My ancestors who came from the small towns of Irsch, Oberzerf and Serrig in Kreis Saarburg, Rhineland, were peasant farmers or craftsmen. In the mid-19th century they left these villages and immigrated to the woodlands of Calumet County, Wisconsin to search for a better life. By means of this blog, take the opportunity to look into their houses, explore their villages, understand their daily labors and customs, and see how the lure of a new life in America called to them.

Nikolausabend/St. Nicholas Eve
This song about the much anticipated arrival of Saint Nicholas comes from the Hunsrück area of Germany
In my post about some significant holidays in the Christmas season, I did not mention St. Nicholas Day, or «Nikolausabend», perhaps because it was so familiar to me. This was not a little known saint's day in my small, German-American town. On the evening of December 5, St. Nicholas always came. Dad would knock on the door and ring sleighbells. He didn't dress up as St. Nicholas because he knew I was too scared to go to the door when he knocked. I would quiver with a mixture of fear and excitement and pray that my mom would not open the door until the good saint had gone on his way. By the time Mom looked outside, St. Nicholas had disappeared, leaving a brown paper bag filled with candy on the doorstep.
Ernst Mettlach, who grew up in the Trier region, says that as a child, St. Nicholas eve, the "Nikolausabend" was a major event in the year. He left that comment about my "The Magi and More" post, telling me that he wished the feast of St. Nicholas had been included. Since Ernst provided me with some very good information and photos as well, and because "Nikolausabend" is such an important German holiday, I am writing about it as a separate post, rather than slipping it into my original post.
FROM ERNST: On the evening before 6th December, a man dressed as the holy bishop St. Nikolaus, sometimes accompanied by one or two angels, and the "Pelzebock", who is a fierce looking fellow dressed all in black, would go from house to house visiting the children. The "Pelzebock" - the word comes from the bible word Beelzebub (Mt 12,24, Mk 3,22, Lk 11,15), was a god of the Philistines. He is considered the highest demon or devil in the bible. (In other German regions the "Pelzebock" has names such as "Knecht Rupprecht," "Budelfrau", "Krampus", and "Pelznickel". The Pennsylvania Dutch in America called him "Belsnickel".)
The "Pelzebock" is the servant of Nikolaus, and the chains around his chest reassure the children that he is tamed. He carries a sack with presents and birch sticks inside. Usually he waits outside of the door and only comes in to hand out the presents. He has a big book in which are counted all the good and bad things the children have done throughout the year. Tradtionally, he brings a "Nikolausteller" ("Teller" is the German word for plate) or "Nikolaustuete" (a "Tuete" is a cone-shaped paper bag), filled with sweets, nuts and oranges, for each child. The children are asked to sing Nikolaus songs and recite Nikolaus poems.
"Der Nikolaus", as he is called in Germany, is said to have been the Bishop of Myra in Greece in about the 4th century. The historical Saint Nicholas was venerated in early Christian legends for saving storm-tossed sailors, defending young children, and giving generous gifts to the poor. Many of the stories about Saint Nicholas are of doubtful authenticity. One of the legends that grew up about him was that he helped a father and his three daughters who were too poor to have a dowry. The father was about to turn his daughters out on the street to make a living. The kindly saint, on three consecutive nights, entered their home in secret, leaving a gold ingot on the hearth so that each daughter could have a husband. In variations on the story, the saint dropped the gold down the chimney and it landed in the shoes on the hearth or in the stockings that the girls had hung near the chimney to dry. Over the centuries, these legends spread throughout Europe, emphasizing the saint's role as a traditional bringer of gifts on the eve of his feast day, Dec. 6. Martin Luther, hoping to put emphasis on the birth of Christ instead, initiated the custom of gifts brought by the "Christkind" (Christ Child) on Christmas Eve rather than the Nikolausabend gifts. But the saint, who was called Sankt Nikolaus in Germany and Sanct Herr Nicholaas or Sinter Klaas in Holland, prevailed as a gift giver, and the Nikolaus gift-giving tradition survived the Reformation. In Germany St. Nicholas is portrayed wearing a bishop's robes and the tall miter headdress. He carries a crozier, the hooked staff which symbolizes his office as a shepherd of men.
Christmas Customs,
Saint Nicholas

The US Army is embracing more PDA-style gadgets for real-time
battlefield intelligence gathering. The CDA, or Commander's Digital Assistant, runs on Linux (which the army found to
be "more stable" than you-know-what), uses a system of pulldown menus for filing reports from the field (ease and
efficiency is a really big plus when you're getting shot at), and has a GPS attachment and a wireless connection for
communicating back to HQ. The device has already been tested by a bunch of military units and is now only awaiting a
final evaluation this before being shipped out to the field.
[Note: the device pictured seems to be the original Pocket PC based unit which was scrapped in favor of Linux]

K-State men announce 2014-15 non-con slate
Eight games at Bramlage Coliseum, a trip to the EA Sports Maui Invitational and a return to the Sprint Center for the Wildcat Classic highlight the 2014-15 Kansas State men's basketball non-conference schedule released on Monday.
The 14-game non-conference slate could include as many as 11 teams that participated in the postseason a year ago, including seven from the NCAA tournament.
K-State's season begins Sunday, Nov. 9, when the Wildcats host Division-II foe Washburn in their lone exhibition game.
The season officially gets underway less than a week later on Friday, Nov. 14 when the squad hosts Southern Utah.
K-State previously announced several components of its non-conference schedule, including the Maui Invitational Nov. 24-26, the SEC-Big 12 Challenge contest at Tennessee on Dec. 6, the Wildcat Classic contest with Texas A&M at the Sprint Center in Kansas City on Dec. 20 and the home game with Georgia on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
In all, the Wildcats will play 17 games at home in 2014-15, including the nine-game Big 12 slate with visits from NCAA tournament teams Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas and NIT participant West Virginia. The complete Big 12 schedule, along with game times and television information, will be released at a later date.
The exhibition with Washburn will be the first of three straight home games for the Wildcats, which also includes the opener with Southern Utah and a contest against UMKC on Nov. 17.
K-State will play its first road game of the season on Nov. 21, with a trip to Long Beach State prior to leaving for Hawaii and the EA Sports Maui Invitational.
K-State will face arguably the best field of any preseason tournament in Maui, as the eight schools combined to go 190-87 (.686) in 2013-14 with seven advancing to either the NCAA tournament or NIT. The field includes two conference champions in Arizona (Pac-12) and San Diego State (Mountain West), NCAA tournament teams BYU and Pittsburgh, NIT participant Missouri, Big Ten foe Purdue and Division-II host Chaminade.
K-State will be making its third trip to Maui and fifth overall in-season trip to Hawaii, which includes participation in the 1985 and 1998 Maui Invitationals, a 1993 trip to the University of Hawaii and the 2011 Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic.
Following its trip to Hawaii, the school opens the month of December with a home game against Nebraska-Omaha on Dec. 2.
The Wildcats play their second true road game of the non-conference schedule on Dec. 6 with a trip to Knoxville, Tenn., to face the Volunteers in the second annual SEC-Big 12 Challenge.
The team returns to Manhattan for back-to-back home games against Bradley on Dec. 9 and Savannah State on Dec. 14.
After the holiday break, the Wildcats wrap up non-conference play with home games against Texas Southern on Dec. 28 and Georgia on Dec. 31.

The deposit, without interest, will be applied to the purchase price at settlement or returned to the unsuccessful bidders, as applicable. The balance of the purchase price will be due by certified check or by immediately available funds at settlement. The Substitute Trustee reserves the right to withdraw the property from the sale if he deems the highest bidder or bids to be inadequate.
Conveyance shall be with special warranty and shall be subject to all recorded and unrecorded liens, encumbrances, security interests, easements, rights-of-way, covenants, conditions, restrictions, leases, and mechanics' and materialmen's liens, to the extent any of the foregoing may lawfully apply to the property being sold or any part thereof and take priority over the liens and security interests of the Deed of Trust.
All property being sold will be sold "as is, where is." No representations or warranties are made as to the zoning, structural integrity, physical condition, environmental condition, construction, workmanship, materials, habitability, fitness for a particular purpose, or merchantability of all or any part of any property being sold. The foregoing disclaimer of representations and warranties is not intended to void or impair any liability or obligation, if any, any other party may have with respect to all or any part of the property being sold. The purchaser recognizes and agrees that any investigation, examination, or inspection of the property being sold is within the control of the owner or other parties in possession and their agents and not within the control of the Substitute Trustee, the Noteholder, or their successors or assigns.
Settlement shall occur in the office of the Substitute Trustee or such other place as the parties may mutually agree upon, no later than 14 days after the sale, time being of the essence. The Substitute Trustee reserves the right to extend the date of settlement as may be necessary to complete arrangements for settlement. Risk of loss or damage to the property shall be borne by the purchaser from the time of the Trustee's strikedown at the foreclosure sale. Real estate taxes and other public charges shall be prorated as of the date the public auction is held, and the purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes and charges beginning as of the date of such public auction. The purchaser shall pay all settlement fees, title examination charges and title insurance premiums, and all recording costs (including the State Grantor's Tax). The Substitute Trustee will not deliver possession of all or any part of the property being sold.
The purchaser shall be required to sign an agreement at the foreclosure sale waving any cause of action it or they may have against the Substitute Trustee for any condition with respect to the property that may not be in compliance with any federal, state, or local law, regulation, or ruling, including without limitation any laws, regulations, and rulings relating to environmental contamination or hazardous wastes. Such agreement shall also provide that, if notwithstanding such agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction should permit such a claim to be made against the Substitute Trustee, such agreement shall serve as the overwhelming primary factor in any equitable apportionment of response costs or other liability. Nothing in this paragraph shall release, waive, or preclude any claims the purchaser or purchasers may have against any person in possession or control of the property.
If any successful bidder fails to complete settlement, his or her deposit shall be forfeited and applied to the costs of the sale and to the secured indebtedness. There shall be no refunds. Such forfeiture shall not limit any liability of the defaulting purchaser, or any rights or remedies of the Substitute Trustee or the Noteholder, with respect to any such default, and the defaulting purchaser shall be liable for all costs of re-sale of the property (including attorney fees of the Noteholder and the Substitute Trustee), plus any amount by which the ultimate sale price for the property is less than the defaulting purchaser's bid. After any such default and forfeiture, such property may, at the discretion the Substitute Trustee, be conveyed to the next highest bidder on such property whose bid was acceptable to the Substitute Trustee. In the event the Substitute Trustee does not execute a deed of conveyance, the purchaser's sole remedy shall be the refund of the deposit.
The Substitute Trustee reserves the right to amend or supplement the terms of sale by verbal announcements during the sale, modify the requirements for bidders' deposits, withdraw all or part of the property from the sale before the commencement of bidding, recess the sale, and conduct such other sales as the Substitute Trustee may determine in his discretion.
Immediately upon delivery of the deed for the property by the Substitute Trustee, all duties, liabilities, and obligations of the Substitute Trustee, if any, to the purchaser with respect to the property shall be extinguished.

This book deals with current developments in stochastic analysis and its interfaces with partial differential equations, dynamical systems, mathematical physics, differential geometry, and infinite-dimensional analysis. The origins of stochastic analysis can be found in Norbert Wiener's construction of Brownian motion and Kiyosi Itô's subsequent development of stochastic integration and the closely related theory of stochastic (ordinary) differential equations. The papers in this volume indicate the great strides that have been made in recent years, exhibiting the tremendous power and diversity of stochastic analysis while giving a clear indication of the unsolved problems and possible future directions for development. The collection represents the proceedings of the AMS Summer Research Institute on Stochastic Analysis, held in July 1993 at Cornell University. Many of the papers are largely expository in character while containing new results.
Researchers in probability theory, partial differential equations, statistical mechanics, dynamical systems, and mathematical physics.
"This very rich volume ... is an extremely valuable contribution to the literature on the interplay between stochastics and analysis. The editors have done a marvelous job in collecting a number of papers on subjects which in their entirety constitute the current activities in the field ... This volume has a particularly high standard and appears to be of special significance to current research activity in the ever-increasing field of stochastics and analysis."

I just wanted to tell you that I said goodbye to my old Weber today when the new one arrived. I knew it had been here a long time, but was amused when I found the old "grilling guide" and receipt. We bought the grill on 12/16/1997 and the new one came today - 12/18/2013!! The old one has been in use for 16 years!! Pretty impressive! We DID put a few new parts in over the years, but stil - I'm pleased that it lasted so long. Hope the new one continues to please as the old one did!
Thanks for being reliable and professional!

Thread: Need some Moving Advice
Need some Moving Advice
I have a Tiger Oscar that I have had for about 2 years. I have to do a household move, actually, 2 in five months. The first will take about 2 days doorstep to doorstep. (not including aquarium teardown and then setup) The second is 3 days door to door (again, the aquarium has to be torn down and re-setup). Is there a safe way to transport my Oscar that long and is it safe for him? I know that it will be stressful on him and I don't want him to die.
Should I even attempt to move him or should I call the LFS to see if they will take him?
The longest move that I have attempted with an Oscar is across town, fish tank to fish tank, so I am at a loss here as to what to do.
I am on the fence since I really like him but don't want to harm him.
Any advice is appreciated.
0You can certainly move him, but you will get differing methods from folks.
How big is the tank?
In any case, you will need to keep him aerated and warm. Do you have power available for the move? If not, are you willing to purchase battery operated air pump and heat packs? Hmmm, on second thought, maybe its not even cold where you are, lol.20gal long planted community
0I have him a 55 gallon tank with no other fish. This is currently the largest that is do-able while still in the Army due to frequency of moves, regulations in on base housing and people freaking out when you try to rent a house: Oh, by the way, I have a 100 gallon aquarium, is that ok? A 55 gallon is usually pushing it with most people. People just see all that water splashing on their floor and automatically say no. Kind of like big dogs.
Anyway, I am willing to invest whatever I have to if I attempt to move him. I have thought about a large storage bin with a battery powered air pump; a 10 gallon aquarium with same air pump just for the move (might be too small?); an icechest with the pump. I honestly didn't even think about needing heat packs. Makes sense though. I am moving from Virginia to Alabama, then 5 months later Alabama to Pennsylvania. Moves will be in April and September. Should be hot if anything.
0I would look at getting either one of those foam ice chests or a large rubbermaid container trash can that will fit your Oscar, as opposed to an aquarium. Glass can break and is rather rigid, makes for harder sloshes.
You can get a Power inverter that plugs into your car's lighter/power jack that will allow you to use normal electronics in the car. If you have the room to tote the container in the passenger compartment, I'd go that route rather than battery for while you are in the long drive hours. Plus then you just need to unplug from the car... and carry into the hotel and plug in at night. (I'd not suggest leaving it plugged into the car jack with the car off unless you like jumping your vehicle!)
0Ok, I'm going to try to move him. I have a styrofoam ice-chest that he can fit in comfortably. If that is too small, I have a large plastic ice-chest that I can modify for fish transport. I am also going to get an automobile power inverter with standard outlet plugs to run an air pump with a stone. He will ride either on the passenger side floorboard, or behind the drivers seat on the floor (dependent on cord length) and will be taken inside during the nights of transit.
Hopefully this works. I just can't stand the thought of giving him back to the LFS and having them sell him to someone else.
0I have a canister filter that I can lock off and seperate from the rest when I drain the tank. I believe that my media should be good and live by the time I get the tank re-setup.
My 1 year old (17 month by the trip) and wife will most likely demand frequent stops. :D

0Ask your LFS if they can keep him for a few days. If you know the owner, I bet he'll do it. Give him a couple dollars and your oscar would be better off than in an ice chest.

Perfect cartridge for your purpose. Any of the 140s will do, I don't know that you'll get more than 2850 but you don't need more .

I've had great luck with Federal's 140 Nosler Balistic tip. It usually drops them right where they are And my rifle shoots under 1/2" with them.
I decided on them by making a trip to the local range with a half a dozen boxes of premium ammunition and sticking with the one that shot best, but there is no bad answer. The worst shot about 1 1/4". 2850 fps is about all they'll give you though. The deer don't seem to notice the lack of velocity. |

I get the same point of impact with factory stuff as with my handloads, with the 139/140-grain bullets. Happy dance!
My 700 Ti totals 6.5 pounds. Recoil from the bench isn't bad at all, and non-noticeable from offhand. Plenty good for any deer. Art

WASHINGTON, May 31 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who has been held captive for nearly five years by the Taliban, has been released and is now in U.S. custody, the Obama administration said on Saturday.
"On behalf of the American people, I was honored to call his parents to express our joy that they can expect his safe return," President Barack Obama said in a statement.
"Sergeant Bergdahl's recovery is a reminder of America's unwavering commitment to leave no man or woman in uniform behind on the battlefield," he said.
Bergdahl, who was captured in Afghanistan on June 30, 2009, is now under the care of the U.S. military after being handed over by his captors in Afghanistan, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said in a statement.
The handover followed indirect negotiations between the United States and the Taliban, with the government of Qatar serving as the mediator. As part of Bergdahl's release, the United States agreed to turn over five Taliban detainees at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the custody of Qatar.
Hagel said, "As of today, I informed Congress of the decision to transfer five detainees from Guantanamo Bay to Qatar," with which Washington has coordinately closely to ensure that security measures are in place and that the national security of the United States will not be compromised.
Hagel thanked the Emir of Qatar for his instrumental role in facilitating the return of Bergdahl.
Obama, in his statement, also expressed his thanks to the Emir of Qatar, whose "personal commitment to this effort is a testament to the partnership between our two countries."
Obama also thanked the government of Afghanistan throughout the efforts to secure the release, voicing hope "Bergdahl's recovery could potentially open the door for broader discussions among Afghans about the future of their country by building confidence that it is possible for all sides to find common ground."
Obama vows to bring home U.S. prisoners of war
WASHINGTON, May 31 (Xinhua) -- President Barack Obama on Saturday vowed to bring U.S. prisoners of war home, as an American soldier was heading home after being detained by the Afghan Taliban for nearly five years. Full story
News Analysis: Doubts abound over Obama's plan to pull out of Afghanistan
WASHINGTON, May 28 (Xinhua) -- U.S. experts and some former government officials are wary of the U.S. exit strategy in Afghanistan after President Barack Obama laid out the plan's details in a White House speech on Tuesday. Full story

text: Family Going on a Trip? You Can Walk them All the Way to the Boarding Gate if You AskMatthew Rogers6/08/11 6:30amFiled to: TravelFlyingAirportsAirlinesair travel57EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink We all like walking our loved ones or family members through the airport terminal when they're leaving on a trip, but there are times when it'd be nice to accompany them past the ominous security checkpoint on the way to the boarding gates. Here's the good news: You can accompany them if you ask nicely and have a good reason to be there. The downside is that you'll have to go through security just like they will. Advertisement Airlines allow for "companions" to acquire what's called a "gate pass," which allows you to walk your traveling loved ones all the way to the final gate. To get one, just speak with the airline rep at the ticket desk, and try to have the actual ticket-holders with you at the time. The catch is that you'll need to present a valid reason for wanting to be there, since those gates are crowded enough as it is.Valid reasons aren't hard to come by, though. If a wife or husband is flying, there's really no reason the other wouldn't be allowed to accompany them—you can always say it's an anxiety problem. Gate passes are given more or less automatically to the parent of a child that's traveling as an unaccompanied minor, and the same goes for people seeing off their elderly parents, since it's reasonable to see that they'd need help. Advertisement It's also a good idea to speak to the airline's ticket desk earlier than just an hour before the flight, just in case a manager has to handle the request, and you'll definitely want to have proper identification with you.

None of the many previous stage and movie treatments of the plight of actors facing the House Un-American Activities Committee has used the setting of a run-down burlesque house.
None of the many previous stage and movie treatments of the plight of actors facing the House Un-American Activities Committee has used the setting of a run-down burlesque house. Imagine the three strippers from "Gypsy" facing the Red Menace, and you have the new musical "Burlesque." There's definite talent and skill at work here, but lack of originality and rigor pull the rug out from beneath the amusingly intriguing premise.
Composer and co-writer Adam Meggido sticks to the familiar. As befits his 1952 setting, he crafts "Burlesque" as a book musical stuffed with stock characters from the annals of showbiz folk. Overseeing everything is Freddie Le Roy (a nicely gentle Linal Haft), the aging theater owner with an eye for the girls. Then there's the hard-bitten, secretly lovelorn older woman Lula Malkah (Buster Skeggs), who is in charge of the girls, each of whom gets a single motivation, an opportunity to outline her plight in song, and little else. So far, so sweetly nostalgic. However, Freddie's theater is on the brink of closure because burlesque is moving off the stage and into nightclubs. Even the comedy act is on the skids since lead comic Johnny Reno (a wisecracking Jon-Paul Hevey) has been named as a Communist — cue too many gags about comics vs. Commies. Johnny, whose brush with Communism was entirely accidental, sings about how politics don't matter to him. All he and his comedy partner "Rags" Ryan (Chris Holland) want is to "make it." But it's blindingly clear that Johnny's naivete won't save him, especially when "the Feds" take to visiting him at the theater and press him into naming names. Will he stand up against oppression or compromise to save his career and the child he's going to have with stripper Honey Hogan (Alicia Davies)? The use of cliche in the book, co-written by Roy Smiles, is clearly a conscious attempt to trade off familiarity while venturing into politics. But neither the dialogue nor the music successfully handle the lurches in tone between the two moods. The contrast between, for example, period-style Andrews Sisters-esque trios and angst-ridden power ballads of personal determination is awkward. The multiplicity of characters, too many of whom have equal weight, means that superficial characterization lacks convincing detail. The well-intentioned drama remains overly signaled and underdeveloped. On the plus side, Meggido shows his work off to best possible advantage. Martin Thomas and lighting designer Howard Hudson turn the shoebox-sized Jermyn Street stage into an atmospheric theater, and the strong-voiced cast, backed by spry musical arrangements for piano, percussion and woodwind, give the material its full due. The deft construction of the various plot elements into the opening musical sequence is enough to indicate Meggido's understanding of musical theater. What's yet to appear is an individual voice.Burlesque

Redskins host Ravens
Sunday – 12/9/12
This Sunday the DMV area is in for a treat as the Baltimore Ravens cross the beltway to battle the Washington Redskins. At 1:00pm these two teams will kickoff for just the third time ever. Baltimore leads the all-time series to a tune of 2-0. The last time the Ravens and Skins squared off was in 2008, which saw Baltimore win 24-10.
Baltimore had a tough go at it against the Steelers last week ending their 16 home game winning streak. The Ravens are still in the lead to win the AFC North by two games and can clinch a playoff spot with a win. Baltimore can also clinch the division title with a win and losses by both the Steelers and the Bengals. This week might be even tougher as Terrell Suggs is a game time decision after tearing his bicep last week.
The Redskins enter Sunday riding a three game winning streak with those victories coming against each of the other teams in the NFC East. After a victory over the Giants this past Monday, the Skins sit just one game back of the NFC East. RGIII is playing his best football of the season and will be facing a struggling and hobbled Ravens defense this Sunday.
To break down the key aspects of this week's Battle of the Beltway we are going to do a back and forth Q&A session. Our Ravens blogger Cory Grubbs will be writing for the Ravens and site creator and editor Trevor Jackson will be writing for the Skins.
So let's jump right into this and get to the thick of things:
What are each team's keys on offense to win this game?
Cory: The Ravens need to establish the run early against the Skins so it will set up the passing game. If they can get Ray Rice rolling look for some downfield looks to open up. I could easily see Deangelo Hall biting on a double move from Torrey Smith that leads to a 60-yard touchdown. The Skins let up 299 passing yards a game and the Ravens need to exploit that.
Trevor: The Skins need to keep their own defense on the sidelines by establishing long, clock controlling drives. As Cory mentioned above, Baltimore wants a shot at this secondary and keeping their offense on the sideline as long as possible is the best defense Washington will have. The Ravens defense is banged up with no Ray Lewis, no Terrell Suggs, and injuries to their secondary. I know most teams try to establish the run to open up the pass, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Kyle Shanahan and RGIII come out firing in the 1st quarter and open things up with the pass, and then go to the workhorse Alfred Morris to sustain drives.
What are each team's keys on defense to win this game?
Trevor: Again, I think Washington's best defense right now is their offense. With that being said, teams have been able to attack this defense by the air with more success than they have by running the ball. That isn't to say Ray Rice won't have a field day, because he can put up 125 on you any day of the week. The good news for Skins fans is while Washington's defense is still giving up big plays in the passing games, they are stopping teams from racking up TDs as of late. Slow the run early, get some Ryan Kerrigan pressure on Joe Flacco, and get the offense back on the field as soon as possible will be the keys.
Cory: Defenses in the NFL still don't have a good answer to slow down RGIII on a consistent basis, and this hobbled Ravens defense is going to have a tough go at it on Sunday. RGIII keeps you honest with his ability to run for 50 yard strikes at any moment. He can even pitch it (fumble it) at any moment and score touchdowns that way. But this Skins offense is first in the NFL rushing averaging 167 yards a game. Baltimore is 23rd in rushing defense letting up 125 yards a game. The Ravens NEED to stop the run if they want to punch their tickets to the playoffs on Sunday.
Which QB is going to shine brightest in the Battle of the Beltway?
Cory: As good as RGIII has been in his first season in the NFL, I think the veteran QB is going to prevail and shrine the brightest on Sunday. Flacco is coming off a terrible home performance against the Steelers last week and will be looking to rebound against this porous pass defense of the Skins. Washington has allowed the second most passing yards this year in the NFL and I see Flacco taking advantage of this. You have to go all the way back to the 2009 season for the last time the Ravens lost back to back games. Flacco will make sure they don't lose back to backs this week.
Trevor: Man, in a way I kind of feel bad for you on this question. It must have really hurt to have to type out Joe Flacco instead of ROBERT. GRIFFIN. THE THIRD. My answer to this question is pretty much the same response as this guy: R – G – 3. Even removing the rushing impact Griffin will have on the game, I think he is going to put up better passing numbers than Flacco as well. He is ahead of Flacco in passer rating, completion percentage, touchdowns, yards per attempt, and pretty much every passing category except total yards. Robert Griffin will shine brightest on Sunday.
What running back is going to have a bigger day on Sunday?
Trevor: This is a tough one, because Rice can easily explode on any defense. But sticking with the overall homerism of this article, I am going to say Alfred Morris will have the bigger day on Sunday. As mentioned before, I think the Skins will use the pass to open up the run, mixing things up on the Ravens defense and leaving some big holes for Morris to hit later in the game. If the Skins can get out to an early lead, I expect Morris to have a big day and hopefully we will get to see a Home Run.
Cory: RAY RICE!!!! The Ravens want to win this game in the worst way for two reasons: Secure a playoff spot and to have bragging rights in the DMV area. This could be the breakout game that the Ravens faithful have been waiting for all season. I see Rice finally breaking some long runs in route to 150 yards and showing the rook Alfred Morris how it's done. Yes Morris has more yards this season than Rice but I'll take Rice any day of the week over Morris and Sunday will show us why.
What is the biggest factor that each team has to focus on most to win?
Cory: Stop RGIII plain and simple. When RGIII gets going the Skins have a different swagger about them. The Ravens need to make sure the Skins don't start strutting with that swagger and there is a man that can put a halt to that on the Ravens D. He wears #20 on his jersey and might be the best ball hawking safety this league has ever seen. There's no better way to slow down RGIII than to pick him off a time or two and get him rattled. I expect the Ball Hawk to trick the young buck RGIII into some mistakes that take him off the field and puts Flacco and the Baltimore offense on the field. It's pretty easy to stop someone if they are on the sidelines.
Trevor: Time of possession. If the Skins dominate the time of possession I think they can get their first victory over Baltimore. They will need a well-balanced attacked of run and pass plays, but their offense has the firepower necessary to control the clock. Keeping the injured Ravens defense on the field while keeping their own lackluster defense on the sidelines is going to be a huge key for the Redskins to pull this one out.
Who is each team's fantasy sleeper on Sunday?
Trevor: At this point in the fantasy season, you are in the playoffs and probably not going to have to play a deep sleeper. If you want to win, you play studs like Griffin III, Morris, and Garcon.
But since this is the sleeper category, I am going to go with Aldrick Robinson. Again, DON'T play him unless you are extremely desperate. I think the Redskins are going to be passing the ball often in the first half, and Robinson has made the most of his 11 catches on the season turning 3 of them into touchdowns. He has scored from 5 yards out, and on deep balls of 49 yards and 68 yards, so clearly he is a deep threat. I could see him catching a few balls and possibly scoring on a long TD, which would be great for Skins fans because we would have a shot at watching this awesomeness.
And just for good measure…another prediction: Robinson has not returned a punt or kickoff this year, but I am going to go out on a limb and say he will have at least one return this game.
Cory: Like Trevor said, you're most likely in the playoffs and aren't looking for a sleeper unless you are desperate. So if you are desperate for a RB, the Ravens Bernard Pierce could be a decent pickup. I could easily see some big runs from Ray Rice to set the Ravens up inside the red zone. After those big runs Rice is going to need a breather. Enter Pierce for clean-up duty and the score. Pierce has only scored once this season but I could easily see the second score coming Sunday against the Skins. Pierce is averaging only 20 rushing yards a game, so even if he doesn't score he could get you at least two points. Like Trevor and I said, this is a last resort option. But if you have any Ravens offensive players on your squad, start them. This could be a high scoring affair.
What is your prediction for the game?
Cory: Now that the dust has settled its time for prediction time. Both teams desperately want to win this contest and I see it coming down to the final minutes of the game before a winner is decided. That being said I'm going with Baltimore on Sunday in the Battle of the Beltway to the tune of 31-27. Look for the vet Flacco to lead a game winning drive in the final minutes followed by an Ed Reed interception of the rook RGIII to seal the deal. Sorry Skins fans, you are going to have to wait to get your first victory over the Ravens because it's not happening this Sunday. You are all going to be destroying your living rooms just like this joker, but it will be because RGIII just threw the game clinching pick, not because your girlfriends ruined the Stanley Cup for you.
Trevor: No time to slow down on my Skinsitude now. I too see this one coming down to the wire, maybe not exactly as Cory has described it. I have a tight match all game, with Robert Griffin III leading a drive down the field in the forth and the Skins going ahead on a Kai Forbath field goal. The Ravens try and answer and put together a drive of their own, but the defense makes a stand and Fed Ex goes crazy. Redskins win 24-21.
No matter what the outcome of this game is, the atmosphere of this DMV match-up is sure to be a great one come Sunday.
So Ravens Nation and Redskins Nation…..who you got? Leave us some game predictions in the comment section below.

CATHEDRAL CITY: Residents evacuated in preparation for mobile home burn
Residents of a Cathedral City mobile home park have been evacuated as police finalize plans to burn down an explosive-laden home in the park.
Police hope to burn the home at 8 p.m. Friday, June 27. If the burn goes as planned, residents will be able to return to their homes by noon Saturday.
Neighboring units are being sprayed with a flame retardant gel, and barriers are being erected around the unit and sprayed with the gel as well, according to Captain Earl Moss.
Firefighters will stand back 150 feet when the fire starts.
Multiple agencies, including the Air Quality Management District, Riverside County Hazmat and the Environmental Protection Agency will be on hand to help ensure a safe burn. Additional fire equipment and personnel will be set up as a contingency.
Residents of a Cathedral City mobile home park waited nervously Thursday as police and fire officials nailed down details of a plan to set fire to a trailer filled with explosives.
The coach where authorities found a man with a pipe bomb, along with flammable powders used in fireworks and other explosives, could be set aflame as early as 8 p.m. Friday, Cathedral City police Capt. Chuck Robinson said.
Officers who first responded to the call of a delusional man reported powder – believed to be highly combustible potassium nitrate and aluminum – throughout the trailer.
"The entire coach from the front door to the back bedroom and everywhere in between had the powder all over the floor. That was the concern, the amount," Robinson said. "Preliminary information is that he was paranoid and he was trying to protect himself."
The suspect, Sean Stewart Clarke, 21, was arraigned at the Larson Justice Center in Indio on Thursday. He pleaded not guilty to nine felony counts, including possessing a destructive device and possessing materials with intent to manufacture a destructive device, and a misdemeanor of being under the influence of a controlled substance. A preliminary hearing was set for July 10. He remained jailed on $250,000 bail.
At the Sungate Country mobile home park, yellow caution tape closed both ends of Sunseeker Place.
"We're just waiting. We're a little on edge," resident Joan Pace said.
City officials said they have gotten environmental clearances to set the trailer on fire, which was determined to be the safest way to dispose of the explosives. The approach has been used at least one other time in Southern California – at a "bomb house" in Escondido in 2010.
But there are complicating factors, Robinson said.
Winds with gusts up to 30 mph are expected in the desert Friday. Authorities also have to finish paperwork with the owner of the trailer and set barriers in place to protect surrounding properties from the flames.
"It's a question of logistics, weather issues, getting paperwork signed. It's never easy," Robinson said.
The entire park will be evacuated for about four to six hours, including cleanup and environmental testing, Robinson said. The park management and Cal Fire Office of Emergency Services are making arrangements and will contact residents who need somewhere to stay at the time, he said.

It's a unique name, one he figures to make more popular in the near future, and Goodluck Okonoboh smiled when asked about the story behind it.
"I've got to explain that a lot," he said.
His father, Sylvester, had just moved from Nigeria to Boston with his mother, Justina. His first job was as a taxi driver.
"When he came to America, I was in my mom's stomach," Goodluck said Thursday, launching into storyteller mode after playing in the adidas Super 64 tournament at Rancho High School.
He said his dad reported for work, picked up three guys in his cab and sensed his luck was about to turn bad.
"He knew something was wrong that day," Goodluck said. "When he got to the destination, it was a dead end. One of the guys shot him in the chest. He was in the hospital, and it was not looking good. My mom put him on life support."
The next day, his dad's condition miraculously improved, and, "The next week, I was born, so he named me Goodluck."
Some of the nation's top college basketball coaches were in the stands at 9 a.m. Thursday, when Okonoboh's team from Boston, Mass Rivals, took on Dream Vision Elite from Las Vegas.
UNLV's Dave Rice arrived early and was surrounded by Ohio State's Thad Matta, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, Memphis' Josh Pastner and others.
Okonoboh was not the only big-name player in the game. Stephen Zimmerman, a 7-foot junior from Bishop Gorman High School, headlines the Dream Vision roster. Rivals.com ranks Zimmerman the nation's No. 2 prospect in the class of 2015.
"He'll be a good player," said Okonoboh, a 6-9 forward ranked No. 32 in the class of 2014. "I look forward to games like that."
Zimmerman showed off a smooth left-handed jumper and deft passing skills. He occasionally drifted out to the 3-point line but didn't shoot often, scoring only six points in Dream Vision's 72-62 victory.
Okonoboh, an explosive athlete, did most of his work near the basket. He had a shot blocked by Zimmerman before responding with a dunk on the same possession. Both big men can run the floor, and both are high-priority recruiting targets for UNLV.
The Rebels' coaches have been "pretty aggressive" in courting him, said Okonoboh, who will be a senior at Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Wilbraham, Mass.
UNLV has a connection to Okonoboh that could prove valuable. He said one of his friends is Khem Birch, the Rebels' junior forward from Canada.
"I'm still learning about a lot of programs," Okonoboh said. "I'm open to everybody. I don't have a list. I have no favorites."
Louisville coach Rick Pitino is hot on Okonoboh's trail. He also has offers from Duke, Indiana, Ohio State, Syracuse and several other elite programs.
Rice is aiming high and recruiting nationally with success. UNLV received a commitment in the spring from Dwayne Morgan, a 6-7 forward from Baltimore ranked No. 12 in the senior class by Rivals.com.
Okonoboh knows all about Anthony Bennett, who was lured to the Rebels partly through his friendship with Birch. Last month, the Cleveland Cavaliers made Bennett the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, and high school stars pay attention to those kinds of things.
After scoring 17 points in his team's loss, Okonoboh walked out of the gym and ran into Boston Celtics president Danny Ainge, who stopped and greeted him.
Okonoboh's dad now works with mentally challenged kids. He quit driving a taxi after getting shot.
"He was done after that," Goodluck said with a smile.

First Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church USA), located at 900 West Market St., Nappanee, Indiana, first known as the Amish Mennonite Church and later as the West Market Street Mennonite Church. It was a member of the Middle District Conference (now part of the Central District Conference). Before 1923 the congregation was a member of the Mennonite Church (MC). The congregation was organized in 1875 after groups of settlers had met for worship in homes and schoolhouses since 1853. The first meetinghouse was erected in 1878, rebuilt in 1910, and remodelled in 1926 and 1955, a frame structure with a seating capacity of about 250. In 1955 the membership was 164, with Earl L. Salzman as pastor. In 2005 the membership was 87.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
LaPierre: They're Coming For Our Guns No Matter What They Say
"I think what they'll do is turn this universal check on the law-abiding into a universal registry of law-abiding people. And law-abiding people don't want that. My God, that's the last thing they want," LaPierre said on "Fox News Sunday."
After host Chris Wallace pointed out that post-Newtown firearms proposals from President Obama and other Democrats don't call for a national registry or a confiscation of weapons already in private hands, LaPierre said he wasn't buying it.
"Obamacare wasn't a tax until they wanted it to be a tax. I don't think you can trust these -- I mean my gosh, [Sen.] Dianne Feinstein [D-CA] said, 'If we could go door to door and pick 'em up, I'd do it,'" he said.
The two sides of the universal background check debate were laid out fairly cleanly on "Fox News Sunday," with Mark Kelly, husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), advocating for it. Though an assault weapons ban was discussed -- and largely dismissed as a legislative possibility -- the focus was on universal background checks, the top goal of the gun control community after the school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
LaPierre argued that background checks were ineffective, possibly part of a government plot against gun owners, and not a real legislative option because of a powerful "mental health lobby." He noted that the NRA used to support universal checks but said special interests surrounding mental health and privacy had derailed the effort and led to NRA leaders throwing in the towel.
"The instant check was actually the NRA's proposal. We offered it as an amendment to the Brady Bill. And I've been in this fight for 20 years. We supported it. We put it on the books. But I have finally become convinced after fighting to get the mental records computerized for 20 years and watching the mental health lobby, the HIPAA laws, the AMA oppose it, I don't think it's going to happen," he said. "The mental health lobby won't do it. The HIPAA laws won't do it. I wish it would happen. We're all for it. But its not."
Kelly, meanwhile, in a separate interview, called on the government to prosecute more people who try to buy guns at licensed dealers but are denied after a background check. Then he called for legislation aimed at making it harder for someone who can't buy a gun at a licensed dealer to buy it somewhere else.
"Since 1999, 1.7 million people were prevented from getting a firearm because they had a criminal record or a history of mental illness. We stopped those people from getting a gun," Kelly said. "Now we've got to make sure they don't have a second option to get the gun and that's getting a gun from a private seller or the gun show loophole without having a background check. We need to close that loophole."

On his Octopus Chair, Maximo Riera shares the following –
"The Animal Chair collection constitutes a diverse range of species, from mammals to reptiles, and even including insects. Each creation retains the animal's natural vitality whilst being totally biological accurate in their appearance. This collection is homage to these animals and the whole animal kingdom which inhabits our planet, as an attempt to reflect and capture the beauty of nature in each living thing.
Octopus Book: the Octopus Chair is the first piece of the Animal Chair collection, and it establishes a base and point of departure for the pieces to come."
The Spanish designer will take on lions, wales, and walrus in the near future.

Angle Relationships Along Parallel Lines student sample page 4.jpg - Section 2: Continuing the Activity
Angle Relationships Along Parallel Lines Continued
Lesson 18 of 23
Objective: Students will be able to understand and prove angle relationships along parallel lines cut by a transversal through the application of transformations
Continuing the Activity
Watch a short video explaining the rational for this lesson and why I have chosen to apply transformations to parallel lines cut by a transversal.
Clarifying and Sharing Learning Goals
Always begin by clarifying for the students what it is they will be learning from the activity today.
The learning goals for today are to continue the activity and begin to really focus on learning about angle pair relationships. The graphs should be complete on each student's paper and they should be ready to at least begin at question 5 with exploring corresponding angle pairs. The goal is that students will use tracing paper to copy one angle and then as the definition of congruent suggests, move the tracing paper over the second angle and check for congruence. Once congruence has been determined for most of the angle pairs, it is then the student's job to write a transformation rule that would move the tracing paper to sit over the second angle. You want students to use the definition of congruence to find relationships and then use detailed transformations to prove these angles are connected. These goals clearly address the following math standards:
8.G.A.2 Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.
8.G.A.5 Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles.
Working in Cooperative Groups to Make Connections
Allow students time to work through questions five, six, and seven. Students should work within their partnership or small group to correctly answer these questions. While students are graphing, move about the room formatively assessing progress and providing feedback that will move your students' learning forward. To better understand how I group students into cooperative teams and how I provide feedback to students, click on the links below to watch a short video on each strategy.
Cooperative Grouping Explained
Providing feedback that moves learning forward
After allowing time for groups to working through questions five, six, and seven bring the whole class back together and hold a mini wrap up for students to share what they have learned. This mini wrap up should be student lead and student focused so student feel that they own their own learning and can discuss and defend it to others. Click below to watch a short video about how I incorporate student ownership of learning in my classroom.
Activating students as owners of their own learning
I call this time of students presenting their work a "mini wrap-up" because I do not spend long periods of time closing a lesson at the end of the class period. We use small lesson closers after a small chunk of material has been completed.
Math Practice Standards
Applying the strategy of mini-wrap ups that are student centered will directly bring math practice standard 3 into the lesson.
MP3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
Allowing students to work in groups, with hands-on materials if they want to use the materials, to explore angle relationships and prove they exist with detailed transformation directions really addresses several math practice standards:
MP5 Use appropriate tools strategically.
MP6 Attend to precision.
Working in Cooperative Groups to Make Connections Continued
Once you conclude a mini wrap up of corresponding angles, allow students to work within their cooperative groups to finish questions eight, nine, and ten which ask them to explore alternate interior angles. Again as students work together to share ideas and become resources for each other, make sure you are circulating about the room providing feedback that moves their learning forward as well. Click below to watch a short video on how students provide feedback to one another within small groups.
Activating students as resources for one another
Where to End the Lesson
The goal for the second day is to reach at least question 10 and discuss the answers to these questions in a mini wrap-up before the end of class. Of course students will work at their own pace and that is encouraged. You just want to at least get everyone through question 10 by the end of the second class period.
