ATLANTA, GA (Catholic Online) - One of the greatest needs in the Catholic Church are men and women who tell the "Good News" - that is what the word Gospel means - in a naturally supernatural way. Men like Tom Peterson, the founder of "Catholics Come Home" are meeting that need.
I met Tom Peterson years ago at a Catholic Leadership Conference years ago. I remember the year because I had pneumonia and almost did not even attend that particular conference. However, after persevering through the long trip because the conference is always a highlight of my year, I knew I simply HAD to meet this man.
I had seen my first "Catholics Come Home" commercial months earlier and became convinced that the work of this non-profit media apostolate was going to become one of the most important resources for the New Evangelization in my lifetime.
"Finally," I thought to myself, "someone is using the new integrated media with excellence to tell the real story of the greatest treasure in the whole world, the fullness of the Christian faith as found within the Catholic Church."
On the first day of the conference I found Tom in the crowd. I was brimming over with enthusiasm. I walked up to him, introduced myself, and told him that I believed the work the Lord had given to him was one of the greatest resources we had in this new missionary age.
Those who know me know that when I believe something is anointed by the Spirit and effective, I am blunt and right to the point. However, in retrospect, I was visibly very sick and anything but laid back in that encounter.
Fortunately, Tom was not put off by either my manner or my coughing. He was encouraged. We conversed for quite some time and connected throughout that important weekend. I had the opportunity to see their newest commercials and to hear Tom speak.
This gifted and humble man left a successful advertising career to serve the Lord and his Church in this critical time in history. He is an extraordinary example of what is needed throughout the entire Catholic Church, a lay Catholic Christian who has truly encountered the Lord and is dedicated to giving Him away to others.
Tom Peterson has made the New Evangelization of the Church his Life's mission. He is a man who lives to share the good news of the Christian life as found in its fullness within the Catholic Church. Tom, who refers to himself as an "advertising guy, simple and not a scholar" has built "Catholics Come Home" into an evangelization effort which is unmatched in the Catholic Church today.
Both its reach and its quality are now a vital part of this new missionary age of the Catholic Church. It was said of Jesus "He does all things well". (Mk &:37) It can also be said of His follower, Tom Peterson.
Like the little boy with the loaves and the fish in the Gospel account of the multiplication of the loaves and the fish (John 6), Tom Peterson has offered what he had and the miracle continues through the hands of Jesus Christ.
This "advertising guy" is utilizing the best quality offered by the integrated media of our age to reach real people with the real hope they need in an age that has lost its soul. I again affirm what I told Tom years ago, this is one of the most important resources available in this critically important hour.
Those Dioceses which have implemented this wonderful asset in New Evangelization efforts have reaped tremendous fruit in changed lives, sincere conversions and powerful new evangelistic outreaches. It is simply the best resource of its kind.
I had the privilege of being a lay witness to the fullness of Christianity found in the Catholic Church for many years. Then, I was ordained to the order of Deacon seventeen years ago. My service as a Deacon is deeply involved in the New Evangelization in the Catholic Church.
I have had the joy of sharing the Catholic faith with many former or fallen away Catholics and helping them find their way home. I also have the joy of helping Christians from other communities come into the full communion of the Catholic Church.
I see my vocation as missionary. Because of this sense of vocation, I am always looking for resources to help in the work. Catholics Come Home is one of the greatest resources available. I am honored to serve as a theological adviser to the work.
Their powerful media efforts have reached well over 40 million viewers across the US and over 1.5 million viewers worldwide. According to census statistics published by participating dioceses, "Catholics Come Home" ads have helped more than 200,000 fallen away Catholics come home to the Catholic Church.
Knowing that the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Penance, Confession, is the Sacrament of new beginnings, I was THRILLED to learn that this Lent, Catholics Come Home® has launched one of its most exciting and important initiatives to bring Catholics back to the Sacrament of Confession, GoodConfession.com. It is a FANTASTIC outreach and resource which I am honored to recommend.
This unique new website aims to encourage Catholics to more regularly receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and to learn how to improve their spiritual lives as a result of the sacrament. An excerpt from the website explains:Whether you frequent the Sacrament of Reconciliation or you have been away from Confession for years, we are here to provide you with easy-to-read and easy-to-use resources to help you learn about the sacrament, understand how to go to Confession, and, most importantly, learn how practically to live out the priest's words in the confessional to 'go and sin no more.' God wants us all to grow in holiness so we can be saints. But how do we actually do that? GoodConfession is here to help you figure that out.
CatholicsComeHome.org Founder and President Tom Peterson said, We need this outreach! If we truly desire holiness in our Church and in our personal lives, there must be an effort to make Confession a regular habit again, learning also how to conform our lives to be more like Christ after we leave the confessional booth. Confession is one of the most underutilized Sacraments, and so many Catholics report that they haven't been to Reconciliation in years.
The Catholics Come Home® outreach website features one of four new evangomercials , "Heavy Burdens," which beautifully depicts how Reconciliation removes the weight of sin that we all carry, bringing us renewed peace, happiness, and God's sanctifying grace.
This Lent, Catholics Come Home® hopes Catholics will contribute through their Lenten almsgiving to help run this powerful commercial on secular local and national TV, so that parishes can see their confession lines extend and witness parishioners on fire for God's grace and forgiveness through the treasure of Confession. When Catholics Come Home® aired one of its first of thirty-six diocesan evangomercial campaigns in Phoenix (2008) one priest reported more than 16 people in his confessional the first week, all who had been away from the Church for decades.

I booked a Cabin for my daughter and her new Husband to enjoy some quiet time away from their busy lives...and both Marion and her sister Midge were very helpful and accommodating in making it all happen. The comments from the young couple were all positive and the predominate one was, "This set-up is Purrrfect" Highly recommend Abbott Valley Homestead... More
My husband and I spend 4 nights in september while visiting Glacier park. We stay at the Brownstone, great place, with wifi and a great well furnished kitchen. Very close to Glacier park and a beautiful place. The only problem in this cabin is the lack of privacy, the curtains are for decoration and do nothing when it comes to... More
My wife, daughter and I stayed at the Quintoken cabin. It was a perfect base for exploring Glacier. But what was even better was that when we came back from our adventures we had a warm, secluded place to stay. The kitchen was well furnished and the cabin was tastefully decorated. It was comfortable and quiet. It was relaxing to... More
We were a group of 5 and found the Millhouse to be a perfect fit for us. The cabin was well stocked with plenty of amenities and the cozy character of the cabin was wonderful. The quiet location and beautiful scenery couldn't be beat. We greatly enjoyed the picnic table and fire pit in the backyard and the spacious kitchen... More
The view and the decor and feel of the Mickey are excellent. I loved being in the cabin, but if you're thinking of staying here there may be some issues. Firstly, you can only book a cabin by calling. Every time I called someone would answer who would ask if they could help me, then when I explained what I... More
We have shared our location with guests for over 20 yrs. Our guests enjoy the historical cabins, beautiful setting, our attention to detail and our attention to them.

Earlier this summer... More
We stayed at the Millhouse homestead. It was hard to find, but eventually, we got used to it. It fairly comfortably fit 9 of us, though it could probably use a hot-water heater update... showers are an adventure. Price was reasonable once split.
We have dreamed of a vacation in Glacier National Park, and we are thankful that we spent 7 nights of our stay at Abbott Valley Homestead. We stayed in Brownstone, and it was ideal for just the two of us. Our correspondence with Marion via email and phone in the months prior to our arrival was helpful, kind and timely.... More
This was our third year at Abbott Valley. We will return again for several reasons: 1) the location. Quiet and lovely with amazing flower gardens, a stream with rustic wooden bridge, this is a place for relaxing and getting away from the noise of daily life. We sleep better here than anywhere else, probably because of the quiet peace. It's... More
Abbott Valley Ranch was more than we expected! The area is beautiful with great hiking trails to the lake and lookouts. The Park is close by with plenty to do and see.

When recursively traversing through a directory structure, what is the most efficient algorithm to use if you have more files than directories? I notice that when using depth-first traversal, it seems to take longer when there are a lot of files in a given directory. Does breadth-first traversal work more efficiently in this case? I have no way to profile the two algorithms at the moment so your insights are very much welcome.

Three Poetry Writing Exercises. Stretch your writing muscles with these poetry writing exercises.
Writing Prompts That Don't Suck. Thirteen Writing Prompts. [Originally published May 4, 2006.]
Write a scene showing a man and a woman arguing over the man's friendship with a former girlfriend. Do not mention the girlfriend, the man, the woman, or the argument. Write a short scene set at a lake, with trees and shit. Throw some birds in there, too. Choose your favorite historical figure and imagine if he/she had been led to greatness by the promptings of an invisible imp living behind his or her right ear. Write a story that ends with the following sentence: Debra brushed the sand from her blouse, took a last, wistful look at the now putrefying horse, and stepped into the hot-air balloon.
A wasp called the tarantula hawk reproduces by paralyzing tarantulas and laying its eggs into their bodies. Imagine if your favorite character from 19th-century fiction had been born without thumbs. Creative Writing Prompts. You went to bed like any other night and were out like a log in minutes.
But when you woke up, you weren't at home. You were in a car (that wasn't yours), wearing clothes (that weren't yours), and holding a bag full of money (that wasn't yours). Suddenly, a police car turns on... On the wall next to your desk you have the picture of someone you greatly admire. It's been there for a few years, but today you notice something different about the eyes—they are looking in a different direction. Entering the "Oracles Den" at the fair with your significant other seemed novel at first.
Your house always had that spooky charm, what with the old chandeliers, cobwebs everywhere and the occasional knock no one could identify. Margo Roby: Wordgathering. PROMPTed #25 Ego Is Not A Dirty Word. 28 Jul 2012 by Adam Byatt in Uncategorized | Comments Off PROMPTed is a weekly collection of writing prompts to inspire your writing week.
The prompts are loosely grouped under a common theme and include a random line prompt, a photograph, a song/music video, a sensory suggestion and a famous quote. Our guest programmer for the month of July is Adam Byatt. This is my final PROMPTed after having a guest DJ residency. My last one is inspired by a song, that when I first heard it, was immediately hooked by an iconic guitar riff. I've thought of this song about ego, and writers tend to have fragile ones for some reason. Random Line Prompt "You spout so much rubbish the sewage treatment plant wants to lease your mouth," she said.
Photo Sensory The gentle pressure of a shirt collar against the neck as a tie is adjusted. Music Living Colour – Cult of Personality Quote. Writing prompts. I've been asked this question or some variation of it more than a few times in the last few weeks.
I'll make you a deal and tell you a quick story. Here's the quick story … I'd love to keep updating this site, but I'm really, really busy. Some of that busyness can be attributed to being so-close-I-can-taste-it to the end of a doctorate. I have a draft of the dissertation finished and one last class to take.

And, like most programming languages, the SAS System provides an extensive library of "built-in" constant X = SQRT(9562) ; functions. SAS has more than 190 functions for a variety of programming tasks. This tutorial will cover the syntax variable Y = ABS(BAL) ; for invoking functions, an overview of the functions available, examples of commonly used functions, selected expression Z = MAX((BAL-DEBIT),(NEWCAR+GAS)) ; character handling and numeric functions, and some tricks and applications of functions that will surprise you. function Q = ABS(SQRT(ABC-64)) ; In these examples, X is the square root of 9562, Y would be the absolute value of the variable BAL, Y contains the value of the larger of the two expressions, and Q is the absolute value of the square root of ABC minus 64.

The library of functions contains several categories of functions, including: arithmetic (like ABS, MIN, MAX, SQRT), array (e.g., DIM), character handling (e.g., LEFT, RIGHT, SUBSTR, REVERSE, LENGTH), date and time (e.g., TODAY, JULDATE, MDY, INTCK, TIMEPART), financial (e.g., MORT, NPV, SAVING), mathematical (e.g., LOG, EXP), probability (e.g., POISSON, PROBCHI), quantile, random number (e.g., NORMAL, UNIFORM), Beginning Tutorials sample statistics (e.g., MEAN, MIN, MAX, STD, NMISS), special functions (e.g., LAG, PUT INPUT), state and zip Remembering that functions must be used in SAS code, trigonometric and hyberbolic, and truncation statements and that missing values propogate, be aware (ROUND, CEIL, FLOOR).

SAS Language manual specs and your own programmatic testing code to validate your intended results. For example, the MEAN function will return the arithmetic average for the nonmissing arguments, using the number FUNCTIONS vs. PROCEDURES of nonmissings as the denominator. Likewise, SUM totals all the nonmissing arguments. However, if all the Some functions that are commonly used compute the sum arguments are missing, the total will be missing, NOT (SUM), arithmetic mean (MEAN), variance (VAR), zero, which could effect later calculations in your program. standard deviation (STD), minimum value (MIN), and To force a zero total, include the constant on your maximum value (MAX). These functions compute the calculation: same simple descriptive statistics available in PROC MEANS, however. The fundamental difference between X = SUM( A,B,C,D,E,F,0 ); functions and procedures is that a function expects the Y = SUM( OF T1 - T24, 0 ); argument values to supplied across an observation in a SAS data set. Procedures expects one variable value per The functions NMISS and N allow you to determine the observation. number of missing values and nonmissings, respectively, in the argument list.

Issues" will include an impressive tutorial on DATE and TIME functions that will also touch on Y2K. The following publications are also excellent: "Working With SAS DATE and TIME Functions" by Andy Karp, published in the Proceedings of the Twenty First Annual SUGI Conference in Chicago, IL, 1996. "DATE Intervals - The INTCK Function" by Debbie Hoppe published in the Proceedings of the Third Annual SESUG Conference (SouthEast SAS Users Group) in Raleigh, NC, 1995. Conclusion The intent of this paper was not to illustrate the syntax and invocation of every SAS function, but to tantalize. The breadth of 'functionality' provided in invaluable to the SAS programmer. Chances are you've hardcoded a problem for which there exists a function solution. Give Chapter 11 a long, hard look. RECOMMENDATIONS In his book In the Know: SAS Tips and Techniques from Around the Globe, Phil Mason has an interesting chapter that deals with some of the defaults and peculiarities of some SAS functions. The behavior of functions is not always intuitive, and it pays to examine your results and test your code thoroughly. BONUS

An Augusta man is facing a prison term, and possibly an irate mother-in-law, after pleading guilty to defrauding the Department of Energy out of more than $30,000.
Joseph Quinton, 51, appeared in federal court in Columbia on Wednesday and admitted he fraudulently obtained $31,732 from a per diem scheme offered to out-of-state workers at the Savannah River Site.
Quinton claimed that he was maintaining a residence in Florida when working at the DOE site. He submitted copies of a lease, certifications that he resided at the Florida address, as well as a handwritten receipt for payment of rent. In court, he admitted that these documents were false.
Quintons lie was caught when the resident of the Florida home was contacted by investigators. The resident, Quintons mother-in-law, said that she had been the sole occupant of the home for the past decade and that she was not aware of her son-in-laws claims, according to testimony on Wednesday.
The defendant told the court that he admitted the charge as soon as it was brought to him by investigators. Adding that he signed a confession immediately.
Quinton could receive a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for the theft charge. He also faces a fine up to $250,000.
This plea is not the first federal case prosecuted by the U.S. Attorneys Office for charges related to fraud at SRS. A Graniteville man is expected to plead guilty to similar charges today with a hearing scheduled for 10:15 a.m.
In the past two years, the U.S. Attorneys Office has worked with DOEs Office of Investigations to investigate schemes related to American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding. The previous investigations resulted in criminal convictions as well as civil settlements, and the recovery of more than $1 million, of which more than $700,000 was ARRA funding, according to that office.

This hotel ruined our trip to Rome. The sewer backed up in our shower and got all over the floor. There was a sign on the toilet that said don't put toilet paper in the toilet. This tells us the management already knew about the problem and did
not hire a proper plumber to fix it. We lost hundreds of dollars and got no refund even though we only stayed there one night. Horrible!
Avoid this hotel at all costs!
Locations in Rome
Hotel room really clean and comfortable!
A good location and fair price!
Fantastic birthday weekend
This hotel is ideally situated within walking distance of most of the main attractions of Rome - Only 15 minutes from the Colosseum!
The hotel is clean, well kept and comfortable and the staff are fantastic. They are so friendly and super helpful
- Made us feel really welcome!
Our room was beside a street but the windows were completely sound-proof which allowed for a great night's sleep.
The fact that the hotel was so great really added to our enjoyment of our trip.
Huge thanks to Hotel Rome Love.
Excellent location
Basic but clean, friendly and in an excellent location. No more then 10-15 minutes walk from the centre of everything! The Metro is very close but we never need to use it as everything was so close, 20 minute walk and we were in the old city.
Plenty of places to eat locally and breakfast is available within a two minute walk at at least a half a dozen places. We can fully recommend this hotel as a place to stay and will definitely use again.
The hotel will arrange an airport transfer (€50) but we got it for half the cost (€26) by booking online from the UK using wwww.romecabsbooking.com. They were excellent and it was well worth doing. I booked them for the return journey while we were there.
Good value for central Rome
Nicely decorated; attractive room;comfortable bed; close to Termini and Coliseum; some of the staff are very comfortable with English - others Italian only; in spite of being right on a busy square, room was very quiet.
Great break
nice hotel near to everything, staff friendly, room clean, what more could you ask for. didnt spend much time in the hotel as we were doing all the sightseeing possible but it was perfect for our trip. safe in room (free of charge) hotel staff
booked all our tours and were friendly and welcoming.would stay again.

It's about time! Things took off like a rocket in the second quarter. In fact, the gains were so strong that this is the first year in a long time that prices for the year are actually up. Summarizing the results, prices and sales volume are up, inventory, selling time, distressed sales and mortgage rates are down.
Prices for the second quarter were the highest in years, to the point that it positively impacted the results. The average home price for the coast now stands at $759,000, up 12 percent from the first half of last year and up 7 percent from full-year 2011! Prices ranged from $165,000 for a cottage in La Honda to $2,400,000 for an ocean-view Ocean Colony home. Prices peaked in 2007 at $1,031,000 and are down 26 percent since then.
Sales volume has improved considerably over the past three years, our worst stretch in recent years. A total of 137 homes sold this half compared to 109 homes in 2011, 87 in 2010, 52 in 2009 (our worst year), and 206 in 1999, our best year. Volume is up 26 percent from 2011 but down 33 percent from 1999. Distressed sales accounted for 26 percent of total sales this year, down from 35 percent of total sales last year.
What's driving the market now is the tight inventory situation. It ended 2011 at a low level and continued to drop throughout the year. As of June 30, there were 134 total listings of which 73 were available and 61 were sale-pending. Inventory has not risen as much as would normally be the case now due to increased volume and cheap mortgages.
With rising volume and low inventory, homes have been selling faster. Average selling time has fallen to 114 days compared to 134 days in 2011, 118 in 2010 and 51 days in 2005. More than a third — 35 percent — of all sales occurred in less than 30 days. Forty-three percent of all sales in 2005 went over list price compared to 9 percent in 2009, 11 percent 2011 and now 20 percent are selling at more than list.
This chart shows average home prices by quarter from 2006 to present. As you can see, prices were high in 2005, dipped in 2006 (Devil's Slide closure), rebounded in 2007 and have been declining since the beginning of 2008.
Based on what's sold and sale-pending, I expect the third quarter to show prices below this quarter, inventory still tight and sales volume remaining strong. Let's hope the second quarter wasn't a statistical fluke, but the beginning on a nice long-term upward trend.

Key West Day 31, Nanton, AB > Edmonton, AB
I woke early, about 0700, and poked my head out the door only to see I could see my breath. It was 3C. It was a good reason to go back to bed, which I did until about 0900. I ****** around until 1000 when I decided to start the day off with my 3 shirt solution and depart no matter what. It was about 7C, calm winds, blue sky day. It could be worse right? There are environmental conditions we had not experienced, right up to and including hordes of locusts!
The End of the Road - Back to the Beginning
Today is home day. I am sad but glad at the same time, especially after the horrible night I had. The bed here at the Clarion is one of those "sleep number" beds and this one is not working well at all. We had a bed like this last year when we stayed at Niagara Falls and it was marvelous. This one was terrible and I could not get the firmness correct and consequently I had a horrible sleep. All those days on the road and the last night ...

Thanks to David Baker for the update and photo gallery of course conditions. Visit David's blog here.
There are about three inches of snow on the course, which packs down to about 1/2 inch. Everything looks more severe in person, but it's all rideable. I hear they are going to remove snow around the beer garden area, which is about a third of the course.
The pictures in the gallery below are roughly in order, start to finish. The road is currently packed snow: very slick for a start which will be critical if the snow is still around because you start into the section that is not going to be cleared, so good position will be critical because there may be only one line. It looks likely that the snow will still be around Thursday and Friday, but things may change by Saturday. The course could very well be clear of snow and moist (i.e. perfect) by Sunday.

The infamous "Russian Factor" is taking its toll on the sheer number of drafted prospects playing in Russia as nowadays, the NHL franchises are scared to draft directly from Russia, causing many top prospects to decide to cross the pond earlier and play some seasons in the Canadian major junior system in order to improve their chances of being chosen at the NHL Draft.
