Preston, Lancashire was where the first temperance hotel and periodical was founded.
The Catholic temperance movement started when the Teetotal Abstinence Society was established in 1838 by Theobald Mathew.
Women's Christian Temperance Union
American Temperance Union
Anti - Saloon League This cartoon shows the reason in which the Temperance Movement started. They include many side effects of drinking and explain exactly why many people were against it. Young Men Wanted... The Origins of the Temperance Movement It originated in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Many people in the movement wanted to completely ban all alcoholic drinks. These included hard liquor, beer, and wine. They thought alcohol was the source of social problems like violence, poverty, and crime. Total abstinence from alcohol were very rarely advocated or practiced before the Temperance Movement. It started in the American Revolution. In Connecticut, Virginia, and New York State farmers formed associations to ban whiskey. The movement spread to eight states, rather than abstinence, advocating temperance. In 1826, within 12 years claiming more than 8,000 local groups and over 1,500,000 members, the American Temperance Society was formed. Many different temperance movements started around the 1830s, when they saw a particular growth starting in places including New Zealand and Australia. The Temperance Movement then and Throughout American History The Women in the Movement:Beginning Because the women had no rights at this time, they had to depend mostly on their husbands. With alcohol abuse, the women realized that they could no longer depend on the to provide for their families. So they decided to take a stand and spread the word that alcohol abuse is very effective on their families. Women were the very first leaders of the Temperance Movement. This is an example of a protest. Different Movements Bibliography http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperance_movement
http://www.fasttrackteaching.com/burns/Unit_5_Progressive/U5_Temperance_Movement.html Temperance Movement The Temperance Movement is a movement the urges reduced or prohibited use of alcoholic beverages. These criticize excessive alcohol use and promote complete abstinence. Temperance, by definition, actually means abstinence from alcoholic drink. Today The temperance movement still exists in many parts of the world. However, here in the U.S it is not such a political movement. In the U.S many people still encourage temperance for drugs, smoking, alcohol, etc. Even though the Temperance Movement is not strong on alcohol but temperance is strong on smoking, drugs, etc. There are still many people that encourage the prohibition of alcohol. Most of it though focuses on drunk driving and not just drinking. On television you will see the commercials about people getting pulled over because of driving drunk. This is like present day temperance, but with drunk driving and not just drinking. You can also see the commercials about smoking. They show you people who have been smoking their whole life and they are now living miserable lives. That is an example of temperance for smoking. There are many organizations that promote teens or other age groups to not drink and drive. One is S.A.D.D.: Students Against Drunk Driving, or better known as Students Against Destructive Decisions. It is a peer, nonprofit organization where students try to encourage other people to not drive drunk. They have recently changed their logo because they are now working on other things besides drunk driving such as smoking,tobacco, drugs, etc. This is the Students Against Drunk Driving logo. Another organization is M.A.D.D.: Mothers Against Drunk Driving. They are also a peer organization that promotes not driving drunk. They were created in then1980s so they are a little old. But they are still here today. They are basically the same thing as S.A.D.D. The downfall of the Temperance movement was in the 1930s. The main reason it fell was because prohibition of alcohol was repealed. The legislative tide largely moved away from prohibition when it was repealed and the gradual relaxation of licensing laws throughout the mid and late twentieth century. However, temperance did continue in foreign countries. Prohibition Prohibition is the legal act of banning the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol or alcoholic beverages. It was a big part of the Temperance Movement. It did not make drinking illegal; it just made the sale and manufacture of alcohol and alcoholic beverages illegal. It tried to make any alcohol business stop and not sell alcohol. The reason is simple. Too many Americans were drinking too much alcohol. Almost everyone was drinking it and many were drinking it to excess. By 1830, the average American over 15 years of age consumed nearly seven gallons of pure alcohol a year. That is three times as much of what we drink today! So they had a reason for putting this law on alcohol. They didn't just put it on alcohol for no good reason. And the reason was a very good reason. They did not want their people to become people who are drunk all the time. This picture explains itself. It is men dumping a big barrel of alcohol into the sewage drain. It is during the time when prohibition was across the nation and alcohol was banned. You can see in the background the police officer who is making sure that the alcohol is really going down. Prohibition's strength grew especially with the organizations that came about. One of those organizations was the Anti-Saloon League. They came about in 1893. They were an organization who promoted prohibition throughout the United States. They came to be the most powerful prohibition lobby in America. Another group was the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. It was the first mass organization among women devoted to social reform with a program that "linked the religious and the secular through concerted and far-reaching reform strategies based on applied Christianity". This is the logo of the woman's Christian Temperance Union. Of course there was a decline on prohibition and the Temperance movement. The repeal was on Dec. 5, 1933. The United States realized that they made a big mistake. It was said that President Roosevelt said that if he became president, he would repeal prohibition. Many people said that crime was coming about. People tried to dodge the law and sell alcohol. That is why they repealed the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. http://images.google.com/search?hl=en&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=623&q=Prohibition&oq=Prohibition&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1843.4270.0.4722.214.171.124.184.108.40.206.322.214.171.124...0.0...1ac.1.6.img.B3wvQD5-56c http://images.google.com/search?hl=en&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=623&q=Prohibition&oq=Prohibition&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1843.4270.0.4718.104.22.168.126.96.36.199.3220.127.116.11...0.0...1ac.1.6.img.B3wvQD5-56c#hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=S.A.D.D.+LOGO&oq=S.A.D.D.+LOGO&gs_l=img.3...149629.155547.0.15618.104.22.168.0.0.0.121.904.11j2.13.0...0.0...1c.1.6.img.gG0JyvmbmJE&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.43828540,d.aWc&fp=a39f77dfadb30e11&biw=1280&bih=623 http://images.google.com/search?hl=en&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=623&q=Prohibition&oq=Prohibition&gs_l=img.3..0l10.1843.4270.0.4718.104.22.168.220.127.116.11.322.214.171.124...0.0...1ac.1.6.img.B3wvQD5-56c#hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=M.A.D.D.&oq=M.A.D.D.&gs_l=img.3..0i10i24j0i24j0i10i24j0i24l3j0i10i24l2j0i24j0i10i24.80572.84069.2.842188.8.131.52.0.0.0.68.3184.108.40.206...0.0...1c.1.6.img.Ma4Po52tpgk&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.43828540,d.aWc&fp=a39f77dfadb30e11&biw=1280&bih=623 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition The Middle Phase: 1840-1860 The middle phase was a time when the middle- class was trying to get rid of alcohol. This middle-class included different artisans and women. These women promoted groups for help to largely working-class drunkyards who wanted the help they were offered. This image describes the temperance movement and how the women wanted nothing to do with the alcohol, so they had it taken away. The Washingtonian Society
This was a group of people, mostly women, who wanted the men around them to live without alcohol. They were sick and tired of dealing with abuse and harm from their husbands. The group name was named after President Washington. The very first Washingtonian Society group was established in Boston. The members did not drink ANY alcohol. Their goal was to attempt to reform alcoholics that wanted to be freed from the harms of alcohol. The drunkyards were to take teetotalism (a word derived from total+total= abstinence). By 1841, Washington Society's were found in Baltimore, Boston, New York, and other Northern cities. Washingtonians wanted respect from the middle-class temperance reformers. The members elected mainstream temperance movement. Wage earners and reformed drunkyards remained in their own society. The temperance reform in this period represented a "symbolic crusade." Maine law interpreted as a way fro middle-class reformers to control and reform the laboring poor. Many local laws were passed attempting to limit the consumption levels of alcohol. Throughout time, statutes were repealed, liberalized, and unenforced. Temperance Documentary This documentary was made by delizon5. Interview with PT Barnum
Interviewer: Hello listeners. I am here today with the ever so great PT Barnum, an American showman who is best remembered for his entertaining hoaxes and for founding the circus that would eventually become the Ringling Bros. and Barnum& Bailey Circus. I have just a few basic questions to ask our guest today. One, give us a little information of your background. How was life growing up?
Barnum: Pleasure to be her today. I, Phineas Taylor Barnum was born in Bethel, Connecticut July 5, 1810. My father, Philo Barnum, was an Inn-keeper, a tailor, and a store-keeper. My mother, Irene Taylor, was the wife of 10 kids. I was very addept at arithmetic, but i never like physical work. I married Charity Hallett when i was 19.
I: And you guys were together for the next 5o years of your life; so sweet. Now tell me a bit of your careers starting out.
B: As a young husband, I was very busy with several businesses. Some of them included having a general store, a book auctioning trade, real estate speculation, and a state-wide lottery network. I was quite active in local politics. In 1829, I started up my own weekly paper, The Herald of Freedom.
I: Now I understand shortly after this, lotteries were banned i Connecticut. How did this impact your life in Connecticut?
B: Because of the new ruling, I was forced to move to New York City. My main source of income was now cut off and I needed a new way to make some money. It was in the city where I began my career as a showman with my slave woman, Joice Heth.
I: By this time, what did you know about the Temperance movement?
B: I did not know much about the temperance movement. Only, what I heard about in the papers. My life soon was involved in the movement after hearing a temperance lecture and seeing people sign the 'teetotal pledge' (which was abstaining completely from alcohol).
I: And what did you do for your part?
B: After hearing about the horrible abuse and horror alcoholism brought to women and children, i decided to take action. I became a lecturer myself, mostly to get out of debt. Being that I was a performer at heart, I did quite well at giving lectures and putting on shows. I woned a museum where i only served ice water. There, i would put on plays about temperance. I was also invoolved in politics and left my feloow democrats for not believing in The movement. I eventually switched to the Republican party and followed Abraham Lincoln.
I: It seems you had a very strong impact on the movement. Did you have any major role models in your life?
B: My maternal grandfather, Phineas Taylor, was a famous wag, landowner, justice of peace, and lottery schemer. He had a very great influence on my and my life.
I: So, you seemed to follow in your family's footsteps in some of your early on jobs. When did you die, and what did you leave the rest of the world with your death?
B: I died in my sleep on April 7th, 1891. I was buried in Mountain Grove Cemetery, Bridgeport, Connecticut, which I happened to design myself. A statue was placed in my honor in 1893. My circus was sold to the Ringling Brothers in 1907 for $400,000. I believe I lived a strong and very powerful life. My influence on others involving the Temperance movement was very powerful back then, just as it is now, in the present time.
I: I thank you for your time. http://www.thecarolinascoop.com/ptbarnum.html

Iraqis impose curfew after attack on shrine
Thu., June 14, 2007
BAGHDAD – Iraq's government on Wednesday imposed a three-day curfew throughout the country and braced for violence after two thunderous explosions collapsed the remaining minarets of a prominent Shiite shrine whose bombing 15 months ago triggered an orgy of sectarian reprisals that continue to this day.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki angrily summoned the ministers of defense and interior to his office and ordered the detention of the mixed group of Iraqi soldiers and police who were on guard at the time of the explosions.
Officials close to al-Maliki said the prime minister had heard two weeks ago that an attack on the mosque might be imminent, but that the two ministers, who oversee the army and the police, had assured him that everything was under control.
Police attributed the explosions that toppled the minarets to incoming mortar rounds, but witnesses said the blasts came from inside the mosque compound and al-Maliki aides said they did not believe the police account. A U.S. military official told CNN he believed the bombing was an inside job.
The shrine, known as the al Askariya Mosque, has held a special place in the iconography of Iraqi violence since its gold dome was destroyed in a huge explosion Feb. 22, 2006. That explosion fueled what was already a rising trend of reprisal killings between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.
Hundreds of Iraqis were killed in the days after the bombing. More than a hundred Sunni mosques in Baghdad were attacked and burned, sending smoke throughout the city, and truckloads of militiamen waving Mahdi Army flags and rocket-propelled grenade launchers took to the streets.
In comparison, the response to Wednesday's blast was muted. Gunmen sprayed bullets at four Sunni mosques in the southern port city of Basra, and Shiite militiamen and Sunni guards battled at a fifth.
In Iskandiriya, south of Baghdad, three Sunni mosques were bombed, witnesses said. Provincial police did not confirm or deny the reports. In Baghdad, Sunni mosques were attacked in the Jihad and Zaiyuna neighborhoods, according to witnesses.
Al-Maliki traveled to Samarra with Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno, the No. 2 U.S. commander in Iraq, to survey the damage. He said the attack came two days before a contract was to be signed to rebuild the shrine.
"By God's will we will rebuild the honorable shrine," al-Maliki said in front of the rubble of the destroyed holy site. "I call upon all Iraqis, Sunnis and Shiites, to assume responsibility … and don't allow space for those that want to start a war that no one will win."
Al-Maliki's calls for calm were joined by similar pleas from a variety of Iraqi and American officials. Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the top Shiite religious figure, called for "believers to be patient and control themselves and to avoid revenge attacks."

So excited!!
Ethan is the youngest child on my moms side of the family by about a year. Sadly, the one that's closest in age lives in Washington, and we live in Texas =( Other than that, the closest in age is like 8. But a couple months ago, we learned that not one, but THREE of my cousins are pregnant!! All due within 2 weeks of each other. So exciting! Two are due on the same day (what are the odds), both having girls and one 2 weeks later. Should find out the gender next week.
On another note, need prayers (or if not religious, good thoughts). One of them just had their blood tests and one came back abnormal. There is a 1 in 200 chance the baby might have down syndrome. They took more blood and did another test that will tell more certain. Hopefully we hear back soon. My poor cousin is so worried. =(
Re: So excited!!
Congrats on all the little babies due in your family, glad Ethan will have more playmates soon. My thoughts & prayers are with your cousin, though I'm sure she will love the baby regardless medical issues are always scary & tough to deal with. I hope everything turns out well for her.
Re: So excited!!
Of course, everyone is going to love the baby regardless of the condition. I just meant it's a scary time for her. Thankfully, the tests came back this morning and everything is completely fine.
Re: So excited!!
Congrats on the new arrivals that will be coming soon. If the baby does have downs at least they will know in advance and prepare for the outcome. I am a mom with a child with a genetic disorder and I didn't know anything about it until he was 8 weeks old. I know it can be frightening but it gets better. My son is 4 now and he acts like any other 4 year old. So good always come out of our special children!
Re: So excited!!
Congrats on all of the babies! My sister and SIL are both pregnant, sister due in February and SIL is due in June (it was a HUGE surprise...lol), I am so excited because while I want another, I don't want another for at least a year and this will hopefully keep my baby fever down some :)
Glad to hear that your cousin's baby is ok, that is scary! I'm sure she felt a huge weight had been lifted off of her shoulders!

TAMPA, Fla. -- Pittsburgh Penguins rookie center Sidney Crosby might miss Sunday's game at Tampa Bay with a bruised left foot.
Crosby was hit in the foot by a shot during the third period of
the Penguins' 6-3 loss Friday night at Florida. He did not take
part in practice Saturday and is listed as questionable by the team.
Crosby said Saturday the foot was better, but still a little stiff.
"We'll see ... I think it depends on the swelling," Crosby
said of whether he will play against the defending Stanley Cup
champion Lightning. "If it's swollen like this, we'll probably
just wait. If it's still swollen, and because it's swollen, the
left foot probably doesn't fit in a skate."
X-rays found no fractures. The primary treatment for the injury
has been icing the foot.
Crosby has 12 goals and 28 points in 23 games this season. He
has scored a goal in each of his last five games.

Kal Lebanon cartoon
Last March I had the opportunity to visit Beirut. There I was able to see up close the impressive redevelopment of Lebanon since the war that devastated the country in the 1980's. I was also keenly aware of the tensions that currently lie just beneath the surface of this beautiful yet potentially explosive land.
My visit helped inform this cartoon that I drew for this week's edition of The Economist. There is no question that visiting the Middle East has made me feel more connected to the stories playing out in the region.No comments
Kal visits the Middle East
From March 12- 23rd I had the great pleasure to visit Amman, Jordan and Beirut, Lebanon as part of the Strategic Speakers initiative sponsored by the US Embassies in the region. Â The purpose of my visit was to meet and talk with a wide array of citizen groups about issues surrounding freedom of expression and how cartoons and animation can promote social and political change.
It was an exhilarating and educational experience for me. I addressed students on six campuses, enjoyed panel discussions with cartoon and animator colleagues, met with local civic leaders and enjoyed exhibition openings in several venues.
I was left with a wide variety of impressions… I would like to share a few. Read more3 comments

Globalization is a process by which money, labor, goods, and services move easily across international boundaries. Globalization requires that goods and services be produced where costs are lowest, and then sold wherever profits are highest. Capitalists and workers alike should be free to produce a product (or increase the value of their labor) wherever they can. They should then be free to sell this product (or their labor) where it can bring them the greatest profit. NAFTA allows the free movement of goods and capital, but obstructs the free movement of labor. This deviation helps create the problem of undocumented immigration.

Nationalism is an ideology which holds that individuals owe loyalty to their nation and that each nation should give preference to its citizens. Nationalism promotes a strong sense of belonging based on a shared national culture, glorifying myths, core values, and a common identity. It is a glue that holds a people together. But it also inspires many to act out against "outsiders," or those considered different. Today we see nationalism used to attack "illegal aliens" and to argue that immigrants are ruining "our way of life" (American culture).
Source: Chad Richardson, University of Texas at Pan American
Globalization is dramatically increasing. Free trade creates major market changes. To stay competitive, employers seek for ever cheaper labor. This leads them to take jobs overseas or to draw immigrants to the U.S. While some U.S. jobs are eliminated (or replaced by immigrant labor), new jobs are created at increasingly higher levels of skill and education.
Nationalism is also increasing. The changes brought by globalization (job loss and new waves of immigrant labor) lead to fears and resentment against "outsiders." These fears are being exploited by politicians and media outlets who promote immigrant bashing and alarmist legislation.

The federal government has stepped up its actions against employers in recent years (Pew Hispanic Center 2007). Some recent enforcement actions couple workplace raids with the criminal prosecution of employers who are alleged to have knowingly hired undocumented immigrants. Among the high-profile actions of this sort are the filing of charges this year against the owners and managers of AgriProcessors, a meatpacker based in Postville, Iowa, and in 2006 against the managers of IFCO Systems, a wood pallet maker with corporate headquarters in Houston."

At the national level, almost no evidence indicates that immigrants impose net burdens on taxpayers at the federal level. In fact, Espenshade shows that immigrants provide a substantial fiscal surplus (e.g., $30 Billion "surplus" account of the Social Security Administration.[Thomas J. Espenshade, "Unauthorized immigration to the United States, Annual Review of Sociology, 21, (1995): 195]
Comptroller of Public Accounts in Texas, 2005
The Comptroller's office estimates the absence of the estimated 1.4 million undocumented immigrants in Texas in fiscal 2005 would have been a loss to our Gross State Product of $17.7 billion.
Also, the Comptroller's office estimates that state revenues collected from undocumented immigrants exceed what the state spent on services, with the difference being $424.7 million.
The Comptroller estimates that undocumented immigrants paid more than $513 million in fiscal 2005 in local taxes, including city, county and special district sales and property taxes.
While state revenues exceed state expenditures for undocumented immigrants, local governments and hospitals experience the opposite, with outlays exceeding tax revenues in 2005.

Misconception 2: Backlash"They Commit More Crimes"
Rebecca Clark and Scott Anderson found that almost half (47 percent) of illegal alien federal prisoners are in prison for an offense that only applies to them (unlawfully entering the United States). This "crime" is generally seen as an administrative, not a criminal, violation.

An extensive body of research shows that while the undocumented do take some jobs desired by U.S. workers, they also create many jobs.
A University of Illinois at Chicago study, for example, found that undocumented workers spend almost $3 billion a year in the Chicago region as consumers, which provides jobs to those who provide these goods or services.
The contribution of all Latino immigrants, of course, is much greater. In 2004 the Inter-American Development Bank, based on survey and census data, reported that Latin American immigrants (legal and undocumented) in 2004 contributed an estimated $450 billion to the U.S. economy, often doing jobs spurned by others.

Seven-year property plan would transform economy
Ten years since the madness began in 2004, now is a good time to take stock -- and action
SO HERE it is, 2014 is upon us and an economic recovery is in full swing. Or is it?
As one minister put it, the question is not whether the economy is recovering, but for whom it is recovering. For half a million households in negative equity and a third of a million in unemployment, it is hard to see reasons to cheer in the new year. Which is why the Government should now finish the job it started two years ago. It should never again rely on property or construction (this point needs repeating) but neither can the economy recover without those sectors, and 2014 is the ideal year to design and implement a thorough seven-year plan to get them back to normal.
And 2014 is ideal because it's 10 years since the insanity that caused the crisis began. While imperfect -- competitiveness had been eroded, property prices were modestly overvalued and construction mildly overextended -- 2004 was nonetheless the last year of sanity: government spending in 2004 remained below 40 per cent of GNP; house price growth was in modest single digits; and one in 10 of the workforce was working in construction -- high (the EU average norm is one in 14) but reasonable given large infra- structure spending and a growing population.

Curoyze Spelling Variations
Curoyze Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years the English language had no fixed system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations occurred commonly in Anglo Norman surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Curoyze were recorded, including Curtis, Curtiss, Curtyss, Curtys, Curtess, Curtes, Cortes, Cortis and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The unstable environment in England at this time caused numerous families to board ships and leave in search of opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad in places like Ireland, Australia, and particularly the New World. The voyage was extremely difficult, however, and only taken at great expense. The cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels caused many to arrive diseased and starving, not to mention destitute from the enormous cost. Still opportunity in the emerging nations of Canada and the United States was far greater than at home and many went on to make important contributions to the cultures of their adopted countries. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Curoyze arrived in North America very early: Deodate Curtis who settled in Braintree in the state of Maine in 1643. Henry Curtis settled in Windsor in 1645; and another Henry Curtis settled in Sudbury in 1636. No fewer than 12 notable settlers settled in the New Colonies within the period from 1630 to 1680.

This week SCC member Mark Doland was sworn in as a Mahaska County Supervisor. Mark won the seat by a razor thin margin in a special election. The election is notable because, newly-elected GOP Senator Ken Rozenboom who held the supervisor seat previously, publicly endorsed Mark's Democrat opponent in the last days leading up to the election. Doland had initially intended to run against Rozenboom for the Senate seat but withdrew. At the time Doland endorsed Rozenboom and publicly expressed interest in the supervisor seat.
The endorsement came only a few days before the special election. There was some informal discussion on the SCC about how to respond to a GOP senator endorsing a Democrat supervisor candidate against a GOP challenger. Given the timeframe, it was not possible to call a special meeting of the SCC. So the party leadership responded and AJ Spiker made a robo-call into Mahaska County urging Republicans to get out and vote for Doland.
… AJ Spiker chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa, and I'm calling to urge you to vote for Mark Doland, the Republican candidate running for Mahaska County Supervisor. The election is tomorrow, Tuesday, January 29th and the Republican in this race, Mark Doland supports the conservative values of less government and lower taxes. So, please come out tomorrow, Tuesday, January 29th and vote for Mark Doland the Republican candidate for Mahaska County Supervisor.
This message was paid for by the Republican Party of Iowa, not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.
When ballots came in, Doland had a 16 vote lead. After absentee ballots were resolved Doland won by a 21 vote margin. In a race this close, the robo-call very likely made a difference. If not putting Doland over the edge, at least padding the margin so there was no recount.
So, what's the problem? The problem is that I have been getting calls and Facebook messages from Republicans demanding to know whether I voted for RPI to spend money in this county race. The people who contacted me are upset because they feel that county races are not in RPI's purview, and that since Doland is on the SCC it was somehow unethical for RPI to get involved in his race. None of the people who contacted me expressed any concern about Rozenboom endorsing the Democrat in the race. Some expressed concerns that this was just another case of Ron Paul supporters in the SCC funneling money to one of their own. (Doland actually worked on the Bachmann campaign.)
I was at a county central committee meeting this week and a couple of the attendees asked me about factions within our party. I said that the factions were as divided as I can remember. To my fellow Iowa Republicans, let me make this plea:
The caucuses are over, 2012 is over. In 2014 we will have an open US Senate seat and possibly two open US House seats, we will have a governor's race along with all the other statewide races. The entire Iowa House will be up for re-election along with half of the Iowa Senate. This is not the time for in-fighting. A robust primary season in 2014 will be healthy for our party — if when it is done, we come together to turn Iowa red. 2014 will be all hands-on-deck, the staked are too high, we must work together to win.
The decision to get RPI involved in this race was made by the RPI leadership, the SCC could not have met the 10-day notice requirement to meet and act between the Rozenboom endorsement and the election. AJ Spiker is entirely responsible for getting RPI involved in the Mahaska County race.
In the end, the Republican Party of Iowa did something that everyone says we never do. RPI provided support to a GOP candidate in a county race. That support may just have helped put our candidate over the top. RPI's actions were meaningful and relevant and resulted in a GOP victory. Instead of celebrating, some Republicans across the state are complaining.
The grassroots of this party choose the candidates and the leadership works to see them elected. It's time to take off the tinfoil hats. I have and will be critical of our leadership when they deserve it but I will praise them when they succeed as well. AJ, thank you for your leadership — a job well done!

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/294,444 filed May 30, 2001.
The present invention relates to a rack for supporting and storing objects and more specifically to a battery rack system and apparatus having a plurality of compartments for supporting batteries and other heavy objects designed to survive seismic forces during earth tremors and the like. The invention relates specifically to frames forming part of what is known as an uninterruptable power source.
There is a need, particularly in the telecommunications industries, for a back up power source to maintain operations when the primary power source shuts down. These systems generally comprises a plurality of valve regulated lead acid batteries (VRLA) generally of a two volt size which are typically connected in series in various numbers, for example 24, to provide or define a 48 volt system. These batteries are typically constructed of polypropylene jars which is a relatively soft material similar to milk jugs and a cover mounting the leads connected to the jar by a seam. These jars generally require an exterior shell for protection as well as pressure control. It has been found that without compression, these batteries tend to bulge thereby diminishing capacity.
In accordance with a known prior art system, the batteries are stored or placed in multi-cavity modules or trays which are stacked, one on top of the other and secured to one another to provide an array of assembled trays and batteries totaling the requisite number for a given system such as 24 batteries for a 48 volt system.
An important criteria for systems of this type is that the support structures function to support the heavy loads and be reliable particularly in times of crises. These prior systems have certain disadvantages and draw backs. For example, batteries are installed in the modules at the battery plant or factory. Typically, a three battery module may weigh about 800 lbs. These trays are therefore rather bulky and difficult to handle at the installation site. Further, the module pockets, in some instances, are oversized relative to the battery and require the use of shims to snugly position the batteries in the module pockets. The batteries are typically placed in the modules before the final charge creating pressure between the battery and the module. Accordingly, when the batteries swell, if there is need for the installer to remove the batteries, the batteries are usually gripped by the posts which can cause battery damage. Further, it has been found that the interconnected modules are not always as stable as they should be and do not satisfy the criteria for supporting heavy loads in time of seismic crises.
Summarizing the disadvantages of the presently known systems, it has been that cell damage results by overstressing the post seals when installers handle the batteries by the posts, especially during extraction of cell and lifting thereof.
Other adverse affects of extraction of cells from the modules or trays include exposure of the jars to the ambient environment and potential puncture. Further, extraction can result in jar to cover seam damage during reinsertion of the cell into the modular trays. Further, in some instances, the jars are shimmed in the trays to maintain pressure. These shims are inserted prior to jar bulging and once the jar bulges, it is difficult to extract the cell from the trays and even more difficult to reinsert them. Often the shim is not reused resulting in lose of pressure and thus diminishing capacity.
The rack assembly and system of the present invention obviates some of the disadvantages and drawbacks of the prior system discussed above. To this end, the rack system of the present invention comprises a frame device for supporting objects such as batteries during seismic stress, comprising a pair of end frame members mounted in upstanding spaced apart relation by a plurality of vertically spaced elongated channel support members secured at opposite terminal ends to the vertical columns of the end frame members, shelves for supporting batteries spanning the channel support members and defining a plurality of compartments for the batteries, each end frame member being formed of a single sheet material shaped to define vertical columns and a web extending between the end columns, a pair of anchors, means securing the end frames to the anchors, and means for defining a plurality of openings in the web of each end frame generally aligned with the compartments formed by the shelves to provide horizontal ventilation of batteries mounted in the compartments.
With the foregoing in mind it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved battery rack system characterized by novel features of construction and arrangement providing certain functional advantages over the prior art systems discussed above.
A further object of the invention is to provide a battery rack systems which essentially consists of only two main structural components and therefore is easy and quick to assemble and install.
Still a further object of the present invention is to provide a rack system including two relatively rigid end frame members configured to define relatively large ventilation ports for horizontal air flow which improves battery performance.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a rack assembly and system which includes a novel, relatively rigid end frame structure and anchors which are easily accessible for securing the assembly on a concrete floor or the like.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a rack assembly and system wherein no side or rear access is required for assembly of the rack and the batteries therein and accordingly the rack assembly and system can be used in extremely small spaces. For example, the space required almost as small is the rectangular footprint of the rack assembly.
A still another object of the present invention is to provide a battery rack assembly and systems wherein the frame including a novel configuration of end frame members which are symmetrical and therefore can be manufactured economically and installed easily and which are characterized by a series of ventilation slots and webs between the slots which confront a plurality of open compartments in the rack for the batteries to thereby aid and guide the batteries into the rows defined in the compartments.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a novel battery rack assembly and system which has great flexibility and only one designed frame is needed for the entire 120-size system product line in a 8-high configuration.
Still a further object of the present invention is to provide a novel battery rack assembly and system wherein the shelves are divided into rows or zones for the batteries defined by a series of spaced dimples and openings spacing the rows of batteries at a predetermined distance from one another to whereby the ventilation slots facilitate vertical air flow over the batteries and with again the result of improving battery performance.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a novel jacket configuration for the batteries characterized by a unique design allowing for handling the cells individually thereby facilitate handling and wherein the open end configuration is such to protect the joint between the cover and the jar from damage.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a jacket configuration where the cell need not be extracted from the jacket or handled by its posts and thereby eliminating cell posts seal damage and jar damage as well as diminished capacity due to loss of pressure characteristic of prior art configuration.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a novel jacket arrangement constructed of two identical pieces which are configured to be easily welded together to form a neat compact jacket for the individual batteries which includes points for picking up and handling the batteries and therefore eliminates cell damage.
These and other objects of the present invention and various features and details of the construction and operation thereof are hereinafter more fully set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

FIG. 11B is an enlarged view of the portion circled in FIG. 11A marked 11B showing the shield mounted bracket.
Referring now to the drawings and particularly to FIG. 2 thereof, there is shown a battery rack assembly and system including the unique features of the present invention which is generally designated by the numeral 10. The battery rack assembly 10 essentially comprises a pair of spaced apart end frames 12 and 14, a series of shelf support channels 16 which connect the end frames 12 and 14 and shelves 18 spanning the support channels which are spaced apart vertically to define a series of compartments for storing batteries in jackets in a manner described in more detail hereafter. The end frames 12 and 14 are rigidly supported in base channels 20 which can be anchored to a support surface such as a concrete floor in a commercial building.
Considering now the components of the battery rack assembly 10 in more detail and with specific reference to the end frames 12 and 14, each end frame may be fabricated from a single sheet of sheet metal punched and formed to the configuration shown in the drawings. Since the end frames 12 and 14 are of identical configuration, like parts thereof will be designated with the same reference numeral. Each end frame as illustrated is of a configuration to define a pair of elongated, vertically extending columns 22 and 24 generally C-shaped connect by a generally rectangular web 26 having, in the present instance, a series of generally rectangular openings 28 arranged in two rows R1 and R2 which facilitates horizontal ventilation of the batteries mounted in the rack assembly to thereby improve battery performance. The foot of each column 24 has a depending tang 30 formed therein adapted to engage in a slot 32 formed in the anchor 20. The anchor 20 as illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 1B is an elongated channel-shaped member of U-shaped cross section having a generally rectangular base 34 and a pair of upstanding side walls 36 which at their outer terminal ends are beveled as at 38. The base 34 of the anchor is reinforced by a pad 40 adjacent the anchor mounting hole 42. The end frame members 12 and 14 are easy to assemble to the anchor 20 by simply inserting the tangs 30 into the slot 32 and welding the parts in place as at 44. Note, the transverse width W of the columns 22 and 24 is essentially the same width as the spacing S between the side walls 36 of the anchor 20 so that the feet of the vertical columns 22 and 24 snugly embrace the side wall 36 when the vertical frame is assembled to the anchor 20. This adds to the rigidity of the rack. Note that the pads and anchor holes 42 project beyond the vertical frame and shelf support channels for easy access.
Since there are only two main structural components, the end frame members 12 and 14 provide ease of installation. The ventilation slots 28 produce good generally horizontal air flow for improving battery performance. (See FIGS. 5A and 5B showing air flow.) The webs 46 between the ventilation slots guide the batteries into position for ease of installation of the batteries as explained in more details below. The frame configuration and design provide symmetry so that are no left or right considerations providing ease of installation and manufacture.
There is shown in FIG. 2E a modification of the end frames wherein a series of vent openings 45 are provides in the webs to further enhance cooling air flow to improve batteries performance.
Bolt holes 48,50 are provided in the vertically extending end faces 47 of columns 22 and 24 of the vertical frame members to attach the shelf support channels 16 and battery shield brackets 96. As illustrated, there are a series of vertically spaced bolt holes 48 arranged in pairs for mounting the shelf support channels 16 and a series of vertically oriented pairs of bolt holes 50 for supporting brackets 96 for the battery shield 94. As illustrated in FIG. 2B, shelf support channels 16 are supported between the end frames 12 and 14 by bolts 54 at opposite terminal ends to provide a rigid support structure when all of the shelf support channels 16 are in place.
The shelves 18 for the battery rack assembly comprise a generally rectangular support panel section 56 having a depending flange 58 along the front edge thereof which has a series of bolt holes 60. The panel section 56 is divided into three zones Z1, Z2 and Z3 by transversely extending alternating rows of spaced slots 62 and a series of upwardly projecting dimples 64. The slots 62 provide a vertical flow path for further ventilation of the batteries to further enhance battery performance. The dimples space the rows of batteries and jackets to enhance any flow. The shelves 18 are fixed in place by pairs of bolts 65 at each of the bolt hole locations which as illustrated in FIGS. 2C and 2D, engage through the adjacent innermost bolt holes in the shelf and aligned bolt holes in the channel support member 16.
Consider now the battery jacket J which is best illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B. The jacket J comprise two parts, top and bottom halves 70 and 72, each formed from a single piece of sheet material to the configuration shown. As illustrated, the two parts 70 and 72 are identical and comprise generally rectangular top and bottom panels 74 and 76. The top and bottom panels 74 and 76 have partial side and bottom walls which mate in the final configuration to form a box-like structure shown in FIG. 3B. Note that the jacket halves 70, 72 are welded together as at 78. The parts are provided with complementary buttons 80 and round locating holes 82 and enlarged obround locating holes 83 to position the jacket parts properly when performing the final weldment. The open end of the jacket J has upwardly and downwardly projecting ears 84 and 86 which project forwardly of the front edge of the jacket J and are staggered relative to one another for a purpose to be described.
Consider now use of a battery rack assembly 10 of the present invention. Batteries B are inserted into the jackets J, which happens at the battery manufacturing plant prior to charging and bulging.
The jackets J, including batteries B, are loaded into the compartments defined by the shelves 18 and the shelf support channels 16 as shown in FIG. 4. Note that in this position the ears 84 and 86 of the adjacent jackets J are in side-by-side array by reason of the staggered configuration of the ears 84 and 86. The jackets J are secured to the shelves 18 and the shelf support channels 16 by means of bolts 65 extending through the center hole 67 of the three-hole array in the jacket ears 84 and 86.
It is noted that when the battery B bottoms in the jacket J, the seam S at the juncture of the cover C and jar J is located forward of the front edge E of the jacket defining the opening therein to thereby prevent damage to the seam S during insertion. Further, it is noted that the ears 84 and 86 project forwardly to allow assembly of the flat battery retainer bars 90 and 92. As shown in FIG. 6, jackets J are guided into the zones or rows Z1, Z2 and Z3 defined by the dimples 64 so that they are spaced apart and create air ventilating channels 62 for enhancing battery performance. It also aligns the bolt openings in the ears 84 and 86 with the corresponding holes 60 in the front flange 58 of the shelf 18. The batteries B are then fixed in place in the rack by means of retainer bars 90 and 92. The retainer bar 90 has two bolt hole openings (not shown) and an enlarged central opening 55 which circumscribes/overlies the bolt heads 65 securing the jacket J to the rack 10 and is used on the lowermost and uppermost jacket to secure the battery in place in the upper and lowermost rows. The battery retainer bar 92 is elongated and has two sets of three openings 100, 101 and 102 for use in the intermediate rows in the manner shown in FIG. 8. Note, the retaining bars 90 seating or securing the batteries in the uppermost and lowermost rows, the openings are offset to one side so that the lower portion of the retaining overlaps the cover of the battery in the manner shown in FIG. 8A. The bars 90 and 92 are provided with elongated strips extending along top and bottom edges to provide a cushion effect when securing the retaining bars in place. The openings in the longer bars 92 are centrally located to the bar to provide the same overlap with the cover in adjacent rows in the manner shown in FIG. 8B.
In some instances, a shield 94 overlying the front of the rack is used to further protect the batteries and to protect persons from the batteries' exposed, live connectors. The shield 94 in the present instance comprises of two generally rectangular, clear plastic sections which are supported over the front face of the rack by S-shaped brackets 96 secured to the vertical columns 22, 24, 24 a of the frame members 12 and 14. The plastic sheets 94 are provided with key-hole slots 98 at their corners for cooperative engagement with headed fastening elements 99 carried by the outer end of the brackets 96.
Even though particular embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described herein, it is not intended to limit the invention and changes and modifications may be made therein within the scope of the following claims.

I'm an excerpt-hound. I was visiting one of the blogs on my sidebar, FANTASY DEBUT, and ran across a link to Phaedra Weldon's site. (That is such a nifty author's name. Made me think of Fay Weldon with mythological attitude.)
My name is Zoe--that's with a long e. Not the pronunciation like toe. Martinique. Irish mother, Latin American father. Which means I have darker than usual skin for an Irish Catholic, a mass of brownish hair, very light brown eyes, a wicked mean temper and love of bawdy pub-songs.
My mother insists I look like my father, whom I'd always sort of imagined as resembling Antonio Banderas. Okay--so Antonio's not Latin, but Spanish. He's still one beautiful man. But you know how it is, how a daughter always imagines her father as being the most beautiful man in the world. A hero. A legend.
But according to my mom, the only legendary thing my dad did was vanish from my life. As to the whereabouts of one Adiran Martinique, can't help you. Haven't seen him since I was four. Mom refers to his absence as necessary.
Anyway, it was nice to see a semi-Latina as the shetagonist.
The excerpt is here for WRAITH from Ace/Berkley.
The amazon reviews were quite mixed--8 each of five and four stars, and 5 each of one and two stars. That's why I hadn't ordered it, though I regularly check to see what amazon has by way of fantasy, and especially urban fantasy.
I'm still debating whether to get or not, but that semi-Latina bit adds one more to the "pro" column.

Valuation of residual impacts of roads on landscape ecological units in Navarre, Spain
Road construction generally reduces the ecological value of the environment. To recover it, the value of the residual ecological impacts should be counterbalanced by compensation measures within the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedure. Ecological valuation and impact valuation are central to EIA performance. As long as residual impacts are valued, the rationale behind specific compensation proposals may be strengthened. This paper proposes a simple, transparent and adaptable approach to ecological and impact valuation. It aims at improving the perception, compilation and valuation of certain residual ecological impacts, as a means to encourage compensation practice within EIA.

Kawasaki (K)Z1000 and Z1-R Hardback
by Tony Sculpher
Designed as Kawasaki's response to the ground-breaking Honda CB750 of 1969, the "Kawasaki 900 Super 4 Model Z1", affectionately referred to by many as the 'Z1', appeared in 1972.
It took the motorcycling world by storm and has a strong claim to be the world's first true ultimate superbike.
Thirty years on, the (K)Z1000 Z1-R has emerged as one of Kawasaki's most desirable and sought after collectables from the 1970s.
This book will help the reader appreciate the ever-evolving Japanese motorcycle styling and the introduction of various technologies as standard equipment, and just how sensational and unique these motorbikes really were.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by mandy7791, Mar 7, 2010.
I can't figure it out ?
Not sure if this will work, but try it and see:
Go to settings>application>market>clear cache.
Thanks, I forgot to mention that I tried that already, it didn't work though.
Apparently it is not possible. Hopefully the future 2.1 update will give us that option.
Wow, that is amazing. How dumb! Thanks for the input
Just don't be searching for porn if your significant other will get mad about it!
Read my mind. Either risk being caught or RUU it.
I read awhile back that if you are rooted there's a file that you can delete. However, I cannot remember what the name of the file was. >.<
Maybe someone else will remember?
If you're rooted, you can delete:
And after a reboot, the file will be rebuilt with and empty 'suggestions' / 'history' cache.
If have read that an application called 'cachemate' may also work, if you are not rooted, but I have never tried / tested to verify.
Supposedly there is an app called HistoryErase by someone named Dumapic but I can't get it to work. Anybody else have any luck?
Just downloaded MarketSearchEraser and it worked awesome.
FINALLY.....after reading all the talk about rooting and of course the dreaded expert's feedback of "clearing cache" in manage application settings!!
Hey.. thanks for the heads up just installed it and works perfectly(in app store). No root necessary.
The only one I could find is MarketHistoryEraser. Downloaded it and it works great.
Thanks, TC.
Thanks alot it works perfect.
Sometimes it's the simplest things that impress the most.
It works for me.

Techsil supply a number of different coating compounds for use in advanced technological applications. Our systems feature protection against moisture, chemicals, abrasion, thermal cycling, elevated temperatures, mechanical shock, etc. We also supply coatings for LEDs, lenses, weatherstrip coatings, dome coatings, conformal coatings and specialist textile coating compounds.
Conformal Coatings
Techsil's conformal coatings can be applied by spraying, dipping, flow coating or any other conventional processing technique. Conformal coatings are essential for enhancing the reliability and long-term performance of electronic assemblies. They provide superior protection against: dust, dirt, abrasion, fungus, moisture, chemicals, mechanical stress, shock and vibration.
Conformal coatings from Techsil include very fast, one part UV curing formulations, one and two part epoxies, one and two part silicones. Specific grades offer: low viscosity, wide temperature resistance, repairability, rapid cures, high dielectric strength and low stress
For intricate parts with shadowed out areas we also offer special "dual cure" coatings, which cure with both UV light and the addition of heat. Other special compounds are: optically clear, non-yellowing and very low in viscosity.
Textile Coating Compounds
Specialist silicone textile coating compounds are available from Techsil. Silicone offers extreme performance onto a selection of engineering fabrics including glass cloth, Nomex, Kevlar, nylon and polyester. Coating improves the 'hand' and feel of the base material and affords heat and abrasion resistance whilst reducing porosity. By mechanically bonding the materials in a matrix the coated fabrics benefit from the synergy of the resin and substrate working together.
