Who were the Puritans?
"A loosely organized reform movement originating during the English Reformation of the sixteenth century. The name came from efforts to 'purify' the Church of England by those who felt that the Reformation had not yet been completed. Eventually the Puritans went on to attempt purification of the self and of society as well."(Mark Noll, "Puritanism", Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, 1984)

Amateur historians everywhere, take heart
"An honest professional job of any kind deserves equal respect; an honest amateur job merits a different and less searching appraisal. We hear to-day a good deal about the absurdities of minute research, especially in Ph.D. theses. An eminent scientist has condemned those who crawl upon the frontiers of knowledge with a magnifying glass. [Whoever that scientist was, you have to admit, he knew something about Ph.D. research. - HCR]. But what is wrong with taking a magnifying glass to the frontiers of knowledge? Surely that is precisely where it is needed. Perhaps one may want some man at times to stand up, gaze around, and look beyond; but unless they have taken an active part in the painful mapping of the advancing frontier, the visionaries are nothing but a menace. I have no patience ... with the common attitude of contempt for the young student who labours on what may seem a narrow or petty subject and attempts to master the techniques of study which it can teach, though I would agree that the mature scholar who still seems to be at that stage of interest raises one's doubts and hackles. Except for examiners, who are paid for it, no one needs to read Ph.D. dissertations, but those who flatter themselves that they can make a valid distinction between what is important and what merely superfluous in such enterprises, elevate personal taste to the level of a critical standard. Judging thus, they have no answer to those who sniff at their own splendid and ranging edifices because they think them unsound or (this can happen) tedious. Research work of this journeyman kind deserves to be judged by the only tests it seeks to satisfy: is it honest and exhaustive, has it asked questions that are right and adequate in the context of the problem, has it found reasonable answers, does it prove the author to have learned his trade? And much the same point applies beyond the stage of the Ph.D. dissertation. Good and bad work can be done at all stages of historical enterprise; and the standard of quality to apply must be defined as intellectual honesty and intellectual penetration within the compass of the problem investigated."

Creeds & Confessions
The good folks at reformation21 have just posted two excellent articles on creeds and confessions by two of my favorite church historians, Carl Trueman and Chad Van Dixhoorn.
In short, I regard creeds as important because they are documents approved by the church, or at least by particular churches, and thus have more status than the writings of any individual Christian; they generally represent in intention a desire to reflect consensus among Christians; their negative, boundary-setting thrust means that they leave room for discussion, disagreement and thoughtful theologizing, albeit within churchly limits; and they essentially focus on the real core doctrines. In sum, I might say that they give those of us who adhere to them a place to stand both doctrinally and historically, and thus to lay our views open for appropriate public scrutiny and challenge.
Van Dixhoorn provides a birds-eye view of of the Westminster Confession in his article, The Westminster Confession of Faith for Today. He argues that confessions are written for both the church and the world. For churches, they provide a summary of its core beliefs. For the world, "These doctrinal statements announce that this is a church that has beliefs and is willing to list the most important ones for all to see." He then concludes with these remarks about the WCF,
And so it is that chapter by chapter, the Westminster Confession of Faith traces with bold strokes the great history of our redemption. The sad realities of the fall, God's gracious covenants with man, the stunning announcement of salvation, and our sure hope of eternal life – all these are sketched out here in bold, but considered strokes. Who can read this text and not be warned that those who ignore the Holy Scripture are doomed to stumble through the world in darkness? And who can read this Confession and not see that those who embrace the true God, believe what he promises, and walk by his precepts, will never be without a guide or a light for this life? It is because of the clarity of this gospel message in all of its parts that the Westminster Confession of Faith finds itself in the first rank of great Christian creeds. Perhaps it is the wisest of creeds in its teaching and the finest in its doctrinal expression. Certainly it is a reliable guide to the Scriptures, which are the only guide to God. It is my hope that all who follow its directions will find their way to the Father's home, through the grace and mercy of the Son and by the power of his Holy Spirit.

A Puritan Prayer in Congregational Worship
I've just come across Bob Kauflin's hymn, O Great God, from Sovereign Grace Ministries. It is based on a prayer from The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotion.
It made me turn from research to prayer and worship. I think it has all the marks of an excellent congregational hymn. There is good theology in it, the music expresses the sense of the lyrics well and is appropriately composed for congregational use. Its striking quality is not the depth of theological expression as one may find in say Charitie Bancroft's Before the Throne of God Above, but rather the honesty and inevitable posture of humility that one is led into in its use. The first verse goes:
O great God of highest heaven
Occupy my lowly heart
Own it all and reign supreme
Conquer every rebel power
Let no vice or sin remain
That resists Your holy war
You have loved and purchased me
Make me Yours forevermore
Click here to listen to how it's sung and here for the other verses. What do you think?

On Austerity: Some "Very Serious" Thoughts
To my knowledge, I have never been accused of being an overly serious person. That has always been fine with me. But when I started to spend a lot of time reading books by puritans and about puritans, a little comparison was unavoidable. When any of us rip our eyes from the television long enough to cast them in an historical direction, these men stand as early-rising, prayer-closet-sitting, eloquent pillars of passion and proclamation. Owen, Perkins, Flavel, Goodwin, Rutherford, Sibbes, Edwards – the names alone conjure images of exalted collars and chiseled faces. Their lives, often riddled with acute suffering, only add weight to our reading of their meticulous theology. These were not hollow men. Very little shadow fell between theoretical and applied piety.
Enter, Tim Bridges. I laugh at The Simpsons and have been known to spend more than a fleeting moment contemplating the sheer joy of cookies. Is my study of these men destined be an endless parade of examples by whom I am utterly put to shame? When unguarded after a few hours of reading, I grit my teeth and decide to memorize Jonathan Edwards' Resolutions so that I can refer to them the next time I am called on to pray at a gathering: "Oh, Lord, thank you that I am resolved to…" I revolutionize my 'visitation schedule' so I can read Richard Baxter with a sense of proud camaraderie. I write a short story so Bunyan will be no stumbling block for me. I learn to articulate the 'L' in TULIP so I can look Owen in the eye without blinking. Above all, I learn to behave in such a way that people count me among the austere. Ah, a puritan at last.
There is a danger of falling so in love with the behaviors of Puritans, that we fail to see the God by whom the puritans were enraptured. Put a slightly different way, there is a difference between someone who is austere because they take God seriously and someone who is austere because they take themselves too seriously. For one, austerity is a byproduct of a far grander pursuit. For the other, austerity is sadly an end in itself. Often these two people use the same language, read the same books, and listen to the same sermons. Their view of God could not be more different, however.
I certainly profit from the example of the puritans. I value the model of discipline they provide for us. On the other hand, I have found that the more I focus on their 'disciplines' the smaller God seems to me. When wrongly approached, the disciplines have also been a source of pride for me. After all, it is possible to tell no one of my fasting and praying and still report it to myself hourly. Conversely, the more I think on the grandeur and glory of the puritan's God, the more their disciplines become welcome friends that allow me to better know Him. When I read a truly astounding puritan example, I now try (and often fail) to ask, "What about God made him that way?" What attribute of God inspired Baxter to so feverishly attend to his pastoral duties? Who was God to John Owen? Who is the Christ who so enthralled Samuel Rutherford that he could write, "In a word, I am a fool, and He is God. I will hold my peace hereafter"[1] and "Welcome the cross if Christ be with it."[2] What in God's character produced the puritan character? If I search the Scriptures to answer these questions I can be a joyful imitator of God, not just a serious impersonator of men.

From x-rays and mercury-based amalgam fillings to fluoride treatments and tooth bleaching, the dental industry is rife with potential health hazards, yet few patients are properly informed of the potential risks of their treatments, and some dentists still believe the risks are low enough not to warrant any explanations.
Yet any member of the Eco-Dentistry Association (EDA) would disagree. This is a growing network of dentists and oral surgeons across North America and Europe embracing sustainability, prevention and minimally invasive, patient-friendly technologies in their dental practices. The EDA fosters this philosophy by supplying the network with resources to reduce waste, pollution, water and energy consumption and to facilitate green dentistry and healthier patient care.
But what exactly sparked the rise of the eco-dentistry movement? And should you start looking for an holistic dentist?
X Rays: What's Acceptable?
In the matter of intraoral x-rays, different speeds of film can be used: the higher the speed, the lower the dose of radiation. But many dentists complain about the higher-speed film's cost and image readability, so they opt for lower-speed film, exposing the patient to more radiation. But how much radiation do you get from such an x-ray? A typical dental x-ray exposes a patient to half as much radiation as does a flight from New York to Los Angeles. Many familiar things emit doses of radiation that fall within acceptable limits: smoke detectors, natural gas stoves, even our own bodies contain tiny amounts of radioactivity(1). So why does the dental assistant leave you alone in the room with the radiation when she takes the image?
Evidence suggests a link between brain tumours and bite wing x-rays. When patients get these done once a year, their risk of developing a brain tumour can increase up to 90%! But risks for other types of cancer also increase, including saliva gland cancer, thyroid cancer and even breast cancer.
Silver Lining to Silver Fillings?
Yet another serious concern about dentistry is the use of amalgam fillings. Popularly referred to as "silver fillings," they actually are composed of about 50% mercury, which is a dangerous neurotoxin and environmental contaminant. Sweden, Norway and Denmark have banned amalgam due to ecological concerns, while Sweden also cited human health concerns. On the other hand, the American Dental Association (ADA) displays an almost perverse preference for amalgam, to the point where it helped licensing boards strip licenses from dentists who told patients amalgam equals mercury. No surprise, perhaps, as the ADA once was a patent-holder of amalgam(2).
Elsewhere, most dentists don't place mercury amalgam fillings any more—composite resin is the new preference—but they continue to remove them from people who don't want mercury in their mouth. Ironically, these offices generate more mercury waste than offices that place the amalgam fillings, up to three pounds annually(3). The removal process releases more mercury vapours in the patient's mouth, but a rubber dental dam installed in the mouth will prevent ingestion of the vapours into the lungs.
Proper disposal of removed amalgam is equally important. The EDA recommends an amalgam separator, which extracts the mercury before expelling the amalgam waste into the water supply. Still, too few American dentists are practicing safe disposal techniques. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 50% of the mercury entering US wastewater treatment plants comes from dental offices(4).
Fluoride: Friend or Foe?
Dentistry's biggest argument-starter might be its use of fluoride, in the water system and to a lesser extent in toothpaste and mouthwash. Studies show it fights tooth decay, and many people and organizations stand behind this claim, including the EDA(4). But evidence seems to be mounting of a dark side to fluoridation, apart from the mottling of teeth known as dental fluorosis. Fluoride may cause cancer, a weakening of bones, problems with kidneys, thyroid, immune system, even a lowering of intelligence(5)(6). Most of Continental Europe has stopped water fluoridation programs. The EDA's advice for those who are wary of fluoride may be most telling: If you brush and floss and get your teeth checked regularly, fluoride can't help.
Sealants and Cancer
Finally, organic dentists are also questioning the safety of dental sealants and resins. Sealants, which are usually applied to back teeth as barriers against decay-causing bacteria, are under fire because they may leach bisphenol-A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor. Endocrine disruptors have been linked to declining sperm counts and increased cancer rates in humans.
The controversy began with a University of Granada study, published in Environmental Health Perspectives in 1996, which found that BPA had leached into patients' saliva shortly after dental sealant application. In response to this study, the ADA tested the 12 brands of sealants that carry its seal of acceptance and found that 11 of them leached no detectable BPA; they contacted the manufacturer of the twelfth, who implemented additional quality control procedures and whose product then leached no detectable BPA in subsequent testing. However, many experts say much more research is needed before it can be concluded what kinds of sealants leach BPA, and whether BPA can be absorbed from saliva at harmful levels. Still, we don't like the idea of having a carcinogen permanently in our mouths, whether it leaches out or not!
Root Canals: Not a Good Idea
"You need a root canal" is now almost as common as hearing you need a filling – 60m are performed around the world each year. Dentists will tell you it's the only way to keep a diseased tooth. Yet – why would you want to keep something dead and diseased in your mouth? And just how safe are root canals? What is the science behind their being a non–toxic alternative to tooth extractions?
These questions are not new. Indeed, way back in the early 1900s, one Dr. Weston Price and the Mayo Clinic described finding bacterial growth in root canals that could be transferred into animals and create the same diseases the donor human had in from 80 to 100 percent of the animals. Heart disease, in particular, could be transferred 100 percent of the time. This research has since been suppressed by the various Dental Associations in the United States.
The Toxic Element Research Foundation (TERF), using state of the art DNA testing technology, identified multiple pathological bacteria found within root canal teeth, the bone adjacent to the teeth, and even more in extraction sites where proper healing has not taken place. This occurs in greater than 99 percent of wisdom tooth extraction sites.
Dr. Weston Price's death-bed wish was for someone to pick up his hard earned baton and make this information available to the public. Some medics, like Dr Mercola, have spoken out on how toxic root canals really are. The question now becomes: What will patients, government agencies and the dental profession do about it?
The Bottom Line
The potential health risks of some types of dental treatment are undeniable. Surely there are better options? Be sure to weigh the risk of the treatment you are told you need with the potential benefits. Meanwhile, let's hope the EDA network continues what is already an impressive expansion, working to raise eco-consciousness in dental offices around the world o promote patient health with safer diagnostic and treatment methods. Then we all can smile wide.

As homeowners, we might find ourselves encountering several problems in our home. For instance, we usually face a leaky ceiling or an issue with the propane brewing burner. Usually, these problems are fixable by ourselves or with the help of the man in the house. However, if the problem is beyond our grasp, it might be time for us to call for a handyman.
What is a handyman?
Basically, a handyman is someone who deals with problems in the house that concern wiring, plumbing, carpentry, gardening, construction etc. Usually, handyman services charge hourly rates. A handyman may have had professional training or self-training and oftentimes, they finish the list of jobs in just one visit. Depending on the state, handymen often carry a license with them.
What are the services?
The entire list is not applicable to all handymen but most of these services are some of what these handymen offer:
- Painting – Small painting jobs may be done by a handyman. Painting a garage, a room or a door are some of these short-time projects.
- Plumbing – Handymen may also handle some minor plumbing work such as fixing a leaky faucet or installing a fixture.
- Light – Installation of light fixtures and replacing light bulbs are also a part of their services.
- Mounting on walls – Handling pictures, window ornaments and wall decorations are some things a homeowner may be able to do but it is always safer to go for someone with the right tools to avoid errors and accidents.
- Cleaning – Works that involve getting dirty such as cleaning the gutter on the roof is also something that a handyman may be able to take care of.
- Repair – Besides cleaning the gutter, they may also repair it among other things. Repairing may involve repairs for other things such as lamps, lights, drywall, wall, septic system, windows, doors, floor, roof, tiles, etc.
- Replacing – For worn out or broken boards, a handyman may be able to replace those for your porch or deck; they may also apply sealants to improve the quality.
- Installations – Installations of tiles, flooring, insulation, a sprinkler system, a shelf, a patio, etc. are also done by handymen.
- Removal – Handymen may also take care of trash removal, removal of paint, removal of furniture and wall decors, removal of stains and even removal of junk and wastes.
- Construction – Even the construction of a garage or a storage area can be done by a handyman as well.
Basically, a handyman will handle almost everything in a house that needs any repair, removal, construction, cleaning and remodeling. However, in hiring a handyman, always make sure that they are licensed. This will ensure reliability and trustworthiness which is truly important since these days, there have been many instances of handymen who turned out to be scammers in the end. Hiring a handyman will mean giving them access inside your home and this is why you must be extra careful in choosing who to call. For those of you who are in need of their services, you might want to start looking up "handyman near me".

This is my first pregnancy and was a total shock. The father and I had only been intimate for a month and I've had pretty serious PCOS since I was 13. I wasn't on metformin or anything for my PCOS so the chances of me getting pregnant in one month were extremely slim. I'm worried about miscarrying and other problems, but over all we're both really happy. We've both always wanted a family so we just decided that this is our chance to get started. Still scary, though!

FORT WORTH, Texas - Despite having the fastest car in qualifying, Ryan Newman is going to have to race from the rear of the field in Sunday's NASCAR Nextel Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway.
Newman's first qualifying lap of 192.947 mph Friday on the 11/2-mile Texas oval was easily fast enough to beat runner-up Jeff Gordon's 192.397.
When Newman began his run, Matt Kenseth was on top of the speed chart with a lap of 191.966. Newman's first lap was much quicker, but NASCAR's leading qualifier didn't realize it and kept the gas pedal in his No. 12 Penske Racing South Dodge planted firmly on the floor for a second lap.
The Rocketman didn't make it to the checkered flag, crashing hard heading into turn four when the right front tire on his speeding car went flat, sending sparks flying and the car skidding straight up the banking into the concrete barrier.
Newman, tied with Carl Edwards for fourth in the season standings and trailing leader Tony Stewart by 107 points with three races remaining in the 10-race Chase for the championship, needs a big day Sunday. But, now, he will have to start from the rear of the 43-car field in a backup car.
"I'm not sure what happened," Newman said, shrugging off the tough luck. "It was a great lap for our team. We picked up speed (from practice) and were doing the right things. Something just happened and the tire went down. It could have been cut or we could have run over something. I don't know."
Four-time series champion Gordon sounded a bit in awe when asked about Newman's spectacular qualifying, which has produced eight poles this season and 35 in his brief career.
"They've found something for qualifying that just doesn't exist for anybody else," Gordon said. "But yet they don't seem to have it for the race, which is interesting to me."
Newman, who has won just once this season, noted that there is still too much racing remaining to count him or any of the top five or six drivers in the points out of title contention.
"We'd like to be No. 1 with a 150-point lead right now, but that's racing," Newman said.
Drivers eye the new golf playoffs
The NASCAR Nextel Cup Series was amused by golf's idea this week to develop a Chase for the Championship-like playoff system.
The PGA Tour announced this week it intends to create a special tournament-within-a-tournament at the end of the season with hopes of generating interest in the sport during football season.
"Maybe it will work, but they still need to build some sort of passion around their players," said Busch Series driver T.J. Bell. "Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh - who else is out there? Guys like Tony Stewart - fans might love him or pull against him - but no fan is ambivalent."
This and that
Richard Childress Racing will swap crew chiefs for the rest of the year to get a jump on the 2006 season. Scott Miller will move over from the No. 07 car to Jeff Burton's No. 31, while Kevin Hamlin will go from the 31 to 07, which will be driven by Clint Bowyer next season. ... Ford signed a 10-year contract to sponsor the season-ending races for the Craftsman Truck, Busch and Nextel Cup series at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Unanswered: Too many numbers after the decimal when calculating Average. Can you Help?
Hello. This is my first poat here, how are you guys?
My question today is how can I calculate the average of Number Values stored in a field returning only results containing 1 decimal after the number?
Here's what I got for a query:

SELECT Round(Avg(Quality.QScore),1) AS AverageTeamQuality FROM Quality;
That should round your example to 67.7

Separate the requirements for the data handling and the presentation
You can use round(<number>,<decimalplaces to control the rounding
you can control the neimber of decimals in a form by setting the format of the control (by altering the properties) to 'fixed' and the number of decimal as required.

The Blue Oval is readying its 2011 Ford Explorer for release later this year, and is packing the new vehicle with the latest engines for improved efficiency, new inflatable rear seat-belts for passenger safety, and something new called "curve control" for added stability. The new technology is built upon the 2011 Ford Explorer's existing Roll Stability Control and Electronic Stability Control systems. Sensors help monitor what the vehicle is doing, while driver inputs are monitored to determine what the driver is wanting the vehicle to do through specifically wide turns.
Curve Control sensors check 100 times per second to determine if the vehicle is under control. If the sensors determine the vehicle is trying to negotiate a turn too quickly, the Curve Control system helps aid the driver in properly maneuvering the vehicle to keep it under control.
The system can slow the Explorer down by 10 mph in just one second by reducing engine torque and aggressively applying the brakes to all four wheels. However, if the driver wants to override the system, all he or she has to do is either apply the brakes or the gas.
Ford will be launching this technology in the 2011 Ford Explorer due later this year. Customers should expect Ford to add Curve Control to 90 percent of its trucks, vans, SUVs and CUVs by 2015, and eventually expanding the technology to its cars as well.

Indexes Point to Accelerated Economic Recovery in Israel
The Bank of Israel's composite state-of-the-economy index rose by 0.2% in February, the central bank's research department revealed Friday.
"The increase in the index, following gains in recent months, indicates economic activity is still recovering," the Bank of Israel said in a statement.
The research department also corrected upward the composite indexes for the previous three months. The revision lifted the November 2009 index from 0.3% to 0.5%, the December index from 0.3% to 0.6% and the January index from 0.2% to 0.3%.
The researchers attributed February's increase to improvements in the imports, industrial production, services exports and the commercial and services productivity indexes. The goods exports index fell, however, pushing the composite index down slightly.
The Melnick State of the Economy Index increased by 1% in February. The index is named for Prof. Rafi Melnick of Herzliya's Interdisciplinary Center, who said rapid increases in business activity had pushed the index upward. In particular, he noted the commerce and services revenue index had increased sharply. That, Melnick said, implies domestic demand in general and private consumption in particular have expanded.
"At this stage, only the slow global recovery is stopping Israel's economy from growing at an even higher rate," Melnick said.

While saying Aaron Rodgers feels ready to play, coach Mike McCarthy said it was tough to break the news to him that he wouldn't be taking snaps on Sunday.
"Hey, it's not the easiest thing to sit there and tell your franchise quarterback he can't play in the game when he wants to play in the game," McCarthy said after practice Friday. "This is clearly a decision that's made in the best interest of Aaron Rodgers."
Rodgers has been sidelined since he broke collarbone early in Green Bay's loss to the Chicago Bears on Nov. 4.
Rodgers practiced on a limited basis this week and even took some reps with the first-string offense in team drills Wednesday and Thursday.
But still not enough to apparently sway the decision to have him play in a critical game for the Packers. This will be the sixth consecutive game Rodgers misses.
"Frankly, it's been a difficult morning going through the conversation with Aaron and (team) doctor (Pat) McKenzie," McCarthy said.
Matt Flynn will make his third consecutive start in place of Rodgers as the Packers (6-6-1) try to stay in contention for the NFC North title with three games left. They are a half-game behind division co-leaders Detroit and Chicago, both 7-6.
FALCONS: Have ruled out safety Thomas DeCoud for Sunday's game against Washington.
DeCoud missed practice all week after leaving last week's game at Green Bay with a concussion. Rookie Zeke Motta is expected to make his first start against the Redskins.
VIKINGS: Adrian Peterson is again proving his amazing recuperative powers.
Peterson returned to practice Friday with a sprained right foot, but his status for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles is questionable.
JAGUARS: Will likely be without starting running back Maurice Jones-Drew (strained hamstring) and strong safety Johnathan Cyprien (thigh injury) on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
Both players were listed as doubtful Friday because of injuries.
• The team released veteran defensive end Jeremy Mincey on Friday after he was late for another meeting.
FINES: Denver linebacker Von Miller was fined $25,000 by the league on Friday for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
• Cowboys defensive back Orlando Scandrick was fined $21,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Chicago's Brandon Marshall.
Marshall was docked $15,000 for wearing non-approved orange cleats during the Bears' win over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. He was also fined for the same thing in October.
• Dallas' George Selvie, Baltimore's Courtney Upshaw and Buffalo's Jairus Byrd were each fined $15,750 for roughing the passer.
• Pittsburgh center Cody Wallace was fined $7,875 for unnecessary roughness – for repeatedly poking Miami's Randy Starks in the backside with his left fist, trying to make the defensive tackle cough up a fumble he just recovered.

Yellowstone... sorry I couldn't resist.
Yellowstone... sorry I couldn't resist.
I guess the first question is where would you be coming from (which state)? Which part of the state you want to hunt?
I dont care what part of the state, just looking for an area with good bear numbers.
Phelps, I'm planning on doing my first spot and stalk bear hunt in WY this year as well. The WY G&F has the numbers of bears harvested in each area available on their website. Here is a link to the 2009 numbers. The Green River area has the most bears harvested and that is where I will be hunting. I guess you have to take into account the number of hunters and the size of the area as well but since this is right where I live I'm going to give it a shot. Good luck with your hunt, hope this helps.
Are you planning on bow or rifle hunting?
Last edited by elktracker; 04-01-2011 at 10:00 PM.
I wont be able to make it out there until late may, but plan on taking my bow and rifle. Thanks for the help. I have a hard time finding info on the WY game and fish web site, espically on bears.
Most years some of the qoutas are filled by the end of May. I would consider Mid May although there seems to be alot more snow this year, end of May might be the ticket. Hunted the Hoback area in years past, lots of bears.
Sorry to bring back an older thread but do the WY wilderness laws remain in effect for NR hunters in the spring?
Scott, the Wyoming Game and Fish regs state that all non-residents must be guided by an outfitter inside wilderness boundaries. To my knowledge that is regardless of season.
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. ~Colossians 2:8~

Recently, I have heard the question asked, [tweet_dis]"what is sex addiction?"[/tweet_dis] This question brings up a point about what behaviors can be descriptive of a sex addict. I think Marnie Ferree explains it very well as she describes sex addiction as an "umbrella term" in her book "No Stones, Women Redeemed From Sexual Addiction". Just as alcoholism has many different drinks of choice, sex addiction has many different ways of involvement as well. See the below illustration as it depicts the many different behaviors of a sex addict. Some addicts may participate in one or several of the mentioned activities and some may even have a unique way of acting out their addiction that is not listed here.
Sex addiction is not simply the behavior but the behavior combined with the several of the elements such as:

These days, we live in a world where clothes are generally mass-produced, and designed for a body type that rarely seems to exist in reality. In years gone by women made their own clothes, based on their own measurements. These days we have to make do with a 'one size fits all' in terms of the shape or silhouette of items of clothing and larger (or even average) busts seem not to be accomodated.
These are precisely the sorts of frustrations that award-winning entrepreneur Nikki Hesford (whom you may have seen on Dragons Den last year with her previous company BigBraBar) intended to tackle when she set up 'Made In Preston', which makes 'fitted fashion for bigger boobs', all designed, produced and packaged in Preston. All of their clothes are made from start to finish by their skilled machinists, and sizes run from a size 6 to a 16 with each dress size then having three further size options depending on bra size, up to a J cup. I don't know where to begin with the reasons why I love Made in Preston, from Nikki's personal journey to being an amazing businesswoman and the work she does volunteering, mentoring and speaking about entrepreneurship, to the fact that the brand helps local unemployed people and is committed to keeping skills and jobs in the local area. It's a really good feeling to know that you're supporting a brand with so many commendable values.
With their clothes being so bespoke, and produced in Britain, you might think that the price points would be higher, but they're actually incredible reasonable, with all current stock between £35 - £45. They have some really lovely items - their Aztec Playsuit is going on my wishlist!
I was kindly sent the black peplum, silver panelled dress (£45) to review and I'm thrilled to bits with what they picked (and made!) for me. The pictures really don't do it justice (apologies for my grumpy face in the second one!) It fits like a glove and felt amazing to have a dress that goes in and out in all the right places!

More and more Dutch are spending short holidays and taking day trips in their own country.14 January 2008
UTRECHT – More and more Dutch are spending short holidays and taking day trips in their own country. The survey among visitors to the Holiday Fair 2008 conducted by trade fair organisation VNU Exhibitions shows an increase in the number of people who plan to stay in the Netherlands for their holidays: from 43 percent last year to 54 percent this year.
The organisation of the fair announced this on Sunday.
The Dutch still to prefer to spend their longest holiday each year abroad: 51 percent travel to a destination somewhere in Europe, 47 percent go further afield.
Only 2 percent spend their longest vacation each year in the Netherlands. 86 percent of those asked said they go on holiday two or more times each year. That is considerably more than last year, when only 75 percent took two or more holidays.
The five-day Holiday Fair drew 135,000 visitors this last weekend, somewhat fewer than last year, when 138,000 attended the fair.
Fewer survey respondents than last year said they planned to use the internet to plan their trip this year. 22 percent will do so, compared to 33 percent last year.
The most popular holiday destinations continued to be France and Italy, Greece rose several positions on the list to third place.
Scandinavia came in fourth place, and Spain fifth. Eastern Europe, which came in third place last year, has disappeared from the top 5, as has Germany.
Unusual holiday destinations like Rwanda, Colombia and Moldavia held stands at the fair this year, along with first time participants Macedonia, Armenia and Georgia.
"There is an incredible amount of interest in these holiday destinations," said a spokesperson. "It is not the case however that thousands of people are going to immediately book trips to these destinations. It is the pioneers who are asking for information at the moment."

Jan. 24: In an incident that could trigger another Kakopathar-like situation, two persons were killed and another was critically injured when Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel opened fire near an ONGC installation at Geleky in Sivasagar district late last night.
Nilikesh Gogoi and Bulu Gogoi were returning to Geleky from Anaki-C village in neighbouring Mokok-chung district of Nagaland on their motorcycle when the incident occurred. Their companion, Arup Saikia, travelling on another two-wheeler, was injured in the incident.
Admitting to the exchange of fire, CISF spokesman Vartul Sen said the duo had been asked to stop at a CISF checkpost. When they failed to do so, the jawans opened fire.
Sen clarified that the force had been deployed to protect ONGC projects in the area and was not involved in counter-insurgency operations.
The Assam government has ordered a judicial inquiry and also declared Rs 5 lakh as compensation for the next of kin of the deceased. The injured Saikia is undergoing treatment at Assam Medical College Hospital in Dibrugarh.
A statement issued by the government quoted chief minister Tarun Gogoi as expressing concern over the deaths and promising stern action.
An officer at the Geleky police station said CISF personnel stationed at the ONGC gas gathering station (GGS) number 2 allegedly tried to stop the two motorcycles on which the three were travelling. But the occupants of the motorcycle allegedly fired at them. In the return fire two persons died while another was injured.
A case has been registered at Geleky police station and Padum Bora, the CISF jawan who had allegedly fired at the trio, has been detained.
Protesting against the incident, local residents said the three persons have no links with Ulfa and could not have fired at the CISF personnel.
According to them, Nilikesh had an argument with a senior CISF official on the day of the incident. He had allegedly gone to the GGS-2 to take permission for a foreign journalist to shoot pictures of the oil station. Vivalda Late, a French photojournalist now on a visit to Upper Assam, was clicking pictures of pollution by oil companies.
However, the CISF official allegedly denied them permission. Later in the day, some CISF personnel allegedly visited his residence to verify whether he had any link with Ulfa.
Late at night when Nilikesh, Bulu and Arup were returning from their coal-related business from Anaki Basti in neighbouring Nagaland, CISF personnel stopped them near the GGS and fired at them, the villagers alleged. Nilikesh was easily identified since the area was brightly lit.
Sivasagar superintendent of police Shyamal Saikia said the incident was unfortunate.
The detained CISF jawan reportedly told police that his deputy commandant T.S. Chadda ordered him to fire at the trio.
Sivasagar deputy commissioner K.K. Dwivedi blamed the CISF for stepping outside its domain. The AASU, too, has condemned the firing.

I've been loving the cool weather that's just hit us and of course it has to have an influence on the outfits I put together. After seeing a gorgeous turtle neck sweater I decided it was the perfect piece to make an outfit around, especially since turtle necks tend to get a bad rap. I went with a chic street fashion look that's perfect for any causal occasion. Plus it's modest. A sort of How to Wear a Turtle Neck Outfit Guide.
- Top – Crop tops are the way to go when you have a lot of coverage elsewhere. It helps balance out the look, and keeping you from looking too covered. I went with a large cable knit because I think it's more flattering and the olive green color because it kind of a non-boring nude.
- Denim – These jeans keep the look from being too uptight or going into a business casual zone. I wanted a light destroy wash to unpolished the look a little bit.
- Cardigan – Cardigans along with turtlenecks get a lot of talk about not being "hot" but this neutral cream color is cute, comfortable and helps keep the outfit modest, even though it has a crop top.
- Bag – You might have previously seen this bag my Thanksgiving Day Outfit Guide and let me tell you it's a keeper. It has a long strap so it can be worn different ways and warm gold hardware.
- Shoes – Although I don't normally make the shoes the lightest part of an outfit for this look I made sure to pick a cute pair of sneakers.
I know back when I did the Animal Graphic Print T-Shirt Outfit I talked about adding makeup to my look but up until now I sort of forgot about it. However with this Fall / Autumn look I knew I needed to add it. I went with a very trendy makeup look (per recent runway shows) and put together a light makeup board.
- Eyeshadow – Nude shadows are just as popular as ever. How dark on the pallet you go depends on the occasion. Of course the lightest for school and darker based on the time and activity.
- Lipstick – Red lips are one of favorite makeup looks and this fall / winter season dark reds are in. Many of those runway makeup looks have extremely dark lips but I went with a more natural one.
- Eyeliner – To go with nude eyeshadow a black (or dark brown) a small cat eye on the upper lid is perfect.
- Eyebrow Gel – Luckily big eyebrows are still in, a look that I think is much more flattering than the alternative. If you don't happen to have them a good eyebrow tint and gel can help.

Loyalist suggests screening to stop sex symbols running for Hong Kong top job
Exco member's argument for screening in chief executive poll derided as insult to Hongkongers
A key Beijing loyalist has suggested that screening is needed for chief executive elections to stop candidates such as sex symbols from running for office.
Cheng Yiu-tong, the honorary president of the Federation of Trade Unions and an Executive Council member, was commenting on last week's remarks by Zhang Xiaoming, director of the central government's liaison office in Hong Kong. Zhang, in a historic visit to the Legislative Council last Wednesday, praised the use of a sieve - a metaphor to mean a screening process for an election - to "sift fine grains from coarse grains".
In response to this yesterday, Cheng said: "[The] sieve is like gold prospecting; the good stuff is sorted out after sifting and sifting. This is very important.
"If we have no such practices, so-called Western universal suffrage has seen even sex symbols elected. Is this something we would like to see here?" Cheng said a screening system should be the way to select who will run for the top job - like last year's election in which a minimum of 150 nominations were needed from a committee of 1,200 that chose Leung Chun-ying and losing candidates Henry Tang Ying-yen and Albert Ho Chun-yan.
Benny Tai Yiu-ting, an organiser of the Occupy Central movement pressing for full democracy in 2017, said Cheng's remarks were an insult to Hongkongers. "Everyone has the right to be elected," Tai said. "If you restrict someone from being elected just because of their previous jobs or remarks, it's unacceptable." He added that Hongkongers had the intelligence to choose the right candidate to be the next leader.
Cheng's comments were also roundly mocked online. Many internet users asked how Diana Pang Dan, a Hong Kong-based actress, could have been selected as a delegate to the Gansu Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference this year. Pang is known for her semi-nude film and television appearances.
In response to Cheng's remarks, Pang said: "Everyone is equal in an election … It would be unfair to deprive anyone of their right to stand in an election because of their [occupation]."
Meanwhile, outspoken celebrity Chapman To Man-chat posted a picture of Cheng to his Facebook page with the message: "What's wrong with a 'sex symbol'? It's still better than you."
Legislative Council president Jasper Tsang Yok-sing said the question was not if there will be screening in the 2017 poll, but whether such screening is fair. Referring to student group Scholarism's proposal that a candidate should be able to run for office with 100,000 signatures, he asked: "If I get 90,000 signatures but I'm still barred, isn't that screening?"

ONE of Ford's most senior global executives has admitted the car company's manufacturing base in Australia is not guaranteed beyond the lifespan of the present Falcon and Territory models.
Ford's president of Asia-Pacific and Africa, Joe Hinrichs, also revealed no decision had been made on what vehicles would replace these locally developed models when they were retired about the middle of this decade, saying the company was "grappling" with both issues.
Mr Hinrichs's comments came as an Australian government delegation arrived in Detroit and weekend reports suggested Ford would inject $50 million towards the locally made cars to secure medium-term production.
"The challenge is on the business side," Mr Hinrichs said last week at the Delhi Auto Expo in India. "Whenever that timeline ends on the current platform, what next, and is there a business case for it to be manufactured in Australia?
"We are grappling with that now because we look out five years in our business-planning process, and so here we are starting 2012 and we have a scenario where we are starting to do planning on expectations for emissions requirements, fuel-economy expectations, weight and so on."
The fall in sales of locally manufactured cars has prompted the federal Industry Minister, Kim Carr, and the South Australian Premier, Jay Wetherill, to head to Detroit for meetings today with executives at Ford and at Holden's parent company, General Motors.
Ford builds the Falcon and Territory at Broadmeadows in Melbourne and four-litre six-cylinder petrol engines in Geelong. The key problem is that the Broadmeadows plant lacks the economies of scale to be competitive with plants in cheaper production regions such as Thailand and India, and the viability of both Victorian plants has been under question because of declining large-car sales.
Falcon sales plunged 36.5 per cent to 18,741 last year. The silver lining was the resurgence of the recently refettled Territory to the top of the SUV sales ladder.
Holden Commodore sales fell 11.6 per cent last year and the model was knocked from the top of the sales charts for the first time in 15 years.
It has been replaced as No. 1 by the Mazda3, the first imported car in the top spot in almost 100 years.
Buyers have shifted away from large cars to small cars and SUVs, most of which are imported. The high dollar has also proved a double negative for local manufacturers, who have seen export markets dry up and imports increase their competition.
The federal government's decision to cut the Green Car Innovation Fund last year has dismayed manufacturers, as has the recent demotion of Senator Carr.
Holden's chairman, Mike Devereux, has warned the government that reduced support will endanger continued investment by General Motors. But Mr Hinrichs said Ford would not follow a similar course of public lobbying or complaint.

The 72 year old can be seen flipping disks all across the UK, as he's been doing since he quit accountancy to pursue his dream.
He calls himself a "9-to-5-er, but 9 in the evening to 5 in the morning". He commissioned his waistcoat at 1 am after a set in Paradise nightclub, so we can take his word for it on that!
Across the decades his music and style have remained consistent and he is nearly always sporting a waistcoat. Next time you see him play, if it's a really tasty blue cord number, then you know it's from Sir Plus!

On the Barricades at Shimer
'Are you going back to the wars?"
"Not a war . . . a family dispute." So said Carson Holloway, a board member at Shimer College, responding to a student's half-joking remark. At this unique college, which calls itself "the 'Great Books' school of Chicago," a struggle over academic authority has been raging recently, rife with 1960s-style undertones. The school's embattled president, Tom Lindsay, is facing ideological opposition from faculty and students. Yet he thinks that the resolution of tensions at Shimer could serve as a "bellwether" for colleges nationwide, where for the past 50 years political agendas have too often contaminated the quality of a liberal-arts education.
Everyone at Shimer believes in a great-books education, through which students study the profound questions of Western thought and civilization. The "family dispute" is over how to govern this great-books school. Should a community of scholars call the shots, as it has done over the past 30 years? Or should the school be run by a chief executive, as the college's president thinks? Is Shimer a Greek-style polis, as many Shimerians believe? Or does it need to function more like a corporation, as the president contends?
There was much less debate back in May 2008, when Mr. Lindsay took over as the college's president. He gave up his No. 2 post at the National Endowment for the Humanities to run a school that has staggered from one financial crisis to another in its 157-year history. At the time, Shimer faculty, staff and students were eager for Mr. Lindsay to join their tiny school, which enrolls about 100 students, and lead it to happier times. Less than two years later, many of the same people who once cheered Mr. Lindsay's arrival now denounce him as a "conservative menace," calling him "authoritarian" and "autocratic."
This has not been the first bump in Shimer's road. Founded in 1853, it tied itself to the University of Chicago from the late 19th century into the 1950s. By 1950, Shimer adopted the great-books curriculum of the University of Chicago, where Mr. Lindsay received his doctorate. But the "Grotesque Internecine Struggle" of the late sixties threw the college into disarray.
Despite the comical name by which it is remembered at Shimer, this internal conflict had very serious implications for the college. Like other battles on politically cantankerous campuses at the time, it pitted faculty and students against the administration and president. Amid the chaos, Shimer's enrollment dropped to 300 from more than 500, eventually bottoming out at fewer than 50 students. The school nearly shut down on multiple occasions, and in 1977 it declared bankruptcy and abandoned its home in idyllic Mount Carroll for rented quarters in Waukegan, Ill.
Alleging that poor leadership by the college's then-president was to blame for the financial mess, students, faculty and staff then banded together, during the 1980-81 academic year, to form "the assembly," a self-governing body that determined important school policy based on a majority vote of all three groups. The board and the president assumed more marginal roles.
Under the assembly, enrollment grew to about 100. The college found funds to relocate to Chicago, carving a small space on the Illinois Institute of Technology's campus in 2006. But during its 30-year recovery period, says William Craig Rice, Shimer's president from 2004 to 2007, the college still only "had 60 days' worth of cash" on hand on any given day.
Enter Mr. Lindsay, charged by Shimer's board—which includes faculty and students—with securing the college's future. The board gave him several tasks: to establish a $10 million endowment—the college currently has none; to boost enrollment to 300 students; and to brand Shimer as a nationally renowned great-books school (it does rank among the top 1% of U.S. colleges in sending students to doctoral programs). The board, it seemed, had decided that Shimer ought to be run like other American colleges, with a chief executive at its helm.
But Mr. Lindsay's first major move in that capacity threw the campus into an uproar. He fired the director of admissions, without consulting the assembly. Accusations against the decision came thick and fast: "Infamous," "uncalled for" and the dreaded "unilateral."
In the president's defense, the director of admissions had been given the assignment of attracting 55 to 60 new students to Shimer for the fall of 2009. Only 36 enrolled, representing a decrease of 20% from the prior year, at a school where nearly 70% of revenue comes from tuition. As for the claim that the president ignored the tradition of self-governance at Shimer, in 2008 the college's board itself determined that matters of personnel, among others, would rest with the president.
What seems to be irking faculty and students are the president's classically liberal politics, which are out of tune on a campus that invited ex-Weatherman Bill Ayers to be a speaker in 2008.
Consider Mr. Lindsay's second major change at Shimer, a new mission statement. The old one was a paltry three sentences that described the goal of education as "active citizenship" and "responsible action"—1960s buzzwords. Mr. Lindsay rewrote the statement, making it longer and more explicit. "The word 'liberal' in 'liberal education' has the same root as the word 'liberty.' . . . Shimer finds the highest liberty to consist in the freedom of the mind; that is, in freedom from unexamined assumptions, for example, swings in intellectual fashion, partisan politics, and ideology." Given that the pursuit of intellectual liberty "depends on its being situated in a system of political liberty," the statement notes the importance of studying the Declaration of Independence, the American Constitution and The Federalist Papers.
When Mr. Lindsay shared the statement with students and faculty as part of an intended consultation process, the words "liberty" and "liberal" exploded like a bomb. "Code words for the right wing," said one professor. "Words that tea-baggers throw around," a student complained. The mention of founding documents in the mission statement also caused an uproar. In the words of one student, "It's chauvinistic." And why, critics wondered darkly, did Mr. Lindsay refer to Aristotle, Shakespeare and even Marx in the statement, while ignoring such "greats" as Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault and Mary Wollstonecraft?
For now, Mr. Lindsay's version stands. "The mission statement makes clear that freedom of the mind transcends political freedom," he told me. "It does a disservice to liberals to say that they're not for freedom of the mind."
And Mr. Lindsay is optimistic about Shimer's future. He says that since he made his mission statement public, his email and voicemail inboxes have been ringing with messages of support from foundations and benefactors. They believe, after all, in the same great-books education that brought Mr. Lindsay and the Shimer community together in the first place.

Another of the post-Katrina class of new restaurants has closed with the shuttering this past weekend of West Indies.
The Uptown restaurant served excellent Colombian cuisine in an unusual and evidently difficult location. It was housed in the restaurant space of the St. Charles Avenue Athletic Center, and despite a changing and increasingly bold array of banners and signs advertising its presence the place was always difficult to spot.
West Indies was the second incarnation of the restaurant that chef/owner Hernan Caro started in Kenner in 2006. It was also the latest salvo in a family rivalry that also produced Baru Bistro & Tapas, which continues to serve a very similar menu in a different format further Uptown on Magazine Street.
A note from owner Hernan Caro explains that he and his wife Amalia (both pictured at left) have decided to change gears and operate a catering business, which will specialize in the Colombian and Caribbean dishes that were the restaurant's mainstays.
Caro is also a metal craftsman who has produced functional and decorative wrought-iron pieces for many local restaurants. He says he's putting up sale all the chairs, chandeliers, wine racks and such he made for West Indies.

LAST week the Financial Services Authority launched its independent online mortgage tables which can help you shop around and compare nearly 1,300 mortgages to find the best value deals.
Available at www.fsa.gov.uk they cover the core range of mortgage products that are most commonly bought and include details from over 100 mortgage providers. The tables enable you to compare:
Interest rates, including both the initial and standard rate as well as the APR, giving a sense of both the short and longer term value offered;
Any restrictions, such as early repayment charges. Details can be found in the product summary that is provided for each mortgage;
Fees and incentives, including higher lending fees, valuation fees, set-up fees and cashback;
Flexibility, that is mortgages which allow you to pay less, more or take a payment holiday; and
Whether the mortgage can be linked to your current account so that you pay less interest.
Beverley Brewster of the FSA's comparative tables team, said, "Unlike other websites, these tables are not trying to sell you a mortgage. They're intended to help you shop around and make a shortlist of the best value deals. Then you can explore the ones that interest you in greater detail directly with the provider or broker concerned."
You first of all input some basic details such as whether you are a first-time buyer, moving home or want to remortgage, plus details of the value of the property and how much you want to borrow, how long you want the mortgage to be for and whether you want a repayment or interest-only loan.
Then you choose what type of interest rate deal you want fixed, discounted, capped or variable.
The Table is initially sorted alphabetically but you can choose to sort it by interest rate. But despite all the information, (and despite doing well in the example mortgage I looked up) Nationwide thinks the Tables should provide even more: such as the total amount payable over life of the mortgage and whether the mortgage meets government-set CAT (cost access and terms) standards.
You'd still be wise to get some free advice on the best mortgage for you from a specialist mortgage broker such as London & Country 0800 373300.
