Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me! | 1 I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness; but you are already doing that. |
2 I feel a divine jealousy for you, for I betrothed you to Christ to present you as a pure bride to her one husband. | 2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. |
3 But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. | 3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. |
4 For if some one comes and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you submit to it readily enough. | 4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. |
5 I think that I am not in the least inferior to these superlative apostles. | 5 But I do not think I am in the least inferior to those "super-apostles." |
6 Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not in knowledge; in every way we have made this plain to you in all things. | 6 I may not be a trained speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way. |
7 Did I commit a sin in abasing myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God's gospel without cost to you? | 7 Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge? |
8 I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you. | 8 I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you. |
9 And when I was with you and was in want, I did not burden any one, for my needs were supplied by the brethren who came from Macedo'nia. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way. | 9 And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so. |
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this boast of mine shall not be silenced in the regions of Acha'ia. | 10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine. |
11 And why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do! | 11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do! |
12 And what I do I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. | 12 And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. |
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. | 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. |
14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. | 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. |
15 So it is not strange if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds. | 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve. |
16 I repeat, let no one think me foolish; but even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. | 16 I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting. |
17 (What I am saying I say not with the Lord's authority but as a fool, in this boastful confidence; | 17 In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would, but as a fool. |
18 since many boast of worldly things, I too will boast.) | 18 Since many are boasting in the way the world does, I too will boast. |
19 For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves! | 19 You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise! |
20 For you bear it if a man makes slaves of you, or preys upon you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face. | 20 In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or pushes himself forward or slaps you in the face. |
21 To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one dares to boast of--I am speaking as a fool--I also dare to boast of that. | 21 To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that! What anyone else dares to boast about--I am speaking as a fool--I also dare to boast about. |
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I. | 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham's descendants? So am I. |
23 Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one--I am talking like a madman--with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death. | 23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. |
24 Five times I have received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. | 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. |
25 Three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. Three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been adrift at sea; | 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, |
26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brethren; | 26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers. |
27 in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. | 27 I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. |
28 And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure upon me of my anxiety for all the churches. | 28 Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. |
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant? | 29 Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn? |
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. | 30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. |
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for ever, knows that I do not lie. | 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever, knows that I am not lying. |
32 At Damascus, the governor under King Ar'etas guarded the city of Damascus in order to seize me, | 32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me. |

Jessica L. Old Bear Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings, on August 10, 2011, before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, JESSICA L. OLD BEAR, a 28-year-old resident of Wyola, pled guilty to assault resulting in serious bodily injury. Sentencing has been set for November 9, 2011. She is currently released on special conditions.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Vince Carroll, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
During the early morning hours of December 4, 2010, OLD BEAR returned to her brother's (the victim, M.T.C.) residence in Lodge Grass where she had been temporarily staying. OLD BEAR had been out drinking and was intoxicated. M.T.C. asked her to leave because she was intoxicated. OLD BEAR became belligerent and began arguing with M.T.C. OLD BEAR began cursing at M.T.C. and retrieved an 8-inch butcher knife from a kitchen drawer. OLD BEAR then chased M.T.C. around the residence with the knife and eventually stabbed him several times: twice in the scalp, once on in the side of his abdomen, and once in the lower back.
M.T.C. was taken to the Crow Hospital, and then transferred to St. Vincent's Hospital in Billings because of the severity of his injuries. Because of internal bleeding, a chest tube had to be inserted into M.T.C.'s chest. M.T.C. remained hospitalized for two days. His injuries constituted serious bodily injury.
OLD BEAR was subsequently interviewed and admitted to stabbing M.T.C.
OLD BEAR faces possible penalties of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and 3 years supervised release.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
A copy of the Offer of Proof can be obtained by contacting Sally Frank at (406) 247-4638.

On September 12, 1962, during his famous speech at Rice University, President Kennedy made going to the moon a national goal.1 It galvanized the country. It led to NASA. It roused support for huge budgetary resources for scientific research and development, which yielded advanced rocket technology, light-emitting diodes, cochlear implants, freeze-dried food, and memory foam, among other inventions. It shifted the research of thousands of scientists and engineers toward space. And it generated tremendous public excitement.

I have dwarf apple, pear, peach, plum, apricot, and cherry trees. I planted them in March of 2012 and pruned at knee height(most were already knee height). In 2013 I pruned in January, most trees are over 6' already. Is January too early? Can I prune them all around the same time? I believe my last frost date is April 15th. Just would like to know the optimum time for winter pruning. |

Ask your county agriculture extension office, or look in a gardening book aimed at your area. It varies with the species of tree, and also with what the purpose of the pruning is. You prune differently for shaping versus fruit production enhancement. And the age/size of the tree also matters. |

In south Jersey you can prune any time. For stone fruits later is better to avoid canker. I usually do stone fruits last for that reason, but I have done some earlier and not had any problems. Scott |

Vigorous peach trees don't seem to me to be all that susceptible to canker. I only get it on older, and/or slower growing trees. If trees aren't vigorous it might be worth waiting until about when they are in bloom. |
I'm in 6a and I plan to prune mine about March 15th My last frost is about May 1st. Wait for the harsh winter to be over. Probably about March 1st for you. Also dormant spray them after pruning. I like to make sure that any fungal spores are treated before they break bud. Plus you opened up the tree to infection so to me it makes sense to do a fungal spraying at this time. Make sure temps are above freezing when you spray. Read directions, some sprays may need a later application depending on the products you use. If so i would wait to prune until you can spray. |

Drew, what fungus are you afraid of as a result of pruning? The Trees are pretty capable of protecting pruning wounds from most wood eating fungus. Fungicide applied by fruit care takers is mostly about protecting leaves and fruit. When wood attacking fungus is a problem, such as with canker, the trick isn't fungicide but for the tree to be actively growing. Peaches heal faster when pruned in spring, apparently cherries suffer less when pruned in August. I prune fruit trees on about 7 months of the year. |
"Drew, what fungus are you afraid of as a result of pruning?" Well it's the cherries, MSU says if you prune them, you should put copper on them. And yes August is better but sometimes a cherry tree say on gisela, it may have too many terminal buds and not enough leaf to support the buds. They should be trimmed back in the spring or late winter. You may be able to do this in August which is the very best time for cherries. |

Are you doing more then just height control with your pruning? I am looking at my trees now for late Feb pruning. To me it is about each branches development and the trees future shape, as well as this years production. I also tie branches to steer them. My newer trees look great. My older not so much, but I am going back and fixing that now. My early pruning info came from google searches and that info was all about the same, poor. I spend a year or so reading this forum, both current and old to put together my understanding of pruning. |
I am discovering in this thread that there is more 'give and take' in times to prune apples and stonefruit. Every Feb. like clock-work, I've been going out into my small orchard and pruning all of my trees, then spraying my peaches and plums with copper. Not only have I had peach leaf curl and do not want ever again, my Italian Plum has been prone to Canker (as has one Peach), The copper spray at this point seems to be working just fine. I really had no idea I could have been pruning at any time. What a relief. I like keeping to a sched. as it just helps my plan for time in the orchard. Mrs. G |
I would say you can't prune any time. Pruning during a peroid of rain is not a good idea. Pruning late in the year also is not good. Plants should be hardening off for winter but you just stimulated them to grow. |

I've never worried about canker on cherries and often have aggressively pruned them during dormancy. I suspect it may be a larger problem in commercial production- either that or it's not such a problem in my general region, which seems less likely. Pruning after terminal bud set in mid summer does not stimulate new growth, in my experience, and espaliers have traditionally been pruned at this time for centuries. I prune apples every working day from July well into Sept so I have less to do in winter when I'm pruning every single weekday as well. I've never really suffered consequences of pruning at a "wrong time" although when I started in all this I followed the literature and was very cautious. It was the sanguine attitude of commercial growers who would prune most any time that gave me the confidence to follow the old saying, "best time to prune is when the pruners are sharp". |
"I've never worried about canker on cherries " That must be nice I have had it twice already. And I only have 3 trees. |

Drew, I expressed the difference in location and it is not really helpful to begin grading my advice as good or poor- I am only communicating my experience and I qualified it as such. You tend to make broad general statements, I post a contradiction and then you modify and specify- that is the point of discussion- it can lead to clarification. In this case you initially recommended your approach without specifying that it was based on an issue with a single species. I think this clarification is helpful. If you rely entirely on the advice of people whose information is acquired in the arena of commercial fruit production you may never learn the difference of what is required to grow a small stand of fruit trees compared to growing in multiple acres of monoculture. I did not learn practical home orchard care by relying on Cornell. Their experts can offer advice when a specific issue occurs but they aren't very helpful if you want to pursue a low spray regimen to produce sound but not necessarily pristine fruit. You sometimes have to risk your crop or even your trees to learn what you need on any given site. If I erred on the side of caution as a general rule I would wind up spraying all the orchards I manage twice as often as necessary. If I followed Cornell's advice on when to prune, I'd be able to manage a fraction of the orchards that I do now and I'd have to make my living doing something else. |
I am doing apples and pears now - quite heavy thinning and lopping, especially older neglected orchards - but I also do summer pruning to stimulate spur formation....but will be leaving the cherries, plums, gages etc after the summer cropping. Have done this for 20 years - works for me. |
'but will be leaving the cherries, plums, gages etc after the summer cropping. Have done this for 20 years - works for me.' That is really good advice, and I do now too, but when I first started my cherries, I was new to fruit trees. I didn't know better and a couple trees got infected with canker. |

The advice not to prune stone fruit in winter is meant to reduce the possibility of silver leaf. Do you get that in the States? |
"The advice not to prune stone fruit in winter is meant to reduce the possibility of silver leaf. Do you get that in the States?" I'm not familiar with it? But conditions are wet here in late winter, and MSU a local University advocates late summer pruning for cherries to decrease chance of bacterial or fungal infections. MSU suggests to prune in august. Cherries are our states life blood. it is a major crop here, we grow the most tart cherries of any state, or country for that matter. It is super important here. Although I happen to be talking about sweet cherries. What i like about MSU is they have extensive information not only for the commercial market, but for home growers too. They have developed many cultivars for both markets. MSU has developed more blueberry plants than anything, but recently 2 tart cherry cultivars were released. I think the cultivars are for both markets, you can purchase them at Grandpa's nursery which is located in Michigan. They are very much like Balaton. Here's some info on what we are facing here from MSU. In 2012 many orchards got hit, and so did I. A major portion of our commerical fruit trees were taken out in 2012. |

This post was edited by Drew51 on Sat, Jan 18, 14 at 10:38
Just a clarification for the thread. My understanding is sweet cherries are much more prone to canker than pie cherries. I've seen lots of different pie cherry trees in my locale and have rarely seen canker. Of my own trees, out of 4 varieties, I've only seen canker on one older tree. Because canker isn't generally an issue on pie cherries, I prefer to prune them in the dormant season. It's the only fruit tree type I don't summer prune. The reason, pie cherries are prone to get leaf spot here. They want to defoliate in late summer anyway (which weakens the tree). I assume cutting away summer foliage (via pruning) would add to the problem. Everything else I try to prune when I think it needs it (i.e. prune in summer when the fruit needs more sun, prune in winter to thin wood). |
Thanks for the info on pie cherries! I have been trying to grow some, but it seems fruitless (pun intended) at my cottage. I have 4 of them, but don't expect any to survive. The conditions are just unfavorable. It's a bummer! Yeah I tend to ramble, back and forth, sorry about that! The distinction between pie cherries and sweet cherries is beginning to blur with so many sweeter pie cherries being developed. They're hybrids between species, so care of these might be different? The Romance series having Mongolian lineage with traditional pie cherry lineage, Care of these is still kinda unknown. More like Bush cherries I guess? The Hungary pie cherries though are just very different pie cherries, but still the same species, not mixed with other species. Best to treat them like regular pie cherries, as that is what they are. I want to try them once I move. Olpea thanks for you input it is always a pleasure to learn from you. You give advice in a humble respectful manner that does not go unnoticed. I wish I would have had it years ago when I was learning via the school of hard knocks! We have had severe infections here in pie cherries too, it can be a problem. I would not rule out canker in your trees, leaf spot, defoliation can be symptoms. |

Thanks Drew. There are so many nice people on this forum (you and others). For the record, I like some tangents on this forum (adds a little spice to the conversation). I was really excited about the Romance cherries and planned to put in a couple rows, but SWD checked me. I'm afraid of what they would do to the fruit in a larger planting. |
I updated my last post a little, you may want to look at it again. "I was really excited about the Romance cherries and planned to put in a couple rows, but SWD checked me" Yes, I'm worried about that too. I just ate some of my raspberries with oatmeal, frozen from the fall harvest, and man they were so good, with oatmeal and nuts. The taste was out of this world compared to store bought! Man, I'm going to miss them if SWD hits me! |

Drew, when I suggested controlling cherry canker was related to pruning and not much to fungicide I really didn't know quite what I was talking about- as I mentioned, canker has yet to be an issue on trees I manage here, but I had a vague recollection of it not being a spray controllable issue. By coincidence only, the University of Oregon seems to agree with my recollection. Not fans of copper for this affliction- that's for sure. Better make sure that's the right approach. There is very detailed info here. |
Here is a link that might be useful: controlling canker in cherries
The Oregon document is from 2010 and the MSU/ Cornell reference is from July 2012. Oregon may have a different view now? The MSU/Cornell research showed copper to only slightly improve chances. I have to go with the more modern reference. Plus the fact as stated, our state is very dependant on our cherry industry. The info is good. Remember MSU has brought cultivars into the market and has numerous trials for cherry trees going on. Danube and Jubileum have been released and look excellent. We spend a lot of money on cherry research and have hundreds of test acres. MSU has been working with Gardens Alive and the Romance series out of Canada too. MSU is testing the Romance series currently. I have heard of no work OSU has done with cherries. |

" have heard of no work OSU has done with cherries. " Oops! I have to take that back, they have worked and made a number of videos with MSU about MI cherry trees. |

Drew, I was looking through the internet about MSU's stand about applying copper and they seem to only recommend it applied to flowers, not pruning wounds. In this article they say it has no affect when used in conjunction with pruning. Do you have something more recent than this? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Use of copper for BC in cherries.
"In this article they say it has no affect when used in conjunction with pruning. " No, they say minimal to no effect. Also that is Cornell's advice, all the MSU experts say spray, and the info is in every document or most on pruning. |

Drew, I'm sorry, I did accidentally (subconsciously on purpose, probably) exaggerate, but the guide doesn't recommend spray after pruning. However, upon further reading, I've found that your information is correct and copper spray is widely recommended after pruning even though it isn't very affective- but enough so to be worth doing according to current Cornell and other guidelines. I stand corrected and thank you for bringing this to my attention. After reading all this material about cherry canker I am somewhat surprised that my careless timing of pruning has never led to any outbreaks of this infection over the last 25 years. Cherries are a minority species in orchards I manage and I am very busy doing non-pruning work in the first couple weeks after trees come out of dormancy. It would be expensive to come back to prune only cherries and peaches at many of the smaller orchards I manage. I recently started managing cherries with summer pruning anyway- but only to better manage fruiting wood. I will now pay more attention to weather forecasts before performing this kind of pruning. I will wait until I actually see some cherry canker somewhere before I start spraying after pruning. I have to keep customer expenses down. If you hadn't posted about it I wouldn't think about cherry canker much at all. Thanks again. |
"After reading all this material about cherry canker I am somewhat surprised that my careless timing of pruning has never led to any outbreaks of this infection over the last 25 years." Some people are just good at what they do. |

It is also very difficult if you don't have open sky to the east. If the environment is wrong, it doesn't matter how good you are at what you do. A world class chef can't cook a good meal from rotten produce. I assume you noticed that growing cherries on berms is highly recommended and seems to make as much difference as anything else you can do for most all that ails cherries. |

The premise: There is no Jyhad. The Methuselahs are all dead or in hiding. The vampires in the game really are operating under their own free will.
The main points of this variant are listed below. The corresponding numbered sections explain each point in detail.
The players take the roles of Justicars or Cardinals, each choosing an appropriate vampire card (e.g., Democritus or Angelica, the Canonicus). The players reveal their chosen vampires simultaneously. Each player then puts his or her chosen vampire into the ready region, tapped and empty, to start the game.
These Justicars and Cardinals are called Master Vampires and are not unique, so even if two players select the same vampire, they do not contest. However, Justicar titles are still unique. Contesting a Master Vampire's Justicar title is different from contesting other titles (see subsection I.D below).
Master Vampires untap at the end of the turn, not at the beginning.
While the master phase still follows the untap phase, players do not receive any master phase actions then. Other effects that occur during the master phase are handled normally.
To play a master card, the player simply taps his or her Master Vampire during the minion phase to take an action (called a master card action). This action is unblockable and instantaneous, and gives the player one master phase action, which must be used immediately to play a master card or an effect called for by card text). Master card actions are not subject to the "no repeat action" rule.
Similarly, out-of-turn master cards are treated as reaction cards that a Master Vampire can play at the appropriate times. Note: the Master Vampire must tap to play these cards (unlike normal reaction cards).
Without a Methuselah around to meddle in the works, most master cards cannot be played. Exceptions to this rule are locations; master cards that require control of a ready member of a certain clan (including Contract from Ancient Hearts ); or "clan hosers" that target only members of certain clans (such as Malkavian Dementia or Brujah Frenzy).
Discipline cards are allowed, but their use is restricted. A player can play a Discipine card only if that player's Master Vampire possesses that Discipline or if the card is played on the player's Master Vampire.
Certain other master cards have been modified for purposes of this variant, as explained in section V below, and are allowable in their changed form.
Lesser vampires cannot contest Master Vampires' titles. Only other Master Vampires can contest these.
Master Vampires are immune to the effects of other players' master cards and votes. A vote cannot name other players' Master Vampires, nor can a master card select other players' Master Vampires as targets (unless the vote or card specifies "players" or "Methuselahs").
Note 1: A player's own Master Vampire is affected by cards and effects that he or she plays. If an effect requires any player to choose a vampire, the player is free to choose his or her Master Vampire if desired (e.g., during an Ancient Influence vote).
Note 2: Master vampires are counted--even if not affected--by political actions like Ancilla Empowerment, whose effects depend on the number of vampires in play.
A Master Vampire cannot be the target of another player's (D) action as long as the Master Vampire is ready and the controller has at least one other ready minion.
Exception: A Master Vampire can target other ready Master Vampires with (D) actions regardless of the number of other ready minions. Such (D) actions are at -2 stealth, and the cost of the action is increased by 1 pool. The controller of the Master Vampire targeted by such an action can burn a ready minion he or she controls to cause the action to fail.
A Master Vampire who goes to torpor (whether through normal means or as described in subsection II.B below) loses the protection of the attendants. Any vampire can attempt to rescue or diablerize a Master Vampire in torpor. As usual, these actions are (D) if the acting vampire is controlled by another player, and at +1 stealth if the acting vampire is controlled by the same player. No other effects, whether from votes or master cards, can affect another player's Master Vampire, as per paragraph I.C.2 above, even when the Master Vampire is in torpor.
A Master Vampire's Justicar title can only be contested by another Master Vampire. While contesting a title, a Master Vampire has the status of a Prince. Once the title is yielded, the losing Master Vampire becomes a Primogen.
Contesting a Justicar title in this way differs from the normal rules for contesting titles. Neither the player's pool nor the Master Vampire's blood is burned. Winning the contest results from showing the unworthiness of the other contestants or from calling a vote.
A Master Vampire contesting title can undermine a rival's claim by placing an unworthiness counter on the other Master Vampire. This is a (D) action at +1 stealth, and incurs neither the -2 stealth penalty nor the extra pool cost described in paragraph I.C.3 above. A Master Vampire who has accumulated five unworthiness counters immediately yields claim to the title. A Master Vampire can burn unworthiness counters placed on it by burning 1 blood during the controller's minion phase for each counter burned.
Any lesser vampire (non-Master Vampire) of the clan whose Justicar title is being contested can call a vote to end the contest and name the winner of the title. This is a +1 stealth action. Only the Master Vampire with the fewest unworthiness counters can be chosen (or one of them, if there is a tie). Ready members of that clan get an additional vote, as usual.
Pool represents the strength and influence of the Master Vampire. The player may move blood from his or her pool to the Master Vampire at any time except during combat. This can be done as often as the player wishes.
At the end of a player's turn, when the Master Vampire untaps (or remains untapped), the player can move 1 blood from the Master Vampire to his or her pool. If a Master Vampire has no blood at the start of its controller's turn (before the untap phase), that player must move at least 1 blood to the Master Vampire from his or her pool. If he or she cannot, the Master Vampire goes to torpor.
Pool and blood are distinct except when counting the pool amount. Any cards or effects that would count a Methuselah's pool instead count the combined total of that player's pool and the amount of blood on his or her Master Vampire. For all other purposes (like making transfers or paying card costs), pool is separate from the Master Vampire's blood, as normal.
If some effect other than card cost causes a player to burn more pool than he or she has, the difference is made up from the Master Vampire's blood. If there is insufficient blood to cover the difference, then the Master Vampire is sent to torpor, empty.
In this variant, the object is to burn your prey's Master Vampire rather than to deplete your prey's pool. Removing pool will help a great deal, however, since it is closely linked to the Master Vampire's blood.
A Master Vampire cannot be burned in combat. If a combat result would burn that vampire, it instead burns all of its blood and goes to torpor. This applies to aggravated damage, Decapitate, Amaranth, etc.
Diablerie is the only way to burn a Master Vampire. If the diabolist is itself a Master Vampire, then the act carries no penalty (no Blood Hunt can be called, The Sixth Tradition cannot be invoked, etc.). Otherwise, all of the usual penalties apply, such as the Blood Hunt.
When a Master Vampire is diablerized, its controller's predator gets a victory point and 6 pool. The diabolist can keep any blood and/or equipment that the victim had, as usual.
Note: If a Master Vampire diablerizes a lesser (non-Master) vampire, a Blood Hunt can be called.
Interacting with vampires of rival clans or sects is more difficult in this variant. Independent vampires (Giovanni, Ravnos, Assamites, and Followers of Set) are considered neutral and are not affected by this rule.
Vampires belonging to the clan opposing that of the Master Vampire (see subsection IV.A below) are harder to influence. Such vampires effectively have +1 blood capacity while in the uncontrolled region, and require the transfer of 1 additional blood (which will "drain off" when the vampire becomes controlled).
Vampires of the opposing sect (Camarilla or Sabbat) effectively have +2 blood capacity while in the uncontrolled region, and thus require the transfer of 2 additional blood to bring into play.
Brujah - Ventrue
Malkavian - Tremere
Nosferatu - Toreador
Caitiff: None
Gangrel: None
Brujah antitribu - Ventrue antitribu
Malkavian antitribu - Tremere antitribu
Nosferatu antitribu - Toreador antitribu
Gangrel antitribu : None
Lasombra: None
Tzimisce: None
Pander: None
Certain master cards are not allowed (see subsection I.B above), while the effects of other cards have been modified for the purposes of this variant.
Anson: Read Anson's special ability instead as "If Anson is ready during your master phase, your Master Vampire can untap once during the minion phase, either at the start of the minion phase or immediately after a master card action."
Parthenon, The: Replace the card text with "Tap to untap your Master Vampire. Only usable at the start of the minion phase, or immediately after a master card action."
Rumors of Gehenna: Replace the card text with "Name a set of Master Vampires. Successful vote means that those vampires may untap once during their minion phase, either at the start of the minion phase or immediately after a master card action."
Blood Doll: Replace the card text with "Put this card on a vampire you control. During his or her master phase, the controller of this vampire can move 1 blood from the vampire to his or her Master Vampire or from his or her Master Vampire to the vampire."
Hunt Club, The [DS]: This card cannot be played on a Master Vampire.
Nosferatu Hosting [DS]: Replace the card text with "During your master phase, you can look at one vampire in another player's inactive region. This card may be burned by any minion who is not Toreador as a (D) action."
Secure Haven [DS]: This card does not prevent Master Vampires from taking (D) actions against the vampire with Secure Haven played on it.
Tribute to the Master [SAB]: Replace the card text with "Move 1 blood from each of your ready vampires to your Master Vampire."
This section presents more options for use with this variant, once players are familiar with its basic rules.
Some players find the variant too combat-oriented. To remedy this somewhat, this optional rule allows Master Vampires an alternative to torpor.
When a Master Vampire is sent to torpor in combat, its controller can burn 2 pool (not blood) to save it, keeping it in the Ready region. The time to invoke Sanctuary is the same as for Minor Boon--after combat ends but before the vampire goes to torpor.
With this optional rule, Master Vampires can attempt to gain control of other players' lesser (non-Master) vampires. The other Master Vampires can take measures to retain control of these vampires.
Each Master Vampire can take a (D) action against another player's lesser vampire to place an influence counter on the target vampire. This action costs 1 pool (not blood). Each player's influence counters are distinct from the others' influence counters.
When the total of a player's influence counters equals or exceeds the target's capacity, that player's Master Vampire can take a (D) action to take control of the vampire. Each Master Vampire may also take an undirected action at +1 stealth to remove one influence counter. This action costs 1 pool.
Try out these options, or feel free to come up with some of your own. Do let us know how they work for you.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Editorial: Global Warming, Human Ecology and a Catholic Way of Being Green
By Deacon Keith Fournier
April 16th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Catholics should live a way of life which understands our place with one another in the world which God created for all of us to care for, steward and share. We need a human ecology, a relational environmentalism, a Catholic way of being green. The most recent debate concerning global warming invites us to continue to develop such an approach, together. It also calls for the charity in truth and respect which should characterize healthy debate between Catholics and other Christians. CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic online) - We recently published a series of articles which offered a point/counterpoint on the controversial topic of climate change or global warming. I did not write any of them. As the Editor in Chief of Catholic Online, I allowed a robust debate to ensue in our comment section. However, what is called global warming or climate change is one of those areas where the exercise of prudential judgment can find good Catholics and other Christians differing with one another. When we do, we should do so with charity. The responses have now prompted me to address the subject of Catholics and environmental concerns in general. This is not the first time I have written on the issue. The Catholic Church has been green for a lot longer than any modern environmental movement. We are called to what I call a relational environmentalism; one of stewardship with the earth which God has made and entrusted to us to care for and to share. For those eager to understand Catholic teaching on this vital topic, we should always begin with scripture and tradition. We have a well of teaching in the Church on our relationship to the gift of God's creation. The concern I have about some of the arguments concerning global warming is that they promote one more charged right vs. left political food fight. Sadly, they too often use sometimes conflicting scientific data as fodder for the fight. We are not first political conservatives or liberals, we are first, last and all in between, Catholic. 'The Magisterium finds the motivation for its opposition to a concept of the environment based on ecocentrism and on biocentrism in the fact that "it is being proposed that the ontological and axiological difference between men and other living beings be eliminated, since the biosphere is considered a biotic unity of undifferentiated value. Thus man's superior responsibility can be eliminated in favor of an egalitarian consideration of the 'dignity' of all living beings'. Some in the current green movement have lost their way. The most obvious example is the inherent contradiction of worrying about polluting the atmosphere with toxic chemicals while at the same time supporting making toxic chemicals available to be ingested by mothers, including girls, in order to kill the children in their womb. We need a new way of being green, a Catholic way. On June 9, 2011, then Pope Benedict XVI received the credential letters of six new ambassadors to the Holy See. He gave a speech addressing them. In his speech the Pope sounded a theme which is common in his locutions and writings; he spoke of a Human Ecology. He said 'Human ecology is an imperative. Adopting a lifestyle that respects our environment and supports the research and use of clean energies that preserve the patrimony of creation and that are safe for human beings should be given political and economic priority'. Then, he addressed technology saying, 'It is also helpful to ask ourselves about the appropriate role of technology because believing it is the exclusive agent of progress or happiness carries a reification of humanity that leads to blindness and misery. ... Technology that dominates human beings deprives them of their humanity. The pride that it generates has created an impossible economism in our societies as well as a hedonism that subjectively and selfishly regulates behavior. The debilitation of the primacy of the human person provokes a loss of the meaning of life'. The Pope Emeritus noted 'it is urgent that we match technology with a strong ethical dimension. ... Technology should help nature develop along the lines envisioned by the Creator. In working together, the researcher and the scientist adhere to God's plan that desired humanity as the apex and the administrator of creation. Solutions based on this principle will protect human life and its vulnerability, as well as the rights of the present and future generations'. There was nothing new in his words. They comported with what he had written and said since he assuming his office. However, some Press reports focused on his encouragement of clean energy. In some instances the reports implied the Pope had somehow joined the Green movement. I thought back to 2009 when he sent a letter to participants in the World Day of Peace entitled If You Want to Cultivate Peace, protect creation. 'Without belief in the true God our efforts are in ultimately fruitless, in fact not only fruitless, but they bear poisonous fruit if the Church's magisterium expresses grave misgivings about notions of the environment inspired by ecocentrism and biocentrism, it is because such notions eliminate the difference of identity and worth between the human person and other living things.' 'In the name of a supposedly egalitarian vision of the dignity of all living creatures, such notions end up abolishing the distinctiveness and superior role of human beings. They also open the way to a new pantheism tinged with neo-paganism, which would see the source of man's salvation in nature alone, understood in purely naturalistic terms.' The media reports tried to fit the Pope's letter into a simplistic green template. They also demonstrated the reporters had not read the actual letter. In that letter, and in his address to those ambassadors, the Pope repeated themes developed in his Encyclical Letter entitled Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth). Those themes are a part of Catholic Social teaching. They are found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and have their roots in the Bible and the Christian Tradition. His Holiness Benedict XVI called for an integral human development which recognizes the centrality of the human person and the primacy of our relationships with one another in family and society. He underscored the truth that creation is a gift, given to human persons by a God of love who entrusts us with responsibility for one another - and therefore for the goods which promote our human flourishing. We all have a responsibility for one another. We need to live together as good stewards of creation, recognizing the need first for a human ecology. Here is another excerpt from the 2009 letter: 'The Church has a responsibility towards creation, and she considers it her duty to exercise that responsibility in public life, in order to protect earth, water and air as gifts of God the Creator meant for everyone, and above all to save mankind from the danger of self-destruction. The degradation of nature is closely linked to the cultural models shaping human coexistence: consequently, when 'human ecology' is respected within society, environmental ecology also benefits'. 'Young people cannot be asked to respect the environment if they are not helped, within families and society as a whole, to respect themselves. The book of nature is one and indivisible; it includes not only the environment but also individual, family and social ethics. Our duties towards the environment flow from our duties towards the person, considered both individually and in relation to others.' 'Hence I readily encourage efforts to promote a greater sense of ecological responsibility which, as I indicated in my Encyclical Caritas in Veritate,(Charity in Truth) would safeguard an authentic human ecology and thus forcefully reaffirm the inviolability of human life at every stage and in every condition, the dignity of the person and the unique mission of the family, where one is trained in love of neighbor and respect for nature. There is a need to safeguard the human patrimony of society. This patrimony of values originates in and is part of the natural moral law, which is the foundation of respect for the human person and creation.' Benedict XVI presented a Catholic Environmental vision; one which is pro-life, pro-family, pro-poor, pro-peace and fundamentally relational. That is what we should present, build upon and espouse as well. We are to receive one another as gifts. We must never use human persons as objects. We should receive creation as a gift, our common home, to be shared with one another, and not as an object of use. He articulated a vision for a human ecology which can promote a path to authentic peace. He concluded his 2009 letter with these words, 'The Church, for her part, is concerned that the question be approached in a balanced way, with respect for the "grammar" which the Creator has inscribed in his handiwork by giving man the role of a steward and administrator with responsibility over creation, a role which man must certainly not abuse, but also one which he may not abdicate. In the same way, the opposite position, which would absolutize technology and human power, results in a grave assault not only on nature, but also on human dignity itself. 'If you want to cultivate peace, protect creation. The quest for peace by people of good will surely would become easier if all acknowledge the indivisible relationship between God, human beings and the whole of creation. In the light of divine Revelation and in fidelity to the Church's Tradition, Christians have their own contribution to make.' 'They contemplate the cosmos and its marvels in light of the creative work of the Father and the redemptive work of Christ, who by his death and resurrection has reconciled with God "all things, whether on earth or in heaven" (Col 1:20). Christ, crucified and risen, has bestowed his Spirit of holiness upon mankind, to guide the course of history in anticipation of that day when, with the glorious return of the Savior, there will be "new heavens and a new earth" (2 Pet 3:13), in which justice and peace will dwell forever'. 'Protecting the natural environment in order to build a world of peace is thus a duty incumbent upon each and all. It is an urgent challenge, one to be faced with renewed and concerted commitment; it is also a providential opportunity to hand down to coming generations the prospect of a better future for all.' 'May this be clear to world leaders and to those at every level who are concerned for the future of humanity: the protection of creation and peacemaking are profoundly linked! For this reason, I invite all believers to raise a fervent prayer to God, the all-powerful Creator and the Father of mercies, so that all men and women may take to heart the urgent appeal: If you want to cultivate peace, protect creation' One of the accurate reports on the Pope's 2009 letter came from Giuliano Ferrara, the director of the Italian daily Il Foglio who wrote 'The Pope denounces the ecological crisis but does not belong to the church of Al Gore. Benedict XVI in no way denies human abuse of nature. He notes that he does not share the 'the environmentalist religion or environmentalism as a religion'. The Pope has another faith, based on the transcendence of a God that creates man in his image and likeness to entrust nature to him. He has, evidently, no need for replacement beliefs, of ideologies feigned as science.' Catholics should live a way of life which understands our place with one another in the world which God created for all of us to care for, steward and share. We need a human ecology, a relational environmentalism, a Catholic way of being green. The most recent debate concerning global warming invites us to continue to develop such an approach, together. It also calls for the charity in truth and respect which should characterize healthy debate between Catholics and other Christians. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

If you're biting your fingernails waiting for the screen the scroll or a button to activate, you may even forget what it is you were trying to do in the first place, wasting more time.
One potential solution comes from developer tools company Sencha. The company says its latest upgrade, Sencha Touch 2.0, offers mobile developers a way to create speedier HTML 5 apps that can run across a variety of devices from smartphones to tablets.
"We've left no stone unturned in Sencha Touch 2, optimizing scrolling frame rates, layout speed, load time, and even how quickly a button responds to touch," said Sencha engineering manager Jamie Avins in a blog post today about the release.
Sencha says it can also help apps simply load faster, going beyond caching and traditional techniques to speed load times. Avins says Sencha 2 says does two things that are key to faster load times, making fewer requests to the Web server and transferring less data that can result in a "stunning improvement in the startup speed" of a web app.
Sencha also says it's partnered with AT&T to offer Sencha developers carrier-grade API's for billing and location services as an alternative to distributing through an app store.
But the company is also offering a simpler way to gain app store distribution as well. A new Sencha Touch 2 SDK Tools (software development kit) works on both Mac and Windows.
"It's a major step forward for developers since your development platform no longer limits your choice of app stores," says Avins. "For enterprises standardized on Windows, you can use Sencha SDK Tools to package your iOS app as a part of your own internal build process."
Demos and additional information is available at Sencha's website.

CHEYENNE — The role of the statewide elected superintendent of public instruction would be greatly reduced under a proposed bill that would remove the superintendent as head of the state Department of Education.
Senate File 104, which was introduced Thursday, would create a new director of the agency who would be appointed by the governor.
The legislation is sponsored by both chairmen of the state House and Senate education committees and is co-sponsored by all majority and minority legislative leaders.
The measure shows the depth of distrust lawmakers have for Superintendent Cindy Hill's administration of the Education Department, especially when it comes to education overhauls. Some lawmakers say her administration has hindered the effort and set it back years.
Hill, a Republican who was elected about two years ago, was critical of the proposal.
"I serve as the voice of the people and this bill would take away their voice and it replaces the voice of the people with an appointed bureaucrat," she said.
Supporters of the bill say the aim is to limit politics in complicated public education issues.
"Education issues should not be political in nature," Rep. Matt Teeters, R-Lingle and chairman of the House Education Committee, said in a statement. "The time has come to take personal politics out of the education equation."
The Senate Education Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing Friday morning on the bill.
The superintendent of public instruction is currently one of five statewide elected officials. The others are the governor, secretary of state, auditor and treasurer. The Wyoming Constitution entrusts the superintendent with "general supervision of the public schools" but specifies that the job's duties and powers must be prescribed by law, which the Legislature determines.
Other major state agencies, such as the Transportation, Game and Fish and Health departments, are run by appointed directors.
Under the proposal, the superintendent's main education duties would include preparing an annual report for the Legislature on the general status of public schools and administering the teacher of the year award. The new agency director would join the superintendent as a nonvoting member of the State Board of Education, which helps set state public education policy.
Even if the bill is made law, the superintendent would keep other various duties, such as remaining a voting member on the state building commission, land board and loan and investment board along with the other statewide elected officers.
"She still has her constitutional obligations of being an elected official," said Sen. Hank Coe, R-Cody and chairman of the Senate Education Committee.
SF104 transfers all Education Department divisions, agencies, programs, positions, personnel, property, budgets and functions to the new director. The law would take effect when passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Matt Mead.
Mead would be required to "immediately" appoint an interim director to oversee transfer of the department's administrative duties and then appoint a director by Dec. 1.
In a statement released by his office, Mead did not reject or endorse the proposed measure.
"This is an important first step and I look forward to the debate over the coming weeks," he said. "I appreciate leadership of both parties coming together to offer a solution. This would be a significant change and add a lot to the duties of the Governor's Office, but I recognize that students, parents and teachers want accountability and resolution."
A legislative liaison report this fall was highly critical of the Education Department's work on education overhauls, which aim to better prepare Wyoming students for college and careers.
The report said Hill's agency failed in some of its responsibilities and hindered other entities involved in the state's initiative. Hill in turn criticized the consultants who prepared the report and denied its findings.
Lawmakers also have taken issue with Hill redirecting money they appropriated to different uses within her department without legislative approval.
Hill has defended her agency's work on education reform and on other education issues, noting that student test scores in the state have risen during the last two years and that she has refocused the agency to better help teachers and schools instruct children.

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 Kiki!
Facts about Kiki
- Breed: Calico
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Kiki's Info...
I am good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Sweet Kiki was rescued from a high kill shelter along with her mother and 4 siblings. They have all been raised in a foster home and are now ready to find their forever homes. Kiki is a friendly and playful kitten eager to share affection. She is social and curious, a great companion for any family. She would love to take one of her siblings or mom with her if you have room for two?
Other Pets at Ernie's Hope
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kiki, a Escondido Calico kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in Escondido, or seeking a Calico kitten from a breeder in Escondido.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Escondido 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 Escondido 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 Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Escondido paves the way for another one to be saved.

British Airways (BA) says it will cut prices for passengers who travel with hand-luggage only.

Bag cheap scheduled & charter flights
The airline claims travellers will see, on average, a £9 to £15 fall in prices, depending on the route. Passengers wanting to check a bag in will pay the same prices as they do now.
The move, which began yesterday, is being trialled on selected short-haul flights from Gatwick to Amsterdam, Dubrovnik, Jersey, Tunis and Turin.
BA says it plans to eventually include all its short-haul flights from Gatwick, but cannot give a date on when that will be.
The new policy will bring the airline's short-haul flights into line with budget rivals such as Ryanair and Easyjet.
Budget airlines advertise a base price without checked luggage, and passengers pay more to book checked-in baggage.
British Airways' Gatwick director Peter Simpson insists: "Those who still want to check in a bag will simply pay the same price they do now."

About 150 people turned out for the dedication of a section of Highway 19 to Army Spec. Brandon Tyler Thorsen who was killed while on guard duty in Baghdad, Iraq, on Sept. 15, 2007. Thorsen's parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Thorsen were present and pulled the cover off the streetside sign. State Sen. Charles Dean, who helped pass the legislation designating the section of road in front of Chiefland High School, helped the Thorsens unveil the sign. Chiefland Police Chief Robert Douglas said, "To me it's a small thing . . .
My grandparents tuned in regularly to a radio segment called "The Swap Shop". For 15 minutes every day, people called in to offer something they had -for free or less than $20 or they called in to ask for items they needed.

Back in 1972, the Federal Clean Water Act was passed by Congress and President Nixon, setting guidelines to ensure that our nation's rivers remain healthy and clean.
It has taken most states a long time to take action.
Some like New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Kansas, got their acts together quicker than others by drawing up widespread measures.
Many others, including Florida, dragged their feet - waiting until their backs were against the wall.
A 63-year-old Fanning Springs resident has been charged with impersonating a police officer, and luring and enticing a child into his vehicle.
Levy County Sheriff's Investigator Lauree Allen arrested William Silas Johns July 10 on the charges.
The 6-year-old girl who reported the July 2 incident was not physically harmed, according to a sheriff's office press release.
Chiefland Police Department reports the following arrests:
_ David Ceddrick Flanders, 27, Chiefland, is charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a church, possession of crack with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a church, trafficking in cocaine, possession of marijuana less than 20 grams, possession of drug paraphernalia on May 22.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
_ James Thomas Jr., 27, Chiefland, on two charges each of sale of crack cocaine, possession of crack cocaine after the sheriff's office arranged two drug buys from Thomas behind the South Chevron on Southeast 1st Street, Chiefland.
The report says the area behind the Chevron in South Chiefland is known as being a place to purchase drugs. Bail for Thomas on all charges is $30,000.
A request by Goethe Trailhead Ranch to convert 37 of 73 recreational vehicle sites into stationary park trailers drew sharp criticism from neighbors before being approved by the Levy County Commission on Tuesday.
The Ranch, located at 9171 Southeast Levy County Road 337 between Williston and Dunnellon, is a horse-themed resort with a lighted arena, convenience store, tack and feed store, the Chuck Wagon Diner, 96 box stalls for horses, and access to more than 120 miles of trails in Goethe State Forest.
A stalemate over who is responsible for funding school crossing guards' pay is headed to the state attorney general's office for an opinion.
The Chiefland City Commission decided in its Monday night meeting to seek the opinion after the Levy County School Board rejected its request to increase funding from $10,400 per year to $12,960 to provide the guards for two hours per day at Chiefland Elementary School.
The public's opportunity to give the Levy County Commission their opinion on the proposed Progress Energy two-unit nuclear plant near Inglis will come at an informational hearing at 7 p.m. on August 7 in the Levy County Courthouse courtroom.
The hearing, required as part of the plant's application process, would be the only one held by the Commission.

Thursday, November 15, 2012
Several years ago I decided to go out on a limb and prepare my Christmas ham in the crock pot. I was taking a bit of a risk- I mean, the holiday dinner could have gone very wrong, however it was a complete success! Since then I plan on cooking all hams in the crock pot as it frees up the oven and produces a deliciously juicy ham.
I use the word "cooking" but really, any ham you buy in the grocery store is pre-cooked, so all you really need to do is warm it up. However warming up a 10-lb piece of meat without drying it out is easier said than done. Hence the crock pot method- it's the perfect environment for tender, juicy ham.
This ham I feature in my crock pot is one I purchased from Zaycon Foods. Zaycon offers high quality meats for discount prices when you buy in bulk. I need to give a shout-out here to them because this was easily the best tasting ham I've ever had. Really. I encourage you to check out Zaycon Foods and see if they have an event coming to your area soon!
Cooking a Ham in the Crock Pot
You will need:
- a large crock pot {mine is a 7-quart}
- a ham {bone-in or out, sliced- it doesn't matter, all hams will work!}
- 1 20-oz can sliced pineapple
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 4-6 hours of time
First, turn your crock pot on to get it heating up. I like to turn mine on high, then adjust the temp once I put the food inside.
Next, make sure your ham will fit. As I said before, ham from a grocery store is pre-cooked. So if your ham doesn't fit, simply cut a portion off and refrigerate it or freeze it for later use. I like to use diced ham in omelets and other dishes so I dice any ham that doesn't fit.
Once you're certain your ham will fit inside with the lid on, place it in the crock pot.
Open the can of sliced pineapple and drain the juice out into a separate bowl. You will use all of the juice! Measure out your 1/3 cup of brown sugar and add it to the pineapple juice, whisking to dissolve. Add in the 1/2 tsp of ground cloves and whisk to combine.
Arrange the slices of pineapple all over the surface of your ham. Pour the sugar-clove-pineapple juice mixture on top.
Replace the lid on the crock pot and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours. I had about 7-lbs of my 10lb ham in the crock pot and I cooked mine for 5 hours. It was super moist and had a lovely sweet flavor.

Pixar and Prince of Persia Lego Coming
Posted on Sunday, February 15th, 2009 by Brendon Connelly
The LEGO Group have announced a new licensing cross-over with Disney Consumer Products (didn't they invent Robocop?). Set to launch in 2010 are three new lines of interlocking blocks based upon the Prince of Persia movie, Toy Story and Cars. Yep – even more merchandising gold will be reaped by the Cars behemoth.
The first of the brick sets to launch will be the Toy Story and Toy Story 2 kits, out in January of next year. Ouch. Just missing Xmas like that? They must have their reasons but my next letter to Santa will be a little shorter for it. The follow-on Toy Story 3 bricks will hit in May 2010.
