Zero Hedge
Monday, December 7, 2009
The sad state of affairs in gold land: the premium for the 1 ounce Gold Eagle coins has expanded from $59 to $99, Krugerrands are not available for sale in most places, and this most recent development just out of the US Mint: the one-tenth ounce American Eagle inventory at the mint has been depleted, almost instantaneously after the coin was made available for purchase. This occurred the day after the mint announced the release of fractional Eagle Gold Bullion Coins in one-half ounce, one-quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce weights. As Coin News reports:
The Mint sold 345,000 coins to its authorized purchasers for a total of 58,000 ounces of gold. That, without a single one-ounce size leaving Mint doors.
Sales of 2009 one-ounce sized gold eagles are expected to resume in "early December" while the production of the 2010-dated American Eagle Gold and Silver One Ounce Bullion Coin are expected to begin in Jan., 2010.
So no sooner did the Mint start selling the new 1/10 ounce denominated gold pieces, than they ran out.
The US Mint ran out of one ounce 2009 American Gold Eagle coins last week which caused their temporary suspension, and now the fractional sizes that were just launched are either gone or being allocated following record one-day sales.
This is the notice sent out by the Mint to authorized purchasers:
Due to strong demand, the American Eagle Gold Tenth-Ounce Coin inventory was depleted. The inventory for the half-ounce and quarter-ounce coins remains very limited. We will offer the remaining half-ounce and quarter-ounce coins for sale via the United States Mint standard allocation process.
And indicative of the massive gold demand, the 24-karat one ounce Buffalo coin inventory was depleted as well:
"The United States Mint has depleted its inventory of 2009 American Buffalo One Ounce Gold Bullion Coins," the US Mint stated in a memorandum to authorized purchasers of the precious metal coins. "No additional inventory will be made available. As additional information becomes available regarding 2010-dated American Buffalo One Once Gold Bullion Coins, you will be notified."
Following their launch on Oct. 15, the selling pace was fierce. US Mint figures have the 2009-dated coins at 198,000. By comparison, the Mint has said 172,000 were sold in all of 2008 while 167,500 were purchased in 2007.
It appears the 79% of the US population that disapproves of Bernanke and is asking for his head, is not sitting idly and every single day continues expressing its "vote" of no confidence in the Chairman by making gold increasingly scarcer. In the meantime, the massive demand for silver coins is also starting to hit the Mint, which as of today had none in store.

Pretending That Instructions To Print A Gun Aren't Out There Won't Change The Reality That They Are
from the why-can't-our-government-live-in-reality dept
And then the US government freaked out, as the State Department argued that the company that put the files online may have violated export control laws.
The government says it wants to review the files for compliance with arms export control laws known as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, or ITAR. By uploading the weapons files to the Internet and allowing them to be downloaded abroad, the letter implies Wilson's high-tech gun group may have violated those export controls.Remember, this file has already been downloaded over 100,000 times. It's not going to be removed from public access. That's reality. But the laws that demand we pretend to be stupid include pretending that something like this is stoppable, when plenty of sites are still making them available.
"Until the Department provides Defense Distributed with final [commodity jurisdiction] determinations, Defense Distributed should treat the above technical data as ITAR-controlled," reads the letter, referring to a list of ten CAD files hosted on Defcad that include the 3D-printable gun, silencers, sights and other pieces. "This means that all data should be removed from public access immediately. Defense Distributed should review the remainder of the data made public on its website to determine whether any other data may be similarly controlled and proceed according to ITAR requirements."
As Rick Falkvinge notes, the whole idea of pretending you can delete these files from existence and keep it under control suggests a very confused US government. Not only is the concept impossible, but even stepping in like that has only drawn much more attention to the files. Falkvinge points out that this highlights how the US government is "unfit to set and shape Internet policy, due to their simply not understanding of what the internet is and how it works." Of course, that hasn't stopped them before.
I recognize that a 3D printable gun freaks some people out. But just because some people are freaked out, it doesn't mean we should deny reality and pretend it's possible to disappear these plans when it's clearly not. I don't know about you, but I prefer a government that deals in reality, rather than one that chooses to act stupid on purpose.

2013 and earlier-Honda Accord Prices Paid and Buying Experience

Bay Area shoppers. Anderson Honda sent an email coupon for an extra $250 off their "already low" internet price. ...just passing it along.0

Appreciate the reply! I know someone who got a similar run-around from Crown. He ended up driving to the Triad to pick up a new Honda last Spring. I always ask for OTD prices, but have found some stealerships like to tiptoe around those figures.
@vabeach3 said:
Those NC dealer prices were for the car only, not drive-out. The only NC dealer I emailed back and forth several times was Crown, who initially said they would match my Maryland prices and "would not lose a deal over price." Then they came back at 29,896 including Virginia TTL, which was 1,900 over my Maryland prices.0

Thanks for the information and advice. Will follow up when process is finished.0
Looks like they are dealing in MD.
Just got $26,590 from a Baltimore dealer plus $790 freight, 6% MD tax and $235 in titles and registration for a 2014 EX-L v6 with wheel locks and splash guards. No nav. Looking forward to the new V6 under 30k OTD including taxes. Happy new year1
Hey thanks to all of you that contribute on these boards. The pricing information you all shared saved me a lot of money. Hope some of you find mine helpful too.0
Oh, this is fun. The waiting game. I would have expected quick call backs, but it seems that perhaps the dealers are sitting on my offers to determine if they need the business enough to bite. One internet manager told me as much, telling me they couldn't get close to my target at this point as they needed to sell 120 cars before hitting their incentive. So he said he would call me back if they get closer to that point and maybe he would have more room to deal. I may or may not wait, depending on what others come back with.0
I too have been told by more than one dealer that supposedly none of what SoCal dealers are close to reaching the mark. Best offers so far are @ 22,400 to 23,200 for the EX.0
LIL / Carbuyer...
Sit back and wait after your contacted dealerships have your most agressive offer. Trust me they will be considered and dealerships ready to sell today or tomm will except or counter offer.
I will be starting my phone calls at 5 pm tonight. I'm prepared to wait til late afternoon tomm before i lower my price if dealers and me a far apart on price..

I feel your pain carbuyer. I just had breakfast (a banana lol) and it's 2 pm. Been on the phone all morning with only a few return emails, some of which were for different cars, from an internet person. Seems most places just dump you on a salesperson.
I emailed a dealer close, one I visited twice already, and they refuse to give me any numbers over the phone. I hate to cross them off my list because of the convenience but they are royally pissing me off. It does seem that the car we want is hard to find: an EX-L 4 cyl with Nav is black with ivory interior. They say hardly any cars 4 cyl come with Nav. I forgot how difficult it is to buy a Honda. My Acura and Lexus purchases interestly enough were easier because of very competitive salespeople and all the cars coming loaded.
I hope I don't need a wig after this. Hubby likes my blonde hair which is getting ripped out as we speak lol.
Well we still have tomorrow.
If the lowest offer I currently have works out I would be ok with it, as it is nearly 2k off of invoice with no incentives or rebates and they know I would not be financing through them. I do believe they would be high pressure and try to get me to buy warrantees and such. Any suggestions for combating that?? The next two offers however are not quite as good -only about 1,100 to 1,300 off of invoice. Many of the other offers received were between 23,500 to 24,300 (basically at invoice!)0
I am in a similar boat as the dealership with the best numbers now only wants to chat over the phone or in person and doesn't want it to be emails (or I'm thinking in writing anymore). They have a more convenient location (but as a negative won't allow me to have car until credit union check clears their bank).0
Ask each dealership that you are apart in price if you finance thru them will they meet your number.. worst case you pay off dealer loan when that 1st bill comes. I always tell dealers i will finance thru you if thats what it takes to meet my number.
As far a warranty stuff or anything they try to sell you in that back office.. Say No case closed.
Be patient your to lower numbers most likely will go up.. Close tonight or tomm. Do not be afraid to run your poker game to tomm late afternoon.. dealers always give in first.

A couple of things to know.
Most "Internet Managers" are nothing more than a salesperson. The veteran sales people usually want nothing to do with "Internet Shoppers" since most of the "leads" and calls are a big waste of time.
No smart store will EVER give you a number over the phone to shop all over town. Those that do are apt to "lowball" you or neglect to include something.
Lastly, they are correct. That car you want is an oddball that few stores will order. With all of the Garmins and smart phones out there, NAVI's just don't sell very well so few are ordered.
Being a bit flexible on colors and equipment will get you a better deal. the best deals can ALEAYS be made on in stock cars.
It really doesn't have to be a difficult process but some shoppers (and stores) can certainly make it one.
I do wish you well!0
Lil and all forum members.. THis is important
You have to talk directly to the internet manager NO MORE EMAILING.. Thats how you close your deal. At crunch time its personal you and him/ her.. By speaking to him you know if that dealership will meet or come close to your deal.. No more email. Emailing gets you where your at right know.. Time to make dealers comitt. Getting there lowest price..
If a manager tells you Lil 1300 below is my final offer take it or leave it.. You know for 1300 you have a sale. Tell manager you will consider his offer and if the other dealerships dont meet your number to buy today you will call him back. Do let them know you have better offers before hanging up.. This is how you negotiate and play the game. Put in his/ her mind they needs to do better to earn your business, Tell the dealers that are closer to you home you would prefer to buy from them and give them your business and not traveling further.. but you will if they wont deal or compete in price..
You are all smart buyers and have learned alot about buying.. Apply it.. Your at the goal line buying today or tomm. Get in the end zone.. You have the most buying leverage today and tommorow..
sounds like a great football speech........LOL
I'm pulling for you Lil and Diva...... good luck girls keep the faith
2016 BMW X-5 35i, 2013 Genesis 5.0 R-spec, 2012 MB ML3501
@Diva, I understand as we are in the same general market area. I also am looking at a car/color combination that only about one out of every four dealerships seems to have in stock and then they usually have only one car. This definitely does reduce some bargaining power, but if you can find the car in stock, they still will want to get it out of their inventory. If you want a black or white LX CVT, you probably wouldn't have any trouble at all :-).
I am hopeful that I am getting very close to finalizing a deal. I think the dealerships are very busy and they are taking there time getting back to people, but they generally will.
Best of luck with your transaction.0

Hi everyone,
So as I mentioned Saturday, I came home with my 2014 Honda Accord EX-L CVT sedan, and I said I would come back and post my price so here it is, car including destination was $25,500 + taxes and fees bringing my OTD price to $27,500 flat. I didn't get Flex cash as the dealers I spoke to had run out already. Those that did have some, were asking between 28k-29k drive out for the same car. I really wanted the accessories that were on the car but refused to pay for them. After some back and forth, the dealer ended up including them for free. Also got window tint too! I don't know how well I did on my deal, but the Houston, TX market for Hondas is a tough one. When I purchased my 2013 Kia Optima SX Turbo over the summer I got them down exactly $6,000 off MSRP of $32,160, including incentive + 0% APR for 60 months.
I want to thank @brian125 @veers and everyone else who provided insight to make this possible. Thank you for doing what you do! Really appreciate it. I wish I lived in states that were giving better deals on Hondas but I guess each market is different.0
happy holidays
The only problem with a seasoned salesman who does not work in that internet dept or is not the Mgr... ...... he/she cant close the deal by phone . You would need to go down to the dealership to meet with him.
folks in here are trying to buy 1 to 2 hours from there home so its a waste of time going that route. To be lied to or get the run around.
If you find good dealerships with Internet dept's you could buy or close the deal on the phone. Then go down to pick up the car.. I'm sure you know the drill. you still need to play that pricing game to get that dealers bottom line.. Guys in your business are very good at wearing people down and distracting them from pricing or twisting the truth. Not all but alot in your business do this..
For most folks calling your area's dealers and making the best price out of the lot is the norm.. For others they want a better price. Those folks need to buy thru a dealerships Internet mgr who is usually a good speaker or computer guy.. Regardless they have the authority to close the deal by phone and send a fax buyers order to me or a customer.
I have bought well over 1000 cars in many years of doing this. Most of my trans-actions are by fax.
Dealerships that are not internet friendly will find times passing them by very soon.

I want to buy a 2014 Accord EX. I'm in MI and so far got several quotes:
1. 22,997 + dest. + tax + ttl + dealer fee = 25741. (there are other 2-3 quotes which are close to this number).
2. 25090 + plate = about 25200.
The second dealer didn't tell me the breakdown of its offer but I'm wondering whether the second one is really possible? I'm in Michigan with 6% sales tax.
Please advise.0
@ahightower said:

I've got the car and I am enjoying it, but this was the worst car buying experience I ever had, should have went in there more prepared the price I quoted was not the OTD price plus they pressured me into a EW which turned out to be one those 3rd party deals not honda cares like I had on my previous honda. I have canceled that and the amount will be applied to my principal. They also low balled me on my trade in blue book on that was 15,039 they gave me 14,000. What can I say other than live and learn.0
I requested a quote for a 2014 Black Accord Sedan LX CVT from Hendrick Honda in El Cerrito. They give me an invoice at 19,766. For the out the door price they gave me an offer of 22709.93. I was wondering if it is a good deal?0
@ctr123 said:
Thanks a lot for sharing the info. Anderson quoted me $100 more. Is it reasonable to ask for 20,000 or 20,100 for LX CVT.

Hi ,
It is notoriously difficult to find best deals in Texas. I live in Austin and have mailed Honda dealers in Dallas, San Antonio, San Marcos for quotes for 2014 Honda Accord EX-L. The best I could get was 28000 OTD.
Any folks from Austin who have had better luck with Honda dealers?

Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) Stock Storming The Castle Today
Trade-Ideas LLC identified
- AEM has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $108.2 million.
- AEM has traded 2.2 million shares today.
- AEM is trading at 1.51 times the normal volume for the stock at this time of day.
- AEM crossed above its 200-day simple moving average.
'Storm the Castle' stocks are worth watching because trading stocks that begin to experience a breakout can lead to potentially massive profits. Once psychological and technical resistance barriers like the 200-day moving average are breached on higher than normal relative volume, the stock is then free to find new buyers and momentum traders who can ultimately push the stock significantly higher. Regardless of the impetus behind the price and volume action, when a stock moves with strength and volume it can indicate the start of a new trend on which early investors can capitalize on. In the event of a well-timed trading opportunity, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends and a disciplined trading methodology should help you take the first steps...

If you are thinking that the Buffalo Bill Days celebration was only on the second weekend in September, think again.
If you are thinking that the Buffalo Bill Days celebration was only on the second weekend in September, think again.
There is another whole weekend of bicycling activities happening on the third weekend in downtown Leavenworth, beginning with the annual Buffalo Bill Century Ride on Saturday.
Although it is called the Century Ride, which means that there is a 100-mile route, there are also shorter routes for those who do not feel up to riding 100 miles in one day. This particular bicycle celebration of Buffalo Bill Days has been around since the beginning days of the party in Leavenworth. In fact, for many years, it was the only remnant of Buffalo Bill Days that remained as an annual event, thanks to the Leavenworth Bicycle Club.
The good news is that all of the money earned from this event goes toward supporting and promoting bicycling activities in Leavenworth County. In fact, this weekend is the only fund-raising event for the club, so I highly recommend that you participate in some way to help support the club so that they can continue to do good things for kids and adults in the county.
The club has bought new bicycles for the Leavenworth Youth Activity Centerís Trips For Kids chapter and often provides volunteers to ride with the kids on their Wednesday after school bike rides in town. The club also has supported the regular and very popular Late Night Under the Lights kids bicycle races over near Warren Middle School by buying the series trophies and again providing volunteers.
On Sunday, I am very pleased to learn that the Santa Fe Trails Bicycle and Coffee Shop has brought back the downtown Leavenworth Criterium. For several years, this criterium was the Kansas State Championship race. I am not sure about this year.
A criterium is basically a loop race where the riders travel the same route for a number of laps depending on their level of expertise and experience. The good news about that is that bystanders can pick out one spot and enjoy the race without having to keep moving around. Some people like to watch from a corner. Some prefer to be near the top of an uphill climb because the riders are going a bit slower. Some prefer to watch them careen downhill and hope that no one crashes at the turn at the bottom of the hill.
For the most part, if you go to Haymarket Square, you will be at or near the control point of the races while the route winds around on downtown streets which are temporarily closed to traffic and parking on Sunday. It is a shame that everything is closed on Sunday while the bicycle racers and their families are here, but if they are interested, they can come back to shop sometime when the shops are open. At least there will be quite a few visitors in town for the races.
There is going to be lots and lots of live music of all sorts on the second weekend for Buffalo Bill Days, but you can almost be guaranteed that Roger will show up with music playing for at least the criterium races on the third weekend Sunday.
For my part, since I am a local club member I will not be riding the century as I will be helping to grill hot dogs at the Celebration SAG near the Riverfront Community Center on Saturday. I recommend that even if you do not want to ride 100 miles or even 20 or 30 miles, that you come on out for the events on Saturday and Sunday. If nothing else, you will see people dressed in some very colorful outfits and having a great time.

Not really interested for some reason(prob cuz i have too much I haven't read), but the extra effort the TC put in his initial post makes me think I should check this out quick.
*goes and bookmarks page
Actually the title reminds me of another "incest"(u know what the quotes mean >.>)/comedy/romance manga called " Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki ja Nai n da kara ne", which i LOVED(the female chars were subtly perverted ), but unfortunately only 5 chaps came out.

Meant to say this other day when I found out but it slipped my mind.
Westlo had posted something in the Medaka Box thread that caught my attention
didn't know it was so popular but thats good news to me, hopes of seeing a anime aren't so bad
Something I've been thinking about about this series is how for me, it's alot different than well pretty much every other sister/brother manga I've seen in that theres no blatant complex shown(which I kinda expect, just something thats come to be over the years)
For now it's just simply a brother and sister bettering their sibling relationship with each other, if the complex aspect comes in later then great why not but for now it's very refreshing for me, def puts it above the rest.
Oh and I found out theres a Drama CD coming out in March.
It has Ayana Taketatsu as Kirino and Yuichi Nakamura as Kyousuke.
Well Yuichi Nakamura as Kyousuke would be A typical typecasting but seems fitting
What really interests me is Ayana Taketatsu as Kirino, sounds like it would work perfectly, certainly better than typecasting Miss Rie for the role which I don't want to see.
p.s Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki ja Nai n da kara ne is pretty good but when the childhood freind shows I just dropped my shoulders and let out a sigh.
Not sure if I might be getting bored of some cliches showing up in bro/sis series but just how I felt when it happened -__-

This is a really fascinating little show ... let me join the party here.
I don't quite agree with the Kyousuke = Kyon comparison, since Kyousuke has a much lower self-esteem compared to Kyon, so he comes over as much more whiny and (IMHO) a trace annoying. Kyon never had problems with his self-esteem, so his remarks come over as much more biting.
Nevertheless, I expect to see development and growth from ALL characters, and I'm intrigued by the angle they're taking on the sibling issue. Particularly since I happen to have a little sister with the same age difference, too.

After a few months, translated chapter 3 is out. Get it at Himatsubushi website, as usual. Thanks again, HMT!
Overall, pretty interesting. A couple of characters are introduced, most mysterious being Saori. Pretty sure that her extreme otaku-like appearance and manner of speaking is unlike her 'true' self, as its obvious she chose to do those so that the group members won't be wary of her (like they were of imouto and kuruneko). After all, her empathy of others is close to being telepathic, so she must have planned all this ahead of time.
Which ties in to my favourite line of the chapter (which is a no brainer considering me)...
In any case, the whole situation kinda makes me feel bad for imouto-san, for once. Guess she hasn't heard of the saying, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Kyou actually has the common sense to recognize this, but him being him, he keeps it to himself. For all your retorts in the previous chapters, and you couldn't mention the fact that her apparel isn't suitable? What a douche...
Of course, as always, its Kyou's tsukkomi-like remarks that makes this series for me ("What high class lady?" "This is obviously pre-packaged stuff!" etc.). Now if he only actually says some of these out loud (like imouto's clothes this chapter), instead of keeping it to himself, half the problematic situations wouldn't have surfaced. But then again, it woudn't be Ore no Imouto if he actually said them lol...

Saori is a wonderful person. I wish she got more character development, although I think it's upcoming in v6. Kuroneko and Kirino's antics were great. In Ch3, I didn't really care much about Kuroneko, but she had grown on me since v4.
Man, I can't wait for v6. Kirino really needs to show more dere!

1) It's a translation.
2) It's a light novel's translation. What are you expecting? Haruki Murakami?
3) It's a light novel's barely edited translation -- the editor says he or she only looked over the translation once. Of course it's going to be rather literal -- and that includes the rather awkwardly placed "work-in-progress" notes, which weren't in the original novel.
4) What is so offensive about typical-teenager Kyousuke?

I didn't say anything about being offensive or offended. I said I feel really bad for Japan, as in sympathy. I don't think it's necessary to go into the failings of the usual "average japanese male protagonist", but this one seems to be failing especially hard, and the author seems to expect the audience to relate. Couple that with whatever popularity this series has gained and you get my previous reaction, "ugh."
Also, "..." guy. If you disagree with something I said, that's fine, but it's really hard to discuss "...." That's why the character limit is there in the first place.

Seeing Kyosuke treat Kirino like an ACTUAL sister, and treating Manami like an ACTUAL best friend, despite being a girl, is so darn refreshing. Real cute how he was treating Manami in chap 7; they felt very close, and something about him offering to buy her something just rubbed me the right way.
I expect in chp 9 for Kyo to take the blow for that game that Kiri's gotten caught with.

The Lady Bisons spotted New Mexico four runs and then played catch-up the rest of the way in a 12-8 loss Friday in the first round of the Buzz Tournament at Georgia Tech.
New Mexico scored one run in the first and added three in the second. The Lady Bisons bounced back with two runs in the third. But New Mexico put six runs across the plate in the bottom of the third for a 10-2 advantage. The Lady Bisons came back with two more runs in the fifth to trim the lead to 10-4. Once again the Lady Bisons responded with four runs in the sixth to cut the lead to 10-8, but New Mexico iced the game with tow more runs in the bottom of the sixth.
In the third inning catcher Jennifer Allsup singled to the pitcher with one out. Designated hitter Kristie Sirus and right fielder Leigh Little walked to load the bases. Left fielder Julia Davidson singled to left field to bring home Allsup and Kristie Sirus.
Kristie Sirus was the first runner on base in the fifth with a walk. Abigail Craig entered the game as a pinch-runner for Kristie Sirus. Center fielder Lauren Dortwegt grounded out to move Craig to third. Leigh Little walked. Davidson connected for her second RBI- single to left center to score Craig. Leigh Little moved to third on a wild pitch. Davidson went to second on the same wild pitch. First baseman Heather Collins pounded a single down the left field line to score Leigh Little.
Allsup singled up the middle to start the sixth inning. With one out Dortwegt singled down the left field line. Samantha Little entered the game as a pinch-runner for Allsup. Davidson was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Kelly Ninemire took the mound for New Mexico and gave up a grand slam to Collins, the first batter she faced.
The Lady Bisons finished the game with eight hits off of three New Mexico pitchers. Caley Peterson started the game and gave up four hits and five runs in four innings. Tori Rogers came on in relief and allowed three hits and two runs in 1 2/3 innings. Ninemire closed out the game, giving up only the grand slam by Collins in 1 1/3 innings.
Kim Jacobson started on the mound for 2 2/3 innings, giving up nine hits and 10 runs, eight earned. She walked four and struck out one.
Christen Campbell closed out the game for the Lady Bisons. She allowed three hits and two runs, both earned, while striking out one and walking one in 3 1/3 innings.
The Lady Bisons were scheduled to play Centenary in the second game Friday.

Luck has not been on the side of Lipscomb's Lady Bisons.
For the second game in a row, a shot in the closing seconds has spelled the difference between victory and defeat. This time around it was a 69-68 loss at Kennesaw State Thursday night in the first Atlantic Sun game of the season at the KSU Convocation Center. It was also the first overtime game for the Lady Bisons, 0-5 on the season overall. Kennesaw State is in its first year in the A-Sun, making the move from NCAA Division II.
Despite having lost the last two games by a combined total of three points, including a 76-74 loss to Memphis, Lipscomb Coach Frank Bennett is seeing signs of improvement.
"We really battled throughout the game," said Bennett. "We did a lot of good things throughout the course of the game."
The Lady Bisons started the game strong, taking a 16-8 lead at 12:44 on a lay-up by freshman forward Miriam McAlister. But Kennesaw State chipped away, scoring seven unanswered points to take a 26-24 lead with 3:31 left in the half. The Lady Bisons went into intermission trailing 31-27.
In the second half the Lady Bisons came back strong in the second half scoring six unanswered points of their own to take control once again at 33-31. The game was close the rest of the way with the Lady Bisons finally building a 58-54 lead with 2:15 left to play.
Danielle Bates pulled Kennesaw State within two points at 585-6 on a lay up at 1:30. They tied the game at the buzzer on a jump shot from the free throw line by Shavonder Clarke to send the game into overtime. Clarke led all scorers with 37 points.
"We were in control for a lot of the second half," said Bennett. "We were solid defensively most of the second half."
The Lady Bisons were in a position to win in both the final seconds of regulation and overtime. Four straight turnovers in the final two minutes set the stage for a 58-58 tie in regulation.
"We were one possession away from finishing it," said Bennett. "The last two minutes of a game we need to remember that possession of the ball and the clock are the most important things. "
In overtime the Lady Bisons twice led by four points. A 3-point shot by Ashley Johnson with 11 seconds left proved to be the winning basket. Lipscomb freshman forward Jillian Partin took a lay up shot in the lane with three seconds left that missed its mark.
"She got the ball and took it down the court into the lane," said Bennett. "We got what we wanted with the play, but the shot didn't go in. We have to finish games."
Two areas the Lady Bisons must improve on are cutting down on turnovers and making free throws in crucial situations. The Lady Bisons missed four straight free throws in the final 34 seconds. They hit only 16-of-30 shots for the game. The Lady Bisons also made 43 turnovers while Kennesaw State made 30.
"It's amazing that with so many turnovers it was only a one-point game," said Bennett.
The game was significant in that it marked the return of senior center Katie Beth Pate who had missed the last three games of the season with a back problem. Pate earned her first double-double of the season with 17 points and 12 rebounds, both leading numbers for the team. She also made a pair of blocked shots. Rounding out the scoring as the Lady Bisons placed four players in double figures for the second game in a row were forward Kaleigh Grossman and guard Dana Carrigan with 11 each.
McAlister recorded her first double-double of her collegiate career with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
"Katie Beth had a really good game," Bennett said. "She made her shots on offense and got the double-double. She was also a force on the other end of the court."
Starting point guard Catie Woods, however, did not play in the game as the result of an injury sustained in the Memphis game Tuesday night.
"Not having Catie Woods made a big difference," said Bennett. "It depends on how she feels if she will play Saturday or not."
The Lady Bisons are on the road again Saturday afternoon at 12:30 when they visit East Tennessee State, another new addition to the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Are You Prepared for Winter?
Winter Car Care Tips
The North Dakota Department of Transportation maintains over 3,000 vehicles during the winter, and has some tips on how you can keep your vehicle winter ready:
- Batteries are much weaker in cold weather, so keep your vehicle's battery fully charged.
- Tires should have M+S or All Season tread and be in good condition.
- Brakes should be checked and serviced if necessary. Even braking on all four wheels will lessen the chance of skids on slippery roads.
- Make sure your vehicle's exhaust system has no leaks. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer and can accumulate quickly in closed vehicles.
- Make sure your wiper blades are in good condition. Keep the windshield washer reservoir filled with antifreeze solvent.
- Check the radiator, heater core and all hoses that carry anti-freeze solution to see that they are in good condition and free of leaks. Also check to see that the solution is good to at least 40 below zero.
- Make sure you have winter weight oil (usually 5W-30) in the engine.
- Emergencies can happen when you least expect them, so be sure to carry a winter survival kit in your vehicle.
Winter Survival Kit
- Several blankets or a sleeping bag and warm clothing, such as parka, boots, long underwear, heavy socks, mittens, ski mask.
- A source of heat, such as a multiple wick candle can heater. It is best to also have matches to light your candle, because some lighters won't work in extreme cold.
- Water and a metal container suitable for melting ice or snow to be used for drinking water.
- A radio and flashlight with extra batteries.
- Food, such as hard candy, jellybeans, raisins, nuts, candy bars, dehydrated fruit, and jerky.
- Something to read to help keep you awake.
- A folding cup.
- Toilet tissue.
- Bright red or orange cloth and whistle to signal help.
- Nylon rope.
Winter Travel Tips
General Information:
- Carry a cell phone.
- Let someone know when you depart, your route, and expected arrival time.
- Dress according to weather conditions. Keep dry and wear clothing in layers.
- Do not leave without a full fuel tank.
If Stranded:
- Stay with your vehicle.
- Run the engine sparingly. Start with 15 minutes every hour and adjust if needed.
- Keep the exhaust pipe clear of snow.
- If the cold is extreme, it may be necessary to keep the engine running continuously. It may not restart if shut off.
- Keep your feet off the floor if the heater is not on.
- Never go to sleep with the engine running.
- Read to pass the time.
- Position car so it faces into the wind.
- Tie a colorful banner on the car antenna. If you need to leave the car for any distance during the storm, tie a nylon rope to the car and yourself so you will be able to find your way back to the car.
- Move all your emergency supplies from the trunk to the interior of the car as soon as you realize you will be staying for a while. Put on warm clothing now, before you get cold. It is easier to stay warm than it is to regain lost warmth. Loosen tight clothing so body heat can circulate. Remove metal jewelry as it can chill you.
- Check your supplies to see what you have to work with and arrange them in order for their use. This will help you ration them in case you are stranded for a long period of time.
- Here's a tip from cold weather campers: eat a snack of high calorie food just before sleeping to stimulate your metabolism (heat production). If you awaken due to the cold, eat some more high energy food and add another layer of insulation such as more clothing or a blanket.
Vehicle Equipment:
- Carry repair tools such as pliers, wrenches, screw drivers, pocket knife.
- Carry tire chains, booster cables, tow rope, gas line antifreeze, and container of sand.
Winter Safe Driving Tips
NDDOT snowplow operators work hard for the safety of the traveling public, however, changing weather conditions could quickly alter road conditions and drivers need to pay special attention to ensure safe travel. To ensure that you arrive at your destination safely, it's a good idea for motorists to follow some basic safety tips while behind the wheel:
- "Know Before You Go" by checking road conditions BEFORE you travel. Check the Travel Information Map or call 511.
- Turn on your lights. This will increase your visibility to other motorists and snowplow operators. Brush snow from your car that could cover your tail lights.
- Slow down and drive according to the conditions. Most winter crashes are caused by driving too fast for conditions. Snowplows typically move at slower speeds.
- Never drive through "white-outs" or "snow fog" caused by cross winds or plowing snow. Wait until you can see.
- Stay back at least five car lengths behind the plow, far from the snow fog and any sanding material being spread; snowplow operators will turn off the sander, pull over, or raise the plow for better visibility when it is safe to do so to allow traffic to pass.
- Be patient. Allow more time to get to your destination. Remember snowplows are working to improve road conditions for your trip.
- Know where the plow is on multi-lane roadways. The plow could be in either lane or on the shoulder.
- Be extremely cautious when passing a snowplow. They can be moved sideways by drifts and hard snow pack.
- Watch for plow trucks on interstate ramps and "authorized vehicle only" cross-overs.
- Don't assume that you'll have good traction because the road looks sanded. The sand can sink into the snow pack, leaving a slick surface.
- Never use cruise control on wet or icy roadways.

Cracking the Case
By Kerry Shannon ('10)
Waldron's job as a criminalist may not be quite as dramatic as those of her TV counterparts, but it is no less interesting or rewarding. She grew up in Fairfax, Va., with law enforcement "in her DNA." Her father, Ronald J. Waldron, served as a New Jersey State trooper before devoting the bulk of his career to the Department of Justice. When she enrolled at JMU, Waldron knew she wanted a career in criminal justice, but was unsure of exactly which aspect of the field. She majored in computer information systems because, she says, "It would help me no matter what path I chose."The popular TV show CSI centers on criminalists who dramatically investigate and solve crimes. They carry guns, make incredible last-second deductions and chase down criminals. Michelle Waldron ('00), who is a real-life criminalist and latent print examiner for the Missouri Highway Patrol Crime Laboratory in Springfield, Mo., can only smile at the show's portrayal of her career. "I do like to watch CSI on occasion because it makes me laugh," she says. "My co-workers and I like to joke about it. We will give each other a hard time by saying, 'I can't believe you didn't get a fingerprint. I saw them do it on CSI!'"
At JMU, Waldron played on the women's rugby team and took advantage of the natural beauty of the Harrisonburg area with her teammates. "Whether we were swimming at Blue Hole, watching a sunset at Reddish Knob or grabbing a late night bite at Jess's Quick Lunch, we always found a way to enjoy what Harrisonburg had to offer. The valley has so many beautiful areas where you can get away from the crowd," she says.
After graduation and while working for the Department of Justice, Waldron accepted a field job at a federal prison in San Diego. There, she used her JMU-acquired computer information systems skills to track inmates and their movements via computer. She eventually decided to return to school and graduated from the University of New Haven in 2005 with a master's degree in forensic science. Then came a short stint providing surveillance for a private investigator. Later, she worked for the private MSSU Regional Crime Laboratory. For the last three years she has worked for the Missouri State Highway Patrol's latent print crime lab developing fingerprints for criminal investigations.
"The great variety among my daily activities and between each criminal case is one of the most enjoyable aspects of my job," says Waldron. Beyond examining and processing evidence, she also trains new examiners, testifies in court and occasionally heads to crime scenes to search for prints.
Cracking a cold case is especially satisfying to Waldron, who enjoys seeing victims get justice. "I like to imagine the so-called 'bad guy' sitting on the couch eating potato chips a year or two after the crime and thinking, 'I sure got away with that.' Then the doorbell rings and Joe Cop makes the arrest."
Waldron remembers one particular case where she developed prints off of tape used in a pipe bomb. "That was the first case where I was able to get fingerprints from the sticky side of duct tape using a dye stain," she says. The case seemed completely cold after three years without a fingerprint database hit. Even though the statute of limitations had expired when the team got a hit, Waldon says, "It's nice to feel like you are having a positive influence. Getting a positive I.D. from the U.S. National Automated Fingerprint Identification System was exciting."
Waldron's motivation to do the job is simple: "When I work a case, I try to handle it the way I would want it handled if I was the victim. Then I know I am doing all I can."

Although Jesus attempted to withdraw to a solitary place (v. 13), he was now too popular to escape notice. This narrative teaches us about the host sponsoring the messianic banquet it foreshadows (5:6; 22:2). In the context of other attempted signs workers in the wilderness in Jesus' day, Jesus' sign in the wilderness involves a clear messianic statement (Witherington 1990:91, 100). But the narrative especially instructs us concerning God's caring provision for his people in this age (6:11; 7:9-10; 15:25-28, 29-39). It also stands in deliberate contrast to the drunken feast of the evil ruler Herod Antipas in 14:6-11 (Lane 1974:227); had we titled the former "Herod's party," we might have titled this passage "God's party."
Some problems require God's direct intervention. The disciples were right to be concerned about the people's hunger but intended to solve the problem in a purely natural way (vv. 15, 17). Our expectations of what God can do often are too small; providing food in the wilderness was technically impossible, but God had used Moses, Elijah and Elisha for feeding miracles. (The present miracle especially resembles one performed by Elisha-2 Kings 4:42-44.)
Feeding multitudes by natural means is, of course, appropriate (as in 2 Kings 6:22); rabbis also delegated to disciples the task of managing an academy's food (for example, Pes. Rab. 25:2). But few towns were nearby, and towns were generally small, at most accommodating only a few visitors in towns of a few thousand people. Further, most of the day's bread would be consumed by evening (Mt 14:15). It would have been nearly impossible for roughly ten thousand people (five thousand men plus women and children-v. 21) to fend for themselves in the countryside.
In this light, the disciples' practical objection (v. 17) merely recalls that of Elisha's disciple (2 Kings 4:43): the master's command (Mt 14:16; 2 Kings 4:42; compare 1 Kings 17:16) was impossible. But both Elisha's disciple and Jesus' disciples should have been with their master long enough to expect that what the master said he had power from God to perform. The God of the exodus, who divided waters (Ex 14:21) and provided manna from heaven (Ex 16:14-18), was at work in history again (2 Kings 2:8-14; 4:38-44; Mt 14:13-33).
God often begins with what we have. Jesus often takes what we bring to him and multiplies it (vv. 16-19). When Moses insisted that he needed a sign to take with him, God asked him what was already in his hand and then transformed it (Ex 4:1-3), using what had been merely a shepherd's rod even to part the sea (Ex 14:16). When a widow needed financial help, Elisha asked what she had in her house; she responded that she had only a small amount of oil, so he commanded her to borrow jars into which to pour the oil and then multiplied it until all the jars were full (2 Kings 4:1-7). Although God created the universe from nothing, he normally takes the ordinary things of our lives and transforms them for his honor (see, for example, Judg 6:14; 15:15-19). The narrative does not even report that Jesus prayed for the food to multiply; confident that he represents the Father's will, he merely gave thanks (the meaning of the Greek expression that some translations render "blessed"; "blessing" food merely means giving thanks for it), which was the standard Jewish custom before and normally after meals (as in m. Berakot 6:5-6; Safrai 1974-1976c:802).
God does miracles only when we need them. This miracle is greater than the manna of the exodus; none of the manna would be left over (Hooker 1983:50). But manna was never left over because it was to be provided every day, whereas this miracle is a rare one. So much was left over that each of the twelve disciples gathered food in his wicker basket (v. 20). The leftovers stress the lavish abundance of God's miraculous power in Christ (compare Theissen 1983:67); many people felt that a good host should provide enough food that some would always be left over (as in Plut. Table-Talk 7.4 and Mor. 702D-704B).
Yet the gathering of the leftovers (compare 2 Kings 4:7, 44; 7:1-2, 16-20; 1 Kings 17:16; Jn 6:12) teaches us something further. Most moralists condemned wastefulness and emphasized thrift (for example, Juv. Sat. 1.58-60; Ps-Phocyl. 138). Jesus trusted that God's provision would always be available when it was needed (compare 16:9-11), but like most moralists he refused to squander what was available. The extra bread, which was more than the amount started with, could be used for other meals.
Everett Cook, a retired Pentecostal minister running a street mission, confronted an associate who had a growth on his nose but refused to see a doctor. "God will heal me," the man insisted.
"If you needed a miracle, God would give you one," Everett retorted, "but right now he's given you a doctor and medical insurance. You need to use what he's given you."
The next time they met the man's growth was much bigger, but the man still insisted, "I am healed." The third time they met the growth had spread further, and finally the man was thinking that perhaps he needed to see a doctor.
God performed a miracle when he created the world and set its laws in motion, and we are often wise to start with natural means when those are available. God performs miracles to meet our genuine needs, but he will not perform them merely to entertain us.
God is not intimidated by the magnitude of our problem. The disciples saw the size of the need and the littleness of the human resources available; Jesus saw the size of the need and the greatness of God's resources available. Often God calls us to do tasks for him that are technically impossible-barring a miracle.
The day before I was going to call my prospective Ph.D. program to say I was not coming because I had no money, God unexpectedly met my need. And in the summer after I finished my Ph.D., I found myself still unable to locate a teaching position for the fall. After much prayer, one night I finally determined the bare minimum I needed to live on and to store my research that year, and I cried out in despair. Barring a miracle, I thought, I will be on the street this year. Less than twenty-four hours later Rodney Clapp called from InterVarsity Press and offered me a contract to write the IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament I had proposed-plus an unexpected advance that was, to the dollar, what I'd decided I needed for the year. Undaunted by the magnitude of my need, God was teaching me that he alone has the power to meet my needs.

David Rockefeller, (born June 12, 1915, New York, New York, U.S.—died March 20, 2017, Pocantico Hills, New York), American banker and philanthropist who was the youngest of the five sons of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
He received a B.S. degree from Harvard University (1936), did graduate study in economics at Harvard and at the London School of Economics, and then earned a Ph.D. degree from the University of Chicago (1940). After service in the U.S. Army during World War II (1942–45), he joined in 1946 the staff of the Chase National Bank of New York, of which his maternal uncle, Winthrop W. Aldrich, was chairman of the board. He rose steadily in the hierarchy to become senior vice president in 1952 and was instrumental in the merger (1955) of Chase National and the Bank of the Manhattan Company that resulted in the Chase Manhattan Bank. His rise in the merged institution was capped in 1969 when he became chairman of the board (1969–81) and chief executive officer (1969–80). His speciality became international banking, and he was a familiar figure to ministers and heads of state of various countries around the world, as well as to heads of multinational corporations. In 1973 Rockefeller founded the Trilateral Commission, a private international organization designed to confront the challenges posed by globalization and to encourage greater cooperation between the United States and its principal allies (Canada, Japan, and the countries of western Europe). He attended and contributed financially to the Bilderberg Conference, an annual three-day meeting attended by approximately 100 of Europe's and North America's most influential bankers, economists, politicians, and government officials.

Whale Trail to Pivot 180 Degrees Again, Shifting to Free to Play
Whale Trail, ustwo's stylish endless runner, is about to make another big PIVOT 180°™. The game is going to shift to a free to play model in the coming weeks. The game is going to be more akin to Jetpack Joyride or Temple Run than the pure score experience that it was previously. Now players earn an in-game currency called krill while playing, that can be spent on new costumes for Willow, along with powers and items for Willow to use, all in the name of higher scores. Of course, it will be possible to buy krill with in-app purchases as well.
For those who purchased the game in the past, and are potentially angry about that $0.99 game they bought shifting to free, well ustwo is hoping to soothe those fears by giving previous paid users a big bag of krill for their trouble. Just what I always wanted! Dr. Zoidberg should be excited too. ustwo are hoping that this update turns the game from a Succailure™ into a just plain success. The update is due to hit in the coming weeks.

Twitter. A popular online social network? Yes. A vital tool for medical research? Maybe.
"Until now, healthcare providers have primarily used online networks as a promotional tool," says Lee Aase, director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media. "We think they can be much more."
Take the case of a surgeon who tweeted about a novel use of laparoscopy for removing a tumor. "It was a quick way to communicate information versus waiting up to a year to publish a paper," says Dr. Prasanth Prasanna, a radiologist in Salem, Ore., who has studied the use of social media in the medical profession.
Social media can also play an important role in research that does get published. A paper in the September issue of the Journal of Urban Health demonstrated how a social networking smartphone app could be used to recruit study participants.

73-year-old woman shoots robbery suspect through bedroom door
73-year-old woman shoots robbery suspect through bedroom door
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. —
Police say a 73-year-old woman shot through a door and wounded suspected burglar as he approached her bedroom.
Gwinnett County police spokesman Jake Smith said Thursday that the woman called 911 when she heard glass breaking at her back door and fired through her bedroom door when she saw a flashlight shining on the other side.
Smith says the suspect, identified as Jamie Christopher Lewis, then went to Eastside Medical Center. Lewis had a non-life threatening wound to his chest. Smith said. A Snellville Police officer called Gwinnett County police when he noticed the man had been shot.
Lewis is charged with burglary.

Pro-life students at DePaul University recently erected an anti-abortion display to mark the 40th anniversary of the historic Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case. While they were intent on exercising their free-speech rights, their work was inevitably torn down by other pupils at the school who clearly disagreed with the message.
Surprisingly, in the wake of the incident, it's the head of the conservative campus group responsible for assembling the memorial who's now in the hot seat. Kristopher DelCampo, 23, could face potential expulsion for publishing the names of his peers who destroyed the flag display.
The student, who chairs the campus chapter of Young Americans for Freedom, was found guilty by campus officials of two violations: "Disorderly, Violent, Intimidating or Dangerous Behavior to Self or Others" and "Judicial Process Compliance," Fox News' Todd Starnes reports.
Ironically, Del Campo came under fire for making public the incident report surrounding the attack on the pro-life memorial. He published the document on the YAF web site — something the university apparently didn't take too kindly to.
Before we delve too deeply into that portion of the story, let's take a moment to recap the story from start to finish, in case you missed it when it was originally reported last month. Starnes explains:
[In] January Del Campo and other pro-life students received permission from the university to erect a pro-life display featuring 500 flags. Vandals later destroyed the display – stuffing a number of the flags into trash cans.
The university's public safety department launched an investigation and eventually identified 13 students who confessed to the crime. Those names were then released by the university to Del Campo.
On Feb. 5 the national Young Americans for Freedom organization posted the names of the vandals on their website. The posting generated negative comments directed at the vandals – and the university held Del Campo responsible.
So, Del Campo, a psychology major, is apparently being held accountable for the negative comments that were waged against the perpetrators. Ten days after the posting of the names went public, the student was officially charged with violating the schools "Code of Student Responsibility."
Naturally, representatives from YAF and other groups are speaking out with dismay that Del Campo is being punished when he was initially the victim of the crime.
Pete Bonilla, a staff member at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, is among those defending the student. In a letter, he wrote to DePaul's president, noting that the publication of names of students who have already confessed to vandalizing shouldn't warrant such a harsh response.
"The 13 DePaul students named in the public safety report admitted not only to vandalizing YAF's display but also planning to do so," Bonilla's letter read. "Students who purposefully vandalize the works of other students should not expect to be shielded from the public consequences of their actions."
But so far the university has reportedly been less-than-accommodating. In an e-mail obtained by Starnes, Del Campo was purportedly threatened with disciplinary action, including expulsion, if he didn't comply with a request for silence on the matter.
"It is unfortunate that this incident is part of your educational career," Dean of Students Art Munin wrote to Del Campo. "Any further infractions of the Code of Student Responsibility during your probationary period may result in additional disciplinary action including removal from the university."
Despite this warning, the student is speaking with Fox and telling his side of the story.
"The dean told me not to fight — he told me it wasn't worth it — that I just have 13 weeks left at the university," the student told Starnes. "But I'm going to fight this. This is wrong. This university has a problem with free speech rights and this time they met a challenger who is not backing down."
Now, YAF is demanding charges be dropped. Read all of the details here. TheBlaze left a message for a representative at DePaul, but has not yet heard back.

For crying out loud, Daz, FIX your website!
This just cannot be a browser issue. A few days ago, I had constant login issues. Now, I can't even login to the main Daz site and worse, I can't even browse my wishlist! And now I am constantly logged into the forums despite the fact I don't even login first and even if I log out, I'm still logged in.
Daz, please FIX your website.
Oh, and whenever I try to login, I get this page that I can't do anything here.Capture.JPG784 x 658 - 51K

I had the same thing till I deleted my DAZ cookies and now all is good.

If you haven't deleted all your DAZ cookies and cleaned out your browser cache, since everything was messed up, you'll probably have problems.
How do I clear my browser cashe and cookies?
What browser are you using?
Internet Explorer
Tools > Internet Options, General Tab, under Browsing History click Delete, then tick cache and cookies.
Gives me Cookies option but not a Cashe option. Anyways, deleted. Nothing has changed. Still can't login the main Daz website and I am still being taken to that page that I provided a screenshot of in my second post of this thread.Post edited by Knight22179 on
Sorry, "Temporary Internet Files"
Tis ok. :)
And I did it. Deleted that too. Nothing. Whenever I try and login, I still get that white page where I can't do anything.

Is it perhaps an older version of IE? With IE9 I stay logged onto the forum for days and recently started staying logged into the store for several hours at a time.
I do have IE 9, but I thought that was the most recent?
Sprinkles Posts: 0
I had to switch to Chrome as my browser, to be honest I now prefer it and since I have changed I have had no problems with this site.
Khory Posts: 3,847
I think 9 is it. That is what I have as well. The only issue I have had is if my computer has a sudden reboot from a power outage. Then I have to "re sinc" with the site. I have to be sure I am logged out of the forum then log into the store and go back to the forum. Generally that leaves me logged in till my next reboot.
I'll have to try that Khory and maybe get Chrome if this problem persists.
No go. Logging in and out gives me the same white page. How do I get the Chrome Browser?

Friday nights here in the US find genealogists tuning in to a wacky, fun, informative internet radio show broadcasting live. Those who miss a GeneaBloggers episode may download the recorded version, just search for it at iTunes.
Ol' Myrt here prefers to listen live and interact with others in the chat room that opens during each broadcast. The only catch is that host Thomas MacEntee broadcasts at 8pm Central US, and you'll need to calculate the time zone difference for where you live. I noticed Audrey Collins tuned in again this week from her home in greater London. Because the show is on the internet, anyone with an internet connection can tune in.
Last night's broadcast Information Overload: Finding the Genealogy Data You Need was episode #50 and this coming week's broadcast will mark the 1 year anniversary of the show. By contrast television shows typically run 8-12 weeks for a "season" and then everyone goes on hiatus. Ever supportive of diverse elements in our genealogy community, our intrepid reporter/host Thomas has effectively brought together some of genealogy's brightest innovators and best speakers to talk about our favorite topic - family history. The result is an impressive library of archived shows designed to get listeners up to speed about surviving record groups and research methodologies eschewing a hint of "presentism" in this digital age.
Thinking back over last night's show, the following points come to mind.
- Co-host Sharon Sergeant, noted genealogist who specializes in investigative genealogy and research, was an effective counterpoint to Thomas during the opening segment. Last week the co-hosting was handled by the equally capable Lisa Alzo. It will be interesting to see if Thomas settles on a permanent co-host or continues to mix it up well by choosing a different 2nd chair each week or so.
- Guest Dan Lynch, author of Google Your Family Tree focused on setting Google Alerts. While I've used them for years, it didn't dawn on me to set an alert for the locality and church in the language of the country in question rather than just the English equivalent.
- Thomas spotlighted Harold Henderson's Climbing The Spiral Staircase: Learning Genealogy, where he suggests four ideals as we develop our research expertise and summarizes his thoughtful tome with "Genealogy learning does differ from an actual spiral staircase in one interesting way: I see no reason to think that it has a top."
- Drew Smith of The Genealogy Guys Podcast and an active member of the American Library Association talked about underutilized library resources including vertical files and items not found in the genealogy section of a library. Drew's ideas always get me thinking. When he mentioned resources peculiar to his local public library in Tampa, I realized we each ought to blog about unusual resources at our local libraries, to get the word out to other researchers. An even better idea would be to make a notation of the appropriate FamilySearch Research Wiki page for the locality. We get by with a little help from our friends.
- Thomas spotlighted two website to assist with marking changes on websites, cautioning that items behind the membership wall won't show up. I think watching an "announcement" page may be an effective turn around.
NOTE: My readers will recall several times this past year it has been my honor to sit in and play host while Thomas traveled to genealogy conferences to speak. GeneaBloggers radio show is just plain fun!
Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)
Your friend in genealogy.

Your questions always hurt my head Sylvester.Sylvester wrote:But which vortex do you refer to? The point at paṭighasamphassa (bare/initial sensory contact, which afflicts even Arahants) or adhivacanasamphassa (designation contact, which Arahants continue to use as as part of naming) or the sequel paññapeti (which Arahants continue to do as part of the sphere of wisdom/paññāvacara so necessary to communicate the reality of suffering)?retrofuturist wrote: You've clearly got a different take on some key terminology to me, so it makes sense for you to define this yourself, I think. For what it's worth, your saññā seems more similar to my nama-rupa (i.e. name and form, or as Sylvester called it elsewhere, naming and form).
I don't think I mean any of those, because I understand phassa in accordance with Nanavira Thera's description of it. I'd source the definition for you now, but the site in question is blocked at my present location.
Given that the mutual reinforcement of the experience of nama-rupa (the naming of forms of the naming of forms of the naming of forms...) is occasionally depicted in sutta depictions of paticcasamuppada, I think that's adequate vortex enough without necessitating any kind of 1:1 mapping to any of those three low-level phenomena you mention... none of which I'm particularly familiar with.
