CM/ECF Frequently Asked Questions
Last Updated: April 2, 2013
1. What is CM/ECF?
ANSWER: Case Management/Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) is the Federal Judiciary's new electronic case filing system that allows trained and certified users to file new bankruptcy cases, adversary proceedings or documents right from their computer. The system uses standard computer hardware, an Internet connection and browser, plus software to format a document for electronic filing.
2. What are the benefits of CM/ECF for attorneys, trustees, and the general public?
ANSWER: Benefits include: 24-hour availability for filing bankruptcy cases, adversary proceedings, and documents; immediate confirmation to filers of documents; automatic e-mail notice of case activity; 24-hour access to electronic files to view and print docket sheets, claims registers, and other reports; reduced paper and copying costs; and reduced courier and mailing costs.
3. How does electronic filing work?
ANSWER: To file electronically, attorneys create their documents on their computers just as they normally do. Instead of printing the document on paper, however, attorneys save it in a portable document format that can be read by others with all formatting intact regardless of the type of computer or word processor they use. Attorneys then access the electronic filing system through their Internet provider over the World Wide Web. After establishing their identity by providing a Court-assigned user identification name and password that serves as their signature for electronically filed documents, attorneys indicate the case number that their document applies to, the party the document is being filed on behalf of, and the type of document (answer, motion, etc.) being filed. The document is then sent over the Internet to the Court's computer which immediately sends a receipt back to the attorney's screen verifying that the document has been received. The receipt can be printed or saved to disk for future reference. Additionally, the system automatically creates a docket entry and makes both the updated docket sheet as well as the document itself instantly available to anyone with access to the Internet and a PACER account. The system also sends e-mail notification of the filing to case participants who are registered to use the CM/ECF system.
4. What am I charged for in CM/ECF?
ANSWER: Users are not charged for filing documents using CM/ECF. Case participants who are registered to use the CM/ECF system receive a free electronic copy of all documents filed. When you receive a Notice of Electronic Filing in your e-mail, you will note that the case number and document number are both hyperlinks. You can click on the document number hyperlink to retrieve the pleading. That first retrieval when you have been served is free. Subsequent retrievals, even of documents you have electronically filed, will be charged $.10 per page. The maximum charge for any imaged document is $2.40. All users are advised to print or save the document during the initial viewing period in order to avoid future charges.
5. What do I need to file electronically?
ANSWER: System requirements are minimal and inexpensive. All that is needed is a personal computer, an Internet broadband connection, the Netscape Navigator browser (version 4.6x or higher), and Adobe Acrobat PDF Writer (to convert documents from a word processor format to portable document format). In addition, attorneys may need a scanner for imaging documents to be filed electronically that are not available in electronic format. Also refer to System Requirements for more specific information.
6. Can the general public view CM/ECF cases and the documents in those cases?
7. Who may file documents in the CM/ECF system?
8. Are attorneys required to electronically file documents?
Pursuant to Local Rule 5005-1, any document filed by an attorney shall be filed electronically using the court's Case Management/ Electronic Case Filing system. The clerk is authorized to amend the Electronic Case Files (ECF) Administrative Procedures in keeping with the needs of the court. Attorneys may obtain a registered user login and password for access to the CM/ECF system.
9. What is a Limited Use Participant?
ANSWER: An attorney requesting notice only, creditor representative, or court reporter/transcriber may obtain a Limited Filing User login and password for access to the CM/ECF system. Access to the CM/ECF system is restricted to filing of the following documents: Creditor Request for Notices, Proofs of Claim, Withdrawals or Transfers of Claim, Reaffirmation Agreements, and Notice of Mortgage Payment Change.
10. What is a Filing Agent?
An individual employed by a registered user may be a filing agent. A filing agent must submit a registration form and complete training as prescribed by the clerk of court. After registration and training, the filing agent will receive a login and password and the registered user may associate himself/herself to the filing agent's login. When a filing agent is no longer authorized to act on the registered user's behalf, the filing agent's login and password must be disassociated by the registered user.
11. How do PACER and CM/ECF fit together?
ANSWER: A separate CM/ECF login is required to file documents. Besides your CM/ECF login, a PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) account is also required to retrieve/view documents from the CM/ECF system. A PACER account may be obtained at: https://pacer.login.uscourts.gov and select "Register Now."
1. How does an attorney become an authorized CM/ECF user?
ANSWER: In order to file electronically, you must first register. The necessary forms can be obtained from the clerk's office or on this website. Once these forms have been completed and reviewed by the Clerk's Office, you will be contacted to complete training exercises or provide cross-certification documentation. Upon completion, a live login and password may be issued that will allow you to access the system to file documents electronically. In addition, you will need a PACER account to retrieve/view information from the system. A PACER account may be obtained at: https://pacer.login.uscourts.gov and select "Register Now."
2. Can I have the same filing login for all courts I practice in?
ANSWER: Since each court assigns the login in the CM/ECF system, it is not possible to obtain a universal filing login.
3. Can an attorney authorize someone in their office (such as a paralegal) to use their login name and password to file documents in CM/ECF?
ANSWER: Yes, but the court recommends that such access be very limited and controlled since whatever is filed under that name and password is deemed to have the attorney's signature on it.
4. My firm already has a PACER login and password. Do I need to establish a separate PACER account, or can I use the firm account?
ANSWER: The firm PACER account can be used for the query component of CM/ECF. However, if you would like to keep the billing separate from the firm's, you will need to establish a new PACER account. A PACER account may be obtained at: https://pacer.login.uscourts.gov.
5. Why am I getting an invalid login message?
ANSWER: Some common problems are that both the user code and password should be all lower case. CM/ECF passwords are case sensitive. If that looks good, check the location of the website in the location window of Netscape or Explorer. Use the "live" login and password for the live database and the "training" login and password for the training database.
6. Why do I get the Site Certification pages?
ANSWER: The first time you go into the CM/ECF site, you will get a series of Site Certificate pages, letting you know that the Court is encrypting the data while you are signed on to CM/ECF. On the third screen, you will have the opportunity to check a box that says "Accept this certificate forever." If you check this box these screens will not come up again. Simply click on "Next," "Finish," and finally "Continue" on the last screen.
7. Why do I get a second login screen after I've already logged into CM/ECF?
ANSWER: This is the PACER login screen that you get whenever you request a report or document from a case. The first time you log in, click on the box that says "Make this my default login" and you should not have to log in repeatedly.
8. I am changing firms. Do I need to establish a new CM/ECF login and password?
ANSWER: You do not need to register for CM/ECF more than once. Even if you change firms, your login remains valid. However, you must update your address, change your password, and e-mail information in the "Utilities" option in CM/ECF. If you share a PACER account with the firm, you will need to establish a new PACER login and password. A PACER account may be obtained at: https://pacer.login.uscourts.gov.
9. What should we do when an attorney leaves the firm?
ANSWER: When an attorney leaves a firm, both the attorney and the firm need to consider the implications to the CM/ECF noticing system. If cases will move with the attorney, all the attorney needs to do is change his/her e-mail notification setup and submit a change of address to the Clerk's Office. If cases will remain with the firm, the firm will need to ensure that the Court docket accurately reflects the proper attorney of record and that the new attorney of record is properly set up to receive e-mail notification. Law firms may also wish to consider the best method of handling e-mail addressed to the firm for the departed attorney. Summarily removing the attorney from the firm's e-mail system with no further action may result in notifications being missed. Firms may wish to consider whether their own e-mail systems should forward such e-mails to the attorney at his/her new address, or to another attorney within the firm.
See Local rules and Administrative Procedures.
1. How do I get my free copy of newly filed documents?
ANSWER: Attorneys of record and parties in a case that are registered to use the CM/ECF system, receive one free electronic copy of all documents filed. Attorneys and parties will receive an e-mail message containing a hyperlink to the document filed. Click on the hyperlink to view the document. The hyperlink will expire after the earlier of these two events: the first use or 30 days. Any time that same hyperlink is accessed after it has expired, the user will be asked for a PACER login and password and will be charged to view the document. All users are advised to print or save the document during the initial viewing period in order to avoid future charges.
2. If I forward an e-mail notification I received to another individual, will that individual be charged for the document?
ANSWER: The document within an e-mail notification is accessed by a hyperlink. This hyperlink takes you to a site which will allow the first viewing to be free. The first individual to view the linked document will not be charged. If you forward the e-mail notification without viewing the document, the recipient of the e-mail will be able to view the document for free. Anytime after the first viewing, a charge will be incurred to view the document. All users are advised to print or save the document during the initial viewing period in order to avoid future charges.
3. Is there a limit to the size of the document being filed in CM/ECF?
ANSWER: Yes, the larger the file, the longer it will take to upload into a case. We require file size to be at or below 3 megabytes. This equates to about 50 pages.
4. What are the scanner settings for documents uploaded into CM/ECF?
Parties filing documents with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of North Dakota should adjust their scanner settings to allow for a minimum of 300 pixels per inch (ppi) or Resolution (300 dpi). NARA's Acceptable Image Quality Specifications are:
Scanned images of textual records transferred to NARA must meet the following minimum requirements for scanning resolution and pixel (bit) depth to support archival preservation and continued use.
3.2.1 Bitonal (1-bit) scanned at 300-600 ppi.
This is appropriate for documents that consist exclusively of clean printed type possessing high inherent contrast (e.g., laser printed or typeset on a white background). Scanning at 600 ppi is recommended.
3.2.2 Gray scale (8-bit) scanned at 300-400 ppi.
This is appropriate for textual documents of poor legibility because of low inherent contrast, staining or fading (e.g., carbon copies, thermofax, or documents with handwritten annotations or other markings), or that contain halftone illustrations or photographs. Scanning at 400 ppi is recommended.
3.2.3 Color (24-bit RGB [Red, Green, Blue]) scanned at 300-400 ppi.
Color mode (if technically available) is appropriate for text containing color information important to interpretation or content. Scanning at 400 ppi is recommended.
5. How can I verify whether or not all the documents I filed electronically were posted?
ANSWER: To ensure the documents transmitted arrive in their entirety, it is important to examine the document after it is received by the court. This can be done by viewing the docket sheet for the case and selecting the transmitted document. The number of the transmitted documents appears on your Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF).
6. How will the clerk's office ensure that documents have been filed accurately?
ANSWER: The clerk's office will review every document that is electronically filed to ensure that:
7. How will erroneous docket entries be corrected?
ANSWER: CM/ECF allows court personnel to edit errors made in the docket entry. Besides making the appropriate corrections, the Court will notify the filer either by e-mail or telephone. When necessary, the filer may be asked to re-file the document. The Court will use a "corrective entry" event, which officially records substantive errors on the docket sheet and will generate a Notice of Electronic Filing. This allows the distribution of the correct information to the participants who originally received the erroneous information.
8. Will CM/ECF allow docketing in closed cases?
1. What is a PDF document?
ANSWER: Portable Document Format (PDF) is a universal file format that preserves all the fonts, formatting, graphics, and color of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it. PDF files are compact and can be shared, viewed, navigated, and printed exactly as intended by anyone with free Adobe Acrobat Reader software. You can convert any document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat software. All of the pleadings in the CM/ECF system are stored in PDF format.
2. What is Adobe Acrobat?
ANSWER: Adobe Acrobat is a commercial software product from Adobe that allows you to save your documents in PDF (portable document format). Adobe also distributes a program called Acrobat Reader that allows you to view and print (but not create) PDF documents. Further information is available at www.adobe.com.
3. Do I have Adobe Acrobat Writer?
ANSWER: To check if you have Acrobat Writer, follow the steps below:
4. I see I can get Acrobat Reader for free on Adobe's website. Why should I pay for it?
ANSWER: Adobe does provide a PDF Reader for free on its website and that works fine for viewing documents. However, in order to create and subsequently file PDF documents, you will need to obtain Adobe Acrobat PDFWriter, version 3.0 or higher.
5. Do I need a scanner?
ANSWER: The actual document you submit as a PDF is usually generated using a word processor or bankruptcy case preparation software. Generally, if you produce documents on a personal computer and print them on a printer, you can produce a PDF version of these documents without a scanner. If attachments, exhibits, or other items exist only on paper, you will need to scan them to submit them electronically as a PDF. Low-volume scanners are inexpensive.
6. How do I create a PDF file?
ANSWER: The optimal method for creating a PDF document for filing in CM/ECF is to create the document directly from a word processing application using Adobe Acrobat's PDFWriter. After you have created the document in your word processing application, "print" the document, and select the "printer" called "Acrobat PDFWriter" from the drop down list of available printers. That process will actually save a file in PDF format, with a ".pdf" file extension. Also see Creating PDF Documents.
Note: The newer versions of some word processors include the ability to publish a document to PDF built right into the word-processing software. In WordPerfect 9 the "Publish to PDF" option is on the File menu. This option is not recommended because the file created is unnecessarily large.
7. How do I save a PDF text file to my word processor?
ANSWER: There are a number of ways to save a PDF file. See also PDF Document Basics.
1. How can I create a shortcut icon on my desk top that will take me directly to the CM/ECF site?
ANSWER: While on the Desktop screen, right click the mouse and then click on "New," then "Shortcut." The next screen will ask for a command line. For example, to setup a shortcut to the CM/ECF live site, type "https://ecf.ndb.uscourts.gov/" in the space and then click "next." Enter the name of the shortcut and click "Finish." Other options are to bookmark this site or add this site to your personal toolbar.
2. Where do I get Netscape, Mozilla, or Adobe Acrobat?
ANSWER: Netscape is available free at www.netscape.com. Firefox is available at www.mozilla.org. Adobe also has a website www.adobe.com.
3. I can't get to your CM/ECF website, but other attorneys at my firm don't have that problem?
POSSIBLE ANSWER: If you get to the login screen, and the system hangs when you try to complete your login, then something is blocking the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) port 443 (that's the point where we transition from web port 80 to SSL port 443). The systems person at your firm needs to look at the router and any firewalls the firm has set up to determine where the blocking is taking place. Attorneys at a firm may experience this problem while other attorneys at the same firm do not, because they may be directed to different proxy servers.
4. When I get an e-mail that something is filed, I can't view the document. What's wrong?
POSSIBLE ANSWER: If you get a login screen when you request the document, make sure you enter your PACER login and password and not your CM/ECF login and password. Also make sure your e-mail system is set to open links with an Internet Browser, e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
5. When I try to get my document from a Notice of Electronic Filing, I get an "Internal Server Error" message. Is your server having trouble?
POSSIBLE ANSWER: The first time you use the link in a Notice of Electronic Filing to view a document, you use up the "free look" you get. Every subsequent time you use the link in the Notice of Electronic Filing, you will get a PACER login screen. If you use your CM/ECF login at that point, instead of a PACER login, you may provoke the "Internal Server Error" message. Just hit BACK and try a PACER login and password instead.
6. How long will it take to transmit or receive a document?
ANSWER: The time it takes to transmit or receive a document primarily depends on the user's Internet Service Provider (ISP), modem speed, and the type of PDF file being transmitted or received. The CM/ECF system will accept both text and image PDF files. The text PDF file is usually the result of saving a document from a word processor in PDF format. The image PDF file is usually created by scanning a paper document in PDF format. The text file can be transmitted and received 15 to 20 times faster than the image file because it is much smaller in size. While this difference in speed is usually not noticeable in a 1 or 2 page document, the difference can be significant when a document reaches about 20 pages in length.
Here are a couple of rough approximations of what you might expect for upload or download time for different kinds of connections for a megabyte of data (approximately one million characters, spaces included). These are only approximations.
7. I received a "DATA MISSING" error, and was sent back to a login prompt. What's wrong?
POSSIBLE ANSWER: If you attempt to re-size your browser window, you will provoke the error "Data Missing - This document resulted from a POST operation and has expired from the cache. If you wish you can repost the form data to recreate the document by pressing the reload button." No matter what you do, you will have to log in and start over. You can minimize your browser window without ill effect, but trying to change its size will guarantee you a free trip back to the login prompt. This is a known bug in the application, and has been reported to the developers and will, we hope, be corrected in a future release.
8. I can get a docket sheet, but when I try to retrieve a document I can't read the file?
POSSIBLE ANSWER: You do not need Acrobat software to view a docket sheet, but you do need it to view documents. You might have Acrobat PDF Reader on your machine, but have not connected it to Netscape.
9. When I print an image from CM/ECF, the right edge gets cut off?
ANSWER: Click on the print icon. Click on "Shrink to Fit" box on the printer setup screen. Once you change this setting, it should stay that way for all PDF documents.
10. I tried to file a document but is says "format not recognized" -- what am I doing wrong?
ANSWER: All documents must be submitted in Adobe PDF (portable document format) with an extension of ".pdf." Two common errors occur.
First, a user thinks that he/she saved the document in PDF. The user then tries to file the WordPerfect/Word version of the document; not the saved PDF version.
Second, a user fails to indicate the full path name for the PDF file he/she wants to upload. Because the system could not find the file, it responded with the "format not recognized" message. The solution--provide the full path name when identifying the file (example: "c:\documents\motion.pdf") during the upload process.
11. I'm trying to docket an event and it tells me that this transaction has already been posted, but I look on the docket and it's not there.
POSSIBLE ANSWER: What has probably happened is that you docketed an event for a case, and then clicked on the Netscape back button a few times to get to a point where you could enter another case number and then docketed another event. By clicking the back button, instead of clicking on 'Bankruptcy Events' you are keeping the information pulled for the last case you docketed. As long as you click on the menu item instead of clicking on Back you will be fine - only use the back button to correct a mistake on an event you are in the process of docketing, not to change cases. You also may want to clear your browser cache.
12. Why can I not access a previous page viewed by clicking on the "Back" button on the browser after selecting a link?
ANSWER: Unlike most programs, a web browser will open multiple windows. In other words, two or more windows in which the browser appears may be active at the same time. Look at the tool bar at the bottom of the screen, this is the same bar where the start button is located. If the Netscape logo appears on two different buttons, you have more than one window open. Click on the button that is not active (not highlighted) to open the previous window. If there is only one window open, click on the "GO" menu item at the very top of the screen; a drop down menu will appear where you can click on the address of the page to which you wish to return.
13. I receive a "Data Missing" error when I try to print reports from CM/ECF?
POSSIBLE ANSWER: Some users have reported when trying to print large dockets or other reports from the CM/ECF system that they received an error message stating: "Data Missing - This document resulted from a POST operation and has expired from the cache. If you wish you can repost the form data to recreate the document by pressing the reload button." To fix this problem, we recommend increasing the size of your cache dramatically. In Netscape 4, this can be accomplished by going to: Edit > Preferences. Double click on Advanced. Click on Cache. The size of the memory and disk cache will be displayed. Increase the size of each and click OK. You should close your browser and restart it before continuing.
14. When I query a case in CM/ECF, it gives me the previous case I looked at instead.
POSSIBLE ANSWER: Check your Cache settings.
15. When you call the Bankruptcy Clerk's office you were told that you have to clear your cache.
The "cache" is a location on your hard drive where data is stored. When you search the internet, your computer keeps track of every page you have visited and saves this information on your hard drive. We have found that if this file becomes large (i.e., many pages searched), the result may be a loss of docketing/category options. See Clearing Browser Cache.

Northwestern is apologizing for any misconceptions about uniforms it plans to wear against Michigan next week.
The Wildcats will trade their familiar purple for the red, white and blue when they host the Wolverines on Nov. 16 to honor the Wounded Warrior Project, which supports wounded service members.
The uniforms are attracting some negative attention for its treatment of the American flag. It features what to some look like blood-stains on the flag.
Critics are calling the design showing the flag with blood "crass" and a bit too much.
Northwestern spokesman Paul Kennedy said Monday it's a "distressed pattern on both the stars and stripes that was inspired by the appearance of a flag that has flown proudly over a long period of time" and apologized "for any misinterpretation." He added Boston College used a similar design last year.
After the game, the Under Armour jerseys will be auctioned off on the Northwestern University website with all proceeds benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to honor and empower America's wounded warriors.
Each of the players' last names on the back of their jersey will be replaced with one of the seven core value embellishments: duty, honor, courage, commitment, integrity, country and service.
Fans can visit UA.com or a Northwestern campus bookstore to purchase their own fan gear with a percentage of the proceeds supporting WWP.
To learn more about how you can support the Wounded Warrior Project or the UA Freedom initiative, visit www.ua.com/freedom or www.woundedwarriorproject.org.

Pocono Palace…where I will spend part of my honeymoon with some lucky broad.
EDIT: for those wondering, the bottom part of the glass (stem and base) are "sliced" in half vertically - the mirror behind it makes it seem whole. There is a side stairway (partially visible in the 1st and 3rd photos), that one goes up, and at the top is a doorway (visible in the 3rd photo) and landing. The tub part of the glass is embedded level with the landing and juts out into the room a bit - one just steps down into the glass tub from there. You don't have to jump in (unless you want to), and you can't knock it over (I suppose you could heave the tub up and off the landing if you really tried, but it's not balancing on the stem and base as it first appears).

text: Level 38 on Candy Crush Saga is presents a pretty specific challenge to all the crushers out there: Freeing the candies from the cages. This is no easy task as the candies in the cage can not be moved, and need to be matched with two of the same candies in order to be freed. If this level you have 18 caged candies, 18 whip cream obstacles, and a whole lot of jelly to clear. All of the jellies need to be cleared to win the board and you must get ride of the cages and whip cream first in order to do so. So how can you beat this level? First of all, concentrate on creating vertical striped candy pieces. This is done by swiping a candy up or down into a match that combines FOUR of the same candies instead of the usual 3. Once the vertical striped candies are used, it will clear the entire row, including cages and whipped cream. You'll find that once a couple rows go away, it is much easier to get rid of the rest. Secondly, try to clear the jellies in the corner first. These will be the toughest ones to get rid of, and if you wait till the end, you have a much greater chance of it not happening. Don't take moves clearing out the middle jellies that will likely be cleared out naturally. --- You will win if: You are able to successfully take out 3-5 cages in your first few moves Look out for: Wasting moves that don't clear jellies, remove cages, or eliminate whipped cream obstacles +CandyCrushTips

I sewed three tops from one two-pieced pattern., one without and two with a "cutout" or wide keyhole front, which is trending now. This pattern is not only ideal for beginners and/or those who are new to knits, but also a wonderful way to use fabric remnants of previous projects.
For a smoother finish, I used bias strips in the corresponding fabrics to finish the necklines and armscyes.

Alström syndrome
Alström syndrome is a very rare inherited disease that can lead to blindness, deafness, diabetes, and obesity.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Alström syndrome is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder. This means that a person must inherit a copy of the defective gene from both parents to be affected. It is extremely rare, but is more common in Holland and Sweden than in the United States.
The altered gene, ALMS1, has been found. However, it is not yet known how this gene causes the disorder.
- Blindness or severe vision impairment in infancy
- Dark patches of skin (acanthosis nigricans)
- Deafness
- Impaired heart function (cardiomyopathy), which may lead to heart failure
- Obesity
- Progressive kidney failure
- Slowed growth
- Symptoms of childhood-onset or type 2 diabetes
Occasionally, the following can also occur:
- Gastrointestinal reflux
- Hypothyroidism
- Liver dysfunction
- Small penis
Signs and tests
An eye doctor (ophthalmologist) will examine the eyes. The patient may have reduced vision.
Tests may be done to check:
- Blood sugar levels (to diagnose hyperglycemia)
- Hearing
- Heart function
- Thyroid function
- Triglyceride levels
There is no specific treatment for this syndrome. Treatment for symptoms may include:
- Diabetes medication
- Hearing aids
- Heart medications
- Thyroid hormone replacement
Support Groups
Alström Syndrome International -- www.alstrom.org
Expectations (prognosis)
The following are likely to develop:
- Deafness
- Permanent blindness
- Type 2 diabetes
Kidney and liver failure may get worse.
- Complications from diabetes
- Coronary artery disease (from diabetes and high cholesterol)
- Fatigue and shortness of breath (if poor heart function isn't treated)
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you suspect symptoms of diabetes such as increased thirst and urination. Seek medical attention promptly if you suspect that your infant or child cannot see or hear normally.

The wind was coming 10 miles an hour out of the East, yet there were no whitecaps. It was one of the slowest weekends in Grand Isle I had ever fished. I was about to throw out my popping cork again when my dad said, "If you want, you can throw your soft plastics. Nothing's biting so you might have some luck on that." I then started throwing my chartreuse swim bait.
After about ten casts, I felt a large bump on the end of my line, my rod started to bend, so I set the hook on a nice 15-and-1/2 inch trout. When I got the trout in the boat, I told my brother, who despises artificial lures, "Don't talk bad about my plastics, I just caught the first fish." He then responded by saying, "Do it again."
Soon, after a quick move to Fifi Island, and a couple of casts which yielded a 16-inch trout. My little brother was amazed. He replied, "Good job." My grandfather then decided to switch to a plastic under a popping cork.
A couple of minutes later, my brother got a trout on a live shrimp, so we decided to stay. Shortly after my brother got his trout, he started singing to himself while sitting on the top of the boat motor. He didn't notice, but my grandfather, my dad, and I were laughing at him.
After my brother caught his fish, I threw a couple of casts off the back of the boat and hooked my last trout of the day. Finally, after half an hour, my dad decided to pick up and go back to the camp.
This story makes me feel good about myself, because it was the first time I ever caught trout on artificial bait.

We strolled out into the hot summer night in Grand Isle with our rods and boxes of tackle. It was half-past eleven, the air was sticky, and the smell of fish permeated through it. My dad and I came up on the empty spot to set our supplies down on the pier. Baiting out hooks with shrimp through the faint glow of the lamps, I was ready to cast off into the murky waters of the Gulf.
Soaring out a hundred yards or so, I vigilantly watched my cork bob up and down through my tired eyes for what seemed like hours. When I reeled in my line, there was only a fragment of a shrimp left on my hook; sleepily I dragged myself over to the shallow waters right up on the beach.
Once again I lazily dropped my hook in the water and had several of the smaller fish nibble on the already half-eaten shrimp. Many times I baited my line, for the fish were continually stealing the shrimp. As I would reel back in and cast out again, a family on the opposite side of the old pier was catching speckled trout like butterflies in a net. I squeezed into a tiny space next to a lady in a red hat, and I carefully watched my cork.
Still coming up empty handed, I decided to change my hook to an orange jig head. Because it was quite windy, I cast out without any bait and the probability of getting tangled in someone's line. Suddenly, my luck greatly changed, as the brightly colored orange cork I had been watching all night disappeared underwater. Now wide awake, I reeled in my line as fast as I could and slammed the fish down on the pier to stop it from flipping and flopping all around. Hurriedly, I snatched a near towel to pry the scaly trout from my now empty hook, and held it high like a trophy for everyone to see the enormous fish.
With only one fish in the ice chest, and at least four hours of fishing well into the morning, my dad and I packed up our gear into the truck's bed. At a quarter past three, we arrived back at the camp ready to shower up and go to bed. All in all, despite only catching one fish, we were fortunate it was a good fishing trip.

It was hot and sunny day in Grand Isle, Louisiana. My mom said it was a good day to fish. We walked across the street from our camp to the beach. There were brown pelicans flying in formation overhead. On the dunes, the grass was high. The light brown sand was hot on our feet. There were gray, jagged pieces of driftwood scattered across the beach.
Before our three-hour trip south of the coast, my dad made crab fishing lines from some metal poles he got at work and some string. Dad waded out in the calm water midway from the big rocks to set the lines. I got some turkey necks from the ice chest. I tied them on the four white strings that dangling down into the water. My sister and I went on the beach to rest.
A few minutes later, we waded back out to the crab line. There were blue crabs biting the turkey necks. I took my little, white net with the brown wooden handle and carefully scooped the crabs into my net. I waded back to shore struggling against the tide with my first crab in the net. I put the crab in a big box my mom got on the shore. This was so much fun! Sometimes, it was disappointing when the crabs were too quick and swim away before I could catch them. By the end of the day though, we had caught plenty. I felt proud when we had a crab boil with some of our neighbors that night because I had helped to catch our meal.

My family has an outdoor patio that has a free-standing chimney. Inside the chimney, there is a group of chimney swift birds. They have been living there for about three months. After about one month, they had babies.
I always hear the chimney swift birds chirping when I go outside on the patio. Sometimes I see one of the parents go out and hunt for food. When one of the parents comes back with the food, I think the babies fight to get the food. There are about 3 to 5 babies in that nest, so I think it would be hard to raise them because when it is feeding time the mom or dad has to take 3 to 4 trips. They have to teach the little ones how to fly and how to survive. Because of all these reasons I see it would be very hard to raise and take care of a bird.
I took my flashlight and looked up the chimney. I saw the family of birds. I think the birds were hungry because they were chirping so loud that I have to cover my ears. Their neck was stuck to the side of the chimney. I saw one of the parents fly out of the chimney.
Before I saw the parents come out to hunt for food, I have always wondered what they hunted for, but I know now. I did some research in a bird book. they eat an insect diet. Chimney swift birds fly high and quick in the sky when hunting for food.
I love to watch the chimney swift birds because they swoop when flying. I think they are wonderful creatures. I an glad they are my neighbors outside on my patio. I do hope that when my dad lights our fireplace, they will stick around in the wintertime!

It was a cold morning, one of the those mornings when frost glittered on leaves and grass. The eastern horizon's faint rays cast a dazzling show on the quiet, frozen swamp. The mirror-like sheen of the ice showed itself betwixt gaps in the towering cypress trees. At the base of several trees, steam rose slowly from in between brush and bracken. This steam issued forth from four men's icy lips. They were barely visible in clothing that revealed no other colors than subdued hues of green and brown. Each of these men clutched at a shotgun whose barrels carefully stuck out of the twisted, dead vegetation. The steam and the gun barrels were the only two features distinguishable that gave a hint to the humans' presence.
Under a particularly stunted and forlorn cypress tree, a smaller path of vapor drifted towards the cloudy, pink-streaked sky. It issued forth from a bush where concealed inside stood a young boy. The water reached to his shins, and he occasionally lifted his feet to keep the ice from encroaching around the rubber soles of his boots. Anticipation flooded the boy's senses. This was his first time upon the flooded timber. The cold merely sharpened his straining eyes that searched the gloom hanging above him. His flushed, pink ears detected each distinct sound that invaded the surrounding stillness. His stiff hand grasped fore-end of the small shotgun until his knuckles turned white.
A sudden flurry of wing beats caused the concealed watchers to jump with a start. The boy looked up with sudden excitement. two dark bodies hurtled overhead with a whistling of feathers upon the cold, hard air. The light began to steadily increase as more black shapes sped past, twisting and diving through the tree-top network. Then the relative quietness was shattered by a high-pitched squeal, followed by many answering calls. It was not light enough for the boy to make out the crisp colors of one of the flying pairs. One was a mottled brown, while her mate shone with a grace of colors that seemed only fit for the courts of kings. Blues, reds, greens and majestic maroons formed a sphere around the flying body. The two travelers dropped from their airborne venture and began drifting down to an ice-free spot in the water. the boy lifted his firearm to his shoulder and fired a single shot. The beautiful shape began to fall with an increased speed to the ground, while the other changed direction and soared upward.
The boy had done it. He had achieved his dream at last of harvesting this majestic wood duck. It was at that point in the boy's life that he knew his way of life would forever be a part of him. The hunting tradition on that day, ingrained itself into the now young man. He vowed that day to protect and honor this God-given right. He was forever changed after that day, and every chance he was given, he related his story to others so that they would be able to appreciate the time-honored tradition.

I spent the whole night waiting for the special morning. I'd been looking forward to going squirrel hunting since my dad's co-worker brought his dog down. I missed the first hunt and was determined to be up for this one. I got up at 6 a.m., and pulled on my camo shirt and jeans. Grabbing my camo booksack, filling it with a water bottle and shells, I ran out the door just as my brother came to hand me my 20 gauge.
Then, I stood out on the carport and waited with my brother, dad, cousin and another one of my dad's co-workers. We heard a Dodge pull up on the gravel driveway and cross the cattle guards. Our dogs started barking like crazy at the big white crate in the back of the big, white truck. I was told to load up the truck, so I put in the guns and ammo.
After introductions, we all piled in the trucks and headed to the back of our property. Next thing I knew, Mr. Myron Tyler opened the crate and let out his squirrel dog, "Buster." He was brown and white and had black striped resembling a tiger. As soon as he jumped out the back of the truck, his nose was in the air sniffing. Mr. Myron's son, Mr. Wade, started to set up the remote to Buster's collar. It tracked him by telling how far away he was and in what direction.
Soon we were off, headed to the woods. My dad and I knew where there were loads of squirrels from deer hunting in the woods for years. We trekked through the thick woods, leaves rustling and twigs snapping. After sliding under barbed-wire fences, jumping over small streams and crawling through creeks for what seemed like hours running after Buster, we finally heard a glorious noise. It was the sound of howling from Buster. My heart instantly started pounding.
I loaded my gun as they started circling a tree. We all looked up in search of a flash of fur.
"Got 'em!" yelled my cousin from the opposite side of the tree. then the smell of gun smoke filled the air as the squirrel dropped on the ground from fifteen feet up. It landed with a thud, and Buster skidded over as fast as his legs could carry him to throw it in the air and catch it again in his mouth.
Mr. Myron had to prove to Buster that every squirrel was dead by saying, "Dead Buster! Dead!" Then, Buster would drop the squirrel and whoever shot it would put it in his sack.
My dad nudged me as I was clicking my gun back on safety. "You have to be quick, get to where you can see as much of the tree as you can and shoot as soon as you see a squirrel."
The next time we heard the sweet barking of Buster I got the first sight of it. I put the bead of my gun on its head, put the gun on fire, then yelled out, "Got 'em!" Then I squeezed the trigger.
I watched the squirrel falling out of the fork of the tree in slow motion. It finally hit the ground and along came Buster, snatching it up. My brother gave me a pat on the back. "Congratulations Couyon!" He's been calling me that nickname since I was a little kid.
Mr. Wade handed me the rodent, and pointed out my bullet hole. "Right in the head, girl!"
More congratulations came from all the guys, then Mr. Myron pulled out a camera and told me to hold Buster and the squirrel. So I posed with my squirrel and the dog as he snapped a picture.
"I like taking pictures of people's first squirrels," Mr. Myron explained to me as I slipped the tree rat into my dad's sack.
We went on for about four more hours, walking about three miles and shot seventeen squirrels. I put lead in about eleven of those seventeen, due to the fact some would get stuck in forks, and we'd have to blow them out. Other squirrels, we just all got so excited to see, we all shot at.
There was one fox squirrel in particular we came across as we came out the woods that everyone shot at at least twice, but it seemed like he just would not go down. But finally he came tumbling down out of the tree. My dad, Mr. Myron, Mr. Wade, my cousin Brennon, brother Matt, Mr. Brandon and I gathered around the big squirrel and admired all the shot we put in it.
The very last squirrel was a huge fox squirrel. As we were about to drive off, my brother spotted him sitting on a limb. He told my dad to stop and pulled out his gun, loaded it, and shot it out the limb.
After the hunt, all the guys spent time making fun of me for being the only girl there, but complimenting me on my shooting. Mr. Myron, Mr. Wade and Mr. Brandon left, along with Buster and a couple squirrels. We were left with about ten to skin. My brother and cousin taught me how while my dad was inside prepping to make squirrel stew.
I'll never forget my first squirrel hunt, because it was then that I realized it is my favorite type of hunting, since it's so much fun with lots of action and moving around.

It all started in the early 1940s when I was only 8 years old. I was born to a poor family in southern Montana. We did not have much, and predominantly lived off the land. She was our provider and benefactor. She gave us all we needed and more. I have many vague, but fond memories of my father bringing home trophies to add to out stew pot.
My first excursion with him is as fresh in my mind as if it happened yesterday. We set out in the old grizzled farm truck towards the hazy mountains in the distance. They were barely visible as the golden streaks of a new day came over the horizon. It was a cold day, and I had every piece of clothing I owned wrapped around my body like a swollen Eqyptian mummy. When we arrived at the foothills, we parked and began to make our way up the growing incline. Snow was lightly falling, sparkling among the forlorn aspen groves. I remember it being like some strange ballet the snowflakes were performing with my father and I being the sole audience members. As we neared the top of a steep ridge, my trance was broken by the familiar bellow of the majestic bull elk or wapiti. It originated from deep within the valley below and continued to echo around the surrounding hills for what seemed like an eternity. My heart jumped into my throat and refused to go back down. I will never forget that first bugle of my nemesis and later friend.
We began our long descent through the crowded underbrush and families of trees. All of a sudden the land opened up before our eyes into a fair meadow with a sea of grass that flowed and rippled with the wind. Across this pasture several dark shapes were contrasted against the wall of white aspen trees. As the wary sun rose and breached the top of the opposite mountain, the herd of elk became easily distinguishable. At the front of them with towering antlers reaching towards the cloudy sky stood the most kingly of creatures that ever graced the Earth. He was clearly the creator of the beautiful music that we had recently experienced atop the ridge. He seemed to possess an aura of sage knowledge through many years spent ruling the mountaintops. The immense crown branching from his head was quite obviously his symbol of authority over the throngs of lesser creatures of which I felt a part.
My father and I stood awestruck and looked at each other in order to confirm we were not hallucinating, but when we looked back up, the mystical bull was gone along with his royal court. We searched the snow-covered forest for hours, but never found any sign of this regal animal. This was my first experience with the one who would, from that day forward, be know as "The King."
Over the next 20 years I pursued the noble beast zealously, at first with my father, but later alone on the wind-stripped mountains. He haunted my every waking moment as well as my glorious dreams. Occasionally I would encounter him as a single antler flying through the brush or as a distant bugle that could not be mistaken for anything else but His own composition. Yet he forever eluded me, never presenting me with a shot. Other hunters learned of The King as well and traveled from far and wide to try their luck with the ghost of the forest. They all eventually returned home, travel-stained and weary with no tangible evidence of His existence. The others' failed attempts only strengthened my resolve to go on with the chase.
The day of November 19, 1962, I set out once again towards the royal mountains on a crisp, clear day. I found a likely crest where the trees were evenly spaced and provided clean views of the steep slope below. I sat with my back to a lofty maple and soon drifted into a light sleep with The King on my mind. Some primitive instinct stirred me from my slumbers, and as I opened my bleary eyes, all I could see was a polished crown of antlers. I had to reassure myself that I was not still dreaming. He had come like a thief in the night and now stood a mere 30 yards away. His features were a thousand times personified from my first memories of Him. I could not help but stare for a few, breathless moments, but then I thought to my rifle curled in the crook of my arm. I slowly raised it to my shoulder and leveled it on his barrel chest. My finger went to the trigger, but I did not fire. My gun lowered from my shaking body, and I stared at my adversary. His magnificent head turned towards my unworthy form, and his deep, black eyes focused on mine. I felt something deep within me change. We understood each other. His eyes seemed endless al all-knowing, and I could not wrench myself from their gaze, nor did I want to. My stupor was broken as He ghosted through the undergrowth with only the tips of His crown showing.
After that day, I was forever changed. I finally understood why The King has come into my life. Through the tireless pursuit of him, I had learned patience, determination, and what it truly meant to live. I was 28 years old on that day and had a full life ahead of me, which I spent in pursuit of other game, living as my father had and his father before that, with the land to support and provide for me.
I an now and old man, and although I can feel time's final kiss creeping towards me, I have never, and will never, forget the prince of the forest that taught me so much. Even now as the shadows lengthen and the sun drops below the mountains, I can sometimes hear the wonderful music of His timeless bugle in the distance.

When people think of New Orleans, what do they think of? Great food, music, and Bourbon Street. Right? Well, when I think of New Orleans, I think of fishing in New Orleans' City Park.
By far, bass fishing is my favorite type of fishing to do in City Park. I enjoy fishing for perch and the invasive Rio Grande cichlids, but I will not tell you why bass fishing is definitely my favorite type of fishing in City Park.
On Mardi Gras Day 2013, my friend and I decided to go to the park to fish instead of going to parades. Despite the ghastly weather forecast, we decided to stick it out. We left as about 7:30 that morning, hoping to catch the tail end of the morning bite. Once my friend and I got there, we caught a couple of bass on the first few casts. Then it was just a dry spell after that. We had walked the bank for a couple of hours scanning for fat female bass cruising the shallows looking for beds or for females already on beds, but we found none. We decided just to cast out into deeper water looking for some female bass that hadn't moved up to spawn yet. I wound up catching one little male bass that was sitting on a bed right before a drop-off. Finally, my friend and I just decided to go back to our original spot to sit down and get a quick snack before getting back to fishing.
After we had finished out snack, we decided to stay in our original spot to fish, since we had caught a few bass there earlier in the morning. As we were fishing, a man was also fishing right next to us, and we talked to him very briefly about how the fish were biting. All three of us quickly got back to fishing.
The man walked across a bridge to an island no more than 40 feet away from where we were fishing. Right as he walked over to his spot on the island, my friend and I heard lots of splashing near where the man was fishing. The first thing I thought was, "That's either some male ducks fighting over a female, or that's a big bass." Sure enough, the man walked out from the island and across the bridge with not just a big bass, but a GIANT bass. I was amazed at how big the bass was. The biggest bass I had ever seen caught before in City Park was about 5 pounds. I had recently heard that there were really big bass in City Park, but I would have never thought that I would see somebody catch one.
The man who caught it was shaking and extremely excited, because it was, by far, the biggest bass he had caught in his entire life. Shortly after he crossed the bridge with the catch, my friend and I took out our cell phones and were rapidly taking pictures of this monstrous bass. We later found out that the bass was a City Park record bass, and the man's name was Kevin Schilling. The story of the catch was in an article in the local newspaper a few weeks later, and I was overjoyed to see that he mentioned my friend and me in the article. The bass weighed on a certified scale 9 pounds even.
That catch on Mardi Gras Day and the opportunity to catch a big one of my own is why I love bass fishing in City Park. Not many people think about fishing in a park when they think about New Orleans, but that is the first thing that always comes to my mind.

Rod. Reel. Tackle and bait. Spring fishing trips in the Sportsman's Paradise. On a Saturday morning just before Easter a couple of years ago, my dad and I went on a fishing trip to Old River. Even though I do not like waking up before dawn and loading everything up and in the boat, I jumped at the chance for a father-daughter day!
By the time we got to the landing and put the boat in the water, the sun was rising, and I knew it would be a great fishing trip. We took the short boat ride to our first fishing hole of the morning, and daddy caught a few sac-a-lait. I don't usually put a line in the water, and that day was no exception. With a few novels in the boat to keep me occupied, I was happy to help if needed and to soak up some sun. My dad pulled in quite a few sac-a-lait that morning before we called it a day and headed home, but not before showing me a beautiful bald eagle perched high in its nest on a cypress tree.
It was the closest I've ever been to a bald eagle, and gave me a lot to reflect on on the way back home. Whether we happen to be a human or an eagle, we all just want to enjoy God's bounty on Earth -- land or water. I've been back under that nest a few times since that Saturday, and each time I notice the changes.
On a recent trip to Old River, we noticed the eagle has enlarged the nest and had baby eagles. Watching the eagle's nest grow and change with every passing spring and summer spent fishing has taught me that we have so much to learn from our surroundings – things that cannot be taught from any textbook.

Seaton/Grubbs (Grob)
Find A Grave Memorial# 122423257 for Elizabeth M Grob Seaton. Just a question Tamara as the Seatons are in my line. The Missouri Marriage Certificate for John A Seaton and Elizabeth shows her last name as Grubb? Is Grubb an Americanization of Grob or was it an error in pronunciation in the original document?

Mary A Brown #95686818
This her information. Mary Adline Gossett b. 1887 d. 1912 was the first wife of Seth Luther Brown (Stone marker incorrectly is S. B. Brown) she was the mother of Mabel Brown Harper who is my husbands Great Grandmother. Seth Brown carried his mothers maiden name as did several of his siblings that were born out of wedlock. Other siblings last name Crawford. Seth's mother was known in Bremen as Aunt Beck Brown and I have a photo of her old home there. In 1920 Old Aunt Beck listed her occupation as a fortune teller! Interesting lady to be sure. Back to our subject Mary A Gossett Brown was the daughter of Thomas Francis Gossett b 1859 d 1922 and Jeanette Vincent b 1867 d 1938.
Information is sourced on Ancestry.com "Mary Jane Campbell Pedigree" of Muhlenberg County, Ky.

Stewart, Finis & Amma
Tamara, thank you for creating these memorials and for your tremendous contribution to Find A Grave. Finis 17199959 and Amma 1799966 are my great grandparents. Would you please consider transferring both memorials to my management? I have familial links to add, plus a correction to Finis' birth year--1869 vice 1868 which erroneously appears on his headstone. His year of birth is substantiated by the 1870 census. Thank you.

A pair of National Hockey League disciplinary hearings has resulted in fines, but not suspensions.
David Koci of the Colorado Avalanche has been fined for his hit on Washington Capitals defenceman Mike Green, while Ottawa Senators winger Jarkko Ruutu has been fined for his hit on Buffalo Sabres' Patrick Kaleta.
Koci, who averages 3 minutes 7 seconds of ice time per game, lined up Green and delivered a shoulder in between the neck and shoulder blade area of Green's jersey. Green did not see Koci coming and his visor smashed into the seamless glass at Pepsi Center.
Green, who had to be helped off the ice, was knocked woozy and left bleeding above his left eye.
Koci was assessed five minutes for boarding, five minutes for fighting after being engaged by Green's teammate John Erskine, and a game misconduct.
Ruutu received a game misconduct for boarding Kaleta in the opening minute of the second period of Wednesday's contest. Ruutu drove Kaleta's head into the glass and the Sabres pest needed to be helped off the ice.

After graduating with a degree in interior design, Melissa and Clay moved back to her hometown in Sarasota where she has been practicing interior design and personal styling for the past 7 years. On a recent trip back to Birmingham, Melissa was introduced to Pure Barre and fell in love with the technique. "I became addicted to Pure Barre because it was the most effective workout I had ever experienced. Even better, it combined my love of dance and fitness, set to amazing music. It instantly became my passion to share Pure Barre with Sarasota."

Dangerous Cold is Coming
January 03, 2014
Dangerously cold weather is headed out way. Extreme cold is expected to reach the Quad Cities on Sunday, and last through early Tuesday.
Meteorologist David Cousins, with the National Weather Service in Davenport, says Saturday will be pretty normal for this time of year, with highs in the upper 20's. But the mercury will begin to fall Saturday night to near zero, and stay near that level on Sunday. The real cold should begin to reach us Sunday night, around minus 20 degrees, along with northwest winds at 15 to 25 miles per hour.
"You're really going to notice that wind chill as low as 40 below zero and close to 45 below zero on Monday morning. It's very dangerously cold air when you factor in that wind as well."
And he predicts extreme cold will continue through Tuesday morning, with wind chills around minus 30, but then some "warmer" air should begin to move in.
"And the high temperature Tuesday will be in the single digits above zero which'll feel pretty nice after a couple of days below zero. And then it's just a little warmer each day after that."
The lower 20's on Wednesday and the upper 20's next Thursday and Friday will then bring us back to more normal conditions for early January. Many of the low temperature records for the beginning of the year in this area date back to the late 1800's when record-keeping began.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Stores are gearing up for the second wave of holiday shopping. This round is the post Christmas rush. Retailers are offering eye popping discounts trying to lure people in. And if you thought the malls were busy before Christmas, just wait until the following weekend.
"We do expect Saturday or Sunday of this week to produce a lot of shopper seeking value," said Bill Martin, founder, of ShopperTrak, which analyzes retail shopper traffic.
Marin said disappointing holiday sales left retailers scrambling to clear out inventory. Aeropostale is offering 70 percent off. Abercrombie and Fitch's entire store is 50 percent off. So is Banana Republic and the Gap.
Others, like Old Navy, are offering more off to shop in store, than online as stores prepare for their Spring lines to come in.
"We absolutely do expect to see deeper sales and deeper discounts," Martin said. "In fact we are already seeing some of it where we are hearing of 60, 70 and 75 percent off. And the real motivation there is to try and make sure they are clearing their shelves. Last year the ended the year with a lot of inventory in hand and they would really like not to do that this year."
Gift cards are also driving down prices. Retailers hope to lure shoppers to spend the ones they got for Christmas, before the end of the year so they can count them in 2013 profits.
A year that may end with disappointment for stores, even if these eye popping after Christmas sales generate the last ditch shopping rush retailers are hoping for.
"When you start seeing discounts that go beyond 30 or 40 percent, you know that that's a sign of pressure on the sales number," Martin said. "And even if they are generating more traffic as a result of the deep discounts, it's hard to drive that revenue number up and maintain the margin."
Martin said holiday sales are actually up slightly this year compared to last just not as much as retailers forecast. ShopperTrak predicts we will set a record this year for holiday sales.
