Active (view current version of standard)
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers high-strength low-alloy structural steel shapes, plates, and bars for welded, riveted, or bolted construction intended primarily for use as structural members where savings in weight [mass] or added durability are important. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of the steel in most environments is substantially better than that of carbon structural steels with or without copper addition. When properly exposed to the atmosphere, this steel can be used bare (unpainted) for many applications (see Note 0). This specification is limited to material up to 4 in. [100 mm], inclusive, in thickness. Note 0For methods of estimating the atmospheric corrosion resistance of low-alloy steels, see Guide G 101.
1.2 When the steel is to be welded, it is presupposed that a welding procedure suitable for the grade of steel and intended use or service will be utilized. See Appendix X3 of Specification A 6/A 6M for information on weldability.
1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
1.4 For structural products produced from coil and furnished without heat treatment or with stress relieving only, the additional requirements, including additional testing requirements and the reporting of additional test results, of Specification A 6/A 6M apply.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Central America Bob More , April 21, 2014 "Every detail was taken care of, and all connections were on time. We were extremely pleased, couldn't stop telling everyone about our great trip. Each room / hotel was better than the last. Wow great holiday!"
Central America Steve Walling , January 20, 2014 "We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good. The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice. I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan. You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica. "
Central America Merrel Bowles , November 07, 2013 "I would highly recommend this company for overseas travel. We had personal drivers that spoke perfect English and were also very knowledgeable in conversation pertaining to their country. Drivers were always early and eager to please. Your wish was their command!!!Every tour included educated guides who knew how to make our experience fun and exciting! I loved having personal drivers and guides, as well as many inclusive meals. We will definitely use this company for future travels."
Central America MikeCoke , April 09, 2013 "Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing. Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well). Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner. I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them. Have fun. Mike"
Central America L Huber , April 03, 2013 "Hi Erika We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there. In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon. Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone. Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip. Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that. Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular. Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success. "
Central America Brian Blades , April 24, 2013 "Very prompt at getting information back to us and very helpful with any changes we wanted. This trip was as good as the last trip we did with Kensington, could'nt have been any better. Our guides were excellent, especially Gerald. "
Central America Stephen Strom , April 22, 2013 "The transfers went flawlessly; the guides were all superb (knowledgable; thoughtful; sensitive; responsive to our needs). The recommended hotels were, with one exception (see below), also first rate and well matched to our needs and temperaments. Our thanks for providing 3 wonderful guides: Gary Ortiz (Antigua); Carlos Antonio Lopez (Tikal and Yaxha); and Israel Canto (Belize). All of them understood that we have 'peculiar' tastes (for example: photographing lichen covered tree trunks while the magnificent structures at Tikal were but meters away!). It is really critical that guides not try to make sure that we see every 'important' thing, but recognize instead that 'importance' is very much a personal thing. "

I received the 3 wood from global golf in near mint to mint condition. I've owned several 3 woods before (including the r11 that came before the s model) and this is hands down the best wood I've ever owned! My previous wood, the r11, had the Fujikura Blur shaft in a stiff flex and I decided to go regular flex with the Aldila shaft and that, for me at least, made a huge difference! The ball flight looks much higher and stable for me and I can absolutely crush this ball almost as far as my driver! I just love this wood!
Excellent condition
It's what you expect from taylormade. Nice club though it did take a while to get used to

Yeah, but the only 3 pointer that we remember is the one he misses in the corner to win the game when Metta found him wide open after Westbrook made a defensive mistake
Honestly, the ones I remember most were the ones he drilled against Denver.

The Special Olympics European 7-a-side Football Tournament took place in Denmark involving more than 160 players.
The Danish Special Olympics national team and club team Glostrup IC, brought home Gold in the A-and B-series while Boldklubben Enghaven won Bronze at the Special Olympics European 7-a-side Football Tournament from June 28th until July 1st.
The 7 a-side football tournament was dedicated to players with intellectual disabilities at low ability level similar to the 2009 event held in Portugal. More than 160 eager players from ten countries participated. The countries were Switzerland, Poland, Russia, Monaco, Hungary, Iceland, Great Britain, Malta, Belgium and Denmark. The event was possible thanks to co-funding from UEFA, the Danish Disabled Federation and local sponsor Wurth. 12 teams displayed skill and good spirits on and off the pitch at the Ballarat Sports Park, Ballerup, Copehnagen where the Tournement was held.
The Danish Federation for Disabled and the Danish Football Federation were involved in organising the tournament in conjunction with Special Olympics. Attending dignitaries included the Deputy of Mayor of Ballerup, Tom Nielsen and the Belgium Ambassador to Denmark, Jean-François Branders.
The three days of great football saw players build on their soccer skills and develop new friendships. Danish player, Lynge Jacobsen: "We played really well today. The best thing was to score a goal against Monaco. I had another goal disallowed and it was a little annoying, but I did not say much about it."
The 7-a-side Tournament was co-funded by UEFA under its RESPECT programme.
For Glostrup IC taking part in the tournament was special as they won the A-series. The final was a close match against Switzerland. Glostrup IC had many scoring opportunities and won the match 1-0. Glostrup player, Anders Petersen: "We have a really good defense and midfield, who work well together. But I will also give much credit to the coaches and referees. It's been a good tournament, we would like to help again."
Four referees from the Danish Football Association were involved.

Markets rally as banking fears ease
Global markets rallied today as fears over the health of European banks eased, but it was another volatile day marked by wild swings in share prices.
The FTSE 100 in London closed 156 points, or 3%, higher at 5163 as a strong opening for US shares turned sentiment around after the UK index had dropped below the 5,000 barrier early in the day.
Concerns over Europe's sovereign debt crisis and the exposure of French banks in particular had caused the early selling, but gains of more than 200 points for the Dow Jones Industrial Average when US markets opened sparked a rally.
News that French President Nicolas Sarkozy will meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday to discuss Europe's financial plight also helped the mood.
The CAC-40 index in Paris closed up 2.9%, while the DAX in Frankfurt gained more than 3%.

"Excellent history--different viewpoint"
I've read almost every bio of Cixi there is since high school, when I studied Chinese history. This bio puts a new and modern spin on how Cixi actually tried to modernize China at the turn of the 20th Century--while maintaining order at home and keeping foreign powers at bay. I knew the players well but the new viewpoint on her reign as empress went contrary to many popular opinions that she was reactionary and a deterrent to modernization. Fascinating! And seeing how Japan, Russia, and the Europeans played their part in disrupting the Ching Dynasty and the entire region is likewise a deep look back into a land of mystery to most Americans.
Cixi is one of history's most fascinating women. But Prince Chun, her brother-in-law (doubly so, half brother of the Emperor and married to Cixi's sister) is equally fascinating in this book, where he mostly plays the bad guy but one who reforms in the end.
Jolene seems to have good Chinese pronunciation--while I can't be sure, she does seem to do a good job.
Dragon and Phoenix: China's entry into the modern world during the reign of Empress Cixi.

"A masterpiece from Thomas Mann"
This is a great way to read Thomas Mann, who can be long and wordy.
The descent into lust, madness, obsession and degradation is one of literature's most dramatic scenes. The master artist Aschenbach, restrained, honored, and successful debases himself in a pursuit of beauty. That it is forbidden love makes the debasement more horrifying and sickening. There is always a combination of gorgeousness with absolute ugliness and horror.
This is a restrained, refined performance.
The end is one of those passagese in literature that you read and re-read. Though it's inevitable, it still is shocking.
"Excellent science-fiction"
If you like science fiction, especially Silverberg, this doesn't disappoint. The scientific background is impeccable.
It has a flavor of the world of Dune, though it's nothing like it. The blend of an imperial society with a live-giving drug (the vaccine for the organ rot) and the advanced science and enhancement of human capability is reminiscent of the themes in Dune. However, the handling is more inimate and less sweeping--it's all about Shadrach.
The light voicing of different characters is handled masterfully. Nothing overdone. This makes the characters come alive.
The end, where Shadrach returns to Ulan Bator.
I liked this novel quite a bit--it's not one of Silverberg's top novels but it is amazingly written and though some people do not like the end--l did like it, although Genghis Mao seems to break character a bit.
"My favorite Jules Verne novel"
The print version is very long. But some translations are better than others. This one is mediocre.
The meeting of the colonists with the mysterious benefactor in the caverns of Lincoln Island. One of science fiction's great moments with one of science fiction's great characters.
The performance was good, except I disliked the reader's voice for Pencroft the sailor. It was annoying--the gruffness was a good idea, but the voicing was forced and positively irritating.
This was one of my favorite books as a child. For some reason, however, the characters came alive more in the written version, especially Herbert, who seems less important in the spoken version. The end does make you cry a bit--it is bittersweet.
I still think this is one of Verne's best novels. In a way, it's a sequel to "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" which is perhaps a greater novel than this.
"Asimov's most innovative novel"
The audio version may be better than the print version because who doesn't love listening to Scott Brick? The man could read a phone book and I'd be riveted.
The second section of the book, taking place in a different universe with the triad of Odeen, Dua and Tritt is amazing. Alien marriage, sex, reproduction and maturation is handled deftly and creatively. The characters really shine, especially Dua.
The scene where Dua attempts to communicate with humans to warn them. Her message is touching and thrilling.
When the message from the alternate beings is translated--it's thrilling.
This may be my favorite Asimov novel. No robots--but very different and very creative. As usual, Asimov's female characters are better-drawn than his male characters and again, he has a female character play the heroine.
"Missing the last sentence of the book!"
The entire novel is changed by this one sentence or two being missing at the end. Was that an authorized change by Silverberg? Other than that, a good performance of an excellent novella of a very strange dystopia.
Good narration, interesting dystopia
"Less here than meets the eye (or ear)"
This is a diary form of a tale, told in first person by Morwenna, who survived a car accident that cost her her twin sister. But the accident is no ordinary accident; magic is involved--and witches, and...Morwenna's mother, who is apparently trying black magic to become the Dark Queen and be empress of the world--or so we are led to believe. We follow Morwenna as she's reunited with her absent father, goes to a posh but dull boarding school mandated by her three rich (witch?) aunts and she matures as a teen, gets a boyfriend, and battles magic. All through the book there is a running thread of the books Morwenna reads and loves, most of them science fiction. It's fun to hear her (abbreviated) opinion of the classics of sci fi but ultimately, there is less here in this novel than meets the eye and and the ultimate showdown is a bit of a let-down. The rest of the novel maunders on in diary form--interesting enough but not really gripping. Katy Kellgren's Welsh accent gets a bit on my nerves after the first section, but it's well-done and she's a good narrator, though she sounds a bit mature for the role of teenager. I've read worse, but didn't think it deserved a Nebula in the least.
"Deeply intriguing, well narrated espionage novel"
Le Carre is the master of espionage novels, but his writing is unusual in "Tinker, Tailor"--the story is told mainly in past tense via interrogations by Smiley, though there are occasional scenes of action. But what you are reading is basically a very complex spy-vs-spy double agent scheme, laid out with exquisite logic. The revelation, however, is not a surprise, though I think it's not meant to be a surprise. We are supposed to get inside Smiley's head and literally BE him as he unravels the intrigue. What's left UNSAID is marvelous--the author trusts the reader always to be one step ahead or at least along side and leaves out the obvious.
The narration is excellent; Smiley's voice is a sort of Alec Guinness-like suavity, and other accents and voices are subtly but definitely dramatized by the narrator. One other reviewer remarks that this is not suitable for a commute and I rather agree--I found that the noise of the road plus the dense text made this easier to listen to at home. I wish that Jayston would narrate the rest of the Smiley books rather than have them dramatized as his reading is spot-on. Can't recommend it enough.
"Heinlein theme material, pure Spider Robinson"
Oh, you look at this and think "GOODY! A Heinlein novel I haven't read, and yay! written from material dating back to his Young Adult novel days, when he really turned out some great stuff such as Citizen of the Galaxy, Tunnel in the Sky and many others." But no, that's not what we have here. In this case, the estate of Virginia Heinlein left some material sketched by Heinlein and Spider Robinson was proposed as the author who could take this buried treasure and develop it into a bestselling sci fi novel. And that's what happened. The story revolves around a typical Heinleinian ingenu-- Joel Johnston young hero, who chucks it all including an alluring marriage proposal to a very rich and pretty girl, and takes off on a one-way, decades-sublight voyage to colonize a new planet. The life in the space vessel, the newly formed society of pioneers and the challenges they face as they traverse space are incredibly well developed and quite exciting. There are many turns of fate that will have you gasping. But...it is not Heinlein, it's definitely Spider Robinson, with his devilish plays on words and a much more modern tone. I couldn't put it down. Annd this is true Space Opera, no fantasy, unicorns or wizards need apply. Robinson does an admirable job reading his own work. As long as you realize what this is, you may enjoy it as much as I did. Just don't expect Robert Heinlein writing from beyond the grave, because as you already knew, that's impossible.
"A worthy prequel and a stellar performance"
Isaac Asimov revisited his Foundation series with a prequel decades after he wrote, first the Foundation Trilogy in the 50s, then went on to write sequential novels in the 80s and 90s. Though this is the first of the Foundation books set in the Galactic Empire period, it appeared more or less in the middle of the publication timeline. So if you have read the Foundation books, you will enjoy the back story of psychohistorian Hari Selden. While this story in some ways lacks the youthful enthusiasm and drama of the earliest Foundation novels from the 50s, it's still a good story and there is lots of action (that is, Asimov action, which consists of pursuit scenes, mainly and not a lot of shoot-em-up or sex. Well, almost none, in fact.) The reading by Scott Brick is as always, absolutely the best there is. Subtle character voice changes, no weird pretending to yell in a half-loud voice, or other irritating quirks, and that resonant voice we've come to love, nay, be addicted to. I'm only annoyed that due to Brick going out on his own as a voice star, the last Foundation Novel is not read by him, doubtless a contract problem and a shame that the end of the series doesn't have the same reader.

Top Definition
A Spogangster or Spokangster is a person between ages 10 and 27 found in the city of Spokane. They typically wear crappy JNCO's, South Pole clothes, and the occasional Aeropostale and BOSS Wear hoodie. Also thinks U.S. Polo Association is a designer Ralph Lauren brand. Fake bling piercings are da bomb for them. The girls typically shop at Rave, Deb and other crappy girl's stores with "baby girl" shirts in them. They have no sense of fashion other than MTV rap videos, so they ultimately love their male counterpart Spogangsters, thinnking they are the rappers on MTV. Worships J-Lo and Lil' Jon. Guys have to be blonde, skinny and have shaved heads. Facial hair is highly encouraged to cover their white skin, so as to appear more Black. Ultimately failing. They typically hang out at Northtown Mall or walking up and down Division Street.
"Holy shit look at that Spogangster wih his baggy gray track suit and fake chains!"

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools rating is a simple tool for parents to compare schools based on test scores, student academic growth, and college readiness. It compares schools across the state, where the highest rated schools in the state are designated as "Above Average" and the lowest "Below Average." It is designed to be a starting point to help parents make baseline comparisons. We always advise parents to visit the school and consider other information on school performance and programs, as well as consider their child's and family's needs as part of the school selection process.
Rating Breakdown
Test score rating | 9 |
The test score rating examines how students at this school performed on standardized tests compared with other schools in the state. This rating is based off of 2013-14 WSAS test results. | |
College readiness rating | 4 |
The college readiness rating combines this high school's graduation rates with data about college entrance exams, both of which are indicators of how well schools are preparing students for success in college and beyond. This rating is based on composite ACT scores and four-year adjusted graduation rates from 2011-12. ACT participation represents the percentage of 11th graders taking the ACT. |

About the test
GreatSchools' ratings currently reflect 2012-13 testing data.
Beginning in the 2012-2013 school year, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the WSAS test. As a result of these changes, proficiency scores for Wisconsin schools are lower than they were in previous years.

text: As reported previously in The Washington County Edition discussions/negotiations have been going on among City of Salem officials, members of the Salem Municipal Airport Board of Aviation Commissioners (BOAC), and representatives from Salem Speedway since early in 2008. The purpose of those discussions has been to develop a plan by which the current airport facility could be leased to the Salem Speedway several times throughout the year as a drag racing track and the lease revenues be used to pay the local matching funds for the new airport facility. (To read all previous stories about this subject click here.) During the Monday, January 12, Salem Common Council meeting, Richard Deaton, representing Salem Speedway owner, Owen Thompson, presented a check in the amount of $20,000 to Salem Mayor, David Bower. According to Deaton, the check serves two purposes. One was to show a good faith effort on behalf of Thompson. The other was as the first year's lease payment for a yet undetermined number of dates in 2009 that the current airport runway will be used for racing events. As per a copy of the proposed lease agreement submitted to the Council, the $20,000 is the first of a series of annual lease payments totaling well in excess of $1 million. The proposed lease payments accelerate over the next five years to keep pace with the anticipated local matching requirements for the construction of the new airport facility. In April of 2008, the Common Council voted to withdraw support from the project, citing a lack of tax money necessary to met the local matching funds obligation over the next five years. That amount, between $800,000 and $900,000 equates to 2.5 per cent of the estimated $22 million cost of the project. After taking that action, several members of the Common Council and Bower all stated publicly that if a way could be found to fund the new airport project without the use of taxpayer money, they would support it. At the January 12 meeting, Bower explained that if Thompson was confident enough to invest this kind of money, and considering what an asset Salem Speedway is to the community, every effort needs to be made to see that this deal goes forward.

Nope only recently subscribed, I will watch the progression -if any- from now.
Do you value your data? Have you heard about data corruption? Is that important to know, for you?
Yes I do, yes I have, yes it is.
You must show them to proof such papers exists, otherwise it's nothing more then FUDing and trolling. However, SUN FUDs.
I don't understand. While Solaris is dead then it can't be better then Linux which is not dead. Do you mean something which is dead is better then something which is not?Again, could you specify what you want me to prove? If you do not specify then I can not prove it. How do mean "solaris is dead"?
1) Do you mean development of Solaris has stopped?
2) Do you mean Solaris is not sold anymore?
3) Do you mean no one is using Solaris?
4) Do you mean there is no market for Solaris?
5) Or do you mean everything 1-4?
What do you want me to prove, Kraftman? Please specify. I can prove everything above. But what do you ask? I do not understand. How many times earlier have I asked you to be more specific? 30 times?
One thing not related to another. This what you said is example of FUDing:
I've deny you posted research papers, white papers, etc. which backups your claims. I didn't say you didn't post any research papers, white papers, etc.Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) is a tactic of rhetoric and fallacy used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics and propaganda.
opensolaris is alive and well.

The Buddha Way is the path of practice that both cultivates and expresses awakening in each moment. This class will study Sila, Samadhi and Prajna (defined below), which are a traditional formulation of the Buddha Way and include the practice of awareness in both zazen and daily activity and awakening to the Nature of life.
The class is intended to complement the activities of the Fall Practice Period, whether they are practiced at the Zen Center or at home, by describing how they promote the development of Sila, Samadhi and Prajna and by referring to both the early Buddhist teachings and Zen teachings. It is appropriate for beginners and those who wish to support and deepen their practice.
Sila: The discipline and conduct of awakening, manifest through wholehearted participation in each activity in a way that sustains mindfulness and the well-being of everyone. How to take care of ourselves and have the energy to practice.
Samadhi: Continuous contact with the flow of experience, by bringing full awareness to every engagement throughout the day. Sustaining awareness of body, mind and emotions in the midst of zazen and everyday activities.
Prajna: Seeing clearly the true nature of what is, including the habit patterns of our mind and heart; actualized through Samadhi and supported by Sila. Also stimulated and guided by individual interviews with teachers, classes, lectures, zazen and self-reflection.

Martin Margiela's shoe line was one of the first labels that Geert Bruloot and Eddy Michiels bought - just before the young Belgian designer began at Jean Paul Gaultier. The pair's eye for unique, unknown talent has turned their shoe store into a haven for creativity and interesting design.
