Hello. My name is Michael Cretaro. I live in upstate New York. I am a parishioner of St. Agatha's Catholic Church and have been all of my life. My brother John was an ordained Deacon. My Catholic faith is more than just something that is important to me. It defines who I am and why I am here. It defines where I am going and how I view the world and treat others. It is the very reason that I am able to make sense of how things work in the world today. My catholic faith gives me wisdom and understanding. And with God's grace it helps me to explain these things in writing to those who are drawn to them by the Holy Spirit. I have self published a book entitled "Questions from the Creator". It takes 63 questions from the bible and answers them in a way that enables the reader to understand what is really being said. In my writing I remain true to the teachings of the Church for I do not believe in things otherwise. I have had experience in doing radio shows and writing for the local diocesan Catholic newspaper. Some of the people who have been a influential blessing on me are Dr. Scott Hahn of the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio and EWTN as well as the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, whom I love. I am 53 years old and live with my sister Mary. I am single and have no children, leaving my free time to serve the Lord and his Church according to his will. I am very thankful for and excited about this opportunity. Thank you.

Rob Marco
Rob Marco is a happily married father of three living in southeastern Pennsylvania. After a few years in high school exploring Buddhism and Hare Krishna, he had a profound conversion experience of encountering Christ and converted to Catholicism in 1998, his freshman year of college. In 2002 he moved to the inner-city to help run a Catholic Worker house of hospitality for homeless men with drug and alcohol addictions and to minister to the poor. He spent ten years discerning a vocation to monastic life, and at one point sold everything he had and bought a school bus, which he renovated to live in as an urban hermit on the streets of Philadelphia. Rob is active in the work of the New Evangelization, starting a Catholic street evangelization apostolate in his area to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, and regularly visits men incarcerated in prison. He holds a B.A. in Geography from Penn State University, and a M.A. in Theology from Villanova University.

Step Outside the Relationship Box with Intuition~
When we define ourselves as different from our partners, we put them in a box. This blocks the intuitive connection that naturally flows between two people in a loving relationship. It prevents deep understanding. The truth is our differences are purely superficial. We may be wearing different costumes for this lifetime and playing completely different roles. But we're all made from the same– divine energy. And we're all on the same journey–evolving to our highest potential as we try to raise consciousness on Planet Earth.
We've all been here many times before as men, women, heroes, villains, soldiers, and saints. We each experience every path before our soul's evolution is complete. This lifetime, like all the others, is a limited-run engagement. When we open our hearts and embrace this shared journey, intuition flows freely between us. When we close our hearts in fear and separation–our intuition shuts down–especially in intimate relationships. When we fall in love, our hearts are wide open. We're in the flow of divine intuition. Intuition comes from the heart and love opens this portal to allow deep connection between two people.
It's nearly impossible to maintain this blissful, openhearted state 365 days a year. However, in our daily meditations we can open the heart and feel our partner's pain, challenges, and gifts. This practice builds deep connection and compassion in our relationships. If you want awesome love, stop seeing the other person as different or separate from you. Stop putting him in a box. Instead, start FEELING your deep connection to him as an old friend on a shared journey of evolution.
~Sue Frederick

Everybody has a way to do this, here is mine.
The other day I made this and The Fiancé had taken a few bites before he asked why we were having potatoes when we were supposed to be on GAPS, ha ha.
1 head cauliflower, cleaned and cut into chunks
pan juices from roast chicken, see note
celtic salt
Steam the cauliflower until soft. Put it in a bowl and attack it with your stick blender. This could also be done in a food processor. When most of it is mushed up, drizzle with pan juices and sprinkle about a 1/2 tsp of celtic salt over it. Whip it some more. Taste and add more of the pan juices and salt if needed.
Note: We have started the dairy elimination part of GAPS so we aren't using butter. If we weren't doing this, my fat of choice would be butter... unless there were pan juices to be had as that makes it taste so very good. You could also use coconut oil. Once we have gone through the dairy elimination thing I will add cream as well.

Watch Steve Scalise's Emotional Take on Tax Reform Success!
It's been an intense year for Rep. Steve Scalise, the Congressman from Louisiana, who was shot and badly wounded during the summer, buy a crazed liberal gunman who was hellbent on killing Republicans.
After battling back from some serious injuries, including an infection, Scalise is back in action, and after the House passed the tax reform vote, which will soon be headed to the Senate, the brave Congressman had some words for the American people.
"This is a historic day for you," Scalise said to the whole country, "Because now, you finally have that shot at the American dream again."
Rep. Scalise, who supports President Trump's "America First" agenda, has overcome so much in the past year, and couldn't wait to get back to Capitol Hill to continue Making America Great Again– now, his hard work is paying off.
As President Trump's tax reform legislation continues to make progress, "America First" Republicans like Steve Scalise are making sure that, despite obstructionist Democrats' best efforts to cause trouble, the president's policies can be enacted.

New York Daily News: Fraud fears in elex flap
They are four respected professionals - a doctor, a prosecutor, a journalist and a consultant - who were each counted twice in the 2000 presidential election.
All four are registered to vote in both the city and Florida, a few of the 46,000 people whom the Daily News recently found signed up to vote in both states, according to a database match.
But three who talked to The News insisted they only voted here and were unaware their Florida registration remained intact. Circumstantial evidence supports the contention.
They suspect either a sloppy vote tally in Florida or, far worse, that someone committed a fraud in their names.
'Maybe it's just my ignorance, but itseems to me a crime has been committed in my name, possibly, and no one seems to care but me,' said Dr. Lester Bussey, after asking Florida authorities to investigate.
The 2000 election in Florida, which George Bush won by 537 votes, was one of the most controversial in the nation's history. The Sunshine State, in this year's election, is again poised to play a pivotal role.
Voting more than once is a federal offense punishable by up to a year in prison and a $10,000 fine. But it's a crime the voting system does nothing to prevent.
Since The News revealed the snowbird-voting scandal in August, the U.S. Justice Department has begun looking into the matter, and Florida and city officials have traded databases to duplicate The News' research.
Unlike earlier examples of apparent double voting uncovered by The News, these four never maintained homes in both places. They each moved from Florida to the city in recent years.
Holly Haeseler, an assistant district attorney in Queens, shows up as having voted on Nov. 7, 2000, in both Manhattan and in Clearwater, Fla., where she grew up.
Haeseler, 30, said she was certain that she had voted only in New York for that election.
"I wasn't aware that I was still registered there," she said. "I've been here for almost five years."
After talking to The News, she asked Florida authorities to investigate.

Ultimate guide to dating sluts 35 pdf sex dating in kooskia idaho
In Greek mythology Narcissus was a handsome, proud man who disdained those who loved him.
He fell in love with his own beautiful reflection in a pool, and because he couldn't stop looking at it, he starved to death.
on't you hate it when your girlfriend suddenly takes control and becomes the dominant one in the relationship? Don't worry, though, for your pals here have got you covered.
If you're desperately wanting to find out how to control and dominate women at this point, then this means that may already be facing some pretty problems with your woman.

He's handsome and self-confident and apparently successful.
If your girlfriend is already taking control and assuming dominance over you, . I've seen that happen so many times over my career as a life and dating coach here at the Baltimore Seduction Lair.)

As the hostess for this years Thanksgiving festivities, I crafted a spectacular menu: cider-braised turkey, new potatoes, sweet potatoes, a vegetable medley, cranberry-couscous stuffing, homemade apple pie and (store-bought) pumpkin pie.
First up was a recipe I found for cider-braised turkey, sage, and sweet potatoes. Although the original recipe called for chicken I substituted it with turkey tenderloin since I thought the seasonings would go well with either choice of meat. And, instead of baking the turkey with the sweet potatoes I put it in the slow cooker on low for seven hours. The turkey came out really moist and although the sweet potatoes were a little soggy for me, they were exactly how my Dad liked them. With the leftover juice stock we made some gravy which had a nice kick with the sage leaves put in. I haven't really used sage too much in the dishes I normally cook but I've become a big fan. Overall, the mixture has made for good leftovers and I'm loving the turkey sandwiches. It's definitely something I'll make again and which serves as a good meal for when I have friends/family over.
On the other hand, the cranberry-couscous stuffing was a disaster. I'm not quite sure how or why the recipe got rave reviews online. Even though the dish itself was easy to prepare, there wasn't much flavor outside of the extremely tart tasting cranberries. I imagine if you poured a ton of sugar on it, it would have helped but that defeated the purpose of the dish. I wanted something healthy. Oh well, I love the adventure of trying out new recipes in the kitchen and sometimes they don't always work out. Here's the culmination of all my hard work – it turned out really pretty!
While the majority of my sweet family is scattered across the states, I did get to share in the holiday festivities with my parents, brother Ryan and his family. There are a million and one things I'm thankful for, but I'm especially thankful for all the loving people in my life, near and far. I love you guys. Happy Thanksgiving!

Music plays in our home, car, and at the playgrounds we visit, through our computers, phones and television sets. With a soundtrack following us, and our kids involved with most of what we do, we could not possibly listen to 'their' music all the time. We need to get a fix of music we like, and quite honestly, what they have come to enjoy, although they are kids, and absolutely prefer jumping around to The Wiggles, over running in circles to Tool, although I have video footage to prove a trance like state they put A. into one afternoon – she seemed happy.
While listening to 'our music', there have been more than a few occasions that I have asked myself 'Should I be listening to this with them?' and for whatever reason, perhaps selfish, I kept my music on, even though I questioned the contents appropriateness for a four and two-year old. Now, let me be clear, I am not talking about listening to Rage Against the Machine scream the 'fuck' word twenty times in a rhythmic row, nor are we driving around to half the stuff on the radio that "sings" about being sexy and 'dropping it like it's hot' (Did I just date myself?). No, I'm talking about Modest Mouse uttering a frustrated fuck, Lou Reed talking about a transvestite, or MIA wanting to *sound of cash register and three gun shots* 'and take your money'. Am I justifying it? Because I 'like' it, it is somehow "better" than other questionable material out there?
Fortunately, we have yet to have our kids swear, or repeat anything that we may deem inappropriate for a child to say, as a result of listening to our music, which, with how insanely curious children are, blows my mind. No, they are not angels, they talk about 'poopy butts' and other words having to do with either going to the bathroom or being naked, but they haven't said "Dad, why does the 'morning look like shit'?" after we listen to the Bright Eyes. Have I tricked myself into believing that because our kids aren't repeating the words, that they are simply not hearing them? Or by not drawing attention to it, by not gasping and cringing, do I let them understand the world at their level. Like their exposure to a drunk Uncle at our family gatherings who utters nonsensical foul comments – adults ignore him and the kids think he's funny, they have no idea what he's saying, and they dismiss it as an anomaly that makes them giggle. I am sure they all walk away shaking their heads and mutter under their collective breath "What an anomaly." I think they listen to the sounds, and clue in on what they know or identify with, much like watching a movie. A. bops along to Kate Nash saying 'you never listen to me' and is convinced, and after much discussion I left it alone, that she is saying 'you know how to listen to me'. We let her labor under that illusion.
My Mom listened to Lionel Richie and I never 'danced on the ceiling', my Dad played Maxwell's Silver Hammer and I never, well, hit anybody with a hammer, and I listened to the Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams (are made of these)' at the age of 6 and had no idea what I was reciting into the candlestick holder.
What does my Papa Sense tell me?
Be prepared to answer any questions that may come your way as a result of your words or actions. Language is important – do not shy away from teaching kids that there are words that we use in some settings and not others, and some that we don't use at all. Everything in time – kids have a way of asking the questions when they are ready for some type of answer, age appropriate. And lastly, because it is a small fraction of the music that we listen to that may raise an eye brow, don't draw attention to words that you don't want to hear again, don't make them taboo, we must arm our children with the realities of life, not clothe them in make-believe cocoons that will shatter when they are at school, on the playground, or anywhere that we are not.
What do you listen to when your kids are around? When have you cringed? Or, do you only listen to music that is kid friendly while around your kids? What is kid friendly?

Loss of one species in an ecosystem can trigger extinctions of other dependent species. For instance, specialist predators will go extinct following the loss of their only prey unless they can change their diet. It has therefore been suggested that an ability of consumers to rewire to novel prey should mitigate the consequences of species loss by reducing the risk of cascading extinction. Using a new modelling approach on natural and computer-generated food webs we find that, on the contrary, rewiring often aggravates the effects of species loss.(...)

Valentine's Day is a sentimental anniversary for me & my sweetie. Our very first date was February 14, 1974. I was 17, he was 18 and he picked me up in his VW bug and took me to a very nice Asian Restaurant called "The Oriental" in Charlotte, NC.
Every Valentine's Day since we have Chinese Food. Some years we had take out, sometimes I made fried rice but we always try to maintain our little tradition.
Tonight we went out to "The Orient" here in Oakville. It was super busy and I didn't bring my camera but I took a pic with my phone. No it's not the 2 of us, that would have been clever but I didn't think of it. I did however take a picture of my food.
Hope your Valentine's Day was special . . .
