Have I somehow unintentionally reached an enlightened state of consciousness, as Sam talks about in The End of Faith?
If you have, now would be a good time to demonstrate it scientifically, instead of anecdotally. Go bend a spoon with it.
In the face of an obvious biological explanation, I cannot see the point in speculating that "maybe something is intervening, even though it seems very unlikely from our current narrow window of perception." But if you insist on trying to reason to a mystical explanation in lieu of the obvious and simple physical explanation, why complicate the process by positing that we have a "current narrow window of perception…" which presupposes some sort of future "broad window of perception." Huxley's essay was fun to read 40 years ago, and was used by some to justify a lot LSD and peyote, but I doubt it is a firm enough base upon which to build your speculations that your sensory experiences transcend physical explanation.
Regrettably, Immediate, your request for further funding to study this problem has not made it into the final pool of proposals under consideration. Money is tight, and competition is stiff. You may resubmit at the next funding deadline.
One of the reviewers of your proposal had these comments:
You do realize Intellectual Supression that the word something, while linguistically is something, in content is nothing.
Throwing the word something without a shred of clarification is the exact same as saying everything, or nothing.
Because, something is only something if you have an explanation or piece of information that distinguishes it from nothing, and narrows it down from everything,
Supernatural spirit, or mystical are other variations of the word something spouted into sentences where the speaker intends to pass off nothing as an actual explanation.
I guess, in retrospect that makes the initial claim of this post correct, nothing is indeed intervening. Or everything if you will.
Now thats something alright.
To rephrase, the first stage in studying "something" is to tell us what you are studying. Studying everything is beyond the scope of a single research proposal, so part of the reason for its rejection is that it is simply too ambitious to make believable promises that it will succeed. Seen from another angle, it is so non-specific that you could claim any results as successful ones. That is how we classify your proposal as being in a field different from science. Sadly, your proposal is "inappropriate" in the context of the goals of this agency.
Another way of describing it would be as a slow charge of electricity passing through my spine. And thinking about it further, I can't say it peaks in my head, sometimes it isn't quite like that. So it's pretty subjective, admittedly. But I also know that we still know very little about this universe, so I am not going to pretend to know everything about everything, as some humans ignorantly do.
On resubmit, perhaps you will include a section on what you propose to measure, and with what instrumentation you will try to measure it. There is not a division in this agency for studying "anecdotes reporting subjective sensations".
Call it what you want, but it is scientific progress at its essence, and those who reject it outright are anti-science, anti-progress, anti-human, and pro-religious in nature.
Nope, sorry. That is why people with research proposals have to explain why they should get money to study something. Making empty accusations and using inflammatory rhetoric is not encouraging to those reviewing your proposals.

Did you manage to fix this?
I'm also having the exact same problem with Garmin Mobile XT and E52.
21-09-2009 3:43
21-09-2009 4:22
I faced similar problem of getting freezed in Nokia E72. So, I updated my GarminXT from 5.00.50 to 5.00.60, and so far I didn't encounter similar issue. Try to update to 5.00.60, try google for that (it is not yet in Garmin's site, but somewhere from Garmin Taiwan).
21-09-2009 15:17
22-09-2009 9:55
I do have the same problem, installed the new Garmin software and it keeps crashing! When you reduce the Map resolution to minimum it improves a bit but not by much.
I think E52 can not treat Garmin as a system app. Or Nokia doesn't like us to use non nokia maps.
I use to have E51 and there was no problem vith TomTom or Garmin.
22-09-2009 18:27
So far I also have the same problems with the E52 and Garmin XT (also using the latest version 5.00.60).
But it seems to be much more stable if Bluetooth and the Position Sensor (horizontal/vertical) is disabled,
then I could navigate from office to my home today (20km). But for a new phone with already good predecesors
it should be better and much more stable than what we got!!!
Hope a firmware to fix all the issues is out soon??!!!!
23-09-2009 7:13
Firmware update would be nice! I have to say I was very happy with E51 and buying E52 supose to be nice upgrade, but I am now concidering going back to E51!
I use to love Nokia's Podcast,Internet radio,Ovi backup, and the easy Email set up in E51, but none of that I can run on the E52. "Whats wrong with you NOKIA" !!!???
One question I have is, where do you guys get the XT version 5.00.60? I have contacted Garmin and they emailed me that there is not such thing!?
23-09-2009 10:33
I downloaded it from the German Webpage:
Worked fine on E51, but if the sensor is enabled or the Bluetooth is enabled it freezes
quickly the whoile handset.
23-09-2009 11:23
All of you guys mentioned i the forum version 5.00.60 but the download link is for version 5.00.50 !
So there is no Garmin Mobile XT for Symbian S60 3rd Edition software version 5.00.60 available.
23-09-2009 14:46
Try this site:
It's from Garmin Taiwan. The first file is 5.00.60. Extract the .sis file into your memory card and run it to update. Do not execute the .exe file otherwise you might end up with the Taiwanese version on your phone.
23-09-2009 21:11
Exactly http://www.garmin.com.tw/products/GarminMobile10/d
this is the link. Sorry. But also here it freezes. The speech over Bluetooth is silent
after a few messages and if the Sensor for hor/vert is enabled the mobile freezes.
23-09-2009 21:35
Thanks for the link will try it and let you know how did I go
09-10-2009 6:55
Dang! I couldn't even get it to install!
It stops halfway during installation...
10-10-2009 21:52
13-10-2009 17:06
14-10-2009 4:59
My phone is still with Nokia. It's been 3 weeks already. They're waiting on some kind of board to get replaced. To get .60 installed, you only need to extract the SIS file into your phone and run that. You do not extract everything into the phone otherwise you'll risk overwriting your settings with Taiwanese settings.
I can only suggest that you go back to .50 then just extract the GarminMobileXT.sis from .60 into your memory card and run that to install .60.
14-10-2009 7:58
the contents of my download is:
so, you mean to say, i ignore all the folders and just overwrite the GarminMobileXT.sis on my memory card with the new one and just run it?

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine if you are infected with Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
When to Get Tested?
One month to three months after you think you may have been exposed to the virus (the average time for the antibody to be detected is two to eight weeks after exposure to the virus); once a year if you are at increased risk of being exposed to the virus; when your doctor thinks that your signs and symptoms may be due to HIV; before becoming pregnant or when pregnant
Sample Required?
A blood sample collected from a vein in your arm; there are also tests available that can be performed on oral fluid.
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the cause of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). This test detects antibodies produced in response to an HIV infection. The antibodies may be detected in blood or other body fluids, such as oral fluid or urine.
An HIV infection may initially cause no symptoms or cause flu-like symptoms that resolve after a week or two. This is followed by a simmering infection that may cause few symptoms for a decade or more. If the infection is not treated, eventually symptoms of AIDS emerge and begin to progressively worsen. Over time, HIV destroys the immune system and leaves a person's body vulnerable to debilitating infections. There are two types of HIV, 1 and 2. HIV-1 is the most common type found in the United States, while HIV-2 has a higher prevalence in parts of Africa.
When HIV enters the body, such as through exposure to the blood or body fluids of an infected individual or contaminated needle, the immune system responds by producing antibodies directed against the virus. These antibodies can be detected with screening tests about 2 to 8 weeks after exposure to the virus. If exposure to the virus is more recent, then antibody levels may be too low to detect and repeat testing at a later time may be required.
A few different options are available for HIV antibody screening. All HIV tests used in the U.S. detect HIV-1, and some types have been developed that can also detect HIV-2. Some versions can detect both HIV antibody and an HIV marker called the p24 antigen. Levels of p24 antigen are typically high early in the course of infection. An antibody/antigen combination test may be performed to increase the likelihood that HIV infection is detected sooner after exposure occurs.
Depending on the test, antibody screening may be performed on a sample of blood or oral fluid. The sample may be collected at a doctor's office or local clinic and sent to a laboratory for testing. Rapid antibody tests may be available in these settings and can provide results in about 20 minutes. Some tests are designed so that a sample can be collected at home and then sent to a laboratory. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved in July 2012 a test for use at home. Though the test has limitations, the FDA felt the potential benefit of increasing the number of people tested for HIV outweighs the drawbacks of possible errors when the test is performed at home. (For more on this, see the article Home Testing: Avoiding Errors.)
Regardless of the type of antibody screening test used, a positive result requires follow up with supplemental testing to establish a diagnosis of HIV.
Detecting and diagnosing HIV early in the course of infection is important because:
- It allows for early treatment that slows progression to AIDS.
- An individual can learn of their status and modify behavior so as to prevent the spread of disease by not exposing others to their blood or body fluids.
- A pregnant woman can undergo treatment that would help prevent her spreading the disease to her child.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. There also are tests available that can be performed on oral samples. An oral sample is obtained by using a special small, spatula-like device with a flat pad on the end. The flat pad is placed above the teeth against the outer gum and is swabbed completely once around the outer part of the upper and lower gums.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

It's confirmed: Michael Vick has a new dog. To truly become a model of the type of behavior Vick wishes to teach his children—that animals deserve to be treated with compassion and respect—Vick should take the opportunity to "break the cycle" and "be an instrument of positive change" by expressing remorse about the dogs he brutalized and killed with his own hands. This is something that we've never heard him do publically.
Because of this, we have serious concerns about Vick's ability to be a responsible pet owner. We can only hope that he will set the right example for his children by teaching them to foster humane habits and a lifelong bond with their family pet.
What's your opinion?
Michael Vick should NEVER--NEVER have been allowed to own a pet. Let him explain to his kids why they cannot have a pet.
Can I republish your post?
return man 2
He never apologized to the dogs or expressed remorse for hurting them. He had a long list of people that he apologized to...not the dogs. That says everything right there. He chose not to apologize to them. I'm sure that he had advisors that asked him to do so before the press conference... think about it.
To those who believe Vick should have a dog because he paid his dues and changed- what kind of world do you live in? The kind I live in is one where when a parent murders or severely abuses their children they do NOT get the others, or them back, and they lose their parental rights. He should NOT be given a second chance at having another dog. Bad enough any team would welcome him. He's a sick man. People will torture animals are scary. One common bing amongst ceriql killers, Oren sociopaths and psychopaths, tortured animals. He should be locked up.
What kind of moron would allow "it" to own a dog ? The same type of morons that allowed "it" back in the nfl..The same type of morons that paid "it" to make their team the laughing stock of losers (idiots).. All those morons are motivated by greed..They could care less about torture or the brutal deaths those dogs suffered literally at "its" hands.. "it" should've lost all rights to children and pets, forever.. other people lose their kids for much less than that.. "it" spent a short time sitting in jail, that does not constitute paying a debt..I don't see a bit of remorse from "it"..except "its" sorry "it" was caught..The justice system failed society and "its" children by not making this a landmark case by changing the severity and sentencing to make such cruel acts closer to the legal definition of murder.."it" should still be in jail and be sitting there another 10 years.. "it" has a name..but only ever should be remembered for "its" vicious, barbaric and cowardly nature.. michael vicious sic vick..the thug..the ghetto freak boy..the scumbag who gets his jollies off by killing with his bare hands..the coward that will never be a man..the serial dog killer..the bottom of the human gene pool..
The bible says to forgive when someone repents.. I don't believe the lip service.."it" kept maintaining innocence til "it" was forced by evidence to plea bargain.."it" lied.. "it" hasn't changed by anything I see.."it" will pay for "its" crimes, but not by the useless justice system.. "it" like we all will stand before our Creator..Then justice will be done..so til then, "it" better enjoy "its" short stint on earth or drastically change and get right with God.. "its" crimes are so horrendous, no person or animal should be at risk from "it"..but should, didn't happen..I believe this isn't the last cruel act we'll see of "it"..I hope I'm wrong but time will tell..
The only way to make it clear to the ASPCA that their decision to support Michael Vick is to not donate to them and to make sure that anyone you know doesn't donate to them. They are supposed to be advocating for animals, not Michael Vick.
Michael Vic felt no remorse. He thought the whole thing was a joke. And so did his friends. He isn't going to change. I only hope he doesn't mistreat this sweet dog when no ones looking. Dog fighting can be deep rooted and nothing is wrong with it in their eyes. He may only torture this dog due to resentment of getting caught. Or take it out on the dog when he's having a bad day. NO-most definitely Michael Vic should NEVER HAVE AN ANIMAL AGAIN!
I cant believe this. I have lost all respect for the ASPCA.. He's a murdered. ..and should nvr be allowed to be alone with any animals period... and he's given a pit pup... Whats next convicted child molesters and pedophiles to be given babies. Become foster parent's. ..
He should be banned for LIFE to never own another pet again. He is a piece of garbage.

The criminal division is responsible for the filing and disposition of all felony and gross misdemeanor violations issued in Kandiyohi County.
"Felony" means a crime for which a sentence of imprisonment for more than one year may be imposed up to a maximum sentence of life in prison.
"Gross Misdemeanor" means a crime for which a maximum sentence of up to one year in a correctional facility and/or a $3,000 fine may be imposed.
If the defendant has been charged with a targeted misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor or a felony level offense, the defendant must be fingerprinted prior to his or her first court appearance. Each new charge requires fingerprinting even if the defendant has been fingerprinted on prior cases.

Where do I get information about court appearances?Call Court Administration at 320-231-6206 during regular office hours.
How will I know when to appear in court?If you are charged with committing an offense and you are required to appear in court, your court date is scheduled by Court Administration.
(return to top)
Will a public defender be appointed to represent me?For all offenses where jail time is a possibility, you may apply to have a public defender represent you if you cannot afford to hire your own attorney. Public defenders are appointed based upon financial guidelines set by Minnesota Statute. You must fill out a form called an Application for Public Defender prior to your first court appearance and the court will determine if you are eligible to be represented by a public defender. You may be charged a sliding fee for the services of a public defender and you will be charged a public defender assessment for utilizing the services of a public defender.
How many times must I appear in court and what happens?First appearance: The first court appearance for a traffic violation or a criminal offense is called the arraignment hearing. You will be required to complete a Statement of Rights form before you appear in court. Your constitutional rights will be explained to you and the judge will review the charges that you are being accused of with you. If you plead guilty to either a petty misdemeanor or a misdemeanor charge, the judge will impose a sentence, which may include fines. On misdemeanor charges, the judge may order fines and jail time. If you plead not guilty, another hearing date will be scheduled.
Second appearance: If you are charged with a petty misdemeanor and you have entered a plea of not guilty, you will be scheduled for a court trial as your second appearance before the court. If you are charged with a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or a felony, your case will next be scheduled for a pretrial conference or an omnibus hearing. In either case, if you plead guilty, a judge will impose a sentence, which may include fines, and/or jail time. Unresolved cases, other than petty misdemeanors, will be scheduled for trial.
Third appearance: The third appearance will be the trial. A trial can be heard before a judge or a jury. If you wish to have a trial before a jury, you must request one. Felony and gross misdemeanor cases will be heard by a twelve person jury, and misdemeanor cases will be heard by a six person jury. If you are found guilty either by a judge or a jury, the judge will impose a sentence, which may include fines and/or jail time.
At all hearings, the prosecuting attorney is available to discuss settlement options.
How do I pay my fine?Cash, check, money order or credit card.FINES ARE DUE THE DAY THEY ARE IMPOSED PER MINNESOTA STATUE.
What if I cannot pay my fine on the day of court?If you are unable to pay your fine in full on the day of court, you will be required to meet with court staff to discuss payment options that may include a payment plan, community work service, or a combination of the two. You may be required to sign a document that will have the fine directly taken from your payroll check. The court staff will also explain the steps allowable by Minnesota statute for the court to collect the fine and fees owing in the event that you do not live up to the payment contract.
Where can I pay my fine?Fine payments may be paid during normal office hours at the Kandiyohi County Courthouse or paid online.
What is Community Service Work and how does it work?Community Service Work (CSW) is a court-imposed condition intended to serve as both a consequence and a restorative gesture to the community in which an offense has been committed. CSW can also be imposed to satisfy a fine condition in cases where an offender is unable to financially meet the fine obligation. At present, offenders perform CSW at designated work sites that are non-profit, governmental, educational or charitable organizations. Participants are screened for appropriateness for the program and work sites. The offender's account is credited $6.00 per hour for each hour of work performed. Community Corrections administers the Community Service Work Program.
How do I post bail or bond?In the event that you have been arrested prior to your first court appearance, the court may order a bail amount be paid or that a bond be posted for your release pending future court proceedings. Bail and/or bonds may be posted at the Kandiyohi County Jail. Bond agents must be authorized by the state. The Jail will only accept authorized bonds. Bail may be accepted in the form of money orders, cash or certified checks. Jail administration must authorize personal checks.
How can I get a vehicle released from impound?Vehicles are only released to the registered owner. All vehicles must provide proper vehicle registration prior to the release of a motor vehicle from an impound lot. Vehicles are released during regular business hours Monday through Friday. The impound lot may require additional fees for after hours, weekend or holiday releases. Please contact your local law enforcement agency for more information.
What do I do if there is a bench warrant issued for my arrest?If there is a bench warrant for your arrest, you may turn yourself in on any weekday at the Law Enforcement Center, in Willmar. Your case will then be heard at 11:00 a.m. the same day or the next day at the Kandiyohi County Courthouse, 505 Becker Ave. S.W., Willmar, MN.

Mists of Pandaria is fast approaching. Let's take a look at how the Holy Paladin is shaping up in the expansion. There are a lot of changes to WoW, but in a way the Holy Paladin really isn't changing. It will play very similarly to the Cataclysm Holy Paladin.
Here are some changes to keep in mind:
- Judgment - You no longer need to judge. It does not return mana or give haste anymore. You can pretty much drop this button.
- No More Auras - The auras have been removed. Aura Mastery has been renamed Devotion Aura, but works as a damage reduction cooldown. Crusader Aura has become a paladin-only passive. The Seals now occupy the same UI space.
- Store Up to 5 Holy Power - You can store up to five Holy Power, though you can still only spend a maximum of three. So you can effectively bank two Holy Power for emergencies.
- Intellect Does Not Give Mana - Intellect no longer increases your mana pool. Your mana pool will be fixed in size at max level for the full expansion. This makes Intellect slightly less valuable (though still very valuable because it gives you spell power), and Spirit more valuable.
- Holy Radiance - Holy Radiance works slightly differently. There is no HoT, and the target gets twice as much healing as the other people. You still want to cast it on different targets in succession, but it won't be wasted if you cast it on the same target twice in a row.
- Light of Dawn - Light of Dawn is not a targeted cone anymore. Instead it's an AoE all around the paladin.
- Denounce - Apparently we get a spammable nuke in Denounce. Probably is our primary damage spell for soloing.
- Talent Trees - The old talent trees are gone. Pretty much all the important abilities have been rolled into the base Holy Paladin, and we have new abilities in the new Talent structure. I'll look at the talent tree in a future post.
- Glyphs - Prime glyphs are gone, only major and minor glyphs remain. Vital Prime glyphs (such as Seal of Insight) have been rolled into the base spell.

|ACH Employee Death in the News
By now, many of you have read or heard about the unfortunate loss of one of our outpatient therapists on the St. Petersburg campus. (See story in 3/30/11 St. Petersburg Times.) While still under investigation, the suspected cause of death is related to a blood infection that may lead to meningitis. Since this employee had not actively seen patients or been at work for a week prior to her death, the number of those who were potentially exposed is limited - less than 15 patients and families, several dozen immediate co-workers.
The measures taken by All Children's to date were designed to safeguard the health of ALL of our patients, their families and our staff.
We want to assure everyone that those patients, families and co-workers who were at risk of exposure have all been contacted directly by All Children's Hospital staff. They have been counseled and offered (when appropriate) preventive antibiotics at the hospital's expense.
If you have not been contacted directly by All Children's Hospital, your child was not a patient of this therapist and therefore is not at risk of exposure.
This infection, while very serious, is not transmitted easily - like a cold or the flu can be.
It doesn't live on surfaces, furniture or equipment. It can't survive in air conditioning units or air handlers.
There is no reason to fear being in any All Children's facility where outpatient therapies and visits are routinely offered - or in the hospital itself.
Even if a patient or co-worker of this therapist came in contact with others, this would not be considered an exposure risk.
As an example, doctors and nurses who treat patients in the hospital for this type of infection routinely do many tasks without exposing themselves to risk of infection. Physically examining an infected patient who already has symptoms is not considered an exposure risk unless the patient coughs or sneezes directly into the caregiver's face. Performing a lumbar puncture (or spinal tap) to draw spinal fluid for lab testing is not considered an exposure risk.
Further, even if a patient or co-worker of this therapist had been exposed to the organism in question, they could not immediately pass it along to someone else. It takes time for the organism to multiply within that patient's body before they can pass it along to someone else.
Please be assured that All Children's is diligently working to protect the health of our valued patients, their families and our staff.

AAA members Kenneth Broad and Ben Orlove participated in a showcase of NSF-funded Hazard Research on Capitol Hill last week in recognition of National Preparedness Month (September).
The showcase took place at the Hart Senate Office Building where members of Congress and their staffers could drop-in to learn about the important use of NSF funding.
Broad and Orlove are part of a dynamic research team that studies how natural hazard warnings can be improved. Joined by Robert Meyer, Shuyi Chen, Jay Baker and Katherine Thompson, this team seeks to understand how the public interprets and responds to information about natural hazards.
Our study integrated innovative social science research methods to identify patterns in behavioral strategies in the face of disaster forecasts, risk factors and means of improving communicating forecasts.
In order to best serve the people of the United States in the face of natural hazards, further research is needed to understand the influence of mass media, social interactions, and past experience with false alarms, on public response to forecasting.

Jarvis comes in for the injured Adam Jones (knee) after showing great form for Ospreys up front. Jarvis, born and bred in England, qualifies through his Welsh grandmother.
Wales are also without flank Dan Lydiate (ankle) and outside centre Jonathan Davies (groin). Josh Turnbull and Scott Williams start in their spots respectively.
A timely boost is the inclusion of inside centre Jamie Roberts, who last played for the Dragons in March.

Release Cycle
Since the engine has been stabilized and has become rather feature complete, we now work with a varying release cycle, normally but not necessarily around 2 months. Please check the calendar below for the next dates. See blog post about activity in Activiti project for some more insides.
Then there is 1 week we call the release-week. The release week starts on the code freeze day. On the morning after the code freeze day, a tag is created for the release. It is assumed that all coding work has been completed by that time, but practice learns that this should be checked with the group ;-) After the versions are updated on the branch, we start with pointing the continuous integration jobs to the branch and start smoke testing. Once that is OK, the publishing of the release can begin.
Issue tracker
See the Activiti project in the codehaus JIRA.

[edit] About Permalinking Functionality
LexisNexis Academic has now been enhanced to provide permanent document-level links. With this functionality, you can easily return to a document via a stable URL.
[edit] Ways to Use Permanent Links
Common ways to use Permanent Links:
- Bookmark a document in your web browser for later use and easy access
- Add document-level permanent links to user guides or course syllabi
- Share links with your friends on Social Media
- E-mail links to yourself instead of full documents
[edit] How to Access Permalinks in LexisNexis Academic
The first rule of Permalinking is: do not copy and paste the URL that appears in your browser window. Most of the time, the URL that appears in the browser window is dynamic and not stable for later use. To access permanent URLs, follow these simple directions:
- Run a search, using any search form in LexisNexis Academic.
- Click on a document in the results list.
- You will see the Icon Bar (as shown on the right) appear in the top right corner of your document.
- Click the Permalink icon (as indicated by the arrow in the image to the right.)
[edit] Availability
This functionality is available on most documents in LexisNexis Academic. However, there are certain documents for which a permanent URL is not available. For example, Company Dossier reports do not offer the Permalink icon. For these documents, the permalink icon will simply not appear in document view.
[edit] Accessibility
Only users that have been IP authenticated by LexisNexis will be able to access the documents. This means that if a customer is accessing the documents remotely from an off-campus location, they will have to log into their institution's library portal before the links will be accessible. For more information, see our About Subscription Links article.
[edit] Permanent Links to Search Forms
Permanent links directly to Search Forms are now also available for LexisNexis Academic. Most search forms will now include a chain link icon in the top right of the title bar. Click the icon to copy a permanent URL back to the search form. This is useful for directing users to a more advanced search form, like PowerSearch.

Recent Traction Device Reviews
Yaktrax XTR Extreme
I have to agree with several of the poorer reviews regarding this product. Not having a chain joining the two traction plates allowed them to move around causing the traction spikes to line up incorrectly on the foot. This constant movement of the plates also causes excess strain on the link that joins the chains to the rubber/grommet causing some of those links to start opening up. I bought these a few weeks ago to take along while snowshoeing so when trail conditions warranted, I could use these… Full review
Kahtoola Microspikes
Superior grip and stability This product really saved me on my recent trip to the Long Trail, Vt., in January. Slipped right on, in the dark, -5 degrees with cold numb hands. Just make sure you practice putting them on and off a few times at home so you get the drill. Once they were on, I didn't slip once on snow, ice, or rock... and this was up Mt. Mansfield for the first 6 miles. Apply some Maxiglide or other wax to the spikes so as not to gather ice and debris. Also, there is a left and right… Full review
Snowline Chainsen Pro
The best ice traction pull-ons I have found so far, much tougher than the others. A notch or two shy of crampons in a packable size and weight. The roads, sidewalks, and trails can get seriously icy here in Trondheim, with at least two consequences: an upsurge in emergency room visits (our neighbor actually broke her femur taking her son across the street to the school bus), and brisk sales in all kinds of traction devices (brodder in Norwegian). The cheapest and most common type have studs set… Full review
Kahtoola Microspikes
Well worth having for any type of hiking! I use these 100% of the time and they are a necessity for winter hikes. The Microspikes are not only a necessity but imitation spikes absolutely do not hold up to these. The benefit of having these on during a winter hike or even just around the campsite is tremendous. I suggest everyone has a pair and don't debate whether you should wear them or not, just put them on! Great product. Full review
Kahtoola Microspikes
The Microspikes are incredibly handy, easy to put on and take off. When they are on the snow, ice, scree are no problem nor do they slow down your hike. I never had a pair of track shoes or spikes, so I didn't know what to expect. I knew I had to get something because with only my hiking shoes on hard snow and ice I was sliding and falling. I had no traction nor was I having a good time on winter hikes. Even hiking in scree I had traction problems. Several hikers I was with suggested getting traction… Full review
Kahtoola Microspikes
In northern Vermont, our "between seasons" hikes can be marked by variable conditions, including frozen ground, ice, glazed snow, or anything else Mother Nature throws at ice. Footing can be quite treacherous, even on local trail networks; the Kahtoola Microspikes have allowed us to hike longer hikes, more challenging hikes, and in conditions where without the spikes, we would have stayed at home. The spikes are easy to put on; back is marked clearly, and the front has a bar (though sometimes I… Full review
Kahtoola Microspikes
Easy to put on, good traction in snow and ice, stays put. I love to hike during the winter. What I don't love is falling on the ice. Almost every time I have hiked in snow and ice, I have slipped onto my butt at least once. That is until I purchased the The Kahtoola MICROspikes. My first time out on them, I had to pave a trail in the newly fallen snow. Not so bad until I got to the steep part. The Kahtoola spikes kept me from slipping even once. I love how easy the rubber upper attaches to my Ahnu… Full review
Kako IceTrekkers Chains
We have had four pairs of Ice Trekkers for three years now. This season the rear ring on five individual chains has broken. Anyone else have this problem? Are replacement rings available? Full review
Yaktrax XTR Extreme
Fell apart the second time I used them. Seems like a poor design. I bought these last year for a hike in the Adirondacks. They seemed to provide good traction on pretty icy trail up Cascade. Went back this year to do Algonquin and half way up the trail the front section metal pieces ripped off the rubber piece joining them together. I expected them to survive more than two winter hikes.

Ask your average first- or second-year medical student about Constitution Day and one is likely to be met with a reflective pause, followed by a simple question: "What is Constitution Day?"
Constitution Day is an American federal holiday that recognizes the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. It is observed on Sept. 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the document in 1787. The law establishing Constitution Day as a holiday was created in 2004. In May 2005, the U.S. Department of Education announced the enactment of this law and that it would apply to any school receiving federal funds of any kind.
Though it is a relatively new holiday, more and more educational institutions have taken major steps to incorporate discussion about the U.S. Constitution and the government. This September at LECOM, U.S. Rep. Phil English, R-Pa., and Michael J. Rigelsky, Esq., visited the school and met with osteopathic and pharmacy students to discuss the 220-year-old document and the government it helped establish.
On Sept. 17, English met with first- and second-year medical students to generate discussion about health care and the decisions they would eventually have to make as professionals.
"Health care today is both urgent and important, and we are approaching a time when we're going to make some hard decisions that will have a profound effect on the design, quality and vitality of our health care system for years to come," English said. "I salute you for being involved with (LECOM) and I salute you for taking this career path at a time when there are many challenges facing health care."
English listed several issues in Congress where health care has taken the forefront. Discussing the future of Medicare, medical malpractice, uninsured Americans and public health reform, English issued a challenge to the future doctors to play an active role in the process of governmental reform and change.
"I invite you in your professional careers to be aware, be active and stay involved," English said. "Whatever party, affiliation or issues you get involved in, it is essential that you, as professionals, get involved."
English also took questions from the students and took some time to meet with LECOM's Student Government Association.
On Sept. 21, during the orientation for the first-year pharmacy students, Rigelsky took time to talk about the Constitution and how it applies to people living in 21st century America. Rigelsky, who practices in the litigation and business law sections of Manchester, Bennett, Powers & Ullman, L.P.A., provided common situations that illustrated how Constitutional rights are exercised and how U.S. citizens are protected – or not protected – by those laws.
He referenced the ongoing debate in this country about a person's right to privacy, the government's rights and the interpretation of laws and Constitutional amendments. Throughout his interactive presentation, he regularly called on students to get their impression of how the Constitution works, specifically in regard to the creation of legislation and the balance of power between the three branches of government.
While students may not have known about Constitution Day prior to Sept. 17, both English and Rigelsky helped cement the holiday – and the lessons its creation was intended to bestow – in their minds.

It has to be Jon Snow. it has to be.
He gets cut down at the end of Dance, but I don't think he stays dead. I strongly suspect Mel resurrects him with the Red Kiss next book (thanks madkasel). then he will fulfill her prophecy form Clash: AA will be reborn amid salt and smoke under the bloody star to wake the dragon from stone.
Jon's wounds are smoking in the cold - Bowen Marsh is weeping and teh giant is swining the dead knight overhead - his sigil being a star. i can't figure out the dragon bit yet - but I think Jon doesn't stay dead and I think he's AA.
Dany has a really strong case too - and she fulfills the bit about waking dargons - but where's the salt? and is the coemt running when she goes into the Pyre?
Davos - risen from salt and smoke under the star on the Blackwater - but he is even farther from any dragons. Plus - he didn't really die.
We all know its not Stannis - I really think its Jon Snow. I really do.

Was NOT a perfect day to handicap base on scores at the 2011 bag tag kickoff.
That wind was a killer for most peoples games
at the same time thats why it was perfect - was windy for everyone
If the cards from the Resolution Open are still available can those be factored in for the handicapping?
"That's what she said."----Michael Scott
Ill take it but I plan never to shoot another 82 wind and freezing or not. I just didnt prepare as I should have, to me it felt like the temperature dropped 20 degrees from the time I left the house to about my 5th hole. Ill over dress from now on and prepare for the worse not hope for the best.
Just finished our first two rounds on the new layout. Scores were awful but will improve in time. Looking forward to seeing the course this Spring/Summer with all of the greenery!
Also, me and my DG buddies would like to meet some of you locals for a few rounds at one of the local courses. Were all AM's but have been playing for quite awhile and would like to see some other people throw. If anyone is up for a round at Severin-Lang on Sunday January 13th, send me a message and maybe we can meet at the park.

Hi Dale, welcome to the site! I would be up for it this Sunday, but our leagues just down the road at the Fun Farm in Lanesville that day. It's $7 to play leagues and it rotates between all the local courses in the winter. Click here to learn more about leagues.
Also, the Fun Farm is a pay to play course since it's on private property. It's just $5 to play and you can play as many rounds that day as you like. So if you make it to leagues, it might be worth showing up early to play a round before leagues or staying late and playing another one after wards.

About Me Budget Shopper
I am a disabled vet with a mail box out front, about 100 ft. The other is at the bottom of my chair ramp, about 60 Ft. I can see both from inside my house. My mail lady puts larger mail in the ramp box. She loves these. I asked all over Huntsville, AL with no help, checked other mail outlets. I knew that I could find them at Drake. I will tell other handicapped people about them. I had to drill two holes for each, but it was easy, I think they will last a long time. By the way, I replaced the yellow ball with a USA Flag ball. My house is decorated with USA Flag objects inside and out.

As of May 2013, Alaska is one of 24 Republican state government trifectas.
Current officer
The current, and 10th, governor of Alaska is Sean Parnell, a member of the Republican Party. Parnell was elected lieutenant governor in 2006 along with Sarah Palin and became the governor upon Palin's resignation on July 26, 2009; he completed her term and ran for the office himself in 2010. He won a full term, which he began serving on December 6, 2010.
Before his election as lieutenant governor, Parnell operated his own private law practice in Anchorage, AL. He earned his J.D. from the Puget Sound School of Law and a B.B.A. from Pacific Lutheran University. He and his wife, Sandy, have two daughters.[1]
The Constitution of Alaska addresses the office of the governor in Article III, the Executive.
Alaska Constitution, Article III, Section 1:
The executive power of the State is vested in the governor.

|Breaking news
Under Article III, Section 6 of the Constitution, the governor may not hold any federal office or any state office in Alaska while serving as governor. Per Section 2 of the same article, the governor must be at least 30 years old, a qualified voter in Alaska, and have been both an American citizen and a resident of Alaska for a minimum of seven years on election day.
Alaska Constitution, Article III, Section 2
The governor shall be at least thirty years of age and a qualified voter of the State. He shall have been a resident of Alaska at least seven years immediately preceding his filing for office, and he shall have been a citizen of the United States for at least seven years.
Alaska Constitution, Article III, Section 6
The governor shall not hold any other office or position of profit under the United States, the State, or its political subdivisions.

Alaska elects governors in federal midterm election years (e.g. 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018). General elections are held on the first Tuesday and the first Monday in November.[2] Winners take office at noon on the first Monday in December following the election, per Article III, Section 4 of the state constitution. Thus, December 6, 2010 and December 1, 2014 are inaugural days.
Term limits
- See also: States with gubernatorial term limits
Alaska governors are restricted to two consecutive terms in office, after which they must wait one term before being eligible to run again.
Alaska Constitution, Article III, Section 5
|No person who has been elected governor for two full successive terms shall be again eligible to hold that office until one full term has intervened.
Partisan composition
The chart below shows the partisan breakdown of Alaska State Governors from 1992-2013.
- See also: How gubernatorial vacancies are filled
Details of vacancy appointments are addressed under Article III, Sections 9 to 14.
In the event that the elected governor is unable to complete her term, the Lieutenant Governor of Alaska assumes the office. The lieutenant governor also becomes acting governor at any time when the elected incumbent is temporarily unable to discharge the office. If the elected governor is continually unable to discharge the office for six months, the office is deemed vacant and the lieutenant governor succeeds to the office.
In the event that a governor-elect dies, resigns, is disqualified, or otherwise does not take office, the individual elected as lieutenant governor shall become the governor.
Any that the lieutenant governor takes over as the governor, she or he serves as the governor for the entire remaining term.
The Governor of Alaska is the commander-in-chief of the state's military forces. The governor has a duty to enforce state laws, and the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Alaska Legislature, to convene the legislature, and to grant pardons, except in cases of impeachment.
Many offices, such as that of the Attorney General, which are elected offices in most states, are gubernatorial appointments in Alaska. The governor has wide latitude is searching for a nominee but must seek legislative confirmation of those nominees. The governor also appoints the officers of most state boards and commissions and has the power to make recess appointments when the legislature is not in session.
The number of departments in Alaska's state government is Constitutionally capped at 20; however, the governor may decrease and increase the numbers of departments within that limit. Some reorganization of the government may be done at the governor's discretion. For changes requiring the force of law, the governor issues an Executive Order; the legislature then has 60 session days to reject the change, done by a majority vote of a joint session. Otherwise, the Executive Order stands and takes effect on a day chosen by the governor.
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- upholding the faithful execution of all Alaska laws and forcing compliance when needed, either through the courts or by legislative action
- convening special sessions of the House, the Senate, or both in a Joint Session
- addressing the legislature at the beginning of each session and at other times he deems necessary, with a description of the current state of Alaska's affairs and with her or his recommendations
- appointing all general and flag officers of Alaska's armed forces
- proclaiming martial law for up to 20 days. (A longer declaration requires a majority vote of the joint legislature.)
- See also: Compensation of state executive officers
In 2012, the Alaska Governor was paid an estimated $145,000. This figure comes from the Council of State Governments.
The governor's pay is set by law and may be changed by the legislature. If the legislature lowers the gubernatorial salary, the pay cut does not take effect until the next gubernatorial term, unless the pay cut applies to all salaried state officers.

Partisan balance 1992-2013
From 1992-2013, there were Democratic governors in office for eight years while there were Republican governors in office for 12 years, including the last 11. Alaska was under a Republican trifecta for the last year of the study period.
Across the country, there were 493 years of Democratic governors (44.82%) and 586 years of Republican governors (53.27%) from 1992-2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states have divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.
