If anglers limit their summertime bass fishing to daylight hours on deep, clear water reservoirs, it is unlikely they will enjoy a true smallmouth experience. That's the opinion of Jerry Brumbaugh, a professional angler from Pennsylvania whose specialty is brown bass.
Jim Duckworth, one of Tennessee's most recognized fishing guides, puts it in even simpler terms: "Smallmouth turn on when the sun goes down."
These experts know that during the summer from New England to Arkansas, smallmouth become creatures of the night on many lakes.
When nighttime calls
For years, Duckworth has been doing whatever it takes to ensure his clients meet with success. To that end, his bass fishing takes a decided turn to the "dark side" come summer.
"Smallmouth are a pretty smart fish, or perhaps it's better to describe them as having very good survival instincts," explains the 25 year veteran of Middle Tennessee reservoirs.
"Mature smallmouth are extremely wary - even more so than largemouth. Telemetry studies show that on lakes with a lot of summer boat traffic, smallmouth shift their primary feeding to the cover of darkness.
"Water clarity also plays a part," continues Duckworth. "On superclear smallmouth lakes, such as renowned Dale Hollow, the locals never bother fishing in daylight - through summer. I will not take guide trips during the day on Dale Hollow because it's a waste of time. But at night, it's a different story - I can count on a smallie over 5 pounds for a client every couple of trips."
North of the Mason-Dixon Line, Brumbaugh stakes out a similar position. "On my home water of Raystown Lake in south-central Pennsylvania, I can catch largemouth during daylight hours with regularity through the summer. But if smallmouth bass are my focus, then I must fish after dark."
Brumbaugh backs up his opinion by referencing the results of local tournament weigh-ins. Raystown's bass population basically consists of 50 percent largemouth and 50 percent smallmouth. But during daytime tournaments on the lake, largemouth catches outdistance smallmouth by a hefty margin.
"I'm not a biologist, so I can't put a scientific spin on the reason," continues Brumbaugh. "I don't know if smallmouth are turned off by boating activity, or if it's simply that preferred prey is more available after dark.
"I do know that when the lake stops churning from all the daytime boat activity, baitfish schools that have been suspended over deep water will move to the surface to feed. Plus, crawfish come out of crevices after dark, as well. So, with their favorite prey available, it only makes sense that smallmouth become more active."
Based on 15 years of fishing experience, Brumbaugh relies on a specific temperature guideline to launch his night fishing mode. "Once water temperature climbs past 80 degrees on inland lakes, smallmouth suspend off structure during the day and switch a significant part of their feeding activity to after sundown."
However, both anglers point to factors that may offset a strong night feeding response. Dark, overcast skies during the day sometimes trigger smallmouth to move shallower to feed. Also, current can impact feeding times. River smallmouth are far more active during daylight than reservoir smallies in the same water temperatures. And in power generating reservoirs, pulling water will result in bronzebacks putting on the feedbag.
Brumbaugh also spends considerable time fishing Lake Erie. He acknowledges that Great Lakes smallies feed during daylight hours right through the summer. "The water temperature on these big lakes rarely reaches 80 degrees - which supports my theory that temperature turns smallmouth into nocturnal feeders."
Night location: Habitat or prey driven?
The structural characteristics that typically describe a classic smallmouth lake are the very ones that make for a good night fishing lake, according to Duckworth. "First, I want a lake that has a lot of points dropping into deep water. Daytime water visibility must be more than 4 feet - in other words, pretty clear water. And I want a good flow so the water will be exchanged fairly quickly. Those green bass might like stagnant water, but not brown bass.
"At night I concentrate on main lake points as well as some of the major points in creek arms," continues Duckworth. "I like a shale bank with an area of red clay nearby.
Crawfish love red clay, and smallies love points. So when you put the two together — Shazam!"
Yet Duckworth says the best lakes for catching big smallmouth bass at night are ones with threadfin shad. "Threadfin are basically a shallow water baitfish, which means smallmouth will be shallow to feed. In lakes where alewives have been introduced, the summer smallmouth fishing has been crippled substantially because the bass will be more than 40 feet deep with the alewives. They won't even come shallower under the cover of darkness because there is so much food down deep."
Brumbaugh believes one way around the alewife problem is to focus on lakes with balanced habitat and a variety of prey species. According to Brumbaugh, Raystown is a good example of a balanced lake with flats and bluff banks, plus an eclectic mix of prey. Brumbaugh likes the availability of different main lake cover, including deadfalls and rock on the steep banks, and stumps, rockpiles and weedbeds on the flats. He also embraces the combination of gizzard shad, emerald shiners and crawfish in addition to the alewives.
"I feel that the more variety in food and cover, the more options the angler has to find active fish at night," explains Brumbaugh. "If the lake has good populations of different bait, the puzzle may be a bit more complicated to figure out, but at least there is a good chance for a solution. Just don't make the mistake of staying in one spot too long simply because you think bass should be there. Keep moving until you make contact."
Tuned-in techniques
Although over 600 miles separate the home lakes of these two anglers, Brumbaugh and Duckworth have independently settled on similar presentations to catch smallmouth.
Brumbaugh starts off each night by fishing main lake flats with a spinnerbait. He makes his own 1/2-ounce tandem spinnerbaits with copper Colorado blades and a dark skirt.
"I focus on the weedbeds that grow around or immediately adjacent to stumps and small rockpiles," explains Brumbaugh. "The ideal situation is a weed patch that extends to a depth of about 12 or 15 feet, with a rockpile, row of stumps or an old gravel roadbed on the outside edge.
"I position the boat a short distance beyond the deep weed edge and cast shallower," continues Brumbaugh. "In most instances, there will be a 2- to 3-foot space between the tops of the weeds and the surface of the water. I retrieve the spinnerbait just fast enough so it does not sink into the vegetation. You've got to develop a sense of feel to keep the spinnerbait barely ticking the top weed strands."
When he reaches what he judges to be the weed edge, he slows the spinnerbait so it flutters downward. He continues slow rolling the bait a few more feet before reeling in quickly for another cast.
If unable to make connections with smallmouth after fishing several flats, Brumbaugh will move to a bluff area. Here he positions the boat much closer to the bank, because these shorelines fall quickly into deep water. Using the same tandem spinnerbait, he will slow roll it off the ledges, working the lure down to a depth of about 15 feet.
Brumbaugh's backup bait for the steep shorelines is a dark-colored 1/2-ounce jig with a rattle. He chooses either a Strike King Rattling Pro-Model Jig or a Stanley Rattlin' Flat Eye Jig. To this he adds a 4-inch Zoom Super Chunk, choosing this model because of vibrant-action legs compared to standard chunks.
Another favorite night bait is a 6- to 7-inch ribbontail worm on a 3/0 hook with a 1/4- or 3/8-ounce weight. Brumbaugh is partial to the Berkley Power Worm, but has success with other worms, too, as long as the bait has a swimming, ribbonlike tail.
"Since smallies may be very shallow on the walls at night, I cast the jig or worm right to the water's edge," explains Brumbaugh. "Let the bait fall straight down on a slack line. Once it touches bottom, take up slack line and pull the bait by lifting the rod tip a couple inches. Then hold the tip high until the jig or worm swims back to the bottom. I'll continue edging the bait down to about the 15-foot depth. That's the maximum depth I believe is necessary to fish after dark."
Practice stealth and finesse
"If smallmouth react negatively to boat traffic during the day, just imagine how they react to unnatural sounds at night, when the lake is so quiet," says Duckworth. To minimize making sounds in the boat, he recommends having extra rods rigged ahead of time and having everything in place. He also enforces a strict "no flashlight" rule, using only a small penlight for changing lures or landing fish.
Again based on information provided through telemetry studies, Duckworth has become a firm believer that depthfinders spook smallmouth. "No doubt about it. Sound emitted by depthfinders causes fish to move away. Therefore, I keep my depthfinders turned off at night. Study the area with the depthfinder before the sun goes down. Stealth is the key after dark."
Duckworth's two top lures are a Texas rigged Berkley Power Craw on a 1/0 XPoint wide gap hook with a 1/8-ounce sliding worm weight, and a 1/4-ounce Punisher Hair Jig. "This soft plastic crawfish rig works great for clients because it is very snag resistant. Plus, smallmouth will hold on to the Power Craw long enough for an inexperienced angler to detect the pickup and set the hook. I always go with a black or black/blue Power Craw."
However, Duckworth points out that the traditional bait for nighttime smallmouth in Central Tennessee is a hair jig. His pick, the Punisher Jig, is tied with a special craft hair that has more undulating action than similar products. Duckworth fishes the jig without a trailer. While recommending basic black to anglers, he admits the jig color on the end of his rod will likely be olive-green with a touch of orange.
"I'll start with perpendicular casts very tight to the bank, fishing the jig or craw very slowly with 3- to 6-inch movements. Work the bait to a depth of about 20 feet. Within an hour or so, I would hope to key in on the exact depth that smallmouth are feeding. As soon as that depth is established, I will position the boat so we can cast to that particular depth and fish parallel to the bank."
When fishing with experienced anglers, Duckworth works grassbeds with a spinnerbait, in much the same way that Brumbaugh does; by just ticking the tops of submerged vegetation. "Maintaining the right retrieve speed - not too fast and not too slow - can be tricky for novices." He uses a 3/4-ounce Terminator bait with Colorado blades and a black or blue skirt.
"On heavily fished clear water lakes, smallmouth are line-shy, even in the dark," says Duckworth. "I use only 6-pound-test Trilene XL on a spinning rod for hair jigs and craws. Because spinnerbaits will break off easily on 6-pound line, I'm forced to move up to 10-pound Berkley Sensation on a casting outfit - but absolutely nothing heavier. You can get away with a little heavier line when using a spinnerbait because the lure is moving steadily."
However, on lightly fished northern clear water lakes, Brumbaugh does not find it necessary to go to extremely light line. He uses 12- or 14-pound Original Stren Clear/Blue for both jigs and spinnerbaits. "I'm really concentrating on bumping individual stumps, climbing through branches of deadfalls and dragging over chunk rock. The lake bottom would eat up my lures if I went much lighter," notes Brumbaugh.
The need for a black light is a point of agreement for both anglers. Without one, many pickups would go unnoticed at night. Regardless of pound test, Brumbaugh and Duckworth use fluorescent line that will show up under the black light.

EPIC v. CBP (Analytical Framework for Intelligence)
This case arises out of an EPIC Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") request for records relating to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's ("CBP") Analytical Framework for Intelligence ("AFI"). CBP uses AFI to analyze personally identifiable information from a variety of sources, including government databases, commercial data brokers, and other Internet sources. These databases contain detailed personal information, subject to the Privacy Act, that are combined with secret, analytic tools to assign "risk assessments" to travelers, including U.S. citizens traveling solely within the United States.
EPIC pursued this FOIA request to make public the agency's use of personal information for automated profiling as well as the chilling effect of First Amendment protected activities. Both activities may violate the Federal Privacy Act; the disclosure of the documents sought by EPIC is of utmost importance to the public and Congressional oversight committees.
Top News
- Court Rules Secret Scoring of Teachers Unconstitutional: A federal district court has held that firing public school teachers based on the results of a secret algorithm is unconstitutional. The case, Houston Federation of Teachers vs. Houston Independent School District, concerned a commercial software company's proprietary appraisal system that was used to score teachers. Teachers could not correct their scores, independently reproduce their scores, or learn more than basic information about how the algorithm worked. "When a public agency adopts a policy of making high stakes employment decisions based on secret algorithms incompatible with minimum due process, the proper remedy is to overturn the policy," the court wrote. EPIC recently filed a complaint asking the FTC to stop the secret scoring of young tennis players. EPIC has pursued several cases on "Algorithmic Transparency," including one for rating travelers and another for assessing guilt or innocence. (Jun. 13, 2017)
- EPIC Appeals Passenger Profiling Case to DC Circuit: EPIC has appealed the ruling in EPIC v. CBP, case involving a controversial passenger screening program that combines detailed personal information with secret algorithms to assign "risk assessments" to travelers—including US citizens. EPIC sued the agency for information about the "Analytic Framework for Intelligence" under the Freedom of Information Act. As a consequence of the EPIC FOIA lawsuit, EPIC obtained important documents and prevailed in an earlier phase of the case. However, the federal court in Washington, DC declined last month to order the release of certain additional materials. EPIC is now asking the DC Circuit Court of Appeals to overrule the lower court's decision and compel the release of documents sought by EPIC. (Apr. 7, 2017) More top news »
According to the AFI Privacy Impact Assessment, the Agency maintains six categories of data, each of which contains personally identifiable information: DHS-owned data, other government agency data, information from commercial data aggregators, analyst-created data, analyst-provided data, and index information. AFI further "collects identity and imagery data from several commercial data aggregators. . . [to] cross-reference that information with the information contained in DHS-owned systems." AFI contains personally identifiable information including full name, address, age, gender, race, physical characteristics, marital status, residency status, country of citizenship, city and country of birth, date of birth, Social Security number, vehicle information, travel information, document information, passport information, law enforcement records, and familial and other contact information. AFI became operational in August 2012.
Some of the "DHS-owned" data within AFI comes from the Automated Targeting System ("ATS"). According to a 2012 Federal Register notice, in addition to the data amassed from ATS, CBP uses AFI to "provide AFI analysts with different tools that assist in detecting trends, patterns, and emerging threats, and in identifying non-obvious relationships." According to the agencies, DHS and CBP use individual information within ATS to make "risk assessments" on individuals that travel to, through, and from the United States or "other locations where CBP maintains an enforcement or operational presence by land, air, or sea." These risk assessments are assigned to U.S. citizens. CBP uses "Automated Targeting System" risk assessments to "signal to CBP officers that further inspection of a person, shipment, or conveyance may be warranted, even though an individual may not have been previously associated with a law enforcement action or otherwise be noted as a person of concern to law enforcement." CBP uses initial "risk-based" assessment matches and subsequent matches "to confirm continued official interest in the identified person."
CBP uses a variety of personally identifiable information within ATS to perform risk assessments, including name, address, Social Security number, gender, nationality, race, and biometric information. ATS also contains information generated by CBP, including "law enforcement or intelligence information regarding an individual" and "risk-based rules developed by analysts to assess and identify high-risk cargo, conveyances, or travelers that should be subject to further scrutiny or examination."
Individuals having information within ATS are not notified of their risk assessment because DHS has exempted ATS from the "notification, access, amendment, and certain accounting procedures of the Privacy Act[.]"
EPIC's Interest in AFI
EPIC has highlighted the problems inherent in passenger profiling systems like ATS and AFI in previous testimony and comments. In testimony before the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (more commonly known as "the 9/11 Commission"), EPIC President Marc Rotenberg explained, "there are specific problems with information technologies for monitoring, tracking, and profiling. The techniques are imprecise, they are subject to abuse, and they are invariably applied to purposes other than those originally intended."
The Automated Targeting System mines a vast amount of data to create a "risk assessment" on hundreds of millions of people per year, a label that will follow them for the rest of their lives.
EPIC has urged the suspension of the risk assessment system, arguing that the use of such factors as race and nationality in a government database is unconstitutional.
EPIC has a longstanding interest in algorithmic transparency and ending secret profiling of individuals.
EPIC's Freedom of Information Act Request
On April 8, 2014, EPIC submitted a FOIA request asking for:
(1) All AFI training modules, request forms, and similar final guidance documents that are used in, or will be used in, the operation of the program;
(2) Any records, memos, opinions, communications, or other documents that discuss potential or actual sources of information not currently held in DHS databases, or potential or actual uses of information not currently held in DHS databases;
(3) Any records, contracts, or other communications with commercial data aggregators regarding the AFI program; and
(4) The Privacy Compliance Report initiated in August 2013 by the DHS Privacy Office.

This research compared the effectiveness of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome prevention outreach in northwestern New Mexico, the Los Santos region of Panama, and Region Araucania IX in Chile. Outreach effectiveness for hantavirus is not well understood, even though outreach in Chile appears to be more extensive than in northwestern New Mexico and Panama. Understanding the role of human demographics, disease ecology, and subsequent human behavior in the disease process is critical to the examination of community responses in terms of behavior changes. Through the implementation of a self administered 28 question survey instrument (n=601), I measured attitudes towards, and across public health conditions with respect to hantavirus within three human populations of similar disease ecology and assessed whether knowledge and behavior change with respect to hantavirus is greater in high prevalence areas vs. low prevalence areas. Respondents in the high risk, rural poor sites in northwestern New Mexico and Panama sweep and vacuum more than respondents in Chile. In addition, respondents in Chile have a tendency engage more in proper cleaning methods such as disinfecting and mopping than those in northwestern New Mexico and Panama. However, levels of concern over contracting hantavirus were higher in New Mexico and Panama. This result indicates the public wants proper information on how to protect themselves and their families from exposure. While public health messages appear to be more effective in Chile, public outreach messages continue to affect positive and negative behavior in all three populations. Messages that encourage disinfecting and mopping as positive behavior and target both high-risk and low-risk populations are needed to decrease risk of exposure to Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome.

The following is an excerpt from the student anthology, "Blessed Journey" which was distributed at the ten-year anniversary of SCORR. The theme for that year was, "On Earth as it is in Heaven."
"Why did you feel the conference was necessary and specifically why did you start the conference?" were questions asked of me by a writer who was seeking information regarding the ten year anniversary of the Student Congress on Racial Reconciliation. "That's a huge question" I responded. The writer I was speaking to concurred. I was immediately faced with the many layers that comprised the reality we face as believers committed to the lifelong process of reconciliation. In other words, there were many layers latent in the answer to the question of why I felt the Student Congress on Racial Reconciliation to be necessary. I gave various items that validated the necessity of the conference such as students of color feeling isolated and marginalized in the Christian college/university context; the lack of diversity in students' curricular and co-curricular education; the need to facilitate student's ethnic identity development; the need to be ministered to holistically; the need to address the biblical basis for reconciliation; and the need to be equipped for a future in a diverse workforce. All of these topics are essential in our spiritual and educational development and are deserving of further attention as topics of discussion in verbal or written form. Much of these topics are sorely lacking in our education experience and thus, make the need for a SCORR conference even more of a pressing need.
The need is as great as it has ever been. It has been a long and challenging road. It has been both a joyous and painful journey. One thing seems to resonate as the years go by, the more I do the ministry of racial reconciliation, the more biblical it becomes. Obviously, the mandate to cross cultural borders and build people up across societal divisions always was and has been in the Bible; it's my awareness and understanding that keeps expanding. One major theme in this process is the centrality of the Kingdom of God. Paul writes in Colossians that we are "delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of the Son of His love" (Col. 1:13); Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount teaches us to "seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness" (Matt. 6:33). The Kingdom of God is both a present day reality as well as one that is to come. Hence, our theme for SCORR's ten-year anniversary comes from our Lord's instruction to us when He instructs us to pray in this manner, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed by Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matt. 6:9-10). Our "citizenship is in heaven," yet we function day to day here on earth. We are delivered from the kingdom of darkness and look forward to being in glory. In between these two realities, the Christian walks on this earth as a citizen of another world. How should we then live? What vision do we have as a result of this reality? A reminder of these biblical principles may be of help.
On Earth. We live in a fallen world where sin manifests itself by way of racism, sexism, classism and a host of other kinds of oppression. The peoples of the world are divided, nations rising up against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms. This world more than ever is in need of Jesus and a true witness from His Body. The sad reality is that the Christian church is among the most divided of institutions; 11:00 am on Sunday morning is still the most segregated hour of the week. Christian colleges/universities also lag behind in progress with secular universities regarding diversity efforts. This world is not our home, thus we should "pursue peace with all, and holiness without which no one will see the Lord" (Heb. 12:14).
In Heaven. Around the throne of God there is a multitude that has been redeemed to God, by the blood of Jesus, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation. They have been made kings and priests to their God (Rev. 4:9-10). Around the throne of God there is worship. There is no more oppression. God is exalted and around Him are people redeemed from all people groups, from all of humanity. God wipes away every tear from their eyes, no more death, or sorrow, or crying. No more pain. The former things have passed away (Rev. 21:4). No more thirst, only the fountain of the water of life (Rev. 21:6). The diversity of peoples in heaven will be incredible! Justice and peace will finally be realized. The Shalom of God will be the norm. All nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues will reign with Him forever.
On Earth as it is in Heaven. The kingdom of God was one of the major themes that Jesus taught during His earthly ministry. He often ministered to those who were marginalized. He purposely crossed social barriers (John 4:7-24). His was a message of liberation as well as salvation (Luke 4:18-19). For God's Kingdom to come "on earth as it is in heaven," the examples and teaching of the Lord Jesus must be active in our midst. The church is His Body and must be an active partner in His building of His kingdom. Just as Jesus was active in ministering to those marginalized, crossing social barriers and reconciling peoples at odds with one another, so should we as His Body. Though people may be oppressed and marginalized in this world, they should find refuge in the Body of Christ. Thus, the Kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of God should be in stark contrast. The building of God's kingdom necessitates the ministry of racial reconciliation. Hence, a multitude of diverse people should worship together more often. Ministries of social justice among the poor and oppressed should be appropriated alongside our evangelistic efforts. Christian colleges/universities should reflect a diverse and just climate manifested by our leadership, our faculty, our curriculum, and our development of students into kingdom citizens. May the world one day behold, by our witness, that the Kingdom of God is "righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Rom. 14:17).
Why is the Student Congress on Racial Reconciliation necessary? To equip students with vision and skills to build the Kingdom of God on earth. His Kingdom encompasses people of all ethnic backgrounds. His Kingdom is just. His Kingdom is where He rules. May we continue to grow in grace and in knowledge of our God. May we partner with Him in the expanding of His Kingdom. May we echo the prayer, "Your Kingdom come, on earth as it is in Heaven."

Ok, so we're a bit late today because—like a boss (or moron) I left my game previews for Bleacher Report until today.
For what it's worth, I have left the Packers until last (best for last? we can discuss).
Toronto was tremendous last weekend and the panel I was on—Moneyballs: Measurement and Analytics in Sports—was a big hit, though the Hockey panel beforehand was one of my favorites.
If you haven't seen it, and have about an hour, you can watch it below.
On to the regular football stuff from around the League.
RG3, Concussions and why we think NFL teams are full of crap
Because, we do, don't we?
Honestly, don't you look at any report on a player being 'fine' in regards to concussion with a raised eyebrow?
Does anyone feel really comfortable with Griffin back in the saddle this weekend outside of DC?
Doe anyone feel remotely OK with the news Jahvid Best could return to action in Week 7 or 8?
I don't. I don't trust teams on this. I heard Mike Golic talking about this on the 'Mike and Mike' morning show (yeah I know) and he seemed shocked anyone thinks there might be something untruthful in the Redskins getting RG3 back on the field.
I mean, it's not as if we haven't seen these things go wrong before, right? *coughColtMcCoycough*
There's another reason beyond, I don't know, past history, which makes us increasingly mistrustful of the NFL teams and their injuries.
For all the talk of protecting the 'shield' there is plenty the league office has smudged it with.
Bountygate continues to be an ever-deeper murky mess that has flipped me from strident advocate of to leery bystander. I mean at this point, every time they don't show me hard evidence I believe them less.
Also with all the talk of safer games, the product on the field got pretty damned dangerous when the replacement referees were out there.
More cheap shots and questionable acts took place on the field while the replacements were in there than the last few years combined.
Now, why did this happen? For the same reason the player lockout happened—to steal a Randy Moss phrase: straight cash homey.
We know this is a business and a bottom line one at that. But it increasingly seems as if even player safety only comes down to cost.
So we don't believe them because it is in their best financial interest to have their best players on the field.
Who sells more tickets: RG3 or Kirk Cousins?
It's not even close.
I'm not saying this is some sort of under-the-table evil dealings. It's not even conscious in all likelihood.
But if you think about why you didn't quite believe the RG3 reports almost right after the game saying he'd be fine—well maybe you're feeling a little of what I feel these days.
Every time the rookie or (when it inevitably happens on a desperate Lions team) Best take a hit I'm going to cringe.
They are grown men playing a grown man game—but sometimes grown men need to be saved from themselves.
I don't trust the owners to do it.
That's pretty much it for today. Sorry this is late, but that's what happens at times.
I'll do better next week—and likely bring Underrated/Overrated back as well.
Don't forget to come by the Hard Count Tuesday nights at 9:30 PM EST.

Looks like somebody took a crap in the gene pool, and those three are what came of it.
I don't know NC law, but in some places, that is all that is required for a charge of kidnapping.The thief walked into the restaurant at 1380 Fairgrove Church Road at about 6:30 p.m., pulled out a black handgun and ordered the 10 diners and employees into the office area of the building.State v. Wagner, 191 Wis. 2d 322, 528 N.W.2d 85 (Ct. App. 1995), the appeals court upheld a separate conviction for kidnapping. In Wagner, the defendant approached two women on two separate occasions in a laundromat. Both times, the defendant tried to force the women into a bathroom to rape them. He was convicted of two counts of attempted first-degree sexual assault, one count of kidnapping while armed, and one count of attempted kidnapping while armed. On appeal, he argued that he should not have been convicted of kidnapping because, under section 940.31(1)(a) of the Wisconsin Statutes, kidnapping is defined in part as the carrying of a person "from one place to another," and he had not taken his victims to another place. The court disagreed, holding that forced movement from one room to another falls within the meaning of the kidnapping statute. Ultimately, the appeals court affirmed the defendant's sentence of 72 years in prison.
I hope the armed kidnapping charge sticks...these geniuses won't be seeing daylight for years...

One of the situations when nobody got killed this time. That's good. When t o shoot or not to shoot is something I turn over a lot in my mind, as I think everyone on this board does. If I'm just sitting down eating and the guy does a rob and run, and I'm not immediately threatened, then in my mind my chances are better to just be a good witness.
The scariest part was when the robber herded everyone into the office. That's my trigger point. Even if he's got the drop on me, I'm figuring odds are we're moving to a different crime scene to be executed, so it's time to resist. Armed with a gun or not. (This is fiction, but that's what happened to the main character's son in "The Accidental Tourist" This story just reminded me of that).

RE: Mathematica stole my X so I had to kill it
That makes about twenty posts this week detailing nothing but problems
with Mathematica on Linux. The BEST thing we've heard was somebody's
opinion that it might be worthwhile to run a Kernel on Linux (but not
the FrontEnd).
That's more than enough bad news to talk me out of switching to Linux.
I had been really considering it.
-----Original Message-----
From: Steven [mailto:hattons at speakeasy.net]
To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net
Subject: [mg36975] [mg36912] Mathematica stole my X so I had to kill it
I'm running Mathematica 4.1 on SuSE Linux 8.0 with the KDE 3.0.3 and
XFree86 4.0.2.
I was trying to run one of the Mathematica Book -> Graphics Gallery ->
Animations -> Rolling Square. I don't recall the exact sequence of
I took. I believe I selected the cell with the square (the only cell in
the notebook) and from the menu, Cell -> Animate Selected Graphics.
resulted in a set of animation control buttons appearing in the bottom
frame of the window. I clicked on one of these buttons, but nothing
happened. I looke back in the menu and saw M-y as a keyboard shorcut to
run an animation. I tried that with no result. I clicked another
in graphics control set, and my X windows locked up. This included the
keyboard's ability to give me another display by using Ctl+Alt+F1. I
to another system and ssh-ed in and found Mathematica had over 50% of my
resources, and was climbing. The same was true for VM. I have a gig of
physical RAM. Once I killed Mathematica, my X came back to life.
I've had several bad experiences with Mathematica and X. I honestly
believe there
is/are bug(s) in the Linux implementation. I would very much like to
isolate and fix these. Have others had such problems?

Now it was worse than ever. Hailey had started to develop very early. She went right from T-shirts to the bra that her mother made her wear. To Hailey it seemed as if her breasts had sprouted almost overnight. One minute she was flat as a board and the next thing she knew she had these two little cone-shaped mounds forming high on her chest, right under her soft little nipples.
That was part of the problem, too. Every time Hailey jumped rope or ran, or even flew up or down the stairs her tiny nipples got all achy and puffy. The very tips got so hard she thought they were going to burst, and they stuck out from her puffy little tips almost like little pencil points. They weren't very big around, but they were surprisingly long. Wearing the bra didn't help very much, but at least she couldn't see her nipples in the mirror when she wore it, except when they got really hard and achy. Then even the little bra didn't stop them from poking through.
That problem had been going on for almost a month, now. And lately every time her tender nipples became agitated she felt a pressure down low in her tummy. For the past few days every time her nipples stiffened the pressure became greater, started sooner and lasted even longer. Lately it had been so bad that she thought she was going to pee, but when she went to the bathroom nothing happened and eventually the pressure mostly went away. Today it was the worst yet. Even the material of her bra was rubbing her little nipples so raw she felt like crying. She had already taken off her halter-top and bra. She stood half nude before her mirror. She could plainly see the angry redness of her nipples. Gone was the pale pink, replaced by the flaming tips and the redness that changed to dark pink at the very edges, just before returning to her normal flesh color. She was almost afraid of the sudden changes her little body was going through.
She touched one pointy little tip with her finger and gasped at the unfamiliar sensations that rushed through her. The tingly throbbing ache shot right down to her little pee-pee, causing her
to gasp and almost double over as the pressure returned harder than ever before. So hard and strong she almost lost her breath. She didn't know what to do. She thought something inside her
was broken. Certainly nothing she had ever experienced before had prepared her for the sensations that rushed through her thin frame. Now the pressure was so bad that she just had to do something
about it. She stripped off her tight shorts and spread her coltish legs. She ducked her head and curved herself over forward to look as closely as she could at her smooth little crease. Her little mound was all puffy and rosy red and completely hairless......(cont)

25 Years Ago
1988 – The Vandalia Volunteer Fire Department's rescue truck sustained major damage when it jumped into gear and rolled down an embankment after being called to a three-vehicle collision at the intersection of U.S. Route 51 and Van Tran Avenue.
Ramsey won the Egyptian-Illini Conference volleyball tournament. Shanin Whitten of Ramsey was named tournament MVP.
Beth Herrington and Cindy Harrison represented Vandalia Community High School at the IHSA state tennis tournament.
One day, while scanning microfilmed copies of what was described as "miscellaneous newspapers," images from The Bingham Agriculturist from Jan. 24, 1889, appeared on the screen.
This week's Mystery Banks Photo: This little boy, pictured 44 years ago, has lived in the Ramsey area all his life. He now farms.
In 1928, when James Monroe Jernigan Carroll was 96 years old, he sat down and composed a paper he titled, "A Brief History of the Carroll and Elam Families."
James Monroe Carroll was the oldest son of Raford and Sarah Jernigan Carroll. He was born Dec. 20, 1832, as recorded in the family Bible.
This week's Mystery Banks Photo: This young man, after serving in the military, worked in the agricultural products field in Fayette County. He still lives in the county.
1988 – The LaFayette Players presented "On Golden Pond." Todd and Barbara McKellar had the lead roles.
The Vandalia football team, trailing 20-0 at halftime, came back to shock Greenville, 42-41, in overtime. Brain Buscher caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Michael Whitten, and Whitten then hooked up with Jimmy Joe Pruett for the two-point conversion.
The Fayette County Board voted to discontinue providing housing for the Fayette County sheriff.
This past weekend, we were treated to a rare event – a military encampment and re-enactment.
The two-day "2013 Armed Forces Tribute," sponsored by Wildlands Outdoor Equipment Inc., owned by Mat Hanabarger, and the WWII Historical Re-enactment Society, Inc. (WHRS) was deemed by the sponsors and attendants alike a success.
This week's Mystery Banks Photo: This young man, pictured more than 30 years ago, grew up in Vandalia.

Don't Yuck My Yum
It's the best thing to say whenever anyone tries to shove their opinion on you. I hate it when I'm into something and someone comes over and starts yucking and making faces. I eat weird foods, like squid and tripe and bologna on bagels, so I get a lot of reactions like that. I used to take it personally and try to defend whatever it was; now I just smile and tell them to stop yucking my yum. I don't care if it sounds like something a six-year-old would say; it makes me laugh.

Family activities and Fireworks every Wed.on the beach Endless fun and activities await you all within a short walk. If you want to explore more, it's just a short drive to Atlantic City and Six Flags Great Adventure.
We came down to the shore for Memorial Day Weekend and had a great time! The house is so close to the beach and boardwalk, it was perfect! The house had everything we needed and we enjoyed the bonus of grilling out back. The location is just perfect and we look forward coming back!
This home was the perfect location ... located at the north end of the boardwalk/stores/rides area. It was great to come home quickly with the kids for meals ... the owner was very nice and handled all our concerns well. The kitchen was well stocked. Not the most luxurious place, but meets the basic needs of staying at the beach!
We came to Seaside to participate in the NJ Polar Plunge and wanted a place to dry off and warm-up. This house exceeded our expectations by far! It was much larger than it appeared and we had more than enough room to spread out and be comfortable. We haven't been to the shore since before Sandy, and we didn't know what to expect. We were so surprised to see all the businesses open in February! There were thousands of people who participated in the Polar Plunge and it was so good to see the boardwalk open and alive with business and activity! We loved the house so much and the location was so perfect, we are booking a week for this summer! We can't wait to come back when its warm!!
We had such a great time staying at this beach house we are booking another week for this summer! This house was perfect for us. We were 4 adults and 5 kids. We loved that there were two living areas so the kids could have their own space to hang out. But honestly, we weren't in the house often because everyone wanted to be out enjoying life down the shore! We loved being able to roll out of bed and be at the beach in less than 1 minute. I would walk over to the boardwalk with my morning coffee and just sit on the bench and watch the waves roll in. It was beautiful! We could easily walk home for lunch but it was such a short walk, we just took everything with us and stayed on the beach until the lifeguards went home. The outdoor shower was so refreshing after a sandy day at the beach. Then we would barbecue out back or walk down Boulevard to one of the many restaurants. Of course the kids wanted to be on the boardwalk every night and they never got tired of the arcades, rides and all the smells, sounds and excitement. Even though not everything was open since the storm, there was still plenty for us to do. We are so looking forward to this summer and to see even more of the businesses open. We are happy and proud to help the Jersey Shore recover!
We just loved staying at this beach house. It was in the best location, just steps to the beach and boardwalk and it had all the comforts of home. We had plenty of space to spread out between the enclosed front porch (which is really like another room in the house) and the family room. The bedrooms were a decent size for a shore house. But of course we spent most of our time on the beach and boardwalk. It was so close to the beach, we would go home to use the bathroom! The outdoor shower was so convenient for rinsing the sand off the kids and all their toys. Everything was within an easy walking distance including the waterpark. The owners allowed us to bring our dog which was very important to us. Even though Seaside doesn't allow dogs on the beach or boardwalk, there were plenty of places to walk her and we took her to the dog beach at Island Beach State Park a short ride up the road. As a matter of fact, that was the only time we had to use our car the whole week! There was so much for the kids as well as the adults right outside the door. The kids learned how to surf at the surf camp 2 blocks away and the adults enjoyed the live music at Hemmingways. One of the highlights of the week was the fireworks on the beach right at the end of our block! We had such a great time. The owners were very nice and accommodating and we had everything we needed for a great vacation. We will definitely stay here again!
We rented this property for a family vacation down the shore with our 3 children and two neices. The house was just perfect for us. We loved how close it was to the beach and the kids could walk to everything. They had a blast! We had plenty of room inside for the seven of us and we had everything we needed to feel at home for the week. The outside barbque was great for grilling and the kids loved using the outdoor shower. The house is in the perfect location. We only used our car once when we arrived to go food shopping and after that we just walked to the beach and on the boardwalk. it was the perfect vacation down the shore!
Just steps from the beach and boardwalk, you will not have a dull moment. There is swimming, surfing, boogie boarding, amusement rides, boardwalk shops restaurants and arcades. Tons of family activities plus weekly fireworks on the beach. Located in the quieter north end of town but still within easy walking distance of all the fun and activities. Breakwater water park is just a few blocks away.
Other Activities: surfing, boogie boarding, water parks

New name
Greater Manchester YMCA outgrows name
By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader | February 25. 2014 5:44PM
Hal Jordan, president and CEO of the YMCA, interacts with kids from the Beech Street School at the Y's after-school program in Manchester on Tuesday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
"We've grown far beyond the walls of greater Manchester," President and CEO Hal Jordan said Tuesday while touring the downtown Manchester location.
"It's so much more efficient than running separate Y's," Jordan said.
The umbrella organization has 25,000 members at five facilities and serves 35,000 people when counting those enrolled in child care and summer camp. The budget was nearly $12 million for the last full fiscal year, which ended last May 31.
In late 2011, the YMCA of Greater Manchester absorbed the YMCA of the Seacoast after merging with the YMCA of Strafford County in 1998.
The Strafford County location moved to a new building in January 2012.
After the merger, the combined Y organization had 395 members as of January 2012. Two years later, that had grown by 44 workers.
He said it's becoming a national trend of merging locations.
A membership for a family of four ranges from $38 to $72 a month, depending on the family's income.
The other facilities are the YMCA Allard Center in Goffstown and the YMCA of Greater Londonderry.
About 80 percent of its revenues come from membership and program fees. The rest come from contributions and grants.
He said the YMCA doesn't target the same clientele as area gyms.
Last year, the Granite YMCA provided financial help and/or free services to 18,773 people worth $1.6 million.

Game One Box | Game Two Box | Season Statistics
PITTSBURGH - The University of Pittsburgh softball team defeated Robert Morris 9-1 in five innings in the second game of a doubleheader to help the Panthers earn a split on Tuesday afternoon at Vartabedian Field.
Robert Morris (15-16) won the first contest by the score of 6-2, while the Panthers (12-15) won the second contest in mercy rule fashion, 9-1.
Carly Thea was 3-for-5 on the afternoon with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored. Reigning ACC Player of the Week Maggie Sevilla continued her hot hitting by also racking up a homer, three RBI and three runs. Sevilla has a team-high seven home runs this season.
Game One: Robert Morris 6, Pitt 2
Robert Morris put together four consecutive hits to open the game and took a 2-0 lead before an out was recorded. Pitt starting pitcher Savannah King gave way to Alexa Larkin who got the final three outs of the first and pitched the remainder of the game.
The Colonials added two more runs in the top of the second inning on a two-run homer to straight away center from RMU's leading hitter Tess Apke. The homer was her fifth of the season and it gave Robert Morris a 4-0 advantage.
After being held to one hit through the first three innings, the Panthers put up three hits in the fourth inning, including a two-run homer from Carly Thea which cut the RMU lead in half and made the score 4-2.
RMU added two insurance runs in the top of the sixth inning behind a two out rally. After Larkin got a fly out and a ground out, RMU put together back-to-back singles which was followed by a two RBI double from Samantha Santillo to left center field. That would be all the scoring in the game as RMU went on to win 6-2.
RMU pitcher Nicole Sleith threw a complete game five hitter and struck out four Panthers. Robert Morris outhit Pitt 13-5 in the contest.
Game Two: Pitt 9, Robert Morris 1 (Five Innings)
After Robert Morris manufactured a run in the top of the third inning for a 1-0 lead, Pitt responded with five runs in the home half of the third and four runs in the fourth en route to a five inning mercy rule victory.
Kathryn Duran started off the third inning with a double to left center and pinch runner Morgan Choe would come around to score on a Sevilla RBI single with the bases loaded. Thea would then follow that with another bases loaded single to give the Panthers a 2-1 lead.
With the bases still loaded, Carissa Throckmorton drew a walk for a 3-1 Pitt lead and the next batter was Katherine Kramer who hit a shot to the RMU shortstop who had the ball go through her glove as two more runs would score, making it 5-1 in favor of the Panthers.
Duran led off the fourth inning with a walk and would eventually come around to score on an RBI single from Tori Nirschl. Nirschl would trot home on Sevilla's no-doubter off the scoreboard to make the score 8-1, and the final run would be scored courtesy of an RBI double from Throckmorton which scored Thea.
Savannah King rebounded nicely in game two as she threw five strong innings and allowed just three hits and one run.
The Panthers travel to Chestnut Hill this weekend to take on Boston College in their second ACC road series of the season. Saturday's doubleheader is set for 1 p.m., while the Sunday finale is at Noon.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Stabenow Urges Women to Keep the Door Open
Praising civil rights icon Rosa Parks and suffragist Alice Paul, U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) told a Forum audience Friday that it was women like these who helped open the door for her to become Michigan's first female senator. She warned them, however, that this past work wasn't enough.
"I've always said it's great to be a first, but when you're the only one, you're a token," she said. "The challenge is to make sure there's a second, then a third, then a fourth, then a time when we no longer have to count."
Stabenow visited the Kennedy School to help kick off "Harvard Square to the Oval Office," a program sponsored by the Women and Public Policy Program (WAPPP) that trains female students from the Kennedy School to run for political office.
When asked by a student to name the biggest obstacle for women interested in running for elected office, Stabenow didn't hesitate: self confidence.
"It starts inside. The first thing is to believe in yourself and put yourself out there," she said. "Women tend to wait to be asked to run. Have confidence in yourself and be willing to lose. Be willing to take a risk."
After the election, she said, women still have to stay one step ahead. "When I first ran for state representative, I had a couple of male colleagues who were also running," she said. "They were dubbed 'young and upcoming.' I was dubbed 'young.' There's a very subtle difference."
In addition to addressing the issue of women in politics, Stabenow also spoke on the need for fair trade, the collapse of the manufacturing sector in the United States, and the lack of health care for all Americans — the latter issue being that one that inspired her political career.
"Healthcare is a crazy, crazy thing that is totally fixable," she said. "This is my driving force."

330-4 with a forward cant, there's a nice comfy spot
I didn't vote because it depends on the gun and my dress. I carry my Sig P229 mostly AIWB ~ 1:30, less often IWB @ 4 or OWB @ 4 , XD Service AIWB @ 1:30, 1911's ride @ 4-4:30, J frame off side pocket, shoulder rig on occasion too.
None of the above for me, as I OC cross draw, which puts the handgun at 9 o'clock. I'm right handed and I see no reason alarming a store clerk by reaching around a handgun for my cash. Also, while driving, a cross draw fashion is more comfortable while seated in a bucket seat. As an added bonus, with grip facing forward I feel safe among crowds as I can quickly cover the grip with my left elbow.
As always, with any poll.......YMMV.
LCR 3:30 - 4 , The auto Shoulder horizontal
I carry at 1 o'clock (appendix carry).
3:30 to 4 o'clock for me. Just more comfortable to carry there for either open or concealed.
between 6 and 7 O'clock here.
About 4:00 for me

Right about 830. Lefty here.
Can't even successfully scratch my nose with my right hand, so about 8:00 for me.

You're a Tool Box!
For the younger people on this forum, who struggle with having to go to school, I have a little message for ya! My Toolbox talk ! It's really not that bad. Read it with an open mind, and see what you think.
You are a toolbox !
Life has taught me one simple thing. Your a toolbox. Odd analogy, huh? But as a kid, going through school, you are but a toolbox. You start Kindergarten with a little Craftsman box with the handle on top. Every single class you take is a free tool that the taxpayers in your area, are GIVING you. English is a screwdriver, Math is an open end wrench, and so forth. These are all freebies ! If you chose to embrace the gift, and learn how to use it, it will be in your box forever. If you choose to ignore, or reject it, you will have to deal with the consequence. When you enter college (hopefully), those free tools will help you. Those "free" tools you rejected, you will now HAVE TO PAY FOR. When you graduate college, you have a huge roller cabinet of tools. Employers look for someone that has the tools and knows how to use them. (Unless they want you for grunt work,and then your expendable) The better the school, the better the tool. So the moral of this is, get all you can while its free. It just costs a little effort. Pay attention in school and the things "YOU'LL NEVER USE THAT IN REAL LIFE" will come to be quite useful. I wished I paid more attention back then !
Examples of "Stuff I'd NEVER USE"
Figuring radius's for rollbar fabrication. Tubing strength formulas to see what tubing will keep me alive without weighing 400 tons. Triangulating for strength, needing the angle to fishmouth the tubing. Calculating vehicle speed based on tire diameter,gearing,rpm, and drive ratio of transmission...... Besides, who's gonna count your money?
Funny thing about sponsors. They want you to be able to speak in the language that your nation speaks. The way you write a resume' speaks volumes about you. I review them often.
Social Studies:
This is a reach, but its history. The facts and figures that they dump on you may seem irrelevant. At some point in time, to argue your point effectively, you will need this mundane information to substantiate your claim. It also helps you form opinions and guides you on future journeys. "You won't make the same mistake twice". Plus it helps to know geography when you go on vacation!
Dude, you can't build a decent hot-rod without it. One word. Physics. Suspensions? Even earth science is helpful. Chemstry is what helps Top Fuelers get down the track faster. Flamespread of Nitromethane vs. pressure it can withstand without detonation.... NOS....need I go further?
There's a whole lot more examples, but I hope you see my point!
Empty Tool Box
great analogy Beenaway2long
well said
YOU'RE a tool box!
Re: You're a Tool Box!
Just from that post alone, your toolbox sounds far from empty..
Words of wisdom spoken from a man with A full SnapOn Range....
Now if you can only get one of them to listen to you then your goal has been achieved....:thumbup:
im listening :D i know it seems that my/your parents are just being mean, and to all you other kids my age also, but they have been there done that, ya they may not know exactly how things go for our generation but the basic rule is still the same, the more education you get the better off you will be, it took me a while to realize that but when i did was it sure was a wake up call. Also having the vast age range on this board helps with all aspects, you have people you respect telling you pretty much the same thing your parents are telling you but ypu listen better because you respect them. I duno if any of that made any sense but i know what im tryn to say i duno if it came out comprehensible to the others... :)
Awwwww gorshhhhhhh (Like Pluto says) Yer gonna make me blush,fellas!
I just want these guys to benefit from our experience. These up and coming hot rodders are a sharp bunch. Some may read and ignore, but at least their forewarned! Then ONE day, they'll say "that ole geriatric pain in the butt was right!" as their pushing me in my Flamed out wheelchair in the nursing home !
The ones that listened will be thanking me from Hawaii or Cancun (I hope) ! :thumbup:
I'll toast to that *clink* mugs of root beer of course :mwink:
You know even though I am 31 that was still inspiring as hell to me. I never dropped out of school when I was younger, but I thought about it alot. I am glad I didn't because I was the first guy on my dad's side of the family to graduate from high school and then to go on to college. It was a proud day fro my family to see that happen and made me proud as well. I am even in the middle of going back to school because I am changing careers.
I will definitely show that to my son. He is only 11 now, but something like that does not hurt to be shown to them no matter what age they are if they are old enough to understand it that is.
That is brilliant. :) If the gearheads don't get it who will?
That would make me a rusting toolbox.
That was an awesome post man. I seem to be missing a few items from my toolbox.
Anybody seen my 1/2 to 3/8 adapter and 1/4" ratchet?

The Skinny on the Skinny
We've recently added a new sweep shaft to our oar offerings: the Skinny. The Skinny was originally developed in collaboration with elite women crews looking for a softer feel, especially when using the Fat2 blade. As the name suggests, the Skinny has a narrower diameter than traditional sweep shafts, which also has other benefits such as reduced wind resistance, especially in headwind conditions.

So another Father's Day has come and will go without much real change in American society's attitudes toward fatherhood and men in general.First, the requisite admission: many fathers are bad models and many men are abusive, oppressive and stupid.Second, an obvious observation: our society doesn't help when the mass media portray men as stupid, silly, sinister and violent.

Some random thoughts on Father's Day
Conversion stories in recent fiction and film
Conversion stories in recent fiction and filmI'm usually reading or listening to three novels at the same time. By "at the same time" I mean concurrently, of course, not literally temporally. And, believe it or not, I occasionally watch a movie. In fact, movie-watching at home has become more frequent as television entertainment has become increasingly bland, boring or offensive.Maybe it's divine providence or just coincidence, but recently I've read (or listened to) some outstanding nove … [Read more...]
Thoughts about the terms "heresy" and "heretic"
The recent "dust up" over possible semi-Pelagianism among certain Baptists has given rise to the usual confusion about terms like "heresy" and "heretic." So let's clear things up a little (hopefully).What makes a belief "heresy?" Well, there's no easy answer to that unless it is within a church or denomination that has a formal magisterium. Such as the Roman Catholic Church. Some beliefs have been formally "anathematized" by a council or a pope. Then they are heresies. Somewhere, several … [Read more...]
Further thoughts on why "inerrancy" is problematic
Notice I put "inerrancy" in "scare quotes." That's to indicate that what I am talking about is the term, not precisely the concept. Or, to put it another way, my concern is that the term is used for many different concepts and therefore, without definition, is virtually meaningless.Now I am going to quote a leading evangelical theologian's definition of biblical inerrancy. I'm not revealing his name first; his identity as the definition's author is below it. I challenge you to read the … [Read more...]
What does "inerrancy" actually do?
What does "inerrancy" actually do?During this week's brouhaha over possible semi-Pelagianism among Southern Baptist theologians (see the previous two posts and the comments here), one response has stuck in my mind and given me reason to worry. It worries me more than the possibility of semi-Pelagianism in the ranks of the theologians.I confess that throughout this budding controversy I have occasionally broken a personal policy. Normally I do not go to other blogs to see what others are s … [Read more...]
Prevenient Grace: Why It Matters
Prevenient Grace: Why It MattersThis is a follow up to my earlier post regarding the statement of the traditional Southern Baptist view of salvation by certain Southern Baptist non-Calvinist, non-Arminian pastors and theologians. If you have not read that post, go back and read it before reading this one. Here I am picking up where I left off there and taking some comments subsequent to it into account.Also, here, I am not delving into the debate between Calvinists and Arminians over the … [Read more...]
Thoughts about "A Statement of the Traditional Southern Baptist Understanding of God's Plan of Salvation."
Thoughts about "A Statement of the Traditional Southern Baptist Understanding of God's Plan of Salvation."Recently a group of non-Calvinist Southern Baptists wrote and signed "A Statement of the Traditional Southern Baptist Understanding of God's Plan of Salvation." I certainly have no objection to a group of non-Calvinists pushing back against the tidal wave of Calvinism surging over contemporary evangelical and Baptist life in the U.S. (and other places).Let me say first that among the … [Read more...]

We do not "dislike" the up & coming versions/ models, we do really feel "At Home" with our 2013 CTS PREMIUM, although with only a couple hundred miles over 9K, it may or may not be too early to toot our horn or wish didn't purchase this vehicle.
This is our fifth Cadillac in 13 years, and all were different models from one another. This CTS Coupe was an upgrade from our 2011 Camaro RS. We are a longtime GM user and plan to stay that way. We looked at many different makes & models, but always came back to GM.

Today, it's been 3 years since I suckered Daddy into taking me out of my cage to play, resulting in my place as #1 Bull at Casa De Bull. 3 years of kisses for Mommy, and 3 years of kisses for Daddy. 3 years of Steak every time I go to Grandma's, and 3 years of Daddy playing 'Catch the Fluff' with me. Time has flown, that's fur sure!
Mom, Dad and I have had lots of adventures in the 3 years we've been together... I've been to Boston, New York, Pensylvania, Connecticut, Maryland.. I've gained 4 brothers and a sister, and lost one to cancer along the way. I've been a big brother to numerous fosters who have parked here for the night; amazing for a formerly dog aggressive dog. I'm no longer afraid of everything, and although the water bowl is still evil, it not longer deters me from drinking by myself.
I can't believe I'm 8 years young today.. I can't believe it's been 3 years!!!!
Mom, can I have my presents now?! And a steak, please...

Eons ago, vampires tried to turn the Dark Fae in order to harness their power. Instead, they created a demonic enemy more powerful than they dared to dream. Bent on enslaving the world, the Vampiric Fae have been quietly massing their strength for centuries. Now, Myst, queen of the Indigo Court, is rising again...and a long-prophesied war is brewing...
Born a witch, Cicely Waters can control the wind. When her Elemental warns her that her aunt and cousin are in danger, she packs her Pontiac GTO and returns home for the first time in twenty years. But the magical town of New Forest, Washington has changed. The Indigo Court holds the city in fear; people are vanishing, and strange deaths plague the town. Swept into an unexpected and passionate reunion with her trusted childhood friend Grieve, the Fae prince who taught her how to harness the wind, Cicely finds herself with a fierce and territorial lover. But Grieve has become enslaved by Myst's court, and now both lovers must walk a fine line to survive the machinations of the Vampiric Fae Queen. Caught between two evils, both vying for supremacy, Cicely must fight for her family and her future. As she discovers the hidden secrets to her own heritage, will she lose her soul in the process?
Cicely Waters grew up believing she was simply one of the magic-born-a witch who can control the wind-but when she returned home to New Forest, Washington, she discovered she was also one of the shifting Fae. Now she must perfect her gift. For Myst, Queen of the Indigo Court, has captured Grieve, the Fae prince who holds Cicely's heart. To save both her beloved Grieve and her friend Kaylin-whose demon is waking-Cicely must journey deep into the heart of the Indigo Court. But even as Cicely gathers strength, old alliances are breaking faith.
Cicely Waters, owl shifter and Wind Witch, has rescued the Fae Prince Grieve at a great cost. Their reunion has lost them the allegiance of the Summer Queen-and the tolerance of the vampires. In desperation they turn to the Consortium for help. Now, to regain the good will of Lainule, they must dare to enter the heart of Myst's realm. But as Cicely and Grieve embark on their search for the heartstone of Summer, Winter is already wreaking her terrifying revenge.

Karen Thompson Walker:
What fear can teach us
Imagine you're a shipwrecked sailor adrift in the enormous Pacific. You can choose one of three directions and save yourself and your shipmates — but each choice comes with a fearful consequence too. How do you choose? In telling the story of the whaleship Essex, novelist Karen Thompson Walker shows how fear propels imagination, as it forces us to imagine the possible futures and how to cope with them.

Duct sizing question
Background: My house is a very old (1852) two-story home, about 1100-1200 sf. I am adding central heat and air and retrofitting the house with ducts.
It's a 3 ton split system heat pump with the air handler in the attic. I began this project with someone who thought he knew exactly what he was doing. However we've run into issues with duct sizes.
On the supply side, is a 16" duct connecting to the air handler the proper size for a 3 ton unit? The main line that connects to the branches that serve the individual rooms is 8". What size should connect the two?
Any help would be appreciated.
did you buy a complete system ,duct to ?it depends the smaller the pipe the more noise it makes and the better chance of freeze up.whats the problems you have ?I'm in canada, rule of thumb is 400 cfm per ton ,now this varies in dfferent places .now using this rule of thumb you would need about 1200 cfm at your fan that would be about 1000 fpm in your main trunk .You want just over half that(fpm) in your runs .An 8" pipe is good for about 250 cfm@ just over 600fpm I dont really understand your last question ,but hear it is you should have a flex connector between the unit and the duct (if your buddy is a hack he'll try and talk you out of it :cool: :D )it doesent have to be used ,but it will reduce noise transfer.now you have 16x 12 duct?or bigger if it is insulated, the branches come off and the main trunk is made smaller to increase the preasure so it can travel further.8" runs makes me think your buddy is a comercial sheet metal guy ,or a refrige apprentace ?these branch runs arent insulated flex are they?If they are ,there equivalent to a smaller pipe diameter we are only aloud to use it to connect to the grill .if you have a large room ,you should really break it down to more 6" runs to difuse the air better .8" will work but it used more for office space (also more affordable)now this is based on 1200 cfm ,the unit you have is probably a variable speed to make it more versitile whats the return air layout?how many runs in tottal ?hope this helps

Hello everybody! I'm new to forums so please excuse any breaches of forum etiquette.
I'm trying to replace the wiper blades on my 2008 Honda CRV. I live in Rio de Janeiro but, I think, the car was actually imported from Mexico!! Anyway, on a recent trip to the states, I bought a set of Rain-x blades and although they snapped right in, the blade on the driver's side seems to be ill-positioned. Both the original blades have an offset so they connect parallel to but not at the same position as the holder arms.
Any ideas?
