Hebrew Names Version (HNV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Kafar-Nachum. | 1 When Jesus had finished saying all this in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. |
2 A certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death. | 2 There a centurion's servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. |
3 When he heard about Yeshua, he sent to him Zakenim of the Yehudim, asking him to come and save his servant. | 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. |
4 When they came to Yeshua, they begged him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy for you to do this for him, | 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, "This man deserves to have you do this, |
5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us." | 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue." |
6 Yeshua went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, don't trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof. | 6 So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: "Lord, don't trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. |
7 Therefore I didn't even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed. | 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. |
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go!' and he goes; and to another, 'Come!' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." | 8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." |
9 When Yeshua heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, "I tell you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Yisra'el." | 9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel." |
10 Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well. | 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well. |
11 It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Na`im. Many of his talmidim went with him, along with a great multitude. | 11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. |
12 Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her. | 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out--the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. |
13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, "Don't cry." | 13 When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry." |
14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!" | 14 Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!" |
15 He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. He gave him to his mother. | 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother. |
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and, "God has visited his people!" | 16 They were all filled with awe and praised God. "A great prophet has appeared among us," they said. "God has come to help his people." |
17 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Yehudah, and in all the surrounding region. | 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country. |
18 The talmidim of Yochanan told him about all these things. | 18 John's disciples told him about all these things. Calling two of them, |
19 Yochanan, calling to himself two of his talmidim, sent them to Yeshua, saying, "Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?" | 19 he sent them to the Lord to ask, "Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?" |
20 When the men had come to him, they said, "Yochanan the immerser has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?'" | 20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?' " |
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight. | 21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. |
22 Yeshua answered them, "Go and tell Yochanan the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. | 22 So he replied to the messengers, "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. |
23 Blessed is he who is not offended by me." | 23 Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me." |
24 When Yochanan's messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about Yochanan, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? | 24 After John's messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: "What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind? |
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. | 25 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. |
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet. | 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. |
27 This is he of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before your face, Who will prepare your way before you.' | 27 This is the one about whom it is written: " 'I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.' |
28 "For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than Yochanan the immerser, yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he." | 28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he." |
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they justified God, being immersed with Yochanan's immersion. | 29 (All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus' words, acknowledged that God's way was right, because they had been baptized by John. |
30 But the Perushim and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being immersed by him themselves. | 30 But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God's purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.) |
31 The Lord said, "To what then will I liken the men of this generation? What are they like? | 31 "To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? |
32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, 'We piped to you, and you didn't dance. We mourned, and you didn't weep.' | 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other: " 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not cry.' |
33 For Yochanan the immerser came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.' | 33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.' |
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' | 34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners." ' |
35 Wisdom is justified by all her children." | 35 But wisdom is proved right by all her children." |
36 One of the Perushim invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Parush's house, and sat at the table. | 36 Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table. |
37 Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Parush's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment. | 37 When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume, |
38 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. | 38 and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. |
39 Now when the Parush who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner." | 39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is--that she is a sinner." |
40 Yeshua answered him, "Shim`on, I have something to tell you." He said, "Teacher, say on." | 40 Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." "Tell me, teacher," he said. |
41 "A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. | 41 "Two men owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. |
42 When they couldn't pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?" | 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?" |
43 Shim`on answered, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most." He said to him, "You have judged correctly." | 43 Simon replied, "I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled." "You have judged correctly," Jesus said. |
44 Turning to the woman, he said to Shim`on, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. | 44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. |
45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. | 45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. |
46 You didn't anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. | 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. |
47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little." | 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven--for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little." |
48 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." | 48 Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." |
49 Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" | 49 The other guests began to say among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" |
50 He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in shalom." | 50 Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." |

Starting the week of November 22nd, 2010, the New York City Department of Sanitation is changing the recycling collection day in certain areas of Staten Island Community Board 3 (Annadale, Huguenot, Rossville, Pleasant Plains, and Prince's Bay). These changes will enable the Department to make the most efficient use of our resources.
DSNY has been conducting outreach to all buildings in the affected community board areas. DSNY's Enforcement Division will not be issuing 'failure to store' summonses to affected buildings during the start-up phase of the recycling collection changes.
For further information on the changes to recycling collection days, as well as other changes, call 3-1-1 or visit www.nyc.gov/sanitation.

Chiong Y et al. – The use of the toe spreader did not result in significant improvements in any outcomes. Studies with sample sizes of at least 56 participants and strategies to increase compliance to the use of the toe spreader are recommended.
Methods- Single–blind, randomized controlled pilot trial.
- Outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital in Singapore.
- Nine ambulatory participants with tonic toe flexion reflex more than six months post stroke.
- Control or customized toe spreader groups for six months.
- The toe spreader was made of Rolyan Ezemix elastomer putty and worn with sport sandals during ambulation.
- Gait speed and plantar surface contact area, pain visual analogue scale (VAS), Berg Balance Scale, Modified Ashworth Scale, activity level measured on pedometer and compliance via logbook.
- There were no significant differences between the groups.
- Both groups showed non–significant improvements in gait speed (toe spreader 0.34 (0.26) versus 0.37 (0.29) m/s; control 0.40 (0.27) versus 0.50 (0.17) m/s), activity level, step length of the hemiplegic leg and stride length at six months.
- All participants in the intervention group used the toe spreader less than 50% of the days, indicating suboptimal compliance.

Hi, The pic is my current small kitchen. I will be moving the oven to the far right and moving the dishwasher to where the oven is now. This will give me an uninterrupted counter space all the way to the sink. This will be the color of my new cabinets: http://t2cabinet.com/products_usonia.html If you live in Chicago this company has amazing cabinet prices. I live in a Garden/semi-below ground unit so the windows are smaller and hence less natural light. Here are my options for granite colors: http://caragraniteco.com/products.html If you live in Chicago they are giving me a great price, he's giving me free Ogee edge since countertop is small and giving me free undermount sink. I do have granite vanity in the bathroom, vanity is white and granite is almost pitch black with tiny spots of brown. I like dark color but perhaps I should choose a lighter color to brighten the room, I have no idea....... For the top of the cabinets, my contractor will come over & let me know if he can move those 2 vents. If he can move them, I can get 42" cabinets with crown moulding all the way to the ceiling. If he can't find a place for my vents, should I get crown moulding at the top of cabinets, its only $32 extra, was just wondering which looks better. For under cabinet lights, I plan on going with this led setup: http://www.hitlights.com/led-multi-colored-light-bar-kit.html Thanks for your designer tips for a guy that has no clue about this stuff :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
check out indian vyara. it is lighter, but has some caramel to tie in your floors. hopefully they can move your vents |
If you want the room to look more spacious, minimize the amount of contrast between the finish colors. So with the Honey Maple, you'd want one of the lighter stones like the Giallo Ornamental or New Venetian Gold. But make sure that they don't have undertones that clash with the cabinets. The cab seems to have a yellow or golden undertone - make sure the granite doesn't have any pinkness. If you can handle a darker counter, I think the Verde Peacock would be lovely with maple. |
- Posted by chicagoan23 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 24, 13 at 20:07
Thanks everyone! I was thinking the exact same thing, Giallo Ornamental or New Venetian Gold to look more spacious, but I do prefer darker and was leaning towards Verde Butterfly or Verde Peacock :) |
I have 2 of the granites that you are considering in my house. I used the Verde Peacock in my kitchen with natural cherry cabinets and the New Venetian Gold with light oak cabinets in my laundry room. The pitcure of the honey maple cabinets you are getting looks similar to the color of my cabinets. Any of the granites you are considering would look fine with your wood but in my opinion, the Verde Peacock would be make much more of a statement. Everyone that has seen my Verde Peacok granite loves it and can't believe it is considered a common, lower level stone. I did not want Verde Butterfly because while it is similar to the Peacok it does not have the bits of gold in it that look so good with wood tone such as natural cherry or honey maple. I dont think the dark granite would make you kitchen look less spacious. It will make it look classier and more dramatic. To help you visualize a little better I will post a few pictures. Sorry, I have to do it in separate posts because I cant access my PhotoBucket pics at this time. Here is a close up of my Verde Peacock |

Thank you! I think I will go with Verde Peacock :) |

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share with you these seeds I'll be getting in a trade :). I think all of these are good selections for WS. What do you think? Yellow and purple Datura
Last year I did WS datura, balsam, penstemon and larkspur and they did great. I can't wait to try these! Brad AKA Moonwolf |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sound like a nice selection. |
That's a nice start. You're certainly not stopping there?! ;) Those will definitely make the butterflies happy. Martha |
Thank you, bakemom and docmom! Docmom, definitely not stopping yet! I have to go edit my exchange lists since I just traded away all my morning glory seeds that I got out of the garden for these. To everyone: feel free drop me a line once I get them redone! :) We'll work something out. Brad AKA Moonwolf |
Feel free to treat yourself to a Newbie pack from the project. |
Okay cool! Thank you! I'll head on over and see what you have! Brad AKA Moonwolf |
Brad, I carried a package of seeds for you around in my car all day today. I meant to stop at a post office to check on postage and mail it, but work was crazy. I can't wait for you to get it, though. I think you'll be pleased. I feel like Santa Claus! Martha |
Martha, lol It's okay! Getting new seeds for me anytime is like Christmas! I can't wait until I get my new seeds! Brad AKA Moonwolf |
Brad ~~ They are on there way. They went out on 11/03/11. |
Okay! I'll let you know when they arrive! Thank you! Brad AKA Moonwolf |
Well I got two envelopes of seeds today :-). I can't wait to start planting on the 21st/22nd of December! Brad AKA Moonwolf |

Last year, the married Wisconsin synth-dub duo Peaking Lights broke out with their album 936. They're already planning to unleash the self-produced follow-up album Lucifer on us this summer. And to give us some idea how the new album will sound, they've put together a new 72-minute mix that combines clips from tracks that'll appear on the new album with various tracks that influenced them. The whole thing is unlabelled, so good luck trying to figure out what's old and what's new. Listen to it below.
Lucifer is out 6/18 on Weird World. In the lead-up to its release, they'll post more mixes on this site.

Be sure to check out our previous discussions within this Guide to Budgeting mini-series:
Part One: Understanding Your Finances
Part Four: Eating Healthy on a Budget
Part Five: Fitting in Exercise
Are you trying to get fit but you "can't afford" a gym? No problem! The beauty of exercise is that it can cost as little (nothing) or as much (thousands of dollars) as you want.
1) Body weight: While a yoga mat is handy for performing most body weight exercises, you don't even need one of those. All you need is a bit of soft rug (you can even throw down a soft blanket or sweatshirt on the floor, or use the grass outside). Body weight exercises are any kind of exercise that use just your body weight to increase strength. This includes crunches, push ups, calf raises, leg raises, squats, lunges, triceps dips, and more!
I'm a big believer in body weight strength training. If we can push and pull our own bodies around, we learn them much better and become better acquainted with our personal physical capabilities. Body weight exercises often require balance and stability work, and the entire body tends to be engaged. When we use workout machines, we isolate specific muscles. I like body weight exercises because the whole body is getting a good workout. And it's free. You don't even need shoes if you're doing it indoors!
The outdoors can be handy, too. Playgrounds aren't just for little kids: use the monkey bars for pull-ups and chin-ups if you don't have access to a bar at your house.
2) Walking/running. For this, you'll want to invest in good quality shoes. I spend pretty much all of my time on my feet; when I'm not outside walking, I'm standing up in front of a computer and such. This means that my feet really take a beating. They are not pretty, but they have amazing endurance and don't tire easily. I'll take that over aesthetics any day (especially with regards to feet. Who cares what your feet look like? But I digress).
Try on lots of different shoes and make sure that you own several pairs so that you can switch them up. Shoes wear down easily if you use them a lot, and that means that if you tend to lean towards one side, the sole can get worn down and you won't be walking straight. Poor posture not only looks bad, but it also could cause serious injury to your back and hips. Using a few different pairs of shoes will help to stabilize your body better.
You could get on a treadmill or an elliptical for your walking/running needs, but frankly, it's really expensive. And why would you want to hang out on a machine when you could be outside listening to the birds and admiring the view? Cardio is very easy to adapt to a tight budget.
3) Bikes/rollerblades. This is transportation at its finest: you're getting a quick and effective workout while getting to your destination! The only drawback to this one, that I have found, is that if the weather is crappy, it's not nearly as much fun.
Although bikes can be expensive, they don't have to be. Check out garage sales and you can probably find an old road bike for about $20. It might not look amazing, but it will move fast, and it will be a ton of fun. I also advise making friends with some hardcore cyclists so that they can fix your bike if it needs work (far cheaper than going to the bike shop if your friends take a case of beer as payment ;)).
4) Home Gym. Buy yourself a set of dumbbells and a yoga mat and you're all set. Add a stability ball and pilates bands if you want some extra variety. If you don't want to pay for dumbbells (which can appear pricey at $30-$50, until you remember that dumbbells don't wear down: you have them for life), you can always just use soup cans. No soup cans at your place? That's okay; just use a heavy book or a small lamp (I'm not even kidding when I say that I've used books and lamps as "weights" before).
Yoga mats are expensive if you go to a specialty store such as Lululemon, but you'll get a really good quality item if you go to a store like that. On the other hand, you can go somewhere like Canadian Tire for yoga mats at about $15 a piece, and they will do the job just fine!
Workout DVD's are handy if that's "your thing"; I've only ever found one workout DVD that I really enjoyed (the 30-Day Shred). You can also find plenty of free workout videos online. Check out YouTube and Yoga Download, or just type "free exercise video" into Google and explore what comes up!
5) Gym membership. My university has a small but newly-revamped gym that is free for all students. Find out if they have a similar program at your university or at your place of work (some office buildings- usually bigger corporations- have a program like this). Take advantage of what you can; many gym memberships have student, senior, or family discounts.
The YMCA is very reasonably priced and I had a wonderful experience with the one near my place. I cancelled my membership these last few years because I had access to the free gym at my university, but I have a feeling I'll be getting another membership with the Y in the fall (because I'll no longer be a student).
6) Community classes. I keep meaning to go to the community centres in my neighbourhood to try out their cheap (and sometimes free) classes, but I have yet to get around to it. However, these are a great way to meet people and to try out new forms of exercise, such as belly dancing and kickboxing, for super cheap.
I also suggest taking advantage of deals which have a week or 10 days of unlimited classes for x amount of dollars; many yoga studios have these kinds of deals so that you can check out their studio and decide if it's something you want to keep doing.
What are your tricks to staying fit on a budget?
Don't forget to answer this month's poll about reading!

I'm not sure suckers would be the right term, What I have are small limbs that we pulled up with some roots still attached.
the leaves are wilting... probably will die and fall off. Should I cut back the limbs or trim off the limp leaves ? I have them in a mixture of pete and potting soil planted in the ground.. plan to keep them wet and hope the roots will take hold and at least stay alive. any suggestions would be appreciated. |

Why doy ou want to fool with suckers? From my experience I planted suckers and were developed into two trees. They produce figs but never ripen. I asked some fig people why? I was told sucker figs never ripen. I still have them as decorative plants no usable fruits ever. I put them in the flower bed in front of the house they look good with lots of green leaves. I think they are gays who look good but no off spring.I fertilize and water them and I get a lot of compliments from the neighbors about how good they look. I am not an expert or even close to one but this is my experience. |
Why would trees grown from suckers, once established, perform any differently than trees grown for cuttings or layering? hrhcsh, I would expect that you'd want to provide shade and humidity for your newly independent trees to mitigate moisture loss until the roots are well enough established to supply what is needed. |
- Posted by desertdance So.CA LowDesert (My Page) on Thu, Aug 2, 12 at 15:51
I would cut off all the leaves except the topmost, and cut that in half. Then treat the sucker like you would any rooted cutting. Good luck to you! |

So did the tree you got your experience from produce figs? Maybe it's a caprifig and needs the wasp. My rooted suckers from Violette D Bordeaux produce just fine. Who told you this? The person that owned the non producing fig tree? Just wondering. |
- Posted by foolishpleasure 6 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 5, 12 at 4:23
that tree does not need fig wasp it is self pollinating Brown turkey |
Hrhcsh, I am trying to do the same thing and my newly potted figs leaves are wilting also. Last night I trimmed more of them off. At this point all we can do is keep them watered (but not too much) and keep them out of direct sun while we hope for the best. Steve |

It's the first weekend of February, and Punxsutawney Phil totally saw his shadow again, which means we've got another six weeks of winter on our hands. Unless, like the National Climatic Data Center, you believe Groundhog Day is hogwash. (The party poopers say Phil's accuracy is 39 percent). Either way, it's cold as hell out there and it might be best to hibernate for the remainder of the season. My recipe for hibernation includes lots of soup, 24/7 robe time, and movies. This week's releases include tearjerker chick-flick "Dear John," adventure blowing-stuff-up movie "From Paris With Love," and an almost-funny horror flick, "Frozen." Keep reading »

Has anyone ordered from them before? The shipping seems really pricy. What experiences have you had?
Thank you,
Follow-Up Postings:
moving on down..... |
Hi Susan, I got my pubicalyx "Pink Silver" from them (they have it under a different name but it's definitely "Pink Silver"). I got a Sweet Olive from them too. I was very happy with my plants and with their shipping. They have good sized plants. In my opinion, go for it! Brad AKA Moonwolf |
Hi Susan...I've ordered from Almost Eden a few times...their plants tend to be small and their shipping rates are ridiculously high. I doubt that I'll order from them again. The hoyas from them have done very well. Fondly, Patrick |
Thanks for the comments. I did order and expecting my plants this week. My only reason to order is that I've been searching all over for the all green carnosa that has dark leaves and becomes speckled as it ages. Although, this vendor claims to have this one, there was not a picture of it on the website so I'm anxiously awaiting my order to see if I finally have the one I have been wanting for so long. Susan |
Just wanted to pop in and give the results of my order with Almost Eden. The plant sizes exceeded my expectation-lovely and large and the shipping costs, although higher than I thought they should be, were not that much out of line. Susan |
Enjoy your plants, Susan! If you can, post pictures of your new pets LOL. Brad AKA Moonwolf |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 9, 12 at 17:29
Congratulations, Susan. Was the carnosa the one you expected? |
No it wasn't. I'm happy with the plant, as I am with most thick and glossy leaved hoya, but it's just not the dark green speckled carnosa that I wanted so I guess it is not to be. LOL! Susan |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 10, 12 at 10:53
Aw :( I sure am curious about what exactly you're looking for. It seems like it would be the standard grandmother carnosa. In what way is the one you received different from what you were looking for? Appearance is very affected by growing conditions, so maybe it just doesn't look right... yet! I've read that back in its heyday there were a TON of different carnosa cultivars out there, but I don't know anyone that collects many of the subtle variants of the standard green one anymore. Too bad, I'd like to see a lineup! |
It's more of an ovate dark green leaf with speckles and has more of a trailing habit than an upright hoya. I have Carnosa White which looks similar but that looks better as a climber. The one I received from Eden was a paler green (which could darken up) with a more narrow leaf. I'm probably not explaining this well. I have seen this picture from pictures posted on gardenweb. S |
Hmm... Does anyone know if Hoya motoskei trails? Aren't the leaves on that one a bit more ovate than carnosa? Are there any experts around, since I have never seen one of those outside of photographs? |
Well, I have just ordered motoskei from Bob Smoley so I'll see if that is the one. Hopefully, it won't take too long to get here. When I need a hoya fix, I need it NOW! LOL!!! Susan |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 11, 12 at 13:05
Let us know when you get it. That was a really good theory, Kukka. If it's not that, then I'd say you should wait to see how the one from Almost Eden looks in a year. It might be that under your growing conditions, it will gradually develop the characteristics you long for. Things like leaf color and shape can vary pretty dramatically and it's sometimes hard to tell whether it's nature or nature controlling a plant's appearance. |
I don't really think it is one and the same (Motoskei) but just decided I wanted one. This forum has always been an enabler!!! |
Got a letter (snail mail) from Smoley today saying it could be 6-8 weeks before I receive my plants. Guess I'll sit back and wait and try to forget about them. Thank goodness for all the rest of the vendors who ship within the week or 2 weeks. |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 26, 12 at 13:10
LOL Hear hear. I know it would drive me crazy if I had to wait that long with everyone. But every so often it's fun waiting for that sloooooowga order. Oh, Asia. Why can't you be a little closer? I want all of your plants. |
Well needed to pop in and say that Bob Smoley is full of surprises. His hoyas arrived this morning and I'm going to have to say that his hoyas are just as beautiful or more so and a lot more hoya plant. All in all, it probably took about 2 weeks. Susan |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 27, 12 at 10:48
Congratulations! Maybe you can post a side by side picture for us now. Motoskei is one I still do not own. :) |
Well, that might not happen. Can't find the charger for my camera. Susan |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 27, 12 at 11:53
Oh, I have so been there. I wish they could invent a "small cord detector," you know, like a metal detector. And you could just do a sweep of all your purses and luggage and desk drawers. Because you know it's in the bottom of a reusable shopping bag you had in the car at the time, used to collect some stuff you needed to bring inside, and hung near the door under a coat. Sometimes I'm so organized I outfox myself. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Alice!
Facts about Alice
- Breed: Border Collie
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Alice's Info...
I am housetrained, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Alice is a 3 year old Border Collie Mix that was surrendered to the shelter by her owner. Alice doesn't know what she did wrong to end up here. She is a sweet girl who loves to be with people. SHe walks well on leash is housebroken and knows how to sit. She would love to find her forever home.
Other Pets at Associated Humane Societies
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Alice, a Tinton Falls Border Collie dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Border Collie for sale in Tinton Falls, or seeking a Border Collie dog from a breeder in Tinton Falls.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tinton Falls already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tinton Falls breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Border Collie breeders who help with Border Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tinton Falls paves the way for another one to be saved.

We are no longer taking online registrations for this workshop.
Becoming a Reiki master is a life-changing experience. In the sacred tradition of Reiki training, a Reiki master is empowered with the energetic ability to initiate others into the Reiki system of natural healing. Once that ability is hard-wired into our energetic system through master level Reiki initiation, it changes life for the better by raising our vibration and attracting situations, people, and circumstances that are in alignment with our soul's highest purpose.
In this 5-day Reiki training with Reiki master Brett Bevell, we are initiated with three master level symbols and learn how to use these symbols to deepen our own healing practice and initiate others into the Reiki system. We also explore advanced healing modalities that are beyond Reiki, including the powerful healing technique known as rei-ju, which some believe was part of Mikao Usui's original Reiki empowerment process.
This workshop is for those who want to train to be professional Reiki teachers, as well as those who want to simply deepen their healing practice and learn the ability to transmit the sacred gift of Reiki to their friends and family. All who successfully complete this training receive Reiki master certification.
Previous training in Reiki second degree is required and students must have a foundational knowledge of the three second-degree Reiki symbols. All who complete Brett Bevell's First & Second Degree Reiki Training are eligible for this training.
Faculty recommends you read the following books in preparation for the course:
The Children's Program is generally available during standard workshop hours only. Contact Omega registration at 800.944.1001 for details.
The above schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the faculty.
Reiki master Brett Bevell is author of several books, including Energy Healing for Everyone, New Reiki Software for Divine Living, The Reiki Magic Guide to Self-Attunement, and Reiki For Spiritual Healing. A poet and performance artist, he is also author of America Needs a Woman President and America Needs a Buddhist President. A Reiki master since 1995, Bevell teaches Reiki trainings worldwide.

Passover ends in a few days, and if you're looking for a good kosher beer, today's Drink of the Week has you covered (but note that if you're celebrating passover, Rejewvenator is kosher, but not passover-kosher). The second beer in the Rejewvenator series, this bold brew mixes more than 400 gallons of date juice with a doppelbock and a Belgian-style dubbel to truly unique effect. Dark, malty aromas are met by flavors of dried raisins, figs and earthy dates followed by a mellow hop bitterness on the finish. Open a bottle with friends and sip alongside some honey cake and rugelach.

"Fast & Furious 6" will open this weekend, and moviegoers are expected to turn out in full force to get a glimpse of the actions - and cars - in the film. Like its predecessors, "Fast & Furious 6" relied on real crashes and destruction to set the movie apart from other high-octane blockbusters, and director Justin Lin used as little visual effects as possible to make the action in the film more intense.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the sixth installment of the hit franchise destroyed between 300 and 400 cars. Some of the automobiles that were wrecked include rides like the 2012 Dodge Charger, 2008 BMW M5 and a 1969 Ford Mustang. Many of these cars were crushed beyond what any auto repair can do to fix it - think getting run over by tanks, falling from buildings and flying across freeways.
"I can tell you all the actual crash and destruction of vehicles is real," Dennis McCarthy, the film's car coordinator, told The New York Daily News. "That's very rare. And I think that's what keeps the 'Fast & Furious' franchise above all others, they keep it real."
In the end, millions of dollars were spent on vehicles destroyed in the movie.

I'm impressed! The last time I saw photos of Jesus, he had long flowing locks. Damn hippie! Tonight I came home to this circular:
Almost trendy! At least it's not a mullet!
Jesus has really cleaned up his act. A goatee would be better, but hey, this is 2013 and full facial hair is in again. Plus, it's nicely trimmed, if full.
I remember reading somewhere, Jesus didn't really have the Tiny Tim hair style anyway. Something about, being a carpenter, the long hair was in danger of getting caught in his band saw or power drill and then he would need to miracle himself.
Not sure of his ethnicity - Alsatian maybe?
Well, at least everyone is smiling. They all have nice white teeth, too! Another of Jesus miracles, detailed in the book of Crest.
Then there's the 6-pack abs. How did he get those? Must be the fishing. Hard work hauling in those nets. I haven't had abs like those since I was 33.
Probably not the response the mysterious visitors wanted. I wish they were here so I could discuss "Brad Pitt Jesus" with them. He's much sexier than he was before his make-over.
Maybe next time. I always think of the best thing to say hours, even days, later anyway.
I always thought that was one of the most cloying hymns I've heard.
Sounds like a possessive stalker to me!
Tells me that some people like their Savior to be up close and personal. In fact, I (a Jew who never heard it) find it crypto-sexual: can there be any doubt that the last two lines refer to post-coital ecstacy?
I don't know. When I was 16 I didn't know what "post-coital" meant, but it always sounded like an icky love song to me. I imagined a middle-aged woman who wore shapeless knit suits and orthopedic shoes, walking in her garden and dreaming about a man...any man...who would add some romance to her life. (This was in the 1950s)
The old ladies in the congregation loved it, so maybe they did secretly find it a bit of an erotic turn-on.
This link has nothing to do with the subject of this discussion, but when I mentioned "old ladies" whatever I use for a mind veered to this:
There is a sexual undercurrent in Christianity whether or not you read this particular hymn that way. Nuns are called brides of Christ and wear wedding bands. Saint Catherine of Sienna is supposed to have received Christ's foreskin from the Lord himself as a wedding band in a vision of ecstasy. Saint Teresa described a vision of ecstasy in which Christ or an angel was piercing her with his long golden spear and making her moan:
I saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the iron's point there seemed to be a little fire. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and to pierce my very entrails; when he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out also, and to leave me all on fire with a great love of God. The pain was so great, that it made me moan; and yet so surpassing was the sweetness of this excessive pain, that I could not wish to be rid of it. The soul is satisfied now with nothing less than God. The pain is not bodily, but spiritual; though the body has its share in it. It is a caressing of love so sweet which now takes place between the soul and God, that I pray God of His goodness to make him experience it who may think that I am lying.
Even in the Old Testament we find in the Song of Solomon a verse that is very suggestive:
My beloved put in his hand by the hole [of the door] and my bowels were moved for him.
We are told that this is describing the relationship between Christ and his church. Needless to say these aspects are not emphasized in Sunday School lessons.
Thanks for revealing the creepy underbelly of Catholicism as only an insider could. Not surprised, though.
Never been an insider as far as Catholicism goes, although for a time I dated an ex-nun.
All xian denominations try to get away with that bullshite about the Song of Solomon. They seem to forget that Solomon (or whoever wrote that erotica) lived hundreds of years before Saul of Tarsus invented Jesus.
Dr. Clark, would you mind giving me the cite to that Song of Solomon verse? My Dr. has me on some new medication, and I could sure use him putting his hand by the hole [of the door]? Nothing else seems to be working!
Always glad to help a religious scholar advance his/her understanding of the faith. It's Canticle 5, Verse 4.
In the KJV you will see the words of the door in italics to indicate that they are 'understood' from the context. Without them there might be a most unfortunate misunderstanding of this verse.

The email exchange Scott Hollowell did NOT release
Since school board candidate Scott Hollowell has made my editorial column published July 25 the centerpiece of his final days of campaigning, it might be helpful to include what Hollowell is omitting from the original email exchange.
Hollowell is charging that "... I've been denied publication in The Citizen ..."
That is a lie. Read the exchange below — particularly the email that explicitly conditions Hollowell's spending money with The Citizen on printing, for free, his and his supporters' letters in The Citizen — and draw your own conclusions.
Also note that Hollowell slipped right on by the question about whether he voted for Janet Smola the last election. He continues to demonstrate his stealth evasions and all-round slipperiness.
And he is just flat lying about his and his supporters' access to being published online at TheCitizen.com.
Below is that email exchange, from the beginning.
The original email from me to Hollowell.
Subject: Questions about telephone survey and your positions — 7/12/12 1:49 p.m.
Scott, last night I received (and participated in) a telephone political survey that asked only three questions about support for the T-SPLOST, Rep. Westmoreland and you.
That naturally got me curious. For the record and for publication, please answer the following questions:
1. What did you or your campaign pay for this poll and who suggested it to you?
2. What implications should I draw from this interesting confluence of you plus a congressman plus a regional sales tax? Are you all getting your backing from the same pool?
3. Rumors abound that you are the Smola-backed replacement on the BoE, intended to carry on Smola-like policies and positions in the future.
So I ask you, flat out, no slippery evasions, (1) how long have you known Janet Smola, (2) have you and she or anybody connected with her had any conversations about her decision not to run again and your subsequent decision to run in her place, (3) did you vote for Smola the last election, (4) based on what you know about school board votes in the past year (and I assume you ought to know something about those votes), how would you have voted on the following issues:
(A) Settlement of the NAACP lawsuit;
(B) Appointment of Leonard Presberg to the BoE;
(C) Selection of Presberg as chairman;
(D) The future status of Tyrone Elementary School?
Scott, I've been doing this a long, long time. I am expecting honest, up-front answers from you. Please do this voter (and other voters who will read about this) the courtesy of explicit answers ("the whole truth and nothing but the truth") to the above questions.

The following day, this is the first email I received:

Diann wants my campaign to spend more money advertising in The Citizen.
There is no reason to beat around the bush on this – you clearly support Barry Marchman and have blocked my "letters to the editor" and my supporters' "letters to the editor".
Marchman supporter "letters to the editor" are running in the Citizen even after your "policy change" email – which if you were serious about carrying through on your policy shouldn't be running.
The Citizen provides an important communication vehicle for the community. You are doing a disservice to the community by failing to provide a balance of viewpoints regarding the School Board election.
Bottom line – because of your unfairness I must state – if you want my campaign to spend advertising money – we need to come to an agreement about my letters to the editor and my supporters letters being printed.
I also found it amusing that you warned me not to be evasive or slippery.
I left 2 messages for you when I announced I was running so we would have a chance to get to know each other and you could ask me questions about my vision for the school system. You can confirm with John Munford. That is hardly the actions of an evasive candidate.
Let's talk about this.

Seven minutes later, this email from Scott Hollowell arrived in my inbox:
From: Scott Hollowell 7/13/12 3:31 PM
Regarding your questions – here are my responses:
Scott, last night I received (and participated in) a telephone political survey that asked only three questions about support for the T-SPLOST, Rep. Westmoreland and you. That naturally got me curious. For the record and for publication, please answer the following questions:
I am also curious about the poll and I have to say I do not appreciate my name being attached to other campaign issues. I do not know who is conducting this poll but it is certainly not us. I would ask you to please share information on who has put together this poll as I have a few questions for them.
Your first two questions are moot points – it isn't my poll.
1. What did you or your campaign pay for this poll and who suggested it to you?
2. What implications should I draw from this interesting confluence of you plus a congressman plus a regional sales tax? Are you all getting your backing from the same pool?
3. Rumors abound that you are the Smola-backed replacement on the BoE, intended to carry on Smola-like policies and positions in the future.
So I ask you, flat out, no slippery evasions, (1) how long have you known Janet Smola, (2) have you and she or anybody connected with her had any conversations about her decision not to run again and your subsequent decision to run in her place, (3) did you vote for Smola the last election,
I have heard this before. It is reasonable to conclude people who would like to see Barry elected are spreading the rumor, using the Citizen blogs, as their preferred method of communication. It is a malicious rumor with no foundation in truth.
Ben Nelms has seen me attending School Board meetings for the past 3 years. I have children in the school system and am a strong advocate for an excellent public school system. I have also been concerned about the financial issues impacting the school system from both the state and FCBOE. So I attend meetings, became an informed citizen and am running for School Board. Also I view the health of the FCBOE as a keystone for the community. I want to do everything possible to ensure we have a strong school system.
I am active in the community and frankly enjoy being a viable citizen of Fayette County. Fayette County is my home - I want to see it flourish and I want to serve as a member of the School Board. Having served on a number of committees and active in the business community, I know a lot of people – including Janet. I have no idea what "Smola-like policies and positions in the future" are – nor am I interested. I have my own viewpoints on ways to address challenges facing the FCBOE. As far as I'm concerned, Janet served her time as an elected school board member and has chosen to step down which opens up her seat. I am running for it and hope I get elected.
I have my opinions on the issues you listed below. What I am not privy to is the information the school board had to make their decisions. You certainly have more information per Ben Nelms expertise and FCBOE insider contacts – so I'm taking your questions as you simply asking for my "opinion" not on you dissecting a "right or wrong answer" but rather you'd like to get a sense of how I view these issues. Fair enough?
(A) Settlement of the NAACP lawsuit;
Philosophically, I am in favor of at-large voting. I would have like to have seen the School Board coordinate a defense with the County Commissioners. However, I have not been privy to legal counsel provided to the School Board or to the County Commissioners.
(B) Appointment of Leonard Presberg to the BoE;
Dr. Tolbert's death created a disruption to the school board and a new representative from his district needed to be chosen by the school board members.
I heard the candidates speak at a school board meeting and thought there was good representation of citizens who had qualifying backgrounds. I do not have the information the school board had to make their choice so I really can't say if Presberg was the best candidate. The school board voted unanimously for Presberg - clearly they felt he was the most qualified.
(C) Selection of Presberg as chairman;
The elected school board members chose him. You'd have to ask them. The important question for me is – do I think I can work with him. And yes, I do. I believe an important quality to being a good community leader is the ability to work with people with different viewpoints. I believe I can work with Leonard Presberg as well as other current school board members.
(D) The future status of Tyrone Elementary School?
I am concerned for the welfare of Tyrone if Tyrone Elementary School closes. I think there is an important community tie into Tyrone Elementary that can't be callously underestimated. There is also a costly septic tank issue, costs of running Tyrone Elementary and new school sitting vacant down the road. These are exactly the kind of problems I want to be elected to resolve.
It's easy to look at Tyrone Elementary and see a financial liability but I look beyond that. I see a community that is deeply rooted into Tyrone Elementary that will be badly hurt by its closing – because I am committed to Fayette County I want to find solutions to challenges that will benefit the growth of our County. I've got some ideas on this – but it would be premature to discuss them without having all the facts – and those will only be available to me if elected.

Next is my reply to Hollowell:
From: Cal Beverly 7/13/12 5:16 PM
Scott, you are in error that Marchman supporters' letters (for Marchman) are running in the PRINT edition of The Citizen. NO candidate or candidates' supporters' letters have appeared in the PRINT edition since the first week of July.
Please specify exactly which print edition you allege I ran a Marchman letter following the change in editorial policy announcement. You will find none.
I reviewed ALL letters to the editor that appeared in the print edition since early April. Qualifying for the posts did not occur until May 23-25. During that span up until today, only three letters have appeared in print that even mentioned the school board races:
1. April 24 — County Commissioner Steve Brown criticized Janet Smola and Terri Smith. Neither you nor Mr. Marchman, of course, had even announced your intention to run.
2. May 15 — Mary Kay Bacallao wrote about her candidacy. She did not mention you or Mr. Marchman, and of course, she is running for a completely different post than yours.
3. May 29 — Again, Steve Brown criticized Smith/Smola, but made no mention of either you or Marchman. (By the way, as many have found out in the past, had Mrs. Smola or Mrs. Smith chosen to send me a letter to the editor in defense, I would have printed it in the very next edition before any other letters.)
That's it: That's the extent of printed letters to the editor mentioning any school board races prior to July 4. Since July 4, all political candidates' or candidates' supporters' letters have been published ONLY online and NONE has appeared in the print edition.
Thus, I find NO evidence for your assertion, "... you clearly support Barry Marchman and have blocked my "letters to the editor" and my supporters' "letters to the editor". Marchman supporter "letters to the editor" are running in the Citizen even after your "policy change" email – which if you were serious about carrying through on your policy shouldn't be running."
Scott, you are wrong and I suggest you should not make unfounded accusations that cannot be supported by any cursory examination of the evidence.
ALL candidates' and candidates' supporters letters (including your announcement) have run in the online edition, where print costs are not a factor.
For example, your letter headlined "BoE Post 1 candidate Hollowell: 'More realistic and in-depth understanding'" and beginning with the line, "This is my first run for a political seat and I find my campaign for Post 1 School Board Representative invigorating," was posted online July 5 and continues to be available online.
So, please specify exactly how is it that I am "doing a disservice to the community by failing to provide a balance of viewpoints regarding the School Board election." As demonstrated above, you have not been singled out for unfavorable treatment nor has Marchman been singled out for beneficial treatment on my editorial pages to date.
As for your charge of my "unfairness," please specify exactly how I have been unfair to you so far in this campaign.
As for your spending any money with The Citizen, you will have to make that business and political decision yourself without any "agreement" with me about anything.
However, I repeat my request that you answer my original questions to you contained in my email of July 12 with the subject line, "Questions about telephone survey and your positions."
To paraphrase Forrest Gump, "Evasion is as evasion does. Slippery is as slippery does." I am being completely fair with you: Either your answers or your refusal to answer will be printed.
I also will correct your subject line, "advertising issue."
This is not an advertising issue. This is a truthfulness of candidates issue.

Hollowell replies the following day, and note that he indicates he understands that all such letters are now being published online, not in the print edition:
From: Scott Hollowell 7/14/12 12:49 p.m.
I am referring to the email that Joyce sent Phil Smelley. I'll include it below my signature line.
It is my understanding that Phil submitted and it has not appeared in the online edition.
I get the print vs online aspect of it. I understand they are not appearing in the print. I am talking about the online edition.
I did you send you the answer to your questions. You should have received them around 3:30pm yesterday. Let me know if you didn't. I have an email delivery receipt but not a "read" receipt.
I am busy during the day running my business.
If you need further clarification, you can reach me on my cell phone 770-344-9640.
I am heading out now to knock on more doors and meet more voters.

The single letter that Hollowell was referencing as not having been published was published online the following day and has been available since at this address: http://www.thecitizen.com/articles/07-15-2012/school-board-needs-hollowell.
NO letter from Hollowell or a supporter intended to be published as a letter to the editor has "been denied publication in The Citizen," as alleged by Hollowell.
Mr. Hollowell, the candidate for our school board, has been caught in a lie. He is now exposed for an interesting quid pro quo proposal involving his campaign money and publication of his free letters.
Now you know a little more about Scott Hollowell that he isn't telling.

It is so not ready for prime time to publish e-mails in the newspaper.
"The Citizen" makes the "National Enquirer" look like the "Wall street Journal" or something.
I am always astounded by the complete absence of any kind of journalistic integrity.
The depths these folks are willing to stoop to, never ceases to amaze.
The Citizen and Mr. Beverly were entirely appropriate in reprinting these emails. Understand that there was absolutely no expectation of privacy since the subject was one of real public concern--- our school board election.
Times have changed Mr./Ms. Conditon55. Perhaps you a senior like myself that grew up with libraries and no cell phones. But now the public demands and receives instant news. One can easily send a text message warning another of an approaching tsunami wave or post photos on the worldwide internet from their cell phone. I enjoy reading both the AJC and Wall Street Journal every morning. It amazes how they get things in to the print edition every day. One day print newspapers will largely disappear. If I am around I hope to adjust to that change as well. You should too !
Mr. Beverly's editorials have drawn attention outside of Fayette County and for good reason. His instantenous reporting and posting of meeting recordings in his editorial criticizing the District Attorney's misquoting the Chief Superior Court judge is a good example. It was read and absorbed at the highest levels of Georgia state government.
Though I still remain somewhat perplexed at Mr. Beverly's repitition of his 1995 editorial use of the word "Whom" in this latest effort (which I concede), I support his right to publish these editorials and to duplicate email exchanges.
If you're a political candidate and going to pick a fight with the Editor/Owner of your local newspaper, you had better be absolutely certain you're 100% right. You weren't and this doesn't make you look good at all, sir.
Scott is a likable guy. However, I think the influence of the Fayette Chamber of Commerce has made him an unlikely choice for the Board of Education. A lot of chamber has rubbed off on Scott.
Scott served loyally on the Government Affairs Committee of the local chamber. The big misconception about the chamber is people think they are a civic organization designed to promote the county. That's just not the case.
The chamber is an organization designed to protect its own. Although the members of the Government Affairs Committee go to local government meetings and Tea Party meetings to scope what is going on, their meetings are very secretive.
Those on the committee always give the appearance they are in lockstep with the chamber's marching orders. Take the TSPLOST for example, we all knew our local chamber was going to support it. The order was given to them from the Metropolitan Atlanta Chamber of Commerce months before. The peer pressure is incredible.
Personally, I think their lack of open debate and inclusion damages their status in the community. It's really too bad because there are some wonderful people in the group.
Barry Marchman is much better suited for the post at the Board of Education. He is extremely proficient on the finance side on many levels. And anyone who has followed the BOE knows they are a financial disaster.
I even find you to be a jolly good fellow, Mike. Rough around the edges but lovable down to the core.
No, Mike, I have been there and had the conversations with the ones who left.
I did not know you could be embarrassed, Mike. However, anytime you are ready to step up and fight the TDK Extensions, the under-the-table loans of a Development Authority, the Callula Hills and the TSPLOSTs, I will gladly move aside.
Get out of the back seat ;)
Me, embarrassed? Wasn't it you who was for the TDK extension before you were against it?
As for the others you mention, most would simply do what is necessary without all the fanfare that you seem to require. BTW, how many times did a county commissioner inject himself publicly regarding a zoning issue while you were mayor?
You referring to anyone as 'likeable' is a first. Please inform us as to what exactly has rubbed off on Scott from The Chamber of Commerce. You certainly have no first hand information since you are not a member of the Chamber, but tossing out slanderous comments are certainly your norm.
Your referral to 'secretive' meetings must mean that you specifically were not invited, but many of us in Fayette County have had the occasion to meet without inviting you. BTW, the Chamber is designed to promote business locally not government- a concept foreign to you.
As far as your opposition to the TSPLOST, I must take a phrase from a friend and fellow blogger, even a broken clock is right twice daily.
As far as your support for any candidate, we in Peachtree City need just to remember the time you were our embarrassment. It is time you acted like an adult instead of the publicity hound you are.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!
I always considered Scott Hollowell to be a reasonably intelligent individual until he picked a fight with Cal Beverly; a fight he had to know he could never win!
Did his supporters advise him to peruse such a reckless and foolish path? Did he get advice from his "joined-at-the-hip" pals Janet Smola, Terri Smith, Leonard Presberg and Jeff Bearden? If he did, then he really needs to step back and think about the irreparable damage that was done to his candidacy.
Quite frankly, I am glad he chose to take Cal on because we now have a better understanding of who Scott Hollowell really is.
I have often said that Scott should never be elected to the Board of Education because he lacks the financial knowledge and experience required to help Dr. Todd and Marion Key get us out of the financial mess his pals Smith, Smola, Presberg, and Bearden have gotten us into.
Jim Richter
Bye bye to Hollowell and good riddance to Smola. Maybe this will finally be the end of "Keep Woody Working".

While in the portrait gallery of the Haunted Mansion, just to be cute, after the Ghost Host states that "There's always [his] way.....," do your best Shaggy impression at the top of your lungs and scream "Zoiks!! Gee Scoob, let's get back to the Mystery Machine!!" You've got plenty of time between the pitch black and the screaming to maybe score a laugh.
I will always shout this one after a visit some years back now. I was standing beside a little boy who seemed to be a little bit shaken by the ride. I couldn't blame him; when I was a little guy, the attic and the cemetery were areas I just couldn't handle (the pop-up ghoulie heads always messed me up something fierce). In fact, if I'd admit it, I'm a little bit annoyed when kids under 8 don't seem phased in the slightest by the Mansion, but I'm digressing again. At any rate, when the lights came back up, the Shaggy impression at least helped him to smile, laugh a little, and allow his mom to take him by the hand further on into the boundless realm of the supernatural without any more protest.
Every once in a while, there really is a method to the madness.
