Something I dont usually see - Toothpaste! The restaurant in the hotel was great too. Since we were in Buffalo we ordered the Buffalo style wings - some of the best I have had! Lots of Pats fans from out of town - nice atmosphere after a road game.
Bathroom was a little cramped and dated - bathtub could use to be replaced.

This was our second stay at the Mansion. The first was for our wedding night a few years ago. From what I can see, nothing has suffered in these last few years. The staff at the Mansion are wonderful and available to take care of you, whatever you need. Not sure what you need? Ask the staff and they'll help you out. If you like being pampered, this is the place. The place is stunning; take time to wander the Mansion and look at the woodworking and other details.
The only reason I didn't give the facilities a top rating is because some of the cabinets or other fixtures in the room could use replacement. Just some basic wear and tear that is easily remedied.

The Connolly team suggests that efforts by agribusiness can overcome government bureaucracy and corruption, as well as shaping policy in constructive ways. However, they say there are no easy answers and sometimes barriers and opportunities are on both sides of the coin.
They conclude by saying, "According to a recent OECD-FAO presentation65 the 3 billion new people—mostly urban dwellers will require 1 billion tons of cereals and 200 million tons of meat. Building on the evidence that agricultural productivity has improved by 2.6% per annum over the past 10 years; they estimate that productivity will increase a further 1.7% per annum for the next 10. Compounded over the next 35 years, that will allow agribusinesses to generate the requisite 70% increase in food production."
Population growth over the next 40 years will require more food production, estimated to be an additional one billion tons of cereal grains and 200 million tons of meat. But how can that goal be achieved? Agribusiness must be on the team to help overcome: government, loss, infrastructure, markets, policies, science, and the environment.
Can agriculture meet the challenge of feeding 9 billion people?

DC Comics has handed the keys to the "Champion of the Oppressed" to a guy who has dedicated himself to oppress me, and my partner, and millions of people like us. It represents a fundamental misread of who the character is, and what he means.
It is dispiriting. It is wearying. It is also, finally, not for me.
One of the other nicknames that accrued to Superman right away – that predates "Man of Steel" by a good amount – is "The Man of Tomorrow." And much of his early iconography bears a distinctive Socio-Realist, Diego Rivera vibe: a lot of burnished golden sunrises, eyes raised to the horizon, gazing into the future.
Because that's where he lives, Superman. And that's what he says to us: We can do better. We can be better, to ourselves, and to each other.
Hey, DC Comics? Be better."—

It all started as professional photographer Ed Cooley was pursuing his passion looking for the perfect shots in remote areas of the Ozark National Forest in Arkansas when some unstable terrain sent him 30 feet down off the end of a bluff into a creek bed. What followed was a rescue for the ages. For an immediate account of the story, please see the Harrison (Arkansas) Daily. Click Read More below for a summary of the story and more links.
Alone. Pinned under your motorcycle. Outside of cell range. A nightmare for many, this is what Erica from Los Angeles experienced earlier this month. In a remote stretch off Hell's Canyon National Park in Oregon, Erica had nothing but her SPOT to help her.
This week, a small team of environmental activists, adventurers and media professionals are paddling the 130 mile stretch of the Columbia River from Portland, OR to the Pacific Ocean. Through their ethic, "Turning Restoration into Recreation," the paddlers hope to benefit both the Columbia River watershed and those recovering from injuries sustained while serving our country. Click Read More below to learn about their cause and see how they use SPOT to broadcast their Live Map tracking.
The Coast Guard towed a 26-foot boat to shore after it was disabled 28 miles east of Virginia Beach July 11. A 9-1-1 operator contacted the Coast Guard stating they had received a SPOT notification from the vessel School Zone, which indicated their position. Click here to read the news article.
If lightning doesn't strike twice, do two SPOT devices initiate rescues at the same time in the middle of nowhere? Well, that happened on Thursday, July 23, 2009 in the mountains of Strathcona Park, British Columbia, Canada. Two separate sets of hikers were each found within about five kilometers of one another after activating their SPOT Messengers. Read the complete story published by the Comox Valley Echo by clicking Read More.
Dale, a retired community college administrator and instructor, is an avid hiker, backpacker and cyclist. At the age of 67, he now spends most of his free time hiking through the backcountry of Oregon and California alone and with fellow backpackers.
Like many hikers, Dale often worried about connectivity during his travels. This is why SPOT peaked his interest when reading one of his favorite magazines. Soon after, Dale visited REI to purchase his first SPOT device. In celebration of Memorial Day, Dale and 7 other hikers ranging from ages 51 to 74 decided to take a five day trip to Mattole Beach Campground near Petrolia, California. This time, he made sure to add his new SPOT Gen 3™ as a "must bring" item.

What is UV protection?
Is lens color important?
AC (All conditions) Red lenses offer an enhanced view in cloudy or foggy weather. AC red lenses provide contrast in mid to low lighting conditions.
The GT (Golf/Tennis) lens has a greenish smoke tint that is known for its object illumination properties. This lens enhances the wearer's ability to pick up a ball in flight.
The EC (extreme contrast) lens is ideal for situations where high contrast is a must, such as when reading greens on the golf course or picking up the lines of a single track. This purple lens filters out the hazy blue light spectrum that is responsible for optical blurring and distortion.

I guess I'd go with flirty, but let's get one thing straight - I'm not your typical seductress. I tend to have a more direct, fun, and somewhat ridiculous approach to getting a man's (or woman's) attention. I definitely don't take "flirting" too seriously, and I won't hesitate to walk right up to someone and initiate a conversation. This usually happens when I'm (A.) playing wing woman or (B.) completely unaware that I'm even flirting. The last time I picked up a girl for my friend at a bar, she wanted to go home with me, so I guess I must be doing something right...

I read T8's post on gestation and gave thought and checked on a few things.
Here's what I have;
Head gear of young bucks; Fawn bucks normally sport "buttons", but spike youngster aren't rare. And long yearlings have been well noted to sport 10 racks, though small and lacking mass.
Button bucks; Wife killed one her first time shotgunning. Weighed in at 150 pounds.
Spike bucks; One I let pass, and was chewed out for not shooting, sported spikes well over a foot long, somewhat straight up. I was impressed and just watched him.
Spike bucks; ??? One of the largest ever killed in Fulton county weighed a impressive 309 pounds. Said was it field dressed when weighed. No official aging was noted to my knowledge. Still, bucks don't always produce racks of norm. So I wonder if it was a buck of some age, not a long yearling.
Long yearlings; 10 point rack long yearling. I killed one years back by mistake during shotgun season.
Not really small for size other than his main beams and tines where thin, maybe double the diameter of a lead pencil. I didn't know he was there. I shot a doe, I thought, but she took off running and not lookin hit at all. I shot her a second time and dropped her. Upon inspection I had hit her only once. Still in sight of where I was standing I looked to where she was when I shot the first time. Mercy! And there lay the buck. Evidently, he was feeding and when the does head came up and I shot. Check stations still going back then, he was aged a long yearling.
Big deer do not necessarily have big racks. My largest weight deer weighed over 310 pounds. His 10 point rack scored 126 even. He was aged at 3 1/2 years old.
Heavy deer; I believe the Illinois or Indiana record is held by a doe. Said was she tipped the scales at 390 pounds and said to have been sterile.
Had to be the most embarrassing moment in deer hunting history; Man was at check station checking in his buck. Newbie or for whatever reason the man did not field dress his "kill." I understand he was 3 or 5 vehicles back in line when the all H__ broke loose. His "killed" buck woke up! Banging around it got out of the trailer, jumped a car or truck and went off through the town of Lewistown, Illinois. Lewistown is about 7 miles from me.

Kitchens & Baths How-To
Granite counter tops
We are getting ready to renovate our kitchen and will be adding granite counter tops. We have hear 2 different opinions from contractors 1. doing countertops with granit and NOT putting a 2" backsplash made of the granite 2. putting an extra piece of granite on the back (backsplash area). This contractor is telling us that this will then not allow the granite to move and cause a space between the granit and the wall/title. We have seen it both ways but more often without the additonal piece. Which way should we go?
I don't understand the issue. Once granite is installed it stays in place, it's heavy. We have some 4 inch backsplashes in the family room and we have granite in the kitchen without any granite backsplash, which is meant to have a tile backsplash. I've always considered this a matter of style. Ask Chicago Stonepro, he's an expert on granite and stone.
I've seen it both ways also, but usually when advising a client we just do the tile backsplash that coordinates with the granite being used. A design colleague of mine in AZ did a gorgeous granite backsplash of the same granite on the countertops but it was very asymentrical and looked sort of like an outline of hills - it may sound awful, but it was truly beautiful and unique.
Just one word about the granite you use - and you may already know this - be sure you go to the granite yard yourself and pick out your own slab(s) - they will tag them with your name and the name of your fabricator so you'll know exactly what is going into your space. It's impossible to pick out a slab from a tiny sample because it varies so much slab to slab, especially if there is a lot of movement and color in it.
Hi Gutzy,
The contractor is talking about the line where the wall plane and countertop plane meet. The filler in this line always cracks, unless it's flexible. The way around this is to use color matched caulk, not grout.
Most times, the tile guy will grout the line, and after the grout has set and dried, will caulk over it with clear silicone. This doesn't keep the grout from cracking, but it usually keeps the grout in place.
A slab backsplash will still expand and contract differently than the tile in the same plane, so you'll still get the crack in the line where the tile meets the slab backsplash, but it's a smaller effect, so initially the crack is smaller, any grout tends to stay in place longer.
Realistically, anytime you have a change in material - e.g., wood to tile, glass to stone, tile to slab - that line needs to be filled with something flexible. It's just physics.
The contractor seems to have an incomplete understanding of this.
Basically, it's a design issue, nothing more.
I like those creative splashes too. Sometimes, the designer wants them to remain broken-edge, which also looks nice. There's a showroom just north of Chicago that first showed such a piece about 20 years ago. Not for every design, but where it works, it's spectacular.
One more thing, Gutzy,
I agree, going to the slab warehouse to select your slabs isn't optional. You have to go, and bring a door front, if you can.
Then, bring samples home, to test them in the light in your home.
In addition, make sure you have pieces broken or cut from the actual slab you are considering, because you need to test the material that's actually going to be installed. You're going to do a lemon test, to make sure the stuff is okay for your kitchen.
The test is easy: Slice a fresh lemon, half or slices, press it onto the surface of the stone sample, leave it on the stone for a couple hours, or even overnight. If the material is right for a kitchen, it won't matter how long you leave the lemon slice on the stone. Remove the lemon, rinse the sample, wipe it dry.
If the lemon left an impression that is lighter than the surrounding stone, the stone is sensitive to food acids, and you should find another material. If the stone is darker where the lemon was, that's just liquid absorbed into the stone. You can leave it dry out for a day or two, and it should lighten. If it stays darker, that's probably just oil from the lemon peel.
You can seal stone against oil. You can NOT seal stone against etching. If it etches, stay away from it.
Sounds like a design issue to me, Gutzy so don't understand the contractors' involvement. Up to them to properly install it - not make design decisions, IMHO.
One concern I had from reading your post - is the contractor upcharging you on the granite/materials?
Personally, I would go with a full-sized (not merely 2") tile backsplash. You can always enhance that with glass or marble tile as your budget permits, to your taste.
Or, again, if you prefer and your budget allows, go with the granite backsplash, understanding the installation issues involved so you can supervise the project, if necessary. (Do you have a gc? Project Manager? Someone overseeing the subs?)
Definitely agree - you must go to the stoneyard and select your slab.
Good Luck! All, JMHO.
The price difference between 2" and 3" or 4" splash is nothing. To me, it seems rather silly to think someone is getting ripped off because of this difference.
As I posted above, the contractor has a viewpoint, rooted in reality - cracked and missing grout where the tile meets the top - but the solution is really to use color matched caulk, regardless of which design detail is installed.
As to "only" a 2" splash, I was actually on a site today, working with and advising a client whose kitchen was designed by Mick DeGiulio - and the backsplash was 2" slab, with tile the rest of the way up. The home is actually a small mansion, on a private subdivision, on a private golf course, in one of Chicago's old north shore suburbs.
I was working in the kitchen, master bath, and the bath/shower off the large heated indoor pool.
Here's a link to De Giulio's website:
De Giulio
Two inch slab splashes are nothing new. I've been doing them for Italian, Spanish, and French designers for more than 20 years.
If this client was ripped off somehow, it wasn't over the backsplash.
Myself, I've seen lots of remodeling contractors make great design calls, so I wouldn't be so quick to trash the contractor without knowing the job. I was addressing the technical justification for the design call - not questioning the design.
Don't think Chicago stonepro is advertising one bit. He's been on these boards for a couple of years and in my estimation is doing a service by providing sound advice about products he knows so well.
Blueday, StonePro is a valuable contributor to these forums and I look for his inputs. I don't think he was being critical of you or Gutzy but was just telling us what he knows from his experience.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Bob Fleming,
Wow. Thanks, Bob and mamaspoon.
Well, Gutzy has two contractors under consideration. I don't know them, and I don't know her kitchen.
Gutzy is doing what we all do - homework, to make a better decision. This is one detail only, but it matters to her, and I respect that. Obviously, she wants to know if one of the contractors is blowing smoke.
I really don't know if the contractor is trying to blow smoke, because there IS something to the issue he raised. His solution may be the best he's seen, in his experience. I have some insight into the issue, have an opinion, and posted it for her. I hope it's of use to her, and others who will read this.
As to designers, project managers, general contractors, etc, I work with these all the time, and other posts of mine have recommended folks to use them, depending on their circumstances.
Gutzy will surely continue to do her due diligence.
Gutzy, the only thing I might add is this: If either of those contractors becomes irate and offensive and starts bad-mouthing the other contractor during a civil discussion, you're likely in the presence of someone you'd not want to invite into your home, and give your money to.
Funny how things come to mind sometimes.
Wow! Sorry I really wasn't putting down either way I have just seen it both ways and was curious to know which way people prefer. An update: We have decided to not do the blacksplash and do all tile behind the counter. Also, we are actually going to go with Cambria vs. Granite.
Thanks to all of you for your opinions.
Good luck with your project, Gutzy. I'm sure you'll be happy with the Cambria.
Bob, I appreciate your sentiment but CS patronized me on a previous thread and then misstated my post to perpetuate the argument here. I've engaged and managed numerous gc's and subs so I have a highly developed bs meter.
mamaspoon, longevity on a public forum doesn't confirm competence, to me. In fact, the opposite may be true, IMHO. (None of our guys have the time to post on even one forum, let alone multiple ones.) If CS doesn't intend to advertise, then I'm sure he will promptly remove his standard signature lines and all other identifying information from his posts. He has absolutely no other valid reason to include that information on each post.This message has been edited. Last edited by: blueday,
Hello, I've been reading your discussions here, although I am not really experts about the installation and house renovation but it did started my interest to it, when my husband did asked for help for my kitchen to remodel and redesign it. He went to an expert to asked for a help. It was Cumar, Inc., they installed a granite counter tops, I was amazed and then I realized that it is a fun hobby and the rest was history, my children also helped me a lot. I hope I can hear more interesting topic with you guys since I am still a newbie for this stuff. Thanks a lot!This message has been edited. Last edited by: myratalena,
We have finished our project. I really like it and anxious to hear what you think. Here is a picture.
You forgot to post the px. Will you redo? We always like to look.
where's the pic? i want to see on how they did it,
"You can seal stone against oil. You can NOT seal stone against etching. If it etches, stay away from it."
Not according to www.clearstoneusa.com
Would be great to see a picture after reading all the posts. Hopefully you will post it soon?

I definitely agree with 16paws, when said that granites stay in place as they are heavy. We have the same set up at home.

Spiritual intimacy in marriage is about more than just spending time in God's Word. It's about learning how to connect with your spouse through your faith.
Often times, couples say that they "can't connect with their spouse" because they're not in the same place spiritually. But, there are small things you can do as a couple to become more like-minded in your spiritual walk.
You can start building intimacy in your spiritual life by praying daily for your spouse and your relationship as a couple. Without spending hours in prayer, you can set aside 10 minutes a day, whether morning or night, to go before God with prayers for your marriage.
If you and your spouse aren't connecting around church, don't set high expectations for your spouse to attend church with you every Sunday. Instead, see if they would be willing to attend once a month. Don't set the bar so high that you're doomed to failure. Remember: small steps along the way make a big difference down the road.
But, what if your spouse won't attend church at all? Dig deep into God's Word, stay faithful in attending church and commit every part of your relationship with your spouse to prayer. In Matthew 19:26, Jesus states that "… with God all things are possible." If you stay fervent in your commitment to the Lord, He'll honor your faithfulness.
The saying "Fail to plan, plan to fail" is so true when couples desire to experience spiritual growth together. The following articles offer additional great ideas on how set up a plan for spiritual intimacy within your marriage.
Helping families thrive in partnership with you.
He shook his head dolefully as we talked about our future marriage and my thoughts on spiritual intimacy. "I'm not so sure I'm knowledgeable enough to be the spiritual partner you need me to be," Dale said. "You know the Bible so much better than I do. You've been a Christian decades longer than I have."
Over the course of our conversation, Dale realized that God's plan for spiritual intimacy did not depend on how much time we'd spent in a church — or even the amount of understanding we each had of spiritual things. We both deeply loved God, and that was a great place to start building a spiritual foundation.
Since we'd both been single for many years, we were used to deepening our relationship with Christ on our own. We had to learn how to share our deeply personal spiritual lives and grow together as a couple. As we've worked to deepen our spiritual intimacy, I've learned a few things along the way.
Dale's steps in creating a Christ-focused home were not what I had expected, but our life together has ended up even better than anything I had planned. The tone and attitude he established set a firm foundation for our marriage.
I may have subconsciously expected to marry a pastorlike man. Dale did not live up to my unrealistic expectations, but he did fulfill the role God designed for him in our marriage. Though he didn't sit me down every night for an hour of prayer and Bible study, Dale lived out 1 Corinthians 13. He incorporated the fruits of the Spirit into everyday living, and he directed many of our conversations to what Jesus would say or do.
In such an atmosphere, instead of holding on to my preconceived expectations, I enjoyed the journey of growing together spiritually.
One of the most productive things I found I could do is encourage and empower Dale with genuine love and appreciation. When I see him take a positive spiritual step, simple affirmation gives him the courage to continue building our spiritual intimacy.
I watch for those moments — when he takes the risk to pray in a group or comments during one of our Bible studies. I make sure I let him know how proud I am of him and acknowledge his initiative. As I applaud his efforts to seek God, our spiritual relationship grows stronger day by day.
Naturally, I sometimes wish my husband would change in certain ways, but I know better than to nag or criticize. One friend of mine thought that if she nagged her husband enough, he'd take his rightful place as a Christian husband. Instead, she built a wall of criticism that kept him from even trying. Now, years later, they are spiritual strangers.
As I take my concerns to God, He teaches me to be patient and entrust my husband to Him. At the same time, I must continue pursuing my own growth without worrying that my husband might fall behind. We're not running a race but traveling together on a lifelong journey; the progress of either one of us benefits both.
Dale and I keep in mind that we are a team. So we make plans together regarding our spiritual life: church involvement, small-group connections, goals for prayer, Bible study, tithing and other disciplines. We address all these things as a couple, even if both of us don't participate in all of them at the time.
Though each of us may grow in different areas at different times, we will stay connected spiritually as long as we work as a team and pray for each other. Praying daily is especially important to us — whether together or on our own. As we cover each other in prayer, our hearts and minds naturally come to a special place of love and desire to see God work in our spouse.
As we've encouraged and accepted one another, and trusted God in the areas where we fall short, we've found that our spiritual intimacy is one of the most beautiful aspects of our marriage.
Scripture teaches that marriage is ordained by God and part of His original design for us as well as a foreshadowing of our eternal relationship with Him.
My husband was intruding on my time with God, and I didn't like it.
For 10 years I had risen early each morning to read the Bible and pray. Since my husband, Don, preferred to sleep in, the timing was perfect. Before Don got up, before the phone started ringing, before my busy day started, I could focus exclusively on God.
I memorized Scripture verses. I prayed for friends who would be waking up to a day filled with grief or sickness. I seldom began a day without asking God to take away my will and replace it with His.
I savored my quiet, uninterrupted time with God until one morning I looked up and saw Don walking into the room. With his eyes barely opened, he announced that he wanted to join my early morning practice.
I tried to hide my shock and disappointment. This has to be a whim, I thought. It won't last.
The next morning, we took a trial run. I told Don what I usually did during this time. He gave me a thumbs-up, stretched out on the couch and promptly fell asleep before I had even finished reading the Scriptures.
I hoped Don would tell me that this wasn't going to work. At the same time, I felt guilty about my unwilling attitude. I knew there were other wives who would love to share a time like this with their husbands.
After the first few mornings, Don avoided the couch. But even while he was sitting in a chair, he sometimes fell asleep when it was my turn to pray. Since Don had so much trouble staying awake, we decided to eat breakfast first. After the meal, Don was alert and ready to participate.
What I thought would last only a few days has now continued for more than 30 years. Don and I begin our time together by reading the Bible. Sometimes we use devotional books, but most of the time we simply read and discuss Scripture. We tell each other about our plans for the day. We discuss the needs of our friends, church and nation, noting the requests in a prayer notebook. When prayers are answered, we write TYL (Thank You, Lord) by the recorded names.
We spend a lot of time praying for God's protection for our daughters and their families. We often use a prayer based on Colossians 1:9-10: "Lord, we ask You to help our children and their families to understand what You want them to do. We ask You to make them wise about spiritual things. We ask that the way they live will always please and honor You so they will be doing good, kind things for others, while they are learning to know You better and better. We also pray that they will be filled with Your mighty, glorious strength so they will keep on going no matter what happens — always full of the joy of the Lord."
Sometimes my husband surprises me by telling God how much he loves me. I hear his genuine concern for me — a concern that doesn't always come out in other ways. Some mornings, as Don is praying, I am overwhelmed at the depth of his love for me. Silently, I ask God to make me worthy of such love.
Together, we have unearthed one of the most overlooked secrets for a strong marriage — going into God's presence together to pray and read His Word.
In hindsight, I now see that it was God, not Don, who intruded into my quiet mornings so many years ago. Our all-wise Father knew these times together would not only draw us closer to Him but would also help us grow more in love with each other. TYL.
Every time you and your spouse pray separately for one another, great things happen in your relationship. Prayer is truly powerful. But when you pray together, that power increases tremendously, and so do the results. Going to God in prayer as a couple benefits your marriage in several ways:
On the day you and your spouse were married, you became one in the eyes of God. From that moment on, however, there is still a process of becoming one in your everyday lives. The living out of this unity doesn't just happen; it takes time and effort.
The most difficult thing about a marriage is that there are two people in it. If you were just trying to work through things by yourself, you could certainly do a good job of it. But in marriage you have to mesh your dreams, desires, attitudes, assumptions, needs and habits with those of your spouse. The effort to do so can cause strife. When you pray with your spouse, you are drawn into unity with God and, as a result, with one another.
Just as physical intimacy reaffirms your oneness, so does praying together. When you pray as a couple, you are not only communicating with God, but also with each other. You can learn so much about one another by sharing prayer requests and listening to each other pray.
For a marriage to last and be happy and fulfilling, three parties need to be involved: the husband, the wife and the Lord.
All marriages have problems because they are made up of two imperfect people. But if you add the presence of a perfect God, then you have unlimited possibilities for drawing closer to what God intended for marriage. Whether that happens is determined by how frequently and how fervently God is invited into your relationship. The more you pray together, the more you will see God do great things.
I know that praying together works because I have seen its power demonstrated in my own marriage. Over the years my husband and I have struggled with many different issues, and at times I have felt that all hope was lost. Yet in those moments of despair, God intervened; He changed our hearts and taught us how to make our marriage whole.
Through the ups and downs of 34 years of marriage, my husband and I have changed a lot for the better. We're not perfect — far from it — but we are living proof that by praying together, your relationship can change. A husband and wife certainly can't change each other, and they can never change as much as they would like. But God can change them both if they invite Him to do so. No matter what struggles a couple have, if they keep praying together, they can see things turn around.
If you or your spouse feels uncomfortable or embarrassed praying out loud in front of the other, don't be discouraged. Many people have felt that way and overcome it. Ask God to help you. Ask Him to teach you and your spouse how to pray together so you can have the marriage He wants you to have.
Now that we have the plan, what do we do as a couple when we pray together? A basic premise to keep in mind is the importance of praying for each other. Although the Bible doesn't say directly, "Husbands and wives, pray for each other," it does say in James 5:16 that we are to "pray for each other so that you may be healed." That certainly includes husbands praying for wives and wives praying for husbands. One couple said, "Every time we pray together, we begin by praying a blessing over each other. We do this to edify our spouse and make them feel loved."
One of the things we do is find different prayers in the Bible and then agree to pray them for each other. For example, one of our favorites is a prayer Paul prayed for the Philippians in chapter 1, verses 9 and 10. He writes:
This is my prayer; that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ.
This is my prayer; that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ.
We've found this prayer to be a beautiful expression of what we want to experience in our marriage. We often use it as our theme verse for the couples' retreats we lead. Here's the way Dave would pray this for Jan:
"Father, I pray this for Jan, that her love will abound more and more in both knowledge and depth of insight, so that she will be able to discern what is the best, and will be pure and blameless until the day Christ returns."
"Father, I pray this for Jan, that her love will abound more and more in both knowledge and depth of insight, so that she will be able to discern what is the best, and will be pure and blameless until the day Christ returns."
You might want to read through Paul's letters, and other books of the Bible, looking for prayers that you can pray for each other. This can be a very meaningful way to pray for your spouse. If you don't use these prayers when you actually pray with your spouse, then show your spouse the passage and explain that you are saying that prayer for him or her.
When you're newly married, and all is sweetness and light, it seems easy to overlook differences of preference—which restaurant to go to, what TV show to watch, where to go on summer vacation—in order to please your spouse. This time of agreement often extends to your choice of what church to attend.
As you settle into your relationship, however, feelings about some preferences gain importance.
For many couples, the birth of their first child seems to trigger a closer look at the church or faith tradition in which they want their children to be reared. Differences of opinion about what church to attend become more intense when the debate centers not just on varying worship styles but also on differences in deeply held doctrines and worldviews—even if those differences never had seemed all that serious before.
Frequently spouses discover a desire to return to the traditions in which they were raised. Or they want just the opposite—avoiding reminders of unhappy religious experiences in their own childhoods, against which they rebelled.
Here are a few principles you might want to consider—especially if you and your spouse are having trouble in this area.
If you're at an impasse on this issue, don't despair. Keep praying with each other that God will give you a solution. Examine your own motives, asking yourself why you find it so hard to accommodate your spouse. You may discover that this argument is a symptom of deeper problems in your relationship—control needs, conflict management, or plain old selfishness. Address these issues—in Christian marriage counseling, if necessary.
Most couples, if they're seeking to please God and not just themselves, do eventually find a church where both spouses are satisfied. You can, too.

If you or your spouse have had a bad church experience in the past, you're not alone.
Approximately 22 million Americans say they are Christians and have made a faith commitment to Jesus Christ. They say that commitment is still important to them, but they have struggled with faith or relational issues and therefore quit going to church. Tens of thousands more will join their ranks this week.
Like a safe harbor, local churches can be a second home for many people. Sadly, churches also can be the setting for some of the harshest attacks against our faith.
Problems tend to arise when people are:
If you're still struggling with a bad church experience, you're not alone. The good news is that it's possible for you to make a healthy recovery.
Many people have found it helpful to use a journal to record some of their recovery steps, but there are many steps you can try along with your spouse:
Leaving your church under bad circumstances can lead to the temptation to abandon church entirely. Here's what some prominent Christians have had to say about spiritual drifiting:
"At a deep level I sense the church contains something I desperately need. Whenever I abandon church for a time, I find that I am the one who suffers. My faith fades, and the crusty shell of lovelessness grows over me again. I grow colder rather than hotter. And so my journeys away from church have always circled back inside." — Philip Yancey
"Life is full of people who 'used to believe.' But because things turned out darkerand tougher than they supposed, they have decided that 'there can't be a God to let things like that happen.' But 'things like that' have always happened, to all sorts of people; even to Christ." — J. B. Phillips
"Maybe if you have money, health and a busy schedule, you don't feel the need to fellowship with other Christians. But when the storms of life hit — and they will — suddenly you'll find nobody's there. If you remain shallow in your relationship to your local church, you will lose out on the support of other Christians when you need it most." — Luis Palau

What can you do when you and your spouse don't have the same level of spiritual maturity or interest? The answer doesn't lie in lecturing or manipulating your mate. Instead, consider the following five actions you can take to better understand your spouse and make the concept of spiritual growth more intriguing to him or her.
Whether your spouse is a new Christian, a non-Christian, or just a nonplussed Christian, it's hard not to overreact when he or she doesn't seem to care about the most important thing in your life. But try to remember that God loves your mate even more than you do. He may even be taking your partner on a journey that will ultimately produce a deeper faith.In any event, be careful. God may choose to reach out to your spouse through you, but He doesn't need your help. Sadly, spiritual conflicts are often made worse by a spouse attempting to jump-start a mate's conscience or play the role of the Holy Spirit.
While perfection isn't possible or even necessary, your behavior can attract or repel your spouse where spiritual growth is concerned. You're living out what you're experiencing with God. Is it appealing? Is your relationship with Christ making you a more enjoyable person to live with—or just a more religious one?Those who languish spiritually especially need to see the real deal. Your mate will benefit from your companionship when you're serious about your devotion to Christ and realistic about your struggles, too.
You should not only share your faith with your spouse, but your concerns as well. It would be hypocritical to pretend you're not worried when a spouse struggles spiritually. But how you share may be as important as what you share. Very few spouses would react negatively to comments like, "I know you're going to be safe to share this with, but it's still not easy to admit I'm worried about you."The spouse who struggles with faith issues needs a gentle partner to come home to. A holier-than-thou approach is sure to deepen the divide—not only between your partner and yourself, but also between your partner and God (and it can't do much for your own walk with Christ, either). Nobody wants to be smothered or judged or patronized. It's not an issue of spiritual leadership or authority; it's just human nature to pull away when someone invades your space physically or emotionally.When you're honest about your own faith issues, you assure your spouse that it's part of the journey to have questions and doubts. Your transparency can be especially healing if your mate has felt—accurately or not—that spirituality has become a competition in your marriage. This process applies the scriptural idea of comforting others with the same comfort you've received (2 Corinthians 1:4).
There's no doubt about the importance of faith. But it's possible to lose a healthy perspective, especially when you feel your mate's Christian commitment is at stake. Even though you believe you can trust God with your partner's spiritual development, you may try to take matters into your own hands.Sometimes a concerned spouse drops hints or invites others to offer unsolicited counsel to the spiritually indifferent spouse. While well intended, these approaches are manipulative. Others withdraw from a mate and become excessively involved with church or other religious endeavors.Make no mistake: You can't be too devoted to Christ. Nor should you minimize your faith to accommodate your spouse. But overspiritualization and hyper-religiosity will hinder your efforts as much as falling into the opposite ditch of apathy.
Before you sum up your spouse's struggle as merely a "sin issue," take some time to consider his context. What was his religious experience as a child? Was his faith nurtured or hindered? Was his parents' faith meaningful or a chore? Has he experienced a personal relationship with Christ or mere religion?The Bible is clear: We're not authorized to judge others (Matthew 7:1). Sometimes in marriage we're prone to judge because of what we know—or think we know—about our spouses.We do know, however, that God cares about our mates. The struggle may take time, and may even challenge our faith. In the meantime, we can trust Him to nurture our spouses and our marriages.
Pre-marital training helps couples stay together. In fact, couples who participate in premarital programs experience a 30% increase in marital success over those who do not participate.
What was a great idea now seemed to be just another thing to do in our busy schedule. Our small group had decided to volunteer for an outreach project. We would drive to the inner city, meet at a church whose home was an old warehouse and package food for a developing country.
My husband arrived home after a long day at work. We looked at each other with that same sense of weariness, just wanting to stay home and exhale after an exhausting day. But we hopped in the car and headed downtown.
We pulled up to the old building and entered through the side door. There were two tables with bags of grains, measuring cups and a small scale. The staff person led us over to our workstations and assigned us each a task. Within minutes, we were working in rhythm with praise music blaring in the background.
After about two and a half hours of work, we looked at how many boxes of food we had prepared. Each of us had paid $20 for the food we packaged. Each volunteer gave about four hours of our time. And our little investment provided more than 3,000 meals to hungry people!
On the way home, my husband and I talked about the multiplication factor. We had given so little and that little had accomplished so much. My husband and I were no longer weary from a long day. We left energized and deeply convicted to live with the awareness of the needs around us. And we felt closer as a couple.
What does it mean for married couples to give a sacrifice of love? Look around and you will find that most marriages are stressed out and overcommitted. We all get so busy that it's hard to find time to serve or invest in people in a significant way. And yet this is what we are called to do.
Christian couples have something to offer, even though we feel otherwise at times. We have our hearts, our time and the wisdom God has given us from life experiences. Going into a cocoon isn't healthy for our marriage, our family or the body of Christ.
We are called to love and influence the world by helping others. Here are a few ways you can get involved in your own community and make a difference as couples:
Serve together as a couple, giving God the best of what you have. He deserves it — and so do others.

Practice in Ministry and Mission provides the opportunity to integrate classroom learning with practical experience in a teaching congregation or other setting for ministry. Placement in an approved teaching congregation or other setting for ministry (e.g., campus ministry, social justice ministry) in which students experience a broad range of ministerial learning activities. These internships involve 800 hours of supervised ministry for M.Div. students and 400 hours for M.A. students. Students can satisfy this requirement through one of the following means:
In all instances, Learning Partners from the host placements will help students develop individual learning goals. They will engage together in regular theological reflection and in evaluation of student learning.
During a part-time year-long internship, students are involved in the life of a congregation or ministry setting for eight to ten working hours each week through the academic year (including the winter months but not normally the summer). Students engaged in part-time internships will also attend an on-campus colloquy led by a faculty member and a pastoral co-leader over the course of the internships. There is a required day of PMM orientation held at the seminary for all students and their learning partners prior to the beginning of these part-time internships. One part-time year-long internship is worth 4 academic credits. PMM placements are determined by May 1 for the following fall semester.
During full-time summer internships, students are engaged in ministry for 40 hours each week for ten weeks. Students may not be registered for any other courses at Seminary during the 10 weeks. Colloquies are held as hybrid on-line courses during the summer internship, inlcuding two face-to-face meetings; one in mid April and one at the beginning of the Fall Semester. M. Div. students may utilize any combination of a full-time summer internship and part-time year-long internships to satisfy their PMM degree requirement; M.Div. students utilizing a non-congregational placement during the summer internship, however, are expected to fulfill the remainder of their PMM in a congregation setting. One full-time summer internship is worth 4 academic credits. PMM Placements for the summer are determined by March 1.
In specific approved situations, students may satisfy the internship requirement by means of a full-time internship year. An internship year involves a full-time (35-40 hours per week) placement in a ministry setting for a full academic year (Fall and Spring semester). While engaged in a full-time Internship Year, students may not be registered for any other courses at Seminary except under special circumstances. One full-time year long internship is worth 8 academic credits. Students interested in an internship should review the guidelines and contact the Practice in Ministry and Mission Office. Download the Instructions for Internship Guide here.
Wesley's Student Pastor Program (SPP) is available only to students who are serving pastoral appointments at the time they enter Wesley Theological Seminary. Students who receive pastoral appointments after beginning studies at Wesley may use their pastoral appointment as PMM placements through one of the other options listed but not through the Student Pastor Program. Prospective students who think they might qualify for this program should contact Rev. Tom Brunkow (SPP Coordinator), LaTaska Nelson (SPP Administrator), or the Admissions Office. More

Detecting Learning Disabilities
Diagnosing a Learning Disability continued...
However, the following may be signs of a learning disorder:
- Lack of enthusiasm for reading or writing
- Trouble memorizing things
- Working at a slow pace
- Trouble following directions
- Trouble staying focused on a task
- Difficulty understanding abstract ideas
- Lack of attention to detail, or too much attention to detail
- Poor social skills
- Disruptiveness
If you suspect a learning disorder, talk to your child's pediatrician or teacher about having your child evaluated. It may be necessary to see several specialists before you get a definitive diagnosis. These specialists might include a clinical psychologist, a school psychologist, a developmental psychologist, an occupational therapist, or a speech and language therapist, depending on the problems your child is having. They will perform a variety of tests and assessments to get to the bottom of the problem.
Early Detection of Learning Disabilities
Knowing the early signs of a possible learning disability can help parents get their child the help he or she needs as soon as possible. That's why it is important to pay attention to your child's developmental milestones. Delays such as late walking or talking or trouble with socialization can be signs of a learning disorder in toddlers and preschoolers.
Treating Learning Disorders
Special education is the most common treatment for learning disorders. Under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), all U.S. children with learning disorders are entitled to receive special education services for free in public schools.
After doing an evaluation to pinpoint where your child is having problems, a team of special educators will create an individualized education program (IEP) for your child that outlines what special services he needs to thrive at school. Special educators will then help your child build on his strengths and teach him ways to compensate for his weaknesses.
Many resources are also available outside of the public school system, including:
- Private schools that specialize in treating children with learning disabilities
- After-school programs designed for children with learning disabilities
- At-home tutoring and therapy services
A learning disability doesn't have to be a roadblock to success. With the right tools, people with learning disabilities can overcome any challenge.
Parenting a Child With a Learning Disability
Finding out your child has a learning disability can be overwhelming. Many parents find the process of diagnosing a learning disability incredibly frustrating, and then once the diagnosis comes, they face an uphill battle to get their child the help he or she needs.
The best thing you can do as a parent is simply to love and support your child. These tips can also help you help your child:
1. Learn everything you can. Get all the facts about your child's learning disability and how it affects the learning process. Research services and supportive strategies so that you'll be able to take an active role in deciding on the right treatment for your child.

77 Shadow Streetby Dean Koontz
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Welcome to the Pendleton. Built as a tycoon's dream home in the 1880s and converted to luxury condominiums not quite a century later, the Gilded Age palace at the summit of Shadow Hill is a sanctuary for its fortunate residents. Scant traces remain of the episodes of madness, suicide, mass murder—and whispers of things far worse—that have scarred its grandeur almost from the beginning.
But now inexplicable shadows caper across walls, security cameras relay impossible images, phantom voices mutter in strange tongues, not-quite-human figures lurk in the basement, elevators plunge into unknown depths. With each passing hour a terrifying certainty grows: Whatever drove the Pendleton's past occupants to their unspeakable fates is at work again. And as nightmare visions become real, as a deadly tide begins to engulf them, the people at 77 Shadow Street will find the key to humanity's future . . . if they can survive to use it.
Includes the bonus novella The Moonlit Mind—first time in print

Hudson Valley
WARREN COUNTY, N.Y. -- Sheriff's deputies are looking for help in finding the suspect in a home invasion robbery Saturday afternoon in the Town of Warrensburg.
