"Dark Side" is a song by American pop rock band R5. It was released on February 1, 2016 as the fifth and final single from Sometime Last Night. It was written by Ross Lynch, Riker Lynch, Rocky Lynch and Ellington Ratliff, and produced by Rocky and Matt Wallace.

Background and release
In an interview to Billboard, Ross said that "Dark Side" was the first song written for the album and it generated inspiration for the band to write other songs. He said: "I think it was at that moment that we realized we actually have the capability and the skill set to just write the whole record. And then we just kept writing songs and beating off songs that we previously had. We had a checklist; We'd be like, 'Alright, 'Dark Side' is better than this song, so it'll take that song's spot, and then this song can take this other song's spot.' We basically worked our way down and replaced the whole record". The funky guitar riffs came about with a bass line from Rocky, then the band sprinkled a little synth on top". It was written by Ross Lynch, Riker Lynch, Rocky Lynch and Ellington Ratliff, and produced by Rocky and Matt Wallace.

The song was released on February 1, 2016. To Maria Ciezak of The Aquarian, Riker commented that the band wanted the song as a single from the beginning of the album: "Everyone on our crew, our friends, our fans, everybody kept telling us "Dark Side" is the one you have to make the single! We all love it, and we know it's a fan favorite, so it's been going over really well".

Reception

"Dark Side" received positive reviews from critics. Jamee-Beth Livingston of Breakaway Daily said the song brings "a deeper level of honesty and realness" in their songwriting. She also said the band "giving in to bad temptations because they usually end up making good stories". Tim Sendra of AllMusic was positive and said that "Dark Side" "has a loose-limbed bounce that's missing from the pro tracks, the disco throwback". Gary Graff of Billboard was positive about the funk-theme direction, highlighting the other songs of the album, and compared it to songs of Michael Jackson. Katrina M. of Sputinik Music was positive and said the song is reversed, bright and cheerful.

Katy Amjs of Music Is The Home For You Pain said she was surprised by the disco rhythm and commented: "Unlike its title indicates, the track is fast paced from the first beat and maintains its energy throughout". She also said that the song convincing the listener to get up and dance along. Emery Columna of Maaf Box said that "Dark Side" is the key that opens the traditional rock door that held the R5 within the predictable. He also said: "[the song] is a clue to where R5 can go musically to break the evil spell some [critics] have unfairly cast upon this groovy band".

Music video
The "Dark Side" music video was released on March 10, 2016 and directed by band members. The video was recorded by R5 with a GoPro and contains scenes of the Sometime Last Night Tour, showing concerts by the United States, Europe, New Zealand, Australia and Brazil, meet with fans and behind the scenes of travel. Ross said the band chose not to record a studio video clip, because they wanted their own vision of the before and after shows to show for the fans.

Orders of the Day — Local Government Finance
Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 8:08 pm on 1st February 1995.
Mr Anthony Coombs , Wyre Forest 8:08 pm, 1st February 1995
It may well be less. It is unfortunate because it breaks the link of accountability between the local electorate and the council. I know that a debate is going on within the Department at present, but I hope that the sins of the profligate should be visited upon the profligate. There is a case within the limits for either a relaxation of the existing capping limit or giving the Minister discretion. That should depend on the efforts of the capped authorities to order their affairs more sensibly.
In addition, I am concerned about the use of the social and economic index as it affects councils like mine, which have a significant amount of deprivation in towns with populations of less than 100,000, but which otherwise cover rural areas. The index also affects towns such as mine, which have a small ethnic minority population. The use of the social and economic index means that those towns are deprived of £1.04 million out of a £10 million budget. The Government should be looking at how those indices work.
My second concern relates to area cost adjustments. I do not regard it as acceptable that Hereford and Worcester county council should be given £104 less on primary and £139 less on secondary education than a county such as Oxfordshire. I defy anybody to believe that the costs of living in Oxfordshire are significantly greater than those of Hereford and Worcester. Those figures alone show that ACAs are in urgent need of review, and I hope that that is done as quickly as possible.
My third concern is the way in which councils use their own assets. Not enough councils have used private finance—purely for ideological reasons which they will later regret—particularly in housing, to introduce more capital into their coffers which they would then be able to spend to their tenants' advantage. The net receipt for my district council—I hope it will read the debate in Hansard—if it transferred its housing stock to housing associations would be no less than £51.2 million. At a stroke, the council would eliminate its debt, and would have about £12.8 million to spend on capital improvements for the benefit of the people of the area. That also takes into account what the council regards as the fixed part of its expenditure—some £4 million out of £10.5 million. A significant proportion of that is payments on debt charges for capital projects on which it has—possibly unwisely—embarked in the past. The Minister will see that there is significant potential for councils such as mine if they are prepared—with the acquiesence of their council tax payers—to effect large-scale transfers of their housing budgets.
My final point concerns the teachers' pay review body. Obviously it is important that teachers are properly rewarded to attract good-quality people into the profession. We all agree with that. But equally, I happen to believe that pay determination is best done locally and according to local labour markets. From talking to teachers, I know that if the implication of them not taking an extra 1 per cent. or 2 per cent. in their wage packets was that they would be able to keep on staff who would otherwise be made voluntarily or compulsorily redundant, they would—on the basis of what was needed locally—be prepared to forgo that increase.
The fact is that, since 1990, teachers' pay has increased by 36 per cent. against a national average of 23 per cent. This year the teachers' pay review body may give an increase that is entirely unrealistic. I suggest that that be used merely as a guideline, so that teachers' pay is locally determined—

Be like Jay! Be gay and scolding, I guess. Looks like poetry of questionable quality isn't only the domain of grade school English class.
Doth this lovely creature go.
What may be his dainty name?
There are many ways English doesn't follow precise scientific style definitions. Some English-speakers are annoyed by some of the inconsistencies and disorder of English words. There are even some who take their annoyance out on others who don't see such a problem. In this, there seems to be a movement of sorts that tries to bring some sort of hierarchical order to English words. When people defy this attempt at order, they sometimes find themselves being attacked for their word choices.
I've talked about the phrase begs the question in a previous article. Use of this phrase will trigger attacks by pedants. There are specific words that elicit similar literary venom. At the top of the list is ironical.
There are many people that sincerely believe ironical is not a word, and that only ironic should be used in cases where irony is an adjective. They will actually make fun of people that use the word ironical correctly. I've used the term myself in an ironic sense, only to trigger people who don't understand the irony of being opposed to the use of the word ironical, and the double-irony that ironical is actually a real word, and the triple-irony that I used the word to make fun of something else (namely, being pedantic).
There was an episode on Seinfeld, where the character Seinfeld confidently declares there is no such word ironical. I don't know if this started the hatred of the word, but it certainly popularized that hatred.
Another ironic fact about ironical is that it actually has a more concise definition than ironic. Ironic has three distinct definitions, where ironical has two related definitions.
The word irony itself is also the subject to derision. The definition of irony includes something being incongruous. Yet, using irony in this manner can trigger pendants into criticising you.
Another example of people trying to bring order to disorder of the English language lies in the alternative terms for numbers. Namely, couple, few, dozen, etc. But, that's not good enough for some. In some schools, kids are taught that there is a concise progression to these terms, where couple = 2, several = 3 and few = 4.
If you look up several in the dictionary, you'll find a variety of definitions that can vary between dictionaries. Some dictionaries say that several means "more than 2 or 3", while others say it means "more than a few". However, in all cases, several represents an "indefinitely small number".
If you look up few in the dictionary, you'll find that few doesn't actually represent any particular number at all in most definitions. It doesn't mean "3 or 4" or just "4". It simply means an "indefinitely small number", similar to several.
I've even heard some claim that the word some has a defined number of 2 or more, when in fact, some can refer to any number, large or small, including 1 or 1,000,000.
Another word I've seen trigger people is orientate. Orientate and orient both mean the same thing as verbs in most cases. But, orient is also a noun. Some people prefer to say orientate to identify the word as a verb since orientate has no noun meaning. In other words, it's actually more concise to use the word orientate when talking about taking an action that will change the orientation of a thing.
Is it wrong to use the word inflammable when flammable means exactly the same thing? Well, they both have the same definition, but for different reasons. Root word for flammable is flame. Flame is a noun. However, inflame is the root word of inflammable. Inflame is a verb. And, inflammation is a noun with a completely different meaning than flame. The word flammation is obsolete. It meant to cause something to be set on fire. What's the other word for that? Oh, that's right, inflame. So, technically, flammable should be the word we stop using if we were to choose between it and inflammable. I wonder who would be inflamed by that?
What are some other words that bug someone you know?
You can change your weight in many ways. But, there is one way that doesn't require doing anything more than just travelling North or South. Most dramatically, your weight is different at the Equator than it is at the North Pole. This is due to the centrifugal force of the Earth's daily rotation.
The Earth spins one full rotation in a period just under 24 hours (kinda). At a spot that is one inch from the North (or South) Pole, the speed of the ground as it rotates around the axis is literally just over 1/4in per hour. By comparison, a common snail can slither 1837in per hour. However, at the Equator, the speed of the ground as it rotates around the axis is a whopping 1,036 MPH! This is faster than the Speed of Sound (761.2 MPH). Thankfully, the laws of nature do a great job of making sure we do not notice such things as we walk about in your daily lives.
Even still, that is fast enough to notice the effect of the centrifugal force of Earth's spin on your weight. Basically, you weigh less at the Equator than you do at the North Pole. Your mass doesn't change, of course. It's just that the pull of Earth's gravity is slightly mitigated by it's rotation about its axis.
That said, there are many factors that affect the local gravity. The problem is that gravity itself is generally measured in terms that are meaningless to everyday life. So, when an online local gravity calculator tells you that your local gravity in meters per seconds squared, that isn't all that helpful in finding out how much more or less you'll weight somewhere else.
I've created a simplified calculator as a spreadsheet . It will tell you how much you'll weigh at any latitude based on your current weight at your current latitude. The calculations on the spreadsheet are rough. They do not take into account many factors that might affect your weight, nor are they precise enough for serious scientific studies. However, they are close enough to satisfy whatever curiosity you might have. As such, use the spreadsheet for entertainment purposes only, and have fun seeing how much less you'll weight at particular latitudes!


Hope is one of my best friends at work. We work really closely together, we talk just about every day, and she makes me laugh harder than many people can. The only problem? She lives 2,120 miles away in Portland, Oregon, and I only get to see her a few times a year.
She was in town this week for work, and it was the best to be able to say "good morning" and razz her in person. She also kept spoiling me with Mindy's Hot Chocolate pastries from the Revival Food Hall. Diet starts after the Super Bowl?
On Thursday we planned to go to dinner, with Au Cheval in mind. Upon arrival (around 5:20 pm), frozen from the frigid temperature, the wait was an hour to an hour and twenty minutes (the cheeseburger IS one of a kind, I can vouch for it). But we decided to hustle across Randolph to Girl & the Goat. Immediate seating at the bar was perfect; Hope was excited because she'd been wanting to dine here!
It was my third time at Girl & the Goat (post-wedding and pre-baby, I loved to live it up), and it was exactly how I remembered it. The beautiful decor with exotic details and textures, the hustle of a good wait staff, the delicious smells of high-quality and innovative dishes, the beautiful craft cocktails waiting to be sipped…should I keep going?
I asked for a dairy-free menu (Stephanie Izard is very accommodating to those of us with food allergies and intolerances at all of her restaurants, much appreciated), to balance out my meal and make sure I didn't overdo it. It's hard for me to show restraint to gouda bread with smoked lard butter and romesco. So I didn't.
I also had the Boondock Saints cocktail (a tasty chilled Hot Toddy), a glass of still rosé, braised beef tongue, grilled cuddlefish, the famous sautéed green beans, and the most decadent and fantastic crumpets I've ever tasted in my life (served with goat liver mousse, rosemary pickles, grapefruit preserves, and persimmon marmalade, of course).
It's been a while since my last visit to a local brewery, so I was pretty excited to receive an invite to the Lagunitas Tap Room for our friend Jeff's birthday. Children allowed?!? Even better.
So we packed up the diaper bag for some celebrating and had the best time. We got to the Tap Room around 3:30 pm on a Saturday, and the parking lot was pretty full. We entered the warehouse, where we were greeted at the door, and followed on to a psychedelic hallway of blue lights, neon paint, and loud music. I was a little nervous what I'd find at the end of the hall, but quite amused along the way!
And after climbing the metal steps, it was clear why there was a line: the place was packed, and everyone was having a good time (=not leaving soon). There were a few rooms with lots of seating for lounging and eating, live entertainment in the form of a band and a magician, and picnic tables overlooking the brewery. Lucky for us, our friends scored a great picnic table with plenty of room to sit and stand around.
I liked all of them, but Aunt Sally was the kind of beer that a few sips is plenty. Although I appreciate how unique it is. I've never had a mash before. But Nate stole my Aunt Sally. Haha.
And in my effort to eat better, I ordered the chili (instead of a burger or pretzel or nachos, which I was drooling for!). Now, I'm a whimp, but consider this your warning: it's spicy. Everyone at our table heard me say it about 15 times (sorry!), but it's the kind of spicy that makes you keep eating and eating. I just needed something to cool me down. Enter: Glazed and Infused's Jumbo Doughnut.
I love donuts. Like, I really love donuts. And this donut is one of the most glorious I've ever seen. The perfect layer of icing paired with tons of sprinkles. And one would wonder if it would taste any good. I'm here to tell you–it's amazing. So amazing that I ordered one for my sister-in-law's birthday the following weekend.
Please check out the Jumbo Doughnut and Lagunitas Tap Room. Good for day or night drinking with friends and family any age!
While I'm neither Irish or a Guinness drinker (especially now!), I had to tag along as my friends met up for lunch at The Curragh in our old stomping grounds of Edison Park.
We met up on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed some traditional Irish fare (think corned beef and fish and chips), as well as tasty bar food staples like cheeseburgers and spinach artichoke dip. Their fries are out of this world!
It was quite crowded, which made for a lively atmosphere, perfect for our big group. The Curragh is a great place to bring anyone, from babies to grandparents. There's a little something for everyone!
I have to mention that we had a great table in the back corner, too, right next to the fire place. Bonus points for having hooks to hang coats and jackets (yes, I am a dork and enjoy the little conveniences in life!).
Stop by for a pint soon!

Habitat Creation Scheme Confirmed at Rainham Marshes
Land & Water (an environmental company, passionate about caring for The UK's coastline and the nation's network of rivers, streams, wetlands and waterways) gained consent this week, for developing a Habitat Creation Scheme on the River Thames at Rainham Marshes. This will be the largest habitat creation project ever constructed inside the M25.
The project will involve creating a significant area of new wetland habitat from re-engineered spoils, coupled with a strategic investment in riverside infrastructure to support along the Thames Corridor for decades to come.
The scheme will see the importation of over six million tonnes of wet and dry spoil material which will form both the basis of a new landform and cover the site to collect rainwater to fuel the wetlands passively.
The site sits between Veolia's landfill site at Rainham and the RSPB's Rainham reserve. With the new area creating 1,000,000m2 of habitat, more than 5km2 of continuous habitats will be formed, providing East London with an oasis of wildlife owned and managed by the RSPB.
A detailed operations plan has been developed with the RSPB so that areas of the site are operated between migratory bird nesting seasons, with compensation habitats pre-constructed to provide essential refuges.
Jon Cruddas MP said: "Rainham Marshes already boast the largest RSPB site in London, this investment has the potential to greatly increase the existing biodiversity of the area and I am pleased that the Habitat Creation Scheme is going ahead."

Is Using Recycled Floor Tiles a Good Idea?
Homes from across the globe cannot be complete without having a room dedicated to tiles. Tiles are known to be durable, water resistant, and easy to clean, making them the most popular flooring choice for bathrooms, kitchen counters, and some outdoor areas. With the various types available in the market today, it can be difficult, and expensive, to choose the perfect one that can match your home's structure, lifestyle, and overall usage. If you still cannot decide on what tile to choose from, why not go for recycled tiles?
Against other types of floorings, recycled tiles also come with certain advantages. Unlike carpets, for example, recycled floor tiling is not made from fine fibers which can entrap dust, mites, and other tiny particles that can be harmful to your health. The surface of recycled tiles is smooth, immediately making it impossible for them to harbor such substances.
What makes it different from the rest is that it is cost-effective, and its creation process is less hazardous for our planet. Since it is made out of recycled materials, their components are already made and often easy to find, which helps reduce the waste that is shipped to landfills and decreases the mining of minerals that are needed to create the conventional tiles. Manufacturers do not have to put too much effort into developing them, thus, making recycled tiles the cheaper alternative. Also, unlike some tiles, recycled ones do not produce toxic fumes – making it a safer choice for indoor usage.
If you are living in the surrounding areas of Dallas, Delta, Fannin, Franklin, Grayson, Hopkins, Hunt, Lamar, Red River, Rockwall, and Titus, in Texas, and need to have your tiles professionally handled, contact Dust Commander, and we will take care of the rest. With our top-of-the-line tile cleaning products and much talked about dust free tile removal procedures at hand, we will assure you that, once we are done with the job, your home will look as good as new!

Parole board sets release rules for convicted Calgary child killer from B.C. prison
formerly known as Michael Douglas Sheets, has been serving a 14-and-a-half year sentence which will end in December
Jun. 12, 2019 6:30 p.m.
A Calgary man convicted of killing two children in a firebombing has been told he must attend a brain injury centre and take counselling for anger management after he's released from prison this summer.
The two conditions are among several laid out by the Parole Board of Canada for John James Joseph Jerom Hala when he's released from a Mission, B.C. prison.
READ MORE: Convicted killer recaptured after escaping B.C. prison
Hala, formerly known as Michael Douglas Sheets, has been serving a 14-and-a-half year sentence which will end in December, but his statutory pre-release will come July 1.
After he is freed, the 49-year-old man must also undergo counselling for substance abuse, stay away from the victims' family, not consume alcohol or street drugs and not associate with anyone involved in crime.
Hala was found guilty of manslaughter, arson and disregard of human life in 2004 for throwing a Molotov cocktail into a home in southeast Calgary.
RELATED: Searches continue for two inmates after separate escapes from B.C. prison

Ali Al-Mayahi, who was five, and his four-year-old sister, Saja Al-Mayahi, were killed, while their mother escaped the burning building by jumping from the second storey.
Hala, who escaped from custody twice during his sentence, will live at an undisclosed facility during his five months of pre-release.
The parole board says without the strict rules, Hala presents "an undue risk to society."
"These conditions are reasonable and necessary in order to protect society and to facilitate your successful reintegration into society," the board said in its six-page decision released May 30 of this year. (CTV Calgary)

Second favourites Brazil have reached 7 out of the last 9 Copa America finals and have won 4 of the last 5 Copa America tournaments. Doubts around coach Mano Manezes continue to increase, with Brazil winning just 2 of their last 5 games, scoring only 3 goals. Like Argentina, Brazil can boast an equally strong attacking line with Neymar and Ganso two of the brightest emerging stars emanating out of Brazil. As well as the Santos pair, Mano Menezes also has Pato and Robinho (both of AC Milan), Julio Cesar of Inter and Dani Alves of Barcelona. Curiously in both 2004 and 2007 Brazil failed to top their Group.
Four years ago on home soil Venezeula reached the quarter finals, although this was largely to do with a favourable group draw as hosts. Before that Venezuela have not progressed passed the group stages for 12 straight tournaments and coach Cesar Farias will have his work cut out to repeat the feat reached in 2007. A lot will hinge on midfielder Juan Arango of Borussia Monchengladbach, although Cesar Farias has also blooded a number of youngsters into his squad, which may surprise.
Paraguay impressed many during the 2010 FIFA World Cup reaching the quarter finals. Striker Lucas Barrios of German champions Borussia Dortmund is the star turn and Marcelo Estigarribia is another competent attacking talent along with forgotten man Roque Santa Cruz. Paraguay have equally shown they are adept at the back under Gerardo Martino and go into 2011's Copa America with 4 straight clean sheets to their name. Paraguay have a good recent head to head record against Group B opponents and should qualify along with Brazil. Backers of Paraguay should be aware however that they have not progressed past the quarter finals in the last 8 tournaments.
Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia is the star name for Ecuador who would do well to qualify out of Group B. Manchester City striker Felipe Caciedo had an encouraging campaign on loan at Levante last season and will be one of a handful of players hoping to make the difference for Reinaldo Rueda. Ecuador look like having to beat Venezuela if they are to stand any chance of qualification.

Time for Japan to Get Its Own Nuclear Weapons?
Posted by aurelius77 on December 3, 2014
If it really wanted to, Japan could have one in as little as three months and likely has already been working on them.
A TNI Video Interview: Are America's nuclear forces the right size? Should Japan consider acquiring its own nuclear weapons? We ask Yale Grand Strategy Fellow Christine M. Leah.
America's policy of opposing the proliferation of nuclear weapons needs to be more nuanced. What works for the United States in the Middle East may not in Asia. We do not want Iran or Saudi Arabia to get the bomb, but why not Australia, Japan, and South Korea? We are opposed to nuclear weapons because they are the great military equalizer, because some countries may let them slip into the hands of terrorists, and because we have significant advantage in precision conventional weapons. But our opposition to nuclear weapons in Asia means we are committed to a costly and risky conventional arms race with China over our ability to protect allies and partners lying nearer to China than to us and spread over a vast maritime theater.
None of our allies in Asia possess nuclear weapons. Instead, they are protected by what is called extended deterrence, our vaguely stated promise to use nuclear weapons in their defense if they are threatened by regional nuclear powers, China, North Korea and Russia. We promise, in essence, to trade Los Angeles for Tokyo, Washington for Canberra, and Seattle for Seoul, as preposterous as that might seem.
In order to avoid such a test of our will, the United States attempts to contain China in particular, but others as well, via a conventional force buildup—the so-called pivot to Asia. We station tens of thousands of troops in Japan and South Korea, and are expanding our presence in Guam, Australia, Singapore, and the Philippines. The conventional challenge is China's ability to deny access for US forces in or near the island chains that are our Asian allies and that at the same time guard China. As China's military grows the access issue becomes more problematic because of China's ability to saturate the zone with missiles and aircraft that can threaten our military presence. The Air-Sea Battle operational concept, a costly networking of missile defenses, long-range-strike capabilities and naval forces has been the US military's response. Billions are being spent by the United States to assure our Asian allies of our will to protect them conventionally as well with extended nuclear deterrence.
But there is a better, cheaper way to provide security in Asia. We should encourage our allies to acquire their own nuclear weapons. With nuclear weapons Australia, Japan and the others would have the capability to protect themselves from bullying. Nearly all of the allies are rich enough and technologically advanced enough to acquire and maintain nuclear forces. And those who are not—the Philippines, for example—lose much of their vulnerability once the focus shifts away from conventional defenses of the island chains. Nuclear weapons helped prevent the Cold War from turning hot. In Asia they can stop a conventional arms race that is forcing the United States to invest in weapons that can block the Chinese military on its doorstep, thousands of miles from our own. Let our Asian allies defend themselves with the weapon that is the great equalizer.

Take time to prepare the area surrounding your hot tub. Creating a romantic visual environment will enhance the experience. Consider candles, music and flowers beside and around your hot tub. Taking the time to decorate will also show that you care and have put thought into planning the evening. Your partners will appreciate the effort.
Consider using this as an opportunity to surprise your mate. Keep your plans mum until you are both together. Instead of giving away the goose let your partners arrive to this wonderful, romantic gesture. Let them know you have plans, but don't give away any details.
Don't forget to wine and dine your Valentine's Day date. Have some wine and plastic glasses available by the tub. Never use glass in the hot tub. If the glass breaks in the tub, it can be extremely difficult and time consuming to remove all the broken particles.
Prepare some romantic snacks to nibble by the tub. Strawberries and other fresh fruit are usually a safe bet, but hopefully you already know what your hot tub partner likes best and have prepare or purchases their favorite treats.
Note: Be careful with consuming alcohol and hot tubbing. Do not drink to excess.
If your hot tub has a screen, think about having a romantic film cued up and ready to go. Nothing kills the romance momentum faster than indecision over which movie to watch. Be prepared, make sure you have clean, dry towels at hand and around the hot tub. Now relax, be yourself and have a fun, romantic evening together.

Vietnamese Priests Convention in Atlanta: "The Priest as Minister of Unity and Fraternity
Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory
29/Oct/2015
The Priest as Minister of Unity and Fraternity
A speech by Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory, Archbishop of Atlanta Archdiocese to Vietnamese Priests
Emmaus VI Convocation in Atlanta, October 26, 2015
Eventually happens to every priestand usually it occurs rather early in our priestly ministry. I remember the first time it happened to me during one of the first Easter seasons of my Priesthood. I had worked very hard on a homily and had produced what I was personally convinced was truly a masterpiece of oratorical rapture! I had studied, and prayed, and deftly delivered the masterwork. I positioned myself outside of church, almost anticipating the accolades obviously due to my extraordinary efforts. And then I was dumbfounded when one pious soul informed me that he had been offended rather than enlightened by my homiletic efforts!
In my case, the text that formed the focus of my homily that Sunday was Saint Luke's description in the Book of the Acts of the Apostles of the peace and unity that the ancient Church enjoyed. The passage occurs on the Second Sunday of Easter during the B-Cycle of readings: "The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common." Acts 4:32
The point of my homily was that Saint Luke's passage was conceivably more an idealizedrepresentation of how the Church ought to exist rather than a precise description of how the Church actually managed to live even in apostolic times – much less how the Church lives in the present moment. The beleaguered and quite disgruntled Catholic was convinced that I had formally denied the written truth of Sacred Scripture and had tried to confuse the Faithful who had attended my Mass. I was flabbergasted! How could anyone have missed the point of my homily?
Now many years later and after almost 32 years as a bishop, I am even more convinced of the astuteness of my original opinion than I was at the time when as a young priest I offered that homily to a community of believers. The apostolic Church clearly enjoyed many extraordinary gifts that perhaps have long since disappeared from our contemporary world, but such profound unity and peace as Luke described in that statement might have been just as much a wish and a prayer for him as it remains a still-to-be achieved reality for us. The stories of the squabbling that took place between Hebrew-and-Greek speaking widows, the escapades of Ananias and Sapphira are fairly conclusive evidence that the apostolic Church did not enjoy the universal and unquestioned tranquility that the Book of the Acts of the Apostles occasionally might suggest.
Obviously I have not forgotten that surprising reaction and unanticipated encounter. And now with the benefit of many more years of pastoral service augmented by the wisdom that comes from receiving thousands of letters of complaint, pastoral squabbling of all types, and misunderstandings of every stripe within the ecclesial world, I am more convinced than ever before of Luke's longing for a Church that was truly enjoying unity and peace. In fact, after these years as a bishop, I must confess that I understand what must have been Luke's desire all the more and I make it my own in prayer every day.
The Church has never known a single moment in our entire history when we were not facing some of the challenges that human diversity and differences of opinion bring. Some people in the Church perhaps do like to invoke times when we might have appeared to have been more united and more unified than we may now be, but in truth there has never been a moment of perfect unity and unquestioned solidarity.
After all, we are the Catholic Church and by that very title we welcome diversity, divergent opinions, as well as different approaches to spiritual development. The Catholicity of the Church always welcomes variety. Yet it is also the mission of the Catholic Church to bring diversity, variety, and differences of opinions into ultimate harmony and oneness in Christ. The Church seeks always to bring unity and peace to our diversity and to do so uniquely in Christ Jesus through the grace of the Holy Spirit.
The very presence of these disparities is a sure indication that Christ's redemptive death and resurrection have not yet achieved their full force in creation. As Saint Paul reminded the Romans:
[Rom 8:19]For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God;
for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope
that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God.
We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now;
And not only that, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
Jesus' mission of universal Salvation includes the restoration of unity within the human family that the sin of Adam and Eve shattered and our own sinfulness continues to obscure. Fragmentation and disharmony are a consequence of sin. Disunity is one of the legacies of original sin and it impacts even the Church that Christ Himself established and will continue to love till the end of time. The rampant expressions of conflicts that touch every human community are clear indications that Christ's redemptive death and resurrection have not yet come to perfection in creation.
We live at a moment in time when we are constantly made aware of the great differences that impact the world in which we live. Perhaps an earlier age, with fewer and less effective means of communication, could ignore or overlook the manifest diversity within the human family. Our age is made blatantly aware of our many differences and with almost universal revelation and ceaseless publicity and often-unfriendly embellishment.
The mobility of people has forever shattered the quiet security of neighborhoods that were once the exclusive home communities of people who all shared a common racial and cultural heritage, language, and even Faith. Great metropolitan regions like the Archdiocese of Atlanta are microcosms of the very world itself. The United States, which likes to boast of its legendary welcome to the immigrant peoples who came in great numbers for many generations, must now extend that same welcome mat to our newest citizens who have heard of our celebrated hospitality and legendary welcome. Even though they might not be aware of our many obvious failures at true hospitality. We find ourselves living closer than ever to one another. With the explosion of technology and communications, we assume that we know more about one another. We routinely enter each other's lives in ways that our ancestors could never have even imagined nor ever thought desirable. Our diversity is a daily experience, inescapable even for those who would prefer to live in isolation and clannish security. It is part of Her Divine mission that the Church welcomes every one.
The Church herself, no stranger to cultural, linguistic, racial, and ethnic diversity, is also often confounded by the task of maintaining our Catholicity and our Unity simultaneously. It is the mission of the Church to welcome all that come to this family of Faith. We are obliged to follow Christ's own pattern of seeking out the stranger, the lost and the neglected. We welcome them not simply as outsiders or intruders but as those who have gifts to bring that will enrich the entire Church of Jesus Christ and who in turn need to be made holy by the message and person of the Lord mediated through His Church. This is no easy task and indeed it grows more complicated each day. When the People of God gather around the Lord's altar for Eucharist in places like Atlanta, we are often amazed at the faces, voices, accents, costumes, and customs of those that share and fill this sacred space. For it is in the Eucharist that the Church comes to terms with Her cherished identity as a Family of Faith centered in Christ and ".. . gather[ing] people of every race, language, and way of life. . . "Eucharistic Prayer of Reconciliation II
When we stand at the altar as Christ's priests, we are challenged to become living signs of hope for a world seeking unity and peace. Our Eucharistic activity must be a beacon of hope for people who long for a sense of unity and peace that often the world can neither provide nor even recognize. Sadly, we must confess that often the unity and the peace that ought to be witnessed in a local presbyterate are often as illusive and hard to achieve as the unity and peace that Luke both cites and desires for the apostolic community of Faith.
One of the requests that we often hear, simply because we are priests, because we wear a collar, because we are public ministers is the supplication: "please pray for me, Father." Instinctively, people suppose or assume that our prayers are more efficacious than theirs. People believe that when we pray for them or for their needs, that God hears and will ultimately answer those prayers. It is a sign of the great confidence and trust that people have in us – and the even greater Faith that they have in God.
Priests regularly remember the people that we serve. You can't forget that 10-year-old facing cancer surgery. The young single mother who is struggling to balance a job and a family captures your heart. You return often to the faces of the elderly that you visit with the Eucharist. Our hearts are filled with the faces and the needs of the people that we are privileged to serve. Priests also need to pray for one another. In fact, the Church includes a public prayer for the clergy at each Eucharist. You pray for your Bishop by name – and please don't ever cease that intercession! However, you are also reminded in Eucharist to pray for one another.
Priests ought to pray for one another as more than simply a class or group, but as brothers – with faces and needs as real as those of the people in your parish. Pray for one another with very specific images in your hearts. Pray that each priest discovers what God would have him do – and not so much that God begins to see things your way. Be united in your prayer for one another since no unity will be possible without a complete surrender to God's Will rather than merely ecclesial détente.
Even as I broach this sensitive yet critical topic, I can hear my own priests that I am privileged to serve in the Archdiocese of Atlanta chide me with another whispered aspiration also taken from Luke the Gospel writer: "Physician, cure yourself,' and say, 'Do here in your native place the things that we heard were done in Capernaum." [Luke 4:23]
The simple truth is that every presbyterate falls short of the unity and harmony that must be the desire and a goal for each local Church. The only differences are the individual circumstances that exist within each Church. For this very reason, the Bishops of the United States publicly acknowledged and cited many of the challenges that threaten and frustrate unity within the presbyterate in the 2001 document The Basic Plan for the Ongoing Formation of Priests. We also recognized our own personal responsibility to work to improve a spirit of unity within a presbyterate. Yet an individual local bishop – no matter how gifted he might personally be – can never bring about unity within a presbyterate – as capable and personally devoted as he might be to that task. The work of unity within a presbyterate is above all a shared responsibility. Perhaps it is just my own way of appeasing my own obvious failure to accomplish fully and to perfect a spirit of unity within my own presbyterate that I speak these words to you, dear brothers.
Priests are not always kind to one another. Let me say that even more emphatically: Priests are too often brutal toward one another! The best bishop in the Church cannot overcome the damage that vicious attitudes and despicable behavior inflicts upon a presbyterate when "the brothers do a job on one another!" The things that I have heard my brother priests say against each other have scandalized and hurt me. I have been appalled to learn of the acts of viciousness that priests have inflicted upon one another. However, equally troublesome and destructive are the unspoken and severe attitudes and the sometimes painful actions that priests occasionally inflict upon one another.
We men are often described as naturally competitive. We seem genuinely to enjoy a healthy contest. We like to engage in ritual exhibitions of our prowess and skills. All of that is natural and when controlled, even healthy for the Priesthood. We hone our skills and develop ourselves when we compete for excellence. The viciousness of which I speak is not an exhibit of male rivalry. It is the act of the massacre of a reputation, a good name, and a person within a local Church. I have heard it said that the process of considering a local candidate for the episcopacy can be a feeding frenzy of petty rivalry and character assassination. We need to know what we are doing when we are so harsh with one another. I speak not of the healthy and mutually beneficial and fraternal charity that comes when we call one another to improve and to greatness. Rather, I refer to the mean-spirited and viciously motivated conversations and actions that priests occasionally inflict upon one another. And only priests can correct that sinful display.
These harsh and uncharitable actions and attitudes make unity within a local presbyterate very difficult to achieve and to strengthen. The document, The Basic Plan for the Ongoing Formation of Priests,makes direct reference to some of the obstacles to priestly unity, including the responsibility of the local bishop for fostering this spirit. We bishops must call you to recognize those actions that stifle a spirit of unity. And of course, we ourselves must not engage in such behavior and admit when we have not encouraged a true spirit of unity because of some decision or action.
One of the areas of priestly life that is often a source of anxiety that can easily lead to disunity is the impact of the workload that only seems to increase for every priest. We grow tired and insecure that there are simply not enough hands to accomplish the tasks that face the typical hardworking pastor. As our numbers age and diminish, we grow intolerant of and occasionally angry with any priest who does not share in the labor that so often oppresses us. We grow impatient with any priest who does not see and value the work that sometimes overwhelms us.
There are many ministries within a given local Church. Each pastoral assignment has its own value and significance for the life of a diocese. Yet in the United States, parish life remains a fundamentally important expression of the vitality of Catholicity. Parishes are where most of our people encounter Christ and come face to face with the Church. We are fortunate to have such a vitally thriving locus for the mission of the Church in our parishes. Most priests instinctively value and stress the importance of parish life. Occasionally, the busy parish priest finds it difficult to understand or to appreciate the work of any other priest not in a parish assignment. At times, even we bishops can forget that the work of the Church obviously goes beyond parish ministry. Often we may do so when we are frustrated or stifled when attempting to satisfy the constantly expanding and demanding pastoral needs of our parish communities.
Every priest needs to believe that his ministry is valuable and that it advances the work and mission of the Church. The Church grows strong in a number of ways including through the service and pastoral devotion of priests who are engaged in Education, Chaplaincy programs, Military service, the generous role of those in mission or specialized local pastoral and social programs even those engaged in the often belittled administrative duties in the Chancery need to know and to feel that they are making a valuable contribution to the life of a local Church. It can be disheartening for any priest to sense that because he is not a full-time parish priest that somehow he does not enjoy the favor and the respect of his brothers in the ministry.
As with any asset such as the strength and importance of parish life, there are usually contingent limitations. The life of a local Church can grow strong with thriving parishes. But there is always the possibility that parishes can become islands that do not foster a sense of the universality of the Church. Diocesan life is more than a string of strong parishes. A local Church has an identity that is broader and more comprehensive than any single parish can represent. And of course, the Church Universal is more than simply the loose confederation of dioceses throughout the world.
The ministry of priests in a local Church is more than simply those who are parish priests and those who are not. The ministry of a local presbyterate should be a mission in solidarity for the life and service of the whole Church in union with the Bishop.
The challenge that a presbyterate faces is to recall and foster a sense of the Church that is always more than the local community. Yet in times of frustration and anger, a spirit of isolationism can occur, that rather than bringing priests together in a common ministerial vision, can actually cause them to take refuge and emotional solace in "my parish." Some priests grow isolated from one another, from the bishop, and from the wider Church and take shelter in their parish. "To hell with downtown! The Bishop just doesn't get it! Chancery Officials are out of touch! I'm out here killing myself and the religious men and women, deacons, and most especially the bishop doesn't have a clue!" I've heard all of those sentiments spoken by priest friends that I deeply respect, admire, and love – and at times I may even understand where they come from! As a diocesan bishop, I admit that I cannot envision a more demanding responsibility than the ministry of being a parish priest in today's church.
If a local Presbyterate is to achieve a spirit of unity, we must all acknowledge that too many individual priests are working hard and often without any sense that they are being valued, much less understood. I stand as guilty as any bishop and more than many for this lack of awareness of the pressures that our priests face in the day-to-day living out of your pastoral responsibilities. One of the sources of your anxiety has to do with the future and the great challenge in today's climate of promoting more vocations to the Priesthood.
The mantra of many observers is that if the Catholic Church would simply abandon celibacy and our tradition of a male clergy, then the shortage of clergy would be solved. I was happy to read Gustav Niebuhr's article in the June 9,2001 edition of The New York Times that acknowledged that mainline Protestant and Jewish denominations are facing severe shortages of their own. I take no satisfaction in the challenges that other religious communities are confronting, but it was refreshing to see the focus of the difficulty of clergy shortages placed within the wider context of our society.
I certainly think that our witness of celibacy needs further and more persuasive explanation in order to enjoy a more positive reception. Although celibacy will never be a popular nor has it ever been an easy way to live in the world. Celibacy, after all is a counter-cultural witness. It is today and always has been since it became the dominant discipline of the western Church. The scandalous revelations of the behavior of too many clerics during the past decades have not helped a cynical world to grasp the value of our celibacy.
The highly sexually charged environment in which we are called to live out our celibacy is not receptive to a way of living that opposes the prevailing norms of acceptable immoral behavior. Yet when is a prophetic symbol more needed than in a world where contrary values go unimpeded and unchecked? This also holds equally true – if not more so for the institution of Christian marriage. Let's face it, commitment; life-long promises in any context are not in vogue in our society.
Before we make a panacea of the way that other religious denominations approach the ministry, need we not ask ourselves all of the questions that seem so commonly to go unspoken in a climate of anxiety generated by our current situation? If other religious communities that follow the customs that are so often proposed as a solution for our concerns, are facing the same challenges that we are, will the abandonment of a discipline or the alteration of the constant practice of our Church in limiting the ordained ministry to men resolve a problem that seems to be much deeper than these practices?
I believe that the witness of a well lived and generous celibacy may never have been more needed than it is today and that the tradition of an all-male ordained clergy belong to the very heart of our Catholic understanding of the very nature of the Office of the Sacrificial Priesthood of Jesus Christ. We Catholic priests have always attracted a lot of attention – both favorable and disparaging. We live as signs of the contradiction of the Gospel to the values and morality of the world. We cannot live as signs of contradiction in isolation. We need each other.
We need to know that we enjoy the prayerful support of other priests – even those whose pastoral tasks and ethnic and cultural heritages are different than our own. Young priests need their older brothers as mentors and guides as they shape and form their own priestly vocations. The senior priests need the enthusiasm and energy of the young as a reminder to them of the joy and excitement that our common Priesthood brings. All of these truths were carefully and more completely expressed in the Decree of the Second Vatican Council: Presbyterorun ordinis Art. 8 [7 December, 1965]. That profoundly significant document was written almost 50 years ago at a time when we were not facing the serious shortages with which so many dioceses currently grapple. These words were written long before the recent scandals so disheartened the Church and before we began implementing the decrees of the Second Vatican Council. Almost with a prophetic wisdom, the Council Fathers addressed issues and concerns that have only grown more apparent and pressing during the intervening decades.
Bishops need their brother priests in the ministry – not as drones or functionaries, but as colleagues and friends in serving the needs of the local Church. In fact the identity of a presbyterate is ideally fashioned around the local Bishop in service to the entire diocesan family. While a presbyterate needs a Bishop to be the visible link with the Church Universal and to guide the local community in holiness and with a shepherd's care, a Bishop needs to admit that our work would never be possible or satisfying without the fellowship, the laughter, the criticism, the parody, the forgiveness and fraternity that we find and need in the midst of our priests. In short, we need one another -- more so today than perhaps in recent memory.
As I wrote these words of encouragement and challenge for you, dear brothers, they reminded me of the still unfinished task that is mine in the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Even as you attempt to discover a renewed sense of fraternity and unity in and with one another during this special assembly of Vietnamese priests, please know that I shall try to do the same in an Archdiocese in North Georgia and that I shall remember you in prayer not only this week, but as long as I attempt to be a sign of harmony and unity here in the months and years ahead. I ask for your prayers in return.

Doing well and up walking around with a walker and his wife and daughter at his side. Knee looks MUCH better and pain dissipating. Keep the prayers going for him and all other active requests as prayers are answered!
Well, my oldest boy has a spot in his eye. Got back from the Dr and he looked a little concerned and going to talk to a specialist.
Sorry to hear that JR. Prayers for you and the family.
Thanks guys. He has a grey spot right now. He had a lazy eye when was young also wearing a patch for sometime.
Prayers sent JR. I hope it's nothing too serious.
I hope all is well with the findings JR. Vision loss over cancer, lousy spot over vision loss. Praying for the best.
Thx again guys. Hopefully we see the specialist this week.
Prayers sent for good news.
An update on my wife. Her foot is healing nicely and the pain has really subsided for her. She only has 4 more weeks until she can put weight on it.
The last few days have stretched me mentally and caused me to think of some life changes with my job. Asking for some additional prayers for guidance to make a good choices for my family and me.
Sent Dave. Sure there is a plan in there.
Matt, I know what she is going through.
Prayers sent Dave - JR, is there any update on your sons vision/eye?
Prayers sent Dave. It will all work out.
Thx. Yes they think it might be from trauma so we wait to see if it gets better for about 30 days.
did the boy get his bell rung or .................?
Brother kicked him in the head, had it coming actually but not in the head.
Just hope it is nothing.
Feel open to share why?
Did God say something to you? To change/move?
You know the deal...Be still and wait on him. If you don't hear anything, then you stay your current path.
I have been privy to some high level conversations in large construction industry up here, avg age in most of these industries is 50.Electricians, plumbers, framers, concrete you name it, aging out. this leads to a soon to be shortage of workers up here in Utah which would be a good time to jump into the pot and be at the top of the pile when the tip top falls off so to speak.
Current working environment has continued to become more toxic to my soul. Boring to my brain. I mentioned this a time or two to said contractor and he came at me with a job offer Thursday eve And an open ended timeline to decide what I want, he is all for me finishing my degree, willing to let me use this as a long term or short term goal or a stepping stone to finish school.
It goes back to my conversation with a lady on our family trip, about needing to help youth learn a trade, hard work, working with your hands is good and worthy job.
While I excel in my current position I think that it could be a later endeavor in my life. Not required for right now.
My physical body is craving physical work.
Follow your heart. I do what feels right. I worked in manufacturing and hated it. One or 2 negative people can just make it miserable. I like the old saying...Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life.
I'm with Shawn (did I say that??) take a longer term view.
Make sure you keep your family's needs in mind too. I'd love to do something different and work with my hands too, but I can't in good conscience walk away from the money I make until my job of getting the kids grown and on their feet is done. Thus why I work with my hands every chance I get on the weekends.
Degrees and advanced degrees are not a bad thing, but a 40 year harvard study showed that all things being equal, emotional intelligence is the biggest key to success. Invest in yourself and consider a personal coach. In any field, being the best, and surviving any downturn means being better than those around you. You don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the rest of your group.
Learn how whatever you do helps the company make profit and then innovate to drive more profit. You'll rise quickly and be considered irreplaceable.
So think about where you can be 5-10 years from now and what the income potential is for the job/role/path you decide to take. Money is not everything but when you have a family to support, its an important part of your role.
I would guess many of us here are of a like mind, we like to use our hands. Further I would guess most of us feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day when you can look at something you made/ built. At the end of a long, hard physically demanding day where I have built something with my own hands I'm exhausted, my body tired, my muscles sour but my soul happy.
I currently spend most of my work day in front of a computer screen. Even after a busy day where I know I have accomplished a great deal/ completed important tasks, I do not feel as accomplished as the days I work with my hands at home. It does not help that the union has a heavy presence at my factory which limits the amount of hand on work I can do to nearly zero. That is why I started my own side business. It gives me the sense of accomplishment I need and some extra funds to buy a new gun, or take the family on vacation without dipping into the normal budget.
Being in a similar field, I would not recommend an MBA. That is unless you want to jump more into the business side of things which I don't sense is what you desire. If that is the case I would recommend you switch to Mechanical Engineering. I know many "manufacturing engineers" with mechanical degrees. I also know many people with mechanical engineering degrees in quality, supple management, project management, etc... Most people I know with manufacturing degrees have manufacturing jobs or are somehow affiliated with the day-to-day grind in the factory.
At the very least I would wait until you find yourself a job in your new field before continuing. Many good companies will pay for a large percentage of continuing education. When that time comes look into the University of Madison's Department of Engineering Professional Development courses. I am sure other schools have similar programs but UW is well known for these courses.
I feel like I am starting to ramble here. I feel like I could fill a couple pages on the subject. If you ever want to discuss more let me know.
Interesting enough we have a book on emotional intelligence on our mantle at home currently.
These two above have some really good points Dave.
I worked for a small family owned company while I built my businesses. There were many days I was stuck in the office, however being a small company I wore many hats. When I started it was a start up & I started at the bottom. There wasn't anything but a bottom, lol. However, now being gone three years almost I guarantee I could go back there today and still be the most productive guy in that shop. Being that guy allowed me diversity and we weren't union so it broke up the monotony. Maybe a career change isn't what you need but a detour angling off would be better? If I had stayed in the immediate area there were many options for me with employment because of my reputation. As they say everyday you are interviewing for your next position.
Dave. TRN is spot on. It really depends on whether you want to work for a company or work for yourself. I have always worked for someone else but always in the back on my mind wanted to work for myself. (Batch concrete or Dustless Blasting business as examples). But I have always made too much money working for someone to walk away and my wife of 20 years never worked outside the house so healthcare was always a concern for family. So as I am 59 now and still looking at another 10 years of working for someone. The window for doing something different is slim to none.
My point is that you are young and appear to have the money issue (wife makes the money) handled so you have flexibility to do what you want. You never know when that could change.
I struggled with that concept all the years I piloted jets and helicopters. I worked all of my off time with my hands, and today, I find my ultimate peace working hard on my farm.
17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.
23 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.
Proverbs 14:23 In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.
P14,23 is one I will write in a few places at work.
God's been good to us. Keep my family in prayer this 2018.
- We're tracking to mostly be of debt by the spring, so the better my employer does, the better we do.
- With the adoption process that God direct our paths and be with EVERYONE involved in the process right down to the orphanage director and facilitator (probably the most important link in the chain) abroad.
Hey guys. Please lift up my nephew this week. My sister has fallen back into a very dark space and currently has a no contact order with him due to her drug abuse. Very long story, but her refusal to address her issues to be able to see him has left him very sad and broken He's 10, and was in the ER last night after going into a blind rage screaming he wanted to kill everyone and himself, currently waiting on psych eval, but we all know he's just hurting and lashing out, but this needs help now. Mental stuff is hard, and I'm not any good at it but GOD is and I have faith He'll give us all guidance here.
I'm too upset with my sister to pray for her myself, so please pray for me to find forgiveness and help for her too.
Sent, just be there for him showing others do care and hurt.
Sent Tate! Just let him know that you are hurting too, and pray WITH him for his sick mother and remind him and yourself that it's a terrible disease that his mother is battling.
God puts people in places and situations to help others at the right (His) time. I pray that He puts those people in the places He wants them in and gives each of you the wisdom to see it. Only His peace, mercy, and grace can help in these situations and I pray for them now for your nephew, sister and yourself.
Thank you fellas. Something's working because I was beside myself about this this morning. I'd been receiving text updates from my ex brother in law from the ER since 12:30am and only were discharged at 1pm today, but they are getting a referral to bring him down to Kyle's neck of the woods to the Children's Hospital out by UW for a psych eval. and treatment recommendations. And now I'm just feeling much better about the whole thing. Thank you guys, I'll keep updating.
