Skip to comments.Vatican letter directs bishops to keep parish records from Mormons
Posted on 05/02/2008 12:03:45 PM PDT by colorcountry
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- In an effort to block posthumous rebaptisms by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Catholic dioceses throughout the world have been directed by the Vatican not to give information in parish registers to the Mormons' Genealogical Society of Utah.
An April 5 letter from the Vatican Congregation for Clergy, obtained by Catholic News Service in late April, asks episcopal conferences to direct all bishops to keep the Latter-day Saints from microfilming and digitizing information contained in those registers.
The order came in light of "grave reservations" expressed in a Jan. 29 letter from the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the clergy congregation's letter said.
Father James Massa, executive director of the U.S. bishops' Secretariat of Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, said the step was taken to prevent the Latter-day Saints from using records -- such as baptismal documentation -- to posthumously baptize by proxy the ancestors of church members.
Posthumous baptisms by proxy have been a common practice for the Latter-day Saints -- commonly known as Mormons -- for more than a century, allowing the church's faithful to have their ancestors baptized into their faith so they may be united in the afterlife, said Mike Otterson, a spokesman in the church's Salt Lake City headquarters.
In a telephone interview with CNS May 1, Otterson said he wanted a chance to review the contents of the letter before commenting on how it will affect the Mormons' relationship with the Catholic Church.
"This dicastery is bringing this matter to the attention of the various conferences of bishops," the letter reads. "The congregation requests that the conference notifies each diocesan bishop in order to ensure that such a detrimental practice is not permitted in his territory, due to the confidentiality of the faithful and so as not to cooperate with the erroneous practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
The letter is dated 10 days before Pope Benedict XVI's April 15-20 U.S. visit, during which he presided over an ecumenical prayer service attended by two Mormon leaders. It marked the first time Mormons had participated in a papal prayer service.
Father Massa said he could see how the policy stated in the letter could strain relations between the Catholic Church and the Latter-day Saints.
"It certainly has that potential," he said. "But I would also say that the purpose of interreligious dialogue is not to only identify agreements, but also to understand our differences. As Catholics, we have to make very clear to them their practice of so-called rebaptism is unacceptable from the standpoint of Catholic truth."
The Catholic Church will eventually open a dialogue with the Mormons about the rebaptism issue, Father Massa said, "but we are at the beginning of the beginning of a new relationship with the LDS. The first step in any dialogue is to establish trust and to seek friendship."
The two faiths share intrinsic viewpoints on key issues the United States is facing, particularly the pro-life position on abortion and an opposition to same-sex marriage.
However, theological differences have cropped up between Mormons and Catholics in the past.
In 2001 the Vatican's doctrinal congregation issued a ruling that baptism conferred by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints cannot be considered a valid Christian baptism, thus requiring converts from that religion to Catholicism to receive a Catholic baptism.
"We don't have an issue with the fact that the Catholic Church doesn't recognize our baptisms, because we don't recognize theirs," Otterson said. "It's a difference of belief."
When issuing its 2001 ruling, the Vatican said that even though the Mormon baptismal rite refers to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the church's beliefs about the identity of the three persons are so different from Catholic and mainline Christian belief that the rite cannot be regarded as a Christian baptism.
Latter-day Saints regard Jesus and the Holy Spirit as children of the Father and the Heavenly Mother. They believe that baptism was instituted by the Father, not Christ, and that it goes back to Adam and Eve.
Msgr. J. Terrence Fitzgerald -- vicar general of the Diocese of Salt Lake City -- said he didn't understand why the Latter-day Saints church was singled out in this latest Vatican policy regarding parish records.
"We have a policy not to give out baptismal records to anyone unless they are entitled to have them," Msgr. Fitzgerald said of his diocese. "That isn't just for the Church of the Latter-day Saints. That is for all groups."
Though he said the Salt Lake City Diocese has enjoyed a long-standing dialogue with the Latter-day Saints, Msgr. Fitzgerald said the diocese does not support giving the Mormons names for the sake of rebaptism.
Mormons have been criticized by several other faiths -- perhaps most passionately by the Jews -- for the church's practice of posthumous baptism.
Members of the Latter-day Saints believe baptizing their ancestors by proxy gives the dead an opportunity to embrace the faith in the afterlife. The actual baptism-by-proxy ceremony occurs in a Mormon temple, and is intended to wash sins away for the commencement of church membership.
Jewish leaders have called the practice arrogant and said it is disrespectful to the dead, especially Holocaust victims.
"Baptism by proxy is a fundamentally important doctrine of the Latter-day Saints," Otterson said. "We have cooperative relationships with churches, governments -- both state and national -- going back to the last century. Our practice of negotiating for records and making them available for genealogical research is very well known."
Father Massa said he is not aware of aggressive attempts to obtain baptismal records at Catholic parishes in any of the U.S. dioceses.
He also said the Catholic Church will continue to reach out to the Mormons and carry on the efforts of understanding that have already begun, especially in Salt Lake City.
"Profound theological differences are not an excuse for avoiding dialogue, but a reason for pursuing dialogue," Father Massa said.
I, for one, was IRRITATED by it!

Amen; Brother!!
We MORMON's got to STICK together!!

Your response N00B is: Your ignorance is embarassing. Genealogy is used for a number of purposes beyond the traditional practice of searching family lines as a hobby or for religious purposes
Insulting a FReeper in your "second" post is hardly good form, n00b...what is your other screen name? Are you mormon?
Glad you added that so I didn't have to. The church told the Jews that they couldn't guarantee what the members would actually do, didn't they?
"Are you kidding! Just the whitewash and electric bill alone
are killers. Add in the golden angel and legal bills to
fight with neighbors and were talkin real money!"
I'm not kidding at all, you clearly are since I seriously doubt that in the past 48 hours you have whitewashed your home, installed a golden angle and a bunch of lights, plus received an electricity bill for the cost of running those lights one or two nights.
How disappointing. When some high school wanted to offend whites to get them to change the names of sports teams named after visible minorities they at least had enough commitment to actually rename their team 'The Fighting Whites' design a logo and put it on t-shirts for sale. You really should have learned from that fiasco how your suggestion was foolish, immature and only serves to show how unfounded your objections and claim to feeling offended really are.
Your lack of commitment to this makes me wonder if you greatly exaggerate just how offended you are, or just like having something to feel offended about. If the latter, the good news is that you will be able to feel offended over this for a long, long, long time because the work will go on till the second coming and for a thousand years after that.
"You really should have learned from that fiasco how your suggestion was foolish, immature and only serves to show how unfounded your objections and claim to feeling offended really are."
Never said I was offended personally, Grig. To me, any silly
ceremony that is extra-biblical means nothing, and has no
power to do anything other than get a well-meaning mormon

Well, you certainly can dream! And I am happy that you are
Would you like me to also have an Unsealing Ceremony in your
wife's name this week? We have a BOGO SALE! Buy one ceremony
and get the second FREE!
[and were you planning to call her name to resurrect her??]
I am a Roman Catholic and i really do not care if the LDS baptize the Names of my ancestors. Go ahead because it means absolutely nothing to me. I don't believe in their baptism. It will have no effect on my ancestors.
Who cares....
I don't understand why the LDS doesn't just do a gigantic group baptisimal of all human beings from time immemorial, as potential LDS members if they choose it when they all get to heaven, or for all those there already. The intent seems to be so that families and their lineage will not be separated in heaven because they are not all LDS church members. So, save some time, baptize all the dead and all who will end up dead, in a one-time special ceremony. Why do it one be one? That way, either all other religions (or atheists/agnostics) will be offended by these baptisms, or none will be, as it is such a blanket baptismal generality. The Mormon's problem with uniting in Heaven would be solved, and the rest of the world wouldn't care because it would be meaningless to them. Problem solved.
Either way, isn't it about trying to get that person's soul into heaven?
Does praying for people in Purgatory insult the memories of Jews who died in the Holocaust?
I don't think so. It reflects on those doing the praying rather than on those who have passed on. I would imagine some Jews might be upset by it, but that doesn't impact their memory of their loved one.
And what indulgences have to do with anything is beyond me
Are you saying the Catholic Church never sold indulgences to people so that punishment for sins of those who have passed on could be remitted (in full or in part)? Come on - we both know that occurred.
How would sale of indulgences be different from praying for someone or getting baptized for someone who has passed on thinking that act can somehow change the 'destiny' of that individual?
Like I said, it reflects on the person undertaking the action, not on the person who has passed on.
ACTUAL good? I don't know. For me it is a hobby. Some people collect stuff like lunch boxes or beer cans. Some people drink, some people paint. I love history and geography. Collecting names and dates is interesting, but understanding the historical events and circumstances that have occurred in my family is terribly interesting. From the Bataan Death March to the Protestant-Catholic conflict in Ireland to the Prussian rebellion of 1848-49, family links make these otherwise foreign events more personal for me.
That's nice. However, the tendency of the LDS church to tout the genealogy files as a "great service to mankind" when they are, in fact, a tool for collecting names for the baptism for the dead ritual, is quite mendacious and misleading.
It's a belief either way. What they are doing reflects on them and not on the person who has passed on.
The same is true if Catholics try to pray Jews who died in the Holocaust out of purgatory. The Catholics feel perfectly justified in doing so, but the Jews may well be upset about it.
If one does not believe that the Mormon baptism is valid, then ignore it. Let them waste their time and effort. At least if they are doing that, they aren't trying to convert live people.
I've known since day one what the LDS church uses genealogy records for. As I stated earlier, I have no issue with that because I do not believe for a second that baptism of the dead has any meaning at all.
The point is, the general public does NOT know what the LDS uses genealogy for.
The Catholic church and Jews do.
Thanks for the help on this , I will stop saving to there site.
I never gave the rebaptizing a thought!
Now i'm on a hunt for where Ancestry.com and Family Tree are saving there information as most leads go back to the LDS.
Thanks again for all the info.
Sorry ampu, when in post 123 you talk of "how offensive the mormonism practice of baptizing people of other faiths is" then switch to saying "Never said I was offended personally" you lose all credibility. You can't embrace the idea that is is offensive in one post, then deny being offended in another post and hang on to your integrity.
"Would you like me to also have an Unsealing Ceremony in your wifes name this week? We have a BOGO SALE! Buy one ceremony and get the second FREE!"
And so we go back to square one.
As I said before, go for it, it wouldn't bother me in the least, even if you really did know my name and her name.
Again, don't be half-hearted about it. If you really believe it, put some sacrifice into it. I doubt you will, I doubt you'll even invest 5 minutes to do some cheapo imitation made-up-on-fly ceremony because you don't really believe it has any real purpose or function. Of course it's easy enough to claim you did it, so if you really want me to believe you actually did it, and put some effort into it, post a video of you doing it on youtube.
Denying a couple can be sealed and creating an un-sealing ceremony to un-seal a couple you don't believe are really sealed in the first place take a special kind of double-think that not many people can achieve (thank goodness). You don't believe in it, you just want to try and put the shoe on the other foot, and don't like it when we say it fits just fine with us.
No. It's telling the world that the Jews who died as a result of being Jews wasn't really good enough for God and need fixing in the afterlife.
It is also a direct breech of the agreement the LDS Church made with Jewish groups.
See: Vatican trying to avoid baptism by proxy - from today's Salt Lake Tribune
The practice of LDS baptism for the dead has come under fire from Jewish groups that say the names of Jewish Holocaust victims are still showing up in the church's vast genealogical database for unwelcome baptisms, even after the church agreed in 1995 not to proxy baptize Jewish Holocaust victims.
Make no mistake about it. Jews have asked specifically and repeatedly that the LDS Church stop this practice and have received numerous assurances that it would stop... but then it doesn't.
Which is precisely the reason that Israel, exactly like the Vatican, has gone out of its way to bgin keeping the records from the LDS Church because the LDS Chruch cannot keep it's word.
See: Mormons meet with Jews over baptizing Holocaust victims
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- Mormon and Jewish leaders met Tuesday in New York City to discuss the Mormon church's apparent breach of its agreement not to posthumously baptize Holocaust victims and other deceased Jews.
So, if the LDS Church has agreed to stop the practice, why haven't they?
In what way is breeching their agreement with Jews a moral thing to do?
"...when in post 123 you talk of how offensive the mormonism practice of baptizing people of other faiths is then switch to saying Never said I was offended personally you lose all credibility."
No problem. As a mormon, who by definition views all non-mormons
as apostates, I doubt you ever viewed me or others with any
credibility at all anyway.
Never the less, it is very offensive to those Catholics and
Jews - and I'm neither.
"As I said before, go for it, it wouldnt bother me in the least, even if you really did know my name and her name."
Since you continue to write about this, I suspect it does
bother you... :-) or you wouldn't keep writing to tell me
it doesn't bother you.
"Of course its easy enough to claim you did it, so if you really want me to believe you actually did it, and put some effort into it, post a video of you doing it on youtube.'
I can imagine that if someone took time to make a video
for YouTube, showing an Unsealing Ceremony, it would be
widely viewed and copied by tens of thousands or hundreds
of thousands of mormons who left the cult and became
Christians! For them, it would ceremonialize their freedom
from oppression, legalism and bondage.
Someone should do this for the benefit of the huge ex-mormon
population. Really, it should be an ex-mormon, for authenticity
sake. Color Country, here's a great ministry for you!
Since it would be widely watched by mormons (those still
trapped in the cult), it would also serve another great
CC, what do you think? I think Grig is really onto a great
"You dont believe in it, you just want to try and put the shoe on the other foot, and dont like it when we say it fits just fine with us."
No doubt it fits you perfectly.
OH NO! Since leaving Mormonism, I want nothing to do with ordinances, ceremony, or oaths.
I truly understand what the Bible says when in talks about the "heart" being the "true" indicator of a person. You can swear oaths all day long but it's the heart that counts, and God sees your heart.
Unless the Jews believe they may be right, so what? Sure, it's annoying, but it really isn't a big deal if they are secure in their beliefs. I'd certainly say it was different if the Mormons or Catholics were grabbing Jews off the street and forcing them to be baptised, but that isn't what is happening.
It is also a direct breech of the agreement the LDS Church made with Jewish groups.
I'm not aware of such an agreement, but if that's the case, the issue is breaching the agreement, not that they were doing it in the first place. It amazes me that Jews would get so bent out of shape over this as to demand an agreement in the first place. No one except Mormons actually think it is anything but silly.
So, if the LDS Church has agreed to stop the practice, why haven't they?
Don't know. It is dishonest to say they will and then not follow through. But it is rather amusing that anyone would get bent out of shape over this in the first place. Who cares? (Unless, of course, one believes there is a shred of truth to the LDS reasons for post-death baptism.)

Henderson, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, began her path toward becoming a world-class sprinter at a young age. While still a junior at Morse High School in 2000, she qualified for the U.S. Olympic Team and has since competed in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing — both times helping her 4x400 relay team earn highly-coveted Olympic gold medals.
Although she is now retired from her professional career in track and field, Henderson found a passion for motivating others to become better, faster, stronger and sleeker versions of themselves through her customized boot-camp workouts in convenient outdoor locations throughout the county.
"It brings me so much joy to be able to motivate and help people," Henderson said. "I know how inspiring it is to have someone that really cares."
The newest location for her one-hour class is at Fanuel Park at Mission Bay — a stunning bayside retreat that has everything Henderson needs to help people achieve the utmost potential in their workouts.
"It's right by the beach, so in the morning it's beautiful," she said. "It has everything I need — there's sand, a grass area and concrete. They even have the playground there so we do things like pull-ups on the monkey bars. It changes up the routine. I know people like the gym, but it's San Diego. It's beautiful outside."
Henderson employs basic workouts that utilize a person's own strength and resistance. Her boot camp classes typically start with a warm-up jog and some sort of stretching exercise, followed by what she calls "cardio blast circuits."
"It's not just running," Henderson said of switching up the routine. "They can be step-ups onto a bench, box jumps, jumps over cones, short runs [or] backward running. It's a full-body workout, so there will be an abdominal workout, core and some upper body strength work."
As a three-time Olympian, Henderson knows how to ready a body's fitness level for the main event, whether it be to prepare for the biggest international sports competition in the world or to fit into that great new swimsuit or wedding dress.
"The workouts that I came up with for my classes are based on my workout routines during my off-season. They're fun ways to keep endurance up and stay toned," Henderson said. "If your goal is just to get ready for the summer, the time to start is definitely now."
Henderson's boot camp classes are designed to fit any individual's age or athletic ability, focusing on a spectrum of exercise variations to suit any fitness level. She also talks with each of her clients about individual goals and weaknesses that may have led to poor results in the past to determine a fitness routine that works best for the individual.
"I work with some individuals that are brand-new to exercise, and I work with some athletes that want to get faster and stronger in their sport. No one should feel intimidated," she said. "I talk to them individually about what their goals are. Whether it's to lose five pounds or 25 pounds, I can help them get there."
Although the typical boot camp would elicit imagery of a military-style drill sergeant shouting for 10 more push-ups as you sink deeper into the mud, Henderson assures that is not case at her daily workout sessions.
"Once they get out there, I just want them to have a lot of fun," she said. "I'm not the one that's going to be yelling in your face. I'm out there with you cracking jokes. I'm right there with them. I'm there for encouragement. Instead of just telling them how to do an exercise, I get down there with them to show them."
A consistent workout routine — with some motivation by Henderson — does much more than get her clients in shape. Exercise has the all-encompassing capacity to boost metabolism and energy levels, change eating habits, and promote healthier decision-making throughout the rest of the day, said Henderson.
All you have to do is start.
Group classes take place at Fanuel Park each Tuesday and Thursday at
6 a.m. Henderson urges newcomers to stop by and observe the class or try out a free initial trial class.

Stem cell therapies are being applied to the treatment of autoimmune diseases. A great deal of study needs to be done before there is common use of the treatment. It is hoped that one day some parts of the findings from stem cell research might be used to help MG patients.
Some women may notice fluctuations in muscle strength during the time of their period, and may benefit from hormone therapy to prevent these fluctuations. However, some women do not notice any changes. I am not aware of any effect of menopause on MG.
There is NO valid information to suggest at present that dental disease is involved in MG. Cyclosporine can cause gingival hyperplasia (overgrowth of the gums). Anesthetics or narcotics used for dental procedures may cause weakness in MG patients but most dental procedures are safe for MG patients to undergo. Most patients also require immunosuppression with steroid drugs and may be more likely to develop dental infections. Mercury in a dental amalgram (fillings) does not cause or worsen the disease. You should always discuss any surgical procedure including dental work with your neurologist.
I always recommend to first try to work with your insurance company. The individual who first answers the phone are saying "no" based on guidelines established by the insurance company. However, all insurance companies have review procedures. Please review your policy statement and see what procedure you need to follow to have your unique situation reviewed. Often, the medical director of the insurance company reviews the case and may decide an expert consultation is appropriate. If this still does not work, you should contact the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation for possible assistance.
In the experience of my patients, most procedures are usually safe for patients with good strength. Sometimes plasma exchange before major surgery to improve strength is a good idea. This may decrease the possibility of requiring breathing support (ventilator) after surgery. Close monitoring of the patient after surgery by the surgeon and neurologist is imperative. Pain control also is an important aspect when having a surgical procedure. Based on the type of surgery, activity such as walking, driving a car or lifting objects may be restricted during the recovery period.

There are now over 300 titles on the site, all illustrated childrens' readers. Those with the yellow kite mark have been edited and approved by Laura Gibbs, the voluntary Latin-language editor)
Some of the new readers are targetted to Oerberg, others to the CLC.
My declension reader - based on Comenius' methodology - is proving popular, and several teachers have written to me telling me they are using it in their classrooms, or assigning it for homework study.
You can find it by searching tarheel for 'declensions' in the search box.
One question bothered me about this reader - some people queried why I use my thumb as the first counting finger, and I was criticised for this. I was unsure why.
The difference appears to be a cultural difference in how to number using the fingers. - an article I read today clears the matter up -
A study by the University of Alberta's Elena Nicoladis, an experimental psychologist, and Simone Pika, a lecturer at the University of Manchester, examines cultural differences in the use of hand gestures that could lead to miscommunications or misunderstandings.
Nicoladis drew her interest for the subject from her own lost-in-digital translation experience while riding on Berlin's transit system.
"I asked for directions on the U-Bahn to an older woman and she told me to get off in four stops, so I said, 'ja, vier' and held up my four fingers," she said. "She went off on a tirade saying 'nein, nein, vier' and held up the conventional gesture (using her thumb and three fingers)." The differentiation is because, in Germany for instance, the thumb is automatically counted as a numerical value. Thus, Nicoladis was showing five digits instead of four.
This important little piece of advice could have also saved the life of an unlucky British spy in Quentin Tarantino's new film Inglourious Basterds; in which a character, an English army officer posing as a German SS captain, is exposed when he orders drinks without using his thumb in the count. He and his colleagues are shot for his faux pas.
Nicoladis and colleagues studied one and two-hand counting gestures and cultural differences between Germans and French and English Canadians. While the majority of Germans use their thumb to begin to sequentially count, the majority of Canadians, both French and English, use their index finger as the numerical kick-off point when counting with their hands

The U.S. Forest Service and the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries have partnered to create a new shooting range located in the Conecuh National Forest in south Alabama.
State, federal, and local officials will hold a grand opening ceremony at 10 a.m. on Sept. 26. The public is invited to attend and to enjoy the shooting range after the event.
The facility includes a 10-station, 100-yard shooting range and a 10-station, 50-yard shooting range. Adjacent to the 100-yard shooting range is a shotgun shooting area for people who bring their own clay targets and thrower. With deer season opening in November, the range will provide excellent opportunities for hunters to zero scopes for rifles, handguns and shotguns.
The ranges are wheelchair accessible and have concrete walkways for downrange access to the target lines. The facility is open seven days a week from sunrise to sunset.
A valid Alabama hunting, wildlife heritage, Wildlife Management Area license, or daily U.S. Forest Service permit ($3 per car) is required for all shooting range users between the ages of 16 and 64.
Licenses can be obtained by visiting the license section of www.outdooralabama.com, by calling 1-888-848-6887, or from various outdoors retailers. For a limited time, the daily Forest Service permit will be free.
The Conecuh Shooting Range grand opening also kicks off the 20th anniversary of Public Lands Day, an event that raises awareness of how volunteers can work to improve and restore various public lands in an effort to preserve America's natural heritage.
The 84,000-acre Conecuh National Forest is located in south Alabama in Covington and Escambia counties near the Florida state line. Recreational activities include hunting, hiking, biking, fishing, boating, swimming, a shooting range, camping and wildlife watching. The Conecuh National Forest is also the site of conservation efforts to bolster populations of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, reintroduce the eastern indigo snake to Alabama and restore longleaf pine ecosystems that provide quality habitat for plant and animal populations.

now gosick is another show I was hoping to see get licensed for streamming, so now I have 2 shows, with a possible show to watch this season, keep it up crunchyroll, and can't wait to see what the third show is announced today...
hmm looks like I'm 3 for 4 so far. I'll give Cardfight a look, doesn't really look like my thing but then again neither did Milky Holms. You never know what you got till you see it.
Go Sick however I am looking forward to and glad to see CR got it.
avoiding doing any work today
Glad to see GoSick is on board, and I'll be watching two out of four at least. I'll give Rio - Rainbow Gate a try of course, but I don't like card-game style anime.
Cardfight!! Vanguard? I'm not really into cardgame type animes...
But I am really psyched for GOSICK, I've been looking forward to it. It sounds like a really cool mystery, but hey I could be wrong, but I have my hopes for this one. So far, GOSICK!! and Beezlebub are on my list, can't wait to see what the next releases will be, Im hoping for Kore wa Zombie Desu ka
Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over
Fantastic. Now all that is needed is to get Level E and to charge down the legal gates of Funimation to snatch some Noitamina titles!

Not going to happen, though ~ not without a cross-streaming deal with Funimation. DVD royalties are still worth a heap more dollars than streaming rights, and DVD dub royalties worth the most of all, so what Funimation is willing to dangle a DVD dub distribution license for, Funimation gets.
That may not be true. There are several series currently on Crunchyroll that Sentai Filmworks / ADV have licenced for DVD release. Koihime Muso being one of them. Also look at some recent streams. Lucky Star is licenced by Bandai, Bleach & Naruto are though Viz is memory serves. Sora no Otoshimono was licenced, Gundam 00, Neo Angelique, Eureka Seven, Omamori Himari, Hayate, Maburaho, Code Geass, Haruhi, Steel Angel Kurumi, Kurokami, Digimon, Queen's Blade, Saiyuki, and many others.
Blassreiter, Ikki Tousen, Linebarrels of Iron, Strike Witches, and Tower of Druaga are all current Funimation licences airing on Cruncyroll. Even some Funi titles are on theanimenetwork.com which was started by ADV I believe.
Point is Crunchyroll has the -possibility- of getting the Index / Railgun series among many others. And out of all the legit online streaming sites, Crunchyroll not only has the best quality, but the best bang for your $$$ if you subscribe. I can't stand Hulu and theanimenetwork.com is just slow and sloppy. If everything was confined to Crunchyroll I'd be a happy camper and more than happy to pay double what I do now easily.
You appear to be confusing the issue. First, you are bringing companies other than Funimation into the mix, and titles that Funimation obtained from Geneon after they were already licensed to CR. Next, you are bringing in series that were licensed for simulcast before they were later licensed for DVD distribution, and series that are licensed to Crunchyroll by the DVD distributor.
Let's make this simple: Name one series that was licensed for simulcast to Crunchyroll after Funimation announced a simulcast or DVD license.
That said, we are also talking about companies that might pass on licensing to Crunchyroll or elsewhere for simulcast, in the belief that it might hurt their chances of a DVD license with Funimation. This is more likely to be seen with a company that has an existing relationship with Funimation but not with Crunchyroll. A company that has no pre-existing relationship with Crunchyroll (such as Kadokawa and TV Tokyo) would be more likely to follow this route, especially if they already had a pre-existing relationship with Funimation, and had reason to expect Funimation to license the title.
Yes, that's my real age

Cardfight is not interesting in the slightest so I wont watch it. Gosick sounds interesting but why is it subscription only for the Uk. Nowhere else needs one. I could understand with something like Fairy Tail where it's like that everywhere but why just us.
I'm guessing this means someone is already after the disk rights for it (or has them) in the UK. So the production comitee/ licensee are making it payed only so as to keep those disks worth more; at the request of whoever licensed it (or plans too).
I wonder what the question mark is, hmmm....
Is Watchin Anime...
Also wondering what the ? is, I know there are supposed to be 3 announced today so we'll see, also I thought this was a bit early for announcements so maybe they don't have the third ready yet.
Anyway... cardfight is not on my list for this season but Gosick is so 1/2 for today so far, hopefully they will make it 2/3.
Right now, unless they didn't renew it, I believe Funimation has every noitaminA, which is why they got Kuragehime last season and The Tatami Galaxy the season or so before. Although I heard talk they may not renew it since they are going through a sale, but I haven't kept up on that.
The rest is this simple... Crunchyroll and Funimation = enemies... if Funi has it, CR will not get it, unless CR got it before Funi picked it up... other companies seem to have a much friendlier relationship with CR... Funi has always had their own way of doing things and have usually been behind the curve. They have had their own new shiny streaming site in the works for a couple years now and still can't seem to get it done, and all it will probably be is what we are on now, so behind the curve, again. For Funimation the internet and it's potential in general has been outside their grasp and understanding for years, teaming up with other companies to use said medium? Yeah right... just give up... Funi and CR will probably never be friends.
So far behind on anime... need to catch up

I'm in the UK with a subscription but the Gosick page says it's unavailable in my region. Do you have to have all access membership or something or am I being premature in my worrying?
I'm a UK premium member also and i get the same message, hopfully it will be sorted in time for friday this is one of the shows i wanted to watch.

Anyway, thanks for adding Gosick. Too bad Cardfight Vanguard has very limited region restrictions but i'm really happy with Gosick.
Gag, another card game anime. Oh well.
"Gosick" however is a fun little manga, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with it as an anime.
Koko... Doko?
Good, now CR has confirmed another show that I would subscribe for just by itself. And it'll last two seasons, too!

The original light novels are even better (and the first two have been printed in English).

"Gosick will be available in North and South America, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, the Netherlands, the Middle East, Africa, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brazil and Portugal, and for subscription-based streaming in the United Kingdom and Ireland"
They must have forgotten Poland. One should never forget Poland.
the third anime is probably going to be mitsudomoe zouryouchuu.
But it might not be since crunchyroll got mitsudomoe like the day episode 4 aired.
Just watching some on-going animes
Cardfight kinda reminds me of Yugioh/Bakugun Spinoff and well that might not me to watch it but i'll give it a shot, on the other hand GoSick im looking forward to watch ^^

Drawing on a legacy of beautifully crafted prints, Liberty of London and Herschel Supply Co. have worked together to select the ideal patterns for four of the brand's iconic bag styles. The artistic, splattered Melly print decorates aspects of the Heritage backpack, Novel duffle and Seymour laptop sleeve. The Melly is offset by a rich floral Mitsi Valeria print, which adorns each bag's interior. These vibrant patterns are complimented by neutrals of the main compartments, including black, dark navy, cobalt and khaki. Alongside these full volume styles are two progressive Settlement Kids backpacks. The downsized exclusives feature a combination of the Mitsi Valeria cherry blossom pattern and the a stylized incarnation of the 1933 Betsy floral print. Full-grain leather detailing, seat belt webbing straps, and an internal woven label finish off each piece. The Spring 2014 collection can be found exclusively at Liberty beginning on February 24.

Nature's BarcodeTM. The mark of trust.
In the timber industry, success is built on trust.
Trust between you, your suppliers and your customers. Trust through relationships that you have fostered over years and decades. Trust that you bring to market quality products that consistently meet specifications.
But the industry is changing. New products are coming to market faster. Timber alternatives are taking market share. New regulations compel you to understand your supply chain more than ever before.
You will need to build trust in new products and with new suppliers faster - faster than your competitors - and with the assurance that you can continue to deliver high quality product, consistently, on-time and always in compliance with international regulations.
That is the purpose of Nature's Barcode™ - the mark of trust.
More than compliance
Inconsistent timber species or species substitution can seriously impact product quality and consistency of supply. The Nature's Barcode™ system identifies risks in your supply chain where unknown timber might enter, and implements controls to mitigate those risks. Scientific tests, like DNA analysis are applied to independently verify species claims and control risk of substitution.
Quality can also be affected by origin of harvest. We make sure that product is traceable back to a known origin through ongoing verification. Nature's Barcode™ ensures that a comprehensive set of evidence can be made available to support product claims of origin (and legality) for every shipment.
Time and cost savings
Our teams are located throughout Asia, Africa and South America, meaning that we are always close to your supply chains and familiar with local regulations. This proximity minimizes time and expenses associated with supply chain assessments and product verification.
By relying on our experts as independent third parties, you save time (and your sanity) working through reams of documentation, often in unfamiliar languages.
Wherever possible, we apply scientific testing to verify claims of species and origin. Methods such as DNA, isotope, mass-spectrometry and microscopic analysis are always cheaper and more independent than an auditor.
Flexibility and control
The Nature's Barcode™ system is applied to specific products you bring to market. You can limit verification to a single product line, or apply more broadly.
Our approach is constructive. We work with your supply chain to minimize risk of disruption to supplier operations and product flow. By identifying issues early, we can correct them before they become a problem.
Fees consist of a small upfront charge to cover the costs of the supply chain assessment and set up of the system by our local teams. After that, ongoing verification fees are charged on a pay-as-you-ship basis. If you don't ship Nature's Barcode™ product, you don't pay.
More sales opportunities
If you sell Nature's Barcode™ verified product, we want to help you tell the world about it. The positive information gathered about your product and partners during the verification process is invaluable.
It tells a story about why your product and your supply chain can be trusted to deliver at a consistently high quality, for every shipment. We want to help you communicate that story.
Why you should trust us
Expertise AND NETWORK
Our team of in-house experts and network of associates extends to North and South America, Europe, Australia and Africa, with dedicated DoubleHelix offices in the United States, Singapore and Indonesia. This local presence and expertise enables us to offer on-site assessments at highly competitive rates.

Product Description
"The Prophet, the Shepherd, and the Star "launches the Epic Order of the Seven series, picking up where The Amazing Tales of Maxand Liz left off. The Maker has been building ateam of animal friends for thousands of yearsto be his envoys for pivotal points of history.With this new, critical mission, the team will finally be completed by Messiah and known forevermore as the Order of the Seven. A talking, musical scroll, a pigeon-flyingand-camel-driving mouse, a writing cat, a courageous lamb, and two lion-fighting dogs provide non-stop action in this adventure that brings the Christmas story to life as never before. You will be astounded at the accuracy and perfection of the prophecies and God's unfolding plan to bring Jesus into the world.The seven hundred-year mission begins long before the Nativity, as animal friends Max, Liz, Al, Kate, and Nigel work with Isaiah, who prophesies about the coming Messiah. The team intervenes with the Assyrians that threaten to take Jerusalem and prove Isaiah's prophecies false. They go with faithful Daniel and friends into the Babylonian captivity for the heart-pounding thrills of the fiery furnace and the lions' den. They meet Gabriel as he appears to Daniel, and hide a secret scroll of prophecy for the wise men to someday discover as they study the Star. The book climaxes with the unfolding Christmas story as the animals once again see Gabriel with Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds. Experience the hardships of Mary and Joseph as they obediently accept their calling to parent Messiah. Joyfully watch God provide for their every need through a lovable Jewish rabbi who dares to believe them and an unlikely Roman soldier who protects them. The shepherds and the wise men never know their steps are guided by these small animals that lead them to baby Jesus. Relentless in his pursuit is the evil lion, who seeks to devour them and stop the unfolding events leading to Messiah's birth.

The Tribune's Mark Gonzales answers readers' questions about the 1990 All-Star game patches worn recently by the Cubs, the lack of production from starting pitchers in the eighth spot, and Starlin Castro's role.
Why were the Cubs wearing the 1990 All-Star Game patches on their road jerseys in Cincinnati on April 24? -- Charles, Skokie
The Cubs participated in part of the Reds' festivities commemorating the 25th anniversary of their last World Series title team.
It seems that batting the pitcher eighth has not been productive. In the first two weeks, the Cubs have had a number of runners on base when the pitcher comes to bat -- with no...

Intended for experienced practitioners, plus academics and others interested in innovative ideas in learning evaluation.
This Workshop is designed to introduce two innovative frameworks for learning evaluation, (1) a new approach to learner-feedback questions that enables a focus on learning effectiveness, and (2) an evaluation model inspired by science-of-learning fundamentals and designed as a significant improvement over the dominant model used in workplace learning, the Kirkpatrick-Katzell Four-Level Model of Training Evaluation. Delegates will leave the session with a firm foundation of each—enough to be inspired and enabled to learn more, and capable to introduce these new tools to their organisations.
We are proud to announce OEB's first speakers and sessions discussing the latest trends and developments in the learning and trainingsector. Check back for updates on our agenda coveringa wide range of topics for an even wider variety of learning professionals!

A security clearance is an authorization that allows access to information that would otherwise be forbidden. Security clearances are commonly used in industry and government. Many jobs in information technology require security clearances. When a security clearance is required for access to specific information, the information is said to be classified. Security clearances can be issued for individuals or for groups.
We've collected 30+ certifications for you. Which vendor-neutral and vendor-specific security certifications are best for you? Save time by downloading our list organized by experience level.
In some organizations, corporations, and agencies, there are multiple levels of security clearance. The terms used for the classifications, and the requirements imposed on applicants, vary among countries and entities. In the United States, the two most common government security clearances are known as Secret and Top Secret. In order to obtain a security clearance, a person must meet certain requirements concerning character, criminal record, and credit history. The higher the level of the security clearance, the more strict are the requirements.

It seems a miracle that Chuck has made it to season 5. It's that little show that could, cc apturing the hearts of a small yet ferociously loyal group of fans that somehow kept it chugging along 4 seasons longer than most would have expected. It's a show that proves that sometimes fan campaigns really can make a difference, especially with the help of corporate sponsorship on the part of Subway (also proof that integrated marketing isn't always a show killer).
Chuck has had several episodes that could have served as fantastic series finales. I would have been satisfied to have left Chuck watching down the hallway at the moving marriage proposal. Or even last season watching Sarah and Chuck being driven away after their wedding with the brilliant "as you wish" send off. That is to say that the constant renewal has been a double edged sword. Each time the team thinks their time is up all the cards go down on the table, so when there are calls for more episodes the show needs to be consistently able to adapt and produce.
When I dove into season 5 it was with slight hesitation. Season 4's finale came with a reset button so the question was: will the reset continue to hit the right notes. By putting Morgan into Chuck's shoes would the show be a retread of what came before, or will it provide new and fun adventures? Continue reading

I love it on my 2008 Softie standard. Looks great.
Looks good.And very useful
I've been looking for a solo luggage rack that mounts in a very specific way for my wife's Heritage Softail, and found it here. The fitment guide won't list the Heritage, but if you have switched to a solo seat, this rack will work for you.
Excellent fit and look !!! Thank you !!!
great fit....
awesome product. fit was perfect
A small modification,a hole drilled just above the original hole made this a perfect fit for my 2008 FATBOB. It looks great centered on my fender with my solo seat. THANKS to the Great J&P techs who measured the holes for me!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK
I bought this for my FATBOB. The customer service rep on the phone measure the hole distance for me. It worked with a small modification... an extra hole drilled in to extend the screw hole under the seat. I love the way it looks and it works exactly like I intended for it to. THANKS for all the help in making my bike solo!!!! and COOL!!!!
As advertised. Fit perfectly and is well made.
Fits and looks good
Okay, but mounting with Solo Seat is problematic - requires modification to either rack or seat mounting tabs as both need to be attached at the same spot on fender.
Perfect shape to fit the xl1200c .sold feels well made went behind mustang solo seat with back rest.
Fits perfectly behind my solo seat and mounts with it in the same hole like they where engineered together. Very solid, nice and narrow for sporty bobber
fits, looks good, yada yada.
Got this for a 1999 Sporty, 1200 Custom. Works, fits, and looks great.

Fit my XL883R to go behind a solo seat. Just be aware that the hardware included was not the right thread count for the existing nuts. Quick trip to the hardware store and got the correct ss bolts.
Good product recently went on long ride and it held large travel bag as needed. Thanks
The Milwaukee Twins™ Luggage Racks for Solo Seats (7100221) 2004-07 Sportster Standard has worked out great.
very nice
Great fit for my '08 HD XL883L Sportster!
I love it!! It is the perfect size for attaching a small weekend bag and doesn't look too big on my 883XL...
Great product!! Fast Shipping!!
Good quality product,functional, plus adds to appearance of back fender when using solo seat.
looks good and works great
I love the way they look on my bike-perfect fit. Great quality little rack.
Love it!
Looks great on my bike & fits great! I just wish it had some sort of loops so my bungee cord doesn't slide. My lunch box is sideways by the time I get to work.
This looks real sharp. Functional too.
works great on my tour pack. Looks like the high dollar ones at the dealerships. Thanks
Great part
Awsome and she liked it. Yea
Love it and just ax good as the one Harley makes but a lot less. Love it works great ....that's were I will get all my parts from jp.
needs better directions
fits great great and looks good
Got one for my bike and my wife's. Rode down to Panama City for Thunder Rally (300 mile trip one way.) These worked great for a weekend trip. And for the price, you really can't go wrong.
When I ordered this part, the item is marked as fitting a 2013 Sportster Superlow. However, it does not fit the 2013 and is actually marked on the box as fitting up to a 2009 model. The quality of the part is excellent, and shipping was quick, so I will be returning the part and ordering the correct part from J&P. DUe ot the quality of the part and the fast shipping, I'll be ordering many more parts from J&P.
Nice solid rack! fits my 2013 Iron very well.
Very easy to install and adds to the look of my bike. Chrome rack is of good quality and is perfect for my 2013 Sportster.
Love it looks great on my 2013 883XL with the solo seat. Holes lined right up.
Very satisfied, just what I needed to be able to carry things with me.
Great deal. Fits 2013 Harley XL883L Superlow perfectly.
Great product, easy to install and looks great
Worked perfect Fit 2009 Harley Sportster 1200L Nice Heavy material was really surprised how good this is!
Rack worked out very nicely. Looks great. Didnot mount where P pad went but behind sissy bar
Wish could have been more
Looks great and easy to install saddlebags next
very pleased with the look and fit of this solo luggage rack. no problems fitting on my'14 Sportster Superlow
Bolted right on; fits perfect. Shipped to me in one day. And, I'm surprised at the quality: it's really strong metal and super thick chrome.
Front hole too small , if I enlarge it, chrome is destroyed
love this bunch
Great little rack
Works great and would of been a 5 star except for the fact I had to enlarge the front hole in order to fit correctly. Rear mounting hole was the correct size.
Great product just love the product and the ease of install
Love it.
Don't be misled by the price. Great chroming and the welds are first-rate! Looks great on the Sporty.
Nice rack, simple mount and aesthetically more pleasant than the HD original rack (it contours the rear fender curve)
Looks great on my wife's bike, but not an easy install. My wife's bike is lowered and whenever we have to remove the seat ,it is a full time job putting the rack back on. It is difficult to get under the fender to install the nut on the bolt.We have to remove the shocks every time ,if they could have made a longer bolt that is normally on the seat to use with, this it would be great
10/10 for the price and quality!
The rack looks great, but I wish you would have included a nut or two with the bolts and washers.
Very nice luggage rack, fit on the sporster 48 2010, no problem. Easy install with all the right tools, need long tools in order to attach the screw under the far end of the fender. The sections of the rack that touch the fender are all rubber coated in order to avoid scratching.
A very nice rack for the money. A perfect fit on a 48, even with the spring solo seat. Welds are top drawer and the chrome is a class act.
Nice rack for a great price.
Fit perfectly, looks great. Added a couple black and chrome bungees and it's ready to go!
Fits great and looks great with my solo seat .
Very happy with purchase
the plating was super, it fit perfectly, and installation was a snap
purchased a fender seat nut & truss head screw to attach the luggage rack instead of the difficult to use screw & nut sent with the solo luggage rack
The item seemed of good quality however it was not the correct item to go along with the Mustang solo seat
Great rack at a great price. It fit my finder perfectly and it was easy to install.
The rack did not fit well on my Fatboy Lo. We had to modify the rack for it to fit securely to the bake
it s great this fit and it s beautiful,good service
Perfect fit....perfect look and really handy having the rack for extra goodies.
Doesn't fit just right. A bit loose on the seat bolts. Not a tight fit. A few rubber O rings helped
Bought this rack for my '99 fatboy. They said it wouldn't fit. With a little time it's on and looks way cool. Got heads turning all ready. Thanks JP for the head start. Just wrenchin' my scoot
good quality but doesn't fit. had to bend tabs at seat to fit tight an not rattle, and be loose. Rear hole for bolt had to be modified to even get the bolt started. would not purchase again.
The solo luggage rack was bought to be attached to my fatboy lo 2010. The fit was not spot on. Would have helped if there is somekind of a washer material that holds the rack to the 2 screws at the seat. So there. Would have been better if it comes in black..
Good product. It fits well, good chrome plating. Highly recommend.
Did not fit my bike with a Corbin Solo seat.
Great Item... Worked great on my solo setup.
Great luggage rack. Fits my Fat Bob great.
quality rack fits well on my street bob or my fat bob
thanks, all suitable
Looks really good
rack is well made and a simple fit looks great on bike
Excellent, sturdy rack... Easy installation, literally fitted within minutes! looks great on my 08 FXD
Was a great investment and thanks to the staff member who suggested it with the seat.
Rack looks great. Had to drill 1 hole to mount. Really simple. Also very pleased with the prompt delivery. Recieved my order in 3 days. Very pleased with product and company
Well built and flawless chroming. Perfect fit!
Looks really smart on my 2008 dyna solo,love it ,gives the bike that old school look. Quick and easy to fit
Exactly what I was looking for, Rugged and reasonably priced. I like how easy it is to detach for when I change to my 2 up seat. it also comes with rubber stick ons so you don't scratch your fender.
This product will fit your Motorcycle
This product does not fit your Motorcycle.

Tony Gwynn "sounded good" when he spoke to his younger brother, Chris, this afternoon after the Hall of Famer had surgery to remove a malignant tumor from inside his right cheek.
"He sounded good, he really did," Chris told this blog. "It was a long night, but the outcome was pretty good."
A team of surgeons worked on Tony for 14 hours. Removing the tumor also required the removal of a nerve, but doctors grafted a nerve from Gwynn's shoulder into his cheek.
"I'm already ahead of schedule," Tony told ESPN.com this afternoon from Thornton Hospital at the University of California-San Diego, just 12 hours after surgery. "Last time, I couldn't lift my eye or close my mouth. This time, my eye can close, my mouth can close. I feel good. I'm talking better than I did last time."
Tony has attributed the cancer to his use of smokeless tobacco for his entire 20-year career with the Padres and a decade after that.
Twice during his career, ESPN.com reported, doctors found benign growths on the right side of his face, but Gwynn still kept "dipping." Then, in August 2010, a biopsy showed a malignant growth inside his mouth, and on Aug. 31, Gwynn had surgery to have most of it removed.
Removing all of the tumor would've required removing the nerve. Instead, doctors targeted the tumor's remnant with chemotherapy and radiation.
Chris said that Tony was checked for cancerous growth every week, then every month and "nothing was found." The malignancy was discovered within three months of the previous exam, Chris said.
"You're always concerned," Chris told this blog, "but I think I was more concerned the last time, because we had more of a road-map this time.
"This time," he said, "they knew cancer was there. They had all these doctors in place. They did a great job. Man, it sounds like it went really well."
Chris, who played 11 seasons in the major leagues, wasn't a user of smokeless tobacco -- to which Tony has said he became addicted.
"I never even tried it once," said Chris, who played and scouted for the Padres. "I'm just happy (Tony) is doing well."
Tony intends to resume his duties as San Diego State's baseball coach this season. The Padres are open to his return as a color analyst on their telecasts.
After talking to Tony today, Chris jokingly told Tony's wife, Alicia: "I don't know how you're going to keep him pinned down and have him sit down and not do anything."

Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko has insisted he knew he would score against Arsenal, despite missing a first-half penalty, during his side's comfortable 2-0 victory at the Emirates.
Laurent Koscielny was shown a straight red card after felling the striker inside the area, with the Bosnian's effort saved by Wojciech Szczesny.
But City's top goalscorer this season eventually did hit the target, adding to James Milner's 21st-minute opener, to keep up pace with league leaders Manchester United.
"I didn't score [the penalty] but I knew I was going to score afterwards because I told myself 'OK you missed the penalty, now you have to work hard and try to score from another chance," Dzeko told Sky Sports.
The 26-year-old has found himself in and out of the City starting line-up this season despite the 10 league goals to his name already this campaign.
However, due to the injuries to Sergio Aguero and Mario Balotelli, Dzeko has found himself a firm fixture in Roberto Mancini's starting XI.
"It's very important for my confidence to know you're going to play the next game," he admitted. "I think I've started the last four games and I think I've scored four goals so I'm happy.
Manchester City are 3/1 with William Hill to win the Premier League
Fellow goalscorer James Milner shared his team-mate's delight at the victory over Arsenal, City's first away at the London club since 1975.
"It's a tough place to come and we haven't had much success here in recent years," offered the England international. "We wanted to put that right and we got three points."
On his goal, Milner said: "I saw a little pocket to run into and it was a nice weight of pass and I thought I'd have a go. Luckily enough, it went in."
Javi Garcia was handed a rare start in midfield due to the absences of Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri, and he confirmed that United's victory against Liverpool earlier in the day had given him and his team-mates an incentive to take all three points at the Emirates.
"It was a very important win," Garcia told the club's official website.
"The team worked very hard and it was a very important three points to continue to go forward. For us it is a very important three points because United won today and we need to fight until the end with them."

Jamming Pump Actions?
I've always had a problem with short stroking my R870's and other pumps. It ends up to where the shell gets stuck during feeding because I apparently didn't pull the pump all the way back. I know you are supposed to wrack it with authority, and I'd practiced several thousand rounds at the range no problem.
But when I'm hunting, I guess under the stress of trying to shoot, I don't pump it all the way. It's getting to the point where I don't even trust myself with pumps anymore for home defense cause when the chips are down and the stress is high I jam it, no matter the pump shotgun and no matter how much I practice.
Should I switch to a semi auto shotgun? Is there a semi auto shotgun I could use for both dove hunting and home defense?

Any semi can do both chores, however whether you can find a short barrel will depend on maker and your needs.
If HD to you means hunkering down in one room and calling 911, then barrel length does not matter.
IF HD to you means navigating a house with narrow hallways, then that is something else

Sounds to me like you might want a beretta 391?
Although may be a bit long for HD

Getting used to "cycling with authority" is just a discipline you need to practice so it is second nature...
Junior had a new Super Mag Express 870 and he was getting cycle failures nearly every round... So I watched him, had him load me a tube full and showed him how these actions need manipulated...
If you try to simulate the speed and force of a semi, it will likely be nearly flawless...

I have had a problem with Ithaca 37's over the years only when wearing heavy and thick coats that evidently made my pumping arm too short for a full stroke. Maybe a shotgun that does not fit the shooter would have the same problem. Obviously a high stress tactical situation makes all kinds of misfeed stuff happen.
Practice, train, and practice some more.

If I was switching to a semi for dove hunting and home defense, I'd be tempted to get something like this. LINKY
That 21 inch barrel would be just the ticket for both dove hunting and self defense. Assuming, of course, proper fit.

FN SLP MKI. Comes with a 22-inch barrel and you can get extra barrels in 26 or 28-inch lengths. Takes about 2-3 minutes to change the barrel. The barrels use standard Invector chokes so choke tubes are easy to find. Send the gun to SRM Performance for the SureCycle system and have them do the "reliability tuneup" and you'll have a soft shooting, totally reliable, semi-auto shotgun.
