procomp coil conversion - thoughts?
Has anyone used this kit before, or know someone who has?
I am concerned it won't be very strong. I understand that it will flex 10" which is close to an SOA conversion. I like the idea of the smoother ride on and off trail. Thoughts?

It a piece of shit. I had one on my jeep when I got it. First trip out and I was very disappointed in it. The link geometry is very bad. The kit would never drive strait on the hw. I now am SOA and it drives 1000 times better.

shyt why? You only mention driving straight. Any other reasons? Driving straight theoretically can be fixed, depends on why.
I have read that the kit causes torque bump, turns the direction of the motor torquing. Did you feel this? Thanks

If you want to go to coils on your YJ, DO NOT GET THE PROCOMP ONE!!!, a friend of mine did and he hated it... I went the Rockkrawler route... and I love it... Im in the process of modifying it tho... 4 inch strech in the front and another 2 inched in the rear on the already 7 inches, Im hopeing this summer i can trade the 10 inch coils for 16 or 18s

The kit is designed for easy install, not great performance. There are no flex joints in the arms, just short arms with stiff poly bushings, also the coils are mounted in a manner that will also limit flex. The one I have seen on the trail flexed worse then most half decent 4" SUA lifts, not even close to a properly setup SOA rig.

The rockkrawler one that I could find was a coil-over. So is the black diamond one. I have no experience installing coil overs, nor have I even heard of them on the trail. Would it be better if I stayed with SOA?

For the rockkrawler and black diamond its not like your buying a coilover and have to make mounts for it and figure out the angle you want it at, its a kit, thats why you pay so much $$$ for it cause they have figured everything out for you. And if you havent heard of them on the trail, then i dont know what to say about that.........I havent ever seen a rockkrawler kit in action, but I have seen the Black Diamond kit and it works really well...............

I have heard of them, but I havn't ever seen one on the trail. Many people talk about them but don't have the $$$ as you say.
Thanks for the input, I appreciate it. I think I am soured on the procomp kit, there hasn't been 1 positive response, which concerns me. The rockkrawler kit looks like the way I will go if not SOA. Its just the fabrication that is kickin me in the butt which is why I was considering the procomp kit.

I wheeled with a guy who had it once a long ass time ago. It was awful, he had NO flex at all, he struggled badly all day on minor obsticles. Here's a pic of the guy, my heep had all 4 tires planted fine on this same line. The dude just fell in with us that day, uninvited. Couldn't drive and his rig sucked.

I looked at the black diamond kit, but didn't quite know what to do with the info I had found. I understand that Warn once owned it, then droped it. Another company picked it up, I forget the name but I think it was Superlift Suspension Systems. Now I have heard that Warn has picked it back up again. I did find a link from Superlift.com titled "Black Diamond: Advanced Off-Road Equipment by Superlift" that links to blackdiamondoffroad.com. So I am making an assumption that blackdiamondoffroad.com is Superlift, or vice-versa. I am however unable to find any kit on Warns page, or by googling for a Warn kit. So when people mention "Black Diamond Coil Over kit" I don't know which one they are talking about to understand what is being reviewed. Is there really only one kit, made by Superlift under then name of black diamond? Also did Warn own black diamond at one time and sell the entire company to Superlift, not just the coil-over kit?

We had a guy in the club with one of the first Black Diamond kits. It had crzy, mad flex. Even though he was open a large part of the time he had it, the tires were on the ground, and had enough ground pressure to move the Jeep.
That YJ above with the flexless Pro-Crap kit also has the world's greatest tires... can't imagine why it would get stuck.

friend of mine has the procrap coil conversion...he hates it and has since he installed it...way overpriced and its a piece of crap...i think it flexes less than a stock yj...literally a few inches of travel at each end. he is taking if off and doin a SOA.
Now lets have a look at this pic: -snorkle -turdbirds -winch plate with no winch -procrap coil conversion -bushwackers -3" body lift -if you can read this sticker -street locks ...sounds like a dumbass already without even seeing him drive.

procomp kit 2 years now- sucks
the kit doesn't articulate at all. You go to pull up onthe ramp and at 10 inches off the ground the tire is spinning off the ground. on the trail this makes it very tippy on rocks that shouldn't roll ya. rides great on low end trails and on the road. I'm gonna rip mine out this winter and go with black diamond or other coil over kit, or perhaps go back to leaf springs. Knowing it's limitations I pick my line carefully and with front and rear lockers it gets by. Without lockers front and rear I wouldn't even take it on the trail. Did I mention how far under the axle the hardware sits? Hits everything and destroys the shock mounts as well. rear axle cant be rotated upward to run a CV shaft because the rear track bar mount doesn't line up if you do. Short control arms with 5.5 lift equals tires that don't climb the rocks very well at all due to the steep control arm angle. Did I mention how the front track bar mount doesn't account for any twisting of the axle and eventually fails. I had to fabricate a new one and then bought a front track bar with heim joints. AHHHH! Gonna rip it out this winter for sure.

Greate info wgilbertpt.
And to everyone else that has responded I really appreciate the help. Especially the pictures (1000 words and all). I am definately convinced to run like hell from this kit. So now its just a decistion on SOA or coil-over. And that decision is all about $$$. I am really interested in hearing more about the Black Diamond kit. I am going to get in touch with Fabtech and see when their kit will be available that Teddy Blue mentioned. If anyone has anymore info on the Black Diamond kit, or info on the Fabtech kit I would really appreciated it. To those experienced on the board should I put that in a different thread? Thanks again to all.

Heb. goel, from root meaning to redeem. The goel among the Hebrews was the nearest male blood relation alive. Certain important obligations devolved upon him toward his next of kin. (1.) If any one from poverty was unable to redeem his inheritance, it was the duty of the kinsman to redeem it (Lev. 25:25,28; Ruth 3:9, 12). He was also required to redeem his relation who had sold himself into slavery (Lev. 25:48, 49).
God is the Goel of his people because he redeems them (Ex. 6:6; Isa. 43:1; 41:14; 44:6, 22; 48:20; Ps. 103:4; Job 19:25, etc.).
(2.) The goel also was the avenger (q.v.) of blood (Num. 35:21) in the case of the murder of the next of kin.

ACC quarterback battles continue as season openers loom
AUG 22, 2014 5:55p ET
College football is not all about quarterback play. But we've seen its importance, particularly over the last decade or so. And if it's the most important position on the field, then the ACC is going to be in for a lot of uncertainty this season.
Jameis Winston (Florida State), Anthony Boone (Duke) and Terrel Hunt (Syracuse) return as starters for their teams, but there are no other returning starters in the ACC who are sure bets to keep their jobs right now.
Even Boone and Winston face uncertainty behind them. At Duke, backup Brandon Connette left the program after the spring, leaving the Blue Devils without the offensive wrinkle he provided. At Florida State, backup Jacob Coker transferred to Alabama or his final year as a graduate student.
As fall camp winds down, though, starting jobs are being won and backups are being established, in some cases, across the ACC. Time is running out, so let's take a look at where the ACC schools are in terms of their various quarterback situations with game week approaching.
The starter: Tyler Murphy, the graduate student transfer from Florida. Head coach Steve Addazio worked with him when he was on the Gators' staff, and he knows what Addazio wants to do on offense. He probably won't be spectacular, but he'll be just fine.
Others: Redshirt freshman James Walsh was supposed to be the backup, but he left the team at the start of camp. The only other two quarterbacks are true freshmen, Troy Flutie (yes, a member of that Flutie family) and Darius Wade, who's thought to be the quarterback of the future after Murphy's one year on campus.
The starter: Cole Stoudt, redshirt senior. He's patiently waited his turn throughout Tajh Boyd's illustrious career, and that patience has paid off. He has a talented freshman waiting in the wings behind him, but it will likely be his job unless he plays so poorly that his head coach Dabo Swinney has no choice.
Others: Deshaun Watson, a true freshman, is going to play, according to Swinney. And from the sound of it,

Election-Day in Chi-Town is history, noteworthy only because it settled nothing. Chicago has neither a triumphant incumbent nor an eager new "Your Honor." This election was a primary which picked the top two vote getters to face off on April 7th. Just when most of us thought it safe to go back to campaign-free lives!
Mayor Emanuel received the most votes, roughly 45%. But Chicago's winners need 50%+1 to win. Hence, Mayor Emanuel and Cook County Commissioner Jesus Chuy Garcia, (the next highest vote getter at nearly 35%) will go head to head on April 7th.
With three fewer candidates in the race it's almost certain that one will received 50%+1 of the vote. But a 50/50 split is possible. Thus, we could have elections until the proverbial cows come home or one candidate manages to snag that needed vote. I'd hate to be the Civics teacher trying to explain that one.
What can we learn from an election that elected nobody? The first thing that hit my Java and I was the low turnout. A pitifully small amount of Chicagoans decided that Chicago will face another mayoral election. Don't blame these civic-minded citizens for taking their civic duties seriously. Where were the rest of you?
Some voters stayed home because there was no "none of the above" box on their ballots. Flash: Candidates come complete with human weaknesses. If you want a more perfect candidate, vote in the primaries. Better qualified candidates get on the ballot when everyone votes in the primary. Mme. Confucius notes, "The smaller the primary vote the scuzzier the candidates."
Dirty campaigning lowers voter turnout. Last election one candidate used a racial slur; another charged a rival with unlawful use of real estate deductions; another charged Mayor Emanuel with not caring about poorer neighborhoods…And things will get dirtier. Both candidates can claim minority status. Let's hope that doesn't become an issue. As Mme. Confucius says: "He or she who slings mud gets hands dirty."

Measles is alive and well--and infecting our children. It first reappeared in Disneyland (how apt) and has since spread to at least 14 states. Most Illinois cases center in Cook County. Besides a very ugly, itchy rash, measles attacks eyesight, brain function, and can cause pneumonia. Scratching the rash causes disfigurement. Here's a killer worthy of the title 'terrorist.'
Why has measles come roaring back? A London study in the 1990s claimed that measles vaccine caused autism and many parents believed it. The study was completely discredited and has been pulled from the files. But the fear lived on. Once parents stopped vaccinating their children measles took a victory lap.
Autism has become our equivalent to the French Revolution's "Great Fear." A friend relates that she and husband were sitting for their newborn granddaughter. The child started to cry and Grandma picked her up and began to rock her. Just then the opera Manon by Jules Massenet came on the air. Baby nestled in Grandma's arms, fell sound asleep and stayed asleep until Manon died her beautiful opera death. Then Baby screamed for an encore.
Grandma and Grandpa rocked her back to sleep; later told her parents what happened. The parents were horrified: Didn't Grandma and Grandpa know that all operas including Massenet's caused autism? Only small doses of Mozart are safe. Both grandparents had trouble keeping straight faces. If that were true 50,000,000 Frenchmen, not to mention the rest of Europe would be autistic.
Time for a reality vaccination.
Both my husband and I had measles prior to 1963. It was a harsh rite of childhood. Shortly afterward, we both needed glasses. For a friend measles resulted two brain tumors, and a paralyzed arm.
There was no question about vaccinating our child. He never contended with any childhood diseases. No child ever should.
Listen up parents; here's the skivvy: Vaccinations prevent measles. Neither they nor operas cause autism. Let's wipe out this disease before it kills or maims anymore of our kids. Vaccinate NOW!

Ernie Banks, Mr. Cub and Mr. Chicago, died on January 23, 2015…and all Chicago mourned the no-longer-living icon. Banks' statue will remain in Daley Plaza until Sunday February 1st. Banks was beloved by all of Cook County, even White Sox fans. I hoped he'd celebrate his 100th with us. But what an extraordinary life Banks lived. My thoughts walked down memory lane.
I first saw Banks play in 1953 during a family outing to Wrigley. When Banks came to bat my mother said, "That's Ernie Banks. He's our star." We cheered, as did all Cub fans. There was no black and white, only our hero Ernie Banks. I don't remember whether or not the Cubs won that day, but I do remember Banks hitting well.
I didn't know then that Ernie Banks and Gene Baker were trailblazers, among the first African-American players in major league baseball. We're still living with the mess left by the Supreme Court's 1982 decision that black and white were "separate but equal."
Banks got his playing experience in the Negro League Kansas City Monarchs before coming to the Cubs. Banks played on the Cubs until 1968. After that he remained a much-loved Chicago symbol. Banks promoted education, sports, and programs that help young people get ahead. In 2013 famed artist "Nico" Nicolosi painted a chair in Banks' honor, which was displayed on Michigan Avenue and later sold at a celebrity auction.
Banks personally touched my family's lives. My son met Banks when he worked at a golf club. Ernie talked with him and signed his autograph; he was beyond happy. They had other meetings and became friendly. Then I had a chance to teach in India for a year and my husband and I started planning to go. My son sadly told Banks about it, saying he'd miss us. Banks replied, "Then…I'll be your father."
If there's baseball in Heaven, Ernie Banks will be playing slugger-shortstop on the Heavenly Cubs. Batter-Up!

A recent 60 Minutes feature inspired this blog. It was the story of a current Broadway show featuring songs that had been popular among African-Americans in the 1940s-1960s. The characters also told their personal stories, and the piece concluded with the seniors joyfully teaching young black singers how to sing the older music.
That piece touched a nerve. "Why can't something like that Broadway show happen here?" I wondered. Senior citizens came out of a world we've lost. Only some vintage styles are left of the world that shaped me as an adult. Today's culture focuses on the youth, the ones who shape the trends; the models in ads. Seniors are an invisible demographic. Surveys of the over 65 crowd on their views of culture, style and politics are rare.
Yet some local talented and motivated seniors have indeed been giving similar performances for years. Cases in point: North suburban residents Sally Jablo and Shelle' Malina, both over 70 have retired, yet they continue serving their communities.
Malina professionally planned events, among other executive duties. Today she often chairs and plans events for Chicago and north suburban Hadassah. Malina also sings in the Skokie Community Chorus as a 1st soprano. Members of that chorus include children as well as senior citizens. The eldest singer is over 90. The older singers often mentor the younger members.
Jablo sang musical leads in community and professional theater. As a teen, Jablo ushered at the Lyric Opera. She recounts the time that the late Maria Callas invited all the ushers backstage after the performance. Jablo recalls fondly that Mme. Callas thanked them for their work. Jablo's still singing. She's a member of Still Acting Up, an acting and musical group of senior citizens sponsored by the Skokie Park District.
I'm lucky to know these women. They've found ways to continue giving to their communities. Its high time more seniors entered the limelight. They have a lifetime of experiences to share. And oh do we need their experiences.

On January 7th, two terrorists entered the conference room of Charlie Hebdo magazine and murdered 10 members of Charlie's editorial staff and two police officers at point blank range. Suspects Cherif and Said Kouachi hated Charlie because it satirized Mohammed. When caught they'll face France's wrath.
The press figures mightily into French history. French pamphleteers spread the idea of "liberte, egalite, fraternite" during the French Revolution. Three French journalists refused to allow King Charles X to shut down their press in July, 1830, which touched off the revolution that drove the Bourbon kings out of France. In 1898, French journalist, Emile Zola accused the French military of railroading Alfred Dreyfus into life at Devil's Island on a trumped-up treason charge. Zola's writings led to Alfred Dreyfus' exoneration.
Terrorists hate the press' freedom. The attempt, apparently by North Korea, to suppress the Interview's release is yet another side of the same terrorist coin. What does this have to do with us? The events that occurred in Paris could happen here. We're used to strong editorials and don't usually worry about someone disagreeing to the point of murder. But since 9/11, the impossible has become all-too-possible. Journalists now must weigh the impact of their words.
The best journalists write according to the dictates of their consciences; they're essential to a free society. Satire and well-worded editorials often make people think, then question and act, resulting in a free society. Terrorists cannot stand freedom; the Kouachi brothers and their ilk have twisted Islam into a set oppressive laws. A free society spurns, then ignores this type of religious fanaticism. Terror alone brought the Kouachi's into the spotlight.
Scratch a terrorist and you'll find a coward and a bully. The Kouachi's have nothing to offer other than violence and mayhem…and they will pay.
Stephane ("Charb") Charbonnier, Charlie's editor said he would rather die standing up than on his knees. Alas, he got his wish, but his courage lives on. Vive la France.
Dec 31, 2014 -- 9:41pm
The Chicago Bears' season ended with almost twice the losses as wins, which resulted in the Bears coming in dead last in their division. So it was no surprise that the Bear's owners fired Head Coach Mark Trestman, Offensive Coach Aaron Kromer, and General Manager Phil Emery. By March, said owners no doubt will announce their new head coach, offensive coach and general manager, whereupon they will promise that the Bad News Bears will morph into the Super Bowl champion Bears. I hope so; so does my Java. Who knows, maybe there'll be a halo effect, and the Cubs will win the 2015 World Series.
Enough. Back to reality. Sport teams' owners expect their team to win. If their team loses repeatedly, the coach, manager and the worst players are fired, released or traded. Perform or you're history. But what would happen if the rest of Cook County was held to the same standard—succeed or lose your job?
Picture it. Streets & Sanitation promises to patch all the potholes by May 15th, but May 15th comes and goes and pot-holes abound like the daffodils. By July 1st there's new management which launches a patch-up campaign to be completed by September 1st—or else.
Illinois has adopted the Core Curriculum. Teachers will be required to have their classes and their schools materially improve on tests or the whole staff will be fired; if lucky, they may be allowed to reapply for their jobs. This is already occurring in Chicago's most troubled schools. What if it were standard operating procedure?
What if the cops were expected to catch the crooks 95% of the time; the judges to rule with minimal reversals; elected officials to achieve their promises? What if poor performance meant firing—election or not? It would mean more responsibility in the workplace.
But it would also mean more responsibility on citizens to vote and to care. Here's to a more responsible 2015.

Foxconn X38A Digital Life Motherboard - Benchmarks - 3DMark06
Foxconn are now pushing into the enthusiast motherboard sector. We look at an X38 based board with DDR2 & DDR3 support.3DMark06
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.1.0
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark06/
3DMark06 is the very latest version of the "Gamers Benchmark" from FutureMark. The newest version of 3DMark expands on the tests in 3DMark05 by adding graphical effects using Shader Model 3.0 and HDR (High Dynamic Range lighting) which will push even the best DX9 graphics cards to the extremes.
3DMark06 also focuses on not just the GPU but the CPU using the AGEIA PhysX software physics library to effectively test single and Dual Core processors.
3DMark06 shows us that it does prefer DDR3 memory over DDR2. Intel sure got it right for DDR3, the setups we had equaled each other in stock and overclocked.

In response to a November 2011 column in which railroad artifacts were discussed and pictured, Eugene Carl Griggs of Lugoff called to say he enjoyed it very much. Gene is a retired former employee of the Seaboard Railway. Little did this columnist know our conversation would lead into some very interesting and little known areas of World War II history.
(Columnist Clarence Page is on vacation. In his absence, Robert Koehler, an award-winning, Chicago-based journalist and nationally syndicated writer, is featured today.)
Let's start with some good news:
Unless you've been holed up in a basement somewhere for the past few years -- if you seldom read a newspaper or watch a news broadcast on television -- you are aware of global warming and the catastrophic effects it could have upon our planet.
Even without knowing the intricate details of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, also known as No Child Left Behind (NCLB), many have come across a teacher or two who says that their creativity and long-term effectiveness in the classroom has become limited since the implementation of NCLB. Consequently, it is honorable that the state of South Carolina has been motivated to submit a request for flexibility in NCLB requirements early next year and requests the input of the "community" of South Carolina.
Ah, a New Year.
(Columnist Kathleen Parker is on vacation. In her absence, Ruth Marcus, a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group, is featured today.)
Only once since my foolish adolescence do I recall actually feeling fortunate to be a smoker, a truly insidious addiction that I have since kicked. It was the slightly chilly Washington evening on which I was joined during a smoke break at a friend's birthday party by Christopher Hitchens, one of the few people who can be called a journalist-intellectual without it sounding like a punch line.
Imagine a place where jobs are plentiful, and the housing market is thriving. A place where even low-playing service jobs come with signing bonuses and other benefits.
Last week, I named Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews as my 2011 Person of the Year. Inevitably, any thoughts of law enforcement bring me thoughts of crime. Sometimes reading crime reports can be the most enjoyable part of the day.
WASHINGTON -- The Republicans' final debate preceding the Iowa caucuses is suddenly uncompelling. There is nothing to do but write about Christopher Hitchens, whose death has made the world immeasurably less interesting.
Choosing a career in the media makes me a willing martyr. Although I am drawn to the glossy covers of magazines and daydream about seeing my 10-point byline in publications nationwide, making a living as a reporter means continuously living in my most vulnerable state.
A conservative Christian group has launched a boycott against "All-American Muslim." The TLC reality TV show about Muslim families in America fails to live down to the group's narrow-minded stereotypes. Their gripe, in my view, makes about as much sense as boycotting "The Cosby Show" because it doesn't mention black street gangs.
Dear Santa:
WASHINGTON -- Callista Gingrich has done something she might come to regret -- succumbed to the Twitter fairy and opened the door to unwelcome scrutiny.
Lying is in the news these days.
WASHINGTON -- Denizens of social media were rankled during Sunday night's Academy Awards telecast when actor Sean Penn made a crack about Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and green cards.
One of my weekly duties here at the Chronicle-Independent is to visit the Walter M. Crower Animal Shelter in Camden and take photos of pets available for adoption to be printed in our Friday edition each week. Actually, I take photos of two cats and two dogs and half of those are published weekly in the West Wateree Chronicle.
Murder is a strong word and truth be known it's not really what happens (unfortunately) when a crape myrtle, a Southern signature tree is topped, but it has become a familiar vernacular amongst plant people. If crape myrtles did in fact die when they were butchered, then the practice would stop.
Republicans seem ceaselessly enamored of litmus tests, but the newest one -- Do you believe President Obama loves America? -- makes birthers seem witty.
"Seriously, moron? How about just clean up the place already!"
On Feb. 5, around 1:15 p.m., students at the University of South Carolina (USC) received a text message warning "SHOTS FIRED" -- two words which would send chills and panic through the large campus that is home to nearly 32,000 students.
During those times when it gets positively frigid here in Kershaw County -- say, 9 degrees when I woke up Friday morning -- I often tell people, "This isn't why I moved down South."
One of my friends called the other. One of my best friends. There was both urgency and distress in her voice.

& Letitia's historical life before she came to Douglas County
Bob Zybach (b. 1948) has been Program Manager for ORWW.org since 1996. He has a PhD from Oregon State University (OSU) in Environmental Sciences, with a research focus on forest and wildfire history. He also has an MAIS and a BS from OSU, each in the field of Forest Sciences. He has been widely published and interviewed in the public media on the topics of forest history, fire history, reforestation, wildlife habitat, Oregon Indian history, Oregon black history, and scientific peer review methodology. Zybach is a 5th-generation Oregonian and just became a great-grandparent to Kindal Scott Zybach on October 1, 2014. He has been working on two scholarly articles and a detailed biography of Letitia Carson with Janet Meranda of Salem, Oregon since 1989.
Email: email@example.com
Website: www.NWMapsCo.com/ZybachB/Curriculum_Vitae
Carson, Letitia (ca.1814-1888)
Letitia Carson was likely born from 1814 -1818 as a slave in Kentucky. Nothing is known of her early life or how she got to Missouri at some point before 1845. Very possibly she was involved in the hemp or tobacco farming industries, whether as a field hand or house servant or both. She was likely a Baptist or Methodist and attended Sunday services in her owner's church or with an all-black congregation; possibly some of each.
In May 1845, Letitia began a 6-month journey across the Oregon Trail with Irishman David Carson, a 45-year old Platte County, Missouri landowner who had become an American citizen in October 1844. On June 9, somewhere near the crossing of the South Platte River, where the Oregon Trail begins to follow the North Fork, Letitia gave birth to the couple's first child, Martha.
Soon after arriving in Oregon, the family of three settled down in a cabin they built on David's 640-acre Soap Creek Valley land claim. Son Adam joined the family in 1849, during the California Gold Rush. In 1850, the Oregon Donation Land Act reduced Carson's claim to 320-acres because Letitia was not David's wife: it was illegal for them to get married, and illegal for a black person to make an Oregon land claim.
In September 1852, David died after a short illness, leaving Letitia and their two children behind. A wealthy white neighbor, Greenberry Smith, became Executor of the estate and declared that, as slaves, Letitia and the children were themselves property and therefore not entitled as heirs to the estate. This was in Oregon, though, so they weren't individually appraised or put up for distribution or sale as would have happened had David died in Platte County.
In 1854, Letitia sued Smith twice in an effort to recover an equitable portion of David's estate for herself and her children — and prevailed both times! These results were politically newsworthy, unprecedented, the hearings were attended by many prominent local and state citizens — and yet were barely acknowledged in the local or state press at that time.
Following David's death, and during the jury trials, Letitia and the children left their Soap Creek Valley home and moved to upper Cow Creek Valley in Douglas County. Here she served as a midwife to the locally prominent Elliff family and was involved with the Rogue River Indian Wars of 1855-1856.
In 1859, Oregon became a State and formally adopted its 1857 Constitution, which was the only US State Constitution to include an exclusionary law, making it illegal for black immigrants to live in Oregon, own property, or file suit in a court of law. Letitia and her children – possibly by design — are not found in 1860 census records, although they most likely continued living in Douglas County during that time. In May 1862, President Lincoln signed the Homestead Act into law and on June 17, 1863, Letitia Carson filed a Homestead Act claim for 160 acres on South Myrtle Creek in Douglas County, Oregon. She filed as a "widow" and single mother of two children; and although the Act included "freed slaves," Letitia didn't identify herself as such.
In 1864, Letitia's first known grandchild, Mary Alice, was born. In January 1868, daughter Martha married Narcisse Lavadour, a member of a local Metis family who settled a few miles south of Letitia. In June 1868, Letitia's Homestead claim was certified by President Grant; one of the very first 71 homestead claims – of 1.6 million total – ever certified in the US.
Letitia lived another 20 years on her ranch, which included a barn, a smokehouse, cattle, pigs, a two-story house and an orchard of over 100 trees. Her daughter Martha raised several more grandchildren within a few hours ride of her mother. In 1888, Letitia died and was buried a few miles from her Homestead, in the Benjamin Stephens pioneer family graveyard.

BSC for near wall speakers
I've been giving this a lot of thought. The general idea is the roll off occurs due to baffle width allowing frequencies to go around the speaker. This assumes a free standing speaker, away from boundaries such as walls.
However, with a speaker mounted on the wall, or standing on the floor with it's back against the wall, at some point the wall again comes into play, and you should see the response rise again at frequency wavelengths longer than the combined baffle width/cabinet depth distance, creating more of a broad shallow notch in the response vs a shelving of the response. What do you think? And if this is true, how does one create a circuit to compensate for this? |

The BS should be less with the speaker next to a wall. All you need do is adjust a standard BSC circuit to have LESS compensation.

And that I have done for my newest, going with 3db instead of 6db compensation.
Still, it seems to me that because of the wall's proximity, one would likely see a broad and shallow notch rather than the shelving response. |

Yes you need less overall BSC and yes you will get a severe discontinuity, unless you build a relatively very wide and shallow box for wall placement. The problem with most boxes is a severe wall dip, right where you don't want it. Easy to confirm will any decent box speaker, they sound poor near any wall. The dip drops in frequency and magnitude the further away from a wall it is. rgds, sreten. Worst is a box about the size of your head against a wall, grim stuff.

Designing principles for near the wall-speakers
Here are some curves of a speaker mounted on wall and an EQ network that corrects for it. David S. |

The network is not a "network" but the resultant filter response shown in the center graphs. The left curves show an on-wall speaker against the wall and in free space. The curve with accentualted bass and the lower midrange dip is the one against the wall. The cure was to have 2 different switchable networks for the "lower" woofer of a 2 1/2 way design. For free space the usual 1st order rolloff of the lower woofer. For the boundary condition a bumped 2nd order network with the bump very carefully placed at the dip frequency.
2nd group of curves show the resultant 2 pi corrected curve vs. the free space curve. Good correction for a passive network. You could do a little better with an active correction. Note that these types of corrections must be precisely done for the exact boundary conditions that you are under. David S. |

Friday's Mini-Report, 2.27.15
Today's edition of quick hits:
* The Senate easily approved a clean bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security. The House responded with Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) plan for a three-week extension, but House Republicans ignored their ostensible leader and killed Boehner's bill.
* With fewer than seven hours remaining before the DHS shutdown, it looks like the House is confronted with two options: the Senate bill or nothing.
* Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) with some words of wisdom for his fellow Republicans in Congress: "Hopefully we're gonna end the attaching of bulls**t to essential items of the government." Hopefully, indeed.
* The suspected gunman appears to have killed himself: "A gunman killed seven people in a door-to-door shooting spree across the rural Missouri community of Tyrone before turning his weapon on himself, police said Friday. A ninth person at a home searched during the investigation was also found dead, but apparently of natural causes."
* Ukraine: "International monitors said Friday the conflict in Ukraine was at a "crossroads" as further losses among government forces rattled a two-week-old truce just as it seemed to be gaining traction."
* Financial regulatory reform works: "Global regulators have issued dozens of rules aimed at making the biggest banks safer. That's leading to another result some wanted: making them shrink."
* Someone apparently wants attention again: "North Korea vowed to wage a 'merciless, sacred war' against the United States on Thursday, days before the launch of annual joint South Korea-US military exercises that have incensed Pyongyang."
Georgia Republican clarifies vaccination comments
We talked earlier about Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), who made some curious comments at a town-hall meeting last week when asked about vaccinations.
"I believe it's the parents' decision whether to immunize or not. And so I'm looking at [my] wife -- most of our children, we didn't immunize. They're healthy. Of course, home schooling, we didn't have to get the mandatory immunization."
Today, the Republican congressman decided to follow up with a statement intended to clarify his beliefs.
"My family's choices surrounding healthcare have been misinterpreted as a statement against immunization. I believe it is a parent's right and responsibility to make all healthcare choices affecting their family. The advancements of healthcare science throughout our history have saved countless lives around the world, and as a member of Congress, I fully support our scientific community."
The fact that Loudermilk followed up with a general endorsement of science is a good thing, I suppose, but the clarification doesn't entirely help.

Rubio blasts ISIS strategy he supports
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is clearly aware of the fact that many of the Republican presidential candidates are current or former governors. But the Florida senator believes he would have an important advantage over his GOP rivals.
"The next president of the United States needs to be someone that has a clear view of what's happening in the world, a clear strategic vision of America's role in it and a clear practical plan for how to engage America in global affairs," Rubio said. He added that for governors running for the White House, international affairs will be "a challenge, at least initially, because they don't deal with foreign policy on a daily basis."
On the surface, that's not a bad pitch. Indeed, presidential candidates from the Senate have made similar arguments against governors for many years. But listening to Rubio's remarks this morning at CPAC, the trouble is that his own views on foreign policy need quite a bit of work.
"ISIS is a radical Sunni Islamic group. They need to be defeated on the ground by a Sunni military force with air support from the United States," Rubio said."Put together a coalition of armed regional governments to confront [ISIS] on the ground with U.S. special forces support, logistical support, intelligence support and the most devastating air support possible," he added, "and you will wipe ISIS out."Rubio's remarks solicited applause from the mostly college-aged audience, as did the senator's claim that "the reason Obama hasn't put in place a military strategy to defeat ISIS is because he doesn't want to upset Iran," during sensitive negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.
Given Rubio's interest in the issue, and the months of research and preparation he's completed, I'm genuinely surprised at how bizarre this is.

Friday's Campaign Round-Up, 2.27.15
Today's installment of campaign-related news items that won't necessarily generate a post of their own, but may be of interest to political observers:
* In a tragic development, Missouri's State Auditor, 54-year-old Tom Schweich, died yesterday of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Schweich was widely seen as a top contender in Missouri's gubernatorial race next year.
* Asked yesterday for his views on net neutrality, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) punted, saying only, "I think on that ... the guiding principle should be freedom." By all appearances, the governor did not seem to know what net neutrality is.
* Hillary Clinton hasn't officially announced her 2016 plans, but her campaign operation has begun to fill key staffing positions. A former congressional aide, Amanda Renteria, who ran an unsuccessful congressional campaign last year, will reportedly be Clinton's political director.
* It's not just CPAC week for Republicans; the Club For Growth's annual winter conference is also being held this week. Among the likely presidential candidates who'll reportedly appear at the closed-door event: Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Ted Cruz, Gov. Mike Pence, and Gov. Bobby Jindal.
* Just two days after saying he might run for the Senate in 2016, former Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) brought some clarity to his plans this morning. "In response to various questions: I will not be running for the U.S. Senate in 2016," Akin said in a statement.
* How much does Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) hate his likely successor, Sen. David Vitter (R)? Asked about their relationship, the governor told a reporter this week, "If you turn [your recorder] off, I'll tell you what I really think about him."
GOP lawmaker pondered Eric Holder's arrest
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), currently wrapping up his first full month as a U.S. congressman, is already well on his way to making a name for himself.
For example, at his first town hall meeting last week, the Georgia Republican fielded a question about vaccinations. Loudermilk, looking at his wife, told his constituents, "Most of our children, we didn't immunize. They're healthy. Of course, home schooling, we didn't have to get the mandatory immunization." Loudermilk, by the way, is the chairman of a House Science subcommittee.
Oh my.
Just as amazing, though, was the Georgia lawmaker saying that some House Republicans had discussed the prospect of Attorney General Eric Holder getting arrested at last months' State of the Union address.
"There was a discussion before the State of the Union of, because of holding Eric Holder in contempt, what role will the House play if he shows up on the House floor for the State of the Union because he's been held in legal contempt of U.S. Congress," Loudermilk said. "And there was a discussion, 'Will the Sergeant-at-Arms arrest him?' But they checked with some of the attorneys and they said some other things were going on."
He didn't specify what those "other things" might be that prevented the arrest of the nation's chief law enforcement officer.
Loudermilk added that he's concerned about the Muslim Brotherhood having "White House access."
The other part of Christie's 'record' on abortion rights
At CPAC yesterday, Laura Ingraham asked New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) a common question about his presidential ambitions. "Where does social conservatism and Chris Christie live together?" the conservative media figure asked. Ingraham noted there are plenty of "strong social conservatives" in the 2016 field, and asked, "How do you compete?"
The governor replied:
"I just stand on my record. I mean, I'm pro-life. I ran as a pro-life candidate in 2009 unapologetically, spoke at the pro-life rally on the steps of the statehouse. The first governor to ever speak at a pro-life rally on the steps of the statehouse in New Jersey, and vetoed Planned Parenthood funding five times out of the New Jersey budget."
Planned Parenthood, of course, has traditionally enjoyed bipartisan support. In fact, Christie should probably ask President Romney about the political utility of attacking the non-profit health organization*.
But even putting that aside, when Christie says he can appeal to social conservatives by standing on his "record," that's probably more complicated than he'd like to admit. The governor boasted yesterday that he "ran as a pro-life candidate in 2009," but it was necessary to clarify the year because Christie has not always run as a candidate opposed to abortion rights.
For much of the 1990s, Christie was unapologetically pro-choice -- and he used to brag to voters in his early elections about the personal donations he'd made to Planned Parenthood.
Ted Cruz tries triangulation with a twist
Successful presidential candidates have often made good use of a "triangulation" strategy. Different political scientists may offer competing definitions of the phrase, but the basic idea is to exploit public disapproval of both parties by positioning a candidate as something altogether separate -- and better.
Bill Clinton was known for his embrace of triangulation, offering himself as a "third way" between the left and right, though George W. Bush dabbled in this, too. In late 1999, the then-Texas governor said of his own party's budget plan, "I don't think they ought to balance their budget on the backs of the poor." (We were supposed to note the use of "they," instead of "we.")
When both parties are unpopular, this can be a smart and effective tactic. Many voters will gravitate towards national candidates willing to criticize both parties, including their own. And with this in mind, it was interesting yesterday to see Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) try a similar move in his CPAC remarks (thanks to my colleague Nick Tuths for the heads-up).
Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) came out swinging against members of his own party Thursday, telling a conference of conservative activists that GOP leaders in Congress had sold out to Democrats on immigration and that presidential contenders should be judged by their willingness to stand up to the party establishment."The biggest division we have in the country is not between Republicans and Democrats,'' Mr. Cruz, a likely 2016 presidential contender, told the Conservative Political Action Conference. "It is between career politicians in Washington and the American people."
"If you have a candidate who's stood against Democrats, that's great," the Republican senator said, quickly adding, "When have you been willing to stand up against Republicans? When have you been willing to stand with the people?"
To be sure, this is not, strictly speaking, how triangulation has traditionally been defined -- Cruz isn't putting himself between the two parties.
But it's arguably triangulation with a twist. Instead of rejecting two parties as the extremes, Cruz is saying he opposes what he sees as two moderate parties. The Texas senator doesn't want to be above or between Democrats and Republicans; he wants to be to their right.

Instead of proposing a liberal alternative, the United States seems to be apologizing. Statements explaining away the actions of ISIS with lack of job opportunities or poor governance can be used to justify genocide. But the strongest indication that America has entered crisis-mode is that it can no longer make its case.
When Black History month came around this year, I decided to spend the entire month finding and sharing Black History you didn't learn in school.
People who want to lead their country, in all likelihood, love their country. I wouldn't want to lead something I don't love. That's why I never ran for president of soccer or humidity or the Kardashians.
In the face of such powerful opposition, how can we account for Bibi's stubborn determination? Why is he so resolute? Why all the bluster and bombast? Anthropologists have a deceptively simple answer: Bibi is behaving like a Melanesian Big Man.
Alberta tar sands oil and North Dakota light shale oil flows into the same markets, have access to the same refineries, and rely on the same pipelines and railroads to get them to the same customers. So it was never terribly plausible that Keystone would be good for the U.S. -- it was designed to make Canadian oil more competitive in global markets.
To get back to that level and maybe even surpass it, we need someone in charge at the Federal Reserve who understands that creating conditions that increase the purchasing power of American workers' paychecks is a part of her mandate. From what she's said and done so far, it appears Janet Yellen is exactly that kind of Fed chair.
Netanyahu's speech may be evidence of hubris run amok on his part, but it is also a vivid illustration of the pervasive and destructive rise of partisanship in American politics over the last few decades.
Like the swallows returning noisily to Capistrano each spring, Congress has returned to D.C. following another midterm election, this time with the Republicans firmly in charge and already imposing their will on the legislative agenda.
After consulting with my colleagues, my staff, my family, and my conscience, I will regretfully not be attending the address by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the House Chamber on Tuesday.
Republicans in Congress have been saying for five years now that their top priority is to "repeal and replace" Obamacare. The problem, however, is that they are now scrambling to come up with something (anything!) that would help convince John Roberts to vote against the ACA.
Jon McNaughton, a conservative artist with a penchant for creating politically charged paintings, has just released his most controversial painting yet.

I would like to make a distinction between two terms -- terms that are often used interchangeably, but in actuality, while connected in some ways, stand as unique and separate from one another. The terms are "patriot" and "nationalist."
Opinion can change, particularly as an event draws closer, so looking at polls of Israeli opinion in January and February may be misleading. That said, available polls show that while almost half of Israeli's oppose Netanyahu's address to Congress, the vast majority also say that it will not impact their decision at the voting box.
As a key first step to shining a light on dark money -- election-related funds whose source remains secret -- the president should issue an executive order requiring government contractors to disclose their election-related spending.
We cannot raise awareness about the heroines and heroes of history, and then turn around and be cowards 50 years later. This Congress must deal with overt moves among states to obstruct people's right to vote, and they must restore federal protections of voting rights.
