"Made these. We don't have a meat grinder (what vegan does??) so we did everything in the food processor. Seemed to do just fine. Also didnt want to fry to avoid oil, so we tried doing them in my daughter cake ball maker. (I know.) But it worked pretty good. Overall the flavor is pretty good, but I think if you fry them it would add that yummy fry ""

Nice! What was the process? I have some Bottle Palm seed. Any tips? |
Well,I just put them in styrophome cups with plastic wrap over them. I dont give them alot of water because the cups stay moist because I forgot to punch holes in the bottom. Thats really all I do. Hope I helped! -Hunter |
cool, I dug up my mejdool dates and they looked the same. Roots but no leaf yet, I'm hoping they pop up be fall. |

Nice hunter. How long did it take em to germinate? |
I think it took it 3 months to grow a root that long. Still no above ground action yet. |
You've got to be patient with your plants, Hunter. Digging up the sprouting seedlings doesn't do them any good. You're doing everything right to get them to sprout, so don't risk damaging the fragile sprouts. |
- Posted by loveplants2 8 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 9, 11 at 23:10
Hello Everyone, Hunter, It is very exciting to see roots..especially since this is just the beginning of your new world to growing palms, tropicals and Plumeria!!! We were all there as you are...beginning with the excitement of seeing something that you had a hand in growing, and i think its wonderful!!!! Keep up the good work... Wetsuiter does have a great point!!! We all have done this, so dont feel like you are the only one who has peeked at the rooting process!!! The best advice is to wait and not peek!!! I know it seems hard not too! Believe me!! LOL That is why i sent you a rooted Plumie...starting one for a cutting requires alot of patience and leaving the cutting alone for 6-8 weeks!!! I hope you continue to explore in the wonderful world of growing plants...its a very rewarding hobby, and i think that you will be a very good gardener!!! Keep up the positive attitude and the great excitement that you have....it will only get better!!! Take care everyone!!!! HI Vince!!!! thought of you today..i potted up some more oleander seedlings... check them out if u want..over at the Plumeria side..under Guillots Sunset and DR's....they look pretty healthy!!! Have a great night Hunter...let me know when u receive ur package... : ) Laura in VB |
Laura, good to see you back. I trust all is well and returning back to normal at home. Thanks for tempering my advice to Hunter with a motherly tone. I'd just hate for him to break off that sprout when he's been waiting so long. I'll be glad to have any of your orphans. |

Yes, it's feasible. As a consequence, we may get some complaints from users who haven't upgraded during the last six months. For users like these, we could take a snapshot of the tree before the EAPI is bumped, and archive it so they can use it to update their package manager to a version that supports the new EAPI. -- Thanks, Zac

Good Morning!
I'm hoping to get some help with choosing a new digital camera. I tried the Nikon CoolPix P500 and wasn't pleased with how long the lag time was between pictures & the focusing time....lost lots of pics of the grandkids. I'd like a camera with a good optical zoom, little lag time & still have a macro setting. I don't want to spend over $500 if I can help it:) Any suggestions would be great! Thanks for your help,

check out the Canon Power Shoot series. I have the older S2 model. later models may have corrected a few of the shortfalls. One flaw was when using the default settings, it tneded to burn out highlights. This can be fixed by moving the mode wheel from 'auto' to 'P' (programmable). Now in one of the menus, adjust the exposure to -1/3 f-stop. This adustnemt applies only when the mode wheel in on 'P'. Good features: 1. Very fast boot-up. Typically, is ready to shoot in 1/2 second after pushing the on-switch. 2. Fast image write and ready for the next shot. My delay between shots is 2 seconds, but is because I have the view time set for 2 seconds. After a shot is made, it is shows in the viewfinder or rear display for a short time to allow one to accept the shot or take another one. This delay time is adjustable and when set to zero, the required write-time between shots is very short. I find that the 2 second review time between shots works for me. 3. The auto focus is fast in good light. When the light falls below a certain level, a low level green led spot light turns on to aid focusing. This is effective over short distances. Learn where this spot window is on the camera and practice using hand positions that do not cover the spot light. My camera stores images only in jpg format. You may want a camera that can store in other formats. |

A couple of months ago we bought a house in Hudson Valley (NY) with well water. The culligan water softener quit working and I need to replace it ASAP. The water is very disgusting right now! The main numbers: I would strongly prefer a non-proprietary system. Super grateful for any advise! Thanks |

A non-proprietary system has advantages in lower cost and readily available tech info and parts. Check the Yellow Pages for independent water treatment companies. They will have ads without a brand name product and sell industry standard water treatment hardware. |
I called around. Each company seems to have different idea on what i need. However, all of them agree I need to spend $3500+ on their system :( |
Hi justalurker (nice moniker btw), thanks for the reply. Could you advise me on what size softener i need? Do i need something special for the iron and h2s? Thanks again! |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Thu, Jul 25, 13 at 19:57
Living on a well and getting the water quality you like and water that is safe is more complicated, more work, and more costly than living on a water system... no question about it. You have high hardness and a softener is required to deal with that. You have high iron and that requires another piece of hardware. All that costs money but $3500 is... well, ridiculous. It's not like you're in the middle of nowhere. Keep calling around until someone you call recognizes the words Fleck or Autotrol or Clack. Come back with the specifics a dealer recommends. |
I finally got 3 companies to return my calls: Company #1: Company #2: Company #3: Company #4: |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Fri, Jul 26, 13 at 18:55
In general a water treatment company that quotes a treatment solution without a site inspection and water test is less than professional regardless of the information that the homeowner provides. That's how things get done wrong and misunderstandings happen. That said... The Pro WS1 softener that company #1 offers is first rate and $900 is a very good price for a local company installed. Rule out #4 on cost alone unless they are including labor that is extra with the other companies. You haven't given any details on #2 or #3 so no opinion there. |

Expertise, Selection, and Respect
A spotlight on The Game Preserve, an Indiana retailer |
Fantasy Flight Retailer Spotlight | Published 29 September 2011 |
All over the world, retailers are working hard to build up the hobby game industry. Last time, we introduced you to an Alberta-based retailer; today we will be highlighting The Game Preserve, with four locations in Indiana!
The Game Preserve
Monday – Saturday: 10am to 9pm
Sunday 12pm to 6pm
Our Mission
The Game Preserve is a family of four stores located in Lafayette, Bloomington, Indianapolis, and Greenwood, Indiana. The Game Preserve started in 1980 in Indianapolis, where it was founded by Kit Newkirk. The store is now owned by Bill Lorton, with daily operations overseen by Steve Board. The mission of The Game Preserve has always been to delight our existing customers while attracting new ones by operating game stores that offer outstanding selection, expertise, and organization, and that practice kindness as their important value.
With that mission always in mind, The Game Preserve is a professionally run business where you will find cleanliness is a high priority, and where neat and orderly product displays are to be expected. This isn't your typical gamer's basement setup.
The Game Preserve carries a wide variety of products from family and hobby game categories. We are always on the lookout for new, interesting and unique games that we think would both accentuate and amplify the gaming experience for everyone.
Changing With the Times
Times have changed from 1980 to now. When The Game Preserve first started, Kit's intention was to have a store that sold a variety of Chess, Backgammon and Checkers sets and the like – thus the zebra head knight-like emblem as our logo. There was one register and her first store was at a house in a sleepy Indianapolis neighborhood called Broad Ripple. Now, each store has a facebook page where the managers and staff keep in touch with all of their customers. We have a community site (Gamepreservestores.com) we use to keep our customers informed about upcoming events and product reviews. We also have an online retail presence both through our website and amazon.com.
The Fashion Mall Commons store is a sponsor of The Spiel (thespiel.net), a game review podcast based in Indianapolis and founded by a former employee, Stephen Conway and a current employee Dave Coleson. The Greenwood store, started in 1998, is the largest in square footage of all the stores. Both our Bloomington and Lafayette stores began together in 1994 due to the popularity of Magic: The Gathering, and have become staples in their respective college rival cites.
A Mainstay
In those 30 plus years from then to now, we have seen game companies come and go. Some to no one's surprise, others were part of the evolutionary process of the gaming industry. With the internet's implacable growth over the past decade and a half, the gaming industry itself has seen more game development than ever before. And Fantasy Flight has not only kept its head above all others in the ever-growing crowded room of game publishers, but has become one of the supporting pillars of its corner of the industry. Fantasy Flight is an integral part of our "strat" line of products. From Twilight Imperium to The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, a customer will discover Fantasy Flight is a mainstay to any Game Preserve. FFG has not only embraced technology but has incorporated it into the local game store's establishment.
When we first heard about the Fantasy Flight Media Center, we were intrigued. The Media Center has been an interesting addition to the Game Preserve – Fashion Mall Commons store. Over the past year since it first arrived it's been more than a simple curiosity. Mainly, customers have used it as a library of sorts trying to find that game they "heard about" or learn about a game that they've never heard of. It's been a unique experience to see customers interact with the Media Center and look up different games.
Being in business for over 30 years means The Game Preserve is here for the long haul. One thing that won't ever change is this: The Game Preserve treats all customers with respect and graciousness. The Game Preserves are clean, well organized stores that are friendly, fun, and welcoming to anyone... veterans to games and rookies alike. Kindness is part of its foundation and will continue on long after other game stores have come and gone.
If you are a retailer who is interested in participating in our Retailer Spotlight and having your store featured, or if you are interested in more information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
I was a regular at the Bloomington location when I was going to Grad School. It really is top notch. I miss it!
Yeah, I spent some serious cash here too. On-going preorder of all things Dust. I finally get to see a picture of the guy that beat me out on the Dust Tactics Core set. All you had to do was post a brief review of the game and your name was entered into a drawing.
Sweet. If I visit a brick and mortar store....then it's always my Castleton Game Preserve !!
Drakkenstrike Videos Store of Choice !!!
I live a block from Game Preserve Greenwood. I just have my paycheck delivered to Lyle, the manager... It's easier that way.
Wow! My brother told me about visiting that place! It's cool to see it featured. (I probably won't make it over there, seeing as I'm on the west coast.)
Yay! I've spent more money than I care to imagine at that place.
40K & MTG seem to be the mainstays, but they are always good at carrying a big stock of the FFG products.

How many of you either think or know you started your seeds too early? I couldn't resist and started most of my seeds a week ago. Looking at the size of the plants I started one month ago (they were as a test since it is my first time) and a last frost date of about May 16 I am starting to get scared I won't have enough room under my lights. Are you in the same boat? |

Yep. :) I figure ill give away most of my tester plants and start new ones tomorrow. |
I can never resist either, but this year I found a number of annuals that take a long time. They satisfy my growing needs. the Begonias and Lisianthus that I started in Jan are still tiny. The lettuce arugula, cilantro and basil I planted in Jan I am eating now :) I also started Geraniums, Petunias and bedding Dahlias really early. That was maybe a mistake as they are already in 9 oz cups, and I am hoping they will stay happy for another 2 months. I do admit to buying 6 more lights. Peppers and Eggplant were started this weekend. I'll start more annuals and cole crops next week, and pray that this snow melts by mid April. |

wreckitriz, I was thinking the same thing with my testers but I am getting attached to them. First flowers showed up yesterday on the Alyssum Carpet of Snow. Anxiously awaiting the Cosmos and Vanilla Marigolds to show some color!!! Fortunately I killed most of my testers or I would be move over run than I am now. mandolls, I also have to admit to buying (ordered) another 4' 8 tube T5HO light. I wonder if there is a 12 step program for this? |
I can think of using tomatoes and peppers seeds that need to be planted in pots; about 6 weeks before planting them outside. I had planted these in pots and then directly in garden as well. They grow better & faster in the garden as compared to pots. |
I think I've always started too early. I don't do vegetables. I count on my brother for those. I do some annuals and mostly perennials. This year I promised myself I would NOT start until March 21. I'm doing a little experiment this year. I ordered plug trays this year rather than using the larger Jiffy starter trays. We use plugs at the University I attend, and I have found the root system to be much more vigerous in the plugs. It will mean transplanting to larger pots rather than putting them right in the ground, but oh well. Also, anything that is a late starter can go into the greenhouse for a few more weeks before going into the beds. |

Welcome to Georgetown's History major!
The study of history encompasses every dimension of human interaction, from social life to economy, from religious experience to artistic expression, from culture to family, from ideas to politics, etc., in their complex inter-relations over time. Students of history learn about individuals, groups, communities, nations, or empires from every perspective, employing a variety of approaches and techniques to raise questions and search for answers. The study of history is thus one of the best ways to challenge our ideas and assumptions about the world, because it leads us to question the simplified accounts of the world and of its problems that we all encounter in our daily lives. Because of the integrative approach that is at the core of historical study, knowledge of history moreover expands our ability to engage with complex causal analysis and gives us the opportunity to explore changes and continuities in all spheres of human endeavor, and to understand the human experience as a process of dynamic evolution. Thus, knowledge of history is central to becoming an engaged and informed citizen, attuned to the complexities of the modern world and prepared to play a constructive role in it.
Georgetown undergraduates who choose to major in history will benefit from the Department's thoughtfully structured program and have access to a variety of courses on many and diverse world regions, time periods, and topics and themes. They will also improve their critical reading, writing, and analytical abilities and develop strong research skills. The history program also encourages majors to explore significant connections between history and other disciplines, and easily allows opportunities to study abroad.
If you are considering majoring in history, please explore the information available on this web site, and feel free to consult with the Department's faculty and with current history majors.

Consumers paying interest after falling behind on their credit card bills may soon be getting some relief.
The Senate is working on a plan that would allow cardholders to regain lower interest rates if consumers pay their bills on time for six months.
Republicans say lenders should be able to take into account a person's behavior.
Democrats say hiking up interest rates on past balances prevents consumers from climbing out of debt.
The bill is a compromise between the two ideas. It's also part of a broader credit-card reform package. The legislation is expected to pass this week with President Obama's support.

We just got new roof, 5/4 x 8" facia and 6" tall custom facia gutters. Our home is 1976 L-shaped rambler. The gutter in the front was designed with about 50 feet of flow for one downspout. (It runs across the front door, along the bedrooms to the garage - the inside corner of the "L"). The downspouts go underground to drain to a small pond. This long section of gutter starts at the front door and is actually a little low - water depth is about 1/2" deep after it has not rained a couple of days. The house has settled and this part of the house is slightly lower than the garage. The gutter guy said he tried to make the gutters run to the downspout, but because of the lenght and unlevel roof/facias, it was impossible to go too low without the gutters looking funny. We discussed adding a second downspout, but it would be right at the front door and would not look good and would have nowhere to tie in to the drainage. Gutter guy said current situation is not ideal, but would be ok as we live in Seattle and it rarely freezes and aluminum gutters will never rust.
Question: Should I have him lower the gutter at the downspout anyway? Should I add a second downspout maybe into a water cistern? Consequences if I leave it "as is"? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There is a proper way to size gutters and downspouts for a particular size and slope of roof. Have your contractor do it or google it on the internet. There's no reason to guess. |
Peak rainfall rates are available and can be used to decide gutter sizes, number of downspouts, and even pitch required. They use to be in the old BOCA plumbing code, but I have not looked in the new I-codes. |

The excellency of brotherly love.
- We cannot say too much, it were well if enough could be said, to persuade people to live together in peace. It is good for us, for our honour and comfort; and brings constant delight to those who live in unity. The pleasantness of this is likened to the holy anointing oil. This is the fruit of the Spirit, the proof of our union with Christ, and adorns his gospel. It is profitable as well as pleasing; it brings blessings numerous as the drops of dew. It cools the scorching heat of men's passions, as the dews cool the air and refresh the earth. It moistens the heart, and makes it fit to receive the good seed of the word, and to make it fruitful. See the proof of the excellency of brotherly love: where brethren dwell together in unity, the Lord commands the blessing. God commands the blessing; man can but beg a blessing. Believers that live in love and peace, shall have the God of love and peace with them now, and they shall shortly be with him for ever, in the world of endless love and peace. May all who love the Lord forbear and forgive one another, as God, for Christ's sake, hath forgiven them.
Psalms 133:1-3 . The blessings of fraternal unity.
1, 2. As the fragrant oil is refreshing, so this affords delight. The holy anointing oil for the high priest was olive oil mixed with four of the best spices ( Exodus 30:22 Exodus 30:25 Exodus 30:30 ). Its rich profusion typified the abundance of the Spirit's graces. As the copious dew, such as fell on Hermon, falls in fertilizing power on the mountains of Zion, so this unity is fruitful in good works.
3. there--that is, in Zion, the Church; the material Zion, blessed with enriching dews, suggests this allusion the source of the influence enjoyed by the spiritual Zion.
commanded the blessing--(Compare Psalms 68:28 ).

Danier also sells leather care products, but all Danier branded, I think.
^^^ I don't think so. Obviously very casual, and I think it's meant to have that rumpled look on the sleeves, based on the fact that the bodice is the correct length. It could be argued that the shoulders should be a little narrower, the bodice a little shorter, and the sleeves much much shorter, but, again, I think this particular jacket is meant to look a bit haphazard, so really precise and perfect tailoring would actually look out of place. So it comes down to whether you like this look. I think the deep-plunging v-neck T takes it over the line into douchebaggery, personally.
Would you consider this to be too large of a fit?
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Yes, I would definitely consider that too large. Especially the right sleeve simply looks weird to me. But then again, this is not an outfit/style I would wear, so maybe I am mistaken. Might be a better question for the streetwear and denim section?
For a business interview, it depends. The standard advice is to wear a suit. Also, I wouldn't wear a black tie because it is a bit too formal and stiff. I'd wear a blue tie to indicate trustworthiness so to speak; red is too dominating, unless it's a sales position or one where you need to be more assertive, in which case I'd use a reddish tie.
...anyway, I've spent a good amount of time thinking about the color of ties and what to wear where, so I might just be overthinking it!
I was looking for some advice in buying a basic suit- I have separate jackets but no coats except for a hideous thing I'd rather die than wear in public. So I'm looking for something... well, conservative obviously, no more than $750 hopefully, and leaning towards an English style if a little American, but certainly not Italian- moderately slim but not excessively so, I'm 185 on a good day with a 36 waist, 6'1'' and not yet 21. So something that doesn't betray the little stomach yet doesn't make me look like I'm wearing my grandfather's suit. (I'm open towards hearing the merits of the sack suit, however). Navy, I'd imagine.
I was thinking the BB Madison or Fitzgerald... not sure what else.
Is buying a used (pre-owned!) suit on ebay a completely silly thing to do? While browsing I found someone selling 3 Hickey Freeman suits in my size, and am considering biting. So A. Is this a bad idea, B. what should I look out for, and C. what is a ballpark fair price. I'm assuming anything over $200 is bad, as they can commonly be had at NM Last Call for sub-$500.
Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Something We Can Learn From the Harold Camping Nonsense
Posted by jlwile on May 23, 2011
I am sure that you've probably read everything you want to read about Harold Camping and his failed prediction that the Rapture of the church would occur on May 21, 2011. However, I would like you to indulge me for just a moment, because I think his failed prediction can actually teach us something about how we Christians need to respect the Bible a bit more than we currently do.
Look at the picture of the van above. It proclaims Camping's prediction of the coming Judgment, but note what it says on the bottom right. It says, "The Bible Guarantees It." Now, of course, anyone who knows much about the Bible knows that it actually guarantees that no one (not even the angels) knows the hour or the day of Christ's return (Matthew 24:36). Thus, to say that the Bible guarantees Camping's prediction is absurd.
Unfortunately, however, many Christians make one of the the same mistakes that Harold Camping made. They may not be so Biblically illiterate as to think they can state the date of the Rapture, but they do claim the Bible says something when, in fact, the Bible doesn't even come close to saying that.
Consider, for example, what Answers in Genesis says when discussing the scientific evidence for a young solar system:
Recent observations confirm that the universe is only a few thousand years old, as the Bible says.
The problem is, the Bible says no such thing! If the creation days were 24-hour days (or roughly that long), if the genealogies in Genesis 5 and 11 contain every name (or almost every name) that is a part of the genealogy, if we make certain assumptions about how long generations have been throughout history, and if you are measuring the age of the universe with time as it passes on earth, then the universe is roughly 6,000 years old.
In other words, given certain assumptions, we can conclude from what the Bible says that the universe is roughly 6,000 years old. However, the Bible doesn't say that. Now don't think I am splitting hairs here. There is a huge distinction between what the Bible says and what I conclude from what the Bible says.
I believe the Bible is inerrant. Thus, I believe that what it says (in its original autographs) is absolutely true. However, what we conclude from what the Bible says is not inerrant, because our conclusions might be based on faulty reasoning, faulty assumptions, or both. So the phrase "the Bible says" means something entirely different from the phrase "here is what I conclude from what the Bible says." When people fail to make that distinction, they open the Bible up to ridicule, as Harold Camping did.
Of course, the age of the earth is not the only example of Christians claiming that the Bible says something it really doesn't say. You can find those who claim the Bible says the Flood discussed in Genesis 6-8 was not global. Others tell you that the Bible says to diversify your income sources. You can even find those who say the Bible claims the earth has a speed of zero through space. The fact is that the Bible makes no such claims. The authors of these websites conclude those things from what the Bible says. Thus, while the Bible cannot be wrong, every one of those websites could be wrong.
If we respect Scripture, we should make a strong distinction between what the Bible actually says and what we conclude from it. If we don't, we make one of the same mistakes Harold Camping made.
17 Responses to "Something We Can Learn From the Harold Camping Nonsense"-
The thing that I was most annoyed by wasn't actually his prediction, groundless as it is, nor his saying that it would occur at a set time in each time zones and follow the earth's rotation which is also contradicted by the verses in support of a rapture (some will be in the field/some in bed). It was the fact that so many people were willing to believe him, and take such drastic actions, when the Bible clearly contradicts what he was saying in both those ways. What is the world coming to when Christians believe the interpretation of another man, not even their own interpretation, over the word of God.
I agree completely that we must not elevate our interpretation of what the Bible says to the level of What the Bible says. However we are then left with the question of what can we trust? Certainly not someone else's interpretation!
Dr. Wile:
I appreciate that you recognize that there is some ambiguity in the Scriptures regarding the age of the Earth. I know that many of your fellow young-earth creationists don't like to hear that.
I would like to point out that the Scriptures are similarly ambiguous about the extent of Noah's flood. I agree that the link you provided advocating a local flood goes too far, claiming that the the Bible requires a local flood.
Here is a brief Biblical case for a local flood:
1. Bible translators often need to make difficult decisions. There are a number of Hebrew words that could be translated by more than one English word. It is interesting to read Genesis 7:17-24 with the following translation choices in mind:
–earth could be just as legitimately translated as land
–mountains could be just as legitimately translated as hills
–heavens could be just as legitimately translated as sky.With these substitutions, the passage ends starts with: "For forty days the flood kept coming on the land, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the land. The waters rose and increased greatly on the land, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. They rose greatly on the land, and all the high hills under the entire sky were covered…"
The passage takes on a very different feel when read with a few minor changes.
2. Genesis 7:20 could be translated, "the flood rose more than twenty feet, and the hills were covered." While this would still be a locally catastrophic event, there is no need to insist that the flood covered the highest points on the Earth.
3. The Table of Nations in Genesis 10 only lists nations in the Middle East, Asia Minor, North Africa, and other nearby areas. It seems to be quite a stretch to make this list include everyone from the Aztecs to the Zulus.
Was the flood global in extent or more localized? The Bible is not clear on this, so we should leave room for alternative interpretations.
One more point: the Bible nowhere states that the flood created the sedimentary rock record. Flood geology is something that is read into the text by young-earth creationists, rather than something that flows out of the text.
Grace and Peace,

Very well said!!
"The Bible cannot be wrong"
Wow, that's a pretty big assumption, bet the followers of Harold felt just the same, lol. As far as I know The Bible was not handed down from the heavens, and even if it was absolutely true when it was written down, it has been twisted and manipulated even into even more fireside fantasy. Not hard to imagine what craziness a biblical version of Harold Camping could have whipped up.
Hehe, maybe, but that's your conclusion.
And I agree the "Campers" should have known from his record, Camping should have been more vague, or at least kept his "calculations" a trade secret.
Dr. Wile,
Amen and amen regarding the lunacy of Campingism. One would think that by now his audience would dwindle to zero, but evidently he is already rallying followers with the next predicted date.
I agree with you about the inerrancy of Scripture in the original manuscripts, but I also lean towards the regional/local (although universal) Genesis flood. You've probably already read this (or the like), but I thought this presented a decent case for a local flood:
Grace to you,
DavidPS Have you seen the Great Homeschool Convention Mediation Report recently issued regarding Mr. Ham and AIG? I know this was a big can of worms on your blog not long ago.
While I agree that the words of others on what the Bible means are not to be taken as having the same authority as the Gospel itself, this tale does illustrate the danger of only considering the individual interpretation. It was after all largely Camping's decision not to listen to the words of his fellow Christians that brought about such a wretched ending.
MoreIn my opinion this illustrates the importance of a trialogue, a three way conversation including our own reason the collective wisdom of the Church and most of all the wisdom of God, before becoming dogmatic on anything at all.
A very interesting discussion. I do believe that God is able to keep His Word (ie The Bible) intact through the ages and has done so, regardless of what human opinion may be on the matter. In the Bible He says He has magnified His Word above His name (Ps 138:2). So we should definitely take note of that. We also do need each other and can learn from each other. But the Word of God itself (or perhaps I should say "Himself") still has preeminence. The Word says that The Spirit of Truth will lead us into all Truth (John 16:13). Our foremost dependence must be on the Lord and His Word, trusting Him to do the leading. And how do we really know that what we are believing is true? The Word also says You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free (John 8:32). If we are believing the Truth we will be coming to greater and greater degrees of freedom in our lives. As a pastor I had to relinquish the things I thought were true inorder to embrace what the Lord says is True. That was a very difficult time for me but I had to humble myself and let the Lord blow my theological boats out of the water, which thankfully He did and still is. I found out that I had actually been depending more on my theology than on Him. Bottom line is that no matter how much I think I know, my total dependence needs to be on Him – that is a process for all of us. It will be so awesome when we all meet in heaven and see the Truth about these things. We will all rejoice together in His Truth and Love on that day. In the meantime this is a great time of sharing and learning….
Well said, thank you for reminding me to continue being true to scripture!

Katey, I had the same question, so I went poking around further on the site. While I definitely think it would be better to have links to the samples directly on the pages for the chosen curriculum, here is the link where you can view samples of everything, including the nursery program: http://www.gospellight.com/catalog.aspx?mode=freesampledownload?gag=User-Registered
is there a way to view or purchase a sample of the curriculum before purchasing?

QuickBooks 2013 Changes to Transaction Forms
Along with the changes to the user interface in QuickBooks 2013 there are a number of changes in the appearance, and function, of forms based transactions. You'll see these changes (with some variations) in 13 transaction types in QuickBooks: Invoices, sales orders, estimates, sales receipts, credit memos, purchase orders, bills, item receipts, receive payments, credit card charges, checks, general journal entries and receive items.
I'm going to use an invoice transaction as my example, but each of the forms based transactions generally have the same changes.
Here's a sample invoice from Quickbooks 2012 as a reference point.
Now let's take a look at the invoice window from QuickBooks 2013. I've already discussed a number of issues relating to the changed user interface in my earlier article.
All the elements seem to be here that we had before, but there are two big changes:
- Changing the top icon bar in the window to a ribbon, which organizes features in a different way and provides (hopefully) easier access to many features.
- An updated layout, which includes font changes, spacing changes, and more height in the detail lines.
The Transaction Form Ribbon
I think that a lot of people are going to not like this at first, mainly because it is different than what you are used to. If you have been using QuickBooks for awhile you know where to find things, and now it's all changed around.
However, after using this for awhile, I'm getting used to it and I like it. It makes sense to find an operation here rather than having to fumble around for it. One good example would be Save as PDF – in QuickBooks 2012 I would look for that in the File menu, not associated directly with the invoice transaction window. Now it is an option under the Save icon in the transaction's ribbon. The ribbon gathers all of the features that have been scattered about in different menus, gathers up features that used to be check boxes somewhere in the bottom of the form cluttering things up (they've been proliferating lately), and arranging them in an organized fashion so you can easily find them.
A lot of discussion has gone into what icons to add to the main tab, and I'm sure that there won't be an agreement on what makes sense. Let's take a look at the four tabs in the ribbon for the invoice form.
The main tab has what should be the most common operations on a daily basis. Saving, memorizing, printing, attaching documents and so forth.
Formatting includes features related to the template for the form, although there are a few other features thrown in here. One of my favorite changes here is that if you click the Customize Data Layout button (formerly Customize) you no longer get that really annoying screen about creating a design with the online form designer (which I rarely ever use). Thanks, Intuit!
Most of the features in Send/Ship were found in the File menu, a couple of menu levels deep. Some icons found here are duplicates of what you'll see in the Main tab, but I like that. Here's a good example of how this new arrangement improves things – feature discovery. One person commented that she didn't even know that QuickBooks supported USPS as a shipping option until she saw it in this tab.
Reports has, oddly enough, the reports.
The content of the ribbon will change from form to form, but the general layout is the same, and from a quick look I'd say that they have been very consistent about what icon goes on which tab in different forms. You won't see all of the same tabs on each form, as some forms don't have the same options (such as formatting or shipping). Here's the Enter Bills form for another example.
One of the common complaints about some forms, such as invoices, has been that it is difficult to see all of the information on the form. With the user interface changes in QuickBooks 2013 this is getting to be even more critical. Not only do we have the transaction pane on the right, now we have the icon bar on the left, and the larger ribbon on the top. It is getting harder to see the invoice itself! However, Intuit has added some simple ways to collapse these extra "panes".
The simplest way is to use Full Screen Mode. In each of these transaction form windows you will see a new icon in the upper right corner: . Click this, and it will minimize the ribbon, minimize the transaction pane, minimize the left icon bar, and expand the form to fill the entire window, all with one click.
You can also control the individual panes/features if you want to hide just a subset of the navigation elements. The transaction pane, left icon bar and even the ribbon can be individually collapsed.
Layout Changes
There are a lot of changes to the layout that go beyond the ribbon. I'm not entirely happy with all of the changes.
- Some things are squeezed into too small a space, such as the addresses. I wish I could see all of the address (compare this to QuickBooks 2012). There is more white space, which is a good thing in general, but they could have done this a bit better.
- Some people (like me) may have problems with the light gray font that is used for many labels. The contrast is too poor if you have old tired eyes like mine. Also, isn't a light gray color supposed to indicate a field that isn't enabled, that you cannot select?
- The detail lines are less cramped, more space is given vertically, which helps readability. Unfortunately, that also means fewer detail lines are visible at one time, which can be a problem on smaller monitors.
Much of this has been discussed in the general user interface discussion in my earlier article.
Oops, Something Missing?
You've heard me say this several times already, and I'll repeat it often: You shouldn't use the R1 release of QuickBooks in a "production environment". It is OK for testing and training, but there will always be bugs in the R1 release.
Here's an example. One of the good features of the Ribbon design is that features that are scattered about in different places are now gathered together in one place. This is good! But, that means that Intuit has to FIND all these scattered features and put them in the Ribbon. In R1, they missed one thing (that I know of).
QuickBooks Billing Solution is an optional feature that lets you get paid via credit card in conjunction with a QuickBooks Merchant Service account (this is NOT the Intuit PaymentNetwork feature), or to have Intuit mail a physical copy of an invoice for you (for a fee). If you use this, the check boxes that you need to use to allow online payments or to mail the invoice don't appear in the Ribbon where they should.
Not a big problem unless you rely on that feature. I'm sure that this will be fixed in the next release.
In-Product Advertising
Intuit always finds a way to sneak in a little in-product advertising. In the past it was a case of hitting you over the head – popup windows and things like that. They got a lot of negative feedback. As time went on they started making it a bit less intrusive, but it is still there.
The Ribbon interface for forms seems to be a new venue for this kind of thing (note, this could change as the product rolls out). For example, see this icon in the Estimate ribbon?
Click that and you are taken to the Intuit App Center page for an app by Mavenlink.
I noticed an Intuit Payment Network icon in the Invoice window, similar to the Mavenlink icon in Estimates.
One Confusing Thing
In the Customer Center Intuit has added some new fields: Other 1, Other 2 and Other 3. These are new fields you can use in the Customer record. I hate the names.
These are NOT the same "Other" fields that you will see if you edit a form template. Confusing!
My Conclusion
All in all, I like the improvements, other than the choice of font colors (and some small fonts). It may take some getting used to, but after using it for awhile I find that the new ribbon format is very easy to use. It is better to have all of the operational features right there in the same place, rather than scattered about. I hope that the font/color issues will be addressed in a future release.
However, if you must stick with a smaller monitor, you may find that this doesn't work for you.

Hi Charlie,
I just upgrated to 2013 and I like it! -
Thanks for pointing out all the ways to collapse the panels, I hadn't noticed some of them.
On the Ribbon, at least Microsoft makes a point of providing a way to use keyboard shortcuts on the Ribbon. So far I can't see any of that in QuickBooks.
No matter how large my monitor, the content of the form itself ( such as invoices)shows less and less lines. I wish they would sacrifice some of the "pretty" white space instead of hiding the navigational tools. Almost a third of the screen is below the form where a relatively few fields are displayed.
Thank you Charlie for your reviews and insights! Much appreciated!
First, I agree with your comments re: the small, gray field titles. Bigger and brighter is better than smaller and faded…
While I like a lot of the changes, they have actually SUBTRACTED space in critical fields (Customer:Job name, Class, Template, etc.) You can't begin to see the content in those fields unless you hover and view the 'tooltip' (especially in the Customer:Job field). Nearly all of my clients use Jobs under Customers and it's pretty impossible to tell what job we're looking at!
With all of the extra 'gray bar' space at the top of the form, I would have liked to have had them EXPAND the visibility rather than subtracting from it. I.e., I'l like to be able to quickly see the content of those those critical fields as I'm reviewing transactions without having to hold my mouse over each field…
Thanks for listening!
Hi Charlie,
I asked this question when you started talking about QB 2012 at this time last year…..and the answer then was no. Hoping for a yes for 2013:
Did Intuit change the Enter Bills screen to allow the class for the entire bill to be entered at the top of the bill, instead of line item by line item? (Currently you can enter the class like this for Sales Receipts and for Invoices, but not Bills.) (Assuming you have classes turned on.)
With the new interface and new look….I'm crossing my fingers….
OK, well. Dang. I just looked at the screen shots again in this post, and I answered my own question. No.
I don't like the invoice changes and wish that I had the option to default to the 2012 invoice view. Is there such a way?
Purchased QuickBooks Pro 2012 in early 2012. Really haven't used it much yet because my business has had so few transactions. Prepared a PO today for the first time and tried to modify the company info and logo. It worked well until I got the message that I passed the 30 day period and I must pay another $4.99 to make any changes! Wow – and the payment is only good for changes in the next 60 days. So now I know that there is NOT and inherent form editor in QuickBooks. Editing must use the internet based editing software and you have to pay every 60 days that you want to use it. Don't think I'll upgrade to the 2013 product.
Hi Charlie,
I work in a small company and we have a long standing disagreement going on here on how best to accomplish something seemingly simply\e. Perhaps you could help me out?
We would like to use estimates to get quotes to our customers, however, the entity that we provide with the quote is different from the entity that ultimately transacts with us on the sales order and invoice. When we go back and look at a quote and want to convert it to a sales order, we have issues in that the customer name has to be changed on the sales order which proves to be problematic for our accounting department. Can you help?
I have been using QB for years; in fact I still have an old floppy disc set of one of the first programs Quicken, as it was once called. I have recently upgraded from 2010 to QB 2013 and never been as frustrated in my life with what should be an easy to us software program. This upgrade concentrates more on whistles and bells rather than what the purpose of Quick Books is support to be about. Small business no wanting to spend vast amounts of time trying to input the basic of information and figures. The on screen fields on the new invoice, estimating and others are that small you can barely get two lines in the description boxes you have to scroll up and down to see what's on the document. the customer job box on my invoice only shows part of the customer job, not the beginning of the name or the end but the middle, the bill to box does the same, it misses vital first glance information off, you end up having to scroll everything which in my opinion makes it slow books not quick. I think if it's not broken why fix it unless you're running out of ideas and changing what you've got is better than stagnating. QB please, unless you are coming up with genuine new features and not just trying to reinvent the wheel leaves it alone. PS does anyone know how to revert back to 2010.
I am having a problem with my classes in quick books. We use our classes to track income and expenses by salesmen and I noticed that running the P&L by class report that there was an invoice classed incorrectly I opened the invoice and changed the class but when I save the invoice and refreshed the report the income did not change to the corrected class. Instead it stayed with the old class. When I reopened the invoice, it was showing the corrected class in the class field but the changes do not carry over to the refreshed report. This seems to be a new issue as I have had QB 2013 since January and ran many reports and made class changes in the fashion before and they always carried over to the reports. I have searching forums for someone with a similar problem and have yet to have any luck. Have you ever encountered this issue before and if so do you know any fixes?
I have QuickBooks pro 2013. We recently switched credit cards and put the new one in the system but when I go to the credit card charges the old credit card is still the default that automatically pops up and I have to click on the arrow and select the correct one. How do I change it so that the new one is automatically chosen?
Is there anyway to get the PO field on a bill to be activated instead of grayed out? And does the PO not show up on reports because it is grayed out?

Home Kent Business County News Article
Patrick Gower, owner of The Camera and Hi-Fi Centre in West Street, Sittingbourne, was a familiar face in town.
Born in Willesborough, Ashford in 1932, Mr Gower was inspired to take up a career in the photographic industry after leaving school, when his mother Violet, wife of Wilfred, showed him how films were developed and printed.
He found the process fascinating and became interested in the mechanics of cameras.
Mr Gower began his career as a shop assistant working in London and Ashford, before he was called up for national service with the RAF where he worked as an aircraft mechanic.
He was later employed as a manager in an Ashford photographic store and then met Phyllis Newman, who he married in July 1957. The couple had two sons, Ian and Robin.
His career continued apace and after becoming manager for Sittingbourne photographic shop CP Studios, he achieved his ambition of owning his own business when he opened The Camera Shop, next to the cinema, before moving to the The Camera and Hi-Fi Centre premises.
Mr Gower's son Ian said of his father: "He was very successful, due to his hard work, happy and cheerful nature and great knowledge of cameras.
"Always the gentleman, with a great sense of humour, he was always willing to help others and was loved by many."
Mr Gower, retired in 1993, spending his time with wife Phyllis in the couple's holiday home on the Isle of Wight and pursing his hobbies of gardening, decorating and selling vintage cameras.
The devoted family man was grandfather to Mark, 22, Sarah, 20, Tania, 20 and Carl, 18. His last few months were spent in Whitfield Care Home, near Dover, where he died peacefully on January 23.

0Oct 17, '12 by CL2244Moving to Colorado was the absolute worst mistake ever, along with pursuing a career in nursing!! I truly feel compassionate about nursing and as if there's no other career I would rather do, but no one will give me a chance to even step into nursing. It is completely sad and disgusting the way the nursing field is and no one even bothered to tell me during nursing school. I have never tried so hard and filled out so many applications in my life and still 6 months after getting my license...No where. I can't even find a full time position as a caregiver!!! I would have known this, then I would never have gone to nursing school to begin with. Seriously pathetic, those nurse who graduated even 5-10 years ago didn't face this hard of a time finding a job. I wish that they told me in nursing school what a hopeless chance of a career this is! If this issue continues the way it is now, we will have a real nursing shortage!!
