Lawyer Jokes Are Funny. Legal Problems? Not So Much.
A few days ago, Simeon Howard posted an article that had some great suggestions about minimizing problems when using freelance contractors. Simeon provided some good insights and as I read his article, it made me think of some related issues that a successful startup should consider.
As a technology lawyer, I get a lot of calls from companies that are developing and launching new products and services. In fact, most of my clients are small startups and emerging technology companies, some of them literally working out of a garage. Usually, these companies are looking for some help with a legal question and I can typically give them some helpful answers. However, sometimes they have made some pretty serious mistakes that make it difficult, if not impossible, for me to help them.
To avoid some of the more serious legal issues that I see on a fairly regular basis, here are some things you should consider. These issues don't always come up, but you should be on the lookout for them so you can avoid them if at all possible.
1. Lawyers and Contracts Are Important. Really. Many individuals and small companies think that because they're "small" they don't need and/or can't afford to use things like lawyers and contracts. Wrong. Contracts can save you a lot of time and trouble, if handled correctly. A solid contract has saved many of my clients when disputes and arguments come up. On the other hand, if you mess this up, it can mean the demise of your company.
Don't let the word "contract" scare you. A contract doesn't have to be 50 pages long to get the job done. Sometimes, all you need is a short, simple agreement that spells out the obligations and responsibilities of the people signing the contract. However, don't make the mistake of thinking you can just go out on the Internet and "grab" a contract that will do the job. There are some very good contracts out there and some really bad ones as well.
Unless you speak fluent "legalese" you'll want to make sure the contract fits your specific needs. You may think you need a non-disclosure agreement when, in fact, you need an assignment of rights agreement. If you have any doubts, spend a little money and check it out with an attorney before you sign a contract. Don't be the guy who calls me up after you've signed a contract to find out what it means because I may not be able to help you.
If you look around, you should be able to find a lawyer who works with startups and small companies. Try to find one that knows your industry and market. Get references and talk with people that you trust. They can tell you what attorneys they use. Interview the attorney and find out if they have experience working with small companies. Ask them what they know about your industry and your competitors.
Attorneys at large law firms in plush offices usually charge more than sole practitioners so shop around. While you don't necessarily want the cheapest attorney in town, you can get high quality legal help without breaking the bank. Ask them about their billing rates and policies. Get it in writing. Many attorneys will quote a "flat fee" for a project if they understand the scope. This can be a good way to control your costs while avoiding unexpected legal expenses.
2. Don't Slosh Your Equity Around. It's Messy. I've worked with many small startups that are using the ownership interest in their company like some kind of piggy bank. They fund every project and development effort using stock, stock options, or LLC membership interests. They use equity interests in their company to pay contractors and other third parties for services. This is often a big mistake and here's why.
The biggest potential problem is that if you do it wrong, you may be in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") securities laws. You probably don't even know what a "security" is and you may not think it matters. It does. There are some pretty serious consequences for issuing stock or membership interests in violation of the SEC rules. You may think it's a "loan" or a "license" when in fact you are issuing securities. If you get this wrong, you may have to give any investment money back and, in some cases, you may be hit with a fine. In addition to the SEC rules for issuing stock, most states have "blue sky" laws that govern how you can issue stock and securities so you need to be aware of those potential issues as well.
Lesser problems include losing control of your company or creating such a convoluted mess that serious investors or potential partners will walk away from your equity structure to find simpler deals. If a potential investor looks into your company's capitalization table and sees that there are 30-40 shareholders who all own .5% – 5%, they may view that as a seriously negative situation and move on to the next opportunity.
Another problem is the early grant of equity can create problems when someone is no longer associated with your company or development effort. Do you really want some disgruntled web developer running around out there with a 3% ownership interest in your company? Probably not.
Finally, depending on the nature of the transaction, it's possible that whoever receives the stock or LLC equity interest may owe taxes on the value of what they've received. This could come as a very unpleasant surprise for everybody involved in the transaction.
3. Intellectual Property Protection. Don't Screw It Up. If you are starting up a new company or launching a new product, you are almost certainly creating intellectual property. The problem for many new businesses and companies is that they don't know anything about intellectual property and may not even know what qualifies as intellectual property. Do you have a patentable product? Can you or should you register your name/logo/slogan? What trade secrets have you developed? How do you keep someone from stealing your intellectual property?
While you may have a basic understanding of patents, trademarks, and copyrights, you probably don't know how easy it is to compromise or destroy your intellectual property rights.
For example, did you know that you could lose your patent rights if you offer to sell your invention to someone more than one year prior to filing your patent application?
Did you know that your web designer may own your website content if you don't have the right kind of contract in place?
Did you know that your freelance software developer owns your software unless you have the right kind of contract in place?
Is your non-disclosure agreement protective enough?
If you know all about these issues, you're definitely smarter than the average entrepreneur, so congratulations to you. If you don't know about these issues, you're pretty much like most other people out there trying to figure things out as you go along. Don't be that guy (or gal). Get some help from a qualified professional before it's too late. Figure out what your sustaining proprietary advantage is, protect it every way you can, and then use it to build some serious value.
Important Safety Tip – Protect Your Stuff.
4. Bottom Line. Legal issues can be complex and somewhat intimidating. Just remember. You don't have to be an attorney, but don't be afraid to talk to one. Your future company valuation is hoping that you do.

Great article. I did not know that freelancers may own the work that they've created for a project. I always assumed that it's a clear "work for hire" arrangement in which the money is exchanged for the final product and the rights to it. This is very important to have a clear grasp of for many of us who use freelancers often.
Some super tips Mark! I am glad I could answer all your questions you posed. I agree contracts are uber important for any company and always amazed when some many SMBs and start-ups do not have them.


The Democrat spoke at the Know Your Value conference about confidence, whether she will run for president in 2020, George H.W. Bush's legacy and more.
As one of the most outspoken members of the Senate, who has built a reputation for her fierce and uncompromising attitude during congressional hearings, there's no doubt Sen. Kamala Harris doesn't lack confidence. And she attributes much of that confidence to her mother, an immigrant from India who came to the U.S. with dreams of becoming a scientist.
When the Democratic legislator was a young girl growing up in Oakland, Calif., she and her sister often spent afternoons and weekends at her mother's endocrinology lab.
Harris said her mother's example and deep belief that she and her sister could be anything they wanted to be fueled her rise to become the first elected female district attorney of San Francisco and the first Indian-American senator.
Harris, whose father is Jamaican, also spoke about how she faced discrimination as a child — something that has influenced her fight against intolerance and injustice in Washington D.C.
Harris acknowledged that her reputation as being outspoken and persistent on Capitol Hill has resulted in her critics branding her as "hysterical." But Harris told Brzezinski those reactions come from people who mistakenly believe ambitious women are flawed.
At several points in the conversation, Brzezinski probed Harris about one of the biggest questions around her political ambitions: Whether she will run for president in 2020.
Harris confirmed she is still considering her options, though is close to deciding whether or not she will actually throw her hat into the ring.
Harris said she is keenly aware of the challenges a barrier-breaking campaign will entail.
As she contemplates a presidential bid, Harris has been working on a bipartisan effort to ensure elections are fair and free from interference by foreign governments and others who might threaten the U.S. democratic process. The Secure Elections Act, which she introduced in March along with co-sponsor Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, would give the Department of Homeland Security responsibility for ensuring secure elections and shoring up election infrastructure against cyberattacks. It would also establish an independent advisory panel of experts to develop guidelines on election cybersecurity.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has not yet brought the bipartisan legislation to the floor for a vote. Harris said she has been told that is at the White House's request.
Though Harris expressed frustration about the slow progress of that bill, she also said she has hope in the strength of the four legs of democracy, which she noted include the three branches of government and a free and independent press.
Harris also weighed in on the legacy of former President George H.W. Bush, who died Friday at 94 and said there are several lessons Washington could learn from him.

We Asked Experts About the Dangers of Distracted Driving
What is the definition of distracted driving and how can we avoid it?
Smart phones and tablets give today's consumers powerful new options for entertainment, education, and communication. However, these products are worsening the already existing problem of distracted driving.
Far too many are engaged in their mobile devices when their attention should be on the road.
This problem is especially common among teens and young adults. Responding to this challenge will require a variety of responses, including new automotive technology. Tracking sensors and digital windshield displays can help by encouraging motorists to focus on the road ahead. But tackling the distracted driving issue will also require high-profile public awareness campaigns and heightened law enforcement campaigns. Auto manufacturers, public officials, and media outlets must coordinate their efforts to have strongest possible impact.
We had the chance to speak with two of those public officials familiar with the dangers of distracted driving: Future in Focus CEO Michael Vidikan and Levinson Law Firm Partner Gordon R. Levinson, Esq.
Here is what the experts had to say:
What is your opinion on the effectiveness of large, national efforts to reduce driving fatalities from preventable causes, like those spearheaded by M.A.D.D., in regards to the influence and impact they have both on the general public and on the nation's decision makers?
In my opinion, large national efforts to reduce driving fatalities have not been effective. While many such efforts have shown signs of promise, drunk driving statistics are actually on the rise.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving ("MADD") was formed in 1980, and is the preeminent example of a national group working against driving fatalities. MADD is a national non-profit organization more specifically dedicated against the crime of drunk driving, and is heavily involved in advocacy through public relations.
Additionally, MADD has been instrumental in influencing lawmakers. For example, MADD was seen as the driving force behind 1984 federal legislation entitled the National Minimum Drinking Age Act that imposed federal penalties on states that did not raise the minimum legal drinking age to 21. Additionally, MADD is also widely credited as being one of the main lobbying groups when it came to reducing the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) maximum from .10 to .08. MADD-backed efforts to lobby for the change resulted in Congressional legislation in 2000, and by 2005, every state in the nation had lowered the maximum BAC to .08.
And yet, despite these apparent legislative victories, drunk driving statistics continue to rise. For example, drunk driving fatalities in the state of California alone have increased to 867 in the past year which represents a 4.6% increase over last year.
I believe that groups such as MADD have good intentions, but I believe the task of reducing drunk-driving fatalities is onerous. I also believe their work is not done. So while MADD's efforts have resulted in positive legislative change, it is too early to judge their effectiveness as the war against drunk driving presents set-backs, it is far from won.
How much involvement should the government have in regulating distracted and drunk driving on a county, state, and/or national level? At which point would their involvement seem to infringe on people's rights? How much responsibility should they impose on drivers vs manufactures (of cars and smart phones)? Can stricter laws and harsher penalties really make the roads safer?
According to a U.S. Department of Transportation study, 3,154 people died on our roadways in 2013 due to distracted driving. The numbers are probably a lot higher due to unreliability in reporting. According to other studies, 77% of young adults and teens believe they can drive safely while texting, 55% of young drivers think it is easy to drive while texting, 48% of people between the ages of 12 and 17 have been passengers in a car driven by a texting driver, and 1 in 5 adult drivers have admittedly browsed the Internet while driving.
While efforts to curb drunk driving have been only marginally effective, distracted driving is a far newer problem, and we have yet to see broad governmental responses. Drunk and distracted driving are crimes. And under the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, police officers may not perform searches or seizures upon citizens absent probable cause to suspect criminal activity.
An officer may pull over a suspected drunk driver given probable cause to do so, for example, upon seeing the driver swerving or otherwise driving erratically. If an officer witnesses a driver texting while driving, that too would likely constitute probable cause to pull the driver over.
Erratic driving would also likely provide adequate probable cause to suspect texting. But what about erecting mechanical devices that could detect cellular phone use in all cars that pass through an electronic field? Such a dragnet approach by the government would probably violate the 4th Amendment as being an unreasonable search — and therefore not provide constitutional probable cause — as such an approach would subject all citizens to detection even absent objective signals of distracted driving, such as swerving or other signs of poor driving. In other words, such an approach would be overly broad and intrusive.
The states have gradually increased penalties for drunk driving, with marginal success in curbing that behavior. Perhaps the time has come to enact tougher laws prohibiting distracted driving, which in my opinion should include prohibitions from cell phone use by repeat offenders.
How much responsibility should car manufactures and smart phone manufacturers (willingly) accept in relation to minimizing distracted driving accidents through the use of technological implementations? Obviously, they have no control over the devices a driver uses or when they choose to use them but, as with the possible implementation of blood alcohol detectors in vehicles preventing someone from driving if they are inebriated, should these manufactures be working toward (better) technology to prevent distracted driving?
To date, we have not seen technological efforts to prevent cell-phone usage by drivers. Assuming it were technologically possible to do so, one problem might be distinguishing between the cell phone of the driver, and those of the passengers.
Another approach may be to monitor eye movement of a vehicle's driver though infra red or motion sensing technology. That approach would seem to avoid the issue of passenger cell-phone use, and focus only on the driver's gaze. I would favor such an approach by auto manufacturers because it would also react to driver inattention and drowsiness — two other harmful behaviors.
What car technologies currently exist (whether in production or testing/beta) that are geared toward reducing drunk, distracted, or drowsy driving and the accidents caused by them?
Currently, technology exists to prevent drunk driving by installing breathalyzers that disable vehicles upon BAC readings above a threshold level. Additionally, technology exists that prompts a driver to focus when repeat swerving is detected. But I believe what is needed to detect texting while driving would be technology able to determine the driver's gaze. Anything but looking forward, left, right, or behind, would result in a polite prompt from the car to encourage the driver to keep their eyes on the road!
Gordon R. Levinson, Esq., Levinson Law Group
Distracted driving awareness has seen plenty support from local people and organizations promoting its dangers to national campaigns like AT&Ts ItCanWait and Nissan's RedThumb. What is your opinion on the effectiveness of these efforts? Is it another similar issue to draw attention to with national messaging and proper enforcement as has been the case with M.A.D.Ds success with drunk driving?
Educating drivers about the dangers of distracted driving is critical. In 2013, there were actually more driving fatalities as a result of cell phone use than drunk driving. That's a disturbing trend. Since teen drivers are most likely to be involved in distracted driving accidents, education efforts really need to be geared to that age group.
How much involvement should the government have in regulating distracted driving on a county, state, and/or national level? At which point would their involvement seem to infringe on people's rights?
Government has an important role to play around education and awareness, but as long as human driving remains legal, it's going to be quite difficult to mandate good driving. Government can and should support research efforts to combat distracted driving, including perhaps the development of new technologies – from driving simulators to eye tracking sensors. I don't think this is likely, but if society wanted to take safe driving to the extreme, human driving could be outlawed in favor of self-driving cars.
How much responsibility should car manufactures bear or take on in relation to distracted driving? Obviously they have no control over the devices a driver uses or when they choose to use them but, as with the possible implementation of blood alcohol detectors in vehicles preventing someone from driving if they are inebriated, should car manufactures be working toward technology to prevent distracted driving?
Car manufacturers are working on technologies to prevent distracted driving and accident prevention. Since many consumers choose vehicles based on their safety ratings, the free market provides an incentive to manufacturers to invest in these technologies. Cell phones aren't the only distraction in vehicles. Changing radio stations and GPS routing can be just as distracting. BMW recently introduced a new technology concept that lets drivers use hand motions to answer calls and change the volume. Another concept being worked on is the "smart windshield" that uses augmented reality to help keep drivers' eyes on the road. It could display vehicle speed and the posted speed, GPS directions, fuel alerts, important messages, and even highlight dangerous objects on the road. Of course, manufacturers would need to find the right balance so as not to overload the driver with too many heads up distractions.
Michael Vidikan, CEO, Future in Focus
No amount of intervention can eliminate all the dangers of distracted driving.
Human beings will always be vulnerable to the effects fatigue, stress, and substance abuse. Nonetheless, it is possible to minimize the effects of drunk and distracted driving by using safeguards like those discussed above.
Government and industry initiatives might never fully address the problem, however.
Drivers must do their part by exercising personal responsibility and practicing etiquette when operating a motor vehicle. A concerted effort from both public and private entities is essential to saving lives, protecting property, and ensuring the public roadways remain safe for all who use them.
Curious how you can do your part to mitigate the distracted driving epidemic?
Start by committing to – not only yourself – but your loved ones and take the pledge to avoid distracted driving.

Q: For some reason I got Code Analysis errors that are supressed For exmaple I got error:
CA1056  URI properties should not be strings    Change the type of property 'CoreCallbackServiceConfiguration.UriTemplate' from string to System.Uri.

for propery
    [SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Design", "CA1056:UriPropertiesShouldNotBeStrings", Justification = "The template should be string")]
    [DataMember(Name = "uriTemplate")]
    public string UriTemplate { get; set; }

you see that there is supress atribute but I still got error. Other people in my team doesn't get this errors. Any ideas?

A: The following works for me:
[SuppressMessage("Design", "CA1056:Uri properties should not be strings", Justification = "This is a DB table field")]

Keep in mind I'm using this in .NET Core 3. I'm not sure if the analyzers are the same for other versions of .NET.

Tennessee Dad Wins Change of Custody of Swimming Star
In Custody Modification
Tennessee child custody case summary on custody modification in family law.
Terrence Moore Robinson, Jr., v. Susan Kathleen Robinson – Tennessee child custody modification
The mother and father in this Tennessee divorce case were divorced in 2001 and had one son, who was born in 1998. Under the most recent parenting plan, the son resided with the mother in Fairview during the school year, and with the father for eight weeks during the summer. The mother was named the primary residential parent.
In 2013, the father filed a petition to be named primary residential parent. As changed circumstances, he cited the fact that the son had become a nationally ranked swimmer, and wanted to attend Memphis University School and swim for the team. The son's current high school did not have a swim team, and the father argued that this limited the son's ability to form friendships. The son also indicated his desire to reside with the father and change schools.
The trial court held that this constituted a change in circumstances and that the modification was in the son's best interests. Therefore, the father was named primary residential parent. The mother then appealed to the Tennessee Court of Appeals.
The appeals court first noted that a change can be made only if there is a change of circumstances that was not reasonably foreseeable when the original decision was made. It noted that there is no bright line, and the court must consider many factors. In this case, the appeals court agreed with the lower court that neither party anticipated how much the son would excel at swimming, and how important this sport would be in his social development. It therefore agreed that there had been a change in circumstances.
The court then considered the child's best interests. The mother argued that the trial court had not given sufficient weight to continuity. But the appeals court examined the evidence and concluded that this factor had been given sufficient weight.
The mother also argued that the trial court had given too much weight to the child's stated desire to reside with the father. But the appeals court agreed with the trial court that the son had made this decision for good reasons, and that the trial court had accorded the proper weight to this factor.
For these reasons, the appeals court affirmed the lower court's ruling.
No. M2014-00431-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. Mar. 16, 2015).

Sha Na Na — американський гурт. Утворений 1968 року студентами колумбійського університету: Скоттом Пауеллом (Scott Powell) — вокал; Джонні Контардо (Johnny Contardo) — вокал: Фредеріком Гріном (Frederick Greene)
— вокал; Доном Йорком (Don York) — вокал; Річардом Джоффом (Richard Joffe) — вокал; Крісом Доналдом (Chris Donald) — гітара; Елліотом Кеном (Elliot Cann) — гітара; Хенрі Гроссом (Henry Gross) — гітара; Скоттом Саймоном (Scott Symon) — фортепіано; Джоном Бауманом (John Bauman) — фортепіано; Брюсом Кларком (Bruce Clarke) — бас; Джоко Марселліно (Jocko Marcellino) — ударні та Ленні Бейкером (Lennie Baker) — саксофон.

З'явившись на музичній сцені наприкінці 1960-х років, цей гурт одним з перших зробив поворот до класичного рок-н-ролу, запропонувавши ностальгійний репертуар 1950-х років з часткою іронії та гумору. Стилізований під минулу епоху взяли собі учасники гурту й сценічний імідж, одягнувшись у блискучі смокінги та штани-дудочки, зробили набріолінені зачіски. Єдиним професійним музикантом у цьому складі був Ленні Бейкер, який наприкінці 1950-х років виступав разом з Danny & The Juniors.
Міжнародну популярність Sha Na Na приніс дещо випадковий виступ 1969 року на славетному фестивалі «Woodstock», який зафіксували однойменний фільм та альбом. Менше пощастило студійним записам групи, які виявились позбавленими неповторної атмосфери живих виступів та спонтанності рок-н-рольної розваги. Лише твір «Bounce In Your Buggy», що походив з альбому «The Night is Still Young» виявився значною студійною вдачею групи (не враховуючи сольного синглу Гросса 1976 року «Shannon»).

Однак естрадні видовища групи оцінило багато зірок року. Наприклад, під час музичного пікніка, який Sha Na Na влаштували 1971 року, роль конферансьє виконував Кейт Мун, а наступного року Джон Леннон запросив групу відкрити благодійний концерт «One — For — One», проте спонтанні сольні концерти Sha Na Na з часом переросли у банальні виступи, а студентська дружба поступилась місцем сваркам та стресам. 1973 року склад групи скоротився до десяти учасників, а повним занепадом кар'єри Sha Na Na виявилась смерть 1974 року Кріса Доналда внаслідок вживання наркотиків.

Незважаючи на невдале завершення своєї кар'єри, Sha Na Na довели всім, що класичний рок-н-рол не старіє, побічно відкривши шлях таким виконавцям, як Shakin' Stevens та групам Darts і The Stray Cats.

10 Failed Apocalyptic Predictions We Can Look Back On
For some reason people seem to believe the world is going to come to an end at any moment of any given day. These people claim they have read ancient manuscripts, spoken to a god, or perhaps even to an ancient race of aliens who have declared the world should prepare for the apocalypse. We heard of Y2K and the Halley's Comet back in 1910, both of which were said to destroy the planet and everyone living on it. Here are ten failed apocalyptic predictions we laugh at today.
Montanus was known for being a heretic amongst the Christian church, and he predicted the end of the world on multiple occasions. He said Turkey would soon become the holy land, and the judgement would spare those living there.
Charles Wesley, a founder for the Methodist church, believed the world was going to come to an end in 1794. Despite being completely wrong, his brother also made a wild accusation, saying the Great Beast would come around in 1836.


At his Last Supper with his disciples, Jesus washed his disciples' feet. Footwashing was viewed as a humiliating, degrading task, done by the lowest ranking servant. And so his action was completely unexpected, even perplexing to his disciples.

Q: How do I force a file action in Powershell? I'm working on a project where I need to convert a few thousand documents from HTML to Word. I'm working with this function:
function saveas-document ($docs) {
        $opendoc = $word.documents.open($docs);
        $savepath = $docs -replace [regex]::escape($htmPath),"$docpath"
        $opendoc.saveas([ref]"$savepath", [ref]$saveFormat);
        $opendoc.close();
}

Recently, while testing, my job stalled because one of the documents is locked by "another user". I get a dialog box asking me if I want a read ony copy, if I want to edit and merge changes later, or wait for notification that the document is available again. Also, in either case where I choose to open the file, that seems to override my $word.Visible-$False parameter.
I've been unsuccessful in identifying this "another user" that's locked my document. All the documents are on a local, non-shared drive, so I'm not sure what's got them locked. Based on where the files live, I'm confident that nothing needs to be edited, and I could just force the file open, then Save As...
Can I use -force as a parameter in this function? Where is the best place to place that parameter?
EDIT: Per JPBlanc below, I tried stopping Word and got three errors per record.
Method invocation failed because [Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.DocumentClass] doesn't contain a method named 'quit'.
At C:\users\x46332\desktop\sad003.ps1:69 char:18

A: try adding the readonly variant to the method, it is the second variant, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb216319(v=office.12).aspx.
ie:
$opendoc = $word.documents.open($docs,$false,$true);

A: I just think tha your are the "another user", this just because $opendoc.close(); is not enough to free the access to the file.
Can you try to add :
# Stop Winword Process
$opendoc.quit()
$rc = [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($opendoc)

Assuming you are opening your word document with :
$opendoc = new-object -com "word.application"


But and if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed are ye: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled; but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear (1 Peter 3:14-15).
We live in a world of religious confusion. There are all kinds of religions which teach and practice all kinds of things, and plenty of people who profess to have no religion whatsoever.
Furthermore, confusion reigns among all the various groups who profess Christianity. All kinds of denominations exist today, all of them teaching different doctrines and practices, and all claiming to present God's truth.
In this climate of confusion, many ask difficult questions. What is the truth? Can it even be known? How tragic it is that so many despair of ever knowing the truth of God!
I believe that the truth can be known, and the truth is present completely and infallibly in the revealed Word of God, the Bible. I will attempt in the study that follows to present what God has revealed to be the truth.
Before we begin this journey, however, I would like to present some explanations of this study and some general thoughts.
Any attempt to synthesize and explain the various beliefs of hundreds of groups presents many logistical challenges. The study has been divided into four parts. Part I involves discussions of denominations. Part II speaks of the various movements that have developed within Christianity, especially in the past two centuries, since many movements now transcend denominational boundaries. Part III represents certain practices and doctrines that come up consistently. Part IV involves early movements in Christianity, and demonstrates how history tends to repeat itself.
In each entry in parts I and II, there is a section entitled "general considerations" referring you to the associated movements, doctrines, and practices of the denomination that are covered in other parts. The "general considerations" section also will cover doctrines and practices of a denomination covered in the section of another denomination.
Some denominations have their own sections; many other times, however, different denominations who share the same heritage, beliefs, and practices on the whole are addressed together.
This study presents basic information on denominational beliefs and practices, basic responses to these beliefs and practices, and basic defenses for the teachings of the Scriptures. This study does not present an exhaustive history and background of the denominations, nor does it set out to present everything that every denomination believes and teaches. You will notice that matters of marriage, divorce, and remarriage are not even addressed in this book; that is a study in and of itself, and that just among churches of Christ, let alone among other groups. Other issues are left unaddressed.
This website is intended to be a handy reference and general guide for Christians as they strive to talk to people in their lives about matters of faith. It would take a large series of books to fully treat every denomination with its beliefs and practices and to present a full refutation. I freely encourage you to seek out other resources, written both by myself and others, to provide further and more in-depth guidance in speaking with members of denominations.
This study is "a" study of denominations, not "the" study of denominations. In the end, this study is my study into denominations and their beliefs and practices, and represents my views. I have attempted to make sure that what I present in here concords to the message of the Scriptures, but that does not mean that you should take my word for it. I encourage you to also seek out these things in the Scriptures and see what is so (cf. Acts 17:10-11). I do not, nor ever would, presume to speak for churches of Christ in general, or even for the local church of which I am a part. I speak only as myself based on my research and experiences in defending the faith and promoting the truth.
This study presents what denominations say they believe in their official literature. Just as members of churches of Christ dispute over various contentious matters, so also many matters are under dispute in various denominations. Furthermore, just as many members of churches of Christ do not really know what they believe or do not practice what they believe (to their shame), even more members of denominations do not really know what they believe or do not practice what they believe. I have done the best that I can through my research to present accurately what the denominations teach; do not assume, however, that just because a person you know is, say, a Lutheran, that they even know what the Lutheran church teaches on a given subject. Knowing the material present in this book will help you be able to communicate with members of denominations, but it is not wise to presume that since a person goes to a particular denominational church that they believe everything that denomination teaches.
This study is designed to demonstrate how teachings of denominations diverge from the Scriptures; it is not my place to judge.
So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God (Romans 14:11-12).
We are called upon to test the spirits (1 John 4:1), and not to accept that which is false (Revelation 2:2). God, however, is the Judge of mankind, and only He has the prerogative to redeem or to condemn. We can encourage members of denominations to consider our defense and exhort them to consider the Scriptures, but in the end God will judge them as He will judge us. Will members of denominations be going to Hell for what they have believed and taught? That is God's decision, not mine or yours or anyone else's.
The study is designed to encourage and instruct Christians. It will benefit you little if it is not used. Furthermore, it may assist you in your understanding, but if you do not take the knowledge gained and use it profitably to help instruct those around you, then the study is not reaching its full potential.
A Study of Denominations is written by Ethan Longhenry, who currently serves as the evangelist for the Venice church of Christ in Los Angeles, California.
He has also written Churches of the New Testament, and was a contributor to Beneath the Cross: Essays and Reflections on the Lord's Supper and People of the Past With Lessons for Today.
He maintains the devotional Spiritual Manna and is the editor of Renewed in Spirit. He has also written for other publications including Biblical Insights, Expository Files, and Truth Magazine.

> This material was originally posted [here](http://www.quora.com/What-is-Amazons-approach-to-product-development-and-product-management). It is reproduced here for posterities sake.

There is an approach called "working backwards" that is widely used at Amazon. They work backwards from the customer, rather than starting with an idea for a product and trying to bolt customers onto it. While working backwards can be applied to any specific product decision, using this approach is especially important when developing new products or features.

For new initiatives a product manager typically starts by writing an internal press release announcing the finished product. The target audience for the press release is the new/updated product's customers, which can be retail customers or internal users of a tool or technology. Internal press releases are centered around the customer problem, how current solutions (internal or external) fail, and how the new product will blow away existing solutions.

If the benefits listed don't sound very interesting or exciting to customers, then perhaps they're not (and shouldn't be built). Instead, the product manager should keep iterating on the press release until they've come up with benefits that actually sound like benefits. Iterating on a press release is a lot less expensive than iterating on the product itself (and quicker!).

If the press release is more than a page and a half, it is probably too long. Keep it simple. 3-4 sentences for most paragraphs. Cut out the fat. Don't make it into a spec. You can accompany the press release with a FAQ that answers all of the other business or execution questions so the press release can stay focused on what the customer gets. My rule of thumb is that if the press release is hard to write, then the product is probably going to suck. Keep working at it until the outline for each paragraph flows.

Oh, and I also like to write press-releases in what I call "Oprah-speak" for mainstream consumer products. Imagine you're sitting on Oprah's couch and have just explained the product to her, and then you listen as she explains it to her audience. That's "Oprah-speak", not "Geek-speak".

Once the project moves into development, the press release can be used as a touchstone; a guiding light. The product team can ask themselves, "Are we building what is in the press release?" If they find they're spending time building things that aren't in the press release (overbuilding), they need to ask themselves why. This keeps product development focused on achieving the customer benefits and not building extraneous stuff that takes longer to build, takes resources to maintain, and doesn't provide real customer benefit (at least not enough to warrant inclusion in the press release).

Why not qualifying for the Champions League might actually benefit Arsenal
by Thomas Hallett share
10/4/2014 | 06:39pm
Arsenal can't win the Champions League. The be all and end all of qualifying for European football means nothing to those who value sporting achievement over financial gain. Arsenal are very much in Uefa's top competition to feel the windfall of its revenue, not to challenge the best on the continent.
It's a harsh reality that doesn't require much digging to support its claim. Arsenal do have the resources to match the best in Europe. That's why the club fought initially to move into the Emirates Stadium and then feed of its success, first through gate receipts and then to maximise on commercial sponsors, which we're finally starting to see.
Arsenal far outstrip Atletico Madrid's capabilities in building a squad. Borussia Dortmund's wage bill of last season was smaller than QPR's, and yet they finished as the runner-up to Bayern Munich, annihilating Real Madrid in the semi-final in Germany.
It's the mentality that Atletico and Dortmund have that Arsenal can't come close to. Atletico wiped the floor with AC Milan, beat Zenit and Porto in the group stages, and have now beaten Barcelona to advance to the semi-final. Arsenal don't have that kind of mental capacity. They don't have the organisation to hold a lead and withstand an attack that features Lionel Messi and Neymar. There is no motivation to turn over one of the biggest clubs in Europe at home.
For sporting reasons, Arsenal's participation in the Champions League is built on the modern thinking that the competition adds prestige to a club's name, as well as the fear that missing out for one season will result in years without top European football.
Like the struggles faced by David Moyes at Manchester United as an excuse not to change the manager at Arsenal, Liverpool's fall out of Europe and Tottenham's inability to build on that solitary season in the Champions League are the only two references used to tell of the importance of qualifying each and every year.
Arsenal don't have the capacity to challenge on four fronts. They barely have the strength to do so on two. Injuries play a part, but the destruction of the squad on a year-on-year basis is the club's own doing. Freak injury plagues occur, seen this season at Borussia Dortmund, who went the majority of the season without three of their first-choice back four. But what is happening at Arsenal can't be dismissed or explained away as misfortune.
A year out of the Champions League for Arsenal will provide perspective. It will provide perspective to supporters who fear the unknown, just like with a change of manager. It will also provide perspective to the board and management, who seem to think that making do every season with a half complete squad will be enough; that a manager who has done it before, seemingly against the impossible, will continue to do it no matter what is going on around him at other clubs.
Investment is needed, and not just in new players. Atletico Madrid of this season and Dortmund of the past two or three years should be the models Arsenal follow. Neither of those two teams have invested or are capable of investing in the way their domestic title rivals are. For Arsenal, it's now a matter of choice not to invest in the way Manchester City or Chelsea do.
Instead, those teams are buying into a strong idea, a footballing identity that is far more solid than what their cash reserves should allow. Diego Simeone's players will break down walls for him; the same is true of Jurgen Klopp's team, at least those who are have become accustomed to his coaching style.
They're drilled to play in a way that speaks of their manager's mindset and ideals. Atletico Madrid don't play the prettiest football; Dortmund do and have done so. But vitally neither team can be accused of fragility. Their strengths come from in house, in terms of fitness – of which there are mountains of evidence – and the excellent and effective development of youth. At Arsenal, problems with the former has had a knock-on effect with the latter.
Like Atletico and Dortmund, the way Arsenal play and the attitudes of the players speaks of the mentality of the manager and club overall: a perceived lack of interest in bettering what's currently available. Stagnation is rife at Arsenal, and only something as big as a drop out of Europe can change the attitude of the club.
Arsenal may yet fall out of the top four this season, meaning a season in the Europa League is on the cards. But even that might be a distraction – and not because it should be seen as a pointless trophy.
This is not a club capable of handling four competitions with the way it is currently run. There may be comparisons to Liverpool's season and that they've had the fortune of not being distracted by midweek travels around Europe, but they also have a manager who is able to adjust to what he has and bring the best out of his squad.
Arsenal may have to be forced into taking action through failure to qualify for Europe. It shouldn't be the only option for a club of its resources, but dropping out of the Champions League can do a lot more good than bad.

The monolith of brick and limestone towers over the grounds below, awe-inspiring and formidable. At just shy of the century mark, the old beauty queen, fresh off of an unprecedented restoration, is as commanding and elegant as she was when she was built. After so many years, she has no shortage of stories to tell, some of which seem to not have reached their conclusion. The sound of a long-lost cat scratching at the door can be heard in the middle of the night. A forlorn World War II soldier can be seen wandering the halls. Pianos start playing in the grand ballroom with no one around to push the keys. Whether they remain to deal with some unfinished business or simply because they weren't quite ready for the party to end, some of the guests of yore have never truly checked-out.
For several years before its renovation began, the Cavalier Hotel would close to guests during the winter months, before reopening again in the spring. While phone calls at all hours of the night from guests are nothing new for receptionists working the late shift, when the hotel is presumed to be empty, persistent calls from the sixth floor in the dead of night are a little strange – especially when nothing can be heard on the other end but the distant warble of jazz. Night watchmen would be sent to check on the rooms that were calling, only to find them empty.
It turns out that the sixth floor is a particular hotbed for hair-raising haunts. In 1929, the founder of Coors Brewing Company, Adolph Coors's lifeless body was discovered on the grounds of the hotel, after having checked in to his sixth story guest room earlier in the week. Since that fateful night, the front desk has received many reports of peculiar occurrences from inside the room; random unexplained cold spots; windows opening in the dead of night; even voices and shuffling sounds coming from the corner of the dark room. If you're looking to avoid ghosts, you might want to keep climbing once you get to the sixth floor. Perhaps this is why many guests have reported encountering a kindly older bellman on the stairs leading up from the fifth floor, warning of ghosts up ahead. The problem? The Cavalier hasn't employed any bellboys that match his description in decades.
The historic hotel stands tall today as a time capsule of opulence and grandeur. In the early years, her halls were filled with the traffic of society's elite. Presidents, movie stars, writers, musicians and even old Scarface himself, all made their way up the hill across the Atlantic to be immersed in her elegance and to see and be seen. Her walls reverberated with the distant silky whirr of Gershwin emanating from the grand ballroom, while the subtle suggestion of cigar smoke lingered overhead in a fragrant haze. It was hard for guests not to be enraptured by her mystique and even harder to leave when the band stopped playing. Perhaps, that's why some of them never did.

Nemeskajal (1899-ig Kajal, szlovákul Kajal) község Szlovákiában, a Nagyszombati kerületben, a Galántai járásban.

Kiskajal és Óny puszta (1283 Ouun/ Own) tartozik hozzá.

Fekvése
Galántától 5 km-re keletre fekszik, szomszédos települései Tósnyárasd és Vágkirályfa. A település közelében található a Vág felduzasztásából létesített Vágkirályfai víztározó.

Története
Harcosgyepi-dűlőjében a középkorban valószínűleg határőrfalu volt.
A mai települést 1297-ben említik először. Mozgalmas története során többször pusztították hadak és katasztrófák. A falu legrégibb ismert pecsétje 1855-ből származik. Pecsétjén késő gótikus pajzsban kardot tartó lovas, a pajzs fölött sisak, rajta kardot tartó kar. A körirat szövege: Nemes Kajal helység 1855. Iskolájának legkorábbi említése 1790-ből származik.

Vályi András szerint "KAJAL. Magyar nemes falu Posony Várm. földes Urai c. Boronkay, és több Uraságok, lakosai katolikusok, és más vallásúak, Plébániája 1780dikban állíttatott fel; és az előtt Galántához tartozott, G. Batthyáni Fülep nevezetes fundátziót tett a' Plébánusnak tartására, fekszik Galántához 2/4 mértföldnyire, határja középszerű, réttye, erdeje van."

Fényes Elek szerint "Kajal, magyar falu, Pozsony vmegyében, Galanthához keletre 1 órányira. Lakja 986 kath., 165 evang., 26 reform., 28 zsidó. Kath. paroch. templom. Sok rét és legelő; nagy juhtenyésztés. F. u. többen. Ut. p. Szered."

A trianoni békeszerződésig Pozsony vármegye Galántai járásához tartozott.

A második világháború után a szlovák–magyar lakosságcsere keretében magyar lakosainak egy részét áttelepítették Magyarországra és a helyükre magyarországi szlovákok települtek.

Népessége
1880-ban 1440 lakosából 1302 magyar és 30 szlovák anyanyelvű volt.

1890-ben 1487 lakosából 1455 magyar és 28 szlovák anyanyelvű volt.

1900-ban 1465 lakosából 1454 magyar és 9 szlovák anyanyelvű volt.

1910-ben 1457 lakosából 1449 magyar és 7 szlovák anyanyelvű volt.

1921-ben 1506 lakosából 1490 magyar és 9 csehszlovák volt.

1930-ban 1575 lakosából 1472 magyar és 60 csehszlovák volt.

1941-ben 1516 lakosából 1512 magyar és 4 szlovák volt.

1970-ben 1702 lakosából 1370 magyar és 327 szlovák volt.

1980-ban 1493 lakosából 1189 magyar és 296 szlovák volt.

Rickey House, primed for Houston race day
HOUSTON (April 13) — Top Fuel dragster driver Scott Palmer and Top Fuel Harley rider Rickey House successfully placed their Magic Dry Organic Absorbent-branded race machines in the elimination field of this weekend's 32nd annual Mopar Express Lane NHRA SpringNationals presented by Pennzoil. �Unlike most race weekends, the final professional qualifying session ended up being the best of the four due to a weather system moving through the area that brought cooler temperatures. While House was able to post his best run of the meet in Q4, Palmer couldn't capitalize due to a mechanical issue, but he chose to accept that turn of fate as a bit of good luck. �"That last run we were trying to run a low 3.70 like everyone else but we had a clutch malfunction," Palmer explained. "A piece in the clutch broke and that killed the run. Basically, stuff like that is just about unavoidable so there are two ways to look at it. You can look at it as bad luck or you can luck at as good luck because it didn't happen tomorrow in the first round of eliminations." �Instead,
Palmer rested on his opening pass from Friday, a 3.771 at 321.81 mph, as his run of record, placing him opposite Texan Billy Torrence, who posted a 3.720 at 325.92 mph in Q4. Palmer enjoys a tuning alliance with Torrence and his son Steve, the reigning Top Fuel champion. � �"Unfortunately, we race Billy in the first round," Palmer said. "Those guys are our friends and they help us with so much. Plus, that's a consistently fast car. Either way, we will still go up there and do our best. You just never know in this sport. �If it stays cooler, we'll run our best of the weekend tomorrow morning. Hopefully it's enough to beat Billy. �"It's been a good weekend for us so far. We started off with a 3.77 in Q1, made some changes Friday night that didn't quite work, but at least we got to try some things and still ran a 3.80. Earlier today we tried to run another 3.77 and ran a 3.79. Thankfully we got the last session in before the rain, because otherwise the clutch malfunction would have happened tomorrow first round." �Teammate House was able to ride the cooler air offered in Q4 to a great 6.288 at 222.11 mph, which jumped him from sixth to third place on the eight-bike grid in Mickey Thompson Top Fuel Harley action. �
"I'm really happy because I felt like we hadn't really shown what the Magic Dry bike could do until that last session," House said. "I was pleased with the way the bike was running but it feels really good to step up like that, especially right before we switch over to eliminations. � �"What we do tomorrow will be a lot like it was just then because it's supposed stay cooler like this but the thing is, if the sun comes out, the track may get hotter. The bike is running good and as long as I don't do something stupid I like our chances. The only thing I don't like is how windy it's been all weekend but I just can't think about that. I just have to go out there and do what I do. � �A resident of Humble, Texas, which is 40 miles west of the track, House will have all the hometown support he needs when he opens against North Carolina's Tii Tharpe, who qualified sixth with a 6.338 at 226.13 mph.

Victoria Walks, Council On The Ageing, Vision Australia and others strongly oppose any change to allow footpath cycling.
New research has found cyclists and pedestrians are at greater risk of injury with more footpath cycling.
Australia's largest walking organisation, the Council On The Ageing and Vision Australia are calling upon politicians to ignore cycling lobbyists' calls to allow teenagers and adults to ride on footpaths in Victoria.
Some cycling advocates have welcomed a recent decision in New South Wales to allow teenagers up to the age of 16 to ride on footpaths, but want to go further and allow all cyclists to ride on the footpath.
"The research review found that between 6 and 17 per cent of all cyclist crashes in Australia and New Zealand occurred on footpaths, even though footpath cycling was not allowed in most areas," said Ben Rossiter, Victoria Walks Executive Officer.
"Footpaths are not designed for cycling. Most are narrow, often in poor condition, with overhanging trees and high fences blocking views of vehicles coming out of driveways," said Dr Rossiter.
A separate study by the Amy Gillett Foundation found that "over half of the child bike rider crashes [between 2002 to 2012] … involved being hit after emerging from a footpath or driveway.
The research review also found that any move to legalise all-ages cycling could open local councils up to liability issues. "Suddenly the onus to make footpaths safe for cycling will fall to local councils," Dr Rossiter said.
A survey of 607 Victorians with vision impairment found that, as pedestrians, 8% had been involved in a collision and 20% in a near collision over the previous five years. A quarter of these collisions (or near collisions) were with bicycles.
There is evidence that the presence and behaviour of cyclists is a key concern for older pedestrians. In one survey, approximately 40% of seniors identified cyclists on shared walking and cycling paths to be a factor which discouraged them from walking.
In crashes between walkers and cyclists, the most serious injuries sustained by the pedestrian are usually because of secondary impacts to the pedestrian's head after hitting the ground. The risk of a head injury to a pedestrian occurs at impacts with bikes travelling as slow as 10 km/h.
A study from Sydney and Newcastle found the average speed of cyclists on footpaths was 21 km/h, the same speed as cyclists on roads.
"As people age, walking and accessing public transport becomes increasingly important and older walkers are particularly vulnerable sharing with cyclists", said Ronda Held, COTA CEO. "Cycling safety is a concern for COTA, but solutions should not be at cost of safety for pedestrians".
"While we understand the risks cyclists face on busy roads, making our footpaths less safe for everyone is hardly a solution," said Dr Rossiter. He called for teenagers and novice riders to seek out alternative routes, in areas where safe cycling infrastructure does not yet exist.
"Keeping the pressure up on politicians to create safe, separated spaces for both cyclists and walkers is the best way to increase both cycling and walking participation," said Dr Rossiter.

If ever a film lived up to its name it is Delicacy. The French romantic comedy by directors David and Stéphane Foenkinos, and starring Audrey Tatou and François Damiens, is a delicate and enchanting film which, though it never rushes in telling its story, neither feels ponderous or overextended.
Nathalie (Tatou) is madly in love with her new husband François (Pio Marmaï), and he (for once in the modern world) is madly in love with her. Unfortunately as luck always seems to have it good relationships are doomed before they even get off the ground, and shortly after their marriage François is killed in a freak road accident whilst out jogging one day. Bereft and alone in Paris (and there's nowhere worse to be alone than in the 'City of Love'), Nathalie throws herself into her work for a large corporate organisation (the identity and purpose of which is never quite fully explained).
Three years pass and Nathalie has progressed at work, though not in her personal life as she still privately mourns the loss of her husband and seems emotionally unable to move on. Spurning the attentions of any man who shows interest in her it's not until Markus (Damiens), a socially awkward though affable and well meaning co-worker, asks her out that she again finds love in the most unlikely of relationships.
Delicacy is a reinterpretation of 'Beauty and the Beast' for the 21st century. As in the age old legend Nathalie, like Beauty, is a loner, unable to find love and peace whilst all those around her enjoy life to the full. It takes her to meet Markus and look beneath a somewhat unappealing outward appearance, to discover his inner attractiveness in the form of a gentle, considerate and understanding man, and in the process come out of herself. Nathalie's blossoming love for Markus helps him as well, in a world of beautiful people which has always seemed against him because he has never quite lived up to the idea of social acceptability.
Delicacy's setting of Paris and rural France lends itself wonderfully to the laid back and bohemian'esque storyline based on its director David Foenkinos' bestselling novel of the same name. Tatou is perfectly cast as an otherworldly individual (a role which the French actress has made her own since appearing in the bizarre yet entrancing Amelie (2001)), who after the tragedy which besets her life becomes increasingly removed and disjointed from her family and friends. Damiens also captures the innocence and frustration of the misunderstood Markus with a sharp and heartfelt performance, making the viewer's sympathy inevitably lie with him, whilst the people who mock and snigger behind his back appear as the misfits.
Finishing as the couple visit Nathalie's grandmother Madeleine (a sage-like performance from the eighty five year old actress Monique Chaumette) at her house in the country, it is the old lady's completely unfettered acceptance of Markus and happiness that her beloved grand-daughter Nathalie has found love again, which finally sets the seal on the couple's relationship, as well as showing that that inner beauty is what matters – which could indeed be the subtitle for Delicacy as a whole.

Portuguese Girl – What Is It?


Can't Find the Perfect Home? Then Build One!
How many times have you settled for something short of your ideal? People do it all the time. We buy clothes that fit just a little too big. We buy cars that get good gas mileage but have a few more miles than we would have liked.
We compromise much of what we want because we believe that it's just not feasible or worth the effort to do otherwise. But when it comes to something as important as a home, many people sacrifice their ideal because they believe that it is just too costly to find that perfect fit, that dream home.
As a family business that helps other families find the home they've always wanted, one of the first reservations we hear from potential buyers is that they think it is cheaper to buy an existing home than to build a new one. This misconception has caused too many home buyers to settle before they even consider their full range of options.
It makes sense to think that something used is cheaper than something new, but this doesn't always hold true in housing. There are so many factors at play when determining the cost of buying a home, and all of them need to be weighed before making your final decision.
Where is the property located? Perhaps the biggest factor you'll need to consider is the location of the new or used home. If you want to live in downtown Louisville, then you'll clearly be dealing with a different price range than you would if buying a home in a budding residential area. Building a new home in the right area can actually give you a price advantage compared to buying an existing home in the priciest neighborhood in town.
How much will it cost to make a property livable? It's rare that home buyers find an existing house that is ready to move into immediately after purchase. And if it is primed for an immediate move-in, then you'll be paying more for that luxury. The cost of renovating an existing home is one of the reasons that so many home buyers opt for tear-downs, where it's actually more cost-beneficial to demolish an existing structure and replace with a new house. The reason that tear-downs are a common occurrence in the housing market is that it's existing homes – not new ones – that often prove to be money pits.
Why Sacrifice If You Don't Need To?
Maybe you'll be fortunate enough to find that existing home that checks all your boxes. And perhaps you'll be lucky enough to get it at a great price, but as all home buyers know too well, this is more rare than the optimists among us would like to believe.
When you buy a new home, you get the chance to be involved in the process. You know that everything you'll need – the basement, the open floor plan, the double garage, the island counter in your kitchen – will be factored in before the ground is broken.
It's true that some builders are better than others at finishing a project on time and on budget, which is why it's important to know who you're working with before you get started. We know that the builder you choose is perhaps the most important factor in the cost and quality of your new home, and we encourage you to meet with Ken Thieneman so he can tell you exactly what you can expect from the process.
Ken has a reputation for building high quality homes, though many people just assume that the high quality comes with high costs. In fact, many clients have come to us as a moonshot. They think that it will probably be too expensive to live in a Ken Thieneman home, but they're so frustrated with process of searching for an existing home and meeting with other builders, that they thought it wouldn't hurt to see for themselves. They are always glad they did.
One of the great pleasures of being in this business is seeing the surprise and relief on the faces of clients when they realize that building a Ken Thieneman home isn't just realistic, it's actually their best option. Being able to provide a buyer with the home they've dreamed of is what we take the most pride in, and we welcome the opportunity to work with you to see if we might be the right fit for your project.
For the past six years, the number of Americans buying new homes has steadily increased. People are finding out that they don't need to settle. If you've been frustrated by the sacrifices you need to make in an existing home search, then talk to Ken Thieneman to find out if the home you've always wanted might be your best option after all.
