History of the Frozen Butt Rendezvous
When the Kaw Valley Muzzleloaders initially organized they held several rendezvous type shoots. The event that seemed to attract the most interest was the winter shoot held in February. The first few shoots in February were just called a winter rendezvous. It soon became apparent that while the participants were enjoying themselves they were also freezing their backsides off. Thus the name Frozen Butt Rendezvous naturally evolved.

Mark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Frozen Butt Rendezvous in February at Corndodger Station near Frankfort, Kansas.

Export Credit

Protect yourself against the risk of non-payment by your overseas buyer due to defined commercial or political events.

Political Risks

Cover includes laws, wars, strikes and political disturbances which obstruct the importation of goods into a foreign country from Zimbabwe. Boycotts, sanctions and terrorist activities which have these effects also fall under this risk category.

Commercial Risks

The main risks covered are Insolvency of the Buyer, Protracted Default (failure to pay an undisputed insured debt within a certain time after due date) and Repudiation (unjustified failure to or refusal to accept delivery of goods)

There are four basic types of cover:

  • Pre-shipment: Provides cover against the insolvency of the buyer or the occurrence of the political causes of loss between acceptance of an order and shipment of the goods.
  • Post-shipment: Provides protection from the moment the goods are shipped until final payment is received.
  • Consignment stock: For sound business reasons many exporters maintain stocks of goods in other countries. This type of cover indemnifies the Insured against confiscation or loss, due to a number of specific causes, before the goods are released from consignment.
  • Transit risk: Many exporters ship goods only to associate companies, where there is no commercial credit risk. This type of cover indemnifies the Insured against confiscation or loss of goods for political reasons whilst they are in transit.

Post Bench Press Loads and Workout Time to Comments
Complete the CrossFit Warmup for 3 rounds BEFORE class begins.  During the skill segment, perform 5 sets of Deadhang pullups. Determine the number of reps for each round by taking 70% of your 1 set max.  Rest two minutes between sets.

For the strength segment, follow the warmup progression and then complete 3 sets of 3 reps at 85% 1RM Bench Press.  Rest no more than 3 minutes between these work sets.  The entire strength segment shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes.

For the conditioning workout, there is a 10 minute time cap.  Each broad jump should be a max effort.  Be careful to land on two feet on the landing.  If you don’t have 5 Deadhang Pullups at a time, complete ring rows.  Make them as hard as you can handle.  Scale Ring Dips to either bar dips, ring pushups, or just pushups.

Bench Pressing is NO JOKE (this is a bit tough to watch)

Garmin 546 on binnacle

So, I have been looking for a chart plotter for my new to me O'day 302 and as usual spend forever trying to decide what to get. After comparing 1000 features online for what seems like weeks, I walked into the store and found a Garmin 546 that was in good shape (returned for a bigger model) and got a good deal on it. For once I decided I didn't need the best of the best and thought I had found a great unit at a great price and that I should be happy with it.

However, after getting home and once again looking online, I realized that a couple of people have written about the magnetic door that covers the SD card slot. So, I go and check mine and sure enough, there is a magnetic mechanism that keeps the card slot door closed.

My boat is a couple of hours away right now and I can't check, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience mounting this chart plotter on their binnacle and if it interfered with the compass?

Wondering if I should return it or not.

Screen_Shot_2017-02-09_at_6.51.22_PMOne of those scandals not mentioned by Former CEO Candelaria Saldivar-Morter but which can be linked to her term in office is that of the fraudulent nationality and passport documents issued to head of Mexican Ponzi scheme David Nanes Schitnzer.

Schnitzer was living in Belize for a number of years under the name David Banes before he absconded the country after receiving bail. There is more to report on tonight after Schnitzer’s, or in this case, Banes’ fake documents were leaked to the media.

As you may already know, you are required to live in Belize for five years before you can be granted nationality. Well, Nanes was here for less than that time and on December 17, 2012 he received his Belize nationality certificate with no. 28293 duly signed by Minister of Immigration, Godwin Hulse.

Five days later, the man known as Banes sent for his new Belizean passport. His leaked passport application document showed that a Senior Justice of the Peace, Gonzalo Heredia, signed it as recommender. Heredia claimed in the document that he knew the man “David Banes” for five years.

But David Banes was a total fake and charade. He went on to get a social security card and then driver’s license under his new Belizean identity.

Today, when the media caught up with Heredia in Belize City, he claimed he knew “Banes” for 3 years and that he was a client who he chaperoned in Belize City.

If you can recall, Schnitzer, although eventually caught by Interpol and held by Belizean authorities in 2015, was never detained for the serious acts of immigration fraud while in Belize. He was given a slap on the wrist by the Police who charged him with two counts of uttering a false document for the false driver’s licenses he possessed. Schnitzer’s attorney, Liesje-Barrow Chung, who is the niece of Prime Minister Dean Barrow, successfully argued for him to get bail, despite the fact that he was wanted by Mexican authorities for embezzlement charges. Schnitzer got bail and disappeared, until he was caught once more by Mexican authorities in January of this year.

Like many other immigration scandals there remains many questions on this case. Like…which officers vetted and approved the “David Banes” nationality application in 2012? Was a Minister’s letter attached to this application? As with previous case, apparently, we might never get the answers.

At Bethlem Royal Hospital, a museum celebrating the achievements of people with mental health problems hosted an inspiring Museums at Night event

A photo of a man being dressed up in a black top hat and suit
Twenty guests were invited to join London’s Bethlem Museum of the Mind – established in 1970 at a hospital with origins in the 13th century – for object-handling, a chance to recreate photos made by patient Henry Hering during the 1950s and after-hours viewings of the temporary exhibition, Adamson and Kurelek: Two Artists of the Mind.

Edward Adamson, a therapist and pioneer in the expression of the mind and healing through art, encouraged William Kurelek, his patient, to create large watercolour paintings.

A photo of a sign reading the museum of the mind
They contain disturbing, graphic content on uncomfortable subjects, reflecting the artist's inner torment. In the conservation lab, visitors were given a talk about Bethlem's planned move to a larger building on site.

Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the National Health Service, the development will house the archives, a permanent display, temporary exhibition spaces and a learning centre.

The staff were excited to discuss the move, as the current exhibition space is very small and the museum's collection is quite large.

They aim to be the most important national collection concerning mental health, and their friendliness and positivity shone during an intimate and informal evening.

When they move, two large statues currently on display in Ghent, Raving and Melancholy Madness, will finally be displayed at the foot of the entrance staircase.

The second talk focused on the hospital in the 1850s, when Hering was a patient. Hering's photos of fellow patients were typically before and after shots, capturing the sitters during their treatment and as they left the care of the hospital.

A notable subject of Hering's was David McNaughton, who was sent to Bethlem after attempting to kill the Prime Minister. Not knowing what his target looked like, he instead mistakenly murdered Edward Drummond, the Secretary of State.

McNaughton's case was discussed in the House of Lords and guidelines surrounding the defence of insanity were created. Today "McNaughton's Rules" are still used.

In one of the offices, freelance Object Handling and Reminiscence Work Specialist Renia Jenkins laid out a selection of her personal collection of Victorian and Edwardian objects and clothing for people to try on, handle and discuss.

An extremely enthusiastic and engaging presence, Jenkins told stories about the objects and her work in using objects in schools and therapy for the mentally ill, urging her audience to try on bonnets and jackets and have their photo taken while replicating some of the poses of Hering's subjects.

This relatively tiny museum is enjoyable to wander, and the big plans for the large collection were enthusing to hear for a group who were given goody bags at the end. A larger museum might not have been able to create such a welcoming atmosphere.

It must be obvious to anyone paying attention that ISIS is hoping not just for a strong reaction but for an overreaction. That's why the ISIS brand of terror is nearly always terror at its most intentionally provocative.

Overreaction brings recruits. Horror brings recruits. A beheading video demands a response. Destroying iconic pieces of past civilizations demands a response. As Harleen Gambhir, a counterterrorism analyst, wrote in The Washington Post, the attack on Paris was a trap for Europe and its right-wing anti-immigrant parties, with ISIS expecting a crackdown on innocent Muslims already living there and a movement that would make the current refugee crisis even worse.

In America, the most surprising takeaway from the Democratic debate Saturday night was that the ever-prepared Hillary Clinton did not have a sound-bite-ready plan for what to do about ISIS in the post-Paris world.

Instead, she stumbled on whether the Obama administration had been slow to recognize the danger of ISIS — of course it had — and allowed herself to get caught up in a discussion of her long-ago vote on the Iraq war and the semantical difference between "radical jihad" and "radical Islam."

What it showed, as much as anything, is just how difficult the question is to answer. If there's anything we should have learned in the post-9/11 world, it's that nearly every response we've tried has had its own problems.

By Sunday, Clinton was back in form, saying it was America's role to pull our allies "off the sidelines" on ISIS and into the fight. She was calling for American leadership, without fear of anyone asking the follow-up question of where that leadership might take us.

What Clinton did know, and from the start, was what not to say. Fortunately for her, if not for America, the many Republicans in the presidential field were all too ready to fill that gap, walking right into Gambhir's trap.

We can start with the GOP co-leaders. Donald Trump, when not saying the attack was about gun control, was reiterating his blame-Obama-first, no-refugee positions. Ben Carson said that America needed to do a better job of creating a coalition to join the battle. But when asked three times by Chris Wallace whom he would call to help create the coalition, Carson seemed to have no idea. Finally, he offered "all of the Arab states" and "all of our traditional allies." On Twitter, this was being called the Sarah Palin response.

Ted Cruz, meanwhile, said we were being too careful in our bombing and that we should worry less about killing innocent civilians. No, he really said that, and he didn't stop there. He then went out of his way to make sure this was being interpreted as a Christian vs. Muslim battle. Cruz said that we should not allow any Muslim refugees from Syria into the country, no matter how deserving, saying the idea was "lunacy." He said Christian refugees, on the other hand, presented no "meaningful" risk to America and should be welcome. He didn't say how we would be able to tell the difference between Christian and Muslim, presumably because he'll never have to actually make that choice.

From the serious candidates, Jeb Bush showed his original answer on his brother's war in Iraq was his real answer. He is now saying it's time to declare war on ISIS and if that means American troops, then that means American troops. He offered up a list of actions, including a no-fly zone, which could, of course, mean a possible confrontation with Russian planes, but I didn't notice any exit strategies.

Bush also said that the ISIS attack was a part of an "organized attempt to destroy Western civilization." Of course, ISIS has no ability to destroy Western civilization. It has the ability, sadly, to (apparently) blow up a Russian plane, ignite killing bombs in Beirut, and attack Parisians in nightclubs and restaurants.

Marco Rubio, meanwhile, took us back to pre-Iraq-war days and called the battle with ISIS a "clash of civilizations." In The Atlantic, Peter Beinart takes apart that idea. ISIS, he points out, is not a civilization, but rather a self-declared and unrecognized state in parts of Iraq and Syria. You can extend the argument and say the war is against radical jihadists or radical Islamists — take your choice if you must — but they are not civilizations either.

Rubio goes on to make the old argument that they "hate us because of our values." He says the attacks on the West are about freedom of speech and tolerance and diversity and women driving cars. He doesn't say, Beinart points out again, why ISIS would then blow up a Russian plane and why it would be at war, say, against undemocratic Syria.

None of this is to say that there isn't real urgency in taking on ISIS. The urgency may lead to real negotiations between the U.S. and Russia on how to end the Syrian civil war. France will take a leading role. The coalition, meantime, will grow. And the next president will almost certainly be faced with what to do next.

Ministers of the Church of Scotland are authorised to perform marriages. The Church does not regard marriage as a sacrament and ministers are free to marry people who are not members of the Church of Scotland. However, if neither the bride nor groom is a member of the Church, the first approach should be to minister of the parish in which one or other of them resides. In places where parish boundaries are not obvious, the local presbytery clerk should be able to advise.

In certain circumstances the Church of Scotland permits the re-marriage of divorced people in church. Our guide to marriage includes some frequently asked questions about getting married in the Church of Scotland.

Baptism is one of the two sacraments recognised by the Church of Scotland, the other being the Sacrament of Holy Communion. In the case of infant baptism the Church expects at least one parent or other close family member either to be a member of the Church or willing to become a member. In the baptismal service those appropriate adults profess their own faith and promise to give the child a Christian upbringing. In the case of adult baptism the person himself or herself makes the appropriate promises.

Baptism is normally administered at Sunday worship in front of the congregation. This emphasises the nature of the sacrament as incorporation into the body of Christ and the life of the Church. There is a little more flexibility in the case of genuine emergencies, normally in a hospital situation.

Through its parish system and territorial ministry the Church of Scotland seeks to serve all the people of Scotland and not just the membership of the Church. Nobody in the situation of bereavement should hesitate to seek the services of the parish minister, either directly or through the undertaker.
