Here is my summer project. I ran out of time and money as usual. I still have to frame and install the skirting and "white" stain the under belly. I purchased the stain and a new sprayer to do it, and then it started to rain and got cold. GO figure. Oh well, i know what i will be doing in the spring, finishing this deck up and moving on to the pool deck to finish that one up.
Looks nice with the freshly powder coated furniture i added.
Here is a link for more pic's

What do you think?
The wife calls it the "Gothic Temple" I call it the Gazebo, but its more of a pavillion. Wife wanted a place out of the sun, away from the pool, so she wouldn't get splashed to watch the kids. I think this fits the bill. The ceiling fan was installed to keep the MIL happy and chase away them hot flashes.

"Beautifully made… a meditation on the transformative possibilities of a relationship."
– Stephen Holden, New York Times
"[Bertolucci] is still a force to be reckoned with."
– The Guardian
Bertolucci's first Italian-language feature in 32 years follows Lorenzo, a quirky 14-year-old loner who has difficult relationships with his parents and peers. Lorenzo decides to take a break from it all by hiding out in his building's neglected basement where for an entire week he will finally avoid all conflict and pressure to be a "normal" teenager. But an unexpected visit from Lorenzo's older half-sister Olivia changes everything. A worldly 25-year-old beauty, her problematic and fragile state upsets Lorenzo's total escape from reality, and their forced cohabitation in the basement's confined space brings forth confrontation and old resentments, but also a need for affection and intimacy. A few emotional days and nights with his sister Olivia will inspire Lorenzo to see the world through new eyes. Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Written by Niccolò Ammaniti, Umberto Contarello, Francesca Marciano and Bernardo, based on the novel "Io e Te," by Mr. Ammaniti. Director of photography: Fabio Cianchetti. With Jacopo Olmo Antinori, Tea Falco, Sonia Bergamasco, Veronica Lazar, Tommaso Ragno and Pippo Delbono. Not Rated. In Italian, with English subtitles. Running time: 97 mins.

& a special introduction by performance artist Jason Jenn, who will be performing an excerpt of his one man show ECSTASY FOR EVERYONE, inspired by the work of James Broughton.
A chronicle of the iconoclastic life of gay poet, filmmaker, and spiritual visionary James Broughton, one of the defining voices of the sexual revolution, whose groundbreaking artistic celebrations of sexuality and the body influenced generations of the 1960's and 70's to profoundly embrace life and 'follow your own weird'.
A charismatic and visionary poet and filmmaker who emerged in the artistic renaissance of post – WWII San Francisco, James Broughton led a completely unconventional existence in his lifelong quest for creative artistry, sexual and spiritual love and an evolved state of happiness. BIG JOY is a celebratory mosaic of Broughton's deeply intertwined creative and personal lives, vividly depicted through his involvement with a wide array of artists, activists and spiritual guides.
Directed by Eric Slade, Stephen Silha and Dawn Logsdon. USA. 2013. Digital. 82 mins.

In the hyper-charged powder keg of the late 1960s, Los Angeles native and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis was ready to light the match. Proudly black, loudly opinionated, ready to rumble and almost always high on one substance or another, Dock was considered the Muhammad Ali of the ballpark.
He made history on June 12, 1970, when he pitched a no-hitter while completely flying on LSD. Flash forward a few years, and he is broke and essentially unemployable. But Dock Ellis was a born fighter, whether battling a racist society, the baseball establishment or his own demons.
There are a lot of colorful characters in the story of this larger-than-life figure, and filmmaker Jeffrey Radice corrals colleagues, ex-wives, journalists, managers, children, gadflies and protégés to produce a balanced biography of Ellis with the generosity of spirit the man himself embraced in the last few decades of his life. No No: A Dockumentary is a lot of things: sports movie, redemption narrative and portrait of an era, but at its core it is quintessentially Dock.
Embroidering this indelible character study is a fantastic hard psychedelic funk score by Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys.

It is a 2014 Canadian mockumentary comedy/crime film directed by Mike Clattenburg, and based on the Canadian television series Trailer Park Boys. It is the third film in the Trailer Park Boys franchise, and a sequel to Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day (2009). In the film, Ricky (Robb Wells), Julian (John Paul Tremblay) and Bubbles (Mike Smith) attempt a series of get-rich-quick schemes after being released from prison, but are again pursued by former Sunnyvale Trailer Park supervisor Jim Lahey (John Dunsworth).
Recently out of jail and completely broke, Julian has a plan to get outrageously rich. However, he first has to deliver his product to Montreal where his rival Cyrus is waiting to close the deal. In the meantime, the government's plan to legalize marijuana threatens Ricky and his dope business, so he goes to Ottawa to take action against the impending bill. With Julian and Ricky on a road trip, Bubbles joins the pair with his own agenda – to go find the inheritance left for him by his long-lost parents. The trio runs into trouble when ex-park supervisor Jim Lahey and Randy go after the boys in hopes of making them rot in jail.
The film marks the final appearance of series regular Richard Collins (appearing in the film as Philadelphia "Phil" Collins), who died during filming. In addition to Collins, the film is also dedicated to series regular Brian Huggins (who played Shitty Bill in the television series), and country/folk singer Rita MacNeil.

God Help The Girl is a musical feature film, written and directed by Stuart Murdoch, lead singer of the group Belle and Sebastian. It was produced by Barry Mendel and stars Emily Browning, Olly Alexander and Hannah Murray.
Stuart aspired to tell the story of "a better summer, or at least a summer when something happened. It happened to a boy and a girl and a girl in a city roughly the same size and population of Glasgow. Perhaps the canals were a bit grimier, the high-rise buildings taller, the streets emptier when you needed them to be, and the beat clubs busier than the ones around here. But on the whole the city was this one."
According to Barry Mendel, "It's a simple story – about the brief moment after you've realised what you want to do with your life, before your dream settles into becoming your job, when you're filled with enthusiasm, meeting like-minded friends and the possibilities are endless."
The film was shot, edited, scored and mixed in Glasgow over the course of 2012-2013 and is be released in cinemas around the world in 2014.
Director: Stuart Murdoch, 111 min. 2014

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WDRB) – Bobby Petrino had an affair and then lied to his boss about it. He put his mistress on the University of Arkansas payroll. Put away the mascara. There is no way to make that look pretty, even eight months later.
Bobby Petrino changes jobs the way that I change sneakers. Western Kentucky athletic director Todd Stewart admitted that Petrino could use the Hilltoppers as his connecting flight to a grander destination in less than 12 months. He said that did not bother him.
Some WKU fans are already wondering if the school has dropkicked its moral compass. Stewart said he took calls from several angry fans Monday, the day he announced the Hilltoppers were hiring Petrino as the replacement for Willie Taggart as the school's next football coach. Most callers were supportive, but some were legitimately upset.
This is one we'll be debating for hours, days, weeks – until Petrino opens next season by beating Kentucky and/or Tennessee and later departs.
Did Petrino deserve a second chance? Sure, doesn't everybody? His wife, Becky, attended the press conference. That's the most important second chance in his life. Petrino admitted his mistakes again Monday, and said he planned to learn from them. The world will be watching.
But a second chance this soon? Reasonable people will fuss about that. Programs with more juice than Western decided hiring Petrino was not worth the inevitable public-relations blowback.
Is he here to embrace and elevate WKU football or simply to mend his image before Petrino races to his next job as soon as a more glamorous school calls?
Petrino will be with the Hilltoppers for two seasons max – unless he can find a way out of town after one. Petrino signed a four-year deal worth $850,000 per season. Inserting a $1.2 million buyout into the contract was the proper call, but that's barely tip money for the higher octane schools that will pursue Petrino after his image is repaired and his offense is making scoreboards tilt again. The man can really coach and develop players.
Is there any reason to believe that Petrino's time at WKU will end better than it ended at Arkansas (motorcycle crash/affair), the Atlanta Falcons (quit on his team) or the University of Louisville (flirted with Louisiana State, Florida, Notre Dame and others before moving to Atlanta)?
I don't know. Neither do you. Neither does Stewart, who said he called administrators (that he declined to name) at Arkansas, Louisville and with the Atlanta Falcons as part of his background check.
That is what makes this story so fascinating. That is why it was The Talk of college football Monday.
Hiring Petrino, a coach that Kentucky, Colorado, Purdue and other schools aching for football love would not touch, generated more publicity for Western Kentucky than the millions of dollars the school has spent on renovating its stadium, constructing its five-star weight and locker rooms and transforming itself from the Division I-AA national champions to a team booked for an FBS-level bowl game in two weeks.
If you believe any publicity is good publicity, as many in sports do, Western has already cashed in on its investment. This is the most national talk the Hilltoppers have inspired since Ty Rogers threw in that jump shot when Darrin Horn's final WKU basketball team beat Drake and eventually advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in the 2008 NCAA Tournament.
For a day, Western was bigger than Kentucky, bigger than Louisville, bigger than Tennessee, bigger than anybody. That's important at Western with a fan base that is often annoyed that UK and U of L suck all the oxygen from the room.
That's even more important to Western president Dr. Gary Ransdell. He missed the frenzied introductory press conference that overflowed with nearly 500 people Monday because he was traveling in China. Ransdell wants his legacy to include praise for making WKU the state's third FBS football program. Everything about this hire screamed Ransdell's name and ambition.
Bobby Petrino wanted a second chance to get to the big time. Western Kentucky wants a first chance to get to the big time. That's all that it took to inspire this strange marriage.
Take all the talk about redemption, character building and working with young men and stick it outside the room. One major college coach explained it to me like this Monday:
"Western Kentucky isn't selling cookbooks. They're selling seats. They have put a lot of money into that program and he's an instant impact hire for a school that wants to take the next step. They couldn't have made a splashier hire."
Sure, they could have – Nick Saban, Les Miles, Brian Kelly, Chip Kelly, Urban Meyer.
But those guys aren't going to WKU. They don't have to.
Petrino is their equal in coaching acumen and nearly their equal in name recognition. This is a guy who went 41-9 at Louisville while dominating Rich Brooks and UK four times at U of L. This is a coach who has won Liberty, Orange and Cotton Bowls.
This is a talented coach that WKU got for about 25 percent of what Petrino was making when he was going full speed at Arkansas last season – and then his motorcycle and career went off the road. Western bought low – and hopes for the best. There are risks, but not guarantees.
Now Bobby Petrino is getting another chance at Western Kentucky. Expect a short, but fascinating, ride.

Seen on Broadway
: Donna Murphy is not an actress. She is a shape-shifter, a chameleon, and, quite possibly, a sorceress. Over the years, she's turned up as a neurotic Italian spinster, a proper English governess, a sultry prostitute, a Eurasian adventuress, an amnesiac Amelia Earhart, and Helen of Troy. Each role has been accompanied by a total change of appearance. Once again, she is working her magic, this time as that all-American wisecracker Ruth Sherwood in the 1953 musical Wonderful Town, now at the Al Hirschfeld. Ruth and her sister Eileen, an innocent blonde bombshell, have come to New York, circa 1935, from Columbus, OH, to make it big in publishing and the theatre. On their first day, they end up in a ghastly Christopher Street basement apartment, which turns out to be a former brothel resting directly over a subway construction project. And that's just the beginning of their adventures. Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov's book, based on their 1941 play My Sister Eileen (and the short stories of Ruth McKenney), supplies plenty of Village eccentrics to complicate the girl's lives, but the real glory here is the restless, swinging score by Leonard Bernstein and the dryly witty lyrics of Betty Comden and Adolph Green.
And then there's Murphy, who lands laugh and after laugh with her deadpan Midwestern delivery. She's a physical comedian, too: Whether wrestling with a recalcitrant daybed, starring in fantasy sequences as a jaded Hemingway huntress and an ultra-pregnant tenement dweller, or fighting off the attentions a cadre of fun-loving Brazilian naval officers, she offers a master class is sophisticated slapstick. Doling out romance tips in "One Hundred Easy Ways to Lose a Man," subduing a street full of Village hepcats in "Swing," getting tossed into the air in "Conga!" and nailing the cockeyed melody of "Wrong Note Rag," she is the musical comedy girl of the moment. We have plenty of talented people appearing in Broadway musicals these days, but we have precious few clowns. Murphy is one of the best.

Murphy gets fine support from Jennifer Westfeldt as dizzy Eileen, for whom men "are only an escape," and Gregg Edelman as an editor who could be the man for Ruth. (I also loved Michael McGrath, cracking wise as a sleazy reporter with designs on Eileen.) Kathleen Marshall's choreography is stylish and amusing throughout, from the organized chaos of the opening number "Christopher Street" to the Riverdance-inspired steps in "Darlin' Eileen." As of yet, however, she's not nearly as skilled a director of book scenes, and the first part of Act I is flatter than it should be; by Act II, Marshall hits her stride. Much has been made of the fact that the production is nothing more than a glorified Encores! presentation, with the orchestra onstage, but, to my mind, the design works. John Lee Beatty's gilded skyline and transparent drops are gloriously lit by Peter Kaczorowski, whose use of heavily saturated colors turns the stage into a replica of those hand-tinted postcards so typical of the period. Martin Pakledinaz's costumes are colorful, detailed, and move beautifully with the dancers. Lew Mead's crystal-clear sound design is achieved using barely noticeable amplification; he also has lots of fun with the necessary effects, especially the explosions going off under the Sherwood girls' apartment. After a fall filled will bewildering musicals, Wonderful Town is a reassuring return to basics.
Anna in the Tropics, now at the Royale Theatre, unearths a fascinating piece of social history, but leaves the drama behind. Jimmy Smits is Juan Julian, a Cuban émigré who arrives in Tampa in 1929 to work as a lector at a cigar company, reading to the workers in order to distract them from their tedious, repetitive tasks. The courtly, stunningly handsome Juan Julian proves to be too provocative a presence for his own good, as he stirs up feelings of attraction, jealousy, and anger in women and men alike. Before long, he is deep in an adulterous affair with Conchita (Daphne Rubin-Vega), the owner's daughter, while her sister Marela (Vanessa Aspsillaga) pines for him. Meanwhile, Conchita's (John Ortiz) husband, Palomo, is both disturbed and aroused by his wife's affair, and Cheche (David Zayas), the owner's half-brother, whose wife ran off with the previous lector, wants to get rid of Juan Julian as part of a plan to modernize the factory. It's a promising dramatic situation, but it takes all of Act I to get going, and, under Emily Mann's rather austere direction, a palpable atmosphere of pent-up passion is never really achieved. Cruz's writing strains pretty hard for lyricism with lines with "I detect sad trees in your eyes when we make love." Offsetting these weaknesses is a strong cast, particularly Priscilla Lopez as the take-charge wife of the owner (Victor Argo).
There have been complaints in the press about Robert Brill's setting, which is dominated by a wooden wall; I hear that, in its previous engagement at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, Brill's work was more effectively claustrophobic. At the Royale, it has been opened up, with the addition of a sky drop, a decision that may have diluted the production's impact (then again, the Royale is three times the size of the McCarter space, so Brill had to do something). Nevertheless, Anita Yavich's costumes, with their largely white palette and Art Deco touches, are lovely, and Peter Kaczorowski's lighting goes a long, long way to developing an atmosphere of heat and haze. Dan Moses Schreier's sound design uses lots of Cuban music and provides an eerily reverberating shotgun noise during the play's shocking climax. Anna in the Tropics won this year's Pulitzer Prize; the award may have placed an unfair burden of expectations on a work whose pleasures must be carefully tended to be brought to life. --David Barbour
Seen at the Movies: Edward Zwick's The Last Samurai is a beautifully produced, mixed-up movie about the conflict between Eastern and Western codes of honor in 19th-century Japan. Not surprisingly, the East comes out morally if not literally on top, and also not surprisingly, it takes Tom Cruise to clarify the victory. Cruise plays disillusioned Union soldier and Indian fighter Nathan Algren, who is revived from his drunken debauchery long enough to be dispatched to Tokyo, where he is meant to train the Emperor's army to vanquish a recalcitrant, archaic samurai warrior force. Instead, Algren is captured by the samurai and taken to their mountain village, where he is held, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers-style, until the winter snows melt. At the end of his sojourn, Algren is just as willing a blushing bride as the captives in the earlier film, and trades in his army uniform for a fabulous-looking suit of samurai armor.

The Last Samurai is an easy movie to make fun of, but it's mainly ridiculous in retrospect rather than in the watching. (The film is also, I'd imagine, going to be a big hit.) There's a pleasing old-fashioned quality to the moviecraft, with big sets designed by Lilly Kilvert filled out by traditional matte paintings, and lots of lovely kimonos designed by Ngila Dickson in which to luxuriate. The film's exteriors were largely shot in New Zealand, where a photogenic (and remote) location was found in which to construct the samurai village; side trips to Hollywood and Japan itself fill in the blanks. Zwick directs the battle scenes with as much ruthless effectiveness as he did comparable sequences in Glory, and DP John Toll pulls off some haunting shots, like the first appearance of the samurai out of the fog. Acting honors go to Ken Watanabe, who projects a paradoxically gentle gravity as fierce samurai chief Katsumoto. But by the end, it's impossible to escape the notion that The Last Samurai's main reason for being is to give Tom Cruise the opportunity to play samurai dress-up.
Billy Bob Thornton in Santa drag is a more satisfyingly unsavory sight, but that's not enough cause to recommend Terry Zwigoff's Bad Santa. I was really pumped for this movie, which promised to be a hilariously profane skewering of a holiday season sacred cow. And except for that key adverbial qualification, indeed it is. Zwigoff, who directed Ghost World and the great documentary Crumb doesn't have the knack for this kind of rude knockabout comedy; his pacing and timing are listless, which delivers a lethal blow to the film's humor. Consequently, the relentless nastiness—which includes borderline abusive treatment of a corpulent child actor—is just depressing. Some of Wendy Chuck's soiled Santa suits, and elfin costumes for Thornton's diminutive cohort Tony Cox, are amusing. Otherwise, Bad Santa, which is photographed by Jamie Anderson and designed by Sharon Seymour, has a bland look that makes it seem an even glummer experience than it is.

Those fans yearning for a new Omar Sharif movie should check out Monsieur Ibrahim, in which the 70-something former matinee idol plays a Muslim storekeeper who befriends a motherless Jewish boy in 1960s Paris. This why-can't-we-all-get-along scenario is predictable but not as sticky as it sounds, and the movie is lovingly crafted and shot by director Francois Dupeyron and DP Rémy Chevrin, while the period and the shabby Paris neighborhood are evocatively represented by production designer Katia Wyszkop and costume designer Catherine Bouchard. A weird bonus: One scene depicts the filming of Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt, with Isabelle Adjani contributing an unlikely cameo as Brigitte Bardot.--John Calhoun.

Seen Off Broadway: Tony Kushner tries a musical in Caroline, or Change, now at the Public Theatre, with results that are nearly indescribable. You know you're in trouble when the cast list includes characters named The Washing Machine, The Radio, The Dryer, The Moon, and The Bus (The excellent Chuck Cooper has a demanding dual role—he plays both The Dryer and The Bus). Tonya Pinkins is the title character, a black maid working for a Jewish family in Louisiana; the year is 1963. The change of the title is social: Kennedy is dead and Caroline doesn't want to hear about civil rights marches or Martin Luther King. However, the change of the title is literal, as well: Noah Gellman (Harrison Chad), the family's eight-year-old son, leaves his change in his clothes, and his stepmother, Rose (Veanne Cox), decides that Caroline should be allowed to keep it. That's pretty much it for plot; Noah misses his late mother, his father Stuart (David Costabile) grieves, Rose worries that she's failing, and Caroline's daughter Emmie (Anika Noni Rose) hates her mother's servile position. And of course, The Washing Machine, The Radio, The Dryer, The Moon, and The Bus all weigh in from time to time. You've probably guessed that Caroline, or Change is a terribly earnest, deeply symbolic effort. But everything that's interesting about this story is pushed to the margins as Jeanine Tesori's score drones on, and Kushner harps on the same point over and over. Furthermore, there's no real relationship between Noah and Caroline—their only daily contact comes when he lights her single cigarette—and, as a result, the story is dramatically inert. It doesn't help George C. Wolfe's staging is so flat, either.

Riccardo Hernandez' scenery places small units in a black void, with a few changing backdrops; the result is drab and empty-looking, lacking in a specific sense of place. Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer's lighting is generally solid, and they achieve a few nice effects with the Moon's set unit, creating some mirrorball effects to back it up. Paul Tazewell's costumes are typically first rate, including some nice early-60s dresses for a scene at a Hanukah party; he also creates some strikingly original garb for the inanimate objects—as the Washer, Capathia Jenkins is dressed in an evening gown made of wet laundry. Jon Weston's sound design provides very discreet amplification. Pinkins is excellent throughout, vividly evoking her character's unspoken feelings and singing as if her life depended on it. Cox works hard and the rest of the cast is totally solid. There's some rich dramatic material here—until now, only Alfred Uhry has explored the role of the Jews in the South and their relationship to the Civil Rights movement—but it is obscured by the overall pretentiousness. Even as Kushner's television adaptation of Angels in America has earned so much acclaim, Caroline exposes the high-mindedness that often mars his work; it's another lengthy, uplifting lecture on social issues.
I've never read William Wharton's acclaimed novel Birdy, so I have no idea how faithful Naomi Wallace's stage adaptation is. But what comes across in Lisa Peterson's staging at Women's Project and Productions is how much the script resembles those potboiler psychological melodramas of the 70s and 80s like Equus and Agnes of God. Sargeant Al Columbato is a troubled young army NCO with a hair-trigger temper; it's right after World War II and he's been transferred to a military mental hospital—not for his own problems, which are many, but because Doctor White, a psychiatrist, believes that Al can help get through to his boyhood friend, Birdy, who is catatonic. In flashbacks, we learn that Birdy always kept dozens of birds in his bedroom and experimented, none too successfully, with flight. Even as Al talks to Birdy, Dr. White probes Al about his abused childhood and the exact nature of the boys' friendship. The writing strains for lyricism and Birdy's avian obsession is hard to understand; after a while, it seems to be just a fancy way of writing about sublimated homosexual feelings. The climax, in which Al apparently talks Birdy out of psychosis, is pretty silly. Anyway, the cast is very strong, especially Zachary Knighton and Peter Stadlen as the young Al and Birdy, and Teagle F. Bougere as a conscientious objector who works as a nurse in the hospital. Riccardo Hernandez' spare setting cleverly evokes a cage, a set of railroad tracks, and a mental institution by the simplest of means and is beautifully lit by Scott Zielinski using a virtually no color at all. Gabriel Berry's fine period costumes work well within both of the play's time frames. Sound designer Jill B. C. DuBoff does some of her best work here, blending music and effects (including bird noises and the flapping of wings) to notable effect. Birdy isn't dull, but it is both overly sincere and more than a little hokey.--DB

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (BP) -- Christians use lots of quotes. Pastors use them in their sermons constantly. Writers illustrate their points with them. Nothing wrong with that. They are quite helpful and encouraging in making a point.
Save when the quote has no basis in fact.
We as evangelicals who claim we are committed to truth are certainly good at spreading falsehood, even if unintentionally. We can do better.
One very clever and popular quote we often knock around among ourselves is:
"Preach the Gospel at all times. When necessary, use words."
It is always attributed to St. Francis of Assisi -- founder of the Franciscan Order -- and is intended to say that proclaiming the Gospel by example is more virtuous than actually proclaiming with voice. It is a quote that has often rankled me because it seems to create a useless dichotomy between speech and action. Besides, the spirit behind it can be a little arrogant, intimating that those who "practice the Gospel" are more faithful to the faith than those who preach it.
But here's the fact: Our good Francis, who lived in the 13th century, never said such a thing.
None of his disciples, early or later biographers have these words coming from his mouth. It doesn't show up in any of his writings. Not even close, really. The closest comes from his Rule of 1221, Chapter XII on how the Franciscans should practice their preaching:
"No brother should preach contrary to the form and regulations of the holy Church nor unless he has been permitted by his minister. ... All the Friars ... should preach by their deeds."
Essentially, make sure your deeds match your words. While there's a nice and good sentiment in the statement -- be sure you live out the grace and truth of the Gospel -- the notion as it is typically presented is neither practical, nor faithful to the Gospel of Christ. It does not align with St. Francis' own practice.
His first biographer, Thomas of Celeno, writing just three years after Francis' death, quotes him instructing his co-workers in the Gospel thusly, "The preacher must first draw from secret prayers what he will later pour out in holy sermons; he must first grow hot within before he speaks words that are in themselves cold."
Mark Galli, senior managing editor at Christianity Today, wrote a wonderful book on Francis as well as a clarifying brief article at ChristianityToday.com on the myth of this quote. He explains that Francis was quite a preacher, actually more along the lines of Jonathan Edwards or Billy Sunday than most of those who misquote him would like to think. Galli quotes Thomas' biography, "His words were neither hollow nor ridiculous, but filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, penetrating the marrow of the heart, so that listeners were turned to great amazement."
Our man clearly spent a great deal of time using his words when he preached, "sometimes preaching in up to five villages a day, often outdoors," Galli wrote. "In the country, Francis often spoke from a bale of straw or a granary doorway. In town, he would climb on a box or up steps in a public building. He preached to ... any who gathered to hear the strange but fiery little preacher from Assisi." He was sometimes so animated and passionate in his delivery that "his feet moved as if he were dancing."
Duane Liftin, president emeritus of Wheaton College, recently addressed the trouble with this preach/practice dichotomy in an important article at ChristianityToday.com ("Works and Words: Why You Can't Preach the Gospel with Deeds"). Of preaching the Gospel in deed, he explains, "It's simply impossible to preach the Gospel without words. The Gospel is inherently verbal, and preaching the Gospel is inherently verbal behavior."
And the "deed" proclamation of the Gospel is not biblical, either. Paul asks the Church at Rome (Romans 10): "How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?"
So next time you hear one of your brothers or sisters in Christ use this quote to encourage or challenge you in your labors for our faith, gently guide them from the land of misinformation and make believe into truth.

Since Apple launched the iPhone 5, the new iPad and the iPad mini, we haven't seen a ton of add-on products—you know, the ones with the Lightning connector. Of course, there are a few out there, but it hasn't been the flood like what we've seen in the past.
That's good for Phillips, who is swooping in to claim a portion of that market with its new Urban Micro System (DCM3155). Designed to fit almost anywhere, this all-in-one audio system works with Apple's new lightning connector.
Other features include a CD player, FM radio, and up to 550-watts RMS of power. It also looks really cool, which makes sense since it's helming a line of other smaller Lightning-capable docks.
There's no other word on the model, including any pricing info. However, Philips does plan to start selling the DCM3155 sometime this month.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) -- Matt Flynn says it was made completely clear before he agreed to join the Seattle Seahawks that he was going into an open competition with incumbent Tarvaris Jackson for the starting quarterback job.
Flynn said during a conference call on Monday that when he visited with the Seahawks late last week, the entire situation felt comfortable and felt like the team was moving in the right direction. Flynn chose the Pacific Northwest over the chance to be reunited with former Green Bay offensive coordinator Joe Philbin in Miami, where Philbin is the Dolphins' new head coach.
Flynn agreed to a three-year deal with the Seahawks on Sunday.

International Trade News
The second-quarter recovery that gave air and ocean cargo such a welcome boost looks set to continue its momentum well into the second half as the latest economic and freight indicators show some positive numbers.
The 13 ports owned by the national government in India are "wilting under the onslaught of competition from new private ports," being way behind in areas like dredging and losing substantial market share over the past 20 years, according to LiveMint, a financial news service.
The Indian federal government has approved a proposal to delegate more project approval authority to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in a bid to minimize delays in awarding of concession contracts.
Growing global demand for bourbon, a solely U.S. produced liquor, is giving U.S. East Coast ports a sweet, down-home surge in containerized cargo.
The value of total trade and exports moving through U.S. foreign-trade zones last year hit record highs, reflecting exporter and retailers' increased of the hubs.
Canadian export growth is slated to rise to 4.7 percent this year and 7.7 percent in 2015, as global and particularly U.S. demand builds, non-energy shipments rise, and the Canadian dollar weakens, according to the Royal Bank of Canada.
Shipping a container from India can cost nearly double what it costs to ship the same container from China, according to a report from the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India.
Port San Antonio named a new president and CEO on Aug. 25, tapping a 25-year economic development veteran to lead the inland industrial development agency.
Containerized furniture imports into the United States saw growth in the first half of 2014, as a strong number of shipments in the second quarter offset weak volumes in the first quarter.
Containerized footwear imports into the United States plummeted in the first half of 2014, although the industry is optimistic sales will pick up in the second half of the year.

Springfield has been awarded nearly $1 million to help fight crime in the city.
The Executive Office of Public Safety and Security announced that the city has been awarded the Shannon grant, which will go towards the C3 initiative in the North End.
The funding means that these streets in the North End will continue to see the changes that residents have been wanting to see for so long.
"You can see the difference. It's wonderful that the kids are behaving and everything we're trying to do to help these kids make it happen," said President of the New North Citizen's Council Jose Claudio.
Claudio is one of the many trying to transform the North End.
He says with the help of the $714,000 Shannon grant, the innovative C3 policing unit, a joint force between state and local police, will continue to grow.
The funding from the state will allow for more overtime and programming for kids trying to get out of the gang lifestyle.
"It's wonderful to have this approved grant for the city and for us, especially, so we can make a difference in the neighborhoods and in the whole area of Springfield," Claudio said.
Since the C3 unit began targeting crime in the North End by partnering with the community and people like Claudio, crime has been cut by 68 percent.
Now with continued funding by the Shannon grant, which targets communities with youth gang problems that are working to end it, Claudio says he's more hopeful than ever for the future of his neighborhood.
"Especially the Springfield police because they do have a hard job and they need all the help they can get," he said.
Springfield also received funding from the Shannon grant last year, but this year they got a nearly $70,000 increase to continue cutting crime in the city.

Yep start with the lenses as those are the "eyes" of the camera. Oh darn. Most of the Nikon lenses are out of stock!
I strongly believe that any aspiring professional photographer starting out should look to lenses FIRST than bodies when looking. Bodies represent technology so we'd be always talking about them and whats the latest. For the FL i am most interested in: general purpose - 24-105 (and the new 24-70II), Macro - 100mmf2.8L IS, General Zoom 70-200 F2.8II, Birding/nature and Sports 400, 500 and 600 IIs, Portraits and other low light F1.2 50mm and 85mm Canon RULES the competition unquestionably!! For Wide and Fish Eye apps like landscape etc, Nikon may be better. But in the vast majority of applications Nikon does not measure up, Especially the 70-200 and the telephotos, the Canadian wedding photographers really showed the superiority of canon in this area and I really love this lens it shines, and i think most of you with the F4 version really haven't a clue what your missing. This is more important than a body that will change next year.

Canadiens Price and Diaz put their skills to the test against the rest of the 2012 NHL All-Stars.
According to a report from ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, it appears the NHL's Heritage Classic is once again on the back burner The report states that the Heritage Classic may return for 2012-13 and that the Winter Classic remains on the league's schedule. During the post-game press conference, following this past February's game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Calgary Flames, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman noted that no plans had been made for the following season. Bettman also noted the monumental task of staging three major league events - The HC, All-Star Game and Winter Classic.- all falling within a two month time period. The Heritage Classic has only been staged twice, the first time in 2005 when the Edmonton Oilers hosted the Canadiens. The league could be looking at it from a logistical stage, but one of the biggest complaints from most at this year's Heritage Classic was the ice conditions. Something that has been mentioned by several people is to stage the All-Star Game outdoors in feasible NHL cities, where ice conditions would be a non-factor in a meaningless game. The Toronto Maple Leafs were considered front-runners for the next outdoor game in Canada, but it appears the Philadelphia Flyers will host the New York Rangers in the 2012 Winter Classic. No Canadian franchises have hosted or played in any Winter Classics since their inception. There is of course another justification for this. With next season's All-Star Game will be held in Ottawa, the Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg, and the Vancouver Canucks on the brink of claiming a Stanley Cup, maybe Bettman & co. feel Canada has had enough in the last two years.
A pre-game tale of the tape for the 2011 NHL All-Star Game.

Blogging Career or Routine Job – A Blogger's Choice

Just like any other blogger, you had a dream to make it one day….yes, get your efforts counted in terms of monetary benefits. You saw it as quite difficult in the beginning and at some stage…you thought it was quite impossible! but still then you never lost your hope. You kept on working like anything.
You kept on adding posts, placing right ads at right places, getting much needed traffic and slowly but surely…it began to show off. Yes, it must have been a happiest moment in your life when you would have seen the first dollars of your hardwork. You were thinking it impossible but it was never to be. You have been rewarded finally for your hardwork and more importantly, your patience. Its time to rejoice and hope for the best. Yes, hope against hopelessness, we all have to think the same way. You also did the same. And now you are reaping the benefits.You were happy with the initial results but never satisfied. You wanted more and more. And so, you continued with your efforts. You got everything spot on…be it google adsense, amazon affiliate, adbrite, chitika, widgetbucks, free ad spaces, sponsored tweets, etc…
You tried every bit from your side to market your blog. And you did it successfully well. You wrote paid reviews, placed paid text links, attracted more and more advertisers by working on your Google Page Rank and Alexa both. Yes, you did everything you could.And now, you are making helluva money online. Thought not near to 6 figures mark but still enough to make you happy and satisfied. Now, the big question comes? You know you really enjoy it like anything and now, it has finally become an income stream for you. It was a dream once and now you can see it happen in reality for you. You are in 7th heaven…to be honest. You have found an end to all your worries. But wait..
Blogging is one of the finest mediums to generate passive money online. But have you ever thought of making it as a career choice? Or let me ask – Are you happy with your 9 to 5 job? I guess most of us would disagree to this thing. Even I am not happy with my 9 to 5 job. But I have to as I never thought of making blogging as my career choice. There were many reasons for the same. The most important reason for the same was the lack of will. Yes, I lacked it like anything. At any point of my blogging, I was never ever serious about making money online. Instead…I enjoyed writing and expressing myself. I know it was quite foolish to have everything with you and yet nothing. Also, I was gripped with many questions like -
- Can blogging really be a better career choice ?
- Blogging can be a great source of passive income but is it big enough to make me think it as a great career opportunity ?
- Can blogging give me consistent results with the income generated online?
- Can blogging give me a growth in my life?
- Can blogging make me independent ?
- Is it necessary to be a full time blogger to reap the financial benefits ?
- Professional Blogging or Personal Blogging – Can I do it with anyone ?
Now, how about you? Do these questions bother you too? Have you decided to make blogging as you career choice? Are you ready to quit your 9 to 5 job just because you are making it much better and say, big with this blogging thing? Do you go by your own instincts or you get influenced by others who have done it and are still doing it successfully well ?
Please have your say…
Hi Aswani, Very interesting and thought provoking post.
Fortunately for me, I don't need to make the decision of leaving my 9-5 job. I've paid my dues by working full time for over 40 years and now I'm retired. Now I'm able to blog without any pressure and that makes it very enjoyable…even a little profitable at times.
For those who want to make a career as a blogger, it can be done but it's extremely difficult. There are less than 5% that make any significant income as bloggers. I'm not saying it can't be done but it takes loads of hard work, the proper mindset, persistence, patience and the ability to press on when the going gets tough.
I think you have what it takes so never give up. Do it part time until you reach a level of consistent income that you are comfortable with. Then you can tell your boss to take the job and #&*^@$
To your great and ongoing success!!
Awesome post Aswani to take blogging as career you need to be persistent and stick to your plans and i agree to what Robert has said. I myself have thought a lot of times to quit blogging.
If you want a career in blogging then you need to have an attitude of NEVER GIVE UP.
Your post will b quite useful to newbies in blogging.Thanks for sharing.
Awesome Aswani as usual! Here's my answer to your question:
1. Can blogging really be a better career choice ? Yes, if you work on daily basis.
2. Blogging can be a great source of passive income but is it big enough to make me think it as a great career opportunity ? Yes, if you build multiple blogs, on different profitable niches.
3. Can blogging give me consistent results with the income generated online? Yes, a lot of blogger like Jhon Chow, Darren Rows are the real proof that that is possible.
4. Can blogging give me a growth in my life? The better improvement in your life is that blogging give you the freedom.
5. Is it necessary to be a full time blogger to reap the financial benefits ? If you want to make money quickly my answer is yes.
6. Professional Blogging or Personal Blogging – Can I do it with anyone ? In my view, you can make money with both.
Have a nice day my best friend
P:S: excuse for duplicated comment, I have forgot my name.
Get real bro' & stick to your" 9 to 5″ routine. That's the advice i would like to give to young people. As you move on in life, you've got bills and more bills to pay and maybe a few mouths to feed. I'm in complete agreement with Robert above. And if you still have some bit of time to spare, then you may engage yourself in blogging for money or whatever you call it….as a secondary income on a part time basis. But if money is not the issue since you may be in line to inherit somebody's millions, then just don't turn up in yr usual "9 to 5″ office and just blog yourself away…..i'm almost thinking of embarking upon that journey myself but then again i haven't heard anything about my inheritance as yet….so it's blogging on a pastime basis only for me…
Yes bro..9 to 5..I think I am doing better with it though it is getting very boring these days
Blogging is where I find myself more committed but then its true that what we enjoy may not always be profiting as compared to what we are sure to get from a routine job. Exceptions do prevail *DONT_KNOW*
never did consider blogging as a career and thus have not thought of it as a choice. I fortunately do not have a 9 – 5 job as I manage my own business and this pretty much gives me the flexibility I need. In my opinion, unless you are really in to blogging for money, I seriously believe that you should make this as an EXTRA form of earning income and not replace it with your day job (if you have one, lol). Great post Aswani

---- — POTSDAM — It has been quite some time since the Plattsburgh State volleyball team has made this much noise in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC). To be precise, no Plattsburgh State squad since the 2003 edition has managed to earn more than three conference victories in a single season.
That particular streak came to an end on Saturday afternoon in Potsdam when the Cardinals (11-12, 4-2 SUNYAC) continued to prove that they are a team on the rise after triumphs over former SUNYAC unbeaten SUNY Potsdam and long-time rival Oswego State.
There were few things the Cardinals didn't do extremely well as Plattsburgh State handed the host Bears (12-11, 4-1 SUNYAC) their first SUNYAC setback of the 2013 campaign. Through the course of the five-set thriller, Plattsburgh State hit an efficient .418 as a team and held a 10-2 blocking advantage over their North Country rivals.
Much like what transpired on Friday evening, the Cardinals spent the first set trying to identify the weak points in their opponents' offensive and defensive schemes. Although the SUNY Potsdam hit .353 to emerge victorious in the first set via a 25-21 tally, Plattsburgh State was able to figure out exactly how to give the Bears fits for the rest of the match.
A shored-up defensive game plan helped the Cardinals limit the Bears to a .185 attack percentage in the second set.
Plattsburgh State's offense came to life as well, helping the Cardinals knot the match at one set each thanks to a 25-19 score.
SUNY Potsdam came away with their final victory of the match when they took a 2-1 lead thanks to a 25-20 third set. From there, Plattsburgh State relied on the tandem of Rosi Cummings and Laura Diehl to come back and earn their third SUNYAC victory of the season.
Cummings hammered down a match-high 18 kills on just 35 swings and completed yet another double-double with a team-high 17 digs. The most efficient player on the floor, Diehl added another 14 terminations for the Cardinals while hitting a match-high .737. The towering sophomore out of Manorville, N.Y., also added three solo blocks and a quartet of block assists.
In addition to Cummings, Maggie Schrantz (17), Amanda Wickers (16) and Meghan Clifford (11) also finished the match with double-digit dig numbers. Kristen Marchisotto passed out 27 assists for the Cardinals while Clifford added 21 more.
SUNYAC standout Jenna Blujus recorded a triple-double of 13 kills, 24 assists and 23 digs for the Bears in the losing effort. SUNY Potsdam did record nine service aces compared to just four by the Cardinals, but hit .207 as a team.
Continuing their extraordinary efforts from the first match, Diehl and Cummings made things miserable for Oswego State (14-11, 1-5 SUNYAC) all match long, and the Cardinals took a 3-1 decision over the Lakers to finish the first three-match SUNYAC winning streak for Plattsburgh State since the 2002 campaign.
Continuing their weekend trend, Plattsburgh State fell behind early as Oswego State took a 26-24 decision in the first set. After that setback, though, the Cardinals reeled off three consecutive set victories to grab the win.
Diehl was nearly unstoppable for Plattsburgh State, finishing with 17 kills and no attack errors on 19 attempts. Her hitting percentage of .895 was a match high and the sophomore added another four solo blocks and one block assist to the Plattsburgh State cause. Cummings complimented the efforts of Diehl with 12 terminations of her own and a .550 hitting percentage.
Clifford was the main distributor for the Cardinals in their second match of the day, finishing with a match-high 29 assists while Marchisotto added 19. In addition to her passing game, Clifford added four of the six Plattsburgh State service aces during the match. Braun totaled four block assists and a solo block for the Cardinals who amassed 10 blocks during the four-set bout.
As a team, Plattsburgh State hit .500 and limited the Lakers to a mark of .132. Emma Moriarty (13) and Sabrina Sutton (12) led Oswego State in kills.
Plattsburgh State will enjoy a break of 13 days before their next slate of matches commences. The Cardinals will set their sights on the remaining three SUNYAC matches, and will try to make it to the SUNYAC Championship Tournament for the first time since the 2003 campaign. On Friday, October 25, Plattsburgh State will head to Geneseo to face off against Fredonia State at 5 p.m. in their final SUNYAC Pool Play weekend of the season.

Officials broke ground in Florence on Tuesday for the site of a new, year-round farmer's market.
The new public market will be called 'The Friendly Market of Northern Kentucky', similar to Cincinnati's Findlay Market.
Developers of the facility say shoppers will enjoy a dozen indoor merchants selling fresh, local goods, plus outdoor stalls for a seasonal farmer's market.
The future site will be located in Florence, at the 178 exit (Mt. Zion Road), just off I-75.
The Friendly Market is expected to open in the spring of 2013.

Three of the five generations old enough to vote are 50+ (the only exception being the very youngest of the boomers). The others are Generation X, made up of those born from 1965 to 1980, and the Millennial Generation, made up of those born after 1980.

The U.S. population is becoming more diverse generation by generation, reflecting the nation's changing racial and ethnic makeup. The progression of change can be seen across the five generations shown in this chart, including the three generations that include all 50+ Americans.

Households headed by older Americans controlled roughly two-thirds of the nation's assets at the time of the last official count, and some experts believe their share of the national wealth has increased in the time since.

While statistics on political contributions by age are hard to come by, the few on-point studies available show that older Americans account for the largest share of contributions in presidential and congressional campaigns. In the 2000 presidential election, for example, 50-plus adults made more than two-thirds of all contributions of $200 or more.

Social Security was not intended to be the sole source of income for the nation's retirees. But over the years it's become a vital source of income for Americans 65 and older — so much so that it kept 36 percent of them (almost 14 million) out of poverty in 2009.

It's all about life expectancy. On average, women in the United States live five years longer than men, though the gap in life expectancy has been narrowing. That's why women make up an increasingly larger share of America's 50-plus population as you move up the age scale.

Medical college admission tests (MCAT)
The Medical College Admissions Test is required by all but two American medical schools (Johns Hopkins and University of Rochester do not). Subject areas covered on the MCAT include: Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences, Verbal Reasoning and a Writing Sample. The Writing Sample consists of two, half-hour essays on various topics. The essay section is assigned a letter score ranging from J (lowest) to T (highest). Performance on the other sections is rated on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 15 (highest).
The MCAT must be completed at least one year in advance of anticipated admission to medical school. Most students planning to enroll immediately after graduation take the MCAT in April, May, June or July of their junior year (preferred) or in August prior to the start of their senior year.
Taking the test in the spring of the junior year allows the student a second chance in August if the initial scores are not competitive (if you do not perform well on the test, you should consider retaking it). Taking the test in spring and early summer also allows for an earlier decision by the medical schools. Because medical school admission committees utilize a rolling admission process, an August test does not allow your application to be considered as early as possible. However, the primary consideration is a strong performance. Schedule the test when you are the best prepared for it. In either case, begin submitting your application materials as soon as possible after June 1.
To register and learn more about the MCAT go to: http://www.aamc.org/students/mcat/start.htm.
Students who have had difficulty on standardized tests or would like a more structured approach to preparation may wish to take a commercial prep course such as Stanley Kaplan Educational Center or Princeton Review. The Kaplan course is conducted on the Connecticut College campus at various times throughout the school year. Contact Kaplan at 1-800-kaptest or kaptest.com for further information. Tuition discounts are available at Kaplan for students who can demonstrate financial need.
