When using a Category 6 system, the full specification includes the testing of each part individually and in an end-to-end-channel. Because CAT6 is an open standard, products from different vendors... more/see it nowshould work together.
Channel testing includes patch cable, bulk cable, jacks, patch panels, etc. These tests cover a number of measurements, including: attenuation, NEXT, PS-NEXT, EL-FEXT, ACR, PS-ACR, EL-FEXT, PS-ELFEXT, and Return Loss. Products that are tested together should work together as specified. In theory, products from all manufacturers are interchangeable. But, if products from different manufacturers are inserted in a channel, end-to-end CAT6 performance may be compromised.
Component testing, on the other hand, is much stricter even though only two characteristics are measured: crosstalk and return loss. Although all CAT6 products should be interchangeable, products labeled as component are guaranteed to perform
to a CAT6 level in a channel with products from different manufacturers.
For more information on cable, channel, and component specs, see below.
Buyer's Guide: CAT5e vs. CAT6 Cable
Standard — CAT5e: TIA-568-B.2; CAT6: TIA-568-B.2-1
Frequency — CAT5e: 100 MHz; CAT6: 250 MHz
Attenuation (maximum at 100 MHz) —

Channel: CAT5e: 17.4 dB; CAT6: 23.3 dB

Characteristic Impedance — Both: 100 ohms ± 15%
Delay Skew (maximum per 100 m) — Both: 45 ns
NOTE: In Attenuation testing, the lower the number, the better. In NEXT, EL-FEXT, and Return Loss testing, the higher the number, the better.

Scott Pilgrim: PracticeScott Pilgrim Comicverse, Kim/LisaSummary: The things Kim does for friendship.Lisa put her hands on Kim's knees and leaned over her, her chest about four inches from Kim's face. "Kim!""Lisa." Kim's eyes drifted downwards. "Lisa's cleavage.""Kim, I need a huge favor.""How huge?"Lisa chewed on her bottom lip. "It's pretty huge, I'm not gonna lie. And you're pretty much the only one I can ask, so just hear me out, okay?"Kim quirked an eyebrow, but said, "Okay.""Would you, maybe, kinda...make out with me?"Kim blinked a couple times, then looked at her wrist. "Oh, would you look at the time. I have to go do something not completely random and retarded.""Come on!" Lisa crouched down and rested her chin between her hands, which were still on Kim's knees. "This is really important. And it's not even weird or anything anymore, everyone does it.""I think the
Scott Pilgrim: Cuddle TimeScott Pilgrim Comicverse, Kim/Ramona/ScottSummary: Ramona wants to cuddle.Kim was sitting cross-legged on the floor, idly tapping her drumsticks on the hardwood -- except the stupid things kept falling out of her hands for some damn reason."Okay, so now we know, Kim's not allowed rum when she's got to play for real," Stephen Stills said, glancing over his shoulder from his position on the couch. "It totally makes you suck.""Bite me," Kim said. "I haven't even had that much.""You've had enough, obviously.""Bite me.""God, he's right, even your insults suck when you're drunk," Julie called from the couch.Kim opened her mouth -- she suspected 'Bite me' was going to come out of it again, because even though she totally wasn't drunk, her head felt a little fuzzy -- but Ramona suddenly walked over and dropped to the ground behind her. "Guys, you should be nice to Kim," she slurred. "She's like my BFF for life.
Scott Pilgrim: Friendly VisitScott Pilgrim Comicverse, Kim/RamonaSummary: Ramona's kind of a bad person, and Kim hates Scott Pilgrim.Ramona appears in Kim's doorway, and it only takes a glance for Kim to know this isn't quite going to be a "friendly" visit."You shouldn't be here," she says."I'm kind of a bad person," Ramona says, and drops her bag on the ground. "What's your excuse?""I hate Scott Pilgrim," Kim says as Ramona climbs into the bed with her."Sure." Ramona curls up against Kim's side and nestles her face into the crook of Kim's neck and breaths in deeply, but doesn't move after that, so maybe Kim was wrong about why she came over."Do you want to do something?" Kim asks after a few moments."Nnggh," Ramona grunts."What was that?""Nnnnggghh."Kim rolls her eyes, then perks up. "What's that, girl? Timmy's in the well?" Ramona pinches her. "Ouch.""You're so weird," she says."Like you can talk."
HTTYD: Five Times...RuffnutSummary: Five times Ruffnut was scared, and one she was brave. Femslash, companion piece to "Five Times..."When they are six, Tuffnut tells Ruffnut that babies are made when two people kiss. She, in turn, tells Astrid, but Astrid doesn't believe her, and kisses Ruff to prove it.Sure enough, Ruffnut's belly does not swell like she's seen on some of the women. Astrid takes this as a sign that Tuffnut is, once again, just being a stupid boy. Ruffnut kind of thinks Astrid did it wrong, but then they're off to the next game, and she forgets.Later that evening though, she remembers. She gets nervous, and then she gets scared, because maybe it doesn't matter that Astrid's not a boy, and maybe she did it right after all, and Ruff doesn't want a baby. She's quiet and distracted during dinner, and when their father takes Tuff to the creek for a bath, their mother pulls Ruffnut to the side and asks her what's wrong.
HTTYD: Keeping UpSummary: Fishlegs tries to keep up with Ruff."Snack time!" Ruffnut called, walking towards the Zippleback.Scabber and Dash raised their heads and began bouncing in anticipation. Ruffnut tossed the first fish into Dash's waiting mouth, where he gobbled it hungrily. The next one went towards Scabber, but Dash snatched it out of the air."Hey, none of that!" she said before the dragons could start fighting. "We're sharing today." Dash growled, she motioned for Scabber to come closer so she could toss the last two fish to him without interruption. "Daddy's busy today, so Auntie Ruff's taking care of you." Scabber rubbed his head against her outstretched hand, and Dash spat out a thin plume of gas. Ruffnut smiled at him. "Quit whining ya baby, we'll play one-on-one later." She tossed the basket to the side and clapped her hands. "All right boys, get it together. We're going solo today."The Zippleback trilled, then locked their long necks together so Ruffnut could straddle them bot
HTTYD: Choice, EpilogueSummary: Three years after the events of the movie, Astrid makes a choice."We should do this more often," Ruffnut said."Agreed." Astrid's eyes were closed as she enjoyed the secluded hot spring, but they blinked open as Ruff pulled her onto her lap and wrapped her arms around Astrid's waist."You know what I think we should do?" Ruffnut murmured, her fingers dancing on Astrid's thigh.Astrid smiled. "I think I can guess.""Are you saying I'm getting predictable? I need to step up my game." She slipped her fingers down, and Astrid bit her lip."Wait, I think I hear them," Hiccup said from a little ways off."Seriously?!" Ruffnut yelled to the heavens, and Astrid let out a deep belly laugh. "I'm going to kick their asses, I really am.""Be nice," Astrid said through her giggles.Hiccup and Tuffnut stepped around the natural rock barrier separating the spring from the forest at large, Hiccup with a sigh and Tuffnut wit

Award-winning, student-run radio station broadcasts around the world.
By Amy Laskowski

Haejee Park has already been at work for two hours as most of the campus begins to stir on a Thursday morning. The 6 a.m. time slot for the WTBU Sounds of Boston radio program wasn't her first choice, but she took what she could get.
"[In fall 2012] I was an intern, so this spring is my first semester hosting my own show," says Park (SMG'15). "It's painful to wake up that early, but it's what I had to do. At least having the early time slot gives me a chance to learn my way around."
Park is one of the 100 members of Boston University's student-run radio station WTBU, which broadcasts 20 hours a day from the third floor of the College of Communication and is home to around 70 shows that give a decidedly student-focused spin on the news, sports, and music.
WTBU is perhaps most famous for signing on Howard Stern (CGS'74, COM'76) (who claims he was fired because he ran a controversial segment on his show King Schmaltz Bagel Hour), but its current staff is most proud of being named Station of the Year at the CMJ College Radio Awards, held in New York City in October 2012. The station was also nominated for Best Use of Limited Resources and Biggest Champion of the Local Scene, and James Miller (CAS'14, COM'14) was nominated for Music Director of the Year.
Anne Donohue (COM'89), a COM associate professor and WTBU's advisor, says the award celebrates the students' dedication and long hours, and has "been a long time coming." She points out that executive board members (the students who collectively run the station) receive two class credits per semester. Although WTBU is housed at COM, students from all over the University participate.
WTBU general manager Deanna Archetto (CAS'14, COM'14) says the station offers a perfect opportunity for deejays to learn how to handle the responsibility of live broadcasting. "College radio is the place to learn how to be a deejay and how to promote a show," says Archetto, who hosts Internet Killed the Radio Star, which broadcasts Saturdays at noon and features music from little-known YouTube performers. "When I started, I remember learning the art of talking on air without being awkward. When it's your show, you're the center of attention. Even though your face isn't visible, it's your moment to be in the limelight."
"To work here, you really have to have a love for the campus and community," says Matt Paterno (CGS'11, COM'13), the station's general manager in fall 2012. "It's a part-time job, but over the last two years I've spent so much time at this station that I've seen more of the night janitors than my professors."
Like other media, radio stations across the country find themselves threatened by slashed budgets. In Boston alone during the last few years, WFNX 101.7, Oldies 103.3, WBCN 104.1, and WTKK 96.9 have closed; other stations have opted to change to an uninspired non-deejay format.
WTBU has a different kind of problem: while the 56-year-old station is technically on 89.3 FM and 640 AM, its signal isn't strong enough to be heard outside the walls of COM. So like many other college radio stations, WTBU encourages listeners to stream its shows online. The strategy has proved successful, says Archetto. The station gets about 300 visits a day, some from as far away as China, England, and California.
Before stepping up to the microphone, hopeful deejays learn the ropes by interning, says programming director John-Michael Sedor (COM'15). One of the most popular shows is WTBU News, which airs Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 p.m., and features interviews with student government members, BU faculty commenting on politics, and campus events. WTBU Sports also draws many listeners.
Students can apply to host their own show at the end of a semester-long trial period. This semester, 80 applicants applied, so many that the station opened the midnight to 2 a.m. slot for more shows. "I really try to move stuff around if it means I can give more people a spot," Sedor says.
Music is in the hands of WTBU music director Laura Jane Brubaker (COM'13), who considers herself the station's "tastemaker." She reviews all music submitted to the station by bands, promoters, and record companies to sift through what should be played on the station. In her free time, she stakes out artists at local venues, inviting those she likes to come into the station to perform.
"Local indie music is the stuff that doesn't get out there unless someone wants it to get out there," says Brubaker, who cites as her favorite bands of the moment Norwegian Arms and DRGN KING. "I get kind of irked when I see people playing Taylor Swift on their shows because that isn't why we're here. We are in a metropolitan university in a major city. We should promote stuff that won't get out there otherwise."
This effort might make for a daunting challenge, but Sedor is aiming high. "With this Station of the Year award," he says, "our biggest goal is to show BU that it has the best college radio station in the country."
Parents who want to tune in can stream WTBU shows live on the station's website or download the WTBU apps for iPhone and Droid.

Donald Fehr and Gary Bettman will not be directly involved in today's meeting between six NHL owners and a select group of NHL players, but don't jump to a conclusion assuming that both sides will suddenly find some common ground with their leaders out of the room.
Bettman has long been the player's whipping boy. They actually believe that he wants to ruin the game and that he's the ultimate puppet master pulling the owner's strings. Meanwhile the NHL is certain that Fehr is not telling the players the truth, even though many of them have been present during most of the negotiations.
The lockout was asinine to begin with, but it's becoming more laughable by the day. It would be great if today's meeting will start an avalanche of positive negotiations, or as Steve Burton reported continue on the "significant progress" they allegedly made yesterday.
We'll see.
The Joe Colborne Conundrum
Gus Katsaros
December 04 2012 07:33AM
Let's start this by establishing boundaries. Just what kind of player did the Leafs acquire in Joe Colborne?
At the 2:15-2:55 point of the press conference announcing the trade that sent Tomas Kaberle to Boston for Colborne and a first round pick, Brian Burke makes this statement about newly acquired Joe Colborne.
"Meets our criteria of assets that are close, not guys that'll take three years to get there."
That press conference took place in February 2011. The wrist injury affected his progress and timelines need to be adjusted. – even with the lockout. Recovery time would spill into the 2012-13 season, so there's a distinct possibility that Colborne is playing through an injury, either the wrist, or something else.
Morgan Rielly named to Team Canada's selection camp - Percy omitted
Cam Charron
December 03 2012 11:20AM
And this morning came the much-anticipated announcement of Canada's World Junior squad selection camp roster. Specifically, we at TLN were looking for Toronto Maple Leafs on the roster. As expected, Morgan Rielly was named to the camp roster as a defenceman and Stuart Percy, who has been captaining the Mississauga Steelheads, was not.
Joe Colborne was scratched twice this weekend. What now?
Cam Charron
December 03 2012 08:58AM
Lacking an ECHL affiliate for some reason, the Toronto Maple Leafs have somewhat of a surplus of B-prospects moving in and out of the lineup at Ricoh. Sunday, it seems, Joe Colborne was held out of the lineup and his replacement, Spencer Abbott, scored three assists in just his sixth game of the season in Toronto's 5-4 win over Lake Erie.
Colborne has passed the eye test this season, but he hasn't put it together offensively, recording a single goal (on the powerplay) and five assists (all at even strength) in 18 games this season. Holding him out of the lineup wasn't simply an injury precaution, but a tactic used by Dallas Eakins to presumably kickstart him the way he did with Nazem Kadri's scoring earlier this season.
Leafs Prospect Update: December 3rd, 2012
Justin Fisher
December 02 2012 09:14PM
Not to sound like a broken record, but Tony Cameranesi had another solid weekend for the NCAA's Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs. Cameranesi put up a goal and 2 assists in two weekend match ups against Michigan Tech, bringing his season point totals to 6 goals and 15 points in 14 games - that's good for second in WCHA Freshmen scoring, and tied for 12th in league scoring.
So, just how good is 15 points in 14 games for a 1st-year NCAA hockey player? Small sample size aside, Cameranesi's 1.07 would have tied for the rookie lead last season, and would have been a convincing lock for rookie lead in 2009-2010. This paragraph may have been even more impactful if it wasn't for Blues prospect Jaden Schwartz (1.57) scoring like a mad man in 2010-2011. Damn him.

Hello everybody...I'm writing a story and the main character is 32 years old, has beautiful, wavy/curly blonde hair, blue glassy eyes and an outgoing and fun personality. Her best friend is Kate and her husband is Dave. I really love Lindsey, but now sure if it sounds good on a 32 year old. I am really interested in seeing your response...I'm feeling Lindsey in my heart but it's up to you!! Thank you so very much!
or Mattie Josephine? We love the name Mattie ---- which middle name do you like with it?
Please help me decide. Siblings are Kayla Katelyn (12), Joshua Michael (3). Thank you for your help.
I will list in 1st poll
Hey. I'm having twin girls who are due in December and I really need your help. They are of Irish descent, so I wanted to give them Irish names. Comments are also appreciated. Thanks a bunch! (Also, Caitlin is pronounced Cotchleen. Niamh is pronounced Neeve, and Richael is pronounced Rikayle. And if I pick Cassidy her nicknaame will be Cassie.)
Hi I'm Kimberly My husbands name is Robert. We are really exaited because we are expecting our second Child together! A girl! We already Have a son named Conner William (he will be 4 on December 24th). We were looking for a girl's name that has an E in it. What did we Decide on? Charitey (We added the E).

Another poll got me thinking. People seem to see the name Jethro as either Beverly Hillbillies related or NCIS related and the difference seems to be generational.

None of the older kids I've seen today (relatives and their friends, 9 kids total, from 7 yrs to 16 yrs) related it to the Hillbillies. But maybe my kids' circle just isn't that culturally conscious. Ask whatever kid is passing your computer right now. What, if anything, do they think of upon hearing the name Jethro?
Which middle name sounds best with the first name Grace? Thank you so much!

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Mulcair distorts Canada's environmental record
Thomas Mulcair, federal NDP leader and leader of the opposition, has recently been berating Canada's environmental performance as he travels in the United States.
"In the U.S. people know how to read," he said. "They know that Canada is the only country that has withdrawn from Kyoto. They know that the Conservatives can't possibly meet their Copenhagen targets [on greenhouse gas emissions] precisely because of the oilsands. They have to stop playing people for fools."
In another presentation, Mulcair said: "I don't think we are applying the basic rules of sustainable development in Canada right now, we've been clear about that," he says when asked why he won't give a simple "yes" or "no" on whether he backs Keystone XL.
The Conservative government "is not enforcing our own federal legislation, we're not protecting the groundwater, we're not protecting the eco-systems, we're not protecting first nations' health," he added."
According to an article in the Globe and Mail, "He criticized Stephen Harper's Conservative government and said its willingness to gut Canadian law and flout international treaties must be reversed. Mr. Harper has created a Canada that is "unrecognizable to a lot of the countries we have worked with closely over the decades and it's no longer recognizable to ourselves."
Alas, Mulcair seems to have a rather poor grasp of the facts regarding the environment. First, Canada is not the only country to turn their back on the Kyoto Protocol as Russia and Japan have refused to commit to another round of emission reduction targets and the U.S. never ratified the protocol to begin with.
But more importantly, contrary to Mulcair's assertions, environmental quality in Canada has been improving for decades in almost every meaningful category.
As documented in the study Canadian Environmental indicators — air quality, in most instances, Canadians currently experience significantly better air quality than at any other time since continuous monitoring of air quality began in the 1970s. Concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, for instance, have decreased sharply in the vast majority of locations in Canada over the past 30 years. The decrease is especially apparent in our major urban centers. Concentrations of carbon monoxide, a potent toxic emission, has decreased everywhere in Canada and since the mid-1990s has not exceeded the strictest provincial air quality objective at any of the 156 monitoring locations across the country.
Most notably, concentrations of two of the air pollutants of greatest concern — ground-level ozone and ultrafine particulate matter — have generally decreased across Canada since 2000. Air quality in Canada has improved and is improving.
And it's not simply air quality that has improved.
As previous reports have documented, water quality in Canada is generally quite good, and forests are not harvested beyond levels that are considered environmental protective. More and more waste water is subject to high levels of treatment before being released to the environment, more solid waste is being diverted to recycling, soil quality has improved, and the size of protected areas has increased over recent decades.
The current federal government, demonized by Mulcair as environmental laggards, has implemented Canada's first nation-wide regulations on treated and untreated wastewater, Canada's largest source of water pollution.
We would never suggest that Canada is free of environmental challenges — it certainly isn't, Canada is a natural resource powerhouse that faces unique environmental challenges.
And as the world of energy production is changing quickly with regard to things like shale gas and oil sands production, it is certainly prudent to be alert to the potential for environmental harms.
But an objective view of Canada's environmental trends hardly justify the kind of catastrophic environmental destruction that Mulcair would have the world believe Canada is enduring. And to so badly distort Canada's record, particularly while traveling abroad, is unseemly in the leader of the opposition, who, in theory at least, serves as the "government in waiting."
There is still progress to be made in protecting Canada's environment, but hysterical pronouncements of imminent environmental Armageddon do not contribute much to the process of deriving environmental policy that balances environmental protection with economic growth. Striking that balance based on sober facts and sound judgment should be the goal of Canada's government, both those currently in power, and those who would like to be.
Kenneth P. Green is senior director, energy and natural resources at the Fraser Institute. Joel Wood is the senior research economist in the Fraser Institute's centre for environmental studies.

Not to reduce literature to some kind of palliative or lifestyle accompaniment or anything, but it turns out Stoner is an ideal book to read when you're ill. It just coasts you along, steadily, gently, like a very well built boat down an old canal. Even though the canal is a deep one full of pain and regret and sorrow and human disappointment. I could blame illness, or I could blame, Herzog voice, the constant affliction that is human feeling, but these lines moved me hopelessly.
"In his extreme youth Stoner had thought of love as an absolute state of being to which, if one were lucky, one might find access; in his maturity he had decided it was the heaven of a false religion, toward which one ought to gaze with an amused disbelief, a gently familiar contempt, and an embarrassed nostalgia. Now in his middle age he began to know that it was neither a state of grace nor an illusion; he saw it as a human act of becoming, a condition that was invented and modified moment by moment and day by day, by the will and the intelligence and the heart."

|• Education, Vice Chair
|• Judiciary
|• Local Government
|• Rules
Campaign themes
Hansen's 2014 campaign website mirrored the themes seen below.[2]
Hansen's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[3]
Government SpendingNatural resources can and must be used wisely and protected wisely. Use and protection do not exclude each other. Responsible companies should be invited to explore and do business in Montana without prohibitive policies stifling incentives to do so. We are to be good stewards of God's creation. All efforts must be made to prevent environmental damage by all users, but if an accident or other damage occurs, the one responsible must be required to clean up his mess. We must also look to the future. What we have won't last forever. We must consider alternative sources, including nuclear, hydro, geothermal, solar, wind, and whatever else hasn't yet been dreamed up.
I believe in realistic expectations, elimination of inefficiencies, and conservative budgeting. We are spending too much, and not utilizing our churches, charities, and community organizations effectively to provide services they are in unique positions to provide.
It is right for each citizen to contribute to an efficient government that focuses its resources on its constitutional duties. Excessive government should not be imposed upon its citizens' wallets or bank accounts.
I am pro life.
Public education spending needs to be directed to reach children in the classroom and to maintain and upgrade facilities. Rural schools provide a sense of small community pride and offer a small school choice to parents whose children do better in that setting. Private education and home schools need to be encouraged and allowed to thrive. Montana's public education system is one of the best in the country and will be made better when parents have options to consider for their children's best interests.

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Texas scorecards, email suggestions to email@example.com.
Please see our writing guidelines if you would like to add results from an individual scorecard to this legislator's profile.
In 2013, the Legislature was in session from January 7 to April 27.

We Are The Same But Different
"We Are The Cats" – Photographer Andy Prokher took this amazing picture of his daughter, Katherine (Kat), and her best friend and pet, Lilu. We love it because you immediately see the love between the two with that little sparkle in the eye. There is nothing like the bond between a child and her or his pet. Although Kat has painted her face, they do look alike in a weird and artistic way, but that's the point. They love each other and it shows.

Beware of "Christian Swingers" AKA Perverts
THESE perverts are headed for the deepest pits of hellfire, because they are not only adulterers, perverts and fornicators, they are doing it in Christ Jesus' name!
Oh I'm sure it must sound exciting. But how does an everlasting eternity of being tortured in the flames of hell" where their worm dieth not" sound?
Who Will Jesus Damn?
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Re: Beware of "Christian Swingers" AKA Perverts
This does not surprise me in the least as Baptits prone to debauchery proliferate from group homes in the Florida pan-handle all the way to trailer parks in Lompoc.
My assistant, Brother Niall Downes, has been studying a well-known phenomenon in The Church whereupon non-Catholics line up for and participate in the blessed Sacrament of Confession.
You read that right... assuming you weren't home schooled in Freehold.
It seems these misguided souls are under the false belief (Who would have imagined cultists with false beliefs?) that by participating in Holy Confession their mortal transgressions are wiped away like traffic tickets contested in court when the issuing police fail to show for trial.
As much as I appreciate that deep down they are seeking forgiveness for their sins, there is no get out of eternal Hell card free for folks like this unless they have been properly baptized and are taking Confession as a prelude to their first Communion.
Our exit polling is extensive and we can determine within a plus or minus 2 percent accuracy that in areas where Baptwits are prevalent almost 11 percent of Confessions are for the imaginary benefit of sexual miscreants like those in the aforementioned article.
Of course we don't keep stats on Catholic confessions but we sure as heck do track the babble that tumbles out of the mouths of sinners like this who are too stupid to bother joining the one true Church and the one Church where forgiveness for sins like this is a kneel and a prayer or two away!
I would tell you more but that might spoil Brother Downes' upcoming exposé on this topic entitled "Sins of the Dims, a Scholarly Look at America's Dumbest Punters".
When the book is released I will ask Brother Downes to pop in and take a few questions from the crowd here. He has promised to use very small words in his replies so get prepared and do take a closer look at any Freehold couples who never seem to get married but spend a lot of time pie-swapping.
Bless you, my hose and whipper snappers,

Re: Beware of "Christian Swingers" AKA Perverts
As someone who spent hours honing his physique at the local gym, I have myself been tempted by beautiful seductresses like these.
But I heed The Lord.
Matthew 5:28: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
However, I suspect a poor wimpish man with purple hair has no chance but succumb to the whims of a firm, steamy, oil soaked siren.
I can't fathom the torture Satan has in store for him at the steely hands of this Jezebel.
Romans 8:6. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
In His Name.
"He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord."(Deuteronomy 23:1)
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)
Re: Beware of "Christian Swingers" AKA Perverts
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

State-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr asked a federal judge permission to place Detroit into Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection Thursday, July 18, 2013, making it the largest city to file for bankruptcy in U.S. history.

This article appeared in the October 2010 issue of Louisville Magazine. To subscribe, please visit loumag.com.
The word "neighborhood" has always been an elastic term, and especially so in a city that until seven years ago was a whole county. It can mean, to some, a single street, or a group of streets whose homes were built about the same time, or a section of the city drawn around a central focal point, or a suburban subdivision, or section of a subdivision, or even a fifth- or sixth-class city inside the big city. Throughout October we will feature 16 of Louisville's neighborhoods — not necessary the "goes without saying" selections that come up time and again, but pieces of real estate and social fabric inclusively chosen for their beauty, value, character, amenities and, well, neighborliness. To follow along with this series, please visit the Neighborly 'Hoods section.
Northwestern Parkway becomes Southwestern Parkway before running into Broadway in the Shawnee neighborhood, and the majestic oak trees that line the roads cast giant shadows onto the pavement, hardly a sliver of sunlight breaking through. Peaceful is the word that comes to mind when trying to describe the scene. Near the golf course, the English Tudors, with their intricate stone chimneys out front, are — well, they're pretty adorable. A quick car trip — or better yet, bike ride — down the route proves what longtime west Louisville inhabitants already know: This is one of the city's prettiest streets.
The almost 300-acre, Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Shawnee Park, which dates to the late 1800s, is another of the neighborhood's assets. On a weekend afternoon, do not be surprised to find a remote-controlled airplane buzzing through the sky. Stay on your bike and pedal down a trail that, if you squint hard enough through the trees, offers an Ohio River view. Basketball and tennis courts, a pond and picnic tables are popular hangouts with the locals. And during some summer evenings, neighbors plop into lawn chairs and spread out blankets on a baseball diamond to watch family-friendly movies like The Blind Side on a large screen.
Several people who live in the area say East Enders do not make it to Shawnee Park very often. One even called it Louisville's "most underutilized gem." The upside: Shawnee residents get it all to themselves.
