After 12 years as the pastor of The First Baptist Church of Greensburg, Marvin George has left to take over duties as pastor at First Baptist in Fort Scott, Kansas.
After 12 years as the pastor of The First Baptist Church of Greensburg, Marvin George has left to take over duties as pastor at First Baptist in Fort Scott, Kansas.
"[When I first came to Greensburg] the church didn't have a full time pastor for over a year," said George. "A lot of people had dropped out, so the church was in dire need of someone at the helm, guiding and directing."
Initially perceived as family oriented, tight and faith-based George said Greensburg was very receptive, very loving and took very good care of his family.
"That's just kind of where my heart is," said George. "I just love small towns and small communities. You can't spit out your back door without somebody knowing it. I'm not a big city kind of guy, I'm not a mega-church kind of guy. I like churches that I can pastor by myself and know everybody and their spouse's names and kid's names and grandkid's names. I think the shepherd of the church should be able to know his flock."
He came from Benton, Ark., which he conceded was "bigger" than Greensburg and has an inherit love of small towns and what they stand for.
On first appearance George can be intimidating. He is a towering hulk of a man with a loud powerful voice, well suited for Sunday preaching and announcing high school football games.
But speaking with him inside his old office now empty of personal effects, it is easy to see why his church thinks so highly of him and why he's earned the respect of an entire community.
"Half the folks that are part of our congregation will tell you the reason they fell in love with the church is because the church is so loving and accepting of people," he said while sipping a Diet Dr. Pepper. "No matter what their background was."
George said the community has changed a lot over the past twelve years, but there has always been a commonality in the spiritual needs of his congregation.
"You get a group of people at any point in time and they hit the gamut from one end to the other of highs and lows in spiritual life, and I don't think that we ever get away from that," said George. "Jesus said you'll have the poor and the dying and the widows with you forever. Looking at the big picture we're always going to have people in spiritual need. We're always going to be sheep going in the wrong direction needing someone to guide us back."
Just as George has led his congregation, he is allowing God to lead him into the future and has found a parable in Paul's words in the book of Acts.
"He's telling the elders at Ephesus that he has to depart and go to Jerusalem because he's compelled by the spirit to do so." said George. "I'm compelled by the spirit to go. The other thing that Paul tells the elders is he doesn't know what's in store for him there. That's a little bit bind faith, from Paul's perspective a lot of blind faith."
Although George recognizes he is not making as a blind decision as Paul, because he has been able to go to Fort Scott and speak with church leaders and knows what the ministry's needs are, there are a lot of unknowns.
"It's not quite as blind for me as it was for Paul, but still, I don't know exactly what all is going to happen out there," he said. "When I moved to Greensburg I didn't know what all things would take place in that 12 years, especially the seventh year that I was here. There's no doubt God called me here not just to shepherd this church, but also to be here during the destruction, the recovery and the rebuilding, because that's right up my alley, I can do that. Does He have something like that in store for me in Fort Scott? I don't have a clue. But, there is no doubt He (God) is moving me out to Fort Scott. I am very sensitive to being obedient to what God's calling me to do, and I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that's what he's calling me to do."
He said the church is in need of a leader and that God wants him to be that leader.
"All of their needs and concerns are not outside the commonality of any small community, they need someone to lead them and guide them and challenge them to be the kind of church that God wants them to be, I know those challenges are there for me. It's like turning a new chapter in life," answered George. "You don't know exactly what's there, you just know it's new. I like new challenges."
He is, of course, sad to leave the place he has called home for more than a decade. The place he raised children and guided a broken and sorrowful congregation through the toughest of times.
"It's hard to get excited when you're sad about leaving," said George. "My wife just asked the other day 'are you excited about getting to Fort Scott?' I don't think I'll actually be excited until we get there and get moved in, that's when the excitement will hit me."
One of the things he'll really miss is the Kiowa County Minister Alliance, a group of county church leaders that meet once a month and work to strengthen their churches and community.
"The unity that we've shared, the relationships that we've built will be what impacts me the very, very most about our community. After the tornado some researchers came in and did some surveys and the number one leadership group people of this community thought was the most influential leadership group was the Ministerial Alliance. I just love all the pastors that I've gotten to know, some have gone, some new ones have come, and I know that I cannot expect this type of group anywhere else because it's unique to Kiowa County."
He is also going to miss his church, the Baptist chapel George was instrumental in rebuilding.
"It's really tough to try to explain the relationships that you have with people you've been entrusted to guide and keep as a shepherd. So those relationships I've had at the First Baptist Church of Greensburg have been phenomenal. I will miss the fellowship time, the friendships that I've had. You go downtown and you see people I pastor and they love on you, on the street corner, on the sidewalks, in the stores. That's something you can't get anywhere else."
When asked if there were any final words he had for the community, George talked about the incredible impact the May 2007 tornado has had, and will have in the foreseeable future.
"I believe that we were shaken up for a purpose," he said. "I don't believe that God sends a tornado to shake us up, but I think out of that destruction what God expected from us is what we had directly after that. All the denominational walls were dropped; all the socioeconomic walls were dropped. Everybody was in the same place, on the same sheet of music. We all had nothing and we relied on each other. We met in a tent collectively as a community church a number of times."
He also believes after the recovery and rebuilding people got back into their every day routines and forgotten that sense of togetherness.
"It was a great time of oneness that I believe we need to have," he added. "When you think about diversity and unity as the body is, that was really the epitome. I wish and pray that someway or another the community can get back to that. I would like to say to the community, let's not wait for another disaster to get that close again."

Groton paid public relations consultants $63,000
You can see why Groton officials got worried when it came time last year to finally go public with the news that the city had gone some $27 million into debt because of its failing cable television business, a money-losing company it was planning to practically give away.
It turns out the anxiety about what to say began when security analysts started to hint of a bond downgrade for the city, related in part to the cable television disaster.
Still, I was surprised to learn this week that city officials turned to a public relations specialist, a firm founded by former Connecticut television newscaster Duby McDowell, to help spin the story of the staggering cable television losses.
When Groton City Mayor Marian Galbraith prepped for a public hearing to discuss the cable debacle, she met with the public relations consultants to discuss what questions to anticipate and how to answer them.
"Going into a public hearing on a topic like that, there is a lot of things to talk about," Galbraith told me when I called to ask about a report I had heard of the public relations consulting for the city.
"We knew there would be a lot of questions, and we were not sure we would have every answer for them."
When I asked the mayor for an accounting of how much was paid for the public relations help, she had the director of Groton Utilities call. He said Duby McDowell Communications was paid a total of $63,000 over a nine-month period, and about $16,000 of that could be directly attributed to the cable company issues.
The last payment made was for a bill received in February, and the relationship has since been severed, the utility director said.
I suppose when the cable business caused some $27 million in losses, what's another $16,000 to help explain it away.
The February bill must have included the cost of a press release issued Feb. 1 by Duby McDowell Communications with a statement from Mayor Galbraith.
Curiously, the press release did not include the mayor's first name, an odd omission given that the city was paying professionals to issue it.
The statement from the mayor congratulated the new owners of the television company, who paid $550,00 for a company that taxpayers had lost some $27 million on.
"I wish the new owners and their employees well in their venture and hope our citizens will join me in continuing to support this vital local company," said the mayor's sunny, publicist-approved statement.
In all my years of covering the small municipalities of eastern Connecticut, I have never seen any of them employ public relations professionals.
State lawmakers have access to public relations staff. Congressional offices have publicity professionals. But I don't recall any ever being used by municipalities around here.
On the other hand, I have never seen a city or town here sink tens of millions of dollars into a money-losing business.

My son and I have been looking for ideas for a research project he can complete by the end of this school year. I suggested doing a one to three page biography of a family member who lived during a time period he enjoys studying. After a bit of thinking, he decided on a Revolutionary War veteran ancestor who died during that conflict. One reason I suggested this particular ancestor was because I have very little information on him, and what I do have was given to me by other researchers who neglected to put source citations on their documentation.
I wanted to see what, if anything, had already been published on this man and/or his family, so I did a quick search of the Internet.1 In particular, I wanted to see if I could find a source for information given to me about this man's parents. Lo and behold, one of the first returns for my search was a lengthy article tracing the Revolutionary War veteran's lineage back to Great Britain, several generations previous, and forward through a collateral line to late-19th century descendants.
The article when printed ran to about 18 pages, so you can imagine the kind of detail included. In spite of its length, there were only eight footnotes, six of which were explanations of items in the text and two of which were truncated source citations.2 I scanned the article looking for in-text, informal citations and found a small handful of vague references like "according to records held" in XYZ county or "land records indicate" or similar remarks.
Eighteen pages, eight source citations. That's problematic, especially considering that there were numerous statements of "fact" made without any references to pertinent documents whatsoever. Unfortunately, at least one of these "facts" (the relationship between the veteran and his parents) has already been disseminated widely to researchers of this family as absolute truth. Everyone seems to have overlooked the fact that the author of this article only speculated as to whether several of these generations were related in the manner stated. The lack of documentation only compounds the problem because there's no way for any other researcher to take the specific path the author did through the records used to compile the article.
I've been reading a variety of blogs where researchers complain about the push to source Internet-published research. It's not the bloggers who are complaining, generally speaking, but the readers. To be certain, source citations are a hot-button issue amongst genealogists, even those who would never think to publish their research without including specific references to supporting documentation. For the latter group, the discussion revolves more around how to craft source citations, but for the former group, the complainers, the debate is still focused on whether or not source citations are necessary.
I think it's well past time that we reframed that debate, and I'm going to use myself as an example of why and how.
I first encountered the Internet in 1996, give or take a year. By 1998, I was actively researching online, as much as one could do in those days. In November 1998, I took over the USGenWeb site for Rabun County and began transcribing documents to place online. I learned how to write HTML. And I began posting my own research problems online on message boards and through mailing lists. I even went so far as to place actual research online. But I conveniently forgot everything I had learned in high school and college and did not give specific references to much of what I placed online.
That bit me on the hiney in a couple of ways. First, I had a huge problem with people sending me my own research, lifted verbatim from message board posts or, in a couple of cases, my own web site. I figured that by the time it made it back to me, the information was several times removed from its original place of publication. Otherwise, surely the senders would have recognized that the author of the post (or whatever) and the person to whom they were sending this "research" were one and the same. Right?
Then I encountered a second problem: Some of my research was wrong, and there it hung out on the Internet for God and everybody to see. Worse, I knew it had been embedded into other people's work, if only because it had been out there for so long. If I had put better source references with those posts, messages, and so forth, then perhaps another researcher might have caught my mistakes and helped me correct them before things got out of hand. But no, that didn't happen. I caught them myself, yanked everything I could off the Internet, and have spent the past few years trying to correct what couldn't be taken down.
The end result is that I'm now a lot pickier about what I place on the Internet and how. I'm also extremely careful about using someone else's work, to the point of nearly completely ignoring undocumented research. When I see my old undocumented research out on the web, in whatever form it takes, I cringe and vow to do better in the future because now I know better. And that is the caveat. If researchers won't cite their sources, then they can't expect to be taken seriously in any way, because other researchers, careful researchers, know better than to trust undocumented research. It's like finding food on the floor: you pick it up to throw it away but you would never, ever eat it, no matter how hungry you are, because you don't know where it's been.
I look at it this way: It doesn't matter if genealogy is a labor of love or a profession. Either way, it costs a lot in time, money, and labor. Shouldn't we then go the extra mile and do it right? The author of the piece that inspired this post obviously put a lot of effort into that article, researching in a wide variety of records across several states. The lack of specific references, i.e. source citations, has rendered the whole into a nearly useless ramble. All that effort wasted because the author failed to document his work. What a shame, for both the author and the reader.
* * * * *
1. I homeschool my son. For this project, Caleb will be conducting the research on his own, although I will help by suggesting sources, helping him formulate a research plan, and providing published finding aids, not necessarily in that order. But, he's 14 so I'll be checking behind him, which means conducting at least part of the research (like an Internet search) separately. Yes, he will receive a grade for his work, both for the research and the final product.

DURHAM, N.C. – The seventh-ranked Duke field hockey team fired 17 shots, including 11 on goal, but fell to top-ranked Maryland 5-1 in its regular season finale Saturday afternoon at Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium.
After 10 minutes of back and forth play to start the contest, the Terrapins jumped out to a 2-0 lead, scoring on their first two penalty corner opportunities. The Blue Devils had a couple chances of their own, including a well-placed pass from graduate student Cherry Seaborn inside to senior McKay Ross, but were unable to get past Maryland goalkeeper Natalie Hunter. The visiting squad added a third goal with 3:32 remaining in the period when Anna Dessoye redirected a penalty corner hit to give the Terrapins a 3-0 halftime lead.
"You've got to give Maryland credit on the execution [of their penalty corners]," said head coach Pam Bustin. "They were sharp, they were deceptive."
Duke opened the second half with increased activity on its scoring end and logged shots on five penalty corners before Maryland's Ali McEvoy took the ball the other way in transition and sent it ahead for teammate Alyssa Parker to make it a 4-0 game.
After a good look by senior Emmie Le Marchand near the front of the Terrapins' cage, Mieke Hayn increased Maryland's advantage to five goals with 6:32 left on the clock. Le Marchand was then awarded a penalty stroke in the 65th minute, which she successfully converted for her 11th goal of the season.
The Blue Devils earned three more penalty corners in the final five minutes of regulation, and the Terrapins had one just after the final whistle, but the score remained 5-1 at the end of the contest.
"Their goalkeeper made some great saves … That's on us to finish it," Bustin said. "We've been working on that all year. We're creating the opportunities now – we have to have the poise and the composure to put it away. It's a shame it didn't happen for us today."
Despite the score, Maryland held just a one-shot advantage at the end of the match, registering 18 to 17 shots by Duke. Meanwhile the Blue Devils led in penalty corners, 8-7. Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Blazing posted four saves in the loss while the Terrapins' Hunter had seven and Brooke Cabrera entered late in the second half to notch three stops.
Following the game, Duke honored its eight-member senior class which includes Ashley Camano, Grace Christus, Devon Gagliardi, Paula Heimbach, Emmie Le Marchand, Brenna Rescigno, McKay Ross and Cherry Seaborn.
"They are a group that will be so important and so special to this program forever for helping and committing to making the change to put Duke back in the top-10 and back into championship contention," Bustin said of the senior class. "They've made the changes and they've stayed with it for the last three years, and as you can see, they're an important part of our on-field success."
With an overall record of 13-5 and an ACC ledger of 3-3, the Blue Devils received the No. 4 seed in the upcoming ACC Championship and will face No. 5 seed Virginia (15-4, 3-3 ACC) in the tournament's quarterfinals Thursday, Nov. 7 at 11 a.m. The 2013 ACC Championship will be hosted by Boston College Nov. 7-10 in Newton, Mass.

artsyville love on the go
finally figured out how to create a little bit of artsyville love on the go - introducing doubledoodle keychains! the image is printed on the front AND back (so you're covered on both sides), then sealed in a most durable 2x3 acrylic covering. so, i think i'll have a little sale in the shop to kick them off. from now through sunday, buy two keychains and get one free - just let me know in the notes to seller which one you'd like. and now i've got to go perk up a bit. i've been misaligned this week for no good reason, which is usually the worst kind, because there's nothing concrete to poke with a fork and say, "hey, what's your problem? get with it." even the plumed pencils only uplifted me for one feathery moment. it's that elusive off-ness that keeps me awake at night and gives me an insomnia hangover the next day. that nagging feeling that i'm the most disorganized mother in the world. the persistent reminder that the gene for social interaction was left entirely out of my DNA. the upshot is that it's a gorgeous day, which means i can go for a walk and sulk for a while - and now i can take my doodles with me! wishing you all a great weekend!

Eee - I love these! So so happy.
I'm right there with you on the "offness"...it is totally a bummer. You are so right -with no cure, it gets a bit frustrating.
I did get up and take a dance break today and it helped. Care to groove? :)
(Hope it gets better soon)

Ooo! Will take a good look at the options later this evening!
Hope you walked out your sulk and the weekend helps you shake the offness. Could playing weekword help? (I was tagged it for next week: www.domesticscribbles.com)
Thanks for making us smile!

yes, sulk all you want. sometimes, you just have to embrace the funk or it will simply be post-poned until another day and return all the sooner. i love your key chains!

"that nagging feeling that i'm the most disorganized mother in the world. the persistent reminder that the gene for social interaction was left entirely out of my DNA."
Well, if it makes you feel any better I have those very same inklings about myself on a continual basis (and have never thought them of YOU!).
Here's to a gorgeous first-weekend-of-fall day and getting back "on".

Keychains, perfect! I wanted to get Miss A's teacher a little gift, and this fits the bill :)
I'm slowly becoming an Etsy addict...
I hadn't been out for a walk since Monday, and I too was delighted the sun peeked out and I could get some fresh air - it was INCREDIBLY windy, but a great pick me up! Hope your walk helped...if not there's always wine :):):)

your keychains are a fabulous idea!
i can identify with that feeling you're describing -it's haunted me off and on for most of my life as a mother! sometimes there's no discernible reason- which makes it all the more frustrating.
hoping your spirits lift soon -

it's probably the full moon... take care & know you are an inspiration for a lot of people!

OK - these are freaking genius! I ran off to tweet about them before I even read the whole post, I didn't even need a sale to go rush and buy one - except now you made it easier for me I don't have to choose just one!
ANYWAY before I go pick them out, I'm sorry to hear you're out of sorts. I'm thinking that it's kinda par for the course for us artsy types...we get those highs, but they have to balanced by the lows!
SOunds like you need a ride on a rollercoaster! Take heart, you colorful person!

Oh I know that feeling - I've had it for the past few weeks - that's why my blog is so neglected. Weird though - you'll wake up one morning and it will be gone - just like that - no rhyme or reason! I think you just need the lows in life sometimes to re-charge and appreciate the highs.
Loving the keyrings.

great idea to make key chains. I need to think up some new products for the holidays. Sometimes I feel like one can only sell so much jewelry.
Hope your mood has come un-funked. There's nothing worse than a vague sadness, off-ness, with nothing to blame.

LONGMONT — Barbara Huff wrote a letter to her husband, retired Longmont Fire division chief Lynn Huff, on the evening that he died.
"At 10:28, I wrote, 'Lynn, I am lost without you. I have my arms around your pillow and the shirt you wore this morning. It's too quiet. You're not snoring. Will I ever sleep again? I miss your touch,'" shared Barbara Huff, who spoke Friday morning during her husband's funeral service at LifeBridge Christian Church in Longmont.
Lynn Huff, 60, fell to his death while hiking along the Waihou Spring Trail in the Waihou Spring Forest Reserve in Maui, Hawaii. He and his wife were on a monthlong vacation with another couple.
The Longmont Police Department honor guard rehearses before the funeral of retired Longmont firefighter Lynn Huff Friday morning Feb. 15, 2013, at LifeBridge Christian Church. Huff, 60, died Feb. 2 while hiking in Hawaii. Huff retired in 2010 as a division chief after 32 years with the Longmont Fire Department. (Lewis Geyer/Times-Call)
"Lynn died doing one of the things he loved: having an adventure with the love of his life," the Rev. Rick Ebbers said in his eulogy.
Lynn Huff, who lived in Boulder, retired in 2010 as a division chief after 32 years with the Longmont Fire Department.
Several hundred people, including many members of law enforcement and fire services, attended the service.
"One of his legacies is you'll be able to stand on his shoulders, move the service to the community forward, because of his training," retired Longmont Fire Chief Steve Trunck told the firefighters in attendance.
To the sound of somber bagpipes, the Longmont Public Safety Honor Guard gave Huff a final send off. At 11:35 a.m., a police dispatcher aired a last call.
"You will be greatly missed. Rest in peace," the dispatcher said over the scanner.
A slideshow of photographs at the funeral showed snapshots of Huff's life — working at a fire scene, golfing, sailing and playing with his granddaughter, Kendall. Black-and-white photographs showed a younger Huff manning a fire hose. More recent images show him grinning alongside his wife on exotic family vacations.
"We didn't have enough time together, but all the time we had was really great," said his son, Christopher Huff, who spoke briefly at the funeral.
Before the service, assistant chief Jim Lynch of the Longmont Fire Department called Huff a "firefighter's firefighter."
"Tradition is very important to us, and the brotherhood of the fire service is very important to us. Once you're part of that brotherhood, you're always in it," he said.
Lt. Hank McCarthy with Longmont Fire said Huff was "passionately devoted to the fire service and the people in fire service."
"He was a teacher and a student of the fire service, as well," McCarthy said.
Parked outside the church were fire engines and ambulances from a number of emergency crews, including from Lafayette, Louisville, Frederick-Firestone and Boulder. An American flag hung from the ladders of engines from Longmont Fire and Rocky Mountain Fire District.
Before joining Longmont Fire in 1978, Huff spent four years with the Cherryvale Fire Protection District, now the Rocky Mountain Fire District, and remained a volunteer firefighter with the district for 30 years.
Rocky Mountain Fire Chief Mike Tombolato said the district's new fire station at 7700 Baseline Road in Boulder, which opened in December, will be dedicated in Huff's memory.
Huff was instrumental in organizing Longmont Fire's hazmat team and incorporating women into the department.
After the service, a short procession of fire engines drove by several Longmont fire stations with their lights flashing, giving Huff his final ride. His wife and son sat in a 1950 American LaFrance fire engine for the ride.
Barbara Huff, who's retired from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, thanked the firefighters for honoring her late husband and for "being his family."
With her son standing beside her, Barbara shared her thoughts of the evening after the Maui Fire Department recovered her husband's body. She also shared five handmade cards that Huff had planned to give her during the vacation. She opened them on Valentine's Day, she said.
"I wish we had hugged or kissed today, but I remember your lips on mine. I remember everything about you, your passion for life, your passion for me. We had so many plans," she said.
The family has requested that donations be directed to the Lynn Huff Memorial. Go to www.lhuff.us for details.

Protein_Expression_and_Purification >
Antibody_Purification >
Antibody purification using thiophilic resins is a simple, powerful, and economical alternative to Protein A, the most common method of immunoglobulin purification. Although Protein A antibody purification is very common, there are certain types of antibodies, such as the single-chain antibodies IgE, IgY, and IgM, that cannot be purified using Protein A. An alternative antibody purification method, thiophilic affinity chromatography (TAC), is ideal for these types of applications, as well as immunoglobulin purification in general, including IgG, IgM, IgA, Fab and Fc fragments, and C3 and C4 complement factors.
TAC is a powerful and simple method for the purification of proteins—in particular, immunoglobulins. It is an economical alternative to Protein A for purifying antibodies from whole serum and tissue culture. In comparison to Protein A-based immunoadsorbents, thiophilic adsorbents have a broader affinity for immunoglobulins. Further, more than 99% of total proteins are recovered using a thiophilic adsorbent, in comparison to less than 92% for phenyl and 75% for octyl agarose adsorbents.
TAC has broad specificity for immunoglobulins of different classes and subclasses from a wide range of species and has capacity similar to that of other affinity methods.
Its advantages are the simplicity of the sample preparation, applicability with a range of source materials and protein concentration ranges, and gentle elution conditions, unlike the popular Protein A/Protein-G separation methods that require extreme pH for elution, which the antibodies may not be stable enough to accomodate.
Thiophilic-Superflow Resin utilizes thiophilic adsorption chromatography. With this technique, protein adsorbs to a sulfone thioether ligand. The adsorption of different proteins can be promoted by adding different salts to the mixture. Varying the concentration of the loading salt can affect the adsorption affinities of IgG, IgM, IgA, Fab and Fc fragments, and C3 and C4 complement factors.
Purification with Thiophilic-Superflow Resin offers several advantages over purification with Protein A, the conventional method used for immunoglobulin purification:

Some examples of Boulder County's Subdivision Paving Local Improvement District charges:
Willis Heights 1 subdivision north of Longmont: Total assessment per property ranges from $5,310 to $6,540. If paid over the next 15 years, those payments would range from $354 a year for the property at the low end of that range, to $436 a year for the property at the high end.
Niwot Estates Planned Unit Development: Total assessment per property ranges from $5,310 for a property whose annual installment payment would be $354, to $5,970 for a property whose annual payment would be $398.
Gunbarrel Green or Gun Barrel Green: Total assessment per property ranges from $4,275, which could be paid in annual $285 installments, to a property whose total assessment is put at $8,835, which could be paid off in annual $589 installments.
Paving LID payments
Property owners can find the county's full-amount assessments for their properties -- as well as the projected annual assessments -- at bouldercounty.org/subdivisionpaving. The link is word-searchable.
Subdivision property owners who want to pay their assessments in full in order to preserve their standing to legally challenge Boulder County's LID must do so by 4:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 23, at the Boulder County Treasurer's Office on the first floor of the Boulder County Courthouse, 1325 Pearl St., Boulder.
Property owners can remove the LID assessment lien anytime, by making that full payment at the county treasurer's office between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
Property owners who haven't paid their full LID assessments by the end of December will get a bill for the 2014 installment in late January, along with their regular annual property tax bills.
Property owners with questions about paying the full LID assessments or about the first annual installment bill they'll get in January and when that installment's must be paid may call the Treasurer's Office at 303-441-3520.
At the end of the day Friday, 125 Boulder County residents had paid the full share of a road-paving assessment on their properties, preserving their legal standing to challenge the county on its recently created local improvement district.
County Treasurer Bob Hullinghorst said he hadn't yet tallied those 125 checks, but county officials have estimated that on average, the full 15-year assessment for a property included in its new Subdivision Paving Local Improvement District is $5,340.
Under Colorado law, each owner of property within the district has the option of paying the assessment down in 15 yearly installments, at the same time their annual property tax bills come due. But the law requires that any property owner who wants to contest the county's authority to establish the LID and its assessment charges has only 30 days from the county's resolution adopting the LID to pay the full assessment. That deadline is Monday.
The improvement district affects almost 10,900 properties in 118 county subdivisions. The average cost per year for a property has been estimated at $356.
When the commissioners' Nov. 21 resolution was filed with the county clerk's office Dec. 2, it placed a lien on every one of those properties. The liens will remain until the full assessment is paid.
Commissioners' staff members report that some subdivision property owners say they don't necessarily want to join or file lawsuits stemming from the LID, but they are paying the full assessment as soon as possible because they don't want the liens to remain attached to their properties.
Whatever their reasons may be for coming up with the entire assessment now, "most of the people who have come in to pay are fully well informed" about their LID options, Hullinghorst said Friday.
Boulder County has projected the LID's residential subdivision road rehabilitation projects -- chip sealing, asphalt overlays and other improvements -- will cost $72 million over the next 15 years, with the work to begin in 2014. The county is covering 20 percent of the cost and assessing properties the remaining $57.6 million.
Twenty-five percent of each property's LID assessment is based on that particular property's value. The remaining 75 percent is based on the length of roads in the subdivision where the property is located. Each property is also being charged a $13 administrative fee.
Boulder County Fairness in Road Maintenance -- an organization opposing the LID -- has calculated that the LID's countywide assessments would total about $58.6 million, according to figures provided by FIRM co-chairman Chuck Wibby, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the county..

Just got my SHP reg mounted on a tank and I wanted to compare to RT RoF to what I can pull on my Pneumag.

Just got my SHP reg mounted on a tank and I wanted to compare to RT RoF to what I can pull on my Pneumag.
Chexor out:
.Wav analysts:
First I looked at the first seven shots to confirm it was 1 peak per shot:
Then the pneumag (14 cps)
Then the RT (also 14 cps)
Are you one fingering 14bps on the pneu?
ooo, can you Analise some of my vids?
To leave feedback: Click seller/buyers name, Click feedback score, Click leave feedback
Once I looked at my control string (seven shots) I could then read the wav. I zoomed in on a 1 second section of the .wav (zooms using the mouse wheel and displays the amount of time represented in the window).
Let me try on the ones you posted.... stay tuned
This is from your w/paint video shot outside. Without a control string it's hard to tell peaks per shot so this either represents 10.5 or 21 cps. The ear test tells me 21.

Nice vids!
I ways enjoy watching comparisons like that.
Is it possible you can do one of my videos as well?
I was sure someone was going to comment on your tiny little bowling balls Having played Candlepin my entire life I can't understand how people can play 10 pin.
So what is the output pressure on your SHP reg ?
did you get a chance on mine?
some times i'm REALLY blind
21 bps with the SHP at its lowest setting... hmmm
not a clue, I'll measure it when I get home. lol
did you do the other vid?
I'm not in the least familiar with how software like that works.
The speed is very controllable. It has kick at first, but it's usually with a user who hasn't shot the mag before, and doesn't know what to expect. (In terms of recoil/smoothness). If you watch the first video closely that I posted, you can see that my friend delt with a small amount of muzzle lift right at the beginning of the video.
ill redo it outside, lol
Want to take a stab at figuring out the ROF here?
Steve Shuey , Team Crimson Reign
This is the most consistent single second. It's a little all over the place, but that is what always happens with trigger walking. Without software to normalize (in fact enhance) ROF, all trigger walking would look and sound like that. Still that's very impressive for a purely mechanical trigger.

Electronic cigarettes, e-cigs, are gaining in popularity among people trying to quit smoking. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and doctors believe consumers don't realize that e-cigs contain nicotine and other dangerous chemicals as well.
What is an electronic cigarette?
There are countless brands and flavors of e-cigs as companies try to broaden their appeal. They come in various shapes and forms, resembling an old fashioned cigarette, pens, USB flash drives, cigars, and pipes.
They are battery operated and turn nicotine and other chemicals and flavors into a vapor that consumers inhale. One of the known ingredients in e-cigs is propylene glycol, which is found in medical products and everyday items such as toothpaste and lotions.
Although e-cigs were introduced to the U.S. market in 2007, the first patent of a smokeless non-tobacco cigarette was obtained in 1963 by Herbert A. Gilbert. In 2003, the cigarettes became popular in China when pharmacist Hon Lik promoted them through his company, Ruyan, which means "resembling smoking."
In 2009, the FDA began to stop shipments of electronic cigarettes from entering the country, requiring they be formally registered. The ban was later lifted, allowing shipments back into the U.S.
In 2010, former Gov. Jon Corzine signed into law a ban on electronic cigarettes in public places and workplaces. The ban also included e-cigarette sales to consumers 18 years of age and under. Children were a specific focus of the law because the various flavors and styles were meant to appeal to them.
The ban was approved unanimously by the New Jersey Senate and Assembly. The law made New Jersey the first state to ban the use of e-cigs in public and workplaces. The bans have not stopped consumers from purchasing electronic cigarettes.
Several pro-electronic cigarette associations continue to dispute what they claim to be false claims by the FDA.
People hoping to quit smoking have turned to e-cigs with the belief that they offer less nicotine than the tobacco cigarette, a belief medical officials refute.
Alyssa Bredin from Hoboken has been a smoker for eight years and has now become an e-cig user. Bredin has been "vaping" for about a year now and could not be happier with the results, she said.
"I feel better; I don't smell; and I can breathe easier," she said. "My throat used to be so dry all the time when I would wake up. As far as I know [the only real ingredient] is nicotine, and nictotine is a stimulant and it's not that bad for you, [unlike] the 50 million chemicals in cigarettes."
Bredin's mother, Terri Bish, also a Hoboken resident, also transitioned from tobacco cigarettes to e-cigs. Bish believes that the U.S. made e-cigs are far more safe than those from other countries.
"Since none of the e-cigarette products are currently regulated by the FDA, we really have no firm information about their safety." – Dr. Michael Steinberg
The trend has become so popular that last year, a store opened on Hoboken's Washington Street exclusively selling e-cigs.
Not FDA approved
In 2009, the FDA established the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act to regulate tobacco-related diseases. According to the FDA, tobacco-related deaths kill more than 440,000 people per year.
The FDA has been striving to categorize e-cigs as a "tobacco product" which will make them subject to registration, product, and ingredient listing, among many other requirements. They have said that laboratory analysis from e-cig samples showed the products contained carcinogens as well as toxic chemicals such as diethylene glycol, an ingredient used in antifreeze.
After observing e-cig labels, the FDA concluded that cartridges claiming not to have nicotine actually do. The study also showed that similar e-cigs emit different varieties of nicotine.
Physcians fear the unknown about e-cigs.
"The e-cigarette is not regulated by the FDA," said Medical Director Victor Marchione, M.D. of Liberty Health's Smoking Cessation Program at Jersey City Medical Center. "Therefore you don't really know what the ingredients are. You may indeed be playing with fire. In the United States, tobacco is not considered a drug. Nicotine is an ingredient in tobacco. Therefore they don't have any jurisdication to regulate the e-cigarette at this time. There's no way to ascertain what nicotine level you are trying to achieve."
E-cigs have malfunctioned at times, which also poses a safety concern. A Florida resident was one of the victims of a faulty battery that exploded while in his mouth, causing him to lose his teeth and part of his tongue.
"There have been cases where people have been scarred or burned on the face from the device which has disintegrated in their hand," said Marchione. "I tell [patients] it's a dangerous device until it's FDA approved by U.S. standards. I don't recommend it at this time."
Marchione said many of his patients invest in e-cigs without researching the product.
"Since none of the e-cigarette products are currently regulated by the FDA, we really have no firm information about their safety," said Dr. Michael Steinberg, from UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School's Tobacco Dependence Program in New Brunswick. "We don't know for sure what other chemicals are contained in the vapor, and how much nicotine is delivered. The perception is that since they don't contain smoke, they are safe."
He added, "If [manufacturers] demonstrate that e-cigarettes were safe and effective, they would likely be much more warmly embraced by the medical and public health communities."
The UMDNJ- Tobacco Dependence Program is currently in the process of conducting a study comparing the use of e-cigs and nicotine replacement medications. The results of the study will be available soon.

WASHINGTON, Pa. — Two people are dead in Washington County after a domestic dispute led to an all-night standoff with police, and another person was injured.
Authorities say the standoff in South Strabane Township began about midnight. That's about 25 miles southwest of Pittsburgh.
Police say an estranged husband went to his wife's home and killed her and shot her boyfriend. The alleged shooter escaped to a neighbor's house and a standoff began. The gunman then killed himself, according to police.
Some people living in nearby homes were evacuated.
The names of the victims haven't been released.

Gamasutra has a postmortem on the rise and fall of KAOS Studios, the developer formed by the team that created the Desert Combat modification for Battlefield 1942. An interesting element of the story is how the studios expansion resulted in hiring developers with more complete resumes than the managers they were working for and other hurdles they had to overcome to succeed in an increasingly competitive FPS genre.

Nats: A Tale of 2 Zimmermanns
A tale of two Zimmermans highlights this week's edition.
Timeout for another shameless piece of self-promotion: Don't forget to tune in to hear Rick Wolf and me on Colton and the Wolfman on SiriusXM fantasy sports radio (Sirius 210 XM 87) Tuesday nights from 8pm-11pm ET – all the fantasy baseball news as it is happening and the strategy tidbits you cannot get anywhere else.
Jordan Zimmermann: Jordan Zimmermann tossed a complete game on the way to his third win earlier this week. Yes, it was the Fish, but sailing through 9 innings on just 102 pitches against any major league club is a nice achievement – especially when you realize that he did not complete any of his starts in 2012. JZimm will try and move to 4-0 when he faces the Mets on Sunday. Loyal readers and listeners know that Zimmermann is my pick for NL Cy Young, so it will not surprise you that I think he is still undervalued and can be had at 80 cents on the dollar if you move fast. Point to the low strikeout rate (4.5/9) so far this year, don't mention the excellent k/bb, whip and era and get yourself a horse you can ride all season long. BUY!
Ryan Zimmerman: The Nationals other Zimmerman -- Ryan -- has not been as fortunate or as rewarding to his fantasy owners as Jordan. The Nats had to place RZimm on the DL with a hammy injury. With only one HR and a K every 4 AB, Ryan was hardly lighting the world on fire. Better that he gets some rest and some time to work out the kinks than try and play through, continue to struggle and maybe even make the injury worse. For at least the next two weeks Anthony Rendon, who was called up from AA, will man the hot corner in DC. If you are in a keeper league, grab Rendon. In re-draft leagues, he makes sense only in deep leagues. Just please do not get too excited. He has never even had an AB at AAA nevertheless the majors. [Post script – Rzimm has only had 600 AB once in the last 5 years. When sitting at the 2014 draft table, I think you have to start thinking of him as more Aramis Ramirez and 550 AB max than a 650 possible AB guy]
Tommy Hanson: Tommy Hanson tossed 6 shutout innings Friday to beat the Tigers. Is Hanson back to the Hanson of old? Is he going to once again be the top flight starter fantasy players remember fondly from his days in Atlanta? I just do not see it. Hanson threw only 57 of 102 pitches for strikes and not surprisingly ended up walking 4 against just 2 strikeouts. Sell high warning. Sell high warning! If you own Hanson, send an email around touting his 2011 stats, tout his win over the mighty Tigers of Cabrera and Fielder fame, conveniently ignore his 2012 stats and his 1.53 WHIP so far in 2013 and see if you can sell above real value. You do not have a lot of time because his value is very likely to plummet after the next outing versus Texas. Well, what are you waiting for? Now!
Adam Dunn: Speaking of plummeting value, Adam Dunn had an ugly afternoon Saturday, going 0-4 with three strikeouts against the not so mighty Twins. Thus far this year, Dunn is hitting a paltry .098 with an even more abysmal .154 OBP. Of course, this is not surprising as he hit .204 in 2012 and .154 in 2011. I personally never liked low average hitters in fantasy. For every Dunn, you need two Robbie Canos just to get your average back to respectable. If you own Dunn, wait for the 2 HR game or 3 HR week and sell while you can. This is not a growth stock nor is it a value stock. Dunn will not be on many fantasy baseball title teams this year. Hold him at your own peril.
Garrett Richards: Garrett Richards may have arrived Saturday. The Angles hurler tossed 7 shutout innings against the Tigers to score the win. The easy call is to start him against the Mariners next time out. The big question is whether Richards could be a mainstay in deep AL leagues all year. My answer is yes. First, the Angels rotation is anything but secure. Weaver is hurt and recovery could be tricky, Wilson is coming off of surgery, Hanson mentioned above has not been himself for two years and Vargas has not proven he can be consistently effective away from the pitcher-friendly environs of Safeco. Second, this kid just throws gas. With an average fastball velocity that has consistently registered at or close to 95MPH, one has to take notice. Speculate.
Lorenzo Cain: Lorenzo Cain had one of those days about which roto owners dream. The Royals CF went 4-4 with a HR, 2 2B, 3R and RBI and a SB. Will Lorenzo hit.392 this year and evoke images of George Brett and his .390 season? Uh, no. Is Cain the type of speed/combo 27 year old post-hype player you should target as likely undervalued? Yessir! If the Cain owner in your league is willing to sell, feel him or her out. They may sell lower than you think. A 15 HR, 25SB season would not shock me at all. Buy.
Dayan Viciedo: 2013's injury parade continued on the south side of Chicago this week when the pale hose put Dayan Viciedo on DL with the dreaded oblique strain. That is bad news for the White Sox and Viciedo fantasy owners (like Rick Wolf and me in AL ToutWars). If you own Viciedo, you should not expect him back for a month – oblique injuries tend to linger. The question now is can Jordan Danks step up and perform. John's brother hit .317 at AAA in 218 AB last year. The bad news is that he was already 25 when he started to hit at AAA and had not hit .300 since A ball. Frankly, there is not much to get excited about with Jordan Danks unless you are in a deep AL-only league like ToutWars.
And last and but not least, this from the Baron of the Bottom of the Page -- Schultz says: "Since it's always easy to forget in a rush of enthusiasm, it bears repeating that there is nothing to be learned from Spring Training beyond sussing out who is injured and who is healthy. Exhibit A for 2013: Jackie Bradley Jr. The JBJ phenomenon carried the 22-year-old outfielder out of the $1/final round flyer group into the moderately expensive sleeper category. He rewarded expectant owners with a .097 batting average, 3 RBIs and a steal - a far cry from his spring training run of .441, two homers, 12 RBIs and a pair of steals. The saga came to a close this week with Bradley being demoted to the minors to make room for the return of David Ortiz. Bradley should make his mark in the majors someday but the foreshadowing of its time will not likely be a fantastic spring.
Brandon Belt is another spring flower that has yet to bloom with the start of the regular season. After belting (yes, we love witty wordplay here in this part of the column) 8 pre-season home runs, the Baby Giraffe has yet to hit one when they roto-count and has sadly reverted to his prior form with a .197 batting average. Belt's initial slow start could be attributed to an illness that had him receiving IV fluids but his slow start has carried on a bit too long for that to still be a credible cause. For the past two seasons, there have been lofty expectations that Belt will develop into one of the league's more prolific hitters. That may happen one day as he has just turned 25 (Saturday was his birthday - see what you can learn at Rotoworld) and he wouldn't be the first prospect to develop later than expected. Like Bradley, Belt should one day be a roto-powerhouse. It just won't be signaled by a strong spring training.
Now, do we need a refresher on the evils of the WBC?"
Response: Drat! I hate it when Schultz is right. Yes, unless you can draft Albert Belle of years ago, spring stats are not likely to signal a coming out for hitters. And yes, I really do loathe the WBC. That should be played, if at all, during the winter ball season not during major league spring training.

Mr. Phone: "Um, yeah. I see Dr. Notoncall, and she has me on Aspirin 325mg once a day for a stroke, and, um, I was wondering if I can change it to the baby Aspirin 81mg size once a day instead?
Dr. Grumpy: "Are you having stomach problems or bruising, or another problem with it?".
Mr. Phone: "No."
Dr. Grumpy: "Then why do you want to change it? If Dr. Notoncall told you to take 325mg I assume she had a reason."
Mr. Phone: "Cuz my buddy, Phil at the paint shop, told me he thinks the 81mg is gonna be better for me. Ya see, my girlfriend bought me the bottle of 325mg after my stroke, but she and I broke up yesterday, and I'm not gonna see her again. So Phil pointed out that since she's the one who got me the 325mg size, maybe now that she's left it's not a good idea for me to be taking them, and so I should change sizes to something she didn't buy me".
(Long pause)
Dr. Grumpy: "Sir, I think you should stay on the 325mg pills. It's what Dr. Notoncall told you to take."
Mr. Phone: "Is that safe? Cuz my ex-girlfriend bought them, and Phil said..."
Dr. Grumpy (interrupting): "If it's that important to you, then you can buy your own bottle of the 325mg and get rid of the one she bought you."
Mr. Phone: "Am I allowed to do that?"
Dr. Grumpy: "Yes."
Mr. Phone: "Okay, but I'm gonna go to a different store than she did."

The scene of the fatal shooting in Orlando where Ibragim Todashev was shot and killed.
Todashev, 27. allegedly had ties to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
FBI agents removed evidence after the shooting.
The shooting reportedly took place in an apartment while Todashev was being questioned about his ties to Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
"During the confrontation, the individual was killed and the agent sustained non-life threatening injuries,'' the FBI said.
Keirsten Zuliani of Orlando shook her head in disbelief after the shooting.

LONGMONT -- Longmont police are investigating the death of a woman whose body was discovered Wednesday afternoon in a ditch on the west side of Kensington Park, according to Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur.
Satur initially reported that the woman's death was not suspicious, but later on Wednesday afternoon said that while the woman's death appears to be a "transient weather-related incident," investigators want to hold off on classifying the death as not suspicious until the coroner completes an autopsy.
A man who spoke with police at the scene later left the area on a bicycle that had been inside the police-tape perimeter earlier in the afternoon. When approached, he said: "I am not saying nothing."
The woman was bleeding at the time she was found, according to police radio traffic about the incident.
The body's discovery was reported just after 2 p.m. The area of the park in which she was found is near Rothrock Place and Martin Street.
"From the initial information we received, it appears that this is potentially a transient weather-related incident," Satur said. "We need to make sure."
He said he did not have any information about her identity or approximate age but described the man who found her as an "associate" who reported that he spoke with her yesterday.
The woman's death comes just two days after the OUR Center closed its overnight warming center to redirect funds toward self-sufficiency programming, but a local faith-based organization increased capacity at its warming centers and has nightly pick-ups at the Longmont Safety and Justice Center.

Shopbop Giveaway: Get yourself some Elizabeth James!
While interiors will also be my number one love second on my list has to be fashion.
Years ago I never would have thought Michelle Tanner from Full House would make clothes that I would want to purchase, but alas I was wrong.
Be still my heart with all the jaw-dropping clothes that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen produce!
Here are some of my favorites:
I can already see this Elizabeth and James dress coming home with me.
I know summer is just arriving, but I'm already thinking Fall and this amazing chocolate brown Elizabeth and James jacket would fit in perfectly with all my other clothes.
One of my favorite things from their collection that I've wanted for a while now is one of their classic Elizabeth and James shirts.
Now I would love to use a $100 gift card from Shopbop to help me buy something from the Elizabeth and James collection, but alas I can not enter my own give-away.
You my dear readers can enter to win the $100 gift card!
Here is what you have to do:
- Be a follower of this blog
- Check out the Elizabeth and James collection and leave me a comment telling me what you would buy.
- Make sure you leave me an email address as well so that I can contact you if you win.
* Anyone can enter. You don't need to have a blog to do so. If you tweet or blog about this give-away you get an additional entry. Lastly you can use your $100 for anything at Shopbop!
