Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea side. | 1 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. |
2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore. | 2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. |
3 And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow. | 3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: "A farmer went out to sow his seed. |
4 And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up. | 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. |
5 And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth. | 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. |
6 And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away. | 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. |
7 And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them. | 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. |
8 And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundred fold, some sixty fold, and some thirty fold. | 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop--a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. |
9 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. | 9 He who has ears, let him hear." |
10 And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables? | 10 The disciples came to him and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?" |
11 Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given. | 11 He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. |
12 For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath. | 12 Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. |
13 Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. | 13 This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. |
14 And the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive. | 14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: " 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. |
15 For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. | 15 For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' |
16 But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. | 16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. |
17 For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them: and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them. | 17 For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. |
18 Hear you therefore the parable of the sower. | 18 "Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: |
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side. | 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. |
20 And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy. | 20 The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. |
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized. | 21 But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. |
22 And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless. | 22 The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. |
23 But he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundredfold, and another sixty, and another thirty. | 23 But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." |
24 Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. | 24 Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. |
25 But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way. | 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. |
26 And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle. | 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. |
27 And the servants of the good man of the house coming said to him. Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? Whence then hath it cockle? | 27 "The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?' |
28 And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? | 28 " 'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?' |
29 And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it. | 29 " 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. |
30 Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn. | 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' " |
31 Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. | 31 He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. |
32 Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof. | 32 Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches." |
33 Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. | 33 He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough." |
34 All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them. | 34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. |
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. | 35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world." |
36 Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field. | 36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field." |
37 Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man. | 37 He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. |
38 And the field is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle are the children of the wicked one. | 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, |
39 And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels. | 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. |
40 Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world. | 40 "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. |
41 The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity. | 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. |
42 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. | 42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. |
43 Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. | 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. |
44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. | 44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. |
45 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls. | 45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. |
46 Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it. | 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. |
47 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kinds of fishes. | 47 "Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. |
48 Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth. | 48 When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. |
49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just. | 49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous |
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. | 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. |
51 Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes. | 51 "Have you understood all these things?" Jesus asked. "Yes," they replied. |
52 He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old. | 52 He said to them, "Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old." |
53 And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence. | 53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there. |
54 And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles? | 54 Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?" they asked. |
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude: | 55 "Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? |
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things? | 56 Aren't all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" |
57 And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. | 57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown and in his own house is a prophet without honor." |
58 And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief. | 58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith. |

Yet it was just then, in the '50s, that Porsche was really beginning to rack up the world-class racing victories that put the marque on the map, thanks less to the 356 than to the mid-engine 550 and RSK. Unlike the chop-top 356, these dedicated racing cars were designed from the outset as ragtops (Spyders), the aim being to shed weight and keep the center of gravity low - the same approach that would make the 914 such a giant-killer. (The 550 was so low as to be easily overlooked on public highways; James Dean's last words before fatally crashing his 550 were, "That guy up there's gotta stop . . . He'll see us!" He didn't.) Mid-engine Porsches proved particularly effective in the Targa Florio, a twisty Sicilian road race of considerable antiquity where they scored overall victories versus the more powerful Ferraris in 1956, 1959, and 1960. So when invited to drive parts of the old Targa Florio route in the updated 2009 Boxster S, I jumped at the chance.
After landing at Palermo in gale-force winds, I staggered across the tarmac to a row of Boxsters - all were S models, which account for 55 percent of Boxster sales worldwide these days - and grabbed the first one that came to hand. It was painted a conspicuous speed yellow but at least lacked the cop-magnet racing stripes and numbers that besmirched some of the others. I set out briskly at first but soon was picking gingerly through dark, muddy mountain roads rough enough to better suit an SUV. The Boxster campaigned along gamely enough, its interior snug and warm, although this car suffered from excessive wind noise where the top met the windshield and a persistent squeal in the left front brake. In the last of the light, I stopped amid the broken stone towers of an ancient ruin and looked out over the long, ragged backbone of western Sicily, a landscape resembling that of Ireland but steeped in an even richer history. Greeks, Romans, Africans, and an almost ceaseless assortment of European warlords had campaigned on these roads, taking a full day on horseback to climb roads that my little yellow Boxster had just covered in an hour.
"The morning rises from the sea, still drunk with the song of sirens," wrote the Sicilian poet Lina La Mattina, and the dawn sun did look a bit tipsy as it shuddered in and out of a bank of storm clouds. But the rains had subsided momentarily, so I fired up an off-white Boxster S, put down the top - a quick operation that requires manually releasing only a single, central latch before pressing a button that lowers the roof in twelve seconds - and headed out for a loop around western Sicily. The roads were empty, and my speeds climbed rapidly. The car was light and tight, affording a wealth of informative feedback through the steering wheel and the seat of the pants; like the very best Porsches, it conveyed a sense of being able to respond accurately to every input, no matter how expert or inept. Its seven-speed PDK gearbox - effectively two transmissions, each with its own clutch, sharing one housing - was wonderful, even though I still had it set on Normal.

Pendle Hill Pamphlets
Where can you find brief, substantial writings by authors including Parker Palmer, Howard Thurman, Simone Weil, John Yungblut, Sandra Cronk, Fritz Eichenberg, Thomas Kelly, and Paul Lacey? In the Pendle Hill Pamphlet series. Each of these authors has written at least one of the 400+ pamphlets published by Pendle Hill.
Since its founding in 1930, Pendle Hill has been a center where Quaker faith is expressed in education – the education of adults for spiritually motivated service. Because spiritual experience is essential to Quakerism, Pendle Hill's education is experiential at its core. The Pendle Hill pamphlets have been an integral part of this educational vision since 1934. The pamphlets are written from the personal experience, study, and insights of the authors, concerning spiritual life, faith, and witness.
Pendle Hill is now publishing six (6) pamphlets a year, each about 36 pages in length. Our most recent pamphlet (February 2015, #431) is Revelation and Revolution: Answering the Call to Radical Faithfulness by Steve Chase. Every pamphlet ever printed is available from the online bookstore. Receive each pamphlet as it is published by ordering a subscription. Many older Pendle Hill pamphlets are available as e-pubs for your Kindle or Nook e-reader. We plan to continue to add more popular titles to our collection of e-pamphlets.
We offer a 20% discount when you buy 10 or more Pendle Hill pamphlets. Mixed titles are fine. Any wholesale orders should be made via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Several books are currently on sale, including The Intrepid Quaker, Dark Night Journey, and Quaker Strongholds.

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 Smokey Joe!
Facts about Smokey Joe
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- ID#: 3660301 Hair: Unknown
Smokey Joe's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Smokey Joe is a big sweetheart, very social and likes to be where the action is and where people are. Smokey Joe is extremely mellow and nothing seems to scare him or bother him. He also loves to play. If you get out a wand toy, he will dash back and forth after it. It's surprising how fast he is! He gets along well with other cats, but is fairly dominant and he also has had contact with dogs at the farm he came from during a horse neglect rescue. The vet estimated that Smokey Joe is about 5-6 years old, but his foster mom thinks he's about 3. He has the cutest little trill cry and is an all around good guy.
As with all SCRAM cats, we will not allow this cat to be declawed. Please see our home page for more information on adopting. To learn more about this cat or to make an appointment to meet him, please email email@example.com or call Carolyn at 651-486-7522.> Thank you for your interest in S.C.R.A.M. We are a non-profit, 501c3 tax-exempt, all-volunteer organization and survive on donations.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Smokey Joe, a Roseville Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Roseville, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Roseville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Roseville 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 Roseville 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Roseville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Word of mouth is everything, and word of mouth is being replaced by online reviews and social media. It's word of mouth, only permanent, so it can either make or break your company/brand image. Bottom line, negative reviews in Google can hurt your bottom line and even destroy your business. Usually attacks come from an ex-employee, a bitter customer, or even a competitor as is the case below:
The image below shows a company that was being targeted by competitors. Even after going the legal route of contacting lawyers, there was "nothing" that could be done. In situations like these we must control the message, by creating profiles, websites and boosting up your online profiles to showcase your business in the positive light it deserves:
BEFORE Reputation Mangement:
AFTER Brand Profile Creation / Building:
On most review / directory websites you can counter the negative claim, but on many 3rd party websites or blogs you simply have no voice against them. This leaves you with 3 options.
1) Legal route through lawyers; you might win but as the case above they spent money on lawyers and still were not successful
2) Ignore the reviews; hope it goes away. We all know this is costing you business though so not really an option
3) Hire a reputation mangement company such as NJAnton.com that has proven the ability to drown out the negative noise and replace it with positive brand messages you control.
You can see the negative reviews still "exist" but they are not taking up prime Google real estate in the #2,#3,and #4 spots. They are currently more towards the bottom of page 1, and occasionally on page 2. The campaign is a success as customers can now find more information about what they are searching versus the opinions (use that term loosely) of their competitors.
Because this company takes its brand, image, and reputation seriously they have also opted to further protect itself against future attacks by asking us to register multiple domains, setup, and optimize.
These "sister" sites stay true to the original intent of the main website, and simply act as a funnel and buffer for those seeking out this business. These websites will be optimized and promoted as well, and if need be further promotions done to ensure the protection of the brand. Example below:
Are you the victim of an online attack? Chances are the person is anonymous, a competitor, or maybe even an honest customer, but without options to clear the air or give a fair and balanced view of your business, potential customers will only know the worst of your business, and assume the worst. Fill out the form or give Matt/Dan a call to discuss how we can boost up your online profiles and get you headed in the right direction today!
The 6th amendment is lost on the internet. We are looking to help your business, as we know real people and families can be greatly affected by the whims of an anonymous avatar seeking to destroy you.
"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to be confronted with the witnesses against him."
We don't care about confronting them. We are going to beat them.

China trains 200,000 cheerleaders – for other Olympic teams
The Beijing Organizing Committee has enlisted cheerleaders from the New England Patriots football team to hone the Chinese elite squad's skills.
Alexander F. Yuan/AP
Cheerleading, the quintessential American act, is relatively new to China.
But that hasn't stopped the enthusiastic Olympic host from assembling a pep squad of 200,000 volunteers, the largest in Games history, to stir up spirit for any national team that needs it.
It's one of the bubbliest – and perhaps unlikeliest – ways China hopes to wow its international visitors next month.
Then again, this is the country that has recruited 1.5 million Olympic volunteers and spent $40 billion for its coming-out party – both record-breaking efforts.
"It is almost unheard of in the history of the Olympic movement, [recruiting such a] large number of student cheerleaders to cheer for other countries during the Games," says Guoqi Xu, author of "Olympic Dreams, China and Sports, 1895-2008," in an e-mail. "The Beijing Olympic Games has not yet started, but Beijing has created many precedents" already.
Most of the volunteer cheerleaders – which include many retired civil servants – though, have never shaken pom poms in sassy pleated skirts, let alone roused a crowd with victory jumps.
They'll have some simple dance steps under their belt as well as plastic, noisemaking "cheering sticks" to clap together.
But lest the crowd be unenthused by their routines, or props, Olympics organizers are also preparing 28 elite squads of young women chosen through a nationwide competition and from cheerleading or dance institutes.

Check out Jeff Jarvis and Arianna Huffington as they do their video thing on Buzzmachine.com, Jeff's blog, to get a sense of the culture at Davos. They talk about Bill and Melinda Gates, Hilary Clinton, John Chambers, Senator McCain, Chad Hurley (founder of YouTube) and others.
Arianna and Jeff, of course, are big into politics and how blogging will effect the political process. Jeff pointed out that Hilary went to Yahoo Answers to open a conversation about health insurance and got 37,000 responses right away.
If you're not linked to Arianna's blog yet, you might want to get there if you want an inside the ballpark look at national politics. I was sitting right next to Arianna Sunday morning in Davos when she had a powerful exchange with Senator McCain who was seated about five feet away. Her description of the event is accurate. Even the conservatives in the room thought McCain overreacted to Ariann's prodding.
I would add two things. Arianna did interrupt the Senator during the media briefing and I couldn't tell whether he got so angry because it was Arianna interrupting him or because he wasn't used to anyone interrupting him. Arianna told me that she and McCain go way back in politics and have lots of history. So maybe there was history in that exchange.

Yahoo mail question
Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I'm using the native email application.
I can't seem to get any of my yahoo mail and even though it shows as sent the emails don't seem to go out. Now I've done a lot of searching and the questions I can't get a definitive answer for are:
1. Do you *have* to use the Yahoo app?
2. Do you have to use either the app or buy yahoo mail plus (neither of which I'd like to do)?
3. Are there any other options or do I just have it configured wrong? -
Sounds like your settings are wrong in the setup with rebards to the smtp port numbers. I dont use the app but have it setup like any other email.

If you want to use XNA just be aware of it's limited deployment options. It's really designed for windows devices ( be it 360, mobile Win devices, or PC running windows ). The main differences between it and other engines is it uses C#. Most engines are written C++ with wrappers for Obj-C or Java but at it's core still C++. A few well known engines support C#, like Unity 3D. C# being one of the more modern languages have benefits for beginners but for professionals, the tradeoff in terms of performance usually isn't deem acceptable.
Good Luck!
i only want to develop on windows.
i thought the core of XNA is c++,mhhh.. well i just read it in some forums.
how big is the perfomance tradeoff ?
what alternatives do i have ?
i made a quick google search and found this => http://www.sfml-dev.org/features.php
its written in c++ but usable with c#, dunno how this works out for game dev.
maybe u can give me a better alternative ?
