A few years ago, my sweet husband gave me the best gift ever–a Garmin GPS. I'd just gotten to the point in my life that I was tired of getting lost. So he got me a GPS for Christmas. And I never got lost again–but I did hear a lot of "make a U-turn…whenever possible make a U-turn!" (We affectionately named my GPS Rhoda, since we were on the road-a quite a bit!)
Anyway, Rhoda needs an update. A few weekends ago we were in Denver, plugged in a restaurant and drove across town, only to discover that the restaurant had closed down. Plugged in another one, same story. The same thing happened in California this last week when we plugged in a Barnes and Noble. That building is now a fitness club.
So Rhoda needs an update. Things are quite different now from what they were several years ago. And, frankly, I'm tired of getting lost, feeling frustrated, and wasting time and gas!
Could the same be said for our ministries? What worked years ago was great–it got us to our destination. But are we sure that it really is the best thing today? Do our ministries need an update? Yeah, it might cost us something in time and resources to download the latest version of ministry, but just think of the time and money we'll save by having the most current ministry methods, strategies, and ideas as our navigation tool.
I'll tell you that a couple books we've published lately do that for me–realign my way of looking at ministry–both children's ministry and family ministry. I highly recommend them for realignment. Check out Shift: What it takes to finally reach families today by Brian Haynes (http://tinyurl.com/l38sda) and Turbocharged: 100 simple secrets to successful children's ministry by Dale Hudson and Scott Werner (http://tinyurl.com/l3f8y3)
Kids LOVE these Sunday School resources!
You may be making some U-turns after reading these books, but I can guarantee you're going to like the ride and where these amazing authors take you on the journey.

A South Texas college student is making a big difference by speaking out against bullying. That message is not only spreading quickly but she's gaining a large audience all across the globe.
When describing Texas State University senior Lizzie Velasquez, the word small might be an understatement.
"I'm 23 years old and I've never weighed over 61—61 pounds in my entire life," said Velasquez.
If you think that's small, Lizzie was born 6 weeks early at less than three pounds. Doctors said she can't produce adipose tissue, or body fat.
(Watch Lizzie's inspirational videos below.)
"The syndrome to this day is still undiagnosed. There are only three people in the world that we know of personally that do have this syndrome," said Lizzie.
Lizzie is also blind in her right eye. Because of her disabilities and appearance she quickly learned other kids can be cruel.
"I did have to deal with the other kids calling me 'skinny bones' and 'grandma,'" said Lizzie. "It (bullying) started my first day of kindergarten. There was no easing into it."
The ridicule and bullying carried on for years.
One of Lizzie's worst experiences was in high school while on the internet. She came across a video that was labeled "world's ugliest woman" and it was a short clip of Lizzie.
"I scrolled down and saw there was thousands and thousands of comments and I sat there and cried my eyes out and read every single comment. And not one of them was positive— not one of them stood up for me," said Lizzie.
Shortly after that Lizzie decided she would stand up for herself...and others, too.
"I started realizing this syndrome is in my hands now. I can either make the best of it or stay home and cry to myself," Lizzie said.
Since then, Lizzie has written two books that aim to help people troubled by bullying, or self-esteem issues. For the last six years she has also traveled the country as a motivational speaker. Lizzie's message is so inspirational it's catching the attention of a nationwide audience and has been featured on several national shows.
"It's unbelievable to have the response of people who see my story and tell me their story," said Lizzie. "Or people who were close to committing suicide, see my story and realize there's a way they can go on."
And it's that response that makes Lizzie realize helping others is her calling.
"I feel like this is my purpose in life, and I've been very blessed to find it at such a young age," said Lizzie.
Lizzie is already working on a third book and hopes to graduate from Texas State University this spring. She plans to continue motivational speaking.

July 31, 2014
Since 1986 the American Farm Bureau Federation has been helping shoppers plan ahead for their Thanksgiving meals by looking at the cost of food.
With prices on the rise it can get expensive to put that turkey dinner on the table.
Good Question: Will it cost me more this year to serve Thanksgiving dinner?
Its no secret that food prices are on the rise and this year the folks at Farm Bureau say you'll pay more, but not much.
Farm Bureau's 25th annual food price survey is based on standard items on a Thanksgiving shopping list that includes turkey, bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls and pumpkin pie.
Farm Bureau found this year a Thanksgiving meal will cost you $43.47, that's a 56 cent increase from last year.
Shoppers will save on the star of the dinner, the turkey.
Farm Bureau says a 16lb turkey is about six cents cheaper this year with the averages cost being about $18.
While the cost of a turkey is down other items jumped in price, milk is up 38 cents, pumpkin pie mix is up 17 cents, sweet potatoes rose seven cents and brown and serve rolls are up four cents.
While it may seem everything on your list is more expensive some items on your list will help you save.
The price of green peas and bread stuffing dropped and the price of fresh cranberries remains the same.
In the last ten years the price for all of your Thanksgiving essentials has gone up about $11.
The American Farm Bureau Federation used more than 100 volunteer shoppers in some 34 states to compile this year's list.

There is a laser sword in the "defeat struggle leader". In that level there is a booby trap that makes you fall really far. At the end of the tunnel, there is a laser sword. It's stronger then any of the other ones. There is a generator in the "destroy plus escapee" mission. As your coming up the elevator,there are ledges to the left, and to the right. Jump on to the one on the right. Jump down to the ledge below it. There it is.
-When you can choose from the first two levels choose the one that is $13000 jump behind the tanks that are behind you. There should be a rocket launcer (without the lock on function) -At the "Destroy the fuel depot" mission, at the very end, there is a place where there are a lot of fuel tanks. When you destroy them at the right corner there is the kawasaki gun (a very valuable, strong and good gun with 50 shot that doesn't cost you a buck) -At the "Guard Fright Train" mission there are a lot of crates( shouldn't be hard to find). In one of the crates is a head. (the same that nine-ball uses) -In the "Retake air cleaner" look in the hallways that are located in the ceiling. There are gates blocking you but you can destroy those gates with one shot. At the end of one of those hallways you'll find a dual missle shooter. (it has a ammo count of 60 but shoots 6 at one time but is still pretty good) -At the mission where you have to guard the radar. When it starts turn backwards (180 degrees). Shoot open the door and you'll have a radar( decent radar but it will abort the mission)
An easy way to defeat Nine-ball is to wait. When you make it to the hole in the floor run up to it and when Nine-ball says his lines move back and wait. It takes awhile but he'll show. He is easier to defeat this way than to just run out like a moron and fight him.
Here is an description of two ac I really like. No 1 Overall a good ac except when there are a lot of (little) enemies. But good speed and manouverability and good against strong enemies like ravens and other ac's.

Intentionally die with less than -50,000 credits. Then, the game will restart from the first level with all items gained in the previous game. If done correctly, your pilot name will change to "Rebel" followed by three random numbers. The first time this is done, the radar will become a grid system and will detect incoming missiles. The fourth time this is done, the rear weapon may be fired while in motion. The sixth time that this is done, available energy will be doubled. Additionally, a ball may be fired from the laserblade by firing the blade, then pressing Jump.
Complete over 100 sorties with a greater than 90% win record and an over all rating of 98% or more. Then, unlimited leg weight points, core weight points, and generator output points will be allowed. Note: Ignore the overweight warning.
To return to the default view, pause the game, then press Start to resume the game. For the Japanese version of the game, press Select instead of Start.
After you beat the game you will be asked to save. Do this but if you didn't defeat nine-ball twice you'd better not overwrite your prevous game or you will never become raven number one. When you load the game again you will have acces to all the levels in the game. The last ac battle is a real money maker if you use the kawasaki gun.

- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes each side, or until white. Add pepper, garlic, onion and broth. Cover and simmer over medium heat until broth cooks off, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in spaghetti sauce, then cover and simmer another 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Sprinkle cheese on top, cover and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve hot.

I make this for my sons also! I usually just pan fry the chicken, that I have seasoned with italian seasoning, salt, pepper and garlic powder, in olive oil. After this is complete I remove chicken and keep warm. I heat the spaghetti sauce through (omitting the broth step and also the onions). I place the chicken breast on the cooked spaghetti, then place the spaghetti sauce on top and then the final touch is sprinking mozzarella cheese on top. If you add the cheese quickly to the hot spaghetti sauce it will melt on its' own. My son also likes for me to sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of the spaghetti noodles prior to placing the chicken on top.
This recipe is absolutely delicious and a very simple variation of a family favorite. The only thing I did was add Italian flavored breadcrumbs to thicken the "gravy" towards the end of cooking. That made it taste even more authentic! Also, I found that using frozen chicken tenderloins did away with any problem with chicken not being tender. Is now on top of family's most-requested list!
My husband and children loved this. I made the major of it while trying to sooth and breastfeed my 9 week old--easy! Thanks!

PARISHVILLE An overheated woodstove sparked a blaze that destroyed a Parishville home Monday morning, leaving seven people homeless, St. Lawrence County fire investigators said.
Two adults and five children lived at 246 County Route 56, which was owned by Neil F. Richards. There were no injuries.
The blaze was reported at 10:38 a.m., with Parishville fire crews on the scene until after 3 p.m. Nicholville, Potsdam and Hopkinton provided mutual aid.
The home, which was not insured, was declared a total loss in what investigators ruled an accidental blaze.
The Red Cross was summoned to assist the family.

The Daily Star
---- — Two recently graduated officers have joined the patrol ranks of the Oneonta Police Department, the chief said Wednesday.
Mark Stanard, 31, and Ryan Pondolfino, 24, graduated from the Broome County Law Enforcement Academy during a ceremony at the Riverwalk Hotel in Binghamton, a media release from the Oneonta Police Department said.
Chief Dennis Nayor said with the two additional police officers the department is two away from its authorized staff of 28 sworn members.
Starting pay in 2012 for police is $36,500, which increases $1,000 after officers receive a graduation certificate, Lt. Douglas Brenner said.
Stanard and Pondolfino are intelligent, confident but not arrogant, are of good character and have personal attributes to be excellent additions to the police department, Nayor said. The department was authorized to hire five officers and was highly selective in choosing three candidates, he said, and the third candidate decided not to pursue police work soon after starting at the academy.
Of 90 applicants who sat last year for a Civil Service exam to become an Oneonta police officer, 83 passed, city personnel director Kathy Wolverton said Thursday. Another test will be given Nov. 17, and 82 have signed up for results to be sent to Oneonta, she said.
In recent years, the city and its police department have wrangled with a police brutality case and the resignation of three officers in the wake of a scandal involving alleged on-duty drinking and sexual activities.
Nayor, who was sworn in as police chief six months ago, said the department already is on the path to regaining trust of the community, as shown by compliments and thanks officers and the department have received from residents.
Nayor said he would rather the department be short-staffed than hire someone who is less than highly qualified. From civilian to sworn ranks, staff must represent the department ``in the best way possible,'' he said.
Pondolfino and Stanard live in the city of Oneonta, earned bachelor's degrees from the State University College at Oneonta and have military experience.
Of 23 recruits who started the seven-month academy training, 14 graduated, the OPD release said. Officers received 960 hours of law enforcement training and instruction in topics such as firearms, fitness, emergency vehicle operation, first responder, legal studies, officer survival and many others.
Nayor, Brenner and Oneonta city manager Michael Long attended the graduation ceremony. Stanard was recognized as the most proficient in firearms qualifications and for his accomplishments, which included top qualifying scores and top academic scores.
Pondolfino earned recognition for top honors in physical fitness; he set a new police academy record in pushups by completing 312 pushups consecutively.

Just received the item today, used it but not satisfied at all. Very mild tone, doesn't stay longer than an hour. Haven't used other Adidas deos but I'd definitely stay away from this one the next time. Not recommended
Adidas Dynamic Pulse Fregarance was introduced in 1997. So this is
Very Oldest Type of Fregrance from adidas.This Deo smells like Lavender Room Freshner,but this deo hold smell can up to 10 Hours.
and this is very Gentalman type of fregrance and smell is like International Perfumes,so if you can go to anywhere in party so this is perfect for you.
again,no questions about the flipkart delivery,they are simply the best..talking about the deodrant,,it has a very mild smell and doesn't last long.if u are going for a party,it is quite a good one to use,but if u want long lasting results and want to use it daily for ex-before going to office etc,,,this not a product worth that..
the product price is comparable nice and very g8 ... i loved the adidas pulse.... genuine smell... and adidas dynamic pulse perfume also impressed me ... i love it as than only oredered this one ...aas deo and it impressed me...... thanks flipkart
The deo is good for everyday use as it is not very heavy smelling one.
Seems good enough for office thats what I liked about it.
The price is also okay.But if you want to turn every face in the crowd then this is not it.

Niagara Gazette — Gov. Cuomo is making good on his pledge to enable all New Yorkers to become involved in the state's traditionally hopelessly arcane budget process.
In some ways, there is still a long way to go, but the governor's creation of a website to lay open his proposed document for all to see signals a welcome intention.
The website is openbudget.ny.gov, and on it is all the information contained in Cuomo's budget proposal. If you're Internet savvy, indignant over public non-participation in the past and motivated to take part in the process, the door is now open.
The remaining obstacle is an old one: The budget will still be debated and eventually written by the infamous "three men in a room": the governor, the Senate majority leader and the Assembly speaker. We trust, though, that openbudget.ny.gov bespeaks a readiness on the governor's part to address even that anomaly.
Cuomo's message accompanying the announcement of openbudget.ny.gov says, "Open Budget is bringing the people back into government by taking budget data out of government file cabinets and making it available to the public for the first time in an easy-to-access, downloadable form. This will facilitate research, analysis and innovation. As a first step in my Open New York initiative, Open Budget provides a powerful tool for transparency and accountability, fostering citizen engagement and enhancing the public's trust in government."
The news release continues: "The Open Budget website provides easy, single-stop access to New York's wealth of budget data, including comprehensive machine-readable raw financial data along with tools and charts to make that information more understandable. To support transparency and to encourage participation in government, researchers, citizens, business and the media will now have direct access to high-value data which they can search, explore and download; use for analysis; and use to build their own additional tools that find practical uses for the data for all New Yorkers."

Product DescriptionAre you tired of washing and drying your vehicle with the fear of water marks? Water marks are caused by mineral deposits in water that eat through your vehicle's finish and leave a nasty haze on the clear coat, glass, metals and more. Sun light expedites this process and can make washing and drying very difficult. You can completely eliminate water marks with the CR Spotless water filtration systems that removes hazardous particles with its amazing filtration process. All natural water has some level of dissolved mineral salt in it. The deionization process uses special resin based filters to collect foreign particles so you have purified water that is safe for washing. To use this machine all you have to do is connect it directly to a water supply and connect a hose to the other end and you are ready to go. You can pre-rinse your vehicle in direct sun and even let your vehicle air dry, without the constant fear of water marks. You can also use it to clean your home's exterior windows, RV, boat, car and much more.
CR Spotless has two different models that do the same thing and just vary in the amount of water they filter. The DIW-20 can filter approximately 300 gallons of mineral free water and the DIW-10 can filter approximately 100 gallons. Each system comes with two filters and replacing them is as easy as sliding one out and sliding the other one in. Both systems come with an electronic monitoring device that will notify you when the filter needs to be changed. Just plug in the device to see if the filter needs to be changed. These mobile units come built on to a handy wheel cart, perfect for any mobile detailer. CR Spotless water filtration systems come pre-assembled, so all you have to do is connect it your water supply and start washing!

Definitely must own! Saves so much time and makes washing 100 times easier. I wish I would of bought this sooner.

Would they buy this item again? Yes
I place this in a category of must haves. Used correctly it will keep your car looking better as little to no calcium will be left behind to cloud the finish. CR Spotless, as a company, is a great business with incredibly customer service. If your water is like mine - hard - don't think...buy one of these units. Easy to replace resin, meter to help you know when the resin's life is over, and a sturdy, well made cart, and more help complete the package. Everything you need comes with the De-ionzer system.
Reviewed by Greg N. on 10/30/2009
Would they buy this item again? Yes
yes this is expensive but the time savings is worth the cost. My clients hate the drips that occur on their cars and when I use the CR spotless these drips do not show up. It also increases the amount of foaming action when you use is with a foam cannon or gun. The water is so pure coming out of this you need to becareful when using it with a pressure washer as the brass fittings will oxidate.

I stumbled over these gorgeous print cookies yesterday, when browsing the web. I am a cookie monster, so the category "too beautiful to eat" doesn't exist for me. However, I do have a category labeled "too expensive to buy", and these sweet designs by the company Modern Bite come at 42 Dollars for a box of 12.
Still beautiful though, and thus I wanted to share them with you guys.

I would have loved to have been married in an old Greek Orthodox Church but I'm not Orthodox so of course I couldn't use their church unless I agreed to convert to their religion seems fair. So I got married in a place more appropriate for our beliefs. Its no ones fault I couldnt pick that venue for my wedding its their rules. They dont have to change, I do.
When a child is baptized Catholic the parents and Godparents agree to raise the child in that spiritual environment and religion. If someone is opposed to that or really against it, then don't do it. But there is no ethical justification to lie to a priest and say 'I will raise my kids Catholic even though I hate your religion' just because you want that sacrament for an infant. Just don't do it and let the kid decide later in life.
So if someone lied....it wasn't me.
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."-- Albert Einstein.
My point, though, was that either the church thinks a Catholic wedding is a sacrament only for Catholics or it doesn't. If it does think that, why are non-Catholics allowed to get married in a Catholic ceremony? If they don't think that, why are they forcing people to agree to raise their mythical children a certain way just to get that perk?
No one lied in this case.I went to baptism classes and specifically asked the priest who was sort of in charge if I had to agree to raise my children as Catholic and was told that I did not. The priest asked my husband if he planned to bring the kids to church, my husband said that he did; the priest then asked me if I intended to interfere with that. I said I would not interfere, but I would not participate, either, and the priest said that that was good enough.
So if someone lied....it wasn't me.
Catholics are taught that you baptize your kid as a way to bring them into the community of the church. Something they emphasize in the classes we took is that you shouldn't do it to keep your kid out of Limbo (which they got rid of, thank goodness) or because Grandma/Grandpa is worried about their immortal soul. It's to bring them into the community. So, if you aren't in the community yourself, and you don't intend to bring your kid in (i.e., with regular mass attendance, bringing them up in the faith, etc.) there's no point really.
We were still practicing with MacBoy. In fact I was in the choir and did the readings on Sundays once a month. But with Mini-Mac we were starting to drift and we did think about not baptizing her. But in the end we figured we were still attempting to practice and not doing it would guarantee we left the church and we weren't ready for that just yet.

For anyone who cares to check it out--here a rather interesting FAQ section from the United Methodist General Board of Higher Education and Ministry
If you are someone who doesn't like to click on links, or you've got a slow-loading phone, here's a couple of statements regarding family and clergy:
[sarcasm on] Yep--sure sounds like the church is out chasing down people for permission to ordain their spouses. [sarcasm off]15. What if my spouse has a full time career and cannot be a traditional pastors spouse?
Then youll be joining about 85% of your ministry colleagues. Its not the 1950s anymore; churches no longer get 2 for 1. Your spouse should feel free to participate in church activities that she/he enjoys, but dont expect service as your assistant, first lady/gentleman, UMW chair, UMM chair, Bible School director, Sunday School teacher, or church pianist. You may have to help the congregation understand this as well, but remember your spouse signed on to be there for you not for your church. There is a vital difference. And while you may understand this, there may be times you need to address these issues with the churchs members.
16. How can I prepare for the stresses that ministry places upon the pastors family?
One way is to plan ahead. What will your boundaries be between church and home? How will you make personal decisions when you have to decide between the two? The church needs to realize that they are hiring you, not your family. Your family shouldn't feel they must conform to a particular role. If your spouse or family enjoys church activities, that will be great. If they dont, its perfectly okay for them to find different ways to participate. They need to find spiritual fulfillment too. If expectations seem to get out of hand, rely on other resources to support you your family, friends outside the congregation, colleagues, or even a good counselor. Regardless of where you serve, setting boundaries between work and personal life will be crucial to your long-term fulfillment and support in ministry.
"Me, cutie/chicken, the egg cup, I am the hammer of my spoon!"--Jen_Faith translation
Now the Church feels differently if its a Catholic marrying outside of the Church's blessing (it use to make an exception for those who formally renounced. No more.).. But no marriage is not a Sacrament for just Catholics.
However I will point out the Church will marry a non Catholic only if they are marrying a Catholic. They do it for the sake of the Catholic. They won't kick a Catholic out of the Church because they fell in love with a non Catholic. However marrying a non Catholic requires a dispensation- I believe. Sometimes dispensations even allow non Catholic ceremonies for good reasons. I.e I knew a couple whose dad was a Protestant minister. The Church granted a dispensation for the father to marry the couple. They went through Pre Cana and the like...
This being said the the Church will not marry two non Catholics. My uncle who is a Priest wouldn't have been able to marry me a couple of years ago unless I was marrying a Catholic...
Non Christians or marriage between a Christian and a non baptized person they are natural marriages. These marriages are still valid marriages though.

I will have to take your word for that. What happens when the ministerial candidate is single when entering into the seminary? Within my congregation we have had 6 or 7 young people entered the process prior to meeting a spouse starting the exploratory process at age 15, 16, or 17. I don't recall that their prospective spouse had to be interviewed by a board before the marriage license or ceremony, but then I am not privy to that information.Since both you and suep have publicly identified as Methodist, I'll point out that in the Methodist tradition, a person can only enter the ministry if their spouse fully supports it. Why? Because the rigors of ministry are very hard on marriages and responsible for a great many divorces. This is widely known in the denomination and in other denominations, so spouses are screened along with the ministerial candidate.
There are indeed issues when you have relationships - fwiw, that particular situation that I posted, the pastor's wife and a prominent member of the church having an affair, really did not tear the church apart. The pastor did ask for re-assignment, I don't know his reasoning, but I suppose like anyone there was the pain he was experiencing and I would say that 95-97% of the church had no idea what happened. I did as part of the administrative council to which the staff/parish committee reports to - they had to tell us that the pastor had asked for reassignment. The next pastor who was with us for 25 years before his mandatory retirement at age 70.5 years would often tell us that life is "messy" and it is true. Life is messy.is to miss the point that such a situation will tear a congregation apart. That's not what pastors are called to do. There's a reason there's a scriptural injunction against leaders in the church serving when they have messed-up families. Such issues can and do tear apart churches. There's really no other position where your private life so directly impacts your ability to fulfill your calling as it does in ministry. Pointing that out doesn't necessarily mean celibacy is the answer, but it is a real issue and shouldn't be glossed.
The pastors I know are called to serve people to hear the word of God and to provide spiritual guidance to all people. Not just the ones who follow the doctrine of the Church, but to all people. It's true their lives are generally an open book, their actions are judged by people to be within a certain standard - but in truth they are not God, nor do they claim to be. There is no perfect person celibate or not.
My objection to the comments made by some is that one must/should/needs to be celibate to dedicate themselves to God, not distracted by sex, spouses, families, and to be able to adequately serve a congregation.

Marrying a non Catholic doesn't free the Catholic from their obligations. If they don't like the obligations they are perfectly free to go elsewhere.
As for logically inconsistent, the fact is their are plenty of Catholics who may love a non Catholic but they also love the Church. For them, they are of course going to still do their best to raise the children Catholic. They are also going to follow Church teachings in their marriage. If their partner understands these intentions by their potential Catholic spouse, and the Church makes him/her sign a form stating that he/she understands these obligations. Why shouldn't the Church bless the union?
The logical consistency is this. Catholics who are married have certain obligations. These obligations don't change no matter who they are marrying. Of course these obligations are difficult in an interfaith marriage, which is why the Church wants those obligations made clear to both parties. Its up to them to decide whether they want to proceed or not proceed.
If a Catholic were to marry outside the Church its excommunication. However for a Catholic to not attempt to raise their kids Catholic-they've already left the Church.

It is not the case that a Catholic marrying outside the Church is excommunicated. Instead, a marriage by a Catholic person outside the Church (without dispensation) is not seen as valid. The parties are not married, and so they are living in sin. They are not excommunicated, but are unable to receive the sacraments until they fix the situation and also make confession.

Who are the main candidates for the job of Pope?
I was surprised when I found out how broad the eligibility is- the person just has to be a male Catholic eligible to be ordained. I'm sure in modern times it will never happen- but laymen have been selected before.
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."-- Albert Einstein.
Once he's no longer Pope, is there a special way to address the former Pope?
In this terms, the Church isn't requiring anything of the non Catholic. They are rather making requirements of the Catholic.
I had heard the term excommunicated. But I did know that it didn't mean the person was barred forever more. They just had to go confession and get their marriage blessed.e confession.

Priestly celibacy is not part of the big Tradition I was talking about. Rather its little tradition. Catholics are free to think this could change and the Church could change it anytime it wants.
However when priestly celibacy was established it was a much needed reform. For the Catholic Church there are a lot of good practical things that come out of it. Because yes a priest can donate more time to God. But also things like Priests don't have to worry about supporting families. Before Priestly celibacy was established you had widespread simony, Parents giving money/property that belonged to the Church to the children etc. Simony still exists and existed a lot in the Middle Ages, but celibacy curtailed this
Say what you ever will about the wealth of the Catholic Church but the Popes in and of themselves at least recently don't accumulate a lot. Pope John Paul II in his personal quarters had a small bed (etc) And he left no money to anyone. Same I'm sure for Pope Benedict.
I do know with a lot of mega churches it feels like these churches become little dynasties handed down to Children. Some denominations have more established structures that don't encourage it. But in some more newer ones, its all about who you know in someways....
At the very least it would probably wise to keep the rule of bishops being celibate. (As the Eastern Orthodox I believe still do)
Celibacy of priests is not a divine law. But we can argue that Scripture says "it would be better not to marry" The Church is going to have to do what needs to be done.. For a long time there were enough men willing to give up marriage and so given celibacy solved a lot of practical problems its what happened. Now we have a priest shortage. The married deaconate has been instituted again, but we will see the rest.

I read this morning that all the rings, robes, etc. for the current Pope are going to be burned, since they can't be buried.
As for the next pope, I humbly nominate Catholic and man of faith Stephen Colbert.

TEGA CAY — The former janitor deputies say recorded women undressing in locker rooms at two YMCA facilities in York County was given a master key granting him access to both branches for more than a year, according to police documents obtained by The Herald.
Authorities have charged John Ross Eddy, 58, of 4085 Alana Court in Tega Cay with 80 counts of voyeurism after deputies said they discovered he installed recording devices at the Fort Mill-area YMCA branch on Gold Hill Road and the Lake Wylie facility on Charlotte Highway.
Police say the total number of women recorded on the devices is unclear because of poor video quality. Its also unclear if some of the women on camera might have been recorded more than once.
Eddy worked as a part-time janitor at the Lake Wylie YMCA, and occasionally worked at the Gold Hill Road location as a substitute, said Frank Moe Bell, CEO of the Upper Palmetto Branch YMCA, which oversees nine branches in York County and one in Chester County.
Two weeks ago, a Lake Wylie branch employee accidentally knocked a hidden camera out of the ceiling of the womens locker room, said York County Sheriffs Detective Chris Bomar, lead investigator on the case. Deputies sifted through the recording device and found pictures of women undressing without their knowledge or consent, arrest warrants show.
They also found that Eddy recorded himself setting up the devices, sheriffs office spokesman Trent Faris said.
Police arrested Eddy, charging him with six counts of voyeurism, but he was soon released on bond. The device police say he installed is marked with the letters LW, likely reflecting his use of it at the Lake Wylie branch, according to a search warrant.
The same day deputies arrested Eddy, Bomar said police issued a search warrant at his Alana Court house and seized his electronics.
On his laptop, they found videos of 34 more women at the Lake Wylie YMCA, and 40 women at the Gold Hill location, police documents show. Investigators determined that Eddy recorded women at the Gold Hill facility after matching the setting of the gym with the surroundings depicted on the recordings, Bomar said.
Believing he might have a second recording device, deputies sought a search warrant to seize more of his property.
The video recordings from this location and the other location in Lake Wylie appear to be recorded too close in time and date which indicates a second recording device being used which was not recovered during the first search warrant served at the suspects residence, Bomar wrote in an affidavit. It was also made known to us the suspect has a master key to all York County YMCAs in this area which he had access to even after he was released from jail last week.
Deputies searched the Gold Hill YMCA, the documents show, and found Velcro attached to the ceiling in the womens restroom, the search warrant states. The Velcro was similar to the one used to hold the recording device in Lake Wylie.
After searching Eddys home, police found a second digital recording device, according to police documents, and seized it along with Eddys iPod, five memory cards, batteries, a USB cable and a key to the Gold Hill Road building.
Deputies last week contacted Eddys lawyer, Rock Hill attorney James Boyd, and told him they prepared 74 additional warrants on Eddy. Eddy agreed to turn himself in and cooperate with the investigation, Boyd said.
Boyd declined to comment on the allegations against Eddy, but said time will show that Eddy has been an outstanding citizen.
The charges have just been made, he said, and were investigating them.
Eddy was in the York County Detention Center in York last Saturday, but was later released on a bond.
Deputies are still completing computer forensics on Eddys electronics, Bomar said.
Heather Sanford, a Fort Mill mother, said thinking about Eddy watching women is kind of creepy. She never noticed the maintenance man at the Gold Hill gym, but said he did look familiar.
Ive only been here twice since it happened, she said, adding that she prefers to take her children to the YMCA in Fort Mills Baxter Village.
As a personal philosophy, she said she never showers or changes clothes in the locker rooms at gyms.
But Zach Walker does. Hes been a member of the Gold Hill YMCA for the past seven months. After learning about Eddys arrest, he said, Eww and thats just nasty.
But his opinions about the YMCA specifically the Gold Hill location havent wavered.
Its a good place, he said. They take care of their people.
We hate that it happened, said Bell, the Upper Palmetto YMCA CEO.
YMCA officials performed thorough background checks on Eddy before hiring him a year ago, Bell said. They didnt find anything suspect on his record. Records with the State Law Enforcement Division confirm that Eddy has no prior criminal history.
We do everything we can to ensure that members are safe, Bell said. Safety is always our first priority.
About 29,000 people are YMCA members in York County, he said.
Bell said employees plan to re-evaluate hiring practices, although nothing in the hiring process indicated that it wasnt a good hire.
Eddy started working with the YMCA on Mar. 29, 2012, cleaning the Lake Wylie YMCA and unlocking the doors for employees. He typically reported to work at about 3 or 4 a.m., and only occasionally worked at the Gold Hill gym as a substitute.
Since his arrest, Eddy has been fired from his job and banned from all Upper Palmetto YMCA branches, Bell said. He also turned in the set of keys that gave him access to the two buildings.
Employees responsible for opening doors in the morning, or closing them at night, are usually given a set of master keys to the facilities theyre assigned to, Bell said.
Police have found no evidence showing that Eddy shared the recordings with any other people, or distributed them over the Internet, Bomar said. There is no indication that any of the recordings featured young girls or children.
This is strictly just adult females, Bomar said.
The women, who detectives have been unable to identify because of poor video quality, have all been labeled as Jane Doe. Arrest warrants list 40 Jane Does for the Lake Wylie facility, and 40 more for the Gold Hill location.
Efforts to reach Eddy were unsuccessful on Tuesday.

Grizzlies give Prince happy homecoming in Detroit
Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - Mike Conley scored 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting, while Zach Randolph registered a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds, as the Memphis Grizzlies used a critical second-quarter surge before cruising to a 105-91 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
Ed Davis had 14 points and Tony Allen and Quincy Pondexter each netted 10 for the Grizzlies, who have won four straight and five of their last seven contests overall.
Brandon Knight scored 13 points and pulled down five rebounds for the Pistons, who have lost two of their last three games. Jonas Jerebko came in late to donate 13 points on a perfect 5-of-5 shooting from the floor in the defeat, with Jose Calderon scoring 10 points and dishing out seven assists for Detroit.
Kyle Singler's running jumper four minutes into the second quarter made it 39-30 in favor of the Pistons, but Memphis quickly caught fire. Jerryd Bayless started a 23-3 flurry, and fittingly capped it off with a slam with 35 seconds remaining, to make it 53-42 at the break.
Detroit failed to score a basket in the final 4:12 of the first half, while the Grizzlies shook off the slow start to oustscore the home team 31-12 in the second session.
The visitors rode their momentum into the second half, as Conley extended the advantage to 18 points four minutes into the third quarter. The left-hander only missed one field goal in the quarter and finished with 13 points. Twice Conley extended the lead to 25 points -- each time with a triple -- before the Grizzlies closed the third stanza convincingly up, 84-60.
The Pistons trailed by 20 points or more for the majority of the fourth before Jerebko and other reserves made the contest more manageable in the final minutes of play.
It was the Pistons who came out looking to make a statement, as the team took a 30-22 lead after one quarter behind Knight's 10 points and 4-of-5 shooting effort.
Game Notes
Former Pistons standout Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye, the two players the Grizzlies acquired in the three-team trade with Toronto, finished with four and six points, respectively ... Prince was part of the Pistons' championship team in 2003-04 and played 10-plus seasons in Detroit ... Memphis shot 56.3 percent (45-of-80) from the floor ... Bayless finished with eight points and 10 assists ... The Grizzlies won the fast break battle, 24-12.

Production-ready CoaXPress-certified cameras
Adimec's latest OPAL series cameras support high-speed, long-length CoaXPress interface standard.
Adimec, a provider of application-specific, industrial camera solutions, has made production-ready cameras for use with the recently-ratified CoaXPress interface standard available. The company joins several other suppliers of machine vision and imaging equipment in offering solutions for the high-speed, long transmission length capabilities of the new standard.
The CoaXPress standard has been hosted by The Japan Industrial Imaging Association (JIIA), and Version 1.0 of its specification received overwhelming approval by the initiative's Working Group and Liaison Group at ITE 2010 in Yokohama, Japan. It is expected that the other two major industrial vision associations, AIA in North America and EMVA in Europe, will announce their support of CoaXPress at the Automate 2011 event, giving it a global stamp of approval.
Adimec's CoaXPress-compliant OPAL Series cameras will be demonstrated at Automate 2011 (March 21-24 in Chicago, Ill.). Adimec is working with suppliers of other image system products, such as frame grabber providers Bitflow, Inc., Aval Data, and Active Silicon, to enable complete CoaXPress systems.
"We are pleased to see the continued momentum behind CoaXPress, including the rapid emergence of commercial products based on the standard. As a camera supplier with a strategy of offering market-driven solutions, it is important that a strong ecosystem of support is available for CoaXPress as the specification is ratified and accepted by the major industry organizations," said Joost van Kuijk, Vice president Marketing and Technology, at Adimec. "Our OPAL series of cameras is the industry's first to offer support for CoaXPress, giving system developers more options for high-speed, long-length implementations of machine vision products. Our support for CoaXPress underscores our commitment to deliver flexible solutions for a wide variety of system requirements, from performance to cost to connectivity needs in any kind of environment."
CoaXPress is a digital interface specification that allows the transmission of high speed data from a device, for example a camera, to a host such as a frame grabber in a PC, at a high speed of up to 6.25Gbps over a single coax cable. The device need not be a single camera – it could, for example, be an interface device that concatenates data from several cameras – since CoaXPress has the ability to carry many channels of image data and meta-data. For communication from host to device, there is a 20Mbps "uplink" that allows for control and configuration data. For even higher speeds, links may be concatenated to provide multiples of the single coax bandwidth. Finally there is also power provided over the cable at 24V, up to 13W per cable.
In addition to the simplicity and availability benefits of using coax, CoaXPress works over relatively long cable lengths, depending on the precise cable type – up to 40m at 6.25Gbps and much further at lower speeds.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
