K1 Stars Out Of 5ApostasyJanuary 17, 2017KQuality: 0Value: 0Meets Expectations: 0I was shocked to read the note in Deuteronomy that the Land Grant was listed as Palestine. Palestine did not exist until the Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed Judah (the remaining kingdom of Israel) as Palestine in approximately 120AD to wipeout the Jews. For this text to use the name Palestine as the name of the Land Grant is apostasy! There was never a Palestine and there never will be a Palestine. There is only Israel!

This Scofield Study Bible is wonderful. I am well pleased with this addition to my other versions as it provides yet another way to study God's Word.

Snyder's SoapboxFruitland, IdahoAge: 35-44Gender: Male4 Stars Out Of 5NKJV Scofield Study Bible, Reader's Edition, Genuine leather, Black Thumb-IndexedDecember 14, 2015Snyder's SoapboxFruitland, IdahoAge: 35-44Gender: MaleQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4I received the Oxford University Press New King James Version Scofield Study Bible III in the mail gratis from Oxford, for the purpose of review. It was shipped in a cardboard box with paper packing. It arrived safe and sound, with no damage. Inside the shipping box, was the retail box. It is a two piece box, with a clear plastic window in it. It is sturdy enough to retain for storing the Bible in. Inside the retail box, the Bible is wrapped in plastic wrap. This Bible is black in color, and is listed as genuine leather. It feels like pigskin leather. It is hard and shiny like pigskin leather. Upon opening it, I was struck with a strong odor. It smelled strongly, and not in a pleasant way. I have had it opened for a few days now, and the smell has dissipated quite a bit. There is a groove around the perimeter, and on the inside there is a gilt line. This Bible has a decorative head and tail band. It also has a gold/yellow colored ribbon marker. The spine and corners of this Bible are rounded. The thumb indexes are pretty typical of other thumb indexes. Some people love them, I dont really use them. This Bible is printed and bound in Korea. They seem to be the new middle of the pack printers as far as quality and price go. Most of the Korean made Bibles are a good value. They arent as well made as the Jongbloed Bibles, and they arent near as expensive either. They far exceed the quality of the Chinese made Bibles and are generally about a third to twice the cost. In my opinion, it is worth it to spend the extra money. The Chinese quality is so hit or miss, it is ridiculous. This Bible seems to be pretty well made. The binding is sewn and the leather is decent grade pigskin genuine leather.
I am pretty pleased with all of the features this Bible has for the price. It seems to be a good value. The presentation and family records pages are attractive compared to most. They are printed on a textured, colored paper. They look fancy compared to the plain paper ones, and they take ink better than the glossy paper in others.
There are a lot of articles, cross references, chain references, maps, footnotes, and other helps dispersed throughout this Bible. Book introductions at the beginning of each book are just enough information without being information overload. The Bible is a bit thicker than some study Bibles, but not near as large as others, like the ESV Study Bible. I think they made a decent compromise between features and size. Sometimes it seems there is never enough in a study Bible to please some customers, and if there were, it would be so large they couldnt carry it. A good editor is a must. The paper is opaque enough so that ghosting is minimal. The 9 point font is inked uniformly and printed clearly, to contrast well with the paper. The layout is double column, verse format, with side column references in the gutter and margin, notes are at the bottom of the page. The text that is in red is also printed uniform, and clean. The verse numbers are in black regardless of whether or not they precede black text or red. The page edges are gold gilt. There is a large, useful concordance, and 12 color maps in the end of this Bible.

I never expected to receive a violation for funny use of the almighty "F" word. I understand habitual use, or inappropriate attacks but dam (Oops is that word allowed? :rolleyes: ) I feel like I am on a liberal forum!
I am probably going to be banned for this so I guess I have to find a true ADULT forum that doesn't act like an elementary school teacher.

Ronald Reagan's son: Alzheimer's seen during presidency
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former President Ronald Reagan, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease five years after leaving office, showed signs of the condition while still in the White House, his son says in a new memoir.
In the book, "My Father at 100, a Memoir," Ron Reagan writes he had an inkling of trouble three years into his father's first term.
Later, watching his father debate 1984 Democratic presidential nominee Walter Mondale, "I began to experience the nausea of a bad dream coming true," Ron Reagan wrote.
"Some voters were beginning to imagine grandpa -- who can never find his reading glasses -- in charge of a bristling nuclear arsenal, and it was making them nervous," said Ron Reagan, according to a published excerpt of his book.
"Worse, my father now seemed to be giving them legitimate reason for concern. My heart sank as he floundered his way through his responses, fumbling with his notes, uncharacteristically lost for words. He looked tired and bewildered."
Reagan was diagnosed in 1994 with Alzheimer's, an incurable, brain-wasting disease, and died 10 years later. Ron Reagan's book will be published on Tuesday, ahead of the 100th anniversary of his father's birth on February 6.
Ron Reagan, the youngest of the former president's four children, said he believed his father was probably not surprised to be diagnosed with the disease.
"As far back as August 1986 he had been alarmed to discover, while flying over the familiar canyons north of Los Angeles, that he could no longer summon their names," Ron Reagan said in the memoir.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation denied that Reagan showed signs of the illness while he was president. Continued...

A dry rub is a simple mix of salt, spices and herbs that are used to season the outside of the tri tip, whether you are getting ready to grill it up or smoke it slowly. As you season, you literally rub (or work in) the mixture. This will not only tenderize the tri tip – it will enhance the flavor as it mixes with the juices during your cook.
There are some great beef rubs available at your local supermarkets, but you can also make your own with great ease. Here is one that I created (including a PDF for easy printing and downloading):
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
Optional: 1/2 tablespoon chili powder (to kick it up a notch)
1 two pound tri tip, trimmed
Quick Note: You can double the ingredients to keep a shaker full of this rub in your pantry for later use.
1) Mix the garlic powder, salt, black pepper and chili powder in a bowl until ingredients are distributed evenly.
- Quick note: You can either put the rub into an empty salt shaker or leave it in the bowl to apply by hand. With the mixture proportions above, you will not have a lot left over.
2) Apply the dry rub evenly to all sides of the tri tip. After you coat the tri tip, rub in the mixture with your hands. The dry rub does not need to be piled on thick – a simple coat will do the trick.
3) Place the tri tip on the grill and prepare to enjoy a delicious meal.
One of the great things about grilling is experimentation. Get creative! We will list great tri tip dry rub recipes as we create them or gather them from other sources.

But there are some questions — the biggest ones — that the world won't ask you. You are left to ask yourself these questions. Or they might just go unanswered.
I'm going to ask these questions of a lot of people.
You can leave your answers as comments below. (Menacing legal note: by leaving a comment, you permit me to include your words, with attribution, in any eventual publication.)
Then, I'm going to write a book to encourage more asking.
For now, here's a page you can carry into the woods or post in your cubicle.
The title question — "What is the greatest thing in the world?" — was a first-day-of-class ice-breaker annually asked by John Detrick, my high school geometry teacher. He just wanted to get to know the students and was usually surprised that the question had not been previously considered.

Some public statements in the media on the topic of poverty contain exaggerations and even downright falsehoods. We often get the impression that low-income people are very numerous and that this is a permanent condition for most of them. This perception in fact runs counter to reality. The duration of poverty is one area where social mobility research can provide answers. Greater social mobility is allowing for better adaptation to continuing economic change.

/// More Pressure On News Corp.'s BSkyB Deal
July 8, 2011 | All Things Digital
More evidence that Rupert Murdoch's $12 billion BSkyB deal has been roughed up by the phonegate/hackergate scandal : A British government office says approval for the transaction will now take " some time ", a sentiment echoed by U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron. Cameron also told reporters that News Corp. executive Rebekah Brooks should have stepped down . A response from News Corp., which also owns this Web site, "notes today's comments by the Prime Minister," and says the company wants to work with "the existing regulatory process."

Today, Governor Bobby Jindal joined the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) and Shell Oil Company to announce a new public-private partnership -- between the recreational angling community, private businesses and the state -- to assist in CCA's ongoing Building Conservation Habitat Program. Shell has committed 1.5 million dollars to CCA's Building Conservation Habitat Program.
Governor Jindal announced that Independence Island -- formerly an emergent island in Barataria Bay near Grand Isle -- will be one of the first beneficiaries of the Building Conservation Program. Independence Island was formerly one of Louisiana's popular fishing destinations, but due to coastal erosion and subsidence, the Island has sunk to the point that it is no longer a viable fisheries habitat. Governor Jindal said the state's new partnership with CCA and Shell will help resurrect the treasured marina life habitat associated with Independence Island.
Governor Jindal said, "Louisiana's coastal environment has faced many challenges, some man-made and some natural. This makes it increasingly important for us to find innovative ways to restore and enhance the coastal areas that support state's economy. Our marsh is the heart and soul of Louisiana. We have a sporting heritage second to none and a long, proud connection to our land, water and resources. Louisiana sportsmen know better than anyone the need to give something back to the environment so that we can continue to enjoy it while preserving this heritage for our children and grandchildren. That's what makes this announcement today so inspiring -- CCA's Building Conservation Habitat Program is a long-term commitment from the angling community to the incredible natural resources of Louisiana. Partnerships like the one announced today are a critical component for helping our citizens get back on their feet after the oil spill and preserving the beauty of coastal Louisiana for generations to come."
David Cresson, Executive Director and CEO of CCA Louisiana said, "Today's announcement is a great example of how when private enterprise, members of the community and the state work together -- they can accomplish great work. This reef will create new habitat for a large variety of marine species and will provide recreational fishing opportunities in an area that had been heavily affected by coastal erosion and other factors. I applaud Shell and Governor Jindal for working with CCA to spearhead this project, and I look forward to our continued work in conserving and enhancing our coastal fisheries."
John Hollowell, Executive Vice President, Deep Water, Upstream Americas, Shell Energy Resources Company said, "Shell has a long history of support for environment and habitat projects, and our thousands of employees in Louisiana are excited about the possibilities of this partnership. CCA members have an amazing track record of conservation work that sets them apart. We believe in the organization and are committed to doing our part to ensure that the Building Conservation Habitat Program has the tools to bring significant marine habitat restoration projects from concept to reality."
Patrick Murray, president of CCA National said, "This partnership combines the grassroots strength of CCA with the resources of Shell to allow our members to take the Building Conservation Habitat Program to new levels. It is an exciting time in marine conservation, and the restoration projects that will come from this initiative will play a key role in the enhancement of Gulf resources for both today's anglers and for generations of anglers to come."
The project calls for installing two reefs covering four acres at Independence Island this spring, each reef consisting of 3,500 tons of limestone to provide hard-structure habitat for marine fisheries. Almost immediately after installation, these reefs will start attracting marine organisms and forage fish, which will draw recreational species and provide new opportunities for anglers in Grand Isle.
CCA worked with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) to permit a 55-acre site for future reef development that includes the original footprint of Independence Island. The Independence Island Reef is being made possible by a $250,000 donation from the CCA Building Conservation Habitat Program and matching funds from the state.
CCA has a highly successful artificial reef program with reefs completed in Lake Pelto, Vermilion Bay, Calcasieu Lake, and Lake Ponchartrain. In in-shore coastal areas, this program has used crushed limestone to construct low-relief "shell-pad" type structures to enhance habitats and fisheries resources.

Hey, bring it on! If Thomas or anyone else has any actual evidence of wrong-doing, by all means let's have a look at it. It's one thing to say, as many often do, "Oh you know, that sort of thing happens all the time." It's quite another to put names and dates and places to specific circumstances. That was easy enough when the Democrats where in charge, because so many of them were actual crooks who committed crimes that could be verified through evidence submitted at trial. Now let's see what they've got on the R's. Time to put up or shut up.

The Tenors will visit The Children's Storefront -- an independent, tuition free school for Pre-K - 8th grade located in Harlem, New York. The group will have a discussion and Q&A segment with the school's 5th-8th grade students, led by the head and assistant head of school, Wendy Reynoso and Michael Williams. The Tenors will close out the assembly with a performance including a final number with the school's choir.

Health Insurance Question
Pi, I noticed this thread and it coincides with me recently getting an email from friends who are now out cruising after retiring - early - without health coverage. He''s still riding on COBRA but will soon need to acquire their own package. He was commenting about how many choices there are these days, and how affordable they were. Since they spend part of each year back in their home in Tampa Bay, I know he was referring to world-wide coverage that would be of value inside the USA. I told him at the time (only two weeks ago! I''m a prophet...) that there would be others who would benefit by his research.
It turns out that their last two weeks have been spent watching Ivan march right over the top of their boat (at the S end of Grenada), then flying down to Trinidad to hitch a sailboat ride back up to Grenada (the only way in/out at the time), rescue their boat (one of the 20% of boats, his estimate, to survive with only minor or no damage) and move it back down to Chag Bay outside POS. So...he''s been pretty busy. But I''ll bump him again and ask him if he''s got the results of his research ''with him'' (parked in his laptop somewhere, I suspect) and can find the time to share them here or in some neutral corner of the Web.
Health Insurance Question
Glad to hear you''ve had the opportunity to visit my neck of the woods. It''s like most places...there are some good things,and some not so good things about it.
So you are contemplating taking off to cruise too? I struggle with the issue everyday, if not every hour.Health insurance is indeed a "big ticket" item.
I read an article recently that discussed how high boat insurance is getting also.Several companies are placing more restrictions on where cruisers can travel. One skipper mentioned that to cross the Atlantic,not only must they have four people on board,but they must also be part of an orgainized rally! Apparently some companies are refusing to insure U.S.documented boats that are taken to the Carribean. To quote another cruiser,"Folks with $80K - $150K boats just aren''t insuring anymore, or they''re staying at home."
The article went on to explain some of the reasons why the rates are sky-rocketing, but basically it boils down to Wall Street investors don''t believe that insurance companies are good investments anymore.
Are any of you cruisers out there experiencing these types of problems, and can elaborate?
Health Insurance Question
Stede, Thanks for the input. To add to your note, my best friend moved to Asheville some years back. I''ve been down to see him on a couple of occasions and was totally surprised to find so many people living there that I knew up here but had lost touch with over the years! There must be some sort of attraction but honestly, I don''t see it!
Health Insurance Question
I posed a similar question to yours some time ago.If I recall correctly, Jack- aboard "Whoosh" offered some good information on international insurance companies offering lower health insurance rates.You might want to do a search here using the topic "Message in a Bottle." I hope the information is of some help to you.I''ve struggled with this issue as well.I''m about 7-1/2 years away from retiring at age 55.If I make it, the company I work for will pay a large portion of my health care insurance each month.Time is a commodity that we can''t buy back though,and I continually try to come up with alternative solutions to get around the insurance problem,which would allow me to cruise earlier.A good friend once told me, "Poor folks,has poor ways." Well, I''m still looking for them! Good luck!
*** On a side note. I noticed your post had a reference to "Yankee" in it.In a previous post by me, I made an "off the cuff" remark about "Yankees" moving to NC.Maybe it''s just coincidental? Regardless, the thought occured to me that maybe my words couldn''ve offended someone,and if so,I''m truly sorry.While this is a great form of media to use,what is very hard to some times express in our words, is tone.Many of my best friends are from the northern states and we tease each other about many things.Please forgive me if I offended you, or anyone else.Thanks!
Health Insurance Question
working in the allied health profession I know how you feel.I work in an emergency room and see it all.I always say to my self what if that was me 5 miles from the bottom somewhere.as we get older we all are prone to illness so I dont know how to answer your concerns except to say take care of your self beforehand.I am glad I did what I have donewhile I was young.
Health Insurance Question
Okay, inquiring minds need to know I can probably make enough money to feed myself on an extended cruise and I can come up with all sorts of Yankee ways to fix any of my boats ills, but what about medical insurance. My wife, who has absolutely no interest in following my whims on an extended cruise (say 5 years or so), has offered to stay married and working to keep our currant insurance available. But what if I can talk her into joining me, which is what Id really like? My health is good right now but that could change and what about emergencies like a broken limb or an appendix attack, etc. How are others dealing with health costs incurred while underway?

Watch: 'World's Largest Urban Zipline'
Devin Supertramp is back with another insane video. The filmmaker, who has become known for shooting videos of his crazy brand promoting stunts, has released a new video that involves parachutes, a zip line and a 700-foot building. Devin and his 6-person crew of professional Base jumpers took a trip to Panama City in order to pull off the stunt.
The crew zips down a giant 10,000-foot line called the 'World's Largest Urban Zipline', which starts at the top of a 700-foot building. If that's not crazy enough, the team members suddenly drop from the line and go into free fall before finally opening up parachutes and landing safely on a Speed Stick banner.
Check out the incredible video below and let us know if you would ever try a crazy stunt like this one!

The Onder Law Firm is truly a "local" firm with deep roots in the St. Louis community. Each of the firm's attorneys, paralegals, and staff were born and raised in the St. Louis Metropolitan area, giving the firm a "home field" advantage. Although deeply entrenched in the St. Louis legal community, the firm is equally at home out of state. Firms throughout the nation seek the firm's experience and expertise on complex litigation in specialty areas, such as medical malpractice, product liability claims and cases involving window covering products.
St. Louis is truly a "small town." The St. Louis community is comprised of very tight knit medical and legal communities, into which the firm and its members are deeply rooted. One of the firm's partners serves as the prosecuting attorney for the City of Brentwood, a powerful municipality in the St. Louis Metropolitan area. Another of of the firm's partners is a third generation attorney, whose grandfather was a founding director of multiple charitable trusts and foundations still serving the St. Louis community. Yet another attorney at the firm is a retired St. Louis County judge, having served as a member of the bench for over 20 years, and remains quite active in the legal community. The father of another is also a retired member of the bench, from a long established legal family in the St. Louis community.
The firm's medical contacts run equally deep. Essential to the effective presentation of evidence in any injury or death claim is the medical testimony presented. The firm's ties to the St. Louis medical community are second to none. The great grandfather of one of our attorneys is former chief of staff at a major St. Louis medical center; another attorney's father is past president of the Missouri Association of Osteopathic Physicians and head of the Department of Family Practice at another medical center. The great grandfather of one attorney was a graduate of the first dental school class at St. Louis University in 1905.
These longstanding roots in the St. Louis legal and medical communities place the firm in a unique and enviable position. In fact, the firm's quality has been recognized by its peers, as evidence by its AV rating in the Martindale-Hubbell directory. The directory is a system whereby lawyers evaluate the accomplishments and skill of other lawyers with the AV distinction being bestowed upon less than 10% of lawyers in the St. Louis legal community.

Chicken with Mesclun Salad and Passion Fruit Vinaigrette
Thanks to a climate that's both tropical and temperate, Kenya grows an impressive range of produce, including the passion fruit, oranges, limes and delicate greens in this dish. Chef Hubert Des Marais squeezes aromatic wild limes into the tangy marinade; kaffir or key limes can be used instead. He gets his birds from Peter De Mello, a big-game hunter turned organic chicken farmer.

There was yet another shooting at Fort Hood yesterday. The gunman, 34 year old Ivan Lopez killed four people, including himself.
The gunman in the Fort Hood shooting was an active-duty enlisted soldier who served four months in Iraq and was being evaluated for PTSD, military officials said Wednesday night.
Ivan A. Lopez, 34, had previously served in the Army National Guard in Puerto Rico, a military official said. He was assigned to the 13th Sustainment Brigade at Fort Hood.
He was apparently being treated for depression, and self-reported as having had a traumatic brain injury after having served in Iraq.
"The soldier had not been wounded in Iraq, but was being treated for behavioral problems, anxiety and 'a number of other psychological issues,'" according to this report.
Apparently his .45 caliber pistol was not registered on base and was brought there only recently.
So far this does not appear to be terrorism related, no matter how ardently some whose Twitter feed I had the misfortune of reading hoped it was.
I'm sure more details will emerge soon. Keep everyone there in your thoughts.

World Chefs: New cookbook spills the beans ... on beans
By Patricia Reaney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Award-winning cookbook author Crescent Dragonwagon knows a lot about beans -- all kinds of beans, and how to use them to create everything from soups and salads to stews and curries and even cookies and ice cream.
Her latest cookbook, "Bean by Bean," contains 175 recipes for meat and vegetarian meals, as well as the basics about different beans and their origins, and selecting, preparing, cooking and storing them.
The 59-year-old author and former restaurant owner spoke to Reuters about her passion for beans, their appeal and healthy benefits -- and how to avoid an embarrassing side effect of eating them.
Q: Why did you write a cookbook about beans?
A: "First of all there are thousands of varieties of beans. Second of all you can eat them at every phase of their lifecycle. Third of all they are the only plant that actually enriches the soil by growing as opposed to depleting it. They put nitrogen back in the soil, so they enrich the soil ... In these straightened financial times beans are the food of the 99 percent and they would be the food of the one percent if they knew what was good for them. They are healthy. They are inexpensive and they are absolutely like the perfect canvas for any picture you want to paint with them from sweet to tart to creamy to smooth to texture to spicy."
Q: How did you learn so much about beans?
A: "I tend to be a person who when I get interested in something I get obsessed by it ... What happens to me is that I will fall in love with a particular ingredient, or a particular dish ... Once I make the decision that something has intrigued me enough to draw me in there is no end to it."
Q: Beans are a popular and staple food in many countries but not as popular in others, why is that? Continued...

Patience may be a virtue, but it is increasingly harder to find among U.S. consumers. In our hyper-connected culture, where our expectation is to purchase products or services on-demand, businesses that fail to adapt are at risk. This study is the first of its kind to measure the patience (or lack thereof), chattiness and fast-talking of Americans in all 50 states.
Marchex Call DNA technology measured hold times, rate of speech and frequency of speech from a data set of more than four million phone calls placed by consumers to businesses across a wide variety of industries from 2013-2015.
Ranking the Nation's 50 states on gabbiness, impatience and fast-talking.
If you're at a party with 50 guests, one from each state, who is likely to talk the most? Who will be the most patient? Who will talk the fastest?
The analysts from the Marchex Institute studied more than 4 million phone calls placed from consumers to businesses from 2013 – 2015, using technology that automatically monitors speech, silence, ring tones and hold times, to uncover speech patterns from residents in all 50 states. Here is what we found:
Americans are talking faster than ever – on average Americans speak between 110 & 150 words per minute. And recent studies show that we're talking faster… as texts, tweets and technology causes many of us to speak more quickly to try to fit it all in. Who is leading the charge?
A clear pattern emerges when viewing the data on a map of the United States. The slowest talkers – as measured by words per minute – come primarily from the South. The fastest talking population comes from Oregon, and is followed closely by its neighbors in the Pacific Northwest, most of New England, the upper Midwest (states surrounding Minnesota and Iowa) and Florida.
You may notice that citizens of New York don't talk the fastest… but they do talk the most… see next section for more details. How much faster is a fast talker? For every 5 words a slow talking state utters, a fast talking state will utter 6.
Just because you talk slow doesn't mean you don't talk a lot. Just ask the residents of South Carolina and North Carolina. These states make the top 10 list of "slow talkers" yet they also make the top 10 list for "most words in a phone conversation". Who else is on this list? The entire Eastern seaboard from Maine to South Carolina speak the most words in a phone conversation!
The West and South from California to Texas also speak a lot on the phone, along with central states Illinois, Ohio and Missouri. If you want to have a conversation that is straight to the point, then focus in on residents from the middle. Most states in between Idaho to the West, Wisconsin to the East, Oklahoma to the South and all the way up to Canada use fewer words to get the point across than everyone on the coasts.
How big is the difference? A New Yorker will use 62% more words than someone from Iowa to have the same conversation with a business, according to our data.
No one likes to be put on hold, and it happens to us a lot. In fact, we predict Americans will waste more than 900 million hours waiting on hold in 2016, revealing an urgent need for businesses to improve their customer service over the phone.
Below, we look at how tolerant residents from all 50 states can stand being put on hold. The states below in green are those that hang up the most when being put on hold. Once again, the Eastern seaboard dominates this category, but also the Upper Midwestern region of the United States is particularly nonplussed with being put on hold. The Southeast is fairly tolerant of being put on hold along with many other states in the middle of the country. Residents from Minnesota will hang up less than half as often as those from Ohio, North Carolina or New York.
Improving Customer Experiences
While this study uncovers America's speech patterns, it also begs the question of how businesses can improve consumer experiences. After all, the "impatience index" is based upon how often we're willing to wait on hold before hanging up in disgust! Studies from the Marchex Institute have shown that businesses can grow revenue and improve advertising efficiency by making changes such as (a) greeting a customer in a friendly manner and (b) reducing hold times.
In February, 2016 we'll be releasing a study on modern measurement of call centers which will provide insights into how large brands can create almost $100 million in incremental revenue based on our studies of millions of calls from consumers to businesses. Visit us at www.marchex.com/insights/ or e-mail us at marchex-institute at marchex dot com with any questions or feedback.

These findings inform business decisions and measurably boost ad campaign returns. The Institute's insights and analyses have landed headlines in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Forbes and other national media outlets.
Correction: An earlier version stated states marked in pink contained callers who hang up the most when on hold, this has been changed to accurately reflect those states as being marked in green. The previous version of this story had the bottom 5 lists for all categories listed as 46-50. They now accurately reflect the correct ranking of 50-46.

Once again the pressure in on to get the 88+ volunteers needed to pull this off. For 2 years running The Wine Experience has been listed in the top 10 things to do at the Iowa State Fair. We estimated that 75, 000+ people walked through the Wine Experience each of the last two years. Our daily grape competition stomps have been a huge attraction. We have increased from 9 to 12, the number of Competitive grapes stomps we will be doing each day this year.
144 rounds of competitive grape stomps will be done this year. 3 stompers and 3 muckers per round. 12 rounds per day.
You do not have to be part of the Iowa vine/wine industry to volunteer.
What will you do: - smile - talk to people - serve wine & crackers - listen to music - help with the grape stomping contests each day - other duties as assigned - Give directions to other State Fair exhibits - tidy up the place
Suggested Attire: Typical casual State Fair clothes.
Working conditions: Best location at the fair. Grandfather's Barn is on top of the hill and surrounded by large shade trees and out of the way of the huge crowds at the base of the hill. The state fair shuttle has a "stop" right outside of Grandfather's Barn
Fringe benefits: - free parking tickets - free State Fair entry tickets - free bathroom facilities - free water - free shade - free music - free to promote your vineyard and/or winery with pictures, brochures, etc...

Late Season Grape Petiole Testing
Petiole tests are an additional method to use along with soil tests to determine fertility needs once the vineyard is established. It is commonly recommended to take soil samples of a vineyard every 3-5 years. Most soils have a buffering capacity that does not allow their fertility status to change abruptly from year to year. Petiole tests can change each year. They are more of a snapshot in time. Comparing petiole tests to their respective soil test will give a vineyard manager a much better picture of what "REALLY" is happening in the vineyard.
Petiole tests can be used as a trouble-shooting tool to determine what may be wrong with individual vines. It is always good to take separate samples from both the vines in question and the normal vines to have a comparison. Petiole tests are often taken on a regular basis to monitor the fertility status of the individual areas and cultivars in a vineyard.
Petioles (stem portion of the leaf) are the tissue recommended for determining the nutritional needs of grape vines. Obtaining a representative sample is critical. Optimum nutrient ranges are based on petioles sampled at specific times during the season. The following guidelines can be used for proper sampling and handling procedures:
Full bloom and veraison (approx. early August in Iowa) are the two times of the
season to sample grapes. The full bloom sample is primarily used for nitrogen and boron. The veraison sample is more reliable for all the other nutrients.
- At least 25-50 vines should be selected for a sample collection. Vines not typical of the vineyard should be avoided.
- Vines should be of the same age, cultivar, and rootstock growing on similar soil/site conditions.
- For full bloom sampling, take the petioles from leaves opposite the bottom flower cluster. For samples taken at veraison, take the petioles from the most recently developed matured leaf.
- Collect 75-100 petioles. Short petioled varieties like Marechal Foch will need 150 to 200 petioles collected. Do not pick more than one petiole from any one shoot and do not sample any petioles connected to heavily diseased, insect or mechanical damaged leaves.
- Dusty or dirty petioles should be rinsed with distilled water and patted dry with a paper towel. Place the collected samples in a paper bag and send into a testing laboratory. Make sure to record all the necessary information required by the testing laboratory.
- Make sure to contact the testing laboratory prior to sending in the petiole test. You want to do it right the first time!

Many factors can affect the nutrient composition of plant tissue. Soil moisture, soil fertility, diseases, insects, crop load, weather, and cultural practices can directly affect petiole tests. When properly used, petiole testing will provide the most reliable method to determine fertilizer needs for established vineyards. Comparing petiole tests from year-to-year will show a more reliable trend over time. Charges will vary between laboratories, but most fees will range between $25 - $35 for a complete petiole analysis.

(Left) Picture of grape press Rob Anderson, Central City, IA constructed. The basket is made out of 1"x2" red oak and measures 22" high and 19" in diameter which would make it 27 gallons. The whole thing is held together by stainless steel bolts. The jack is a 12 ton pneumatic that will hook up to an air compressor. I has an off/on switch. The bottom tray has a ¾" hole that will drain intot a 5 gallon bucket.
Rob has a 1 acre 4 year old vineyard of Brianna called "Broken Bridge Vineyards".
(Left) I found this Imperial Moth (Eacles imperialis) on the "ISU Extension – Warren County" sign in from of my office in Indianola, IA. The larva feed on Oak, Maple, Sweet Gum, Sassafras and pines. There is a high amount of variation within the colors of the adults which are always yellow and purple but can vary. Generally there is more purple on the forewing and more purple on males. Adults emerge before sunrise and mate after midnight the next day. Females lay eggs at dusk singly or in groups of 2-5 on both surfaces of host plant leaves. The eggs hatch in about 2 weeks, and the larva are solitary feeders. Pupation takes place in underground burrows. There is one generation per year. Adults do not feed.
I stopped by the ISU Entomology Department on the ISU campus this week. Dr. Donald Lewis showed me their two Japanese Beetle traps that they put behind their building shown in the (Lower Left) picture. Note the crabapple tree in the background that has been almost completely defoliated by the adult Japanese Beetles. Different types of attractants were being used in the two traps. They replaced the small catch basin that was attached to the trap on the right with a 30 gallon plastic trash can because of all the beetles they were catching. You can read the latest information from ISU Horticulture on Japanese Beetles here in the 7-13-11 issue of ISU Horticulture Home Pest News: http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/hortnews/2011/7-13/japanesebeetle.html
Japanese Beetles are also becoming a problem in Iowa corn and soybean fields. See "Japanese Beetle Activity Increases in Iowa", 7-22-11 ISU Integrated Crop Management News here:

Comments from Readers
Hi Mike;
Here are a few pictures I took last night. I was running this machine in my Somerset seedless grape rows. The 1st picture is actually LaCrescent rows I had done some days earlier. This machine has been rather expensive to buy and setup. All things being relative and my situation as being generally the lone worker in my vineyard, it has been my salvation! I can get the vines trimmed in a timely manner with minimal effort. I trim about 1 acre per hr. Last year it took me days of hard physical effort to accomplish this work with almost the same results. I am also now able to keep on top of my spray program. I have also less canopy to penetrate with my simple boom sprayer and I keep good airflow with most of the laterals being cut off. I highly recommend not drinking and driving while operating this machine. It does require one pay attention. 7-19-11

Things are heating up fast. And no, we're not talking about Montana's fire season, though that, too, came on fast and furious in the last week. We're talking about the 2006 congressional races, which officially took off when the Montana Democratic Party launched a TV ad Monday criticizing Republican Sen. Conrad Burns for his dealings with "notorious lobbyist Jack Abramoff, now under federal investigation." The ad cited $136,000 that Burns received from Abramoff, who's facing criminal and congressional investigations over his representation of Midwest American Indian tribes, and linked it to Burns' work on steering a $3 million grant to one of Abramoff's clients.
Republicans quickly launched a counterattack, demanding the ad be pulled and saying it was inaccurate. On Tuesday, the president of a Billings TV station asked the Montana Democratic Party to change the ad, since the money came not just from Abramoff but from Abramoff's clients. By the end of the news cycle Tuesday, the Dems had agreed to change two words in their ad, though they held firm to the thrust of the message.
Though the details are interesting themselves, what's more important is that hardball ads and subsequent outcries about "mudslinging" have revved up more than 15 months before the election. If this says anything, and we're pretty sure it does, we're in for a long, messy race. The Republican ad blitz hasn't even begun, but watch out once it does. Four Democrats have so far announced plans to run against Burns: state Auditor John Morrison, state Senate President Jon Tester, former state Rep. Paul Richards and Bozeman businessman Clint Wilkes.
Burns has said he hopes to raise a whopping $10 million for this race—that's $5 million more than his seat cost him last time around. And he'll likely see a boost in the coffers when Vice President Dick Cheney shows up for an Aug. 15 fund-raiser in Billings. Luncheon plates will run supporters $125 and a photo-op reception costs $1,000, according to an announcement sent out by the state GOP. Tester, for his part, has famously recruited Pearl Jam to play a benefit concert in Missoula Aug. 29 at $46 a head. That kind of money promises a deluge of ads to come.
The Senate race isn't the only bit of politics to ratchet up recently. Even the airwaves became more partisan on Aug. 3, when Western Montana tuned into new radio station KKNS-FM 105.9, a progressive talk and news station offering a counterpoint to long-established conservative talk radio. Now, if you just can't get enough political warfare locally, you can tune into Rush Limbaugh and Al Franken at the same time and listen until your head explodes.
Buckle in for a long season, 'cause there's a truckload of spin headed our way.

Know the Laws: West Virginia
UPDATED December 6, 2016
A protective order is a civil order that provides protection from harm by a family or household member who has committed domestic violence against you.
This section defines domestic violence for the purposes of getting a domestic violence protective order.
Domestic violence (or abuse) is when one family or household member commits any of the following acts to another family or household member:
Note: If you reported or witnessed an act of domestic violence and, as a result, have been abused, threatened, harassed or you have been the target of other actions intended to intimidate you, you can apply for a protective order.** See Who can get a protective order? for more information.
* W. Va. Code § 48-27-202
** W. Va. Code § 48-27-305(3)
A "family or household member" is defined as:
* W. Va. Code § 48-27-204
In West Virginia, there are two types of protective orders: emergency protective orders and final protective orders.
An emergency protective order is a court order designed to provide you and your family members with immediate protection from an abuser. To get an emergency order, the judge must believe that you or your children are in immediate danger of abuse. To get an order without the abuser present (known as ex parte), you may have to explain to the judge why the abuser should not be notified in advance that you are requesting an order (i.e., that your life would be in danger, etc).* An emergency protective order will protect you from the time you file for the final protective order until your full court hearing. This will usually be within 10 days but could be postponed – in that case, your emergency order can be extended until the following court date.** Note: If you are filing against a spouse and there has been a temporary order for divorce, annulment or separate maintenance issued by the family court, the type of order you could get from the magistrate's court is called a temporary emergency protective order.*** For more information, see What type of emergency protective order can I get if I am in the middle of a divorce?
A final protective order offers the same type of protection as an emergency protective order, but it lasts longer. Since it lasts longer, you will have to have a full court hearing to get a final protective order. In this hearing, the abuser will have a chance to respond to your petition. A final protective order can last for 90 days, 180 days, or one year. To qualify for a one-year final order, you have to prove at a hearing that one of the following "aggravating factors" exists:
You can ask the court to extend the order but you must do so before it expires. For more information, see How do I change or extend my protective order?
* W. Va. Code § 48-27-403(a)
** W. Va. Code § 48-27-403(b),(g)
*** W. Va. Code § 48-27-402
**** W. Va. Code § 48-5-505(a),(b)
If you are filing for a protective order against a spouse and there is currently a temporary order for divorce, annulment or separate maintenance from family court, then the magistrate can only consider incidents that happened after the temporary divorce order was issued. The order you would get from the magistrate is called a temporary emergency protective order.* The magistrate will then transfer the case to the family court where the judge will hold a hearing within 10 days. The family court judge will decide whether or not the temporary emergency protective order entered by the magistrate should be extended by the family court or should be vacated (dismissed).**
The only protections that could be in a temporary emergency protective order are ordering the respondent to:
(1) stop abusing you and/or your minor children;
(2) not enter the school, business or place of employment of you or your family/household members for the purpose of violating the protective order; and
(3) stop contacting, telephoning, communicating with, harassing or verbally abusing you.***
An emergency protective order will include the following terms:
You can file a petition in the county where you live (either permanently or temporarily), in the county where the abuser lives, or in the county where the abuse took place. If you are getting a divorce, you can also file the petition in the county where the divorce proceedings are taking place.*
* W. Va. Code § 48-27-302

1997 Census of Transportation
The 1997 Census of Transportation and Warehousing was issued in two publication series: Subject and Geographic Area. Detailed holdings are described below, with links to the web versions. The Business Library has acquired print versions of selected volumes only.
This information is also available on the 1997 Economic Census: Transportation and Warehousing web site, from the U.S. Census Bureau. The full text of all the reports is available (in PDF format), as well as the data tables in HTML, explanatory materials and links to related sites.
You can also access the data via American FactFinder.
Volumes that contain tables specifically about New York are highlighted.
Definition: The Transportation and Warehousing sector includes industries providing transportation of passengers and cargo, warehousing and storage for goods, scenic and sightseeing transportation, and support activities related to modes of transportation. Establishments in these industries use transportation equipment or transportation related facilities as a productive asset. The type of equipment depends on the mode of transportation. The modes of transportation are air, rail, water, road, and pipeline.
Many of the establishments in this sector often operate on networks, with physical facilities, labor forces, and equipment spread over an extensive geographic area.
Excluded from this sector are establishments primarily engaged in providing travel agent services that support transportation and other establishments, such as hotels, businesses, and government agencies. These establishments are classified in Sector 56, Administrative and Support, Waste Management, and Remediation Services. Also, establishments primarily engaged in providing rental and leasing of transportation equipment without operator are classified in Subsector 532, Rental and Leasing Services.
