Announcing An Index to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Online Deeds
My latest endeavor—An Index to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Online Deeds, Book A-D, 1729-1760— has gone live at Amazon as a Kindle book.
My latest endeavor—An Index to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Online Deeds, Book A-D, 1729-1760— has gone live at Amazon as a Kindle book.
Randy Seaver at Geneamusings posts a genealogy fun challenge every Saturday. Today is ahnentafel roulette. My chosen ancestor is my 2x great grandfather Karl "Charles" Phillipp Greulich of East Greenville, Pennsylvania.
I've been working on an index of the online Lancaster County deed books for a while now. And it's taken significantly longer than I'd expected. Compiling the index didn't take long. Formatting it, however, has taken ages.
The next installment of the Along the Pequea series features Henry Line's 218-acre tract on the Pequea in Conestoga and Martic townships.
In my last post, I reported that based on deed research Michael Frantz of Londonderry and Lower Paxton townships was the son of Hans and Catharina Frantz of Manor Township. When Michael died two men—Jacob Frantz of Manor and Christian Frantz of Manheim—were the administrators of his estate and guardians of his underage children. Were they Michael's brothers?
According to her death certificate, Lydia (Eshbach) Waage's parents were Henry Eshbach and Lydia Bobb.1 Henry was born 23 April 1807 in Hereford Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania and died 18 August 1872,2 quite likely in Selinsgrove, Snyder County, Pennsylvania where he had been a bartender 2 years previously.3 He was buried at Pennsburg Reformed Church […]
I wrote about Michael Frantz of Lower Paxton Township in an earlier post, regarding his estate in 1797. Based on that research, I posited that Michael possibly had two brothers—Jacob Frantz of Manor Township and Christian Frantz of Manheim Township. So, I set out to learn more about Michael, Jacob and Christian to see if I could prove a family connection.
This week's 52 ancestors post is about my 3x great grandfather, Jacob Walker (1833-1915) of Centre County, Pennsylvania.
I've recently been following the Middletown PA Dauphin Co History Page on Facebook. Lots of good, historic photos of Middletown and it's environs. Middletown Borough sits at the junction of Swatara Creek and the Susquehanna River, south and east of Harrisburg International Airport. It was founded in 1755 and incorporated in 1828.
I came across a newspaper article entitled "Hocker Family Meets in Reunion" from the Harrisburg Patriot about the first annual Hocker family reunion that was held 7 September 1911 in Reservoir Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This article mentions a number of Hocker family members—most of whom I immediately recognized. But there were several names that I didn't know. I decided to do a little research to find out who they were.

Test the tech: Head turner
The first thing one realizes when taking the wheel of the Pontiac Solstice GXP is how much of an attention-magnet it is. In fact, driving through downtown San Francisco with the top down, we were getting so many rubbernecking looks that we began to nod in George Cloonian nonchalance as we cruised by the star-struck pedestrians. In order to establish whether it was the Solstice GXP or our own dashing good looks that was drawing the attention of the madding crowd, we devised a test to demonstrate the car's pulling power sans Car Tech editors. We resolved to park the car with its top down on a relatively busy street in a residential district of San Francisco.
We took up a position with a mochaccino and a notebook at a table outside a nearby Starbucks and recorded the amount of attention that the car attracted over a 30-minute period. For the purposes of this highly scientific experiment, we divided the pedestrian populace into three groups: people who stopped in their tracks to examine the car; people who turned their heads to look at the car; and people who disregarded the car altogether. The results are tabulated below.
|Ignored car
|Turned head
As is evident from the chart, men from our random sample were far more interested in the parked Solstice GXP than women, with 6 of them stopping to inspect the vehicle at close range and no fewer than 29 turning their heads for an eyeful of the red rocket compared with just 9 women. (The only woman to stop was holding hands with a man who had stopped, so in a sense, she had no choice.) As for your correspondent, he garnered nothing more than a passing glance from a couple of the pedestrians, leading us to conclude that it was indeed the Solstice--and not our chiseled features--that were responsible for all the attention.
In the cabin
While the Solstice GXP may be a stunner from the outside, the car's interior is nothing special to look at. The main tech feature of the cabin is a standard-issue GM stereo head unit, which is far more sophisticated than it looks. Behind the drab facade, the Solstice's upgraded 6-disc, in-dash CD player is surprisingly capable, with the ability to play MP3 and WMA discs and a generic auxiliary input jack for playback of iPods and other portable music players. Our car was also upgraded to include with XM satellite radio.
The most impressive thing about the stereo in the Solstice GXP is its extremely user-friendly interface, which, despite its single-line dot-matrix display, must rank among the most intuitive OEM systems we have ever seen. When playing compressed digital audio discs such as MP3s, the stereo displays full ID3 tag information for folder, song name, album name, and artist; these can be cycled through using the very helpful i button to the top left of the display.
Navigating between folders is extremely straightforward, thanks to two dedicated buttons for skipping backward and forward; skipping tracks is equally simple using the stereo's rotary dial. For XM satellite radio, the situation is similar; the display shows information for the current channel, song, artist, and category, with the i button providing a means of switching between the various tags. We also like the way that the right-hand dial gives drivers a quick means of searching through XM channels and the way that users can customize the XM categories available by removing those music types that they don't listen to. On the downside, the stereo's display gets washed out in direct sunlight--a particular annoyance in a car with no roof.
As well as having the upgraded in-dash stereo, our tester came with the optional $395 upgraded audio system, which gave us the benefit of six "high-performance" speakers plus a dedicated subwoofer located behind the passenger seat. With so many speakers in such a small cabin, it is not surprising that the audio system delivers an immersive sound. The acoustics in the Solstice GXP are geared more toward loud, bass-heavy output than to high-end refinement. The reason for this is evident when driving on the freeway with the top down, as the Solstice suffers from large amounts of wind- and road noise in the cabin at higher speeds.
The only other major tech option on the Solstice GXP is GM's OnStar telematics service, indicated by a row of buttons along the bottom of the rear-view mirror. For $695, the car comes with OnStar's Safe and Sound package, with the option of adding turn-by-turn directions.

Welcome to the Victoria Falls Hotel...
Victoria Falls Hotel: Our full report
The elegant Victoria Falls Hotel is located within walking distance of the Victoria Falls, with views over the famous Victoria Falls Bridge spanning the Batoka Gorge. The hotel, originally built in 1904 to house engineers and associates working on the construction of the railway, is decorated in a style reminiscent of Edwardian times, and is only a five-minute walk from Victoria Falls town.
The hotel is set in lush, well-tended gardens, with its own private path to the Victoria Falls. In the entrance courtyard, along with a lily pond and slender palm trees, is the carriage of an old tram that used to carry visitors from the hotel to the Falls. In another courtyard, in the Stable Wing, they are trialing a scheme to grow vegetables and herbs for use in the hotel kitchen, using compost made from kitchen waste. Scented shrubs make this a very pretty and peaceful area.
The Victoria Falls Hotel has 161 rooms and suites. Recent investment, refurbishment and development has gone a fair way to addressing criticism that while the public areas of the hotel have classic, old-world luxury and elegance in abundance, the bedrooms were dated and somewhat trapped in a time warp, which isn't to everyone's taste. Now the accommodation options incorporate a range of styles and standards, with plans for further improvements in the coming years.
- Standard Rooms, located in the Central Wing, have views onto the gardens and courtyards. These rooms are well decorated in an Edwardian style, but as they are the original rooms from over a century ago, they are quite small by modern hotel standards. Facilities include air conditioning, an electronic safe, a telephone and a tea/coffee station, and their bathrooms have a bath with a shower incorporated.
- Deluxe Rooms, also found in the Central Wing, either have views onto the gardens and courtyards or towards the gorge and famous old bridge. Similar in amenities and size to the Standard Rooms, they have a slightly larger bathroom with separate bath and shower.
- Deluxe Rooms are set in the Stable Wing, with views either onto the stable courtyard or towards the gorge and bridge. This wing is the newest addition to the Victoria Falls Hotel and the rooms here are more modern and nearly twice the size of the older Deluxe Central Wing rooms.
- Four Honeymoon Suites, two in the older section of the hotel and two in the newer wing, have king-size beds and four poster king-size beds respectively. Each has its own lounge area, and includes a minibar, personal safe and air conditioning. Suites in the new wing are slightly larger, with a balcony overlooking the gardens; a separate bath and shower; and his and hers washbasins. The older suites have a bath/shower combo and no balcony, but do have a view looking down towards the Falls and the bridge.
- Junior Suites and Executive Suites are both very large, with reception rooms separate from the bedroom and bathroom. These are traditional in décor and looked a little dated the last time we visited in June 2014.
Filled with old furniture and antiques, the beautifully decorated Bulawayo Room is a traditional lounge area where guests can enjoy champagne and after-dinner port.
The hotel's restaurants provide an assortment of dining experiences. Of these, the Livingstone Room is a classic Edwardian dining room which is open nightly for dinner and dancing to a live band. It has an à la carte menu with a varied (international and local) wine list, and a formal style of service which probably hasn't changed much over the last 100 years. Please note that there is a dress code, and gentlemen should wear a tie.
Breakfast and buffet dinners are served in the much more relaxed Jungle Junction, which is a short walk through the hotel gardens. Tables inside and out have lovely views out towards Victoria Falls Bridge and the spray of the Falls. For light meals and cocktails, there's Stanley's Terrace and Stanley's Bar, which also hosts high tea every afternoon. High tea at the Victoria Falls Hotel is an institution, attracting guests and non-residents alike to relax and admire the famous old bridge while enjoying a pot of tea and a neatly presented three-storey tower of scones, sandwiches and cakes.
As well as relaxing on the terrace you can pamper yourself in the spa, which offers manicures, facials and a range of body treatments. It is also possible to have a massage beside the Edwardian-style swimming pool, where deckchairs are an inviting place to relax, perhaps with something from the poolside bar and lunchtime barbecue.
The hotel even offers a chapel, which is available for weddings, an activities desk, two all-weather tennis courts (although these weren't in great shape on our last visit) and a curio shop.
The activity centre is particularly useful for organising activities in the area, from horseriding, parasailing, golf and canoeing to the more adventurous white-water rafting, abseiling, bungee jumping and gorge swinging. Flights over the Victoria Falls by microlight and helicopter are very popular too.
Our viewThe Victoria Falls Hotel is a very relaxed and civilised place to stay for two or three nights at the start or end of a safari, with the added bonus of its own entrance to the Falls. There is a variety of accommodation to suit both traditional and more modern tastes, and for a hotel of its size it has a very friendly atmosphere with plenty of things going on.
Location: Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Ideal length of stay: We'd recommend a stay of about 2-3 nights at the Victoria Falls Hotel.
Directions: Many guests will arrive into Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) or Livingstone (Zambia) by air and then transfer to the hotel by road. Others arrive by road from one of the other tourist destinations in the west of Zimbabwe, such as Hwange or Matobo Hills National Parks.
Accessible by: Fly-and-Transfer

I've got a situation where two ticket styles are available, I need to limit the collective number of tickets available.
Is this possible?
I've got a situation where two ticket styles are available, I need to limit the collective number of tickets available.
Is this possible?
Hi Nick,
At this time, it's not possible to combine quantities for limiting.
One way around this might be to use a hidden field that calculates the total of the given quantities you'd like to limit. Then you could set up a limit for the hidden field. This could get a bit out of sorts with validation and notifications, but it would allow for a limit to be in place.
I think I understand the concept, but executing it is another story.
I would really appreciate if you could give a quick rundown of the steps to accomplish this workaround.
Any chance of a modification? $$
I think (I hope) this is exactly what I'm looking for - but the field-id drop down is empty.
I have 3 types of tickets for a concert - general admission, floor seating and pit seating. Each type has a limit. I created a Quantity Limit for my form, but have no dropdowns on field. Not sure this plugin will work for multiple items, and I am hoping it is, but not sure why the field isn't dropping down.
I'm at WordPress 3.6.1 and Gravity forms 1.7.9.
I would like to implement a similar request as Nick's.
B. Hays, regarding your suggestion, you mention using a hidden field; however, a limit cannot be set on it. How can this be achieved?
Any help or suggestions on implementing this feature would be great.
Thanks for the useful plugin.
The field would have to be hidden manually via CSS instead of Gravity Forms.
Upon further review, this wouldn't be a very good solution as you can't accurately show the remaining number of tickets if the field is hidden.
One quick solution that I can think of is to keep the quantities separate for each field and adjust as needed. I know this is more labor intensive, but it's about all the plugin can do at this point.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Hi Otto,
First of all, thank you for the awesome plugin. I want to let you know that I really appreciate your efforts.
My wordpress site is at http://www.microsoftnow.com and I am seeing a plain text 'connect with facebook' instead of a button.
I went thru other posts on the forum, and ensured the following:
1. I am using WP 3.4 and my theme now uses comment_form() function in comments.php
2. I have the wp_head() in header.php and wp_footer() in footer.php
I viewed the source of your blog in IE and compared it with mine and I see same header, same footer, still no joy :(
I'm wondering if you can take a look at my page and help me understand what's going wrong.
Thanks a lot!

Kitchen Sinks
Bathroom Sinks
Which is one of the most used yet equally ignored areas of any home or restaurant? It would be the wash area, that is, where the sink is placed. A beautiful bathroom or Kitchen Sink can add life to these rooms. Whether it is your house or the busy cooking space of a take-out place, you need a sink that is not only functional, but also one that looks great.
These tips should help you invest in the perfect sink:
Size and Placement
The first step is to decide the placement area and, accordingly, fix on the size of the sink. Also, look for a sink that will suit your usage, that is, one that is neither too deep nor too shallow. For example a sink for doing the dishes at a restaurant needs to be big and deep, while a Bathroom Sink is usually small, shallow and stylish.
Design and Style
After you are done deciding on the functional factor, look for the latest trends and designs in the market. You may pick a kitchen or Bar Sink that has a rustic feel to it or get glass bowl-like sinks for your restrooms. With an array of colors you can purchase one that matches the walls and the faucets.
Quality and Brand
Sinks are used at almost all times of the day. Plus, they are usually exposed to dishwashing detergent or hand soaps. Hence, it becomes vital to get a good quality sink that is not only sturdy but also corrosion-free.
At Main Faucet, we are known for our quality products. We offer sinks from major players in the market like Belle Foret, Houzer, Elkay, Kraus, Vigo, etc. Hence, your choice will be only amongst the best of brands.
If you need further assistance, we would be happy to help you. Simply visit our website and take a look at the finest products in the market.

3.4 A 1.5 V battery is to be used to power a 5 V, 1 A load. It has been decided to use a buck-boost
converter in this application. A suitable transistor is found with an on-resistance of 35 m?, and a
Schottky diode is found with a forward drop of 0.5 V. The on-resistance of the Schottky diode
may be ignored. The power stage schematic is shown in Fig. 3.31.
(a) Derive an equivalent circuit that models the dc properties of this converter. Include the
transistor and diode conduction losses, as well as the inductor copper loss, but ignore all other
sources of loss. Your model should correctly describe the converter dc input port.
(b) It is desired that the converter operate with at least 70% efficiency under nominal conditions
(i.e., when the input voltage is 1.5 V and the output is 5 V at 1 A). How large can the inductor
winding resistance be? At what duty cycle will the converter then operate? Note: there is an
easy way and a not-so-easy way to analytically solve this part.
(c) For your design of part (b), compute the power loss in each element.
(d) Plot the converter output voltage and efficiency over the range 0 ? D ? 1, using the value of
inductor winding resistance which you selected in part (b).
(e) Discuss your plot of part (d). Does it behave as you expect? Explain.
For Problems 3.5 and 3.6, a transistor having an on-resistance of 0.5 ?, is used. To simplify the
problems, you may neglect all losses other than the transistor conduction loss. You may also
neglect the dependence of MOSFET on-resistance on rated blocking voltage. These
simplifying assumptions reduce the differences between converters, but do not change the
conclusions regarding which converter performs best in the given situations.

I thought this month we would try something a little different. In my effort to rush though a shoot w/ DS, I find myself doing the same old thing ALL the time. To force myself (and anyone else who wants to play) to look at things in a different manner, I thought we would try this for the August assignment ...
1 subject, 3 looks
The idea is to take a photo of the same subject at three completely different angles.
You can change the DOF(aperture), your lens, your focal length, or any other settings you like but the subject has to be the same and the angle must be different in all three photos.
What do you say? Want to give it a try?
Hope you have fun and that it results in a new perspective for us all!

Hi all,
I am running wordpress in a VPS server from slicehost. Recently I noticed that while saving the theme files it is taking a long time(some times nothing will happen) and the CPU usage on the VPS is very high. What can be the reason? The same thing happened while publishing a post. but it is automatically fixed now.
Thank you.

AbstractThe public-oriented goals of the open government movement promise increased transparency and accountability of governments, enhanced citizen engagement and participation, improved service delivery, economic development and the stimulation of innovation. In part, these goals are to be achieved by making more and more government information public in reusable formats and under open licences. This paper identifies three broad privacy challenges raised by open government. The first is how to balance privacy with transparency and accountability in the context of "public" personal information. The second challenge flows from the disruption of traditional approaches to privacy based on a collapse of the distinctions between public and private sector actors. The third challenge is that of the potential for open government data—even if anonymized—to contribute to the big data environment in which citizens and their activities are increasingly monitored and profiled.

Education Reform:
School-Based Management Results in Changes in Instruction and Budgeting
HEHS-94-135: Published: Aug 23, 1994. Publicly Released: Aug 23, 1994.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7014
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the impact of school-based management (SBM) initiatives on education reform, focusing on: (1) how SBM implementation would affect school administrators' and teachers' ability to change schools' instructional programs and budgets; (2) the key similarities and differences in districts' approaches to SBM; and (3) how SBM would affect Chapter 1 programs.
GAO found that: (1) although SBM can increase school administrators' and teachers' control over schools and allow them to change instructional programs and tailor budgets to better meet the needs of children, the impact of SBM on student performance is unknown; (2) some schools have difficulty focusing on improving instructional programs and allocating resources because SBM approaches vary; (3) school budgets did not realize net savings as a result of the various SBM adjustments; (4) some school districts have implemented SBM as part of a broader education reform strategy and each district has emphasized providing school services; (5) the key differences in districts' approaches to SBM implementation focused on districts' fund allocation and budget development; (6) SBM could help districts increase control over the Chapter 1 program; and (7) school districts could improve SBM integration if federal legislation is enacted that would decentralize the Chapter 1 program.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: P.L. 103-382, Section III 5(c)(1)(c), directs incorporation of Chapter 1 plan into existing school planning.
Matter: If Congress includes a new Chapter 1 planning requirement in legislation to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the legislation should specify that plans developed by schools for Chapter 1 should serve district, state, and federal planning requirements so that schools can develop a single, integrated plan rather than multiple plans.

text: Amazon.com~A sad, melancholy ache pervades Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee's haunting, moving film that, like his other movies, explores societal constraints and the passions that lurk underneath. This time, however, instead of taking on ancient China, 19th-century England, or '70s suburbia, Lee uses the tableau of the American West in the early '60s to show how two lovers are bound by their expected roles, how they rebel against them, and the repercussions for each of doing so--but the romance here is between two men. Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) are two itinerant ranchers looking for work in Wyoming when they meet and embark on a summer sheepherding job in the shadow of titular Brokeback Mountain. The taciturn Ennis, uncommunicative in the extreme, finds himself opening up around the gregarious Jack, and the two form a bond that surprisingly catches fire one cold night out in the wilderness. Separating at the end of the summer, each goes on to marry and have children, but a reunion years later proves that, if anything, their passion for each other has grown significantly. And while Jack harbors dreams of a life together, the tight-lipped Ennis is unable to bring himself to even consider something so revolutionary. |

This week on The Sunday Buzz with guest host Rex Nelson 9/4/11
Bill was in Fayetteville last night for the Razorbacks 51 -7 win against Missouri State. Bill didn't make it back to Little Rock in time for the show, so filling in this week was Rex Nelson. Joining Rex for the entire show was Doug White.
Doug is the vice president of systems services for The Electric Cooperative of Arkansas. Rex and Doug discuss some of Arkansas's best dining destinations. Rex also talks about visiting the Pickens Plantation and had Larry Burchfield call in. Larry has a website called "The Delta Revisited" you can check by clicking here.
For the last segment of the hour, Rex gets back to talking about food and lists off his top places he has eaten at this summer.
During the top of the second hour, Kevin Crass called in. Kevin is with War Memorial stadium and wants people to know that there are still tickets available for next weeks game against New Mexico.
There's an article in the Democrat-Gazette today about the restoration of Johnny Cash's childhood home. Rex and Doug discuss the progress that is being made and why Arkansans need to appreciate what we have here. Then for the remander of the hour we open the phone lines up to the callers to hear what they thought about the Razorbacks performance.
For the last hour of the show, Brett "Stats" Norsworthy from Am 560 in Memphis joins the show on the phone along with a brief apperance by the actual Bill Vickery.
Stats hung around for the rest of the show and discussed in length college football continue through the end of the show.
Bill is expected to make his return next week and remember you can listen to The Sunday Buzz every Sunday from 9 am to Noon on 1037 the buzz!

On December 24 and December 27, 2012 I refused shipment of these products at the US Post Office and they were returned to the company. On January 18, charges for these products were on my Visa bill, even though I had returned them.
When I called the customer service numbers on the bottles though both numbers had been changed, new numbers were provided. I talked to customer service reps and a manager.
I was told that they couldn't refund my money as I had not returned the products in accordance with "company policy." I then asked for a physical address of the company and was told "I can't give you that information. Obviously, I've been scammed.

While saying farewell the night before he died, Jesus told those with him that he "had other sheep that are not of this fold" and that those with him at that moment were not his only followers. Importantly, he also said he longed for unity with those others just as deeply as he longed for unity with those in the room with him.

Imagine you are stranded alone in a desert with nothing but sand stretching for hundreds of miles. Would you choose to trust God or would fear get the upper hand?
The Catholic Organization for Life and Family has asked me to speak to a seminar it is sponsoring in Ottawa next month. The topic I am to address is "I am more than my handicap." That is true.
In his masterpiece Brideshead Revisited, Evelyn Waugh implicitly lays out a program of evangelization that has particular relevance to our time.
A number of years ago my wife and I and our youngest daughter went to New York City and visited the Empire State Building. While up on the crowded observation deck with cameras in tow, I noticed a woman who looked very familiar, there with her own young children.
Do I Believe in Jesus Christ the only Son of God?
Even when the one favoured to be elected the new pope prior to the conclave actually is elected, it is still a surprise. That's how it was when Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was chosen almost eight years ago. As often as not, however, the choice is a bolt out of the blue – Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli in 1958, Albino Luciani and Karol Wojtyla in 1978.
Some years ago, I was at a religious conference where one of the speakers, widely known and respected for her work among the poor, made this comment: "I'm not a theologian, so I don't know how this plays out theologically; but here's the base from which I'm operating: I work with the poor. Partly I do this out of my humanity, out of natural compassion; but ultimately my motivation is Christ.
In my job as a counselor there have been many times over the years when I have had a conversation with a client that goes something like this:
One key area of conversation has been the difficult history and legacy of the government-funded, Church-run Indian residential schools. It is estimated that over a period of 130 years, more than 150,000 First Nations, Metis and Inuit children attended approximately 130 residential schools. The majority of these schools were run by Catholic religious orders or dioceses.

With this plugin you can make beatiful slideshows with many options.
However a lightbox functionality is actually not implementet. The Author says it will come with version 2.3. With a small workaround it is possible to have a lightbox now.
The plugin is uses the media libary of wordpress.
I really like it. I have testet several plugins and this one fits best to my needs.
And the best is, it's free. There is no Pro version. So you can test it and then donate a small fee.
I'm looking forward to the next vesion!

Shelley Shannon
Rachelle Ranae "Shelley" Shannon (born March 31, 1956)[1] is an anti-abortionist[2] from Grants Pass, Oregon.[3] She shot George Tiller in both arms outside his abortion clinic in Wichita on August 19, 1993.[4][5][6] She later pleaded guilty to setting fires at several abortion clinics on the West Coast, and is serving her sentence at FCI Waseca in Minnesota. Her projected release date is November 7, 2018.[7]
Attempted murder of Dr. George Tiller[edit]
On August 19, 1993, Shelley Shannon shot Dr. George Tiller in both arms, outside his Wichita, Kansas clinic.[4][5][6]
At the time she shot Tiller, Shannon had been a part of the anti-abortion movement for at least five years. She had written in support of Michael Griffin, the murderer of David Gunn, calling Griffin "the awesomest, greatest hero of our time." Tiller's Wichita clinic was the site of frequent demonstrations and incidents of direct action by those opposed to abortion and of counter-demonstrations by abortion rights activists. Under cover of such a fracas, Shannon shot Tiller with a semiautomatic pistol.[8]
Tiller was later assassinated on May 31, 2009, by Scott Roeder.
Trial and imprisonment[edit]
At her trial in state court, Shannon testified that there was nothing immoral about trying to kill Tiller.[8] The jurors needed only an hour to convict her of attempted murder.[9] She was sentenced to 11 years in prison.[8]
While incarcerated in Lansing, Kansas, Shannon signed the Army of God's statement in support of the actions of Paul Jennings Hill.[10]
On June 4, 1995, she pleaded guilty to setting fires at several abortion clinics in Oregon, California and Nevada. She had been indicted by federal grand juries on 30 counts in connection with fires and butyric acid attacks at nine clinics. Charges included arson, interference with commerce by force and interstate travel in aid of racketeering.[11][12] On September 9, 1995, U.S. Federal District Court Judge James A. Redden sentenced Shannon to 20 years in prison—a substantial upward departure from sentencing guidelines. In sentencing her, Redden called her a terrorist. He sided with prosecutors who contended that Shannon was a threat even from behind bars. The federal sentence was set to begin only after the completion of Shannon's 11-year state incarceration for shooting Tiller.[13]
Her daughter, Angela Shannon (born c. 1974),[14] was prosecuted for sending a death threat in 1993 to George Woodward, a Milwaukee doctor who performed abortions. (The letter arrived on March 3, 1993 — a week before the murder of David Gunn.) The elder Shannon attempted to take the blame for the death threat, but in view of Angela's fingerprints having been found on the letter, Angela was convicted and sentenced to 46 months' incarceration in 1997.[15]
In 1998, Shelley Shannon filed a lawsuit contending that the sewerage system in the Kansas prison was inadequate, and that sewage backups created unhealthful conditions for the inmates. Her lawsuit was dismissed by Federal District Court Judge Kathryn Vratil in Kansas City, Kansas. The dismissal was upheld by a 2-1 vote of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, stating there wasn't sufficient proof the warden knew about the sewer problems. Before Shannon's attorney could refile, the sewer system and other problems were corrected.[16]

Product Description
Fifteen years ago in The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, historian Mark Noll warned that evangelical Christians had abandoned the intellectual aspects of their faith. Christians were neither prepared nor inclined to enter the intellectual debate, and had become marginalized. Today Trueman argues, "Religious beliefs are more scandalous than they have been for many years"-but for different reasons than Noll foresaw. In fact, the real problem now is exactly the opposite of what Noll diagnosed/evangelicals don't lack a mind, but rather an agreed upon evangel. Although known as gospel people, evangelicals no longer share any consensus on the gospel's meaning.
Provocative and persuasive, Trueman's indictment of evangelicalism also suggests a better way forward for those theologically conservative Protestants once and formerly known as evangelicals.

Publisher's Description
What is an evangelical . . . and has he lost his mind? Carl Trueman wrestles with those two provocative questions and concludes that modern evangelicals emphasize experience and activism at the expense of theology. Their minds go fuzzy as they downplay doctrine. The result is "a world in which everyone from Joel Osteen to Brian McLaren to John MacArthur may be called an evangelical."
Fifteen years ago in The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, historian Mark Noll warned that evangelical Christians had abandoned the intellectual aspects of their faith. Christians were neither prepared nor inclined to enter into intellectual debates, and had become culturally marginalized. Trueman argues that today "religious beliefs are more scandalous than they have been for many years"but for different reasons than Noll foresaw. In fact, the real problem now is exactly the opposite of what Noll diagnosed: evangelicals dont lack a mind, but rather an agreed upon evangel. Although known as gospel people, evangelicals no longer share any consensus on the gospels meaning.
Provocative and persuasive, Truemans indictment of evangelicalism also suggests a better way forward for those theologically conservative Protestants famously known as evangelicals.

bookwomanjoanOak Harbor, WAAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5this little book explains a great dealNovember 25, 2012bookwomanjoanOak Harbor, WAAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for The Real Scandal of the Evangelical Mind.Seventeen years ago Mark Noll came out with his The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind. Noll criticized the lack of cultural and theological engagement among evangelicals. There was no "mind."
Now, Trueman says, the real scandal is that there is no "evangelical." Evangelicalism doesn't exist. There is no consensus about evangelicalism's identity. There is no clear doctrinal definition within the greater Christian community. Its identity cannot be determined by shared doctrine or experience.
Trueman reports that Christian institutions now deemphasize their doctrinal distinctives to build their size and influence and be more acceptable to an inclusive culture. Speakers and authors call themselves evangelicals even though they equivocate on homosexuality or the authority of Scripture. "If evangelicalism has no boundaries, then no boundaries have been transgressed..."
Trueman's analysis to the change of viewpoint on the homosexual issue is alone worth the price of the book. "With evangelicalism no longer defined by doctrinal commitments, there can and will be no evangelical consensus on homosexuality." He predicts that biblical authority will continue to be eroded, as will the historical Adam.
I highly recommend this book for anyone desiring to understand the current state of Christianity and its possible future. This little book explains a great deal.
annahildeySavannah, GAAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Great - cover to cover read!December 6, 2011annahildeySavannah, GAAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This is a gracious book. Unlike many other books dealing with the same subject matter - this book is not just a reference point but easily read cover to cover and yet it packs quite a punch. This was my first book by this author - and I am now anxious to read everything he has written. There are several great thinkers/authorities who write, blog, or otherwise comment on current trends within the evangelical world - and I consider Carl Trueman one of them; however I think he holds a secret weapon in addition to his vast knowledge and insight, namely - he can write. If you are already reading scholarly works - I believe it best to recommend this book as a great general read - well grounded book. If, like me, you are not reading any scholarly works - maybe even a bit unfamiliar with various thinking and trends on a higher level - this is the book for you. You can't go wrong with this book.

They had my company name worded wrong & under the wrong heading. which by the way made a less than favorable impression on me regarding their services.
I responded to them by making note to their mistakes . get my name & who I am right first ! then I "may" inquire more into their services .
Instead , I got a bill with the same mistakes listed .
After being bombarded With repeat billings , I (with great effort) finally found them online through "Google" .
I looked my-self up to see if there was even such a listing existing . They did in fact have a listing for me with the still incorrect name of my company , under the wrong heading !
Enough of these slackers !
I do not even run yellow pages ads with my local phone directories . I am in a tight nit area where everyone knows everyone. My company is a local based business that only services a very small area.
If I was to list my company in the yellow pages , it would be in the "local" yellow pages . not some "only if you know where to find me " online Phantom listings. In regards to to "yellow pages united" . They buy your info from your phone company , list you in their database & just start billing you . Boy What a Scam !!!! .

Led by Greg Kneser, Vice President of Student Life
June 12–18, 2016
$950 per person (see inclusions below)
We are blessed to have the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in our backyard (well, if not our backyard, then just beyond the neighbors). It lies entirely within Superior National Forest and is the most visited wilderness area in the United States, for good reason. The boundless beauty and tranquility are uplifting and refreshing.
Join us on an Ole adventure in the BWCA. We'll start with a visit to the Chik-Wauk Museum and Nature Center at Seagull Lake, which tells the story of the Gunflint Trail, before having a group dinner at Gunflint Lodge and overnighting at Hungry Jack Outfitters in Grand Marais for our entry into the wilderness area. We will also be fully equipped by Hungry Jack Outfitters, an Ole-owned enterprise.
For 5 days, we'll paddle from lake to river to lake again, and disembark as necessary to use the portage trails between bodies of water. This vast area has changed little in the 10,000 years since the glaciers receded. In this serene setting we are likely to spy loons, moose, bald eagles, deer, otters and more, and we will, of course, hang our food high to avoid sharing space with bears. As Marshall McLuhan said, "There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew." This program is an adventure of the body, as well as the mind and spirit. You must be physically fit enough to carry gear on the portages, including large, but manageable backpacks and, with your paddling partner, the canoe. Also, everyone in the group will share chores like cooking and camp maintenance.
After we exit the BWCA we will stay overnight at Hungry Jack, and will spend our last day taking in the adventure of the North Shore, including breakfast at Nanibijou Lodge, and a visit to the North House Folk School. The Folk School was a key partner with St. Olaf volunteers in imagining, designing and constructing the Memorial Chime Tower and later, rebuilding the Flaten Art Barn on the St. Olaf campus. Our hope is that the trip will coincide with the Wooden Boat Show at North House, one of the main summer events of the Summer in Grand Marais. As we continue down the North Shore and back home, there will be time to visit some of the wonders of America's "North Coast" that the group will identify.
This unique Study Travel has no deliberate educational theme, but is an opportunity to gather with fellow Oles – official and honorary alike – and share time together in an area of natural beauty.
Program Leader
Greg Kneser is the Vice President for Student Life at St. Olaf. He has traveled extensively with students on domestic service trips,. including New Orleans, Nashville, Mississippi and Chicago. He has assisted with St. Olaf Interim courses in London and Nicaragua. Greg often describes himself as a "wanderer," and has worked with students to look beyond the obvious when traveling or serving abroad, connecting their experience of the day with their lives back on campus at St. Olaf. Greg led his first Study Travel program on the Danube in April 2015 and the first Ole Wilderness Adventure in the Boundary Waters in June 2015. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Greg has spent the last 25 years at St. Olaf, mostly beside his wife, Sandy Kimmes '89, and their teenage children, Amelia and Wylie.
What to Expect
Expect an adventure, as advertised! You will be active in the most positive way and immersed in nature's bounty every day.
This program requires that you be physically fit and able to paddle, walk, and carry belongings for many hours a day. All participants will be expected to pitch in with tasks such as setting up camp, making meals, and repacking your own and group equipment.
The weather in mid-June in northern Minnesota should be beautiful, but can be hard to predict. Average temperatures for this time of year are a high around 67º Fahrenheit, low around 48 F, and rainfall of 3.7 inches for the month.
