text: Dear Friends in Christ,Serving as Bishop of Buffalo for more than a year now, I have seen firsthand how Christ the King Seminary strengthens our diocese as our local center for faith formation and evangelization. As a long-time educator, I have always had a special affinity for seminaries and higher theological education. I must say how truly impressed I am with the caliber of students, faculty and programs at Christ the King. It is, therefore, my pleasure to present to you this annual report for Christ the King Seminary, on behalf of the entire Board of Trustees. In this report you will read about the Seminary's successes over the past year and learn about new programs and initiatives aimed at strengthening our diocese, our Seminary and our parishes for the future.As examples, the Seminary recently completed an arduous reaccreditation process and I offer my sincere thanks to all those involved for their hard work. The Seminary is also playing a key role in helping to develop the new parish administrator ministry in the diocese. This ministry will tap the skills and talents of deacons, religious or lay persons in certain parishes to provide pastoral leadership in collaboration with priests.I have received such a warm welcome from the people in the Diocese of Buffalo since arriving last year and I am grateful for your support. I have met so many faithful who share my belief in how critically important the Seminary is to our diocese. It is my hope that everyone in our Catholic faith community will recognize that importance and join us in strengthening the Seminary in whatever ways possible. Lend support. Take a course. Pay a visit. Together, we can work to ensure that our Seminary and our diocese continue to grow stronger as vital communities of faith, ministry and evangelization.Yours sincerely in Christ, +Most Reverend Richard J. Malone Bishop of Buffalo Chairman, Board of Trustees

"Most children, especially young children, have very good regulatory capacity on their caloric intake," says Samantha Miller, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist with the Child Mind Institute who specializes in child and adolescent behavior disorders. Children grow quickly, Dr. Miller adds, and a lot is going on with their brain, body, and hormones, which can cause appetite to fluctuate.
Food is fuel for growth, and when they're hungry, they should be offered a healthy snack. "Most children don't need someone to impose a regulatory schedule on [snacking], and doing so could result in a power struggle for most typically developing children."
There is a minority of the population, however, that struggles with emotional and behavioral disorders, and these can be tied to food. "Parents need to monitor that their child is not eating emotionally, that his snacking pattern is not tied to an emotional state," Dr. Miller explains. If a child becomes upset, angry, irritable, or sad and then wants a snack, and this is a pattern seen over time, it could be a red flag that something else is going on.
"The potential is that the child is trying to soothe with food," Dr. Miller says. She goes on to warn that parents can unintentionally shape this behavior in their children. "When children become wildly upset, what is being paired with that in their emotional environment? [Are the parents saying] 'Let's have a cookie' or distracting them with food?" Over time, a pattern like that could potentially lead to some unhealthy habits and an unhealthy dynamic around food, she says.
Another thing to look out for is if your child is constantly seeking out one food group, like sugary foods, even when you're offering her a wide variety. After ruling out a nutritional deficiency, Dr. Miller says, "I would look at how the food functions in relationships with others." The child could be trying to regulate his emotions with sweets or fried foods because these are comforting in some way.
Still, Dr. Miller says it's okay to give kids snacks as a reward or to keep them quiet. "Most of us are physiologically hardy, so in most children this strategy is perfectly fine," she explains. Parents should be conscious of risk factors for emotional disorders, though, such as a family history of depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, or substance abuse. "The analogy I use with parents is skin conditions," Dr. Miller says. "If there's a family history of basal cell carcinoma, don't take your child out in the sun without sunscreen. I would argue the same thing about emotional disorders and food—don't be weird around food, but know your family history, and be careful."
If you notice an unhealthy pattern around your child's snacking, and especially if there's a family history of emotional disorders, it's best to err on the side of caution. "It might be nothing. But I would encourage parents to call a child psychologist the way they would call a pediatrician when their kid has a stomachache. A child's emotional health is just as important as her physical health."

Is The Atlantic Right About There Being a Third Phase of the Asexuality Movement?
- Details
- Category: Cake Recipes
- Published on Wednesday, 04 April 2012 15:46
- Written by Lara Landis
- Hits: 526
A recent Atlantic article suggested that the Asexual movement is moving into the third phase. It did not clearly specify what those first two phases were, although they were coalescing and spreading awareness about the condition. The idea of a third phase was found in the words of David Jay, the founder of the Asexual Visibility and Education Network. According to Jay, the new phase is getting people to rethink what it means to have a normal sex drive and a normal sex life.
The article does not make it clear whether the idea of phases are the idea of the author, the ideas of the sociologist they quoted, or the idea of Jay, but the basic premise is simple. The first two phases were that people had to realize that their experiences regarding sex and sexuality were different than others, and they had to form communities to overcome the notion that they suffered from an illness or a dysfunction.
Although the outsider may consider this to be a third phase of the Asexual movement, it is not even subtly missing the point. Challenging deeply held notions about sex and sexuality has always been part of the Asexual movement. The fact that AVEN exists at all means that a sizable portion of the population does not accept that free sexual expression means that everyone is interested in sex.
Suggesting that this is another may be an attempt to understand what has happened, but the phases within the movement proceed a little differently. The first phase would be as the author of the Atlantic article suggests. People notice that they are different and start to talk about their experiences. The second phase, which Asexuals still face, is overcoming the notions of deeply held people. Challenging people to think about what normal relationships and normal sex drives are is part of this step. The third step should be Aces starting to worry about issues that will affect different segments of their own population.
Life Without Sex: The Third Phase of the Asexuality Movement

Election Results and the Pro-Advisor Community
The election results are a perfect starting point to the premise of my article – things and people have changed, and we need to watch and listen carefully to the effects of these changes as they relate to our profession, and businesses.
I will do my best to keep out of the political fray, and stick to certain facts and poll numbers that have helped me form my questions and theories.
I have been wrestling with the effects of three things:
- The Pro Advisor Community
- Cloud computing
- The opinion and makeup of our electorate.
The Pro-Advisor Community
I was happy to see a number of new faces at the Sleeter Group this year, as it means that he is growing and reaching out to new generations. As a young business entrepreneur, Doug certainly gets the fact that we must constantly change to maintain both freshness, and profitability.
Aside from seeing Charlie Russell 'arrrrghgh' in his pirate outfit, the most interesting piece of the conference was the polling session that Jill Ward and Dan Warnekoff hosted. The one piece of data that caught my eye was the disparity in the number of people who are trending online vs. the number of pro advisors who worked with those people. And trust me, it is the one item that Intuit is also wrestling with.
Jill and I have been friends for many years, and we both look forward to getting together to discuss both personal lives and business trends in the business community. I gave her four points:
- For years, the pro advisor community has invested in the Intuit desktop products – and have grown up with the population that uses them. For many of us who are within say 10 years of retirement or less, pushing us to re-invest in a new direction may not be the best investment.
- For those who still don't like the online QuickBooks, it is because of the reference point – we have QuickBooks and online is not it. For new people who have never dealt with the desktop Quickbooks that reference is not there.
- The younger gadget, Facebook, anytime convenience, crowd will probably not cozy up to those of us who think Facebook is something we do at the spa.
- The nature of the entrepreneur is changing – no walls, no traditional office. Short term mobility and convenience are the prominent strategy.
From these 4 points I gave her one takeaway: Intuit needs to take the responsibility of finding that next generation of pro advisors who are comfortable in that generation's space. Some of us will participate out of necessity, some out of willingness, but it isn't necessary to succeed for those who can ride out the comfort space until retirement.
Looking at poll results from the election it was clear that the Obama team successfully messaged the Latino community and younger voters – even though right leaning pundits didn't think that was possible. Just as the Republican Party won't be able to count on just older white voters to win, Intuit cannot rely on just trying a different message on people with whom they have done business for so many years. They need new blood.
Cloud Computing
I know I have pontificated about the number of people being brought into the cloud computing era kicking and screaming, but I also don't want to be accused of class warfare. Again, many of us have grown up with QuickBooks on the desktop, but there is a new generation that doesn't NEED a desktop.
Let's look at the exit polls by CBS which showed that 65% people in larger cities thought that they wanted more government, yet the small cities and burbs were exactly reversed. I have my own opinion on this subject, but my point is, there is more than one way to arrive at the end result. Somehow we have to arrive at a solution where both sides are ameliorated – because there is an even split on the ideal. So yes, I feel strongly about providing continued support for desktop while bringing in another online generation – and creating options for us older folks – so that all are served.
(As business owners, there is one other CBS poll statistic that you should be very aware of: 55% of voters believe that the economic system favors the wealthy; you are going to have your own class warfare to deal with; not just Chuck and cloud computing.)
Over time new computing options will evolve, just as the number of minorities in this country will evolve. The house needs to be complete – until there is no need for a particular option. Yes, the typewriter comes to mind – but yet, there are still a few old literary codgers who still use it instead of a computer. No harm done, that is for sure.
The New Entrepreneur
The demographics of the electorate, and the use of new tools (The Republicans need to hire Michelle Long for their social usage) have also helped me frame a view that not only is the makeup of average user changing, but so too is the entrepreneur. We talked years ago about the demise of the 'janitor to CEO', and we have moved way beyond that. I was engaged in a conversation with one of Jill's Staff, and I asked this gentleman, what was the one thing that surprised him with regard to how his daughter communicates as opposed to how he grew up. I loved his answer: "When she was 9, it was e-mail; when she was 14 it was texting; Now she is 18, and she answers everybody with a u-tube." Generations used to be several decades – no longer. Life experiences for the newer generations move much quicker and – IMHO – a shorter concentration and attention span. Not ADD, but a different manner in experiencing life.
Starting a business, used to mean starting with an idea, then growing that idea slowly, and maybe adding employees, branches over a period of time. The main goal was to establish something that would last. When reading Steve Job's biography, I was struck by his comment that 'I wanted to build something that lasts beyond me'. But currently that is not true for many trying to get a start in the application development world. In today's culture, it is much easier to create something – by yourself, and with no office – with the intention of selling it, and then going to do something else. The philosophy and strategy is different. Is this true for everybody? No, but the percentage of entrepreneurs that I interact with are closer to the 'create and sell' model. They are willing to bring in venture capitalists with the intention of getting out – something not true even a dozen years ago.
So what do we do? Well, we become virtual coaches with short and quick pieces of advice – and as they grow we give them advice on what tools they can use that will give them what they want – on a self-serve basis. For many of us, who have provided the 'end to end' service, there is an incredible burden to know all kinds of software application options, integration ideals, etc etc.; or being a traditional VAR who sells specific software. I believe that both of these will diminish over time. There are many options, but the real opportunity is to try and be generally knowledgeable – and not have to depend on just selling one specific piece of software. I truly believe that this type of approach will work with the younger entrepreneur.
Then again, the ROI for this sort of thing may not be in your best interest – or something you have an affinity to do. I can promise that there will be plenty of need for the traditional desktop applications and integration – but just know that there will be a slow decline over a period of time. This country is changing – and we need to recognize it.

"Verrry In…teresting" as Arte Johnson would have said it on the old Rowan and Martin 'Laugh-in'.
I can't imagine that desktop software and integration as we know it will exist in 10 or even 5 years. I'd be surprised if "Cloud Computing" will be recognizable in a decade. I've taken my ProAdvisor business through three major changes (pre-internet, internet connectivity, remote access) in 16 years. At 48, I've got 20+ years until I retire. I'm diving into the Cloud now and I see it as a tool for reviving my business to pre-recession vigor…and beyond.
Michele-Ditto! I have been a Sage partner for about the same and done a little bit of QuickBooks Enterprise. I agree that to compete you have to dive into the cloud options. It is an interesting and exciting time!
1) Intuit needs to get their house in order before they can expect we will willing navigate "to the cloud". QBO needs to be a better product than it is. Minimally, it needs to be as robust as the desktop solution. Additionally, they need to get their internal operations up to speed and their database cleaned up. Lastly, Intuit servers. Enough said.
2) Regardless of the push for ProAdvisors to migrate "to the cloud" you need to understand that even if "we" do, it doesn't mean our clients will, or, want to. If the department of Revenue in South Carolina can be hacked, it doesn't emote a lot of confidence that "Intuit" can't, or won't be. You'll need our clients to get old, also, before you can transition them. They want their "stuff" secure, and in their control. Actually, so do I. I don't like being at the mercy of a) Intuit, b) my web connection c) an IT guy.
The more "automated" I become, as well as my Clients, the more "issues" I have to resolve that aren't related to conducting business. Downtime, errors, links that are broken and don't connect, dead-spots, response time, downloads that don't download, installs that won't install, updates that cause corruption, etc, etc, etc. "New" doesn't automatically mean better. We can head that direction, but don't expect it to be "embraced". -
QuickBooks Online is a horrid product. I told a client this fall that we could have cleaned up their file in a tenth of the time (and at a tenth of the cost) if they had had regular QuickBooks. I have not and will not recommend or even consider QBO (and I am a huge QB fan having used it since it first came out). We are recommending and setting up our clients on the cloud with regular desktop QuickBooks. We use Qutera as our hosting service. It's less expensive than QBO, provides the advantages of online access,is the QB program we know and love, and enables access from Macs or PC's, also eliminating the need for QB for the MAC, another inadequate and poorly designed program. The cloud is the next step. It's already in motion. I don't know what will happen next. Technology has been quite an adventure. I took a programming class in college (1966-1970). We typed our programs on punch cards and never saw the computer which was a huge machine in a cooled backroom. 10 years later (1980)when I was working at Control Data Corporation, IBM and Control Data introduced the first PC's. My project resulting in Control Data producing one of the first flowcharting software applications. 5 years later (1985)when I left Control Data to become a partner in a management consulting company, I paid a programmer to customize a PC spreadsheet application to handle accounting data entry and produce financial reports automatically, a complete automated, accounting system. It worked great but was far more expensive than QB that came out 5 years later (1990 or so). I enjoy the technology and look forward to what we'll all create in the future. And yes, we have new problems to solve unrelated to accounting or QB. My company's solution has been to collaborate with IT professionals, particularly now as our company has expanded from being ProAdvisors to also becoming an Intuit Premier Reseller. This is getting us into the more complex QB programs, Enterprise Solutions, Advanced Inventory, Field Service Management, POS. These programs almost always require networking, multiple users, remote access, electronic processing of various transactions, so they will keep us learning for years to come. And sometimes, I too get exhausted that we have something new to learn again, just when I've finally mastered the latest round of new and redesigned products. It would be nice not to feel like I'm on the ever-accelerating treadmill of technology. But, welcome to the 21st Century!
Like many, I am an oldie too. I've seen it all before. If in early 1980s, someone told me that MS-DOS would be going away, I would have said that I would stick with DOS because I prefered that environment. Peachtree for DOS, was widely liked and accepted by many who hated the Windows versions. The problem is that people cannot buy computers with MS-DOS anymore, and Peachtree for DOS is no longer being developed or sold. Same goes for may other DOS-based programs (Real Word, DacEasy, etc.). As users, we did not like it, but we all had no choice but to adapt to Windows versions eventually.
Eventually, I also learned to like my Windows 1,2, 3, 98,2000, my Windows XP, etc., etc. The issue is, I did not have any choice in staying with these old releases. I used to like my pre-PC punch cards, the 10″ floppy disks, then the 5.25″ floppy, then the 3.5″ disks, then the CD, then the DVDs. I learned to love them all. BUT, now I love being able to download software for my installations.
As you know, Microsoft is promoting (really pushing) cloud-based computing (Office 365, Sharepoint). At some point in time, the possibility exists that a vast majority of people, especially the new generations, will be in favor of cloud computing. This trending could, and in my opinion probably will, move us from a Windows desktop operating system, to cloud-based platorms. It's simply less expensive to produce, sell and support by Microsoft. If this happens, and I think it eventually will, Windows as we know it goes away.
Looking into the future, I see more development by Intuit on the clould-based version of QuickBooks. As we know, there are fewer and fewer really good product enhancements of the desktop version. QBO edition serves good purpose for some of my clients (with simple needs) now.
Just like QB Desktop cannot be the best software for everone, QBO cannot be the right software either. Imagine if QuickBooks Online had the features an functionality like the desktop (or NetSuite). Wouldn't many more people be using it!
One thing is for sure, change is inevitable and we are not dictating it. It happens whether we like it or not. If we want to stay in the game, we have to adapt. We can voice our dislikes, but unfortunately, we have to eat the food put on our plates. What happens when Intuit decides to stop develping the desktop version? What happens when Windows Desktop goes away? What do we do then… retire? Not me. I am not ready yet.
Chuck, I just love reading your blogs! Thanks for your good work.
As far as the Pro Advisor community embracing QBO, this is something I have scratched my over for several years. Intuit has been offering QBO for 8-10 years and did not decide to 'legitimize' it until this year by offering a QBO Certification. Similar to how people can specialize in QB for Mac, Enterprise or POS, I believe MANY MANY more PA's would have been more willing to embrace QBO if Intuit would have provided training before now!
I agree that existing QB users are not the prime target for QBO. I will not be recommending current QB Desktop clients convert to QBO. There are just too many major differences in functionality. No ability to calculate finance charges, no price levels, only one inventory item type and I still can't believe that you can't push online bill payments from QBO to the bank. What good is a cloud software that doesn't integrate with online banking?? While it is possible to get add-ons to fix various pieces of the puzzle, that just makes things more confusing for the client and they have to pay for the extra pieces one by one. Better to target existing QBO users or go after new clients in that space that don't have the habits from using QB desktop.
In my opinion, Intuit did not become very 'Gung-Ho' about their own online product until Xero hit the scene. Intuit's market share in the Online space will not be what they've experienced with desktop products and as the desktop goes away, that could spell T-R-O-U-B-L-E for Intuit.
I've heeded Doug's advice to find other baskets to put my eggs into (like Xero, Freshbooks, Wave, Sage). At least if the bottom falls out of one basket, all won't be lost!
Since I have 20+ years before retiring, the cloud is something I have to embrace, whether I like it or not. I'm happy to be part of the Sleeter Group because I feel it gives me an advantage knowing how to best handle the inevitable changes that are coming to the profession.
And yes I DO still have a typewriter that gets some occasional use, and a client that uses a safeguard system to hand write checks!
There is a difference between Cloud Computing and QBO. I am a ProAdvisor that uses all versions of QB Desktop because QBO typically doesn't have the features that my clients are requiring.
Most of these clients are using QB Desktop on the Cloud. We have an Cloud hosting company that installs the desktop version of the software on a dedicated server for each client. The client and I can then access the company file through a remote desktop session. It works as quickly and efficiently (sometimes more) as if you were working from your own local desktop.
QBO, on the other hand, is really an SAS (Software as a Service) and doesn't represent all Cloud computing. So, I urge you not to throw the baby out with the bath water (you can tell I've been around for awhile and consider the many benefits of the Cloud when it comes to QB desktop.
I think that Intuit is doing a disservice by marketing QBO as their Cloud solution.

Step 1: Parts
EMT pipe $10.50
Brass bushings $10
Wire Basket $8
Skewer plus shipping $30
So for roughly $60 and a day and half of time, I think I made a good decision.
The wood piece was made as a jig of sorts that I used to help position the top and bottom pieces. I drilled 7/8 holes then cut through the center of each.
If I can find the right frame out there I want to make the Ibex suspension version.
I will be welding, not brazing, so I'm not yet sure what I will do about the bushing issue at the hinge.
My last trailer used paracord webbing, which worked well, but the wire mesh is nice too.
Nice wheel.
The wheel was actually on a bike I got for free. It is the perfect size. God forbid I ever have to true the damn thing tho...
Overall, a spectacular build. Can't wait to attempt one!
I am also considering building a camper type trailer to pull...

Weymouth New Testament (WNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 After some days He entered Capernaum again, and it soon became known that He was at home; | 1 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. |
2 and such numbers of people came together that there was no longer room for them even round the door. He was speaking His Message to them, | 2 So many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. |
3 when there came a party of people bringing a paralytic--four men carrying him. | 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. |
4 Finding themselves unable, however, to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they untiled the roof just over His head, and after clearing an opening they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying. | 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on. |
5 Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, "My son, your sins are pardoned." | 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven." |
6 Now there were some of the Scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts. | 6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, |
7 "Why does this man use such words?" they said; "he is blaspheming. Who can pardon sins but One--that is, God?" | 7 "Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" |
8 At once perceiving by His spirit that they were reasoning within themselves, Jesus asked them, "Why do you thus argue in your minds? | 8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, "Why are you thinking these things? |
9 Which is easier?--to say to this paralytic, `Your sins are pardoned,' or to say, `Rise, take up your mat, and walk?' | 9 Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take your mat and walk'? |
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He turned to the paralytic, and said, | 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins . . ." He said to the paralytic, |
11 "To you I say, `Rise, take up your mat and go home.'" | 11 "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." |
12 The man rose, and immediately under the eyes of all took up his mat and went out, so that they were all filled with astonishment, gave the glory to God, and said, "We never saw anything like this." | 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!" |
13 Again He went out to the shore of the Lake, and the whole multitude kept coming to Him, and He taught them. | 13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. |
14 And as He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, "Follow me." So he rose and followed Him. | 14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him. |
15 When He was sitting at table in Levi's house, a large number of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners were at table with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many such who habitually followed Him. | 15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. |
16 But when the Scribes of the Pharisee sect saw Him eating with the sinners and the tax-gatherers, they said to His disciples, "He is eating and drinking with the tax-gatherers and sinners!" | 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the "sinners" and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?" |
17 Jesus heard the words, and He said, "It is not the healthy who require a doctor, but the sick: I did not come to appeal to the righteous, but to sinners." | 17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." |
18 (Now John's disciples and those of the Pharisees were keeping a fast.) And they came and asked Him, "How is it that John's disciples and those of the Pharisees are fasting, and yours are not?" | 18 Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, "How is it that John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?" |
19 "Can a wedding party fast while the bridegroom is among them?" replied Jesus. "So long as they have the bridegroom with them, fasting is impossible. | 19 Jesus answered, "How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. |
20 But a time will come when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast. | 20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast. |
21 No one mends an old garment with a piece of unshrunk cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away from it--the new from the old--and a worse hole would be made. | 21 "No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. |
22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the wine would burst the skins, and both wine and skins would be lost. New wine needs fresh skins!" | 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, he pours new wine into new wineskins." |
23 One Sabbath He was walking through the wheatfields when His disciples began to pluck the ears of wheat as they went. | 23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. |
24 So the Pharisees said to Him, "Look! why are they doing what on the Sabbath is unlawful?" | 24 The Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?" |
25 "Have you never read," Jesus replied, "what David did when the necessity arose and he and his men were hungry: | 25 He answered, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? |
26 how he entered the house of God in the High-priesthood of Abiathar, and ate the Presented Loaves--which none but the priests are allowed to eat--and gave some to his men also?" | 26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions." |
27 And Jesus said to them: "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; | 27 Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. |
28 so that the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath." | 28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath." |

The title says it all: We watch Dave and DeAndre compete in series of absurdly escalating challenges. Basketball is only the beginning.
EW talked with Franco about his Funny or Die collaborations, stripping down with DeAndre, and his desire to one day direct.

Gov. Bill Haslam's proposed budget document for Fiscal Year 2014-15 includes a $4 million appropriation for the local facility, the Cleveland Daily Banner has learned.
Included on page A-137 of the vast 354-page budget document, it is listed as a line item earmarked for a new Tennessee veterans home in Bradley County.
"This is a wonderful and timely gift from Gov. Haslam to our local community," said state Rep. Kevin Brooks, R-Cleveland whose 24th Legislative District includes the 28-acre site off APD-40 that supporters still hope will become the 108-bed facility's nesting place.
Brooks added, "It signifies, as we have been saying recently, that the State Veterans Home in Bradley County is still very much on track for our local veterans. This comes at a great time and will go a long way in funding this project."
Since late 2013, the Southeast Tennessee Veterans Home Council and local supporters have been working closely with the state Veterans Affairs Office to resolve concerns about the proposed site as identified by the State of Tennessee Real Estate and Asset Management. STREAM is a division of state government operating within the Department of General Services.
In November, STREAM rejected the donated property by citing concerns over land dimensions, soil texture, visibility and rising costs; however, Tennessee Commissioner of Veterans Affairs Many-Bears Grinder called these "speed bumps" that can be overcome with diligence and cooperative mindsets by state and local officials.
Site concerns are still being addressed and have yet to be fully resolved, but news of the governor's budget proposal has lifted the spirits of the local veterans team.
"We are elated, and are very appreciative, of the $4 million included in Gov. Haslam's proposed budget for the Cleveland/Bradley County State Veterans Home," local VA Director Larry McDaris stressed. "Since the initial application, the design of the home has changed. This, plus inflation has driven the projected cost for construction up by about $10 million."
When the local application was first submitted in 2008, the home's estimated cost was about $21 million. Since that time, extensive design changes that have enhanced the project, as well as inflation, have upped the price to more than $30 million.
In order to qualify for a 65 percent federal government match, local and state cofers had to ante up 35 percent of the cost. Until the governor's proposed $4 million appropriation came along, the local and state match just wasn't there, McDaris explained.
Haslam's earmark for the local facility now means more than $11 million is available for the state and local match. McDaris said current commitments include: $4 million from state government; $3 million from a private donor who has not been identified; and slightly more than $2 million each from the Cleveland City Council and Bradley County Commission.
"This additional $4 million from the state, if it is ultimately approved by the state Legislature, would be a huge boost in our efforts to meet the increased 35 percent required to be eligible for the 65 percent federal match," McDaris said. "We are most grateful for this help from the state."
Yvette Martinez, assistant commissioner of Outreach and Communications for the Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs, confirmed early today the state appropriation is earmarked exclusively and "indefinitely" for the Bradley County project.
"The governor, as well as the Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs, are committed to this project," Martinez reported through an email statement to the Banner. "... The funds were requested by the Tennessee State Veterans Home administration. They manage and operate the homes as a self-sustaining entity."
Although the $4 million appropriation will get the local project much closer to its funding goal, it will still be about $870,000 short of reaching the 35 percent state/local share.
"The federal government pays for 65 percent of construction costs for state veterans homes and the remainder of 35 percent is state and local funding," Martinez explained. "For the Bradley County Tennessee State Veterans Home, there is [still] a deficit of $869,980 to reach the 35 percent."
She said until the unmet balance is appropriated, the local project will not be added to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs Priority 1 list for construction of future state veterans homes.
Martinez confirmed the $4 million appropriation, if approved, will not carry a statute of limitations. Its commitment to the Bradley County project is a specific earmark and it is indefinite.
Once the Bradley County home is ready for construction, the state funds will be available for use provided they are approved by state legislators.
[Commissioner] Grinder, who is out of state on business attending a conference and who is a longtime advocate of the local veterans home project, weighed in on the governor's commitment to the local initiative.
"We were excited to see the proposed appropriation for the Bradley County Tennessee State Veterans Home in the governor's budget," Grinder said. "We believe this state investment puts this project one step closer to construction."
McDaris, who has dedicated years to the veterans home project, and Brooks were joined by the rest of the Bradley County legislative delegation in crediting Haslam's willingness to support the local initiative.
"This gift from Gov. Haslam shows his support for veterans across our state, for Bradley County and for those who represent this city and county in Nashville," said state Rep. Eric Watson, R-Cleveland who represents the 22nd Legislative District. "We are very thankful for these funds."
State Sens. Mike Bell, R-Riceville representing the 9th Senatorial District, and Todd Gardenhire, R-Chattanooga representing the 4th Senatorial District, echoed the sentiments of Brooks, Watson and McDaris.
"This appropriation is important toward the future of this significant project in Bradley County," Bell stressed. "There are 94 other counties, all requesting funds, so we are grateful for this help."
Like Brooks, Gardenhire pointed to the timing of the budget document. It came at a time when Bradley County veterans needed a boost, the senator said.
"We truly needed this funding, but more importantly, we needed this public show of support for this project," Gardenhire stated. "This is a great day for Bradley County veterans."
Brooks, Watson, Bell and Gardenhire all pledged their continuing support for the local veterans home once the property rejection by STREAM was announced. All committed to working together to find a property solution — whether it meant correcting issues with the existing site or finding another location. The same commitments were made by the state VA commissioner during a personal visit to Cleveland shortly after the STREAM decision was disclosed.
At this point, the governor's budget remains a proposal. It must be voted on by both chambers of the state Legislature — the Senate and the House of Representatives. Both have finance committees whose members will take it up first. Brooks is a member of the House Finance Committee.
Brooks said he feels good about the local earmark because it is already included in Haslam's proposal.
"We're not having to fight to insert this funding [into the budget document]," Brooks said. "This is the governor saying, 'we need to do this.' This is the best place we can be [as far as potential state funding]."
The Cleveland legislator, who serves as assistant majority leader in the House, said this is an identical type of appropriation made by Haslam in last year's budget document that cleared the way for the start of construction of the new veterans home in Montgomery County. Groundbreaking for the Clarksville facility came in 2013.
Brooks doesn't have a timeline on the budget proposal, but pointed out the 108th General Assembly of the Legislature is scheduled to complete its work by mid-April. This means a budget vote sometime before then.
"Unlike Washington, D.C., we can't leave Nashville without balancing our budget," Brooks said. "We have a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget."
That means legislators will focus on the budget, and its funding proposals, for the next two months, he noted.
Brooks said the Bradley County veterans home has communitywide support.
"We believe in this project," he said. "We are supportive of this project. This [Haslam's budget document] sends a very comforting signal that the Bradley County veterans home has the attention of those in Nashville ... at the very highest level."
Brooks also pointed to another figure who has supported the local facility.
"During the closing days of our last [General Assembly] session, I had a conversation with then-Deputy Gov. Claude Ramsey," the Cleveland lawmaker reflected. "I shared with him how much we would miss him in Nashville, as a friend of Bradley County and of his support for our State Veterans Home here. But even without him being here, I feel Claude is still helping us out, and for that I am truly grateful."

My husband is firmly set on installing one of these in our new remodel. It would be at the end of our living room where there is a very nice lake view and lead to the deck; the wall is approx 14'. Here is the catch: we live in Seattle! I just can't imagine enough days in the year where we will have the darn thing open, and actually when it is very warm here, we will be using A/C, so that nixes the open doors. My challenge is that he has pretty much deferred all of the design and selection of the everything in the house to me, and this is one of very few things that he wants. If I could get some feedback from any of you who have this type of system in your homes, perhaps I can persuade him to forego the folly and plan a nice family vacation to Italy instead!!! (I am open to both sides here, too- if you love love love yours- please tell me why)
BTW- the cost compared to the overall project is not a huge percentage, and DH pointed out that if we don't do the Nana/Marvin, then we will still have the cost of french doors and windows, so the net additional cost is around $5-8k. Thanks,

I have seen only a few of these installations here in Vancouver and can tell you that the few days or weeks you can open your home to the outside would be well worth the investment. A NanaWall door system makes your home and your yard one space. Currently we are doing the waterproofing and tile work on a large exterior up in West Vancouver and the end result will be fantastic!

Westword Music Showcase 2013 recap from Curious Theatre
Brian Landis Folkins Nathaniel Rateliff with the Colorado Symphony at the Westword Music Showcase.
Every year at the Westword Music Showcase, we enlist our army of Backbeat wordsmiths to host various stages. In addition to their emcee duties, we ask them to pull double duty by submitting a travelogue of their individual stage. A.H. Goldstein hosted at the Curious Theatre this past Saturday. Keep reading for some of the highlights from that stage.

Brian Landis Folkins Anthony Ruptak
Anthony Ruptak kicked off the Curious roster with an innovative approach to guitar voicing, musical contours and sly catches of phrase. Joined by stand-up bass, violin, drums and electric guitar, Ruptak handled his acoustic guitar intimately and expertly. There was the unamplified megaphone he placed next to his vocal mic. Though he used it sparingly, the voicing of megaphone offered a different contour and context to his strong tenor voice.
Ruptak showed the same talent for sound in his approach to the fretboard: His chords played out up and down the neck, and his balladry benefited from a careful, studied approach to playing. Add to that the use of mallets, brushes and sticks by the drummer; the guitarist's nod to Jimmy Page in using a violin bow on his strings; and the hand clapping breaks by the entire band, and it was a range of sounds to be reckoned with.
Brian Landis Folkins The Raven and the Writing Desk
The Raven and the Writing Desk were all about impressive interplay. As soon as the sextet's set kicked off, the band showed an eerie kind of musical chemistry in their tight melodies, odd time breaks and frantic runs. Julia LiBassi lead the charge on vocals and keyboards, spelling out eerie imagery as she picked out speedy and dizzying lines on the keys and the rest of the band never missed a cue - they followed the difficult lead with intensely complex input of their own. The effect was energizing. Indeed, the band offered a carefully crafted orchestral sound with enough drama and theatricality to fit into the theater setting perfectly.
Brian Landis Folkins John Common
John Common's set hinted at new steps to come. The set was composed almost entirely of new material, and it was clear that the quintet has pushed to move past the era of Beautiful Empty and Side 3, his most recent releases. On lead guitar and lead vocals, Common offered new songs about loss and love found in airport bars. The new material will likely show up on a new release scheduled for later this year. As in past Showcase appearances, the rest of the band offered the perfect complement to Common's introspective and intense brand of songwriting. Jessica DiNicola was Common's ideal vocal complement with her cooing lines and careful harmonies. A tribute tune by Common for DiNicola was a highlight of the set.
Brian Landis Folkins I'm With Her
I'm With Her, the duo of Angie Stevens and Haley Rydel, took turns on guitar, with Rydel picking up the mandolin for every other song or so. The string work was consistent - while the pair stuck to basic forms up and down the neck thanks to capos, they showed a skill for finding the perfect complement to fit their harmonies -- and their harmonies were the star of the set, with the two consistently delivering impressive vocals. That vocal prowess made the set truly memorable. It was what turned a cover of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" into a brand-new tune, one that drew out every ounce of loss and regret in the lyrics.
Brian Landis Folkins Shel
Talk about a happy family. The four sisters comprising the band SHEL (an acronym for the players -- Sarah, Hannah, Eva and Liza Holbrook) showed a jaw-dropping brand of chemistry and skill from the first strains of their debut instrumental tunes. The quartet showed an unbelievable amount of skill on each of their instruments: drums, piano, mandolin and violin. From the very first song, it was clear that this is a sisterhood of virtuosos.
Brian Landis Folksins The Holbrook sisters (aka Shel)
But the band's technical skill didn't meant there wasn't any soul in the quartet's set. Sarah's violin runs, Eva's astounding mandolin work, Liza's double duty on drums and hand drums and Hannah's role as bassist and lead player on piano all showed a captivating amount of passion. The four also laid down harmonies that sounded downright angelic, a dynamic that was especially captivating on the group's cover of Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore" and the original tune "Moonshine Hill."
Brian Landis Folkins Chimney Choir
Chimney Choir didn't have access to their trademark brand of performance art, but the quintet still played with the joy and energy of street performers. David Rynhart cooed and crowed lyrics from his perch at the piano as percussionist Carl Sorensen went to town on bottles, cow bells and other non-traditional additions to his kit. Kris Drickey showed a similar zeal on her vocals and guitar runs as the rest of the band ventured between instruments and sounds. While the folk and Americana strains were clear on tunes like "I-25," the performance showed that a big part of the band's appeal lies in their pure presence.

This release was sent out by the Bozeman Ranger District.
The Bozeman Ranger District, Custer and Gallatin National Forests has released an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the South Bridger Interface Project that is available for review and public comment. The District will also be hosting an informational meeting on Monday March 3, 2014 at the Bridger Canyon Rural Fire Department Community Room from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. (8081 Bridger Canyon Road, Bozeman, MT). Resource specialists will be available to provide information and answer questions about the proposed South Bridger Interface Project, which is located approximately 15 miles northeast of Bozeman, MT in Bridger Canyon.
The South Bridger Interface project area is located within the wildland urban interface, adjacent to and partially within the Bridger Bowl Ski Resort in the vicinity of Slushman Creek. It lies between private residential and forested/agricultural lands to the east and National Forest System lands, partly occupied by Bridger Bowl to the west. Forest vegetation in the project area consists of Douglas-fir and lodgepole pine that has experienced a high rate of tree mortality from spruce budworm and mountain pine beetle. The proposed action would thin approximately 250 acres of forest vegetation to reduce tree mortality from ongoing insect infestations, and is needed to maintain a healthy forest in the Bridger Canyon corridor. Without treatment, there is a high probability that many more trees would be severely impacted by budworm and Douglas-fir beetles.
"The proposed project includes treatments that are designed to alter stand micro-environments that will create conditions less favorable to western spruce budworm, mountain pine beetle and Douglas-fir beetle; along with improving the growing space of remaining trees to allow for tree growth, vigor and resiliency," explained Keith Konen, Forest Silviculturalist.
Minimal temporary road construction of one half mile or less is anticipated for access. The proposed project would start in 2014 and would be completed within a three-year timeframe, followed by burning of slash piles, rehabilitation of temporary roads and monitoring of the project.
Public comment on the project will be accepted for 30 days (through March 16, 2014). The South Bridger Interface Environmental Assessment is available online at: http://www.fs.usda.gov/projects/gallatin/landmanagement/projects, by scanning the QR code, or by contacting the Bozeman Ranger District at 406-522-2520 to request a copy. For additional information about the project, contact Amy Waring, Project leader at 406-255-1451

This first shirt is a male t-shirt with the Weta logo on the chest and also wrapped around both sleeves.
The second shirt is a male t-shirt similar to the first but it has the addition of the URL on the back.
The third shirt is a long-sleeve female shirt with the Weta log on the chest and the URL on the back. I have no clue why the shirt is so shiny but it's kind of cool.
Here is the same female shirt with a different texture.
I know the Weta logo isn't as clear as it could be; all I did was steal it from their homepage, in a roundabout way, and make the stencils. I had thought about putting an image of The One Ring on the back, but Weta is much more than The Lord of the Rings so I went with the URL.

Just wondered if anyone would be interested in some free kittens in the Knoxville area? Let me know....Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've never heard of a kittens plant. Does it have nice flowers. LOL |
Sorry, I was desperate. I did'nt want to take them to a kill shelter. I hope I did'nt over upset anyone by placing that on here. |
Many gardners use cats to guard against things like moles and voles. So free garden watch-kittens are garden related. |

The book doesn't cover what these are for, I'm running under the assumption that a Bacta Tank needs one litre of replacement fluid every hour of use. Was that the intention?
My group bought a bunch of these, and I don't think they have any use for them. They might be confused thinking that they are for healing without a tank.
