What follows (black print) is from Robert Sungenis; my replies are in blue and in brackets.
* * * * *
First, I've only skimmed the immense dialogue taking place on this blog, and I do wish I had time to answer some of the questions that have been posed here. In lieu of my involvement, it looks like John Martin is quite capable of fielding most of the questions and objections, and I want to commend him for his efforts. John is from Australia, I believe, and we sent him the two volume set of Galileo Was Wrong: The Church Was Right a while ago. By the looks of what John has written on this blog, he is positive proof that someone can read the books, comprehend what is being said, and then ably defend our historic Catholic doctrine of geocentrism. I trust John will continue to do a good job.
Second, early in this blog dialogue, Mr. Armstrong tried to divert the discussion into one concerning the contention he has with me about God's immutability, suggesting that this was more important than geocentrism.
[I wasn't trying to "divert" anything. I simply put up earlier dialogues that had been removed by gentleman's agreement. Since Bob wanted to start critiquing my views on Galileo, it was fair game to put back up what had always been a perfectly legitimate concern. It has always been my policy (at the same time) to not debate the issue of geocentrism. But God's immutability and other characteristics are topics that are infinitely more important than the issue of geocentrism and heliocentrism, because that is theology proper (the theology of God Himself), as opposed to scientific speculation, which is not directly a matter of Catholic dogma, apart from the basics of asserting that God created; there is a primal pair of human beings, God creates each soul supernaturally, etc.]
Mr. Armstrong is accusing me of not holding to the Church's teaching that God is immutable. Allow me to take this opportunity to clear the air. I FIRMLY BELIEVE IN GOD'S IMMUTABILITY, AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE IN THE CHURCH'S TEACHING ON THIS SUBJECT.
[Yes, that's what Bob always says, but various positions about God and His actions that he takes directly contradict this assertion (as his former associate Ben Douglass has noted in the past). It is simply illogical thought to an extraordinary degree]
What, however, Mr. Armstrong has decided to conclude on his own is, because I also believe Scripture when it says that God changes his mind upon the repentance or appeasement from man (e.g., Amos 7:1-6; Exodus 32:9-14), that I am contradicting the Church's doctrine of God's immutability. My answer is, NO I AM NOT. I believe both the Church's teaching on immutability and the Scripture's teaching on God changing his mind upon the repentance of man. The two are not mutually exclusive and there is no Church teaching that says they are. The Church has simply not addressed the statements in Scripture that say God changes his mind. You can prove this for yourself. Here listed are all the places in Denzinger that the Church teaches on God's immutability (254, 346, 428, 462, 463, 703, 1701, 1782, 321, 1784, 2184, 706, 1655, 72, 143, 144, 327, 344, 257, 429, 462, 1463). In none of these does the Church ever teach that God cannot change his mind, or that divine immutability forbids God to change his mind. Why? Because the Church never has and never will contradict the face value, literal words of Scripture. If you examine the citations in Denzinger you will see that immutability simply means that the essence or substance of God does not change, not that God cannot change his mind. We combine the two by simply noting that God's immutability foresees that he will act one way or the other when confronted by the free will decisions of man, and the Church has never taught anything differently (cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, para. 600). If, to the contrary, Mr. Armstrong can find any place in the official teachings of the Catholic Church which states that God, because he is immutable, cannot change his mind, then I will give him $1000 and retract my proposition. Note, we are not interested in Mr. Armstrong's opinion, or the opinion of this or that theologian as to whether God's immutability forbids him to change his mind. We are only interested in official Church teaching that says precisely that God's immutability is mutually exclusive from God changing his mind and that the former will not allow the latter. The ball is in Mr. Armstrong's court.
[it's all very simple: the doctrine of immutability (reiterated by the Church over and over, and de fide dogma) excludes all change whatever from God. God changing His mind is a change; therefore it cannot happen, according to the same doctrine. It also contradicts the notion of an omniscient God, as I have demonstrated. This is not rocket science (no pun intended). But if one gets into a habit of profoundly illogical thinking, as Bob has, then they will miss the obvious logical fact]I would say, however, that Mr. Armstrong's opening up this dialogue with a picture of Apollo 15 on the moon is, if not a "personal attack," is very close to one, and definitely one that tries to poison the audience against me before they read what I have to say.
[it's not a personal attack; it is simply bringing to the fore a related, highly eccentric position, that is relevant in determining whether a person is trustworthy as an expert in scientific or specifically astronomical / cosmological matters. It's completely relevant]
It follows the usual demagoguery that has been used against me by Mr. Armstrong and my other ideological enemies on a continual basis, another one being the accusation that I am "anti-semitic," which is a total falsehood. I am simply not afraid, and will not be intimidated, to speak against Jewish politics, religion and social mores.
[I haven't brought the Jewish issues that Bob is so incessantly concerned with into this at all. I've always avoided all of that controversy. From what I've seen, I think he is persistently wrong on that score, too, but since I haven't brought it up at all, it is irrelevant to the present discussion, and is, thus, a mere polemical diversion]
Be that as it may, as an American citizen, I do have the right, so says my government, to question, doubt or reject things that the American government says or does. It's called "Freedom of Speech." Hence, I do have the right to doubt whether the American government had the capability to send a man to the moon and bring him back to earth. I don't have any question that the US could send a rocket to the moon, but sending a man and getting him back safely is another question altogether.
[sure: Bob can believe whatever he wants to believe. And we are free to believe that certain of his views are absurd, eccentric, and unworthy of acceptance. That's free speech too]
Hence, I think it is grossly misleading and totally unCatholic for Mr. Armstrong to poison the well by these antics.
[how is that the case by simply noting that he believes in such a thing? It's relevant to a consideration of whether one knows how to "do" science, to note that he believes that the moon landings were possibly not what they appeared to be. People need to know that. It is altogether relevant to the whole discussion. If a person is applying for a position as an English teacher and someone is brash and presumptuous enough to point out that the applicant is illiterate, that is not "poisoning the well"; it is, rather, an altogether relevant fact to consider as to qualification. It's a deal-breaker]
The only real and relevant question on this blog is: is Mr. Armstrong able to defend his staunch rejection of geocentric cosmology?
[whether I can or not; many others are able to do so, and I have appealed to them by linking to their analyses]
All the diversions of moon landings and God's immutability are not going to answer that basic question. So, I would implore Mr. Armstrong to stay on topic and answer the questions put forth to him.
[again, immutability is not a diversion (it has nothing directly to do with whether geocentrism is true), but a separate problem in Bob's theology that needs to be addressed straight on. I have helped to put pressure on him. Hopefully others in much higher places will censure his opinions on these scores as they ought to be, lest unsuspecting readers get led astray into heresy regarding God's attributes]
Fourth, I see some discussion on this blog, mainly from Phil Vaz, that a few years ago Ken Cole gave an irrefutable proof for heliocentrism with his satellite trajectories. This is simply not the case, and if anyone would like to revisit this issue, I would happily oblige. Mark Wyatt at email@example.com can be contacted about this. Mark gave the definitive proof against Cole's thesis, and it was shortly after that that Cole took his website and his arguments down, and they have not been put up by Mr. Cole since, more than five years ago. It was easy to refute Mr. Cole's arguments, since Mr. Wyatt showed what we have always known, i.e., any movements in the heliocentric system are identical to those in the geocentric system, since all the distances and proportions are exactly the same. The only difference between the two systems is what is used as the center.
Lastly, if Mr. Armstrong would like to have an open and public debate, at my expense, on either the subject of geocentrism or God's immutability, I would most happily oblige. All he needs to do is give the word and we will set it up.
Robert Sungenis
[I have made all my arguments in the papers linked to above. Bob minimized and ignored them at the time of our initial exchange (January 2009), saying I wrote too much and it was merely my logic (exactly as he is doing now). So it is his choice whether he wants to interact now with the argumentation or not. No skin off my back or loss to me if he again declines. But I don't engage in public oral debates. I do serious written debate, which is infinitely superior to the other format, for my money (everyone is entitled to their opinion on methodology). If Bob wants to do a "James White" and refuse all written debates and imply that all who use and prefer that format are intellectual cowards, let him. It has no effect on my personal opinions as to how best to engage in serious discussion. I'm not influenced or swayed by name-calling and chest-puffing tactics]
Bob wrote a second reply that I received on 11-20-10. I will again make some response. I received two more replies from him on 11-22-10 that have also been incorporated. I have now asked Bob to please post anything further on his site.
* * *
[As usual; Bob took a pass on discussing immutability issues in January 2009; and he chooses to do so again here, while chiding me for not taking up my valuable time to argue about whether the earth rotates or not, or is 10,000 years old, or the center of the universe, etc.]
Bob (11-22-10): Dave, I'll discuss God's immutability anytime you want, especially since you have made this an issue of my credibility. As for whether the earth rotates and is less than 10,000 years old, well, in case you didn't notice, that's what all the Fathers said, all the medievals, about a half dozen popes, and no one in the Catholic Church has officially rescinded that position. So if you think this is an "odd" and "eccentric" view, it's only because you don't realize how far away you are from the Tradition of the Church and that's because you've made popular science your ultimate authority, not the Church.
Dave (11-22-10): [the last clause is sheer nonsense]
First, if, as Dave claims, he didn't respond to my critique of the chapter in his book because he thought "geocentrism is a ludicrous position," then why does he bother putting up what he believes are proofs of heliocentrism on his site (including the proof of the orbiting satellite taking pictures of a rotating earth), and inviting others to put up their proofs as well? Somehow, when it comes to Robert Sungenis directly challenging David Armstrong on these issues, David goes into the "No Mas" posture. I find that rather perplexing.
[Why in the world would it be thought that one person has to personally engage in dialogues or write about about absolutely anything and everything under the sun? We all make choices of what we will spend time doing. I posted arguments from others and I have allowed geocentrists to also make their case on my site. So where's the beef?]
Bob (11-22-10): The beef? Obviously it's that you try to answer everyone else's arguments but mine, Dave. Yes, you made a choice to answer them and not me. Yes, it was your choice. I'm only pointing out the contradiction in that logic.
Dave (11-22-10): [The only problem is that it is not a "contradiction" at all to simply decide to spend time doing one thing or another. A real contradiction would be saying, for example, that I will reply to absolutely every challenge and critique that I receive, and then not do so. Since I have never stated the former, it is not an issue of contradiction at all. As I have pointed out in a related combox, I have always had a policy of deciding that certain things are not worth the effort to reply to or debate. This happens to be one of Bob's obsessions, so that offends him, but that is not my problem. I'm not gonna change the policy that works best for me simply because he is dissatisfied with it. The fact is, that I don't "answer everyone else's arguments". Bob's premise is wrong; therefore he falsely thinks contradiction is present in my policy. There are many dozens of critiques of my work from anti-Catholics that I ignore. There are additional ones from Catholic "traditionalists" and others that I have no time for, either]
Second, as for David Palm's and Jordanes' claim that Galileo and geocentrism are not "magisterial issues," that's quite an amazing statement. To me it is proof that they refuse to deal with the reality of the situation. How much more "magisterial" could it be? Pius V taught us geocentrism in the Tridentine Catechism; Paul V accepted the conclusion of his Sacred Congregation that heliocentrism was a "formal heresy" and told Galileo never to teach it again; and Urban VIII said the same under a canonical trial and commanded all his papal nuncios to prohibit the teaching of heliocentrism; and Alexander VII put Galileo, Kepler and Copernicus on the Index; and Benedict XIV kept them on the Index. Bellarmine staked his claim on the consensus of the Fathers, and Trent taught that when the Fathers are in consensus we must hold to their conclusions. Palm and Jordanes only WISH it was not magisterial.
[Right. Well, if Bob is so confident, then let him write more endless tomes responding to them, too, rather than merely taking potshots. And it won't be here; it will have to be on his site]
Bob (11-22-10): Dave, just answer the question. If you believe "Jordanes and Palm did such a good job in showing that Galileo and geocentrism was not magisterial," then the burden is on you, not them, to defend their position. How can you defend it when we have a list of at least a half-dozen popes dealing with the issue directly and making decisions on it?
Dave (11-22-10): [They have made a good case. If they wish to defend it further, that is up to them, not me. Why Bob would think it is my burden to defend their arguments rather than theirs, is, I confess another mystery and curiosity of his thinking]
Third, Dave says concerning the issue of God's immutability, the following conclusion: "it's all very simple: the doctrine of immutability (reiterated by the Church over and over, and de fide dogma) excludes all change whatever from God. God changing His mind is a change; therefore it cannot happen, according to the same doctrine. It also contradicts the notion of an omniscient God, as I have demonstrated. This is not rocket science (no pun intended). But if one gets into a habit of profoundly illogical thinking, as Bob has, then they will miss the obvious logical fact."
Did I not say in my challenge to Dave that I wasn't interested in his opinion?
[It's not even my "opinion"; it is a very simple application of classic deductive logic. The fact that Bob doesn't grasp this virtually self-evident truth is sadly indicative of the serious problems he has in his thinking, leading to a number of erroneous conclusions]
Bob (11-22-10):
Huummm. So here is Dave's "deductive logic":
Premise 1: Scripture says God is immutable;
Premise 2: Scripture also says God changes his mind;
Conclusion 1: Scripture's statement in Premise #2 is false.
Ah, so we just proved that Scripture is errant. That's what Dave's "classic deductive logic" leads to.
Dave (11-22-10): [so ridiculous and silly, in light of my past statements, that it is its own refutation]
Unfortunately, he continues to ignore this request and thus we arrive at an impasse every time this subject comes up. Let me say it again. I'm not interested in Dave's logic or what he thinks the magisterium believes. I'm only interested in the official and explicit teaching of the magisterium.
[Yes, exactly]
So here it is again: Does the magisterium, when it teaches on God's immutability, say also that God cannot, therefore, change his mind as Scripture says he does in passages such as Amos 7:1-6 or Exodus 32:9-14?
[Absolutely; it follows inexorably from what the magisterium has definitively stated]
Bob (11-22-10): And where did the Church officially say: "Absolutely; it follows inexorably from what the magisterium has definitively stated"? Answer: Nowhere. It only follows in Dave's head because Dave thinks he's more logical than the clear propositions of Sacred Scripture.
Dave (11-22-10): [more of the same ridiculous and silly stuff]
This is not rocket science. The answer is a clear and unequivocal NO. If Dave believes otherwise, I've offered him $1000 to find such a statement from the Church but apparently he can't find it, and thus he has to fall back on his own human "logic" for a defense.
[Right. Logic is what it is . . .]
Come, let us reason together.
[That would be nice, wouldn't it? But with Bob's trashing of logic, he has made it impossible from the get-go]
Bob (11-22-10): "Trashing of logic"? Hardly. I just recognize its limitations when we are dealing with an infinite, triune and incarnate God. My preferred "logic" is to take Scripture for what it says, even if my logic can't explain it.
If we had to prove our Catholic faith only by what is logical to the human mind, we'd have to throw out the majority of our religion. Is it logical that three beings who are all God are actually one God? Is it logical that a being can be both God and man at the same time? Is it logical that a piece of bread only looks like bread but is actually God? We can add many more such examples. Human logic will only take us so far. We depend on faith for the rest.
[Great. That would explain many of Bob's eccentric positions on things, if he takes such a dim view of logic, as applied to theology, and adopts virtually a fideistic outlook]
Bob (11-22-10): So is Dave telling us that he can explain the Trinity, the Incarnation and the Real Presence by human logic? If so, then he is the first person in history to do so.
Dave (11-22-10): [As has often happened in these sorry, pitiful exchanges, Bob doesn't grasp my position. I had already stated last time: "I have no problem whatever accepting paradox and beliefs that ultimately go beyond man's comprehension (while not involving self-contradiction)."]
So if Scripture says God is immutable and also says God changes his mind, then the "logical" position, if you will, is to believe both; and the "illogical" conclusion is to make one proposition true and insist the other is false.
[I see; so God is immutable and is also mutable, too. Makes perfect sense in "Bob-logic" . . . ]
Bob (11-22-10): Don't put words into my mouth, Dave. I did not say that God would be "mutable" if he changed his mind upon man's repentance. The truth is, God would be mutable if he DID NOT change his mind, since God has already said that he would forgive man if man repents of his sin. If he reneged on the forgiveness, then he would be mutable. How's that for logic? You didn't realize that it cuts both ways, did you?
Incidentally, Dave's "I won't believe it unless it is acceptable to human logic" approach is precisely what led Luther and Calvin to their heretical views on absolute predestination, since they could not accept by human logic that God could predestine and predetermine all events and yet give man a free will.
[Not the point at all. Bob is completely out to sea. I'm not the one to explain elementary logic to him. I don't have the patience]
Bob (11-22-10): Ah, the "No Mas" argument again.
But the Catholic Church rejected the "logical" approach of Calvin and Luther and said that Scripture is true on both predestination and free will, regardless of whether we can "logically" explain it; and to this day the Catholic Church has not given an official explanation as to how the two can be joined together since her religion is not required to pass the human logic sniff test in order to be true.
[I have no problem whatever accepting paradox and beliefs that ultimately go beyond man's comprehension (while not involving self-contradiction). I have written about that many times. My epistemology is infinitely more complex and nuanced than Bob gives me credit for (largely following Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman's thought in his Grammar of Assent). I do have a huge problem, however, with flat-out contradiction: of the sort that Bob wants to espouse on this matter. Biblical paradox and contradiction are two very different things]
Bob (11-22-10): So what Dave is telling us then, is that when Scripture says God is immutable and also says God changes his mind, then Scripture is giving us a contradiction? Perhaps the "contradiction" is in Dave's hermeneutic.
Bob (11-22-10): Dave, take a good look at what you wrote in this present piece and you will see a lot of statements that could easily be viewed by someone as personal attacks. Take this one, for instance: ["Oh, there are plenty of "nuts" in the world who believe all manner of conspiracy theories. On that I heartily, happily agree with Bob! But it is rare to find so many such theories in any one place, such as one finds on Bob's site. It's almost encyclopedic when it comes to conspiracy theories"]. I suggest you stop projecting onto other people the very fault you have yourself.
Dave (11-22-10): [This is not a personal attack at all. The use of "nut" is rhetorical, because Bob was using it sarcastically, which is why I put it in quotes there. I was not calling him a nut at all. I was merely pointing out that conspiracy theories abound on Bob's site, which is not saying anything that he doesn't glory in himself by immersing himself in them. Anyone can search his site for "conspiracy" and related notions and see that]
. . . let me deal with this issue of the mirror on the moon. Somebody wrote in and said: "Has Sungenis not read his own book? "When a Lunar Laser Ranging experiment is performed, a laser beam is first aimed at the moon toward retro-reflectors placed on its surface previously by astronauts. The retro-reflectors have an ingenious design, which always reflects the captured beam exactly back along the path of the incoming ray. If any light beam strikes the reflector surface, it will return on the same path; there's no deviation in direction, no correction angle. (Galileo Was Wrong, Vol. 1, p. 827). So, he uses data gained from mirrors placed on the moon by astronauts in order to prove geocentrism, but he doesn't really believe astronauts made it to the moon?"
The answer is simple. I didn't write that section of the book. Dr. Bennett did. And it doesn't come from page 827 since there is no page 827 in the book. If come from page 440.
[Ah; dissent in the ranks . . . geocentrists lack unity as to whether the moon landings really happened or not! A healthy diversity of opinion . . .]
Bob (11-22-10): No personal attack here, Dave? Ah huh.
Dave (11-22-10): [How in the world is that a "personal attack"? I was merely having some tongue-in-cheek fun with the fact that Bennett and Sungenis disagreed with each other]
And on the moon landing issue, Dave says: "how is that the case by simply noting that he believes in such a thing? It's relevant to a consideration of whether one knows how to 'do' science, to note that he believes that the moon landings were possibly not what they appeared to be. People need to know that. It is altogether relevant to the whole discussion. If a person is applying for a position as an English teacher and someone is brash and presumptuous enough to point out that the applicant is illiterate, that is not 'poisoning the well'; it is, rather, an altogether relevant fact to consider as to qualification. It's a deal-breaker."
RS: Yes, I guess this argument would have some impact if I was the only nut in the world who doubted the moon landings. You can check the Internet for yourself. Not only are there many people who have doubts, they have advanced degrees in science and photography to demonstrate their case. My Lord, if it were the case such that we had to accept everything our government told us without question, we Catholics would all be aborting our babies because the US government now tells us it's OK.
[Oh, there are plenty of "nuts" in the world who believe all manner of conspiracy theories. On that I heartily, happily agree with Bob! But it is rare to find so many such theories in any one place, such as one finds on Bob's site. It's almost encyclopedic when it comes to conspiracy theories]
Bob (11-22-10): Really Dave? "encyclopedic"? [the original was a typo: "encyclopedia" -- so I changed Bob's word to reflect my original boo-boo] No personal attack intended? And you're just an impeccably cool guy who always believes what he sees on the NEWS, right? You have no doubts, much less reject, anything your government tells you, right? Wow, what a wonderful world you live in. Gee, Dave, if that's the case, I have this land in the Florida everglades you might be interested in…..
Dave (11-22-10): [Yes, really; many conspiracy theories are on Bob's site and discussed ad nauseum. How that fact leads him to think I supposedly have total trust in everything the US government does is also beyond me]
Be that as it may, let's put the shoe on the other foot for a moment. On his website Dave was recently making the claim that we know the Earth rotates because cameras on satellites were taking time lapse photography of its rotation. Time and time again we pointed out to Dave that this illustration did not prove his case, since he couldn't first prove that the satellite wasn't rotating around the Earth by being carried in rotating space. But this went right over his head and he insisted that the satellite camera proved the Earth was rotating. So, by the same logic that Dave wouldn't hire me as an English teacher if I was illiterate, I wouldn't trust him to give any convincing arguments against geocentrism if he couldn't even reason that a satellite taking pictures of the Earth does not prove that the Earth is rotating.
[I wasn't claiming any particular expertise myself in making arguments against geocentrism. So if I did indeed blow this argument (others may judge that), I did. Big wow. If so, it wouldn't prove anything one way or the other as to the entire issue at hand, since it doesn't rest on one measly little argument to begin with]
Bob (11-22-10): Right. So the next question is: what other proof do you have for heliocentrism, Dave? I would like to give you a "Big wow" if you could produce such a proof rather than the "No Mas" argument.
Dave (11-22-10): [I already declined to enter such a discussion. I am not hounded into discussions that I think are worthless by schoolyard tactics of taunting and chest-puffing]
Bob (11-22-10): Patience? Come on, Dave. How many blogs have you devoted to nothing more than attacking me since 2004?
Dave (11-22-10): [None that I am aware of. Again, Bob seems to have me mixed up with someone else]
Bob (11-22-10): And when I confront you directly you always retreat into the "No Mas" zone or claim you "lack patience." The truth is, we have discovered that you have no magisterial statement that proves your case against me on the issue of God's immutability, so perhaps you will be kind enough to retract your diatribe at the beginning of his blog that casts me as some inept theologian. And it looks like you will not proposition Jordanes or Palm to engage me in a debate on geocentrism, even though you were so confident that they had totally trounced my claims of the Magisterium's involvement on the geocentric issue. C'est la vie. Thanks, Dave. I can now rest easier tonight. When you want to deal with me and the issues directly, you have my email address.
[I have devoted enough time to all this. Given Bob's cluelessness even on something as simple as straightforward deductive logic, I have exhausted my own patience. More power to those who are willing to pursue such absurd "discussions" with him, where even logic itself is under direct assault]
I wrote to Bob on 11-22-10 (indented portions below) after receiving his latest reply, with his third response, incorporated above:
Hi Bob,
Okay, I'll do it [i.e., post it] one more time (and probably make a few more replies). I'll tack it on to the existing paper.
After this, though, it'd be better for you to post on your own site. I have both sides on mine: yours and that of your supporters such as johnmartin and Rick Delano. You have nothing of my recent stuff on your site, so no one would even know if and how I responded. Yet here you are asking me to post your words again on my site. I'm happy to do that, but after this you're on your own.
I've devoted far more than enough time to this. Again, we see that no true dialogue is taking place. You are unwilling.
Bob (11-22-10): I am more than willing, Dave. It is you who has demonstrated the "no mas" position on geocentrism, and you who continues to depend on your own logic rather than the Magisterium for the immutability issue. Bottom line: if you want to have a dialogue, I'll give you a dialogue. Start a thread on either subject on your blog, and I'll contribute to each of your responses.
Dave (11-22-10): [I have already made all the arguments about immutability issues in posts that have been on my site since January 2009. Bob took a pass then, and he continues to do so now, by making the silly, vapid "argument" that it is merely my own logic, rather than inexorable conclusions from clear magisterial statements. Someone else will have to do this debate with him now. I ain't interested. I have documented his errors on theology proper. That's been my role. Someone else will have to persuade him to cease and desist in promulgating these ideas]
Bob (11-22-10): . . . I only dealt with your erroneous [sic] about the Galileo affair. That's all. I only opened up a new discussion when I saw your pitiful treatment of the Galileo issue in a book store I just happened to be browsing one day.
Bob (11-22-10): . . . I only want the truth, Dave. If you have it, speak it. If not, I'm not interested.
Bob (11-22-10): I couldn't resist the temptation when you called your book the "One Minute Apologist" and spent what appeared to be exactly one minute on the Galileo issue, but then prided yourself on having answered all the important questions about it. The way I see it, Dave, is that you refuse to deal with the big questions on the Galileo issue and prefer to stuff it all in a box labeled "absurd and eccentric: no need to bother with this." God has given me something with which I intend on changing the world, and I'm not going away. The conference was just the start of what I and my associates are planning. You can either join us by supporting our Catholic tradition, or you can support the anti-biblical conclusions of status-quo science.
Dave (11-22-10): [Note the extreme disdain of anyone who disagrees with Bob: to do so is to not support "Catholic tradition" and to support "anti-biblical conclusions."]
Bob (11-22-10): Bottom line: If you want a dialogue, start one, and I will oblige. In the meantime, let's be gentlemen about it.
Dave (11-22-10): [I've always been a "gentleman" towards Bob. I have bent over backwards to be charitable to Bob. He happily admitted this in January 2009 when we made our gentleman's agreement and I removed public materials, even though I hadn't changed my mind on his serious theological errors. Rick DeLano concurred by saying that I had acted in a classy fashion, etc. I have all the e-mails. I do think he has very serious deficiencies in several areas of his thinking, and too-often manifested problems in understanding logic and how language (particularly biblical language) works. I was willing to discuss immutability in January 2009. Bob didn't want to and he has already offered the same evasive, condescending claptrap now in response to my arguments. Let him. I'm no longer interested. I have exposed and documented his errors. What he does now is up to him. If he seeks "dialogue" on this it will have to be with someone else, I'm afraid, because my patience (as well as any interest I may have once had) is altogether exhausted]

I can include the 8 p.m. part myself as there are time constraints and too many to return. Perhaps my somewhat lacking computer skills are to blame.

Reviews by rickyhansing:
3.15/5 rDev -23.7%
A: Two finger of head on top of a very pretty deep garnet that is black on first impression.
S: American hops and some sweet malt, not overly aromatic.
T: Strong hops, not blindingly bitter but it does have a punch, that are countered by a fairly sweet malt base. There is a flavor that is a bit nutty and some caramel flavors, along with some serious alcohol.
M: Fairly full bodied, but it is over 9%, so what do you expect?
Overall, I'm complacent with the four pack that I picked up. I can't say that I'm going to get many more bottles of this. The price is pretty damned great though, $1.80something per bottle. I like Black IPAs plenty, I'm just not fully into this one.

Poured into a stemmed glass a near jet black except for some ruby tinge when held in some light,a blooming light mocha colored head atop.Big roast in the nose along with some raw earthiness,the piney hops are there but a little subdued.The hops are much bigger on the palate,resiny and citrusy along with dark bread and coffee roast.A real good black ale but the alcohol sweetness does creep a little so its not something I could drink alot of.

Way to go Uinta for putting a bottled on date. This batch was bottled on 7-3-12 only 23 days ago. I got the bottles in a four pack from the brewery for 10 dollars.
Appearance: Held up to a light, this beer is dark brown but clear in my goblet. The pour resulted in a tan head that took a little while to settle and leaves a decent amount of lacing.
Smell: Hops and malts! The hops component is a bit piney, earthy and maybe a little floral.
Taste: This beer is hard to describe. The malts are roasted in a way to have a bittersweet flavor with a hint of toasted coconut on the finish. The hops are a mixture of what was noted in the smell. Nice pine, earthy, and dank hops flavors. The alcohol is slightly noticeable at 9.2 ABV, but I don't think that I would want to age this to mellow out, as the hops flavors would be muted. I am not sure I can sense the hemp seed other than an overall sort of "herbal" note to the taste. The malts are roasted, kind of a coffee flavor. I didn't get a sense that this was a 109 IBU beer. They don't over-power it at all.
Mouthfeel: I have said other beers coat the mouth with flavor in some of my other ratings, this one takes it to a new level. The finish is very drawn out. The bittersweetness of the malts and the bitterness of the hops linger without being a bother. These are flavors that I want to stick around for a long time. The body is thick and velvety while the carbonation is just enough to balance.
Overall: This is a really complex beer, and a nice interpretation of the CDA style. The flavor goes on and on. I can only recommend this for the adventurous sort as the flavors are really intense. Those that can handle it will be rewarded. I also suggest trying it fresh.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #51 (April 2011):
Fitting name for this black, oily, sticky-smelling hemp seed-infused Black Ale—or, as they call it, an Imperial Black IPA. By far one of the most epic heads; the black color of this brew is inviting, too. Thick resin of citric hop and hemp in the nose, a bit piney with mild chicory and cocoa powder from the malt, and ripe fruit from the alcohol. Pungent hop smack tackles the palate hard, sticky resin with evergreen and mixed citric flavors. Malt sweetness and the blackness behind it break through just enough to keep the beer in balance. Alcohol is a bit amped up, but not hot. Hop and hemp flavors stay for a while during a semi-roasted bittersweet finish. Wow, a lot to take in. But in the end, this ale works, as all flavors meld well together.

Poured a nice deep dark almost black into a tulip glass. Abundant four finger head.
Very interestingly smooth mouthfeel and taste. Alcohol and apparent hop feel well hidden and sort of sneaks up on you.
An exceptional representative of the style.
Who'd a thunk? I never was able to pull the trigger on a beer from Utah before. Utah and beer? Unthinkable!
A gift of this beer made me a believer.
Never again will I travel to Utah and assume I will be beer-deprived.

12oz bottle, bottled on 4/26/11. Pours dark brown with a big creamy tan head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is bitter roasted grains, some toffee, and some vegetal malts.
The flavor is a little sweet malt, black licorice and a lot of charred, burnt, roasted bitterness that makes the aftertaste a bit unpleasant. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, it's just not pleasant.It's almost all charred bitterness that just sits in your mouth.

Tasting 12 oz. bottle on July 27, 2011
A --- Thick foamy head with very dark almost stout like blackness
S --- Malts and earth scents with a hint of something strange at the end, kind of dough and yeast but off
T --- Caramel, lots of great malts, licorice, and something sweet maybe brown sugar. It also has a very strong alcohol presence --- whiskey.
M --- Full-bodied, nice carbonation, and smooth
O – Not as hoppy (in smell and taste) as other Black IPA, but very nice on a cold night if you need one or two strong but special beers. I would love to try it on tap! The score would have been higher but I'm not sure how often I need to drink this beer.
I live in Northern California and this is the first time I have had access to Uinta beer. I can't wait to try more!

12 ounce bottle, the label tells the consumer (me) that this was "Bottled on 05/27/11"
Pours near black, with some dark ruby highlights on the edges. Frothy mocha head, large and lovely, stays at the one inch level, slowly going to a thicker film, collar, sheeting, copious lacing, the works.
Chocolate infused nose, with some earthy hop notes.
Smooth, soft, subtle and tasty, with the 9.2% way in the back ground, creamy chocolate all through this one, drying herbal and again earthy hops in the rear to add the balance, bite and intrigue. Quality dark/black DIPA...well worth giving this one a try....

Had on tap at New World Tavern, Plymouth
Appearance: 1/2 inch head, dark brown in color, clear, moderate carbonation
Smell: big pine hops and chocolate
Taste: cocoa, chocolate, and big pine hops at the end
Mouthfeel: medium carbonation, medium body, sweet with a slightly bitter backbone
Overall: A nice and piney black ale. The aftertaste is a bit different/odd but that is the only thing holding this one back...and even that is not enough to offset the rest of this great tasting beer. A solid beer that I will get again.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Want to be chic Wish adidas made more pants like this!! LOVE THESE! The zipper pockets are so awesome, I can tell I'm going to be wearing these all the time to hold my phone and ipod while I'm out running, hiking, or just chillin' around town! ADIDAS, If you're listening, MAKE MORE WOMEN'S SHORTS/CAPRIS WITH POCKETS! (preferably zip pockets but any big enough to hold a phone would do). These were the only ones I could find and they only had my size for like a day. Sad cuz I want to buy more :( July 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Lovsoccer18 Nice quality but sizes run big I ordered these pants for my daughter because she loves her full length soccer warm-up but wanted something for when the weather is not quite so hot. She normally wears a medium warm-up Adidas pant so that's what we ordered for the three-quarter pant. When we got the product and she tried them on, she was disappointed to see that they were quite baggie fitting so we sent them back and ordered a small which worked much better. The return process was easy and Adidas paid for the no-hassle return. June 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Barbie Love these....but.... I bought two of the Tiro 13 Three-Quarter Pants. I wore one to my gym and absolutely loved them. I put the second pair on later only to find it did not fit me the same. It was much tighter than the first one. Very disappointed as the first fit so well. March 31, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Walter Assaulter Run Tight!! I have a pair of Adidas warm up pants that are size large, so I ordered the same thinking these would be similar. Different style of pant apparently. If you want you "junk" to show off, then these are the pants for you. They fit like bike shorts. I am going to let my 11 year old son wear these as they fit him better than me. Buy them bigger if you like a lose fit like I do. December 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 1mgrateful Very comfortable These soccer pants, that I use for working out in, are very comfortable. They move with you and not against you. A very good purchase. May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by casual wearer Great pants! These pants are very soft and comfortable. Both my daughter and I got a pair. For each of us a larger size is a little loose, but one size down is very tight. Given that I wanted them for lounging, we each went with the larger size. They fit well and have become my favorite pants. May 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by tooold crop work out pants The quality of this product is excellent; the purchase experience was easy and the pants were delivered promptly. I appreciate the free shipping. I am going to buy another pair if they go on sale. April 17, 2013

Basic Elbow Strikes for Street Fighting Self-DefenseYou may have seen top level MMA fighters using fancy and complicated strikes, but do you need to learn the same techniques to stand a chance in a street fight? In this self defense video, I (Matt) will show you the basic elbow strike, that when used properly, is DEVASTATING to an attacker on the street. After feeling a couple of these on his head and face he will quickly change his mind about wanting a piece of you. In fact, he will probably be looking to do one thing, and one thing only...RUN! That's if he is still standing of course. Elbow strikes are more effective than punches because that area of your body is a lot tougher than your hands. Even Mike Tyson broke his hand in a street fight. That is why it isn't a good idea to throw your fists. Knuckles are weak, and the bones…Read more in Close Quarters Combat Techniques
Muay Thai Clinch for Self-Defense - Street Fighting TechniquesYou've seen the top MMA fighters use the Muay Thai clinch with DEVASTATING effect, but is it possible for you to use the same techniques in a street fight? In this self defense video, Oz and I (Matt) will teach you how to utilise the Muay Thai clinch for self defense, which has to be one of the most effective street fighting techniques to remove any threat quickly and leave your attacker wondering what the hell just happened! If you have ever seen Oz fight then you will know that he has a great Muay Thai clinch, and as he has showed time and time again, it is a great tool to have in your arsenal should a situation ever escalate out of control. Once you get it right then it puts any attacker in a really BAD situation, and he will soon be wishing that he stayed at home.…Read more in Close Quarters Combat Techniques
Jiu-Jitsu Ground and Pound Defense Sweep - Self Defense Techiques & Street Fighting TipsA street fight doesn't always go your way, so what should you do if you find yourself in a BAD position? In this self defense video, Oz and I (Matt) will show you the AWESOME jiu-jitsu ground and pound defense sweep, which is an excellent weapon to have in your arsenal so that you are prepared for every situation that may arise. Sometimes things turn ugly, and an attacker manages to take you down and get on top of you. If you don't know what to do then you are in TROUBLE. Regardless of if you want them to or not, most fights go to the ground, and it is the people who know how to finish fights on the ground from any position that come away as the winner. If somebody takes you down during a fight then it is a good idea to secure the guard so that…Read more in Close Quarters Combat Techniques
Muay Thai Clinch Defense: Ju-Jitsu Throw - Jiu-Jitsu Self-DefenseOne of the most practised martial arts in the world is Muay Thai, and the Muay Thai clinch can be DEVASTATING if you are on the wrong end of it. In this self defense video, Oz and I (Matt) will show you an effective way to defend against the Muay Thai clinch, with a Japanese jiu-jitsu throw called the Kubi Naye Otoshi. When you consider that many people train in the Muay Thai martial art, then there is a very high chance that a street attacker will have had some form of training in the clinch. This is a way to protect yourself against that. It works by quickly removing yourself from the clinch and then turning a defensive situation into an ATTACKING one. If an attacker has you in a Muay Thai clinch then you can pull one of his arms down. This gives you an immediate chance to…Read more in Close Quarters Combat Techniques
Osoto Gari Takedown - Jiu-Jitsu and Self-Defense ThrowJudo might be effective in the Olympics, but do you need a gold medal to perform an effective takedown in a street fight situation? In this self defense video, I (Matt) will introduce you to the Osoto Gari takedown, which is an excellent self defense throw that you can use on any attacker who is threatening the safety of you or a loved one. When you find yourself in this situation, then you want to use every tool that you have to quickly remove the THREAT. The Osoto Gari is a takedown from Japan that is great for the beginners, and one of the best you can use in a street fight situation. It works very nicely in conjunction with an earlier technique that I showed you...the basic punch defense followed by an elbow smash. Once you have completed this move then all you have to do is sweep your…Read more in Close Quarters Combat Techniques
Street Fighting Jiu-Jitsu - The Triangle ChokeThe TRUTH of the matter is that almost all fights end up on the ground. If you are not PREPARED to take control in this situation then you will find it very hard to end a fight on the street. In this self defense video, Oz and I (Matt) will teach you a simple way to apply the triangle choke on an attacker.

how do you make a cub "hook up" better

how do you make a cub "hook up" better
these are fine little tractors and will do allot of work when you can get traction. seems like traction is the biggest problem. what do you guys do to improve the traction at a reasonable cost? i am running the IH wheel weights, i think they are 100 lbs. does anyone run additional weights in the back, what are the safe limits for these tractors to run? i think they have plenty of pushing power if only i could get that power to the ground. what about tires? does anyone run tires other then the traditional AG tires? i do have chains as well. i think this tractor should be able to push more snow easier then it has been. any suggestions?
Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
How much snow are you trying to push? I have weights and ag tires and have no problem on level ground.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
There are a 'boatload' of variables that influence the answer(s):
Is the snow light and fluffy or wet and heavy.
Fluid in the rear tires.
No fluid in the rear tires.
Air pressure in the tires.
Surface upon which you are plowing snow.
Amount of tread on the rear tires.
Design of the tread - 23 degree vs. 'dogbone' vs. 'conventional.'
Tire chains on top of or between the tread bars.
I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones that immediately come to mind.
I have loaded tires with two sets of rear weights and plow on concrete driveways. As long as I keep the concrete surface clear, I can push 10 or 12 inches of snow easily. If there is any buildup on the concrete it is much more difficult and may require chains.

Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
The rear weights are 150lb each, so 300lb. In snow/ice, when you start to spin, it is over. Use as little throttle as possible to start pushing, then increase it some. Allow the governor to add power as it is needed.
Your tires, tire pressure, chains, clutch, steering brakes, wheel weights, loaded tires, surface being plowed, angle of area being plowed, governor function, gear choice, outside temperature, texture and weight of the snow, all have something to do with how your cub will "hook up".
Experience and finding the right combination of all of these areas, is the answer to your question.
Bill H answered best, I hated to delete my answer after hunting and pecking to write it. LOL
Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
...from several years ago, forum member Tucker in Vermont has these on his Cub;
Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
Check your air pressure, then look to see if they are radial or bias ply. If radial your air pressure should be the same as the tire size. Same as when I am plowing the fields with my diesel, the tires are 18.4-something, I run 18 pounds in them, when haying I pump them up a bit to handle the weight of our equipment better
Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
You can double up the weights on the rear wheels.
Purchase an additional draw bar with brackets. Build a weight box for the new draw bar. Load the box with handy weights; rocks, cement blocks, etc.. Around $100- to $125-, give or take, for the draw bar with brackets.
Get a bigger, heavier, tractor. When things are to slick for my Cub, I use one of my bigger, weighted, tractors.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
I am in upstate NY where a 1 to 3 foot snowfall is not uncommon. I have a long, stone driveway. My snow plowing cub has front and rear weights, double ring chains plus 3 cement blocks and a 18" section of railroad track resting on a platform on the rear drawbar. Sometimes I have to plow sideways, but I have never lost traction.
Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
One thing to remember is, it's always best to run out of traction before running out of power. If you have as much traction as power that's when things start to brake.

Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
I run duel weights and fluid in the rear tires too on my working cubs. You dont see many farmers that dont have the tires full of fluid around here.
All others pay cash

Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
Dual wheel weights and an additional 250 lbs on the draw bar if necessary. Coupled with chains I can't imagine needing anything more.
Even with single wheel weights and chains, a Cub will push a lot of snow.

Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
Normally all I have on Ellie is the rear weights and me. That is about 300 lbs for the weights and 190 for me. Also run chains. Under 2 feet of snow I have not had a lot of problems and have never lost traction. This year I didn't get the splitter off of Ellie. Now there is some traction..... But it really didn't make a lot of difference. The few times I was able to plow this year (health reasons), there wasn't a noticeable difference either going up hill or down hill. Ellie moved snow just as well as in years past. When there is too much snow, one has to decide if the Cub is up to it or not. We have some Nor'easters here that only a larger tractor with a blower will do the job. If Granny was ready with the blower then it wouldn't require a different tractor, but a Cub and a blade is no match for 3 to 3-1/2 feet of heavy drifted snow. Tried that a few times and it doesn't work so well. There are times when conditions are simply too much for a Cub without a blower.

Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
These tire chains along with one weight on each side will get you lots of traction. You do not want to slip (spin) them on concrete or asphalt though.

Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
My home made duo-cross ice bar tire chains work awesome i have practically no wheel spin now even with single rear wheel weights. All my ladder tire chains did was to spin and spin more no traction at all. The ultimate snow pushin set up would be 4 rear wheel weights with my duo-cross trire chains with the ice bars they look similair to Peter's chains. You need the duo cross setup so the cross links stay up on the tire lugs. I also noticed my spreaders on the outside maybe too strong because they pull the inside side links to the edge of the inside of the tire. I figure a spreader on the inside would solve that.
To push snow we want the skinny tires on the rear with duo-cross chains and plenty of wheel weights. Actually the rear weight is the key to pushing snow with a plow. Back in the 50's when 4x4's weren't that popular we used an old ford 1 ton truck wrecker with two 55 gallon drums of water on the rear with tire chains/plow. This 2wd truck pushed all the snow we wanted it too.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
Re: how do you make a cub "hook up" better
If you're just opening the throttle, dropping the blade, and dumping the clutch, that's half your problem right there. Ya gotta "finesse" it a little bit or it's just going to break loose and spin.
It also needs to be able to spin at some point or one of these days you're going to hear a sickening POP and notice a black puddle forming underneath the rear of the tractor.
The issue here is you need to know if you're just lacking traction or asking too much of the tractor. Spinning may be saving you big $$ repairs.

Rim of the Well takes its name from something the Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca said about "duende," a Spanish term that refers to a kind of soul in art. The artist grapples with it "on the rim of well," Lorca said, giving the impression of a thrillingly precarious dance that in a moment could lose its balance.
Steve Mullins and Doug Walter, two members of the quartet Rim of the Well, engage in this kind of dance when they make music. With Mullins on guitar and Walter on marimba, the duo visited the Garage and gave a performance that twisted, twirled and ran around the rim.
Mullins is a multi-instrumentalist whose restless exploration of string-instrument possibilities has done much to expose local audiences to music that's far outside the mainstream. He is a pioneer of the banjola, which was developed by Denver luthier Edward Victor Dick. Walter is a professor of percussion at the University of Colorado at Boulder and is the only marimba and vibraphone player to win top honors in the Concert Artists Guild Competition in New York.
Head over to secondstorygarage.com to hear them perform "Rim of the Well," "Iguana Caliente" and "Equilibrio" and to check out their interview with Quentin.
What they brought us: A leftover piece of flooring -- probably our most garage-like contribution yet.

Karina's Notes:
Sometimes I make "Christmas Enchiladas" with both a verde salsa or green tomatillo sauce and a red sauce. I pour the red sauce down the center of the rolled tortillas in a wide strip and spoon the green salsa on both sides. Then I center a thin stripe of shredded cheese down the middle, studded with sliced ripe (black) olives.See also my vegetarian New Mexican green chile sauce.

Over the last few years, there has been extensive talk about the obesity problem here in the United States, particularly childhood obesity, and there's also been a good amount of dialogue on what children should do to live more healthfully.
It's been widely reported that childhood obesity is linked to a host of serious illnesses like diabetes and heart disease, so a large part of the national dialogue has also been about what kids and parents should do to eat better and get more exerceise.
But what should parents do when eating right and exercising aren't enough, and the obesity problem goes from something that can be self-managed to something that's out of control?
Although a recent study found a majority of parents oppose bariatric weight-loss surgery -- also called gastric bypass -- for their obese teens, a group of researchers say the procedure can be a big help to young patients.
Researchers found that weight-loss surgery improved blood flow among 60 percent of teens who underwent the procedure, and also decreased their heart size, which in many cases had become enlarged because of obesity.
These results were determined after a research team from Nationwide Children's Hospital conducted cardiac MRI tests on teen patients, both before and after they underwent weight loss surgery, a procedure that's not typically done on teens today.
Teen lost 100 pounds
To find out just how weight loss surgery may impact the life of a teenager, we spoke to 21-year old Kelley Allen, from New Concord, Ohio, who had bariatric surgery when she was 17 years of age.
After losing 100 pounds since the surgery, she says the changes in her life have been pretty tremendous.
"Things have changed for me in many ways since surgery, not just physically but mentally," she said in an interview with ConsumerAffairs.

A Wayne State Assistant Professor says children living in Detroit are at greater risk of lead exposure during the summer months.
In a recent study, Dr. Shawn McElmurry revealed children's blood lead levels (BLL spike during summer months because they are exposed more to contaminated soil through direct contact (playing outside) and airborne lead contaminated soil.Dr. McElmurry offers up the following tips to minimize your children's exposure to outdoor lead:1. Do your best to keep a healthy lawn.Keeping up a healthy lawn is sometimes easier said than done especially during the dog days of summer. Your yard doesn't have to look like a plush golf course, but just keeping it alive will help cut down on any lead contaminated soil getting kicked up into the air in the immediate vicinity of where your kids are playing. If you have dead portions of your lawn, where soil is revealed, it doesn't cost more than $20 to lay down grass seed. If you have a spot in your yard, where grass just won't take, you can also plant some small shrubs and lay down mulch. It will serve the same purpose a healthy lawn in this case. 2. Plant some ground cover a vacant dirt lot your neighborhood.You can do a great job of keeping your lawn nice and healthy, but if there is a vacant dirt lot in the neighborhood that can be a source of airborne lead contaminated soil. If you are part of a community group in your neighborhood, you can all pitch in and for less than couple hundred bucks get ground cover plants that don't require a ton of water or maintenance. Go to your local home improvement store and they will be able to show you which plants they have available for that purpose. 3. Try to Change "playing clothes" immediately when coming inside.Lead contaminated airborne dust isn't the only reason we believe blood lead levels spike in the summer months. Have direct contact with it can get lead into the blood stream as well. When young kids are playing outside all day they are going to get dirty. Do your best to have them change out of those clothes immediately after coming inside and get them into a laundry basket, so the dirt and dust isn't lingering inside there room until laundry day. 4. Don't play in the front yard, if it's close to the street.So much dust and dirt seems to finds its way into street gutters. Passing cars are continually kicking that up into the air. If you have a backyard, try to have the kids play back there-away from the street dust.
