    I live in North Carolina. What are the rules and regulations about selling blue crabs?
    Question:
    I live on Lockwood Folly River in Brunswick County to be exact. And I've been catching blue crabs in traps and I want to sell them to boaters that pass by my house. And I wouldn't be scared if it wasn't for me seeing the gamewarden riding his boat by my house once or twice every month. Anybody know anything. A website link would be great. Thanks for your time.

    Answer:
    http://www.ncfisheries.net/s This website will answer your question for you. I do know that you can get a recreational license and have up to five crab traps, but I don't think you can sell the crabs. I'm not sure though, but that website will tell you. If you have to get a commercial license it will cost you big bucks. I don't think they issue them anymore and you'll have to buy one from a private person and they cost anywhere from 1200.00 to 2000.00. Be careful, the penalties are pretty rough for violators. Wildlife Officers don't normally enforce those regulations, but they do have the authority to. Marine Fisheries Enforcement handles most commercial and saltwater regulations. I live on the Pungo River. Coastal NC is the closest place to heaven I know.

    Does anyone know about Triracial "Isolates" of Carteret county, North Carolina?
    Question:
    I have reason to believe that my great-grandmother was triracial, although all of my ancestors on record were listed as "White." Her fahter was from Carteret county and her mother from Brunswick county. My grandma claimed to be Italian, but twenty years of genealogical research has turned up not Italian surnames and a big dead end. I'm reduced to observing and re-observing very old photos.

    Answer:
    I walked away to get a cup of coffee while muttering "what the heck was her name" and it came. Virginia DeMarce is a well respected researcher, and she had published an EXCELLENT scholarly paper on this..which is in an old National Genealogical society quarterly. It was such a good article that I remember it to this day, and it is more than 15-20 yrs back. There was indepth discussion of a number of families. The bulk of the conclusions came from court and land records, among other things. If you feel sure this is a probable end for you.. the article would be worth digging for. I will see if I can't find reference online. Drop me a note through my profile, if your email is not open. edit- http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/Melun geon/2003-03/1047763822 here is a list of references

    Where could I volunteer on a regular basis at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter?
    Question:
    I'm looking for somewhere either in Brunswick County, North Carolina or Wilmington, or Southport in North Carolina. I'm even willing to go down to Myrtle Beach, SC

    Answer:

    geologists and astronomers... please take a look at the coastline configuration of the NC/SC border, on...?
    Question:
    a map or on Google Earth... There are two very prominent, roughly circle-shaped arcs of coastline, one in Horry County, South Carolina, and the other just north of it in Brunswick County, North Carolina. These are smooth, sandy beach areas. The coastlines to the north and to the south of these two arcs are very irregular and marshy. There are also numerous "carolina bays" in both counties, which are unexplained, oval shaped indentations in the earth, ringed by sand ridges approximately 3-10 feet in height, and all oriented in a southeast to northwest direction. I've heard that the two coastal arcs are merely tidally shaped features, but this strikes me as odd. Could the explanation be that they are really ancient impact craters from a meteor strike, wherein the meteor broke up into two large pieces and several hundred smaller pieces before striking the area? The smaller pieces might explain the carolina bays, and the two larger pieces might explain the two large beach arcs. What do you think? Is my explanation possible, impossible, likely, unlikely? The southernmost arc does extend a little bit into NC, up to Smith Island, which divides it from the northernmost of the two arcs.

    Answer:
    You are not the first to think so: "William F. Prouty's contention (1952) that the Carolina Bays were formed by impact has not been refuted by direct evidence nor has it been tested by more modern methods. Recently, however, several papers have been published which relate evidence that could be viewed as supportive of Prouty's hypothesis. For instance, P.S. Martin's "over-kill" scenario is in trouble due to finds of mammoths in Europe which date 5,000 years younger than earlier discovered specimens. This closes the gap between the youngest date for mammoths in America (10,500 B.P.) and for Europe (12,000 B.P.) to 1,500 years (see G.R. Coope and A.M. Lister, Nature Vol. 330, 3 Dec. 87, pp. 472-474)" On the other hand (playing devil's advocate): "Bays persistently turn up on amateur lists of meteor impact craters, but they are definitely not due to impact. > There is no meteoritic material associated with them. > The elliptical shape invites speculation about oblique impact. In fact, only the most grazing impacts produce elliptical craters. A crater is due to the instantaneous release of a meteorite's kinetic energy as heat, and that process will not depend on trajectory. Oblique impacts do produce a distinctive ejecta pattern. Ejecta is not thrown backwards toward the direction of approach, and ejecta thrown in the direction of travel will be flung upward. The only places ejecta will be hurled around the crater rim will be off to the sides, producing a two-lobed "butterfly" pattern. The bays show no hint of such a pattern. > Impacts melt the target material, and impacts large enough to create these bays should have penetrated the soil, excavated bedrock, and produced distinctive signs of intense disturbance in the bedrock. There should also be plenty of bedrock ejecta around the bays. None of these features are present. The formation mechanism of the bays is still imperfectly known but most geologists suspect they are the result of chemical weathering in a warm, moist climate with poor drainage."

    Has anyone else posted this??? "The cost of human LIFE is too high to pay for cheap labor"!!!?
    Question:
    editor Discuss This Article AP Headlines Recent Commuter Jet Crashes in U.S. Lone Comair Survivor Pulled From Plane Almanac Predicts an Extra Cold Winter Sports Taveras Runs Hitting Streak to 30 Games U.S. Smothers Australia 113-73 at Worlds France Advances to the Quarterfinals Strange News 128 Students Suspended at Ind. School Father-Son Team Set Watermelon Records Chinese Sex Toys Confiscated in Vietnam Officials say locals swamped by illegals Most at hearing say feds ignore immigration By Tim Whitmire Associated Press Gastonia | A federal effort to enlist local law enforcement officers to help identify and deport criminal illegal immigrants is a mere stopgap in the face of a much bigger problem, officials told a congressional panel Friday. "I and many others strongly disagree with President Bush's policy, or lack of, on illegal immigration," Mecklenburg County Sheriff Jim Pendergraph told four House members at a hearing on empowering local law enforcement to combat illegal immigration. "The Congress of the United States has let us down by the lack of action on the illegal immigration issue for decades," Pendergraph told the panel that included North Carolina Republican Reps. Virginia Foxx, Patrick McHenry and Sue Myrick. Rep. Mark Souder, R-Ind., chairman of the subcommittee of the House Committee on Government Reform, also attended the hearing at Myrick's Gastonia office. Pendergraph's department last winter signed a memorandum of understanding with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The agreement allowed 12 deputies to be trained to screen the immigration status of people arrested in Mecklenburg, home to North Carolina's largest city, Charlotte. The 287(g) program, as it is known, gives local officers access to ICE's database of fingerprints and photographs, which Pendergraph and others say is the only reliable way to identify the immigration status of an arrested person. Since screening began May 1, Pendergraph said, his department has found that most of the immigrants who pass through his jail are here illegally. "So many illegal immigrant criminals have been identified through my 287(g) program, it is causing me a jail space problem," Pendergraph said. Pendergraph's department is one of only seven departments in five states with such agreements and access to ICE's database. Gaston County Sheriff Alan Cloninger told the panel his department received approval Thursday to join the program, but Pendergraph said many other law enforcement leaders who have tried repeatedly to participate in it tell him they have been turned down or ignored. An estimated 405,000 illegal immigrants live in North Carolina, McHenry said. Michael Lands, district attorney for Gaston County, said the federal government doesn't have enough agents to handle an illegal immigrant population of that size. "Ultimately, and I mean no disrespect, this is a federal government problem that you need to address," he told the panel. The government's approach to illegal immigrants, Lands said, has been "to wait until they commit a state crime and then determine if it's serious enough to deport them." Souder responded that federal, state and local governments will have to cooperate to improve the system. "Somehow we've got to figure out how to do this together," he said. The mother of a Gaston County teacher who died in a July 2005 hit-and-run crash in Brunswick County caused by an illegal immigrant pleaded with the panel for a solution. Scott Gardner was on vacation with his family when their car was struck by a truck driven by Ramiro Gallegos, who was intoxicated and had a history of drunken driving arrests. Wife Tina Gardner remains in a vegetative state at a nursing home, her mother-in-law Emily Moose said Friday. The couple's two young children are effectively orphaned. "I believe the cost of human life is too high to pay for cheap labor," Moose said, near tears. Gallegos was sentenced earlier this year to 14 to 18 years in prison after pleading guilty to a charge of second-degree murder. "If you break the law to get here, you're not going to respect the law once you're here," McHenry said. That comment, plus a statement by Moose that "millions" of lives have been lost to illegal immigration and a complaint by Foxx that the media obsesses about the number of U.S. deaths in Iraq while saying little "about the people being killed by illegal immigrants every day," appeared to motivate Lands to interject. "I think it needs to be said - and you all know - illegals aren't the only ones out there committing crime," he said. "There's plenty of crime by American-born citizens."

    Answer:
    Yeah, lol. As far as the last quote...hahahaha. I know their are people born and raised here that commit crime. There is no doubt about that, however, do we need the added extra from people who are not supposed to be here anyway!!! Oh, I see, lets accept crime from illegal immigrants because American legal citizens commit crime too. LOL That is like when a little kid is caught doing something naughty..."Mommy, bobby sneaked a cookie too." Well...now its justified!LOL LOL Bunch of freakin babies...no wonder we are in the state of affairs that we are!

    Fellow atheists, I need help!?
    Question:
    The Brunswick county school board (a county very close to me here in North Carolina) is pushing for creationism to be taught in science classrooms alongside evolution. I feel like I must do something. I'm trying to find out if the next committee meeting will be open to the public or not. If it is, I soooo hope to attend. If it's not open to the public, someone will definitely be getting a phone call or letter, or both. My question is this...What do I need to do to make sure I am prepared? Have any of you ever done something similar? Do you have any advice or suggestions? "The Brunswick County school board is looking for a way for creationism to be taught in the classroom side by side with evolution. "It's really a disgrace for the state school board to impose evolution on our students without teaching creationism," county school board member Jimmy Hobbs said at Tuesday's meeting. "The law says we can't have Bibles in schools, but we can have evolution, of the atheists." The topic came up after county resident Joel Fanti told the board he thought it was unfair for evolution to be taught as fact, saying it should be taught as a theory because there's no tangible proof it's true. "I wasn't here 2 million years ago," Fanti said. "If evolution is so slow, why don't we see anything evolving now?"

    Do you know anything about these colleges?
    Question:
    I am a junior in high school. I have about a 3.7 and will probably graduate with about that, maybe a little higher. I have not taken the ACT or SAT, i have, however taken the PSAT and the PACT. I got a 24 on the practice ACT as a sophomore, but my goal is to get above a 26. (in the high twenties) I have taken ACT prep classes, etc. I do feel that the SAT will be much easier for me, haven taken the PSAT. I haven't recieved my scores but they will be higher in comparison to my ACT scores I'm sure. I am on the girls varsity tennis team, I am in jazz band, I did participate in Marching Band, I have been on the honor roll through out highschool, I worked for the Obama campaign from august-november ( i was an intern,worked on average 3-4 hours a day 5 days a week), I take saxophone lessons, and I take dance classes and have since I was little. I am interested in philosophy, communications, humanities, spanish(favorite subject), and I am somewhat interested in politics. I hope to do a lot of volunteer work in college. Ideally, I'd like a mid-size college in a warm college-town with liberal students. But that does not mean I won't be able to handle other things. I live in Michigan. I am liberal, I like people who are intellectual and don't party all the time, but people who do know how to have fun. I made this list of colleges out of the Fisk Guide to Colleges 2009. I would VERY much appreciate it if anyone could give me any advice, or just give me any info about the following collegeS (it would be great if it was from a student that goes there!!) : American University- Wash DC. bard college- NY Bodwoin College- Brunswick, ME UC Santa Barbara, CA UC Santa Cruz, CA University of Colorado at Boulder Drew University- Madison, NJ The Evergreen State College- Olympia, Wa Geroge Washington University-Wash DC Gettysburg College- PA Hofstra University- Hempstead NY Indiana University- Bloomington, IN McGuill University- Quebec, Canada Ithaca College- Ithaca, NY Lewis and Clark College- Portland, OR University of Michigan Michigan State University of North Carolina- Asheville, NC North Carolina State University- Raleigh NC Oberlin College- Oberlin, OH University of Virginia- Charlottseville,VA University of Vermont- Burlington, VT
