computer-aided design solid models of the legacy A-10 thick skin wings. The company also completed work on prior ASIP Modernization II and III task orders.
"Through the ASIP program, we are able to work closely with our Air Force customer to extend the life of the A-10 beyond its original design," said Doug Hamel, A-10 TLPS program manager for Northrop Grumman Technical Services. "Our ability to capitalize on original equipment manufacturer knowledge and experience from across the corporation coupled with our demonstrated performance on previous ASIP task orders allow us to provide affordable, innovative solutions for these tasks."

General news
09 May 2014 14:58
Intense competition has not only been taking place on track in MotoGP, it's also been seriously tough in MCN's new-look Fantasy Road Race competition in association with BTSport.
With the opening game round of the 2014 competition complete MCN is delighted to announce the first winner as Andy Vines and his Deene Riders team.
Vines - whose team has some serious big hitters - has scored an impressive 318 points. In MotoGP it's no surprise that he has the rampant Marc Marquez in his team, while he's secured the talents of Tito Rabat in Moto2 and wild child Aussie Jack Miller in Moto3.
Vines' victory was a close run thing though, winning by just three points from John Todd, whose team claimed a more than respectable 315 points from the opening three rounds.
Vines wins a pair of tickets to the British MotoGP round at Silverstone which takes place on August 29-31.

I went from 14000 ish up to 4872. Last year was better with bsb and wsbk, I managed to get up to around 300ish then dropped down to around 500ish after last two races. I've never watched moto2 or moto3 until this year, so it's a learning curve for me. Well done to Andy vines though :-)

Obama presses case on 'fiscal cliff' with Dimon, Buffett
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's intensive lobbying to avert big year-end tax hikes and spending cuts resumed over the weekend as he spoke with senior corporate chieftains, including JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon and legendary investor Warren Buffett.
Dimon has been a harsh critic of tougher rules imposed on the financial services industry after the 2007-2009 recession, but last month backed Obama's goal of raising taxes on top earners to avert the so-called fiscal cliff.
The president, who is on a four-day Asia trip, also spoke with Apple's Tim Cook, Boeing's Jim McNerney, and Costco's Craig Jelinek, a White House official said.
Some, like Jelinek, who spoke at the Democratic convention, are long-time Obama supporters.
"The president reached out to and spoke with each of these business leaders as a part of his continuing conversations and outreach on the need to find a balanced deficit-reduction solution that protects the middle class and continues to move our economy forward," the White House official said.
Unless Congress and the administration act, individual income tax rates will rise across the board and $109 billion in spending cuts will go into effect on January 1. The so-called fiscal cliff may cut the federal budget deficit but is also forecast to drag the economy back into recession.
Obama began negotiations with congressional leaders last week to avoid the economic shock. The key sticking point for Republicans is his insistence that rates for top earners be allowed to rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent.
Republicans agree that more government revenue is needed to trim the budget deficit, but they don't want to raise tax rates to do it.
As part of efforts to pressure Congress to support his approach, the president has invited business, labor and civic leaders and non-profit groups to the White House to press his case. His re-election was expected to give him some leverage in the negotiations.
Dimon said last month that it was "terrible policy" to let the fiscal cliff deadline draw so near before beginning talks. He also said he would be willing to see his tax rate rise if it meant avoiding any economic shock.
Dimon and the other executives could not immediately be reached for comment.

text: American Social & Cultural History, 1607-186 1 Outline of Course • The Characteristics and Contributions of the Four Cultures that Settled America – The England They Left Behind • How These 4 Cultures Became the United States • From the Revolution to the Civil War – Major Trends & Developments that transformed both the nation as a whole and its four constituent cultures 2 Third Class • Finish Discussion of Frontier Culture • Describe the U.S. in 1800 • Discuss How Four Cultures Became Two Sections – Westward Movement – Democratization 3 The Frontier • Clothing – Women normally wore homespun linsey-woolsey – Men wore shirts of linen in the summer and deerskin in the winter with loose flowing trousers or breeches – Many of the elements of "western dress" derive from the backcountry, although modified by Mexican elements in the 19th century and Hollywood in the 20th. 4 The Frontier • Diet – Often consisted of curdled or thickened sour milk, butter, bacon, cornbread, and potatoes • Griddle cakes and pancakes were very popular. So were grits (made from cornmeal mush) which replaced the oats popular in the British borderlands. • The British taste for lamb and mutton yielded to pork, which was either boiled or fried. • Backcountry cooking ran more to boiling than to roasting or baking • Soups, porridges, and stews were common 5 The Frontier • Drink – The distinctive backcountry beverage was whiskey. • Common table drink even for children (when sweetened with a little sugar) • A taste for liquor distilled from grain was uncommon in the south and east of England, but common in north Britain, Scotland, and Ulster – In the backcountry, Scotch whiskey (distilled from barley) yielded to Bourbon whiskey (distilled from corn and rye) 6 The Frontier • Sports – Individual competitions in running, jumping, leaping, and throwing things (axes, spears, sledge hammers & cannon balls) • The Scots introduced the Caledonian Games which featured the above events in its competitions – Shot put, hammer throw, running broad jump, high jump, pole vaulting, hop-step-and-jump, hurdles, sack races, wheelbarrow races, & three-legged races • In the 19th century, athletic clubs, schools, and colleges began to sponsor many of the above events. • This eventually led to modern track & field 7 The Frontier • Notes on Order – While there were official sheriffs, order-keeping was often done by ad hoc groups of selfappointed vigilantes • This was less a product of the frontier environment and more the tradition of retributive folk justice that was carried from the British borderlands to the American backcountry • Of 326 vigilante movements, 211 occurred in the southern highlands and the southern rim. Most of the remainder were on the fringes of that region 8 The Frontier • Key Cultural Concepts – In the absence of any strong sense of order as unity, hierarchy, or social peace, the backsettlers saw order as a system of retributive justice – Strong libertarianism 9 Breaking Away from Great Britain • Once established in America, these regional cultures: – Adapted their European origin culture to American conditions – Created characteristic institutions and cultural values – Experienced a pattern of cultural evolution • • • • Puritans became Yankees Virginia Royalist became Whigs Backcountry settlers became frontiersmen Quakers become a minority in the Middle Colonies 10 Breaking Away from Great Britain • From their beginnings to the 1760s, England had largely left the American colonies on their own. This reflected: – English Crown's fiscal poverty • Proprietary colonies • Colonies left to defend themselves – Political turmoil in 17th century England as crown battled parliament for supremacy – England's involvement in a succession of 18th century wars with France 11 Breaking Away from Great Britain • Between 1660 and 1760, England's elite created a set of new institutions which still dominate English life – A Royal Navy that dominated the seas – The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts – Bank of England – The regimental tradition of the British Army – The concept of the king-in-parliament and the institution of the prime minister – Whitehall bureaucracy 12 Breaking Away from Great Britain • Despite England's military buildup, the colonies were still left to fend for themselves since – British military strategy was focused on protecting England and Ireland from French invasion and supporting European allies on the Continent – In so far as resources were diverted to the Western Hemisphere, they went to protect the sugar-producing islands of the West Indies 13 Breaking Away from Great Britain • In the 17th century when the English economy and state were weak, the Crown had encouraged emigration to reduce unemployment and discontent at home and to exile dissidents from political influence • In the 18th century, the Crown began to discourage emigration from England so that, in conjunction with the English manufacturers demand for cheap labor, emigration from England declined. • Thus in the 17th century, 350,000 English emigrated to the colonies; in the 18th century, only 80,000 English emigration, of which 50,000 were convicts 14 Breaking Away from Great Britain • While wishing to curtail English emigration, colonial officials still wished to encourage emigration to the colonies – In 1740, Parliament passed the Plantation Act which enabled foreign-born colonists to win British citizenship by residing for 7 years in any colony, swearing allegiance to the king, paying a 2-shilling fee, and taking communion in any Protestant church – This invented the notion of America as an asylum from religious persecution and political oppression in Europe It also led to the emigration to America of about 100,000 Germans, about 75% of which landed in Philadelphia, with most settling in rural Pennsylvania and some in western Maryland and Virginia 15 Breaking Away from Britain • The First Great Awakening – Period of Revivalism • Revivalism was the consequence of a shift away from the Calvinist concept of grace to a new concept – Calvinism – Grace was necessary for salvation, but it could not be earned by man. It was given only to the elect. – Revivalism – Grace was necessary for salvation, but it was available to all who freely chose to accept it. • Created the itinerant revivalist preacher who seeks to win souls, often via 'hellfire & brimstone' sermons – Jonathon Edwards, George Whitfield, John Wesley 16 Breaking Away from Britain • The First Great Awakening - 2 – Led to a split in Congregationalism between the Old Lights and the New Lights – Led to the birth of the Methodists – Led to the rise of the Baptists (and the Methodists) from fringe religious groups to major denominations • Broke up the religious monopoly of the Congregationalists in New England and the Anglicans in the Tidewater South • Enhanced the religious pluralism of the Middle Colonies 17 The Great Awakening • The First Great Awakening – 3 • Crossed all religious and sectarian boundaries and turned European-style churches into American ones characterized by: – – – – – – Evangelical and moral rigor A tendency to downplay the clergy in favor of the preacher Little stress on liturgical correctness or parish boundaries An emphasis on individual experience A downplaying of theology and doctrinal orthodoxy An emphasis on eschatology » Key text: "Behold, I make all things new" (Rev 21:5) 18 Breaking Away from Great Britain • The British Victory in the Seven Years War which ended in 1763 – Permitted the large colonial population to break through the Appalachian Mountains into the vast Mississippi River Valley watershed • This led to major Indian wars – one with the Cherokees in the South and the other with the Indians of the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes • To mollify the Indians, the British barred settlement west of the Appalachians 19 Breaking Away from Great Britain • The conquest of Canada deprived the colonists and the British of a common enemy that had united them in the past – This victory encouraged the British to restructure the Empire and make the colonists pay a greater share of the costs – The victory emboldened the colonists to defy the British because they no longer needed protection from the French 20 Breaking Away from Great Britain • The Seven Year War brought about 25,000 British troops to the colonies -- the first time that British troops had conducted military operations on the American mainland. – English officers were appalled to discover that the colonists routinely ignored imperial regulations, such as the 1733 Molasses Act – New Englanders were shocked by the irreligion, swearing, gambling, whoring, and Sabbathbreaking of British troops 21 Breaking Away from Great Britain • The Seven Years War brought American soldiers from different colonies together in various campaigns – The soldiers from different colonies saw that they were more alike than different and that they were all different from the British 22 Breaking Away from Great Britain • The Seven Years War doubled the British national debt from a prewar £73 million to a postwar £137 million, with interest payments consuming more than 60% of the annual budget. – In addition, the crown decided to maintain a 10,000 man garrison in the colonies, primarily in Canada and the Great Lakes • This led Parliament to begin taxing the colonies 23 Breaking Away from Great Britain • The colonial leaders saw the new permanent army in North America as a threat rather than as a source of protection – The troops provided a pretext for new taxes and the means for enforcing them – After making peace with the Indians, British troops were seen as protecting the Indians from the settlers rather than enabling the settlers to dispossess the Indians 24 Breaking Away from Great Britain – The Colonists balked at new taxes, detecting a dangerous precedent that threatened their prosperity and liberties: • The colonists saw liberty as rooted in the notion that a free man paid no tax unless levied by his own representatives. Without such a protection from arbitrary taxation, people gradually but inevitably became enslaved by domineering rulers 25 Breaking Away from Great Britain • The Seven Year War and the postwar years had marked the first time that large numbers of British troops had been stationed in America. This fact and the increasingly rancorous constitutional debate with Parliament revealed to both British and Americans the divergent development of their societies 26 Breaking Away from Great Britain • In Britain, most common men were dependents, either tenants of an aristocratic landlord or landless laborers dependent upon an employer • In America, most adult free men were landowning 'independent' farmers • To British eyes, a land of so many independent men and chattel slaves seemed threatening to proper order – Insubordinate common people who did not understand deference to their betters – Vulgar leaders grown too arrogant from dominating slaves 27 Breaking Away from Great Britain • American leaders feared that small new taxes would set precedents for increasing levies that would enrich an official elite around the royal governors while impoverishing common taxpayers and limiting social mobility – Colonists defended property rights since property alone made men truly independent and free – Colonists defended their traditional liberties as a means to protect their property 28 Breaking Away from Great Britain • The Stamp Act taxes fell most heavily on newsprint and legal documents – this offended four groups capable of causing serious trouble for the British – newspaper printers, lawyers, merchants, & college students • These groups constituted the opinion makers of the colonies – It politicized the press by making it a forum for discussion and protest, turning protest into a coherent opposition movement – It fostered Americanization by creating an awareness of all the colonies being in the same situation and by fostering inter-colonial cooperation 29 Breaking Away from Great Britain – Besides taxing the colonies, England tried to bring the American colonies into line with English practices • In 1758, the Archbishop of Canterbury tried to create a uniform Anglican religious establishment in the American colonies • In 1774, Governor Bernard of Massachusetts proposed the creation of an American peerage similar to that of the Irish peerage – These constituted additional causes of colonial fear and resentment 30 Breaking Away from Great Britain • British policies after 1763 threatened all four American cultures • Result: the four cultures forgot their differences and joined together in the movement that led to the American Revolution 31 Breaking Away from Great Britain • The Revolutionary War Went through three phases, each phase waged by one of the regional cultures – New England (1775-76) – Middle Colonies (1776-78) – South • Backcountry (1779-81) • Coastal South (1779-81) 32 Breaking Away from Great Britain • The loyalists who opposed the Revolution tended to be groups outside the major regional cultures – The imperial elites in the colonial capitals – Ethnic groups who lived on the margins of the major cultures – the polyglot population of lower New York, the Highland Scots of Carolina, and the African slaves • The Delaware Valley with its pacifist Quaker and German Pietist populations was largely neutral 33 Creating the Constitution • After independence, the four regional cultures found themselves in conflict • The Constitution of 1787 was an attempt to write institutional rules of engagement that would allow the four regional cultures to peacefully coexist • The compromises that made the Constitution and its ratification possible involved regional compromises between 3 of the 4 cultures with the Frontier largely unrepresented 34 Creating the Constitution • The Great Compromise was less a compromise between large and small states than a compromise between different political cultures – Infrequent elections (Virginia) vs Frequent elections (New England) – Taxation – Economic Policy – Slavery – First Amendment 35 Creating the Constitution • The supporters of the Constitution were mainly a coalition of elites from New England, Virginia, and the Delaware Valley. • The opponents consisted largely of the frontier backcountry and dissenting minorities in the various regions • The Bill of Rights was designed to protect the various regional cultures – It restricted the Federal Government, not the states – The First Amendment was designed to protect both religious freedom in Pennsylvania and Virginia and the religious establishments in New England 36 From the Revolution to the Civil War • Major Trends – Westward Movement – Democratization – Regions evolve into Sections • Westward Movement • Diverging Economies – Cotton & Slavery – Industrialization – Transportation & Communication Revolutions 37 From the Revolution to the Civil War • The U.S. at the beginning of the 19th Century – In many respects, little had changed since the 17th century • The hearth and fireplace were central to the home • Most consumer items still manufactured at home or in the local community • Farm and family obligations were sufficiently encompassing as to leave little leisure time • Transport was slow and expensive, especially on land. Few people traveled except merchants, traders, seamen, and members of elites • Communication was slow and expensive. People knew little of what went on outside their local community 38 From the Revolution to the Civil War – A Note About Cities and Towns -- 1 • Most Americans lived in rural hamlets and villages or on isolated farms • Cities and large towns were largely commercial and shipping or political centers located on major rivers or ocean harbors – They were congested since everything had to be within walking distance » Work and living spaces were often integrated with members of the family and apprentices living above or behind the workshop 39 From the Revolution to the Civil War – A Note About Cities and Towns -- 2 • There was a clear distinction between city and country. There were no suburbs – Except for waterfront housing, there was no zoning nor neighborhoods exclusively devoted to commercial, office, governmental, entertainment, or residential functions. » Public buildings, churches, hotels, warehouses, shops, and homes were normally interspersed, and often located in the same buildings – No factories. Production took place in the shops of artisans – The fashionable addresses were located close to the center of town. The lower classes and the more objectionable businesses were on the outskirts – City streets were narrow and often winding to follow land contours. There were no street addresses 40 From the Revolution to the Civil War • A Note About Cities and Towns – 3 – Not until late in the 19th century did cities supply water to urban residents • People dug wells in their backyards. Often well water was contaminated with outhouse filth • 1830s saw horse-drawn omnibuses – Increased the large amounts of horse-generated manure also produced by delivery wagons, taxis, and carriages • Garbage collection consisted of pigs and geese scavenging • Due to the increasing use of coal as stoves replaced fireplaces, air pollution was becoming a problem 41 From the Revolution to the Civil War • A Note About Cities and Towns – 4 – Death rates were high – higher than in the countryside and also higher than the urban birthrate – Only increasing migration to the cities kept urban populations from falling – Life expectancy of babies born in New York City – 24 years - was 6 years less than that of newborn slaves 42 From the Revolution to the Civil War • A Note About Cities and Towns – 5 – People went to cities because: • The jobs & markets were there • Jobs in the city were higher paying and less arduous than those on the farm • City provided amenities and activities not available on the farm – Theaters & cultural institutions – Parades & processions • City provided access to groups of like-minded people 43 From the Revolution to the Civil War • Despite the Growth of Cities and Towns – Agriculture still provided the livelihood for the overwhelming majority • People in other occupations often farmed as well • Most white Americans lived on family farms • Operating a farm household required an adult man and woman • Since children were an economic asset on the farm, farm families were large 44 From the Revolution to the Civil War • Daily Life on the Farm – Almost all of life's activities – production, consumption, birth, child rearing, care of the sick and elderly, and early childhood education – took place in the household setting • 2/3rds of all clothing and linens were produced in the household • People owned few changes of clothes • People bathed very infrequently • Outdoor privies were the norm • A single fireplace provided the cooking and heating – In winter, everyone slept in the room with the fireplace 45 From the Revolution to the Civil War • Widespread Ownership of Land: – Was psychologically significant • Nurtured a pride comparable to that of European gentlemen • Led people to see themselves as citizens rather than subjects – Promoted a republican ideology that celebrated the 'common man', white egalitarianism, free enterprise, self-employment, and low taxes 46 From the Revolution to the Civil War • Of the 7,230,000 listed in the 1810 census, only 1 million lived west of the Appalachians • Westward migration was a constant – Limited productivity of land without fertilizer – Population Growth • Travel was slow, especially overland 47 From the Revolution to the Civil War • Westward Movement – Surplus rural population migrated in search of farms and livelihood • The new demand for short-staple cotton prompted movement to the Old Southwest – This led to the expansion of the Virginia/Tidewater South culture and the Frontier culture and their eventual merger into a Southern culture – Converted semi-subsistence farmers from the Piedmont into cotton producers 48 From the Revolution to the Civil War • Westward Movement – 2 – The Old Northwest developed differently • Slavery was prohibited under the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 & it was too cold for cotton • The settlement pattern also differed from that of the Old Southwest – The southern parts of Ohio, Indiana & Illinois were largely settled by southerners and became corn & hog country – The northern areas of those same states plus Michigan, Wisconsin, & Minnesota were largely settled by New Englanders who grew wheat, cattle, and orchard fruit – In between the Yankees and the southerners were settlers from the Middle Atlantic states. Cincinnati was a Middle State enclave in an Upland South area 49 From the Revolution to the Civil War • Westward Movement – 3 – Constituted the spreading of the four founding cultures – To some extent, it mingled two or more of the founding cultures – Each culture brought to its new westward environment its own characteristic values, lifestyles, settlement patterns, religious affiliations, and even their housing & cooking 50 Democratization • Most of the colonies had established either a property or taxpaying qualification for voting – Actual enfranchisement, however, was fairly high. • During and soon after the Revolution, two factors extended the franchise – The shift in a number of states from a property qualification to a taxpaying qualification – Inflation which imposed 'bracket creep' on statutory qualifications 51 Democratization • States also enacted other reforms in the 1780s and 1790s which increased the number of voters – Increasing the number of polling places – one in each township as opposed as few as one in each county. – More frequent elections – More offices being elective rather than appointive • Governor, Lieutenant Governor, state senators, and U.S. congressmen were all newly elective offices 52 Democratization • In the 1820s, the states: – Abolished the remaining property qualifications for voting • Massachusetts in 1820 and New York in 1821 took the lead in this by revising their state constitutions • No state admitted to the Union after 1815 had a property requirement for voting – Provided that presidential electors should be chosen by the voters rather than by state legislators 53 Democratization • Voter in colonial Virginia and New England – Political leaders are personally known to the voter and members of locally prominent and wellestablished families 54 Democratization • Voting in the 19th Century – Political leaders, except for some local offices, are not personally known by the voter. You vote for a candidate because you support his political party – Elections are the culmination of a months' long campaign involving banners, torchlight parades, and election hoopla – The voter's connection to a party is based less on its stand on public policies and more on a strong sense of partisan loyalty – The act of voting is an act of solidarity 55 Democratization • The change from the 18th century to the 19th century represented: – A shift from the concept that property qualifications were necessary to ensure that the voter possessed the economic independence necessary to exercise independent political judgment to the concept that voting was a right of all adult white males – A shift from the personal authority of gentlemen to the impersonal authority of party – From personal knowledge of the candidate to a knowledge of the opinions of the party and its most active partisans 56 Democratization • The Democrats appealed to those who favored limited government, free trade, and white supremacy – These people saw themselves as 'outsiders' suspicious that an activist government would favor 'insiders' and infringe on their lifestyles • • • • Inhabitants of areas bypassed by canals, rivers, and railroads Large cotton and tobacco planters Immigrants Persons committed to white supremacy and the expansion of slavery 57 Democratization • The Whigs, Know Nothings, and later the Republicans appealed to those who supported internal improvements and government support of moral reform – Businessmen – New England and areas settled by New Englanders – Persons committed to various "reform" causes – Nativists 58 From the Revolution to the Civil War • The Second Great Awakening – Two Main Strands of evangelism that at first were separate but later intertwined • One began in Kentucky & Tennessee by circuit-riding preachers who led camp meetings at which conversions took place • The other originated at Yale, and spread west with the New England diaspora – Religious Innovation – the creation of new denominations 59 From the Revolution to the Civil War • The Second Great Awakening – 2 – Besides Lyman Beecher, another key evangelist was Charles Grandison Finney who: • Saw revivals as man-made events designed to bring sinners to God – complete with 'hell-fire' sermons, music, and spectacle – Paved the way for such future preachers as Dwight Moody, Billy Sunday, Billy Graham, and the modern televangelists. • Saw the converted sinner as free from sin [Perfectionism] and morally obligated to improve society – Result was the formation of a host of reform groups aimed at wiping out such social evils as intemperance, prostitution, and slavery 60 From the Revolution to the Civil War • The Second Great Awakening – 3 – Finney's perfectionism, revivalism, and social reformism invigorated and disrupted American Protestantism • Led to schisms between the Old Light Calvinist Presbyterians and the New Light Revivalist Presbyterians 61 From the Revolution to the Civil War • The Second Great Awakening – 4 – The revivalistic fervor of the camp meeting preachers – largely Methodist and to some extent Baptist – made the Methodists America's largest denomination by 1850 and the Baptists the next largest Protestant denomination • Methodists went from 3% of the religiously-affiliated population to 34%. 62 From the Revolution to the Civil War • The Second Great Awakening – 5 – Another outgrowth of the religious fervor of the Second Great Awakening was the creation of new religious denominations • The Mormons • The Seventh Day Adventists • The Disciples of Christ 63 From the Revolution to the Civil War • Impact of the Second Great Awakening – Fostered a wide variety of church-related benevolent associations • Led women to take an active role in the churches and churchrelated benevolent associations. – This in turn fostered such reform movements as women's suffrage, abolition, prison reform & temperance • Sunday School movement, which not only provided religious education but also taught basic literacy • Provided a framework for the creation of a whole host of civic, educational, fraternal, and business organizations on both a national and even international level – Pooling of capital – Civic responsibility – Founding of colleges 64

Movie Has A Good Message About Standing Up For What's Right
Richard Kelly was in jail because he tried to stop the violence in some riots, but he didn't and got sent to jail. One of the police officers had to go to the hospital. Instead of staying in jail, he got probation, but he had to go to an All-White Seminary. Richard met a man named Sam, who was the grounds keeper. Sam helped Richard a lot, taught him a bunch of things. Richard's roommate was from Texas and a very nice guy that was on his side. Richard called him 'Tex'. Richard had a friend named Roscoe he grew up with, but in the end, Roscoe died because he made a lot of wrong choices, including dealing in drugs. He also killed an old man because he wanted the man to sell drugs for him and the old man would not let him. Richard had to get a petition signed with 70% of the students & faculty agreeing so that they would let more blacks or people of other races into their seminary within 10 days. President Beckett of the seminary started out on Richard's side, but in the end, was not. He ended up getting kicked out of the seminary for trying to bribe Richard to not do the petition. This movie does have violence and people smoked a lot. I didn't like that part. ----------------------------------------- Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program.

No Reservations NYC outer boroughs episode tonight
- buttertart Sep 7, 2009 09:02 AM
Saw in the Daily News yesterday that tonight's show is on the outer boroughs of NYC - looking forward to seeing it although from the article it would seem the research for it was done on CH (Kebab Café in Astoria, Xian place in the Golden Mall in Flushing, etc.).
Thanks for the reminder- it's been an atypical Monday, so I probably wouldn't have remembered without your post!
Nice show, did a lot of talking about how the immigrant culture has moved to the boroughs and had some amazing Asian foods. The vegetarian temple was interesting, I'd been to one that served incredible food but didn't know this phenomenon was so ubiquitous.
Going to Koreatown with David Chang was very cool. Hanging out with David Johansen was incredible, although he is looking old.
Also, one thing that cracked me up, the show was using Google Earth to show the maps of where they are and then not two minutes later, they cut to commercial with Bourdain pushing Bing.com.
re: Phaedrus
It was good. No Kebab Café despite the DN. I was very happy to see David Johansen as well (have been crazy about him since forever). The live-ish octopus part was a bit offputting (even though I am among the world's least squeamish, I have read a bit about octopus' apparent intelligence). Also a bit odd that the explanation of har gow was that they usually contained shrimp...no kiddin'!
re: buttertart
agreed. i was pretty bothered by the octopus part. killing anything slowly while you watch it suffer seems really unnecessary, especially something intelligent like an octopus.
otherwise, great episode full of affordable fabulous food. makes me want to take a trip!
re: artemis
Very disturbing, I agree. No reason for it.
re: sophie fox
The reason was to validate the place's authenticity, pretty sight of not. AB was a bit over the top with his flippancy, but that's Bourdain, take him or leave him.
re: buttertart
To be fair, David has looked old for a realllllllly long time. He still has better abs than anyone I've ever known from age 16 to 60.
Nobody messes with my DH, Bowie or Iggy, dangit! You can have Lou.
re: Robert Lauriston
I was a bit bummed the Feeding Tree was not included as some publications had indicated. Overall, solid show; I had been to all of the places and thought they were a fairly good intro to the jewels of the boroughs. Just a scratch on the surface...
re: ZenFoodist
It's part of the missing scenes:
This really was a very interesting show. The best of the season IMO. I wish AB would get his research done as well when he visits other cities. In the rust belt episode not one of the places from the Detroit segment was actually in Detroit.
re: polish_girl
Been there, done that. Bourdain had Russian food in Brighton Beach in in season 3, episode 8, and in season 5, episode 8 ("Disappearing Manhattan") he went to Russ & Daughters, Katz's, and Sammy's Roumanian ("missing" scene shown in countries with no / fewer commercials).
I loved this episode, easily this and the Disappearing Manhattan episode are the best of this season (go figure the two New York episodes). However, I do think he could have diversified a bit with his choices. For instance, he showed two Chinese places and Southern Indian and Sri Lankan places, weird considering that he was just in Sri Lanka. I was hoping he would hit up some Turkish or Greek places in Astoria and of course Jackson Heights for Bangladeshi and other great cusines, but maybe an Outer Boroughs part 2 is on the horizon.
re: gomes
Queens alone could fill an entire season, so something's got to get left out when he does four Outer Boroughs in a singe episode. Sri Lankan is what Staten Island is most remarkable for (Bourdain mentioned that he had first heard about the Staten Island Sri Lankan community IN Sri Lanka) so it was a logical choice for that borough.
In truth, he showed three Chinese places, if you count two separate stalls at the Golden Mall.
re: raidar
Come on down and see for yourself. There's more than enough to keep a Canadian of any origin happy here (I should know!).
re: saeyedoc
It's not quite Singapore, but it's as Asian an experience as you are likely to have on the east coast.
I caught this episode recently, and my reaction was thinking, too bad AB isn't more of a chowhound. Until he landed his gig with FoodTV and subsequently on the Travel Channel, he never struck me as someone who actually goes out of his way to find really delicious foods in the eclectic settings that are available in NYC. Even when he used to post on CH (like a decade ago), it was about the Manhattan restaurant "chef-y" scene. Nothing wrong with that. But he clearly demonstrated to me his one-dimensionality, and understandably as a guy who just worked his way up the Manhattan restaurant ladder, that was his world, and mostly blinded to the bounty that was just on the other side of the river. Too bad really. He's actually matured quite a bit in his world travels, and it seems to be bringing him back to finding these little honest joints serving up good food for good value for people who demand their food with quality and within their native traditions. I hope he actually finds his way to more places like the ones mentioned all over the Outer Boroughs board, instead of tagging along with some food authority to tell him how good it is. I also find that he's realizing that many of his preconceived ideas of food cultures (whether international or domestic) are loosening up. He seemed reluctant to take my word that he made some factual errors about some places he went to in LA when he was doing a Cook's Tour on FoodTV, when he once sat across from me at a big dinner. After all, who am I? He was good company, maybe aided with an elevated ego at the time, but maybe he's ready to revise some of those nit-witted ideas he once had.
re: E Eto
I think that's an excellent assessment of the man, and I'll add that he probably needs to rely less on his producers' selection of destinations. Prior to his China tour a couple of years back, one of his producers contacted my by email to ask if I had any suggestions for subjects in remote areas of China. I responded that I really didn't know much about China beyond Shanghai, but I would be happy the give suggestions for Shanghai. She in turn replied, somewhat cursorily, that they had Shanghai "covered." As it turned out, he went to a couple of the most obvious, tour book-driven places imaginable in Shanghai.

I remember when an episode of Falcon Crest was filmed on the Oregon Coast. I wish I'd been around when the cast of Sometimes A Great Notion came to town instead. Reading these great stories and anecdotes from local residents is the next best thing.
When filming Sometimes a Great Notion on the Oregon Coast, which local beer did Paul Newman consider to be 'the closes substitute' for his beloved Coors?

Its typology commonly corresponds to durable buildings built from timber, stone or clay used to safely store valuable commodities. House M works as a modern interpretation of such an ancient building tradition, placed in Ishikawa in a tiny gap between the national road and the city limits. Continue reading

Real Salt Lake looking to rediscover swagger at Vancouver
Matt Gade, Deseret News
At a time when Real Salt Lake should be building momentum for the stretch run, it finds itself trending backward because of a two-game losing streak.
The timing couldn't be worse.
RSL travels to Vancouver this Saturday in an absolute must-win match to keep its Supporters' Shield hopes alive, but there's a good chance coach Jason Kreis won't be putting his best foot forward.
Next Tuesday Real Salt Lake hosts MLS bottom feeder D.C. United in the U.S. Open Cup final, and based on the developments over the past couple weeks, RSL clearly has a better chance of winning the Open Cup than the Supporters' Shield.
With that in mind, don't be surprised to see Kreis rest some starters for Saturday's 5 p.m. MDT kickoff in Vancouver and put the club's depth to the test.
RSL defender Chris Wingert said he's confident in getting a result either way.
"Up until this point we've had a good season because of that depth, so hopefully it will carry us through. We need to trust it, and that's part of having a 10-month season and playing a lot of big matches," said Wingert.
Over the past two weeks, that depth has been tested without the services of banged-up striker Alvaro Saborio, and goals were tough to come by in a 2-0 loss to Seattle and a 2-1 loss to San Jose. Saborio trained with the team in the rain Friday, but his status for the weekend is unknown.
Regardless of who plays, RSL defender Nat Borchers said Saturday is all about rediscovering the swagger that had all of MLS talking about Real Salt Lake not long ago.
"I think we really just want to play well right now — that's the most important thing — defensively and offensively. Get our rhythm back offensively and defensively not concede goals," said Borchers.
Kreis put his players through a tough week of training to prepare for the four-day stretch that may ultimately define the season.
With a result in Vancouver, it's hard to imagine RSL not continuing the momentum Tuesday and capturing its first trophy since 2009. With a third-straight loss, struggling RSL would only be four points clear of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, and confidence could be a legitimate concern heading into the Open Cup final.
"We need some urgency here. It's coming right down to the last few weeks and we haven't made the playoffs yet and we have a championship game on Tuesday. Everybody realizes the stakes. We just have to make sure we execute," said Wingert.
RSL is 1-0-1 against Vancouver this season, winning at home and drawing on the road, but the clubs haven't met since May 4.
Vancouver is coming off a 3-0 trouncing at Montreal, and will no doubt be anxious to play in front of its home fans for the first time in four weeks in a must-win match. The Whitecaps trail Colorado and Los Angeles by four points for the final playoff spot.
"They're a lot like San Jose in terms of being a very hungry team. They're fighting for a spot in the playoffs. Their backs are against the wall, and conversely our backs are against the wall as well. We need to have a good performance," said Borchers.

I guess any idiot can buy a gun and shoot in an irresponsible manner. These fools should be found, charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent possible.

When will we start truly holding people responsible?
The target shooters who started the Dump Fire at Saratoga Springs, which burned off the brush and then allowed several homes to be flooded.
What happened to them?
Probably feted in a parade as "heroes".

I'm skeptical that is the shooting causing the fire. It would take tracer,
steel ammo, or something like that to spark a fire. Even then, it would need
some very unique circumstances to cause a fire.
In all the 50+ years of shooting, including 10 in the Marines, I have never seen a fire started with ordinary ammunition.
I know what the news has said about other fires, but I've seen no real evidence except conjecture to prove it was shooting.
Lead bullets do ricochet, but sparking is another thing.

As a physicist and a avid shooter I do not see how you could create a fire by regular target shooting. Tracer rounds or exploding targets yes. Anyone who claims that a fire started while they were using regular rounds is likely lying to cover up carelessly starting a fire another way. When I see it I will believe it. Until then i will trust what I have seen and what I understand about physics.

Interesting thing happens when articles like this get posted, or when a fire starts and police question people shooting in the area. Comments from the pro gun people seem to be similar to "I doubt the bullet, or a ricochet caused the fire", or they claim the media or left wing people are trying to take guns away. I am an avid shooter, and die-hard second amendment supporter, and I dislike the media. But, let's be real, these articles NEVER mention ammo type, and, in almost ALL cases, if people are in the area shooting, they caused it!! whether its using steal ammo, or shooting exploding targets, they caused it! Ask the state investigator, who closed down a huge area west of Utah Lake, what was causing those fires. He'll tell you it was the shooters. If you're going to go shooting, be responsible and be Smart!

RE: MpleDn - I saw nothing in the article about taking away guns. However, taking responsibility as gun owners for your actions and expecting the state to apply existing laws should definitely apply. Tax payers should not be expected to foot the bill for fools who start fires, no matter how they start the fire.

Even the investigator who blamed guns for last year's Saratoga Springs fire admitted to conjecture. He wasn't certain, but said there were casings on the ground in that area. THERE ARE CASINGS ALL OVER THAT HILL!
Any restriction on smoking in dry areas? Nope. Any restriction on matches in dry areas? Nope. Just guns.
I've shot many thousands of rounds over my 40+ years and have been with others doing the same. I've gone shooting in locations where other shooters were clogging the area target shooting. And with all that gunfire and dry terrain I've never seen a fire caused by guns.
Last year, the media went nuts about guns and fires. And their efforts were successful in convincing the people in this state that the majority of fires that occurred last year (and this) were caused by guns. That's called propaganda.
Even this one incident is speculation, yet you've got the low information readers concluding that gun people need to be stopped (see comments above).
So, it seems to me that this is issue driven, rather than concern for trees and grass.

20 years in the Marines, and I have never seen a fire started by
shooting--unless they were tracer rounds. With as much lead as we put downrange
in some firefights, there would have been fires started left and right if lead
bullets were the cause. In fact, next time you go camping, try and start your
fire by shooting at your pile of wood and kindling. No need to report back on
how it went, because I already know the answer.
But--if you are shooting lately, in the extremely dry conditions we have in the state, and you are using 'exploding' targets, tracer rounds (which I highly doubt), etc, then you should be arrested for stupidity. And yes, if you were the cause of a fire and the subsequent damage, then you should also be made to pay for it.

"This year, (2012) the Bureau of Land Management said 11 of 31 wildfires it
has battled in Idaho have been sparked by shooting activities.
In New Mexico, state forestry officials said a landowner was target shooting when one of his bullets hit a rock and sparked a small blaze. "This is a sign that we are very dry," said state forestry spokesman Dan Ware. "We're starting to see very unique ways of fire starting."
Officials at Arizona's Tonto National Forest had seven wildfires caused by firearms in 2010, 10 in 2011 and at least four so far this year. The potential for fire is so great that shooting for several years has been prohibited on BLM property in the Phoenix area."

This "neck" with a masters degree is not upset a out it being blamed on guns. I'm upset that it is considered by many, that normal target shooting starts fires. When I see a study done that shows that fires can be started with lead bullets, then I will believe it. All that I have heard so far are claims. Peaple are too quick to accept claims as fact.

Current cigarette smoking among 12- to 17-year-olds fell significantly from 2002 to 2010 in 41 states, according to a report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration issued last week.
A new University of Cincinnati study released last week examined how anxiety sensitivity can thwart the efforts of smokers with asthma to quit smoking.
Health warning labels on cigarette packages that use pictures to show the health consequences of smoking are effective in reaching adult smokers, according to the results of a new study published in the December issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
Ballantyne Brands, an electronic cigarette provider, on Monday announced the introduction of a new premium brand, NEO. The company also announced that it has acquired the Mistic brand of electronic cigarettes for an undisclosed amount, and has secured an investment partner to support its business for the long term.
Watson Pharmaceuticals on Wednesday announced the sale of its Rugby over-the-counter business to the Harvard Drug Group — a distributor and provider of private-label OTCs and generic prescription products under the Major Pharmaceuticals brand — for approximately $117 million.
Smokers who have been unsuccessful to date in trying to kick the nicotine habit may be able to stop smoking by combining two smoking cessation approaches, according to a report published in the Oct. 17 issue of JAMA.
The Food and Drug Administration took the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009 one step closer to being considered by the Supreme Court earlier this week.
Global sales of nicotine replacement products are expected to reach $6.2 billion in 2018, following compound annual growth rates of 4.5% between now and then, GBI Research reported Wednesday.
Tobacco use among American middle school and high school students showed a slow decline from 2000 to 2011, according to a report released last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new drug made by Forest Labs for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the agency said.
Vapor recently announced its filing of a nonprovisional patent for an electronic cigarette cartridge that will give its electronic cigarette line the same tactile feel of a traditional cigarette filter.
Drug Store News recently talked with COPD Foundation founder and president John Walsh about the organization's new leadership. In March, the COPD Foundation took over leadership for Drive4COPD, which aims to screen people for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a collective term for emphysema and chronic bronchitis, which the group estimates to affect 24 million Americans who may have it but don't know it.
A unit of generic drug maker Mylan has settled with Sunovion Pharmaceuticals over a drug used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma.
Taken together, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease — which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema — affect nearly 50 million Americans, or about 15% of the total U.S. population, according to statistics from such organizations as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And combined, the two diseases cause more than 100,000 deaths per year. Fortunately, however, there is a wide range of treatments available for both, many of which work for both diseases.
Electronic cigarettes, sometimes called personal vaporizers, are making their way into the drug channel. As tobacco smoking in public is steadily becoming a thing of the past, smokers are looking for alternatives, and more retail channels are carrying the products.
Sales of smoking-cessation products may realize a March boom following a recent government advertising campaign that encourages Americans to quit smoking.
Obesity adds more to healthcare costs than smoking does, according to a study published in the March Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, the official publication of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
The Food and Drug Administration on Friday released draft guidance that ultimately will provide the public with previously unknown information about the chemicals in tobacco products and help prevent misleading marketing about the risks associated with tobacco products, the agency said.
Vapor recently expanded its e-cigarette offerings across its Krave brand.
GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare strongly supported efforts to inform smokers of the impact tobacco use has on the body, as well as effective ways to quit, during a congressional briefing Friday that was sponsored by Reps. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., and Tim Murphy, R-Pa.
A nonprofit organization focused on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease will take over a COPD awareness campaign from the drug company that started it.
Regulators will take a few months longer to review the approval application for a new drug for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the drug's developers said Thursday.
Novartis has launched a new treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the drug maker said Monday.
Walgreens on Tuesday partnered with Passport Health Plan, a local Medicaid health plan in Louisville, Ky., on a new smoking-cessation program that launched in early January.
More than 50 drugs are under development for treating a respiratory disease that is the third-leading cause of death in the United States.

Not to bad

I ordered 1 Artisan coffee table, 2 Artisan end tables, and an Artisan TV stand and they all arrived in a timely fashion. They are much darker than they appear on the website. The coffee table is the only item that arrived without any issues. Packaging is great but the manufacturer need to pay more attention to detail as I had other issues with a matching Artisan TV stand and end tables..

Advocating and supporting services for Deafblind individuals in Massachusetts
Deafblind Awareness Day was held on Thursday, April 3, 2014 at the Massachusetts State House. Individuals who are Deafblind, family members, advocates, service providers and friends convened in the Great Hall to bring awareness to lawmakers about Deafblind supports needed and the importance of investing in those services.
Deafblindness is a combination of vision and hearing loss. It can be represented in varying degrees in different individuals but often results in challenges in communication, education, and independence. Unique educational programs and community supports are critical to providing opportunities for children and adults who are Deafblind so they can be successful in all areas of life, including employment, communication and access to information and services.
Key agencies serving persons who are Deafblind were on exhibit, including:
- Massachusetts Commission for the Blind (MCB)
- Helen Keller National Center
- New England Consortium for Deafblind
- Deafblind Community Access Network (DBCAN)
In all, it was a very successful event! Presenters shared their stories and highlighted the vital impact that services have had on their lives. Mitch Sanborn, Director of the Deafblind Multi-handicapped Unit (DBMH) at MCB, received an award in "Recognition for Providing Quality Services for Individuals Who Are Deafblind in MA."
The Massachusetts Deaf Blind/Multi-Handicapped unit provides services to consumers who are deaf blind and or legally blind with cognitive issues, via counselors who are skilled in the basic use of American Sign Language (ASL) and or a variety of alternate communication methods. Services include:
- vocational, prevocational
- social day programs
- respite
- adaptive equipment
- low vision aides
- flex funding
- residential placement
- transition from school to living in the community
- and more!
The unit's goal is to enhance each consumer's independence and overall quality of life. For more information or to learn how access these services, call (TTD) to 1-800-392-6556 or email Mitch Sanborn at firstname.lastname@example.com.
