Any suggestions on how to get my wife intrested in shooting and carrying.
I will be attending my CPL class on saturday and could not convince her that it would be good for her also.
she loves to shoot skeet with me and she has shot pistols before so I don't understand what the issue is.
She has no problem with me carrying but I can't be with her and my kids all the time.
Im not sure how to go about peaking her intrest without it seeming like im pressuring her.
Or should I just let it be?

There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11? (Yuri Orlov [Nicolas Cage] Lord of War)
The old saying about not walking in someone else's mochasins applies. You can not possibly know the ten billion thoughts your wife's brain has processed in reaching her decision. Let it be.
I'm currently starting a womens shoot at my club in NJ in order to gain women's interest in the shooting sports. Perhaps shooting and talking to women with similar interests would help your wife's situation.
I'm hoping the same thing happens here and we gain more women's support on the gun issue in this state.
We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.-George Orwell
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
See if she's willing to just go to the class with you. The information they share in the class might be enough to motivate her. If she goes to the class and still decides that she doesn't want to carry, then at least she'll have made an informed decision.
"In America, freedom and justice have always come from the ballot box, the jury box, and when that fails, the cartridge box."
-- Steve Symms, US Senator from Idaho, 1990
My wife has her CCW, but pretty much refused to carry, just did not feel comfortable. We had a bit of a surprise this weekend as we were leaving an eating establishment, and she now has a change of mind. She walked out the door yesterday to church with her 642, and left the house today with it as well. I guess getting spooked helped her decide. Your mileage may vary..
I know, I know, you are smarter than me..just ask you..

Fellars as well as Gals may join AWSDA
Women and Guns (very good reading magazine on guns and gear for women / even men - including Firearm Instructors)
When you figure that one out, let me know.
As I have said before, my wife more or less tolerates my habit. She has no interest in firearms what so ever. I have asked her to go to the range with me in the past, but have only succeded in getting her to go once.
"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in ... And how many want out." British Prime Minister Tony Blair
These are all great suggestions.
I asked her to go to the class with me anyhow and she said she has no interest in carrying a gun.
she dont have a problem with ccw in general she said she just wouldnt feel comfortable with one.
so maybe the best thing to do would be to just let it be for now.
what do you think??
My husband had it pretty darned easy. He brought me home my Bersa as an engagement gift and said something to the effect of, "You can't carry this now, but eventually I would like you to get your CCW, especially for when I'm going to be out of town and you'll be on your own."
I said, "Okay."
To be honest I hadn't even thought of concealed carry because I'm from Wisconsin. It was never legal growing up, so I didn't even think about it.
After getting my permit I carried on and off for awhile, more when I was going to certain places or when my husband was gone.
My husband had an "incident" where he needed to draw his gun. I realized that if he had not had a gun I may have been visited by a chaplain that night instead of welcoming my husband home.
There have been days since where I haven't carried, but 99 times out of 100 that I leave my home my gun is going with me.
It's become a part of me. I feel as naked without my gun as I do without my wedding ring.
Pick up a few issues of a magazine that has real stories where concealed carry saved lives (I think the NRA magazine has such articles). Let her read the success stories herself.
However, make sure she's ready for the responsibility of carrying a weapon for defense. I always say, "A gun in the hands of someone who's unwilling to use it is worse than no gun at all."
When I put my gun on my hip for my very first night of concealed carry, my husband said, "You realize you are carrying a loaded gun, right?"
"Of course."
"And you are ready and willing to KILL another human being in order to defend yourself?"
"Yes, I am."
That was that. If she's not ready for that responsibility then let it go. No one should be placed in that kind of a situation who is not entirely prepared for it.
Women do have a tendency to be more gentle and non-violent, it's no surprise then that even women who are comfortable with guns don't want to carry them. They don't consider themselves equipped for that kind of responsibility, or simply, they just don't want it. That is completely okay.
If that's the case, look into self-defense classes and pepper spray, stun guns, or mace or something less lethal with which she can defend herself.

i think ladies night at the range would be a great idea i think some women feel intimidated if they where going to a range filled with that much testosterone and weapons if there were alot of other women there new to this or experianced they would feel much more comfy.

The evolution of learned and innate behavior: Contributions from genetics and neurobiology to a theory of behavioral evolution
In recent years, ethologists and psychologists have become increasingly interested in the evolution of the ability to learn and in the relationship between innate and learned behavior. However, recent discussions of behavioral evolution have not adequately incorporated contemporary knowledge of nervous system development and structure. Most discussions are based on the following assumptions: (1) That innate behaviors are programmed by specific genes; (2) that learning requires a larger, more flexible nervous system than does innate behavior; and (3) that the ability to learn is phylogenetically more recent than innate behavior. This paper reviews information about nervous system development and the neurobiology of plasticity and learning that questions the validity of these assumptions. It is hypothesized that behavioral flexibility is phylogenetically primitive and that learned behavioral adaptations may commonly precede innate forms of the same behaviors. The role of genetic assimilation in behavioral evolution is discussed.

My first trip to the range I did not take hearing protection. My ears rang for 3 weeks. I have no idea how loud it would be in the car. If you are using fmj, can you shoot through the door. or are you better off to roll down the window and then shoot?
I doubt you'll see or hear too many instances of that kind of stuff in the news.. Really sounds like a bunch of dumber than dirt losers that thought they could get away with such a stupid scheme. I mean really, in my part of town and with one of the highest rates for congestion on the highway. Some clowns trying to get away with that crap wouldn't last too long before some bad tempered driver on the cusp of road rage ran the sucker down, or pulled out a pistol and put um into a heap right there on the highway.
If you do use your handgun in such a situation, better be damn sure of what's behind the perp...
Back in the 1970s when I was stationed at Travis we had a thief robbing people in the drive through at the bank and making his escape on a bicycle. This was the one and only instance where ammo registration caught a thief, a clerk at K-Mart recognized him from the surveillance picture as someone who had recently purchased .22 ammo and turned his info over to the PD.

Well if a bad guy walks up to my drivers door, that places his bodies lower mid section at the right height, and attempts to rob/carjack me he will have just given up the possibility of ever having children in the future. Yes, if the window is up and the bad guy breaks it, I'll shoot thru the door.

What you need in this situation is a double barrel shotgun. Just step out of your car and fire two blasts into the air.
I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

I am also a biased XD9 owner. However, I never met a handgun I didn't like....so I tend to vote for whatever handgun I own at the time.
I'm a biased XD9 owner too, but don't now about the M&Ps or Glocks yet. Hopefully will try some glocks soon to see how those feel to me as well. each time i go practicing with my XD i can do very well with it.
I am also a biased XD9 owner. However, I never met a handgun I didn't like....so I tend to vote for whatever handgun I own at the time.
I tried the XD but I could get along with the M&P 40 much better.
I am a lefty and the M&P is very left hand friendly. I bought a M&P40 from Budsgunshop.com last Novemer for a great Price.
I like my XD a lot. I've admittedly never shot an M&P, but I don't like how they fit my hand. And I have shot and even own Glocks, but if I had to choose right here and right now, I'd pick the XD over my Glock.
I voted for the Glock, but none are guns that I really have the slightest interest in buying.
XD All the way. The grip angle is much better than glock. I like being able feel if the gun has one in the pipe and if the gun is cocked or not. XD is much safer than any gun on the market.
The S & W, MP's have only been available a little over a year now (Dec. 2005). The 40 caliber was out 1st, then the 9mm came out some time last summer with the 357sig trailing just behind it. Then just a few months ago S & W came out with the compact in 9mm with the 40 caliber compact just now hitting the market. The full sized 45 caliber is due out next month and the compact sometime thereafter.
The other choices have been out considerably longer, the Glock being the 1st high production polymer in the late eighties. Then the XD's hit the market (under the XD name) sometime in the early nineties.
Sorry I didn't take time to research exact dates. Most of you probably know more about the actual origin dates of your favorite gun. My point is, the MP's have only been available a fraction of the time of the others but are gaining a strong fan base very quickly.
I have two MP's, a fullsized 40 caliber and a 9mm compact and will be buying the 45 caliber asap. They are all good guns but I love my MP's!!!!
Can the M&P and Walther compacts(Walther needs mention) use the larger magazine of their larger counter parts. If the XD; Walther: M&P; Glock compacts are all able to use their large counter parts magazine, it'll be down to price as a decision for a compact 9mm for me.(or my sister)
Which one do y'all think.
given only 3 choices I voted Glock but I don't really like either of the 3 listed...
I voted glock on the simple fact that it fit my hand better then the other two. + it was the gun I qualified with so I have a better understanding with it then the other two.
i vote glock carried one for years on duty and off. never owned the others.
I am an XD owner and have to agree. Just speaking for myself. The loaded chamber indicator on my XD does not mean much to me. I have carried so many guns that do not have this feature that round in pipe or not is something I know without using an indicator. Don't even need it in the dark. If I have picked up my XD for use...then that means it has one in the chamber.i don't know about you, but i think if you're carrying a weapon, you should know if its "got one in the pipe".
if you don't know the status of your own weapon, maybe you shouldn't be carrying one.
Did I just agree with a Glock person? Must have got carried away. Of course I want to add that XD's are by far the better gun.
Strike that last statement. Just remembered I have plans to buy a G36.
Last edited by madmag; 03-21-2007 at 11:07 PM.
i just prefer the glock.
let me know what you think about the G36.
never carry a firearm unless you have one "in the pipe"
and if anything should go down, don't stop and look at the little indicator to see if you have one loaded.
and madmag, you agreed with me because you are smart enough to know that the loaded chamber indicator is useless, it has nothing to do with which gun is better. good to know some one else out there has a little sense.
I am no expert on pistols by any means, but I have an M&P .40. I love it, fits real nice, comes with adjustable backstrap(or grip). It is now the most comfortable gun I have held for my long fingers. Shoots real nice, great trigger(I think), looks cool too. I also like the consistency of the double action, vs. the hard first pull of some others. I am sure glock is a great gun, but it didn't feel right in my hand.
Last edited by hipmatt; 04-05-2007 at 02:14 PM.
I voted M&P , I have a XD45 and have had Glocks,but the S&W is my favorite.
I carry a Springfield EMP for CCW most of the time, but I can carry the M&P . I will get a IWB holster for it soon.

Dave's Favorites: Share Your Photos With Flickr
It seems like there's a human compulsion--driven perhaps at the genetic level--to share pictures we've taken. Whether the pictures are of your pet, European vacation, grandkids, or car--there's nothing quite as satisfying as showing them to someone else. That's where photo sharing Web sites come in. You can upload your pictures to a public forum where friends and strangers alike can flip through your virtual photo albums.
Flickr works a bit differently than most sharing sites; it feels more like a true community of photo fans than most other services I've tried. Its most compelling feature is the way it lets you tag pictures with keywords. You can tag your pictures, and other people's photos as well, and then quickly browse all the photos at Flickr with specific tags.
You can add people with photos you like to your contacts list, leave comments for other photographers, and converse in Flickr's forums. And believe it or not, all that is just scratching the surface: The site also offers some simple photo editing tools; the ability to organize your photos into albums; and a slew of other group sharing features.
Flickr is free, but for about $40 per year you can subscribe to get more features, like unlimited photo storage and no advertisements. If you are an online photo junkie, this is one site you really need to check out.

The MolecularHealth offering, supported by the platform, is planned to be capable of translating genomic sequences of both tumor and normal cells -- more than 3 billion data points -- into potential treatment strategies. Physicians are planned to be able to select a treatment strategy for each patient from hundreds of approved drugs and clinical trials -- a process that today involves significant time and complexity. Genomic sequencing data amounts to approximately 2 terabytes of information per patient. Printed on paper, this amount of data would fill a medium-sized elementary school library. "The partnership between two exceptional players in their respective fields creates a unique opportunity to enable better decision-making in the healthcare industry," said Friedrich von Bohlen, chairman of the Executive Board, MolecularHealth. "Personalized cancer therapy solutions integrate cutting edge technologies with critical molecular, clinical and drug information to inform decision-making." The offering from MolecularHealth supported by SAP technology aims to change the way patients are treated and how the industry operates by providing customized treatments. Based on SAP HANA, a combination of mobile and cloud offerings are also planned, along with offerings for other diseases. A network that includes oncologists, researchers, regulatory authorities, life-sciences corporations, sequencing labs and care centers will be able to further change the way people with cancer and other diseases are treated. The underlying technology is intended to enable fast, real-time data analysis to boost operational efficiency and scalability. Additionally, as the cost to sequence a patient's tumor drops, the use of genetic data is quickly becoming actionable in the clinical setting. As a result, healthcare professionals such as oncologists will have more time to focus on their core mission — patient care.

Looking for a factory camo look
I just bought a SBE brand new from a local gun store trying to make room for the SBE II model (couldn't pass on the price).

First basketball, now elephants stir up Seattle-Oklahoma City rivalry
By Heide Brandes
OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - For some in Seattle still angered by the move of the city's NBA team to Oklahoma City, the move of elephants from a zoo in the Emerald City to one in the Red Dirt state stings in a familiar way.
Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, which is phasing out its elephant exhibit, said last week it would move its Asian elephants named Bamboo and Chai to the Oklahoma City Zoo, which has a social herd of elephants and a modern facility for the pachyderms.
"First they steal our basketball team, now they want our elephants! Is there no satisfying Oklahoma City," one reader wrote in a comment section of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper, referring to the Seattle SuperSonics' move to Oklahoma City in 2008.
On Thursday, Sally Bagshaw, a member of Seattle's City Council said members will not block the move to Oklahoma but would rather see Woodland move the elephants to a sanctuary, local media report said.
Woodland Park Zoo said it had spent three months evaluating a new home for Bamboo and Chai and the Oklahoma City Zoo was the best match.
Dwight Lawson, the executive director of the Oklahoma City Zoo said: "Adding Bamboo and Chai will help round out our family."
Opponents contend the 40-hour drive to the new home would be too stressful for the animals and that Oklahoma City's climate could pose a danger.
Woodland Park Zoo President Deborah Jensen said most zoo goers are sad to see the elephants leave but understand the reasoning for the move, with the basketball history not making much of an impact. Continued...

A strip of U.S. 27 A in Bronson was officially dedicated to the memory and service of Army Spc. James A. Page Friday morning in Bronson.
About 30 people, including family, friends and representatives from several state and local agencies, attended the dedication.
"You know, it's times like this when we look at the price people pay for our freedoms," said State Representative Leonard Bembry minutes before unveiling a new roadside sign about a mile south of the intersection of S.R. 24.

Hey, just listened to the 05-31-2013 podcast. Great show overall, but the Pat Robertson segment caused me some pain. Flogging ole Pat's ignorant remarks is always fun and not very difficult, in this case ripping Robertson's reactionary defense of the Ecuadoran Christian minister presidential candidate stripped of his political rights for one year and fined for making homophobic remarks during his recent presidential campaign (the minister received 1.23% of the vote by the way).
Story >> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-21750105
So Jimmy asked, "I didn't know Ecuador was so forward thinking. Did you? I wouldn't think they would be."
To which Katy Lazarus replies, "No, they are not progressive generally. It's a Catholic country."
Jimmy asks again, "But how could that be if they have this law…?"
To which Lazarus repeats, "It's a Catholic country." To which Jim Earl starts riffing about "but they have very progressive Nazis" etc.
Those remarks are painful to hear coming from folks who present themselves as bad ass progressives. First, the remarks are shockingly anti-Catholic (Catholics can't be progressive; anyone hear of "revolutionary liberation theology"?) and even racist. Second, they reveal an out-of-date understanding of recent Latin American history and current realities.
For example, the Ecuadoran government is presently giving Wikileaks' Julian Assange political asylum in its London embassy. Ecuador is facing down both Britain and the US right now.
Ecuador's President Rafael Correa is one of South America's most progressive, leftist leaders, an ally of the late Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Evo Morales in Bolivia and others on the left. Correa was re-elected president "for a third term with nearly 60% of the vote" (BBC) to that homophobic Christian minister's 1.23% share of the vote. In 2008 Correa declared Ecuador's national debt an illegitimate odious debt incurred by previous reactionary, corrupt governments which Ecuador would not pay. Correa ejected the US military and its air base from Ecuador in 2009. Correa spearheaded the drive that gave Ecuador a new, very progressive national constitution in 2008.
So carry on making fun of the right's ignorance by all means. I enjoy that. But left political satirists especially need to be working out of correct facts. It makes the humor funnier and more progressive.
I still love you! Take care.
Thanks for rethinking Equador comments. Would you also rethink your bullying tone with Jim Earl regarding Code pink story? I'm a longtime listener and have noticed more "my way or the highway" from Jimmy recently. Your topics are not blackn white as the Equador topic showed. When Jim reflects a different view than Jimmy's, it makes the show more interesting. So calm down Jimmy and consider this next time yourfirst instinct is to slam him like Joe Scarsbough would….. Love the show. Come to Portland, we miss you!

eCommerce revenues are soaring around the globe. This year, the US, Western Europe, and China alone will generate over $800 billion in online retail sales. Growth rates, too, remain staggering in many countries: China's massive online retail market will more than double between 2013 and 2018, as will Brazil's. India's much smaller market will grow by eight-fold during this timeframe.
However, a litany of businesses have failed as they attempted to tap into shoppers outside of their home markets, with many large US and European brands factoring prominently on the list of casualties. eCommerce is no exception: Numerous eCommerce businesses have taken the plunge into new markets, only to find their offerings didn't resonate with local consumers or they were outsmarted by much savvier local rivals.
What separates successful global eCommerce businesses from their counterparts? Which tactics have proven particularly effective for brands aiming to extend their reach into new markets? What are some of the most common challenges businesses tend to encounter? Our newly published eCommerce globalization playbook helps brands through the thorny process of global expansion. Clients can read our playbook for insights on how to:
Discover and quantify international revenue opportunities. Our playbook includes reports outlining the global opportunity and identifying how eCommerce markets typically develop with time. Our online retail forecasts for the US and Canada, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America provide a quantitative look at market sizes and eCommerce trends in these regions.

Online retailers are rapidly adding emerging markets to their list of new global opportunities to explore, as these markets are set to take a growing percentage of global eCommerce sales going forward. However, it's important to remember that Europe still ranks as at the most popular region outside of North America for US online retailers expanding internationally. The market is set to grow at a healthy pace over the next five years: Clients can read my colleague Martin Gill's recently published forecast of online retail sales in key markets across Europe.
Some takeaways from recent conversations with online retailers expanding into and within Europe:
Posted by Zia Daniell Wigder on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on March 1, 2012
FiftyOne, the company that provides globalization and international logistics services to US-based online retailers such as Gap, Pottery Barn, and Crate & Barrel, announced today that it is acquiring Canada Post's Borderfree unit. Borderfree, one of the first organizations to play a role in driving cross-border eCommerce, carved out a niche for itself helping US online retailers target online shoppers in Canada.
A few observations:
The acquisition does not disrupt the landscape of solution providers. With this acquisition, FiftyOne boosts its Canadian offerings and takes a small competitor out of the market, but the acquisition does not counter any direct threat from another solution provider in the space. Other providers tend to focus on different market segments, for example, International Checkout counts hundreds of clients in the SMB space, while BorderJump focuses on Latin America and the Caribbean (For an outline of different vendors, clients can read our 2011 report on Using International Shipping To Reach Online Shoppers Around The Globe). Today FiftyOne does not face another rival with the same roster of large clients.
Posted by Zia Daniell Wigder on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on January 26, 2012
Back in 2010, we wrote a report that looked at how and where US online retailers were expanding internationally. Today we published a related report that focuses on brands that have extended their international offerings by launching transactional websites. Establishing A Global Direct Online Sales Footprint looks at the countries where brands are choosing to focus on with their eCommerce offerings, and some of the tactics they've used to keep costs in check.
A handful of findings from the report:
Brands rarely enter a market by selling direct on their websites. Most brands enabling eCommerce on their global websites today already sell in these markets through traditional retail channels — the online sales channel simply becomes a new way to reach consumers.
Country selection is not always dictated by market size. Brands expanding their online offerings in Europe, for example, often focus first on the UK, France, and Germany. After the big three, however, the ease and convenience of serving other markets often trumps market size.
Online sales strategies differ by market. Rare is the brand that has an identical offering in every international market. Most brands that offer eCommerce-enabled sites also provide informational sites in other markets, with little consistency in how the informational sites direct online shoppers to the brands' retail partners.
Posted by Zia Daniell Wigder on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on December 22, 2011
As we look back on the year 2011, eCommerce organizations continued to expand their global reach. A growing number of US and European retailers started shipping internationally. Brands enabled eCommerce on their own websites in new markets and launched online stores on marketplaces in multiple countries. Other companies with an interest in global eCommerce used the year to gain insights into new markets, determining which ones to prioritize in the years ahead. Rumors swirled about Amazon preparing to enter India. Or Brazil.
For many companies, however, the globalization process is still just beginning. Aside from a handful of companies that operate eCommerce sites around the world, few companies have a truly global online footprint. The growing number of US- and European-based companies that ship internationally will see revenues increase from these markets, but will start to hit a language ceiling: Close to two-thirds of online consumers in both France and Germany, for example, agreed with the statement, "I only shop from websites in my native language." In the UK, the percentage is close to three-quarters.
2012 will not be the year that eCommerce organizations blanket the globe with localized offerings – they will, however, continue stepping into international waters. Next year we expect to see :

Back in September, I wrote up a few of my findings from meetings with companies in the eCommerce space in Rio and São Paulo. We're fielding an increasing number of questions about Brazil, and indeed, while eCommerce in Brazil today is still heavily dominated by local companies, the landscape is starting to include more international players:
Posted by Zia Daniell Wigder on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on April 6, 2011
Over the past year, we've worked together with the forecast team at Forrester to help eBusiness professionals understand the size of different online retail markets around the globe. Last year we published our first look at the online retail markets in some of the major markets in Asia-Pacific — this year, we've just published our first forecast for two of the largest online retail markets in Latin America, Brazil and Mexico. Some findings from the report include:
Posted by Zia Daniell Wigder on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on October 21, 2010
One trend over the past year has been a growing interest in markets outside of North America and Europe. We're getting an increasing number of inquiries about markets in Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East - companies are anxious to map out their strategies for major eCommerce markets like Japan and China, as well as others such as Brazil and Russia. Retailers with an offline presence in affluent markets like the Gulf States are considering supplementing their traditional retail channels with an online one.
If you're looking to expand into any of these areas of the world, I wrote up some observations which were just published in Internet Retailer yesterday. Have a look if you're interested in emerging trends among online buyers in China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Brazil and the UAE.
Posted by Zia Daniell Wigder on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on September 22, 2010
The past couple of months have seen a number of new initiatives and shifts on the global online retail front: Zara went live with a series of eCommerce sites (in five languages in Spain alone) while Gap started selling to an international online audience. At the same time, eBay conceded the market in China and looked to partner with market leader Alibaba. More companies have started coming to us asking about eCommerce in less traditional markets, with markets like Russia and Saudi Arabia being brought up with increasing frequency in our calls with clients.
We've recently published some research that helps companies sort through different international online markets: our Global Online Population Forecast looks at how the online population is shifting around the globe while A Snapshot Of Emerging Mobile Commerce In China puts the growth of mCommerce in China in perspective with its regional neighbors. Establishing A Global Online Retail Footprint looks at where US online retailers have expanded internationally and what factors they should consider as they decide which new markets to target. A few takeaways from recent research:

Princeton: Woods and Water Built This Town
Princeton benefited from its location on a river -- the St. Croix -- that was useful for transportation of people and lumber and for powering mills as well as on its proximity to forests.
Paper has shaped Maine's economy, molded individual and community identities, and impacted the environment throughout Maine. When Hugh Chisholm opened the Otis Falls Pulp Company in Jay in 1888, the mill was one of the most modern paper-making facilities in the country, and was connected to national and global markets. For the next century, Maine was an international leader in the manufacture of pulp and paper.
After the canoe, steamboats became the favored method of transportation on Moosehead Lake. They revolutionized movement of logs and helped promote tourism in the region.

Unsaved Movie Review 18: Shutter Island
Decent movie, but some will definitely get offended considering I will be presenting an opinion that's not popular with the mainstream. I am against Eugenics and will not be afraid to declare that to you and other viewers. I'm not saying that the movie is saying "Eugenics is good", but I will be basically say that the movie tries to discredit the existence of it within American society... which is wrong, because America has had a terrible history of supporting Eugenics... Thought the movie was overall a decent film and it really makes you think, but I am not afraid and won't regret saying that "Eugenics is evil" because it is.

Development Closer to Breaking Ground
Developer Charles Townsend won approval of the preliminary plan of the development across from Sam's Club - but he can't say who are the businesses that may open there in a year, until ground is broken.
Townsend says he has been working with owner Marilyn Vaughan and her sister for four or five years, and things might happen soon.
If everything lines up (but nothing is guaranteed) they may break ground in 60 days, for up to 13 retailers on the middle 11 acres of the property. Two would be larger retail, what he calls "junior box" stores.
Two lots at both the north and south ends are not planned to be developed...yet...but that could also change.
With satisfaction from the city on traffic, drainage, and other aspects, the planning board approved the overall design Wednesday afternoon.
But if that doesn't work out, the 18 acres may still be a farm with benefits.
Monday night, council considered not approving a renewal of it as an Agricultural District.
The county contended that it was not being farmed, but in emails from council, they appear to have missed their deadline...and the owner said if plans fall through, soy beans could still be planted this summer. The city's deadline is July 9th.
The name "Guernsey Crossing" was given by the owners, whose Guernsey cows crossed from where Olive Garden is now, at Seney Road, to the milking barn near J.C. Penny's.

My Reflections:
Jesus in the gospel is not only speaking to the apostles he is also speaking to us He tells us that we must not compromise with wrong. Even if it creates division and enmity we must be faithful with our discipleship with Him.
This sometimes is where we fall to sin when we compromise our faith because we are afraid to lose valuable friendship and relatives. We compromise our faith because we don't want to burn our bridges with those around us.
Take courage! Make a stand for Jesus regardless who may get hurt! Even your close relatives or friends. Eventually they'll realize that you're just speaking the truth and making a stand for Jesus.

OYB April 27
Julie FerwerdaJulie Ferwerda's Blog
- 2009 Apr 27
8:20 Turning to Jether, his oldest son, he said, "Kill them!" But Jether did not draw his sword, for he was only a boy and was afraid. Could there be a better display of Gideon's fleshly character sneaking to the surface displaying his view of himself? This is his "default" mode as the weakest in Israel.
8:31 His concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech. The name Abimelech means "My father, a king"; Gideon intended that his son would take a leadership role in Israel after Gideon himself was gone (Guzik).
It appears that Gideon slipped into a less than godly life toward the end. You can see this by many of his choices-the ephod that became a snare, and his many wives. David Guzik says this about him:
Through his career, we see Gideon as a man who slipped from great heights of faith, to a place of outright apostasy and rebellion against God. What killed Gideon (or what killed his faith) was success, riches, and prominence. It isn't enough for us to begin well with God; we must continue on throughout our whole Christian life. Gideon, in his later years, could only look back on his great deeds for God, for they were all in the past.
"Perhaps it is easier to honor God in some courageous action in the limelight of a time of national emergency than it is to honor Him consistently in the ordinary, everyday life, which requires a different kind of courage." (Cundall)
9:18 But now you have revolted against my father and his descendants, killing his seventy sons on one stone. And you have chosen his slave woman's son, Abimelech, to be your king just because he is your relative. I think this could possibly be an anti-Christ type. The slave woman could represent Hagar (Abraham's servant and the mother of Ishmael). Remember that both Ishmael and Esau represent the line of the anti-Christ (both Israel's physical and spiritual enemies) that would fight against Israel (Jacob) until the showdown at the end of this age. This shows a rejection of the true sons of Israel being killed "on one stone."
23:50-51 Now there was a good and righteous man named Joseph. He was a member of the Jewish high council, but he had not agreed with the decision and actions of the other religious leaders. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea, and he was waiting for the Kingdom of God to come. This verse shows that Joseph was waiting for the Kingdom, and he believed Jesus was that Kingdom. He was one of the few on the Jewish council who "saw" Jesus.
For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes – so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.' But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. Matthew 13:15-16
23:54 This was done late on Friday afternoon, the day of preparation, as the Sabbath was about to begin. We have covered that I believe this was not Friday, but preparation for the special Sabbath that always follows Passover, called a "high Sabbath." I believe it was a Wednesday. You can see that NLT took the liberty to say "Friday" since the NASB reads: "It was the preparation day, and the Sabbath was about to begin." No mention of Friday!
Here is a hint about this. Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. John 19:31 Notice that it is distinguished as a high Sabbath and not a regular Sabbath. Now a high Sabbath can fall on a regular Sabbath, but remember that Jesus had to be in the grave 3 days AND 3 nights, because of the "sign of Jonah."
Questions for reflection:
We have said it many times: it's not how you start; it's how you finish! How can you stay strong to the finish? What safeguards need to be put in place to keep your devotion to God pure and undefiled? It seems that idols, pleasure, and pride are a few of the more prominent snares that pull people's hearts away. What can you do to safeguard against those?

Miguel Cartagena turns pro!
Top rated US amateur star Miguel Cartagena is set to make his highly anticipated professional debut Saturday, March 26th at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City as part of the undercard of the Yuriokis Gamboa-Jorge Solis card promoted by Top Rank.
Cartagena has set his mark in the amateurs with a sparkling record 114-11, which includes several championship titles in both the United States and Europe. Now the 2009 National Golden Gloves Champion looks to use his well honed skills to work towards his lifelong dream of becoming a world champion.
"I am excited and want to put on a show for my fans," said Cartagena. "I have been waiting for this my whole life and can't wait to see my name up in lights. My style has always been better suited for the professional game. I have been training for this fight as if it was for a world title fight."
Recently signed by Moz Gonzalez and Eddie Woods of E&M Management, several big things are in the works for the highly touted prospect.
"We believe Miguel has what it takes to be one of the best in the world and we are working diligently to put him in the best position to do that, "said Gonzalez. "The card on March 26th is an opportunity for Miguel to show the world that he will soon be one the rising young superstars in boxing today. He has the charm and charisma to be one of the best in the game and we are extremely happy to have signed him."
Trainer Javier Varella said: "I feel he will be even better as a professional than he was as an amateur because of his power. He wants and needs the longer rounds so he can take his time and set up his power shots, even though he also has tremendous hand speed to box with the some best fighters out there. He has a warrior's mentality and wants to make his pro debut a war. I hope his opponent can weather that storm, because if he can't, it will be an ugly night for him.
Co-manager Eddie Wood said: "The sky's the limit for Miguel and we are thankful for Top Rank to have given him the chance to open his career on such an important fight card. Look out world, Cartagena is coming!!!"

Smerconish asked by Fox News to say Obama is "cocky and that his cockiness will hurt him"
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
In a Washington Post op-ed, radio host Michael Smerconish decries the "artificial presentation of attitudes on cable TV and talk radio," which present "only two, diametrically opposed philosophical approaches to the issues."
Smearconish recounts CNN insisting that he give a partisan identification when appearing on Larry King Live during the presidential campaign. He goes on to describe this interaction with a Fox News producer:
Another time, a Fox News producer invited me to appear on a program to discuss then-candidate Barack Obama. I was told they were "looking for someone who would say he's cocky and that his cockiness will hurt him, if not in the primary, definitely in the general election against McCain." I declined. A few hours later, the same producer made a new pitch: "What about a debate off the top of the show on whether or not Hillary is trustworthy? We have someone who says she is and we're looking for someone who says she isn't."
The message of both episodes is clear: There is no room for nuance. Either you offer a consistent (possibly artificial) ideological view or you often don't get a say.

In the collector car world, stylish convertibles with incredible power usually command big attention and serious money. Need proof? Check out all those dual-quad Impalas and Sting Ray roadsters that routinely pull 6-figure prices simply because they exist. That begs the question: how do you get breakneck performance that's wrapped in a jaw-dropping shell without draining your kid's college fund? Well, you take a serious look at a gem like this fantastic Backdraft Racing Cobra! A modern spin on a timeless sports car, this roadster mixes a Ford Performance Coyote Boss 302 V8 with a tough Tremec 5-speed, BMW suspension components and crowd-pleasing aesthetics. If you're in the market for a storied classic that's destined to lead the pack, you've found your pride and joy!
From inception, Backdraft cars are turnkey products developed and engineered to mimic the vintage appeal of authentic aluminum Cobras while handily out-performing pretty much anything on the street. The assembly of this roadster's professionally finished body began with a steel-lined GRP molding that was hand-tweaked and gel coated on a full-size rotisserie rack. Once that coating was complete, the newly formed fuselage was smoothed by a seasoned fiberglass professional, baked in an even coat of primer and inspected top-to-bottom to ensure first-class quality. When quality control was cleared, brilliant Guardsman Blue 2-stage was detailed with Wimbledon White racing stripes, stamped with traditional roundels, splashed with yellow hash marks and polished to a head-turning shine. And today, this super slick Cobra is a sophisticated build that exhibits twice the style and twice the race-bred DNA of a typical replicar boulevard cruiser.
Assembled in December of 2013 by Custom Cars of Boynton Beach, Florida, this Cobra is a carefully detailed stunner that's logged less than 2K miles. That detailing begins with a sculpted and re-angled nose, which hangs chrome-trimmed tri-bar headlights over mesh grilles, clear parking lamps and polished quick lifts. A rivet-lined hood anchors a small scoop in front of locking latches and polished stainless wipers. Behind those wipers, like-new glass hangs polished Raydot mirrors in front of clear wind wings, dark-tint visors, polished roll bars and a tight cloth top. At the sides of the car, coated exhaust pipes frame finned air extractors, stylish Ford emblems and a familiar, Monza-style fuel filler. And at the back of the car, bullet-style tail lamps combine with a chrome tag light to illuminate a locking trunk handle and two more polished quick lifts.
If your interest was piqued by this Shelby's incredible aesthetics, hoisting its glossy hood will have you literally enthralled. Featured in Ford's second generation Boss 302, and officially named 'Coyote Boss 302', the car's state-of-the-art V8 utilizes sinter-forged rods, forged aluminum pistons, CNC-ed aluminum heads and sodium-filled exhaust valves to turn stout 11 to 1 compression into roughly 420 horsepower. At the top of the all-aluminum mill, a remote air filter feeds a composite Boss 302 intake by way of polished tubing and an 80mm single-bore, drive-by-wire throttle body. At the sides of the engine, polished coil covers and color-keyed fuel rail covers shade ceramic-coated headers. At the front of the engine, a Ford serpentine system spins an assortment of smooth ancillaries. Track worthy lubrication is supplied by Ford's 8.5-quart dry-sump oil system. A big aluminum radiator, mounted in front of a large electric puller fan and fabricated expansion tank, provides plenty of first-rate cooling. And overall, the svelte powerplant, installed and dyno-tuned by Florida's Speed Fanatix, is extremely tidy, with sleeved wiring, braided hoses and polished water tubes highlighting a clean, Cast Silver block.
Rule number one of hot rodding: an excellent drivetrain isn't worth the metal it's built from unless it's paired with a competent chassis. Behind this Cobra's hot mod motor, a Tremec T5 5-speed spins a BMW limited-slip rear end that creates whiplash-inducing acceleration while still allowing the car to loaf along at highway speeds. That drivetrain, which is bolted to a hot-rolled rectangular steel ladder-type chassis, sends power through the same BMW-sourced MacPherson strut front and fully independent rear suspension that's become a Backdraft hallmark. Turns come courtesy of BMW-sourced power rack-and-pinion steering. Stops are provided by power-assisted discs at all four corners that, thanks to this car's featherweight construction, are virtually impervious to fade. And there's simply nothing that looks better on a Cobra than a set of Halibrand-style wheels, which spin two 265/35R18 Falken Azenis and two 295/40R18 Falken Azenis around polished Backdraft spinners.
Between the doors, it's all purpose all the time, as supple leather and fresh carpet culminate in a simple yet attractive driving environment. Front and center, deep bucket seats pin soft pleats under 4-point safety harnesses. Looking forward, a familiar fiberglass dash frames sedate Auto Meter telemetry and a locking, Carroll Shelby-autographed glovebox under tight upholstery and a polished mirror. Below that dash, a curved shifter pivots between a chrome fire extinguisher, a polished hand brake, a small kill switch and Backdraft Racing floor mats. And in front of the driver, a classy Moto-Lita steering wheel spins an awesome hardwood rim around polished spokes and a Cobra-branded horn button.
- A full tonneau cover
- Matching side curtains
- Coated exhaust shields
There simply aren't that many chances to own a first class sport car – especially at this money. And with its euro-spec chassis, modern 5-speed and Ford Performance engine, this Cobra is guaranteed to be a blast to drive. If you're looking to add a little fire to your arsenal, just open the garage and unleash this Backdraft!

At Ramsey Solutions, we construct our technology solutions in a service-oriented architectural style with components written in Ruby, Java, Objective-C, and Javascript.
Our service tier is composed of RESTful micro-services written in Java and Spring Boot. Typically, resource representations are serialized to JSON. We also use HAL-JSON in some cases. Java services persist their relational data to PostgreSQL through Hibernate or JOOQ.
Clients of these services vary from REACT-based single-page web applications to native platform (iOS, Android) applications to Rails applications backed by MySQL.
We generate our client-side code (CSS, Javascript) with SASS, CoffeeScript, and ECMAScript along with the latest and greatest npm-based tools.
As our analytics and reporting needs grow, we are separating operational and analytical data. We are investing in a data platform to combine disparate sources through real-time stream processing of events as well as batch-oriented processing of relational data.
The shared services and components are pooled together and referred to as Nicodemus. The Nicodemus charge is "to combine the most common features into one platform." This ranges from drop-in components that are utilized in hundreds of locations to our robust shared services. We're constantly expanding and growing our platform to meet the needs of our businesses, and most importantly, the needs of our customers!

UNDERSTANDING HEALTH REFORM — The basics of the Affordable Care Act
The government shutdown and what seems to have become a political fight over implementation of a new health care law are generating confusion in America. Amid the politics, many Americans are wondering what effect these changes will have on them.
It would be nearly impossible to understand everything within the 2,000-some pages of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, which, as of Oct. 1, intends to make health insurance widely available and more affordable for people, requiring health care plans to cover most anybody at regulated premiums, regardless of preexisting conditions.
"We are in for a big change in the way the country handles health insurance," said Chris Miller of Miller and Associates of Edmore. "It's going to be a learning curve for everybody involved."
As time ticks away towards the Jan. 1, 2014, the deadline for healthcare open enrollment, many consumers, including myself, are faced with several questions. To better educate myself and help me, personally, better understand the questions at hand, I searched government-sponsored websites online (mainly www.healthcare.gov) for information.
My findings certainly don't even begin to scratch the surface of every possible situation or person involved, but I tried to touch on a few key points, which will hopefully clear up some confusion. I encourage individuals and businesses to take a moment and go online to www.healthcare.gov, navigate the website and take a more in-depth look at ACA and how it affects their particular situation.
How will the Affordable Care Act extend health care coverage in 2014?
• Individual mandate: Mandates that all Americans maintain a minimum level of health coverage or face a tax penalty.
• Insurance exchanges: Creates state-based health insurance Exchanges and provides federal premium tax credits and cost-sharing subsidies to assist low- and moderate-income individuals without affordable employer-sponsored insurance in obtaining health coverage.
• Medicaid expansion: Expands Medicaid up to 133 percent of federal poverty level.
• Employer mandate: Mandates, for the first time, that employers with 50 or more full-time employees offer coverage or pay tax penalties.
Who is eligible for insurance benefits under ACA?
According to www.obamacarefacts.com, most anyone can buy private health insurance through insurance exchanges, except for those who don't file income taxes, including illegal immigrants and those with little or no income. They are not eligible to receive government subsidies and are not penalized. Exemptions include undocumented immigrants, prisoners and members of some religious groups (Amish people, for example) if social security benefits have been customarily declined.
Where do I sign up?
Online insurance "marketplaces" or "exchanges" opened Oct. 1 around the nation. Michigan residents may use the government website located at www.healthcare.gov to apply for coverage, compare plans and enroll. Coverage can start as soon as Jan. 1, 2014.
Where should I go to get help answering questions or to guide me through the process?
The www.healthcare.gov website provides a wealth of information for individuals, families and small business owners, including tips on navigating the marketplace website and choosing the right plan. The site also provides phone contacts, live web chats and a list of places (by zip code) offering personal help in understanding plan options and enrollment.
What is "a qualifying plan," according to the ACA?
A "qualifying plan" is one that provides the essential insurance benefits, which include emergency services, hospitalizations, laboratory services, maternity care, mental health and substance abuse treatment, outpatient or ambulatory care, pediatric care, prescription drugs, preventive care, rehabilitative and habilitative (helping maintain daily functioning) services and vision and dental care for children, according to www.obamacarefacts.com. Starting in 2014, the ACA largely requires individual plans to provide the aforementioned essential health benefits and cover pre-existing conditions. The law also limits how much premiums can vary based on age.
What will happen if my plan doesn't meet ACA standards?
Current health care policy holders whose policies don't meet ACA standards will receive a letter from their insurance carrier, stating that their plan will change or be mapped into a plan mandated by Obamacare effective Jan. 1, 2014, according to Grotenhuis marketing vice-president Valerie Cramer, who works a special health care reform support center for insurance agents. Grotenhuis, located in Grand Rapids, is one of only a few Michigan general agents for Blue Cross/Blue Shield (BCBS). Local health insurance agents must place business through a general agent, such as Grotenhuis, and only general agents can communicate directly with BCBS.
What are the penalties for choosing to go without insurance?
According to www.healthcare.gov, most people must have health coverage in 2014 or pay a penalty of $95 per adult, $47.50 per child (up to $285 per family), or 1 percent of their income, whichever is higher. This fee increases every year.
How does Obamacare affect Medicaid recipients?
In August, Michigan became the 25th state to approve the Medicaid expansion, a key part of the ACA. Under new Medicaid expansion rules starting April 2014, people who previously were ineligible may now qualify. New rules state that anyone earning up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level (which currently is about $15,800 for a single person and $32,500 for a family of four, according to www.healthcare.gov) qualifies. To see whether you qualify for Medicaid in Michigan, contact a state Medicaid agency or fill out an application for coverage in the Health Insurance Marketplace. After submitting the application, applicants will be notified of plans for which they qualify. If they're eligible for Medicaid, the Medicaid agency will be notified so coverage can start in 2014.
How are businesses affected by ACA?
The law does not require employers to provide health insurance, however, any employer with 50 or more full-time employees that doesn't provide this coverage must pay a fee. Employers that do provide coverage must meet the minimum ACA "qualifying plan" requirements. Smaller businesses (with less than 25 employees) that pay all or part of employees' health insurance may be eligible for a tax credit.
What about individuals who are self-employed, retired, US veterans or currently uninsured?
The insurance marketplace (www.healthcare.gov) allows the self-employed and uninsured to shop for "more affordable" health care options. Retirees may find supplemental plans that are less expensive or offer more comprehensive coverage at the marketplace. For people enrolled in a VA health care plan, no action is necessary as the plan meets ACA requirements.

New Furnace what Type
I am looking at replacing our exsisting furnace. Oil /Hot water B/B.
Coil in the boiler.
I have looked over quite a few different types and makes of furnaces and with our exsisting structure. 2000 sq feet older home. I have been leading towards replacing the old technology with a "cold start indirect water heater furnace.
I am wondering with 5 people using hot water if this would be the best way to go and what model of furnace.
I have looked at Biasi- , Buderus with a logomatic control, Max from Laars as well as Viessmann. With the exception of Viessmann the others all are quoted with Riello burners.
Any comments on plus or minus features for any of the above or others that I have not seem would be appreciated. As well what would the difference if any be between any of the above boilers.
Hi qmiester
If you are going to use a hydronic system, check out the Dunkirk Q90 & 95. They are the leading edge.

Early on in my fly fishing pursuits I found myself releasing my 14th trout in two hours of fishing the Connetquot River. I felt good about this until a man walked by claiming to have caught 50. He'd grown bored, he said, and was going home early. Adding insult, he scooped a dip from his lower lip and flicked it into the water, where a trout rose to meet it.
The Connetquot River has been described as Long Island's blue ribbon trout stream, a once private fishing club turned into a pristine State Park with an on-site hatchery that stocked it with kamloops rainbows, brooks and browns. Some of the fish held over and reproduced, creating a small wild population, and some below the dam attained sea run status, heading out beyond where the river dumps into the Great South Bay.
It worked via a beat system–a valid NY fishing license and $20 reserved the opportunity to fish an assigned stretch of river (choice of spots given by the order of sign in) for a four hour segment.
Fishing there always made you feel like a better fly angler than you really were; the deck was stacked in your favor like Kim Jong Il on the golf course. It fished that way until 2008, when an outbreak of Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis forced the State to shut down the hatchery.
The park opened early in the winter of 2009 and started a cull-fest, encouraging anglers to keep every fish they caught in order to rid the river of contaminated fish. I went one day; most stretches of water had been picked clean but I witnessed one young angler konk an old kyped brown trout and stuff it in a plastic bag.
In its heyday the park always had detractors for obvious reasons, and I've felt conflicted about it, but mostly enjoyed my times there. My friends and I learned a lot about fly fishing making pre-dawn pilgrimages from Hoboken and New York City. The fish were stocked, but some of them held over and the browns in particular could prove as challenging and rewarding as any fish anywhere.
Fishing at the park itself was steeped in ethics. It was one of the first places to ban felt sole, making rubber-soled hip waders mandatory in all wading spots. (One justification for the hip-waders–you couldn't wade out too far and degrade the river bed with your footwork.) Barbless hooks were mandatory, egg patterns were banned, and general assholery not tolerated. Gil the riverkeeper walked the trails along the banks making sure your gear was copacetic, that you were respecting others' space or to gently explain how your clumsy wading was ruining it for every angler downstream. Violations resulted in banishment.
Trout Unlimited and the Boy Scouts and other local conservation groups kept the waters and trails clean and practiced stream restoration.
These types of things carry over.
So I was thrilled this week to read in Newsday that the Friends of the Connetquot organization raised the necessary funding to get the hatchery back on track. The river is an amazing resource and, according to the article, the fly fishing brings in $300,000 of much-needed revenue annually to the park.
Thanks to Friends of the Connetquot for making this happen.

Aaron Mullins tore his ACL seven games into this senior season. In those seven games, Mullins had a strong effort with 48 tackles and 2 fumble recoveries for Tates Creek. Now Mullins is working to rehabilitate that injury and get ready for the next level.
"It's getting better each and everyday," said Mullins. "It's going to take about eight months to fully heal so I can play football," said the 6-foot-2, 240-pound lineman.
Mullins is getting in consistent workouts to get his knee back on track.
"I'm going to the gym three days a week and doing exercises in the pool," he continued.
Mullins is sitting on one scholarship offer right now, from Illinois State, but he's still hearing from a couple of other schools. UCLA and Western Kentucky are still in contact, but it looks like Mullins has some other options at his disposal as well.
"The options I have are to attend a prep school or grayshirt," he said. "My recruiting process is not over. I'm think I'm eligible to be in the 2012 class now," he said.
Mullins will go ahead and take an official visit to Illinois State in the next couple of weeks, but don't expect a decision any time soon.
"I have until next year to make my decision," said Mullins.
